than any which the writer has ever seen.
 The roof, with its alternate Sows o' ! white and red concrete shingles If we may call them such presents most attractive appearance. In short. the entire building is a thing of beauty and a model of convenience.
 The firm is now preparing to erect two more dwellings of concrete for two other members of the firm and with the experience which they have gained in constructing this first resi- dence, we may look for even more beautiful and ornamental effects. These two homes will occupy ground near the present one of Wm. Penrose. all three, in fact. standing on the same street on the high ground about a ou arter of a mile east of the depot.
 
 MT. Penrose is prepared to furnish all kinds of concrete building materia so that we may look for many new buildings at this place to be made Of this material. He manufactures the blocks for walls. flues, etc.; shingles for roofing and gabling; columns, pi- lasters. walks, etc.
 Penroses& Sons have 1900 acres of land up and down the Cotton Belt railroad large part of which they are offering for sale to actual homeseek- CTS, in quantities to suit the purchas- CT. ranging usually from 20 acres to loO, and on such terms of payment as render it possible for men of small means to own farm.
 The policy of these gentleman con templates the settling of none but white people in Hunter and the ad- jacent territory, and this plan is being carried into effect. All who buy here may be certain that they will live in a first-class community composed en- tirely of white people, thus insuring good schools, good churches, and con genial society This plan is better for the people of both races, affording to both better social, educational and re- ligious privileges.
 At present MT. Oris Penrose is de- voting himself to the work of bringing in from the older states small parties of people who want homes and farms and intend to become actual settlers. That he is meeting with success in his efforts is shown by the goodly number of people who have recently come to this part of the world to live. Ken lucky leads in the number of people thus furnished, and they are from the best families of this grand, old com Illinois has also furnish ed a number cf her sons and daugh- ters. It may be said of all these new corners that they are more than pleas ed with their new home. They are delighted.
 In addition to Penrose & Sons. there is c. H. Poston, who is also engaged in the real estate business. He has just completed a neat, sub stantial frame dwelling on the east side of the railroad.
 CHURCHES.
The Brinkley argus., 1907-11-29

Strickler's crop this year was worth more than fifty dollars per acre.
 So we'll satisfied is he with this, his first years crop. that he expects to increase his acreage next year. and is already planning towards that end. He estimates that SIS .OO per acre is most liberal allowance for the cost of production, so that he has clear profit per acre this year of at least S35OO.
 He lives 3 miles southwest of Hunt CT. and has well-improved farm of l6O acres.
The Brinkley argus., 1907-11-29
CHURCHES.

The man who is looking for a per manent home, whether he be church member or not, always desires to settle in a community with sufficient churches to warrant it's being moral place. Happily this is true of Fun- ter. Two church organizations Methodist Episcopal. South, and the Baptist minister to the spiritual and moral welfare of f'the people.
 The Methodist have good church edifice, and the Baptists are planning to build one very soon.
 Both organizations carry on Sun day-schools.
 RICE FARMING.
The Brinkley argus., 1907-11-29

Another lllinoisan who has lived in Arkansas for 20 years is F. M Ward. who lives about mile southwest of Hunter. He has made some experi- ments in wheat raising here, with very satisfactory results. This was 4 or 5 years ago; but at that time the facili- ties for threshing the grain were so poor as to deter him from raising more. He had to go to McCrory. a journey of several piles to procure a thresher. and this Was an extremely poor affair known as a "Ground-hog thresher, and in a regular grain growing district would be laughed out of the field. so slow. so wasteful and so diminutive.
 However, with rice threshers in this country-Mr. Strickler now having one-it is possible to thresh wheat in an up-to date way. and there is no reason why it should not now be pro- duced abundantly enough in this region to supply at least the local de- mand, which is large.
 If the farmers about Hunter will raise this important product, they may rest assured that a well-equippsd flour-mill will be built here to accomo- date them.
 Mr. Ward has raised as high as 60 bushels of corn per acre, on this prairie land, and he considers that with proper cultivation an average of 40 bushels can be maintained.
 Other prominent citizens in and about Hunter who deserve mention as contributing their share to the up building of the community are: Messrs. Thos. H. Patterson. farmer and stock-raisers; Milton Pancake. farmer; and Mr. Fletcher. manufac-a turer.
 The town is incorporated. and Its present officers are: L. s. Cosney. Mayor; Tom Penrose. Recorder. and John Crawford, Marshal,

Hard Winter on Cattle.

