One of these days some a is &C.
ing to get into trouble over the
violation of the pure food Law. The
Law requires that a pound Of butter
must weigh Is ounces and a two
pound roll 80 ounces. This week
the News editor visited several local
stores and saw rolls weighed that
we're a quarter of a pound short. In
some cases the rolls bore no name,
did not state the weight, and violated
the Law in every particular. Both
the butter-maker and the merchant
are liable to arrest and punishment
To comply With the Law is only
common honesty and II those violat-
ing it get caught they will need no

But few people living on the OUT
side and many living within its Dor
ders fully realize the extent of the
varied and wonderful resources OF
our own Nex Perez county. It IS
doubtful If there could BE- found an
other country any where that sur
passes Nee Perce county in the mann
Der of its different resources, all of
wh are still in their infancy, with
perhaps one exception, that Of Plac-
er mining. Quartz mining is still
one of the profitable resources and
will no doubt be much better in the
future than in the past. Enough
gold has been taken out of the placer
mines within its present boundaries,
if distributed equally among its in
habitants, to give every man. woman
and child several times as much
money as they would have If given
their proportionate share of the
money of the United States We
have timber enough to supply the
entire state of Idaho for the next
fifty years, water power sufficient to
develope enough electricity to run
every railroad, every manufacturing
establishment, and light every home
within its borders. The -four made
from her wheat would supply the en-
tire state of Idaho. Our barley
would make more beer than they can
drink in the entire state of Washing
ton. Our timothy and oats bring
the highest prices on the coast mar
kess. Our hogs and cattle arc an
important factor in supplying the
cities of our sister states and the
mines of Alaska With meats. TIE
many varieties of fruits are shipped
to almost all parts of the United
States. The difference in the alti-
tude of the different parts of the
county is an important and necessary
condition to give the country all
these advantages. You can cat a
meal at any Nee Perez county hotel
and find the bread made Of -four
manufactured from Nee Perez county
wheat, meats of many varieties rails
ed and fattened on the products of
this same county, fish, the finest IN
the land, caught in the streams with
in our borders, butter made by our
own diaries, fruits of almost every
kind raised at home, and after din
ner la over you can drink wines that
have no superior and will guarantee
to convince you that the products of
Neg Perez county are equal 10 those
produced ia any country.

The Greer Rochdale Company
met at the Harbke school house last
Thursday night 10 perfect their or
ganization and to elect officers for
the ensuing year. The meeting vas
attended by about thirty OF the
prominent farmers of the Russell
section and much interest and en-
thusiasm was manifested in the move
ment. The success of the company
now seems an assured fact and it is
evident that they will prove an impor-
tant factor in handling the grain and
c controlling the prices on Nezperce
prairie this coming season. They
are certainly TO be congratulated
upon the board views they have
taken in this organization in not al
lowing any personal matters to enter
into it that might in any way be a
barrier to its success in the future.
II promises to be run on q better
business principle than such organic
ations are frequently conducted
The organization is not confined en-
tirely to the farming class but they
can and are willing to admit business
men into the company whom they
know to be in sympathy with the
movement. They fully realize that
an entire community working IN
harmony can accomplish more than
just a few Of them II is to be
hoped that more of the farmers in
the different sections will become
actively interested in this movement
and give their encouragement to what
promises to bring the relief so long
needed to the Nezperce farmer-a
price for his grain that will make
farming a profitable business

TAKES HUBBY.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 16. Back
OF the marriage of Miss Adah Pratt
l437 Irving street, Washington, TO B.
Franklin Hoover of Philadelphia last
Saturday is story of unusual ro-
nance and interest.
Miss Pratt lived until she was 20
years old without forming the ac-
quaintance of a man. She was born
and raised in a community of women
taught to believe that marriage was
a sin. She was bound by teaching
and belief to remain single Then she
married the first man to whom she
was introduced. More than that, she
did more than half the courting her
self.
Nearly thirty years ago. in Texas,
where Mrs. Hoover's mother lived AZ
that time, Mrs. Martha McWhirter of
Waco announced that she had had a
visitation from the almighty, and had
been told it was sinful for a woman
to live with man. Accordingly she
left her husband, and, gathering
about her small party Of women
who were brought to her belief, she
went to the little town of Bolton and
established headquarters of the new
creed.
Mother Joined Colony.
Mrs. Pratt was one of the converts

"and almost whatever they wanted
they were sure to get if force could
obtain it. At the time Of
which l. speak they were on

sumo you would term it such, and
while SO engaged they took fancy
to calf which we owned. Without
the formality Of asking for the animal,
much less offering to buy it, they took
it with them to their headquarters.
Naturally we resented this mode
of high handedness and Mr.. Beall went
into Nauvoo for the calf. He, how
ever, returned without it as Smith
told him that the Lord had revealed
to him that he was to have the calf,
so he took it in compliance with a
revelation of the Lord, of which he
had several"
Six Children Born; All Living.
Six children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Beall, all of whom are still living
