A Great Country

This is certainly wonderful country.
Wonderful in its healthful climate;
wonderful in its productiveness; won
derful in the absence Of pests and
destructive storms. Just think of it,
you who are looking for a location.
Here we have country where grains
and grasses, fruits, vegetables and
flowers grow and mature with cei-
tainty and in quantities that guarantee
peace and plenty to the farmer. This
section has never known crop failure.
We have never experienced destruc-
tive storm. We wouldn't know a
cyclone if we were to meet it in the
road, and never saw enough mosquitoes
and other pests to choke a populist.
We of this country are strangers 10
sunstrokes, and couldn't tell, to save
our necks, how it feels to have chills
and ague. No one ever has 'em out
here. So healthful is the Potlatch
that the average man has to work like
sin to get the blues, and they're never
fatal in this climate. We are sure of
crop if we put it in, and certain of a
bountiful harvest when harvest time
comes. And the cropsl When we
tell the easterner about sixty bushels
OF wheat to the acre, and a hundred
bushels of oats and even more, and
show him our big potatoes and cab
bage and rosy checked apples, we are
put down as the biggest liars on the
western hemisphere. That is why
there is no use OF mentioning the
yield. There is no use, for the fellow
who isn't acquainted with this county
wont believe it. They accuse US ol
twisting the truth about these matters.
But that is all nonsense. Why should
we western people lie when the average
fastener wont believe the pure, unvar-
Inished, undefiled truth7 This is q
great country and some day the fac,
will dawn on the eastern fellow who is
hunting for home in the great west,
and then there will be rush that will
send the price OF farm lands soaring
and double our population.

It's the Milwaukee.

There is now little doubt as to the
real identity of the new railroad now
building from Palouse to Collins, and
constructed under the name of the
Washington, Idaho & Montana Railway.
For some time it has been known that
crew OF Milwaukee surveyors have
been running lines connecting the main
line of the Milwaukee now building
down the st. Joe through Tekoa to the
coast, and it is now reported, ard on
good authority, that the survey has
proceeded as far as Collins, and the e
burted into the Washington, Idaho &
Montana. 1t is also known that the
Potlatch Company must market their
millions Of lumber in the east, and that
they must have direct eastern connec-
iion with the transcontinental road.
The building of the Washington. Idaho
& Montana to Collins, and there con-
Meeting with branch over to the main
line on the st. Joe, gives the Weyer-
hauser company just such connection
as they must have, and just where they
want it. The News predicts that the
Washington, Idaho & Montana, from
Palouse to Collins, is branch of the
Milwaukee, and will become one of the
most profitable feeders of the Milwaukee
system, and that the road will he pushed
Immediately through to connection
with the Milwaukee main line on Il G
1t. Joe. This is our guess and we be-
lieve time will verify it.

The Limit of Life,

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that de-
termines it's duration, seems to be be-
tween 80 and 50; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urg d; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures best helper
after 80 is Electric Bitters, the scientific
tonic medicine that revitalizes every
organ of the body. Guaranteed by G. "
Johnson Druggist. SOC.

Livcrymen Should Organize.

There ought to be Liveryman's Pro-
tective Association in Latah and Nez
Perce counties. There ought to be a
regular system in which each llveryman
would become the guardian of every
other liveryman's live stock. When a
team: leaves barn, cay in Troy. Mr..
Jones or Mr.. Day would call up the
livery barns, say in Moscow, If that
we're the destination, notifying them
that a certain team had left for Moscow
at certain time, When the team
reached Moscow the barn there would
check the time and notify the owner.
II the team had been overdriven the
owner would know it. If the man hir-
ing the team had got it to go only mile
out of town and, as is often the case,
had been driven to Moscow, the owner
would be notified the moment the team
arrived, even if the receiving barn had
received no notice of such team being
on thesroad, the word would be sent
that certain team had just arrived,
stating condition of team. If it were
known that such a system were in use,
much of the abuse now common would
stop. because detection would be certain.
Such an organization would be great
protection to the horses against abuse,
especially the fellow who overdrives'
and the organization could be main
tanned at practically no expense. The
News would be glad to see this matter
taken up by the liverymen.