Cattle on the upper Salmon
river and between that stream
and the Snake river are said to
be dying rapidly for lack of feed
and by rolling down the steep
canyon sides. Very few of the
cattle men have feed enough to
keep thier cattle up and the
stock on the range cannot get
through the deep snow to the
grass beneath. Because of the
cold weather the cattle gather in
punches on the hillsides to get
away from the wind and slip on
the icy ground and roll to the
bottoms of the canyons. Should
the snow lay on the ground
much longer the loss to the cat
tlemen in that country will be
very heavy. The cattle down on
Salmon river west of this place
are also said to be getting pretty
thin from shortage of feed and
considerable loss is expected as
the cattle will be so weak when
spring opens that they will hard
ly be able to stand the muddy
condition of the range until dry
weather appears.

Killed While COssting.

The Spokane Chronicle gives
the following account of the
death of the little daughter of
Robert Jones, the we'll known
Idaho county stockman:
"As a result of a coasting ac-
cident, little Esther Jones, aged
nine years, died at 3 O'Clock this
morning at the home of her
father, corner of Sixth avenue
and Hilliard street. The acci-
dent occurred late Wednesday
afternoon when she was coasting
down Hilliard street in company
with another little girl. The
unfortunate girl was kneeling on
the back Of her sled when it
struck a fence at the corner of
Hilliard and Sixth streets and
she was thrown against the
fence in such a manner that her
face struck against a post. She
was unconscious for a short time
but soon recovered and it was
thought she was not seriously
hurt, though her face was badly
disfgured. DR.. Callahan was
called and the child seemed to be
doing nicely till last evening,
when she was taken suddenly
worse and she became uncon-
scious. The mother of the child
died a few years ago and last
fall the father had his two chill
dren sent to Spokane in order
that they might have the advant-

A band of 5000 sheep belonging

E. McBroom this week sold the
Grangeville Free Press to Lloyd
Wisener, of Upton, Iowa. The
new owner is a we'll known news
paper man and will continue the

Mr.. McBroom will go to Port

Antonio Francis, an Italian
railroad laborer, was injured by
the explosion of a stick of thaw-
ing dynamite at the top of the
hill above Culdesac Saturday
morning and died later of his
injuries. He was running a
dump car and was just opposite
the powder when it exploded.
His leg was badly schattered and
he sustained other injuries.

A fine one was caught Thursday.
Deputy Game Warden Harbaugh,
who was here a few days ago,
states that the license blanks
would be late in arriving this

prosecuted for fishing until they
arrived. Then those who fish
are expected to take out license
to avoid prosecution. Peck Sun.
Nels Shermer, a we'll known
resident of the Winchester Sec
ton, committed suicide Sunday
morning by drinking carbolic
acid. He arose about 6 o'clock
and took a drink of the acid and
went back to bed but his means
from the effects of the poison
aroused his wife who did every
thing possible to save his life but
in vain. Shermer was a hard
working man and no cause is
known for his act except des-
pondency. He leaves wife and
two young children.

