Grangeville.- The building of the
Northern Pacific railroad into the
Camas Prairie section has created a
heavy demand for farm land in the
section served by the new road, and
the homeseekers are prepared to pay
good prices for the land of their
choice. Sales have been reported
where wild land has brought as high
as $55 per acre, and the records ar
the courthouse show the heaviest
marketing of lands in the history OF
the county.

railroad agents are authority for the

Miss Maxine Elliott at the Academy
of Music Next Week.

There is no more popular woman star than
Miss Maxine Elliott and her annual appear
ances in Baltimore are attended by the most
fashionable people of the city. She will be
seen at the Academy Of Music next Monday
evening and all of next week in new play
written expressly for her by Miss Rachel
Crothers. author of that successful play, 1.-The
Three of U.s. This new play is called
"Myself-Bettina, and as the title suggests,
it has to do with the affairs of young woman
named Bettina. This is the role that Miss
Elliott will impersonate. Bettina has been
left money by her father which enables her to
go abroad and study music. 1t is upon her
return to her former home, after an absence
of four years. that the play treats, and it is
among her relatives and friends, whom she
has not seen during her absence, that the
plot figures. Thoroughly up-to date, familiar
with life and its dangers, Bettina has proved
a woman fully competent to take good care OF
herself under any conditions. She has a half
sister who figures largely in the story and it is
when this sisters future seems jeopardized,
that Bettina shows true womanly spirit and
magnanimous heart. The scenes are laid in a
small New England hamlet. The personages
of the play are educated people but with
many of the narrow minded views associated
with the customs of small towns. There is
notnlng IN tne new play Ol country ille as ue
picted in many plays of New England. 1t is
might be located in any part of the country.
The human interest in ''Myself-Bettina" is
said to be strong with more than one dram
attic situation to make strong appeal. The
comedy introduced is legitimate and many a
laugh may be expected Miss Elliott will
wear several handsome gowns as the situations
permit of her doing so. She will be sup.
ported by an excellent company and good
cast has always marked her productions.

Uncle Remus's Magazine For March

The genial personality of Joel Chandler
Harris is in evidence on every page of Uncle
Remus's Magazine for February, which is
incidentally perhaps the best balanced and
most interesting number of that publication
yet issued.
Uncle Remus himself is represented by
three characteristic pieces of work-the ac-
count by Mr.. Billy Sanders of his visit to the
White House to dine with the president,
which is in reality statement of Mr. Harris S
own impressions of the personal side of
Theodore Roosevelt gained in his recent visit,
au editorial essay, Concerning Books and
Critics." and an Uncle Remus rhyme telling
of the adventure of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox
and the Pimmerly Plum.
The fiction of the number is by VIII n.
Harden, George Hyde Preston and Ludwig
Lewisohn. Mr.. Harden contributes "An
Old Meddler," delightfully."- quaint story of
Georgia life. Mr.. Preston is represented by
The Girl in the Moving Picture" rattling
good tale of love and adventure in as modern
setting as could be imagined Mr.. Lewis.

ment of Colonel John c. Reeds "reminiscences

vividly present the spirit of the stormy days

avowedly purposes in them to Justify the ex-
istence of the Klan-if there now be any need
of justifcation-he does not burden his mar
rative with his purposes.

President Roosevelt is said to be much
disturbed over the decision of the United
States Supreme Court knocking out the
most important provision of, the Erdman
act, which prohibited interstate railroads
from dismissing employees because of their
membership in labor organizations. Com
ing on the heels of the decision declaring
the employers liability law to be uncon-
stitutional, together with other recent ju-
dicial mandates interpreted as decidedly
hostile to organized labor, the Erdman law
defeat has raised grave apprehension on the
part of the Republican leaders regarding
its effect on the labor vote at the coming
Presidential election. The other day Judge
Dayton, of West Virginia, one of Presi-
dent Roosevelts appointces, issued an in
junction against labor leaders of that State
so sweeping in character as to attract the
unfavorable attention of the White House
and the Senate. The President and his
friends realize that these unfavorable de-
cisions, taken with the fact that the panic
has resulted in the reduction of forces in
mills, factories and in other industries, are
bound to have bad effect on the labor
vote.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
Cooperation Prime Essential to
Progress in This Work.

