The child, with small loving arm
pressed close to his breast, was fast asleep

looked like a fresh peach and had the soft
perfume of flower.

ing room of fashionable London
lady with penchant for patronizing
both rising and risen genius. There
appear there a brother and sister,
Mortimer and Vivien Monmouth, who
come under the former classification.
and Rendel Paget, a young man who
has already won a name as a singer,
but who is DESTROYS Of winning great
er fame and fortune as an operate
composer. Paget is infatuated with
Vivien. in whom he believes he has at
last found his inspiration. That even
ing Paget is visited in his chambers
at the Albany by a leading actress
known as Mrs. Otway. They greet
each other as friends. Their CONVEX
sation 'discloses that they are man
and wife. the parents of a seven
year-old boy, but that they had lived
apart for several years, their mar
riage unknown to the public. Mrs.

of her own reputation and for their
boys sake their marriage must be
made known. Paget reluctantly as
sents, but his face grows worn and
haggard as he faces the prospect Of
telling Vfvien that he Is married.
Mrs. Otway's parting concession of
months delay, however, brings him
temporary relief.

Getting There at Last.

After years Of anxious waiting, far
from every advantage Of modern civili-
cation, the rich country to our north is
coming to its own. The iron horse has
already awakened the sleeping citizens
of Avon with its hoarse whistle, and
each day finds it pounding its way
further and further into the heart
Of the great pine forest that its
coming will forever destroy. 1t has
been but few short months since this
same section was but the wild and rude
habitation OF man. But little while
since the people living there were
compelled to travel miles over rough
roads to reach railroad and not long
that they knew what it was to receive
anything better than weekly mail;
it has not been long since the value oil
land, now at a handsome figure, was
at your own price, and easy to get
at that. But change has suddenly
come over the country. A railroad
has been constructed and already pre-
parations for gigantic logging operations
are under way. The woods are fill
ed with sturdy axmen, the forest is to
disappear, and where, for ages past has
reigned deep and gloomy solitude is
to be life and human progress. Pros
perity will be everywhere and all the
country tributary will reap a portion o.
the harvest.

sharp pointed quill. He is demo

This will give Latah county one re-
spectacle democratic paper which will
add little interest to the approaching
campaign. The question that now
arises is, what will become of the poor
old Star-Miror. 1t has Topped around,
picking up crumbs OF both old parties,

cratic sheet, there will be nowhere in

Will Nof Hurt Troy.

AS, we have repeatedly said the
building of the railroad into the country
to the northeast OF US will not hurt
Troy. 1t will, it is true, put stop to
the business that has been coming here
for thirty miles, and Troy will no long
er be the supply point for this country;
so far undeveloped and sparsely settled.
But those who are predicting the death
of Troy when the new. railroad is COM
pleted lose sight OF the fact the build
ing of this road, instead OF injuring US,
will be great benefit. How2 Be-
cause it means the rapid growth of a
section heretofore a mere wilderness.
1t means the forest of white pine is to
become hive of industry, affording
steady employment to thouands of men.
not one Of whom will produce pound
that he eats or wears. 1t means a
home market for hay, oats and poultry;
it means that there will be cash mar
ket for more porks than this entire sec
tion cal produce, more fruit than we
can raise, more produce than our farm
ers can supply. 1t means than instead
Of drawing from US it will yield up a
portion of the golden treasure that will
flow back from the eastern consumers
Of the finished product Of our forest.
Nor have we enumerated all. We
hova not cold tbot tba oaur ro;IrOod
means market for every good horse
that can be produced by the farmers
tributary to Troy. That all this will
have tendency to increase our popu-
lation and give our merchants more
customers than they have today. Ger
tain it is that it will not hurt Troy, and
the fellow that figures that it will is
away off his base.

Want II Fixed.

