Another. Good Time.

The Troy lodge of Rebekahs held
another social session Tuesday even
ing and enjoyed a fine time. Dom
inoes and other games were payed till
time for lunch when some very excell-
ent sandwiches, coffee and cake were
served. There was a nice crowd pres
ent and will be a larger crowd
present next Tuesday evening when
another social session will be held. 1t
has been decided to make these meet
ings so enjoyable that every one of the
seventy-fve members will be there
every meeting. Those who do not at
tend will certainly miss something.
Each Rebekah is invited to bring to
lodge the kind of a game they like
best, whether it is dominoes, checkers
or marbles, and enjoy a social evening.
1t is also agreed that those who desire
may dance occasionally while the resi-

To Kill Canadian Thistle.

The following recently appeared in
the Colfax Commoner, relative to an
experiment at the Pullman college:
Last week the experiment station re-
ceived letter from ]. A. B. of Everett
asking how to exterminate the Cana
dian thistle. Prof w. S. Thornber,
horticulturist, replied as follows: The
Canadian thistle is hard plant TO fight,
but by judicious cutting and cultivation
you can eradicate it. The plant must
be kept from forming a growth above
the surface of the ground for at least
one year in order that your efforts for
its determination may be successful.
The plant spreads by underground stem
or roots, which are thrown up at dis
tances from three to six feet from the
parent plant, so merely destroying the
mother plant will not kill this weed.
A good careful cutting during the
month Of June, followed by other cut
tings in the latter part of July and on
through August will check the thistle
materially, and may destroy it entirely
tits generally quite difficult to eradicate
the plant in pastures and fence corners
since a small residue will be left unde-
stroyed which grow during the follow
ing year. There is no spray that wi |
kill it. Sometimes it is hopeful to cut
the thistle off about three inches below
the surface Of the ground, and apply
salt t) the surface, which causes
the root to rot by drying out. In cult
vated fields it is usually advisable to
rake out the underground stems and
allow them to dry thoroughly before
blowing again.

Same Old Stove.

The other day the News editor drop
ped into the hardware store Of John
Botten's and was attracted by a row OF
fine new stoves and ranges just set up
for inspection. See that ranger"
said Mr.. Botten. We saw the range
indicated and he said: That is iden-
tically the same range as the Home
Comfort Ranges sold throughout this
section by travelling agent for S79each.
l am selling them for just SO less
than that, or 500. All the difference
is that I get them turned out by the
factory under different name. Other
wise there is no difference. l want tc
show the people these ranges can be
sold for less than $79, and have the
goods to make good" The News
has always insisted that it pays, moi
only to trade at home with a home
merchant, but that here in Latah coun
ty it pays to trade in Troy. Try it.

Troy Will Do Business.

Troy will do business in the shipping
line if the N. P. Co. will only supply
the cars. w. M. Duthie says he has
had but four wood cars in several days
although he has orders for more than
fifty cars of wood. He can't ship. He
has shipped to eastern markets two cars
Of pears and another car has been ship
ped by other parties. There will also
be a shipment Of IS cars of apples from
this point, says Mr.. Duthie. This fruit
will 90 to the middle states where the
apple crop is a total failure. The price
is excellent. And it also happens
that this particular season, with a top
notch price, the apple crop aroundTroy
is fine, the yield and quality being the
best in years. Lee Carlton, on Amer
ican Ridge, says he will have severa'
thousand boxes of No. l apples, ano
finds that the quality is first class. He

A Deserving Girl.

There is one girl in Umatilla county,
Oregon, who deserves praise for her
persistence, courage and common sense.
She passed through Pendleton the other
hay on her way to Weston normal
school, where she will finish the course
and graduate this term.
She has been cooking for a crew of
men during vacation at IS per week.
She has arisen at o'clock in the
morning and many a night did not fin
ish her work until 10 o'clock.
There we're no picture hats" no
gaudy ribbons, no peek boo waists,
no white or pink slippers for this girl.
She has saved every cent to buy clothes
and books for her school term. She
expects to work in the dormitory and
earn her living.
She is very sensible, rosy-cheeked,
courageous girl. She does not com
plain. She has worked for four months
in the kitchen and denied herself every
little luxury which so delights the heart
Of girl.
But next year she will teach schoo
and is already promised school at $50
per month. She will go on from one
good position to another, up to the
highest place, if she desires. She has
the right kind Of pluck, the right kline
Of mind and character to insure he
success.
The west is proud o. such girls
There is a place for them in ever!

Can't Sell wOrmy Apples.

You can't sell wormy apples in the
state of Idaho. And while it is work.
inc a hardship on some, the law is liked
bv the commission men with whom the
editor has talked. 1t is also liked by
the public. Deputy Inspector B. c..
Dowdy Of Moscow was in Troy a few
days ago and examined the fruit here.
AT the Duthie packing house he found
fortv boxes of apples that were too
wormy to pass and ordered them resort
ed. and defective fruit destroyed. The
order was obeyed. The result of the
law will be the raising of cleaner fruit
and the producer who fails to look after
his apples will be forced out of busi-
ness. AT Moscow Mr.. Dowdy has had
little trouble, carrying one case into
the court, where o. c. Carsow was
fined SIS for exposing for sale wormy
fruit.

Tar Plant A Success.

The Troy tar plant was operated
for one week and the stockholders are
feeling rather jubilant over the out
come of what was but an experiment.
So well pleased are the owners that
they have begun work on the weak
points that showed up, with every con
fidence that the plant will prove one of
the most profitible of investments. 1t
is estimated that with but one retort
working the plant turned over 100
gallons Of tar and creosote per day,
worth somewhere in the neighborhood
of so cents per gallon, with an expense
for wood and labor of $50 per day. At
the end of the weeks operation the
company has on hand 900 gallons of
creosote and tar and $50 sacks of CHAR
coal. If, with but one retort running,
and that in the experimental stage, so
much success has been attained, what
will the future of the business be when
any number Of retorts can be fred
night and day. A representative of
large concern that handles this produce
was in Troy this week and said his
house would undertake 10 handle the
product at about so cents per gallon,
leaving the coal to still be disposed Of.
This will make the profits look like
the dividerds OF Standard Oil, and give
an industry Of gigantic proportions.
Every share of available stock has been
subscribed and it is almost certain
that those now in will realize a hansome
profit. 1t is one Of the biggest things
ever promoted in the United States,
if it will do but half it promises from
the test slready given.

THE United States has in the last

one OF the great export nations OF the
world Notwithstanding our phenom-
inal growth in population. our capa-
city to produce both in field and fac
tory has more than kept pace with

wider markets for our goods--what
better fields for exploitation exist than

hors In Central and South America
But while It Is necessary to have the
markets in which to sell our goods
II is equally necessary 10 have the
facilities with which to transport
them. I mean by this that the volume
Of our export trade today Is seriously

HOW THE NEW ORDER ACTS

No act OF the present administra-
ton promises more complications
than the order Of the president re-
curing all land entries to be examln-
ed by a special agent of the govern
ment before proceeding to patent 1t
was made in all good faith with the
idea Of correcting some Of the abuses
that had crept into the department,
but In its practical operation It is
producing injustice to those whom
the government cares most to favor.
Under the provisions of the order
the land about which there Is and has
been the most contention, that ent-
cred under the timber and stone act,
will be allowed to proceed to patent.
without examination, while the home :
practically no complaint as the order

Ing for examination by a special

quired by law"
There are indications that there win

is calculated to do serious damage to

any other are deserving of fair treat
ment at the hands of the government

The development of the country and
Its subsequent stability depends upon

nothing short OF rank injustice to
withhold titles beyond the years al
