Good Fruit Country.

P. A. Enger Of the Park district,
east of Troy, was in Saturday with a
load Of apples and plums raised on his
farm. Mr.. Enger, in addition, to fruit,
raises pretty good lot Of excellent
berries, and particularly strawberries.
He has about the same climate as
American ridge, has no frost at his
place, and soil that is rich enough for
any county. In all he now has seventy
bearing trees and his load this time
consisted Of Transparent apples and
peach plums. Mr.. Enger has great
hopes for his section OF the great state
of Idaho, and believes it has no
superior SO far as the quality OF the
fruit and berries. Particularly is this
true regarding strawberries. At pre-
sent the country in his neighborhood
is mostly forest but the soil is rich and
in time will be cleared up and become
great agricultural district. Within
easy reach of the vast timber industry,
with logging camps and mills and
factories at their very door, affording a
market for every pound of produce
that can be raised The News expects
to see this section become one of the
very best in the Inland empire.

A Generous Doctor

The Palouse Republic says: DR..
w. w. Webb, the popular young med
ical man who looks after the physical
welfare Of Wren Ct Greenough's men
on the construction of the W., I. &
M, tells of former friend, Martin
Luther by name, whose immaculate
nerve is not excelled in the Palouse.
Luther first borrowed $3.50 from DR..
Webb, and then, firing Of his job, that
of timekeeper in one OF the logging
camps, he went to the stable, saddled
the doctors horse and rode to Troy,
where he left the horse in barn and
took the first train out. The prescrib-
er of foul smelling and tasting nos
trums, not knowing how his horse had
got away, instituted search in the adj
joining country. This was kept up
several days, at considerable expense,
when he was advised that the animal
was in a livery barn at Troy, with
charges to the amount Of $4.60 chalk
ed up against him for room and board.
The incident was partially forgotten
when, couple of weeks later, the
medical man received letter dated al
Steilacoom, this state, from Luther,
telling Of some slight misfortune and
asking the loan of SIS for few days.
Those who know the doctor best claim
that he sent his personal check for IS,
with an expression Of his best wishes
and an assurance OF his faith in his
(Lutner's) ability to escape starvation.

ticularly pleasing. The addition in the
rear was carried up two stories and the
new room will be utilized as kitchen
where suppers and banquets may be
provided with some degree Of con-
venience. The Odd Fellows added
new stone foundation early in the
summer, and at that time made the
building stronger by putting in several
iron trusses under the second floor.
About the first Of the year the Troy
lodge paid off the mortgage on their
hall and since then have used available
funds for the improvement of the pro-
perty, which is now credit to the
town. The Troy lodge of Odd Fellows
is now about seventy strong with a
steady increase, and by spring will
pass the hundred mark.

Why not put few loads Of straw on
the roads Just to see how it really does
work? Good roads will improve the
value Of every farm in the community
and at the same time make it a great
deal more pleasant for those who use
the public roads. Straw roads are
never dusty and always fit for traffic.
In the Walla Walla country the exper-
iment has been tried for years and pro-
nounced a great success. It should