In communities where little has been ac-
complished in the way of civic improvement
it has been proved that general apathy rather
than unwilingness has been the chief cause.
There is no question to what may be done
by determined and jealous co operation. In-
stances could be cited of communities pulling
solidly on one end of the rope where news of
the rapid transformation reads almost like a
page from the ''Arabian Nights" Collect
lively any community is a power for good
"United we stand; divided we fall, or fail
lis all of truth and none OF doubt.
Many claim that where there are many in
terests in common it is difficult to effect active
co operation, but it would appear on the face
of things that the more interests a community
has in common the closer should be the union.
If there be great diversity of interests and
many claims to first in order of improve
ment, an organization is needed so that these
matters may be put to a vote and then those
tasks first tackled which majority decide
are of highest Importance. Vastly more can
be accomplished if all pull together than if
some pull contrariwlse or not at all, and it is
quite possible. if all lend helping hand. the
whole desired list may be cleared up. 1t is
little short of phenomenal to mark the work
accomplished in some of our lesser cities by
enthusiastic collective effort.
But, to return to the first consideration,
whenever a general rundown tone is noted u
widespread and almost criminal apathy will
be found, and all that Is needed is for the
people TO be aroused to sense of their duties,
responsibilities and the possibilities of i'm
provement. Individual energy is often mani
fest in these sIumbering places. Why may
it not be put in collective effort? 1t will
usually be found, after free and frank dis.
cusson, that community has few conflicting
interests. and these may generally be salts
tactorily adjusted with justice to all and there
fore harshly to none.
After a fair trial of an improvement as
sociaton no community will long he without
one, even though the first organization should
founder. The rocAs which wrecked the first
voyage may be avoided in the next, and the
experience OF discussing the public's needs
and general good is highly educative and, once
INDUCED in, leaves ii strong taste for more.
These discussions often bring to light leader,
heretofore obscure, who not only brings his
own community out of the Wilderness but
becomes public servant of great value and
esteem.

PARCEL POST.
No Detriment To The Business Of
The Country Merchant.

Many congressman who have recently re-
turned to Washington, interested in parcel
post on rural routes, bring the news that
farmers have not had this matter clearly ex
planned to them. The parcel post on rural
routes as advocated by Postmaster General
Meyer, whose proposition is ndorsed by the
best business interests OF the country, Is en-
tirey different from general parcel post.
The reason is there is no rehandling and no
hauling by the railroads from one point to
another. In fact, it is a special local propo
sition to carry parcels originating on route,
or at the distributing postoffice. A special
rate can be made on these packages which
could never be applied to parcels under the
general parcel post proposition.
Some people claim the parcel post will be
detrimental to the country merchant and ad-
vantageous to the mail order house. Nothing
could possibly be farther from the truth. As
a matter of fact, sane and rational parcel
post under the direct supervision of the gov
ernment and confined entirely to the rural
routes will be decided advantage to the
country merchant and retail dealer. 1t will
make it possible to reach the constituents
within the route in a very advantageous man
ner. On the other hand, the mail order
house or institution outside of the rural route
will have no opportunity of competition un-
less they pay the regular rate of postage for
such packages distributed outside the general
route.
Farmers never had better opportunity
than at present of getting squarely behind the
parcel post proposition. 1t is for their bene-
fit and every man interested in it should write
to his congressman. Let him know definitely
where you stand. Tell him that you and your
neighbors expect him to stand by the parcel
post reforms, as advocated by the postmaster
general.

New Animals and Trainers at the
Zoo,

The new animals and trainers will be seen
for the first time next week in an unusual
speciality billed as "Noah's Ark" The di
versifed group requires the services of three
trainers, and is said to be replete with sensa.
tionalism and comedy. The latest arrival of
lions will make their first appearance in a new
exhibition. The Bengal tiger has displayed
the flag OF truce and will be entrusted to make
its farewell appearance in its jockey act. The
Royal Hungarian Band will be heard in Sc
lections from the merry Widow" Sig.
Anton will be the soloist. The arcade on the
second floor proves to be an interesting addi-
ton, and it is probable that vaudeville show
will be installed, with a balcony overlooking
the animal arena. Oscar Dane is rehearsing
spectacular scenic production entitled 1.-The
Christian Martyrs Sacrifice, or In the Days
of Nero" which enlists the services of seven
actors and actresses ten lions, six bears,
leopards, camel and tiger, electricians, scenic
artist and orchestra. 1t will be put on at the
Zoo for an indefinite run, and no doubt will
be a potent lenten attraction. The cham
pionship races on Monday nights pack the
rink. Every one attending the morning ses
sions is given free checks for skates. Free
presents are presented to the ladies and chill
dren every Saturday afternoon. A Mardi
Gras Carnival on skates takes place Feb. LIST.
The Zoo is doing a remarkably big business,
with ladies and children very much in evi.
dence voting contest is on for names for
the three young lions. Bonita, the baby
leopard, now fittingly inhabits pretty gilded
