Big Spuds.


The Potlatch is a great country for
good potatoes, especially as to quality
and not SO slow for quantity. Harry
Campbell, who raised the big potatoe
OF which the News spoke some time
ago. brought in four mere TUESDAY
that are beauties. While these last
ones weigh cnly about two pounds
each they are exceptionally fine in
iorm, being smooth and even, and
solid TO the core. They are Just such
potatoes as one would select for the
table on occasions of Importance when
the host hoped to impress upon the
minds Of the guests the fact that the
Potlatch is the finest agricultural dis
trict in the world.
But the Potlatch can also raise biz
potatoes. County Commissioner Sd.
Lamb is authority for the statement that
while at Hawks place a few DAYS ago
he was shown potato which King
onarp had raised en- that ranchand saws
that it was abou, six pounder, while
Mr. Sharp weighed another that tipped
the beam at the six pound notch.
These meisters were Of the Blue Vic
tor variety.
Ike Sly is reported to have raised,
from little less than an acre, on the
Jack Dhscoll place on Driscoll ridge.
148 sacks Of Early Rose and Burbanks
W. F. Harland, from one bucket O
seed, harvested IS buckets on hi:
American ridge farm.
But one Of the finest sacks Of pota
toes we have seen this year wai
brought to the News editor by A. E
Walker Of Driscoll ridge. The entire
sack was Of large, beautiful tubers tina
would do for exhibition at a count,
fair.

Have Them Exported.

The election is now over but many
vicious charges made by men like w.
D. Smith and A. B. Towne still stand
out prominently in the public eye and
ought to be verified. Therefore the
News demands an official investigation
of the county records. If the charges
of graft are true every tax payer in La
tab county ought to know it and the
Troy News wants to know it from a
source that cannot be doubted. If the
charges are true it is time to bring the
guilty ones to account. 1t is time to
know whether ornot Commissioner Ed.
Lamb is doing his duty. 1t is time
to know if County Attorney Sdllingel
purposely deceived the people. 1t is
time to know the truth, no matter
where it leads or who it hits and The
Troy News demands that the county
records be exported at once. We be-
lieve that every cent Of county funds
have been honestly accounted for but
with the accusations that have beer
made the people are full Of doubt and
this must be removed. The republi'
can party stands for an honest ano
economical county government and
has nothing to cover up. The News
believes that every cent can be &C
counted for and that an expert accoun
tant will show the reform orators tt
be guilty Of the dirtiest campaign eve
waged in any county in the United
States. We believe the truth will re
veal the fact that Smith and Town'
and their associates are the most de
liberate and brazen set Of falsifers tina
ever started out to deceive the public
These men have said that the republi
can party was covering up their crook
edness and that the taxpayers were De
inc robbed. They said we feared al
investigation. Not only is this no
true but absolutely false. And we be
lieve the county board will demon
strate that the News has been telling
the people the truth.

Election Was Fine.

So far as Troy was concerned a
more orderly crowd never filed the
town than crowded and jostled each
other all day Tuesday, and while con-
siderable discussion was INDUCED in
no quarreling was seen, AMI through
out the day the best Of feeling pre-
vailed. The friends of the various
candidates worked hard for their re-
spective tickets but in spite Of this the
day passed without even ripple to
mar the day. The weather was idea
and perhaps that helped to cheer up
the crowd and make those who op-
posed each other politically remember
that after all they were friends and
neighbors who, after the smoke hac
cleared away" would still be friends
It is good that such a feeling should
prevail and now that the election il
over let US forget it.

Much More Lumber.

There seems to be a prevailing
opinion in some quarters that the
numbering industry around Troy is
about at an end, and it has been pub
lished in Spokane paper that even
the wood supply at this point has been
consumed. We have taken the
trouble to do little investigating and
can assure the public that there is ab-
solutely no ground upon which to base
such conclusions. There is not a
more competent authority on this sub
iect than IT. A. Dinsmore, who is ex-
tsnsively interested in numbering near
Troy, and he says that it is his opinion
that there will be more lumber mar
k9ted at Troy fifteen years from TODAY
than is now being manufactured in the
woods around Troy He says that he
expects TO be saving more lumber at
that time than he is now saving, and
that the total output Of Troy saw mills
will exceed the present record. II
l4C ll4la lllCa-o tha- ullllQIS Oh Itcl
per year is to be manufactured in our
mills and that the industry is to get
bigger as time goes on.
And all this may be said Of the
wood industry of Troy. Hundreds Of
thousands Of co.ds Of wood is still
sandingto be converted by labor into
wealth that Will flow out over the dis
tict around Troy. There is sufficient
material to keep up our wood Slip
ments for a quarter Of a ce1tuy and he
who thinks that Trey is going cut Of
the wood business is ignorant Of the
facts. Troy is not only the biggest
little town on earth at this time but
will continue TO be the biggest little
town for years to come. Her resources
are sufficient to sustain and upbuild
her and make Of Troy a town Of no
mean size. Just keep your eye on
Troy.

