STILL EAT MEAT.

America may be given to fads;
especially is this statement true
when applied to their foods. The
past few years we have been break
fast food crazy. A great wave has
swept over the country putting
the ban On meats every now and
then we have some eminent medi-
cal authority telling us we over
eat. The vegetarians have gained
quite number of followers. But
figures show there are plenty of us
who continue to buy those big,
juicy T bone steaks, like our NUT
ton chops and enjoy the cham that
am" The past year for this scatter
ing element it took just 81 900, 900
hogs. IL 900, 900 sheep and 7,O00,-
600 beeves at a cost of $663, 900, 900
to supply our wants. Think if we
were all vegetarians of the awful
lot of cabbage and turnips that
money would buy! The time may
come when sour-kraut will take the
place of the two-year old steer but
we have not reached it yet.

YOUR HOME MERCHANT.

Why don't you patronize the
local merchants? There are 100
reasons why you should to one
why you shouldn't. 1t may be he

an effort for your trade-says it

modern enough to do business as
the hustling present day success
full business man does.
We are going to talk to You as
though your merchants were all
wide awake fellows who take liber-
al spaces in the newspapers and
tell you every week through this
space of the store news, the new
things they have and the low prices
they are giving. fla local merchant

and skin EN-" look out for him.

build up your town and is always
willing to take an interest in things
calculated to better it is your friend
rs we'll as q great man for the com.
munity.
In the first place he sells you
better goods than out of town firms
and at lower price. He is here
today and not gone tomorrow. If
the shoes you buy for Johnnie wear
out before they should or Nellie's
dress fades, he is here to make it
good. He can't misrepresent if he
wants to for he is here to stay and
you could lose him much trade BY
telling your neighbors Of the shah
by treatment you received at his
hands.
He buys your produce, never
even hints there are bad eggs in
your lot but holds his nose and
counts them crediting you with SO
many dozen fresh ranch eggs at so
much q dozen. And you all make
No. l butter when you sell it to the
local merchant. He takes it all
regardless of it's age, color, etc.
He pays the taxes that keeps up
your roads and builds the little red
school house. He's a liberal do.
nator, too.

as an example of liberaiity. With

Winters In Lewiston,

James Witt, one OF Idah o
county's old timers, left Monday
for Lewiston where he will spend
the winter Mr.. Witt usually
spends the summers in this county
down on the Salmon in the neigh
borhood of Golf. A singular fact
that he discovered while down
there one year was that John
Levander of that town was born
the same year as he aud crossed the
plains in 1859, the time that he
left the east and followed Horace
Greeley's advice. Mr.. Witt and
his friend can relate some stirring
experiences of the early pioneer
days Of the country and . talk
with them is interesting to listen to.

SChnell-JaCk.

Mr.. and Mrs. George N. Schnell
have issued cards announcing the
marriage Of their daughter, Elsie
Marie Schnrll and Johu M. Jack
at Weiser, Idaho, August 81. This
will come as Q surprise to many
in this city as it was little suspected
the jolly party consisting Of Misses
Schnell and Moore, the Mesers.
Jack and Cote and Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Jones, who returned the last
of August from an outing Of Elk
weeks in the mountains, were
guarding the secret Of marriage.
Their marriage is the elimination
Of pretty little romance and the
fact that they have succeeded in
keeping it secret from their friends
adds the more happiness to it all.
Both Of the parties are very popu.
lar in the social set of the city and
their friends are busy rendering
congratulations.
The young people were married
at Weiser on the 81 Of August,
Miss Ella Moore and r. Cote OF
this city being present at the cere.
mony, and decided to keep it secret
for some time. But madam rumor
was busy and each succeeding day
they were pressed harder by their
friends to know the truthfulness Of
the hearsay conversation. Intim.
ate friends Of the young people
were aware of their marriage
shortly after their return and at
last they ceased to deny it.
The bride il the only daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Schnell Of
this city. She is Michigan girl,
having come here some years ago
with her parents. A resident of
Grangeville but a short time, che
has host of friends to whom she
has endeared herself. A lady pos
sessed Of many womanly traits,
she is we'll worthy the husband she
has chosen.
John M. Jack, who is manager
of the water system of this city, il
a young man Of sterling worth and
has demonstrated his ability as a
business man and an enterprising
citizen. He has been in this city
for the past four or FIVE years and
his friends are limited only by his
acquaintance. Coming from q
we'll known Los Angeles family
whose position in life is such that
their children are not compelled to
put forth any particular effort for
their share of the pleasures Of this
world, he has cast aside this life Of
luxury that might be his and gone
out in the world to win on his in
dividual merits. He has shown
he is the kind that succeed. There
is not a man in this town who can
point to single instance where he
has been taken advantage Of by
Mr.. Jack, during the time the
water system has been under his
management, and that speaks well
of him.
The young people left Monday
evening on their honey moon trip,
which will be of several weeks
duration and include a visit at the
home OF the groom's brother in
Wenatchee, Washington. They
will he at home to their friends in
this city, October 10th.

Algebra is hard, but all enjoy the

Happy Hunting Ground

Tuesday morning word Of the death

that the Indian was indulging in high
lonesome;" drove his wife and children
from the house in drunken frsnzy or
stupor, in some way set the house on
fire and burnt up with it, nothing but
his charred and blackened bones being
left to tell the tale.
Thus passes away character of some

of marked ability, had been an inmate
of most the local and states prisons,
understood English thoroughly being a
student Of the Carlyle school, and when

big Potlatch just closed at his place and

Sunny Alberta"

People who are anxious to find homes
in Alberta had best consider awhile
before making the move. 1t may be
all right in summer. the following
extract from a letter recently received
from Mr.. Ora Trout shows what it is
in winter.
install, Albert, Jan. II, 1907.
Ora has gone after wood again to-
day. Not many days are warm enough
so that he can work, so he is home
most of the time He walked over to
town Monday and they told him it was
50 degrees below zero. The wind was
blowing as he came home and he had
to face it. He thought he would
freeze and had to keep his handkerchief
over his face to protect it. You never
saw any cold weather. We heard that
it was so below zero that night.
Is impossible to keep the kitchen
warm. The dish cloth will freeze
hanging on the rod over the stove, and
every bit of water that is spilled freezes.
We keep fire in the heater all night
but wat standing in a pail in the
room will freeze solid. When I go to
get a meal I have to thaw everything
out.
we have decided to stay here long
enough to have sale, which will prob
ably be along toward spring. We
would rather have ten acres there than
a quarter section here with the win
ters.'
