Our Opportunity.

Opportunities come alike to towns
as well as individuals and towns no less
than men must grasp them lest they
pass forever. The News desires to
call attention once more to the matter
of public roads, and urges united and
earnest effort in a matter of vital impor-
tance. We do this because we be.
lieve the time ia act is now, for to
hold the trade at this time is easier
than getting it back after it is once di-
virted in other directions. New towns
are springing up along the new rail
road to our north and northeast, but
far enough away to do this town no
damage if Troy does its duty. The
News has no fault to find, but rather
congratulates our merchants for their
energy and push and past perseverance.
But it seems that right now new op-
porthnities are presented to do some
permanent good for our town. We re-
fer particularly to the road leading
over the big hill to Nora. AS that

moving the road to the east side of the
gulch the difficulties can be overcome
here there is always an abundance ol
snow during all the winter, making
what is now a bad piece of road as
good as any along the entire distance.
If this change cannot be made then
let the road be abandoned and a new
one opened down the gulch to the
Stinson spur. After reading this the
News hopes our citizens will not per
NIT so important matter to drop.
Let US act. AS an illustration of what
it means we will cite the remarks of Z
farmer who has hauled wood to Troy
during the winter. Last week he said
I can't bring in any more because
the Reitman hill is bare. If this roaC
was moved across the gulch to the
snow I could still deliver to Troy un
til there was a general breaking W
and all the snow was gone" Nov
what will Troy do about it?

A Big Industry.

Few people realize the magnitude
of the business transacted at this point
by a local firm, the Troy Lumber &
Mfg. Co., who, in addition to their fac
tory located here in our town, operate
two sawmills few miles to the north.
During the week a News representa-
tive visited the company's office and
was shown the record of the company's
business for the past five months.
This gave total of $27, ,366.02 as the
cash expenditures during the five
months, ending February 13, this year,
all of which sum was spent here ex-
cept 5000 sent to the coast for shin
giles and $4,000 spent in Spokane for
glass. This plant employs thirty men
at the local factory, giving steady en-
ployment the year through, and,
said Secretary Bohman, we hold no
strings on our employees, either.
They spend their money where they
please" The Pond mill, at Nora, op-
Grated by this company employs fif-
teen men there, and will cut this year
at this plant three million feet. The
mill in White Pine gulch will also be
operated. A meeting of the stock
hoIders, held few days ago resulted
in the election of the following officers
for the company: Presiden, Per Johan-
son; vice president, John Anderson;
secretary and treasurer, Ole Bohman;
manager, Nels P. Peterson.
This company is now completing its
second year of existence. and despite
predictions Of failure has grown and
prospered from the beginning, and is
today by far the most important indus
try Troy has. These people, by per
severence, backed by ample capital,
have equipped plant that is modern
in every detail, enabling them to turn
out work of character and at a price
that gets the business. Only last week,
in competition with Spokane mills, the
Troy firm captured another contract fol
the inside fnishings Of large resi-
dence in that city, thus proving thei
ability to compete with the best anC
biggest factories for fine work.

A Boys Experience with Llmburssr.

Ma sent me down to pay bill at
the grocer's last Saturday. The boss
behind the counter made me a present
of something wrapped in piece of silver
paper which he told me was piece of
Limburger cheese. When I got out
side the shop / opened the paper, and
when I smelt what was inside I felt
tired. I took it home and put it in
the coal shed. In the morning I went
to it again. 1t was still there and no
body had taken it. I wondered what
I could do with it. Father and mother
were getting ready for church. l put
a piece in the back of fathers pants
and a piece in the lining Of mothers S
muff. I walked behind when we went
to church. 1t was beginning to get
warm. When we got in church and
after singing the first hymn, mother
told father not to sing again but to
keep his mouth shut tight and breath
through his nose. After prayer per-
spiration stood on fathers face and
the people in the next pew
got up and went out. after the
next hymn some of the wardens came
around to see if there were any dead
rats in the church. Some more people
near our pew got up and went out,
putting their handkerchiefs to their
noses as they went. The parson said
they had better close the service and
hold a meeting to discuss the sanitary
condition of the church. Father told
mother they had better go home one
at time. When they got home they
both went into the front room but did
not speak for some time. Mother
spoke first and told father to put the
cat out of the room, because she
thought it was going to be sick. 1t
was sick before father could get it out.
Mother then turned round and round
and found that the canary was dead.
Mother told father not to sit so neal
the fire, as it made matters worse
Just then the hired man came in and
asked if he could throw open the win
dows as the room smelt very close,
Father went up stairs and changed his
clothes and took hot bath. Mother
took fathers clothes and offered them
to tramp, who said: Thanks, kind
Lady, they are bit too high for me. 4"
Mother threw them in to the creek
Father was afterwards summoned fol
poison ng the fish. Next morning
father had a note sent to him. Fathel
came to wish me good night at one
O'Clock in the morning with the note
in one hand and the razor strop in the
other. 1 got under the bed. Tht
people next door thought we were
beating carpet in our house. can

given my little sister what had left o
that limburger cheese. 1 thought it
pity to waste it. "-Exchange.

nor gained the impression from
what he saw and heard there that
the district will be a scene of much
activity this year. The country
has been opening up well showing
that it will bear development and
it seems probable that operations
will be conducted on a much more
extensive scale than heretofore. If
the road into the district be finish

doubt that section will enter upon
an era of permanent prosperity.

on Expense Account Connected
With Return of Locke.

The County Commissioners took up
the claim of Sheriff Richard Smith
for reward and travelling expenses of
Jesse Bailey, who went to San Fran.

Locke to Richmond, but deferred ac-
tion until the later date. The claim
was for s115. The reward, which was

police, because without the helD OF
the local police, they would not have
captured Locke. The bill, therefore,
is for $50 reward and s65 for Bal
ley's travelling expenses.