the people and not give the re-
lief promised.
While the senate so far is
solid and no dissension is shown,
a quiet movement is on looking
to combination in that body
similar to that in the house.
Only five republicans are needed
to join the six democrats which
could control legislation in the
senate.
The sand bag methods employ
ed are very distasteful to a
number of the republican
senators and it is known that two
and possibly three are in SYM
pathy with the house movement
which is designed to enact legis-
lation of a most beneficial char
acter to the entire state. A few
more days and little more ap-
plication of arbitrary rough shod
methods may see a complete
change in the situation with a
double combine working smooth
ly.
Chairman Brady arrived from
Pocatello today on hurry up
call and his appearance was inn
mediately resented by the mem
bers of the "unholy alliance with
the enemy, " and several declared
they would not permit any man
to dictate what legislation they
would support and what they
should defeat.
Many stories are afoot regard
ing the conditions of agreement
entered into, its scope and its
limitations, but it is generally ac-
cepted that the republicans have
promised to support democratic
and anti-Mormon measures. The
anti-combiners have been busy
all day circulating a paper which
declares the signers are willing
to enter a caucus, discuss party
measures and abide by the
decision Of the majority. They
have twenty signed, a majority
of one of the house members,
and have been trying to persuade
the others to sign up, promising
a square deal, but the insurgents
are not to be trapped by such a
proposition.
1t was to prevent being tied
hand and foot by machine caucus
methods that they joined the
democratic minority. Interest
ing developments are promised
in the next few days.

Big Row In
The legislature
Republicans and Democrats Conn
bine Against the MormOns who
Threaten to Kill all Bills In
trOduced by the Combine.
A Boise dispatch dated Jan. 80

A Boise dispatch dated Jan. 80
says:
All efforts to restore peace and
harmony in republican ranks
have so far failed and at this
time it seems as if the breach
had widened appreciably, if not
beyond bridging. It is claimed
tonight that the republican party
to the combine has signed up in
writing with the democrats to
control certain legislation, but
this is denied in some quarters.
At least one republican mem
Der of the combine said this af-
ternoon that the organization
was perfected and that the al
lance would certainly last
through the balance of the ses-
sion and there seems much foun-
dation for his declaration. The
Mormon members and their al
lies are wild. They have gone
to the leaders and demanded that
they force their recalcitrant
friends back into line and these
have labored' strenuously with
the boilers, but to no avail.
Governor Gooding is accused
by the Mormon members of en-
gineering the combination and he
has been notified that unless he
gets in and brings the strays
back into the fold his pet meas
uresD will be slaughtered. The
governor has talked to some as
to the advisability of breaking
up the combination, but as the
members are firm and as the
measures the alliance is support
ing are especially recommended
by the governor, he has not in
sisted very strenuously on a
breaking up. The sand bag has
been welded vigorously, but the
only effect is to put the two fac
tions wide apart. Caucuses and
meetings were held tonight of
both house and senate and the
insurgents were notified that un-
less they broke away and came
back into line every measure on
which the combination acts will
be killed by the senate, but the
club hits both coming and goiug.
The house can retaliate, and as
most of the measures of impor-
tance originated in the house,
the senate is placed in position
of sand bagging the state, and
refusing to enact much needed
and absolutely necessary laws.
The ultimatum apparently has
not shaken the insurgents. They
openly declare the holdup clubs
used by the leaders of the Nor
mon faction and the threats Of
individuals to prevent the pass
age of their bills, have driven
them to combine in self defense.
1t is asserted that the. measures
on which the agreement has
been made are those pledged to
, the people and that the bills pre-
sented by the other faction to
carry into effect the party pledg-
es are frauds; that while SEEM
ingly fair and to cover the
ground, in reality they are weak,
faulty and in most cases wholly
inadequate, in fact, simply bum
co propositions intended to fool

ankles fractured.
The electric light plant at
Culdesac is shut down for want

the pipe line which supplies
water to the town.
The home of Alvin Moon was
destroyed by fire near St. An
thony late last week and the q
year old girl cremated in the fire.
The little girl and baby had been
left in the house with an older
girl while the parents were doing
some chores. The girl ran out
and told them the house was on
fire and Mr.. Moon at once rushed
in and rescued the baby, which
was badly burned. He then
went back in search of the little
girl but could not find her and
was forced to leave the house
and fell unconscious after getting
outside. He was severely burn
ed by the flames and had his
hair and all his clothing burned
off. The parents are prostrated
over their loss.