Beans Do We'll.

The News believes the time is not
far distant when the Potlatch will be-
come as famous for its production Of
beans as is old Boston for baked beans.
In fact if Boston is to retain her repu-
tation for the baked article that
cultured old city will have to
make arrangements TO get her bean
supply from the rich fields adjacent to
Troy. And it is our opinion that
beans will soon become the most i'm
portant product in this entire section.
1t will be remembered that we have
already given some good yields for the
season just closed, but there are 9TH
ers well worth mentioning. One Of
these was raised by A. E. Walker on
Driscoll ridge. Mr.. Walker had an
acre of Red Navy from which he has
sold little better than 1945 pounds
with hundred pounds still on hand.
For these beans he received in Troy
three cents per pound, totaling $58.35,
which, together with those on hand,
gives Mr.. Walker over 500 for his
acre. When you consider that the
custom throughout the Potlatch is to
plant beans on land that needs clean
ing up, that in other localities is sum-
mer fallowed at an actual loss to the
farmer, and that these bean crops
yield such magnificent returns, is
there any wonder that those acquainted
with the facts are so enthusiastic II
their praise Of the great Potlatcr
country? And when the News says
that the Potlatch is the Cream Of Crea-
ton is there not reason for such
claim? Truly, the Potlatch is the
most productive land in all the Wes

Does Il Pay.

The News does not pretend that
everything purchased from a catalogue
house is a fraud. We do not believe
that everything sold by mall order
houses is worthless. We will even ad-
NIT that on many things the purchaser
often saves a little and often gets an
article lust as good as can be purchased
from the home merchant. But ooes
i nav in the long run? Do the peo-
nle - r really save money in the end? And
when the whole matter OF trading al

opening up at our very door there Is
no reason to question the fact that the

vance. ', The land is worth more than

home IS balanced up against the send
ing away idea is not the balance in
favor OF the home trading idea? The
News has some pretty good evidence
to submit at this time along this point
and we ask the people to think the
matter over seriously. Read this and
ask yourself if you think it paid the
inan who sent to Sears & Roebuck for
the shoe now on exhibition in the Troy
News window. Here is how it all hap
pened.
Some time ago well known resi-
dent Of this section, being in need Of
heavy pair Of shoes, sat down and
opened the big catalogue at IL Place
where one can read all about shoes.
There were the beautiful pictures and
along SIDE Of The pictures were fine
stories thattold Of the wonderful quality,
style and dula1ility Of the mail oider
shoes. And in big type was the an
nouncement that certain pair that
sell in the country stores for tgo and
three dollars could be had If the pur-
chaser would send Sears & Roebuck
only Sl98. So the man above mem
toned sent the S198 and in due time
was notified by tha Troy agent that
bis shoe had aniyed and upon payment
Of the expe charges could have the
goods. And the shoes W re delivered.
The box wss opened and the 'hey
were! They were compared with the
piclurs in the big catalogue and passed
inspection, Cat long range.) They
were examined closer, just as you
would a pair that you buy from Thos.
Christie, or Mr.. Broman. or Lewie
Wa liner, or Johanson, or Ben Nelson,
or Oscar Larsen. or any other merchant,
and what was said and what the pur-
chaser Of theie beautiful S198 mail
order shoes thought can be imagined.
The shoes VIZ, not worth the express
that it cost to get them from Chicago
to Troy. Why? Because they were
not made from leather at all, not the
kind OF leather that would wear org
enough for anyone to get $l.98 worth
of good out Of them. These S1.98
shoes that look so nice-on paper
were made from the waste or split
leather and were worthless. And more
than that so rotten was the stuff that
on the ankle Of the right shoe was a
hoe and it was this hole that made it
possible for the Troy News to get the
shoe for exhibition. The purchaser,
before he had worn the shoes, finding
that it would not pay to return the
goods, and not knowing whether or
not another pair Of $1.o8 shoes would
be any better, brought the shoe re-
ferred to to Troy and had George Saad,
who does shoe repairing, put patch
over the hole. The News editor hap
pened to see the shoe and under our
instructions Mr.. Saad bought the shoes
from the man who had sent his cash
to Chicago because he tho ght it Iaid
to buy shoes insight and unseen. Did
it pay? Even though the company
would give him another pair would he
not be compelled to wait several weeks
before he could get his shoes and per
haps in the end get another pair no
better? And who would be compelled
to pay all the cost Of sending pair o
shoes three times scros5 the continent
Does it pay? Contrast this with the
treatment this same man can get from
any home merchant. compare the
quality of the goods and then take int
account the time and bother and WI
will leave it to you whether or not i
pays.
