Protect Cattle.

The cattle raisers of Latah County
should form a prot ,ctive association,
electing some good man secretary.
the roundup in the fall of 1905
there were over two hundred head of
cattle missing from Latah county, OF
which McGary Bros, of Janesville, lost
26 head, and Collins Bros, Of Genesee
lost almost the same number. Other
residents of the county lost from three
to ten head. During this year the
cattle raisers expect to form an associ-
alton whereby all who belong will be
on the lookout for cattle belonging to
any member OF the association. Nc
Gary Bros. are at present the largest
cattle owners in the county and they
suggest that every cattle owner or raiser
should establish a brand and have il
recorded, and that the brands should
be published in the Troy News unit
the brand of every cattleman become:

ton. Each member will be taxed Z
small sum to defray the expense o

They are Here.

Those much talked of and long
promised calendars arrived Tuesday
and are now ready for inspection. The
sample line shows over two hundred
varieties, and are an exceptionally pref
ty lot. We propose to show our ap-
probation for the kind and patient
way Troy business firms have treated
us in this matter by doing them not
only the best of work but giving them
calendars at prices that travelling agents
cannot proftably meet. B doing this
work at Troy many dollars will be kept
at home, and used in building up a
first class printing establishment in
Troy. This will pay, because a good,
prosperous home newspaper and mod
ern job plant is worth money to any
town, and if so, Troy will profit by
giving all reasonable support to the
News. At least The News editor
thinks so.

Visits His Parents.

Dick Schenterlein left Tuesday for
a visit with his parents at his old home
in Kankakee, Illinois. 1t has been
twenty-five years since he left home, a
mere boy, to make his way in the
world and his return to his old home
will have many surprises, pleasures
and disappointments. He said he
supposed those whom he remembered
as mere children would not know him
now, but that it certainly wouldn't
take long to get acquainted. Mr..
Schenterlein recently disposed of his
fine timber land near Jansville and
having closed up his business affairs
will visit his old home and then return
to Latah county where he expects to
remain. He says the east is no place
for poor man because things are too
settled and fixed and opportunities not
plentiful.

A subscriber from fancy complains
that he has trouble in getting his Troy
News. Says it is often opened and
read before he can get it. Where
subscribers fail to get The News
promptly they will confer a favor by
informing the publisher at once. The
News is, unless we have bad luck,
painted every Thursday evening and
put in the Troy post Office early Fri
day morning. This c-tches every
mail, including the rural, and gives
most of our readers the paper Friday
We do this, often working the entire
night Thursday to do so, that our
readers may get their paper promptly.
The inside, containing the best and
latest teleoraphic news, is printed in
Spokane Wednesday, and then rushed
here where we complete the edition
and mail them out, now 700 every
issue. 1t cost US something in both
time, energy and cash, to do all this
but the fact that our work is bringing
from our patrons words of encourage
ment and some cash we feel like dig
ging into our labors harder than ever.
If possible our aim shall be to give
the biggest little town on EARTH the
best little paper on earth, and by the
united support of the territory served
we can do it. We want the people,
farmers, as well as businessmen, to feel
that the Troy News is their paper,
representing the best interests of the
entire district, and an institution
worthy Of liberal support. That is the
way the editor feels about it. Lei us
join hands and work together.

Philias CIemanl Married.

By an oversight The News failed to
announce last week the marriage of
Philias Clements to Miss Emma Hill,
of Missouri. The bride is a stranger
but will find the people of Latah ready
to welcome her as a permanent resi-
dent of this section. Mr.. Clement is
a well-known and respected resident Of
Latah county where he has lived for
the past eighteen yeas. Mr.. Glenn
ent met his bride in Moscow last week
where he had arranged to be married,
but was refused license because Miss
Hill could not produce witness who
knew her personally, a thing impossi-
BILE, and embarrassing to both the
lady and Mr.. Clements. Being un-
able to get the license at Moscow Mr.
Clement took his wife-to-be and wa:
married in Lewiston, where a license
was issued to him. They passed
through Troy last week enroute to Mr.
Clement farm near Avon.

A few days ago Gust Sundberg had
the misfortune to loose two good
cows by drowning at his farm five
miles east of Taoy. During the win
ter the cattle had been watered at a
big hole cut through the ice on a
pond at the Sundberg farm. During
the spring thaw three head Of milch
COWS, during Mr.. Sundberg's absence,
went onto the pond for their usual
drink when the ice gave way. Two
were drowned but the third COW was
rescued. In her efforts to save the
cattle Mrs. Sundberg broke into the
pond but was gotten out with no other
damage than a severe ducking in the
ice water.

Out Of Debt.

After several years Of hard work the
local lodge of Odd Fellows is now out
of debt with a few dollars on the
credit side of the bank account. The
lodge has built and paid for a nice,
comfortable hall which is quite nicely
furnished, have installed a high grade
piano, and made other substantial
Improvements that bear testimony to
the progressive spirit of the members.
The lodge room has recently been i'm
proved by putting in a raised platform
around the entire hall and in the near
future is to be carpeted. By unani-
nous consent no smoking will here
after be permitted during the sessions
of the local lodge. The order here
has enjoyed substantial growth dur
ing the past winter, and as a fitting
display Of the feeling of gratitude foi
the prosperous growth and the liqui-
'dation Of all debts big banquet and
celebration is being planned.
