The trial of w. H. Curry,
charged with the murder Of E.
A. Peterson at Kippen early last
July, is now on at the district
court in Lewiston.
The government recently filed
suit in the U. S. circuit court at
Boise to set aside 81 patents to
timber land in the Clearwater
country on the grounds that the
claims were fraudulently taken
through the influence of the Ket-
tenbach- Kester-Dwyer = Robnett
party at Lewiston. These men
are named as defendants in the
suit and it is claimed they pur-
suaded people to take claims on
an agreement to purchase them
as soon as the patents were
secured and also provided the
money necessary to make proof
on the claims.

Lewiston Fair a Success.

The Lewiston-C Charleston Inter
state Fair, which came to a close
last week Saturday, was the
most successful fair ever held at
the thriving twin cities of Lewis
ton and Charleston. Every
feature of the fair surpassed the
expectations of the most san
guine. The exhibits of live stock
called for the construction of
additional sheds; likewise as to
poultry, the kennel show and
the racing stables. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the
fruit exhibits. One feature that
adds zest to the fruit exhibit is
the rivalry between Nez Perez
and Idaho Counties and Asotin
County, Washington. While the
county of Idaho had a wonderful
exhibit, yet, the verdict of the
judges was in favor of Asotin
county, for the most comprehen-
sive exhibits in fruits, vegetables
and grain. One noteworthy
feature of that county's exhibit
was the wonderful display of
products raised on one acre by
Mr.. and Mrs Lipe. This display
was a marvel, even to the resi-
dents of the valley, During the
week, the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce visited the twin cities
and the fair. Mr.. N. H.
Durham, editor-in-chief of the
Spokesman-Review, in a feature
story of the trip for his October
18th Sunday issue, said, "The
view from the elevated plateau
at any point back of Charleston or
Lewiston is worth a transconti-
mental Journey" On the same
day, delicious punches of Lewis
ton-CIarkston grapes were dis
tributed to all visitors at the
fair.

That into music swells,
When Bonner shakes his silver ring,
Or Bitten rings his bells.
But from the land of sugar plums
In silence all the way,
st. Nick will guide across the snow
His treasure-laden sleigh,
And all along the frozen road
And down the icy street
Will come the soft and padded sound
Of clumsy little feet.
For though the saint is growing old
New fads delight his soul,
And he has left his ant1ered steeds
Behind him at the pole,
Where Ger the fields of floating ice
The norther's trumpet blares,
And harnessed to his sleigh instead
A team of Teddy-bears.
