Village Council.

The council met in regular session
Tuesday evening and transacted some
very important business. S. MacIn-
tHe, representing the Washington
Rubber Co, of Spokane, was present
and explained in detail the working Of
a chemical engine handled by his firm.
The council finally ordered double
cylinder, 70-gallon capacity engine of
the best type to cost $3.50 {. o. b.
Troy. OF this amount the fire com
pany is to pay $500. The engine
with a representative will arrive in
thirty days If satisfactory, after a
practical test, the council will purchase.
The chemical engine ordered carries a
pressure of $50 pounds and the equal
Of any chemical engine on the market.
Ninety per cent Of all fires can be
handled with a chemical engine, so
that Troy will have some protection.
George R. Anger, representing the
Crane Co. OF Spokane was also present
and discussed the matter of putting il

Troy is yet without water system,
and one of the obstacles is the claim
that it will cost too much to operate
anything except gravity system after
it is put in. Why not buy the light
plant and operate both? The same

water system. The News believes
such a plan would be both practicable
and profitable and offers a solution to
the much vexed question of fire pro-
lection.

Railroad Cussedness.

Did you ever stand on depot plat
form and watch train crew handle
freight, or perhaps trunks from bag
gage carp Possibly your own trunk
was among the luggage and you were
waiting to get it. And as you watch
it is tumbled out, and if the baggage
crew imagine you are Watching will
see how hard they can throw it to the
platform below. Possibly your trunk
contains something besides cast iron
or steel and you know that your pro-
perty will not stand such rough usage.
This fact makes no difference. to the
railroad men, who seem possessed with
determination to see how, much dam
age they can do. Freight is handled
even more recklessly, it being a com
mon thing to see crew switch one
loaded car into another with a terrific
force and apparently no care as to re-
suits. Household goods are broken
and damaged, freight OF all kinds bump
ed and bruised, and even brick, in car
load lots, slammed around pntil half
the car is broken. This week gen
tleman shipped lot of melons to Troy
from Clarkston. They were creighted
and with reasonable care should have
been delivered to the consignee in
good order. Were they? When they
reached Troy the crew tumbled one
crate off with as much care as would
be necessary had the crate con'aned
bailed hay. The melons were ruined.
The owner can, of course, put in his
bill, and the company w;ll-someday
-perhaps-pay the damage sustained
through the unadulterated cussedness
of the train crew. But the train crew
is not alone to be censured. The
railroad companies all know just how
their employees handle property ell
trusted to their care and in the face
of perfect string OF protests do moth
ing to stop the cause. The railroad
managers are running their roads toi
the profit there is in it. A little care
would require little more time, and
with them time means additional divi-
dends. So the public, whose property
the railroad and express companies
accept and undertake to haul can look
pleasant and submit. If you suffer
loss you may put in claim and ther
wait months while the railroad officials
investigate the case and cut down you
bill.
Is it not time to give the railroads
to understand that they nj st treat th'
public with some consideration? Is i
not time to demand fair treatment from
those who undertake TO transport pro
perty of private citizens7 And if th'
railroads insist on handling freight ant
. baggage in their reckless manner l
there not some way 70 compel them II

Shortsighted Policy.

1t is admitted that a good town IL
creases the value OF every acre of lard
tributary to that town. And since
this is true it must follow that it is mon
ey in the pocket OF the farmer to assist
in building up his home town. 1t is
of interest to the farmer to know that
his town has the largest possible stocks
of merchandise. 1t is money in the
pockets of the farmer to live near a
town where the merchants and dealers
are wide awake, progressive and hust-Y
srs. The farmer wants the best goods
possible for his money and the highest
prices obtainable for all that he has to
sell. And to great extent he must
depend on his home merchants. And
then the farmers, all Of them, are in
terested in the stability of their home
merchants. It is a rare thing if occa-
sionally credit is not needed, and occa-
sionally must be had And when such
t mes come it is to the home merchant
to whom you must look for credit.
TIE mail order houses that will accept
your cash don't know the man in need
of little accommodation in the way
of credit. To grant credit the mer-
lant ust have available resources
and standing. He may have to carry
the farmer through a season till an
other harvest. He must take chances
on his pay because he sometimes
trusts a man who fails to pay. So it is
easy to see that there is a close rela-
ton between the farmers Of every COM
munity and the merchants OF their
home town. Each is interested in the
other. Each must work for the inter-
est of the other, if each is to get the
best he is entitled to. If this is true
WHERE does it profit any man to send
his money away from his home com
munity2 How does it pay, even if a
few cents less can be saved occasion
ally, to deal with Chicago catalogue
house and assist in building up a gi-
gantic establishment in another COM
munity in another state? 1t may pro-
fit you little temporarily but in the
long run it will be locs:ng PROPOSE
ton. 1t will pay best in the end to
spend every dollar at home where
whatever profit there is will remain at
at home with some hope that it may
return to your pocket in pay for some
thing you may have to sell. Chicago
may become the largest city in the
world and it will add nothing to the
value of farm lands in Latah county
/ but it will be inn ossible to increase
the population and business interests
of Troy without increasing the value

DEATH STOPS TRIAL.
Court Proceedings in Notorious Thaw
Case Postponed Because Of De-
mise Of Wife of a Juror.

Another tragic chapter in the his
tory Of the Thaw-White episode was
written in New York Thursday, when
grim death stepped in to halt the ia
nous trial in its fourth week. The
wife OF Juror No. II, Mrs. Joseph B.
Bolton, passed away Thursday after
noon soon after her husband reached
her bedside. He had been summoned
from the court room, where the trial
had been in progress for less than
fifteen minutes.
The formal announcement of Mrs.
Bottoms death was made in court
shortly after 2 p. m, the hour set
for the afternoon session, and JUS
tice Fitzgerald Immediately ordered
an adjournment of the case until Mon
DAY morning. The court also ordered,
with the consent of counsel, that the
other eleven jurors be given their
liberty and no longer held together.
He admonished the jurors to be guild
ed by their honor and their oaths
and not to read the newspapers or
discuss. the '1'haw case with any
body.
The death of Juror Bottoms wife
cast a gloom over the criminal court
bMlling and had 4 particularly de.
pressing effect on every one connect.
ed witt! the trial. Thaw seemed to
feel the matter quite keenly when he
was brought into court to hear the
formal announcement Of the order for
the postponement of his hearing.
The fact that the Thaw jurors have
been kept in close confinement since
they were selected for trial service
and that Mr.. Bolton had been allowed
to visit his home only three times
during his wife's fatal illness, lent
pathetic aspect 10 the case, and
the greatest sympathy for the Attic
ted man was expressed on all sides.

South Carolina Has Several Days OF
Total Prohibition.
The South Carolina house Of rep
resentatives, Saturday, by a vote OF
IS to %, adopted the report OF the
conference committee, which for sc
hours had been working on defects
in the local option bill. The report
also was adopted by the senate by
y vote of 25 to 10, and the act was
signed by Governor Anseli at once,
the state dispensary thus passing
out Of existence with Saturday. (.
Governor Ansel, late Sunday night,
issued a proclamation instructing all
dispensaries to close their doors Mon-
day and remain closed until the
county boards are appointed and take
charge of the dispensaries.
This means that the disDensaries
will not open their doors at all again
until the counties have taken charge.
It is likely that the state will have
complete prohibition for several days.
