BY special request The News again
calls attention to the dangerous con-
dition OF our public school building
1t is said the building is now leaning
much more than it did last fall and un-
less precaution is taken Troy may
have a catastrophe that will saoden
every home in the community for all
time. If nothing more can be done
could 1t not be braced and made safe?
The ground is now thawing out and
there is real danger. If nothing else
eau be done close the school.

The News again desires to call at
tentlon to the fact that our citizens
must not permit politics to overshadow
the greater question of pulling togeth-
er for Troy. Let every citizens re-
solve, that come what may, Troy shall
be first all the time, and while we may
disagree over politics as over the cues
ton OF religion, science, soup and
sauces, we are still citizens of the best
town in Latah county and proud of it.
Let our motto be, Troy first"

By giving the county printing to
The News, the commissioners have
saved the taxpayers of Latah county
something like SIS this quarter. If so
how many believe the highest bid is
the best bid? If the News has
done this the taxpayers ought to
show their appreciation by patronizing
this paper to the extent of one sub
scription at least.

TOO BUSY.

In spite of the published reports Of
its Moscow correspondent the Re
view is far from correct in its political
forecasts of Latah county politics. The
most diligent search, on the part of
The Troy News, has yet failed to dis
cover even one prospective candidate
IN Troy. Troy has plenty OF excellent
material, but that fact does not plove
that all these good men are hungry for
public office. AS matter of fact these
gentlemen are too busy tending to
business interests here in the biggest
little town on EARTH" to become can
didates on even the republican ticket,
and OF all the gentlemen so far men
toned not one could be induced to
accept the jobs, even if election were
assured. Troy is certainly entitled to
consideration at the hands OF the re
publicans OF Latah county, but as yet
there is no evidence that Troy republi-
cans will insist on her rights. There
will probably be no opposition to the
nomination of Commissioner Lamb.
but aside from this all the so-called
forecasts are simply hot air. And if
Troy does conclude to ask for a place
on the ticket Troy republicans will in
sist on naming their own candidate
without dictation Of bunch of would
be-pohtical prohets at the county seat.

The man who does not attend the
primaries is not doing his duty. The
right kind of delegates means the right
kind OF candidates and the right kind
oil county and state officials. All the
crookedness and political corruption
can be traced to indifference on the
part OF the voters and the sooner the
taxpayers realize this the better for
them.
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1906-02-16

One thing certain, Troy will roll up
almost a solid republican vote next
fall. The News predicts that no other
precinct in'the county will make bet
ter showing when the votes are count
ed the day after election. This, of
course, if the party put up the right
kind of ticket.

Where few months ago men
laughed when the News suggested
moving the county sat to Troy, these
same people now speak Of the matter
with trembling and terror, their voices
IN very whisper, as though they
feared the mere mention of the sub
lect would result in something awful.
1t will.

The democrats are now spending
their spare time stating candidates for
the next republican county and state
tickets. The republicans will probably
insist on having something to say at
the proper time.

1t has often been said that a

out and all inhabitants live as we'll

prove this assertion.
In 1905 the farmers of Missouri,
account the 1906 report of the

than enough of all necessities to

large variety of commodities which
are classed as luxuries ,sa-.

goods.
For real cold weather the game
of the state annually supplies

for rugs and other similar house
furnishings.
The forestry products are suffi-
cient to supply the demand of ey-
erything in the timber line, includ-
ing tar for roofs and wooden ware
for the kitchen. The southwest
counties can supply enough cotton
wood and willow for paper for the