The News is in receipt OF a commun-
cation from a resident of the Collins
country who expresses his thanks over
The TACT that in our last issue we called
s,,sntion to the fact that the Potatch
Lumber Company had taken the public
road for their private use and had put
,he wagon road over hill too steep
for traffic. The writer say the COM
nonv has made an effort to grade the
wagon road around the side of the hill
hpt has not yet commenced to give
the public anywhere near as good a
road as was appropriated by the COM
nanv for their private use. The writer
ssgs that unless the authorities come
N the rescue OF the people a serious
DAMAGE e will be done, and the citizens
will be cut off from market except they
use a private railroad Of the Potlatch
Lumber Company. The News under
stands the matter has been called to
tbe attention of the board of county
commissioners, and when approached
Commissioner Lamb informed the
News editor that the company would
either give the district as good a road
as the old one or the board would order
the old lcad opened. The board
did this in the case Of a road of A. B.
Towne near Moscow mountain, were
the road was moved from almost leve
ground and run over hill by Mr.
Towne. The company will be treat
ed fairly but will, the News believes
be compelled to make satisfactory
road or abandon the old one. 1t i:
quite probable the company will com
ply with the demands Of the law anc
make the road, and that they will dc
so Just as soon as their rush of getting
the railroad running is over, which vii
be in the very near future.

A Great Change.

The citizens Of Troy have reached
the point where they are demanding
better homes. Our town has passed
the point where the people are in that
state of mind where they are ready to
move at moments notice. They
have made up their minds to stay here
and are preparing to live. Never in
the history of the town was there such
a universal demand for new paint. bet
ter fences and comfortable surroundings.
From end to end Of the town are evil
dences Of the spirit Of permanent pro-
gress. And what a difference it has
made. Just step out and look over
the town. Compare it with the Troy
of even two years ago and you will
marvel at the change that has been
wrought. There has been a great
change.

Those Avon Roads.

|
July 10Th notice you have quoated
S. R. Greenwood as saying that nay
statement in regard to the condition of
the roads in this district, which ap-
peared in the News under date Of May
81 was absolutely untrue" Now,
Mr.. Editor, before being elected
member in good standing in the Anna
MAS Club, think it no more than JUS
jice to myself to be allowed to sub
stantiate the claims made in your
paper under the heading, Practical
Socialism,"
AS most everyone in this locality is
fully aware, Mr.. Greenwood held the
Office Of road supervisor during 1905
and 1906, but in case some might have
forgotten about it, trip to the county
seat for the purpose Of investigating the
reports and expense b lis Mr.. Green
wood turned in, (Which is about all the
evidence the taxpayers of this road dis
trict have to show for the money ex-
pended during his term, would prove
both interesting and instructive.
We do not exactly blame Mr..
Greenwood for holding the Office; not
as much as we do the people who
elected him, for in cur opinion it has
been long time since Mr.. Greenwood
possessed all the faculties belonging to
man in the prime Of life. Certainly
a man possessed Of any sense of fair
ness and ordinary judgment would not
appropriate the money or work which
rightfully belonged to one section Of
the district, and transfer it to his own,
and is not, to say the least, exercising
the judgment we would expect the
ordinary man to display.
The thoroughfare to which l prev
iously referred has been public road
for about twelve years and should, as
anyone knows, who has brains enough
to fill a mustard seed, be kept open to
traffic and in passable condition, espec-
tally if the people living along it, and
who are compelled to travel over it,
contribute more in taxes than do those
who are having the money spent on
the highways along III ir eva property
where there is no possible question as
to who will derive the benefit.
Believe me, Mr.. Editor, I am not
alone in taking sides against the Social
lists on this question. 1 have the
heartiest sympathy of goodly number
of the best citizens in this part Of the
county, who are desirous Of nothing
more than a square deal" insist,
if may Judge Socialism by the exam
pie set here by the Avon road bosses,
that I have had all want of it. i

Thai: Thirteenth Street Walk.

A resolution by Chairman Young, Of
the streets and alleys committee Mon
day night, relative to establishing the
Thirteenth street sidewalk, was adopt
ed by the council. In all probability
the walk will not be laid this fall, as
there will be a heavy fill to make, and
this should remain in all winter before
laying the walk. The dirt taken from
the Summit street grade reduction can
be used to advantage on the Thirteenth
street fill.
The mayor was also instructed by
another resolution by Mr.. Young to
grade the parking along the south side
of Linn street between Second and
Third avenues.
