TIE arrest a few days since Of several

that there are large number of idlels

thing for livelihood, but who dress

g;y or thirsty. This class of loafers is
the vicious class and they invariably

Swedes Are Good Citizens.

We note that the Lewiston
country is about to become the
home of a large colony of Swedes.
Like O'Donnell, of the Kooskia
Mountaineer, we don't know
how they are going to find any
place that needs colonizing
around Lewiston. The Swedes
are great colonizers. In the
timber country back behind
Wollmer" they have demonstrat-
ed this fact. They open up a
country that an American would
pass up as hopeless. The Skan-
dinavian settlers of the Bear
Creek country are the bone and
sinew of that region. They have
been instrumental in making Troy
the best town of it's size in the
northwest. Peck Sun.

potatoes turning dark after being

Butter may be kept solid in

that is covered with a plate and
set in a pan of cold water. Then
fold a towel and lay across the
plate with the corners hanging
down into the water, and put the
pan in a cool, if possible, drafty

keep the butter firm.

This is why his marriage was
a failure: He did all the courting
before marriage. He never

He never dreamed that a wife

he would not have dared to treat
another woman. From June

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Ilo ball team was defeated
at Kamiah Sunday by score Of
10 to 6.
The Ilo ball team will play
here tomorrow and a fast game
is expected.
The Greencreek boys nine
played a similar team at the
Jenny home north Of town Sun
day afternoon, the former team
being defeated by two scores.
The local ball team will leave
Sunday for Kamiah where they
will play that afternoon. On
Monday they will play at Nez-
perce and on Tuesday at Ilo,
returning home that evening.
The Grangeville ball team de
feated the local nine here last
Friday by a score of 5 too. How
it ever happened is a mystery
and Grangeville people are as
much puzzled over the result of
the game as are our own citizens.
The next game between the
two teams will no doubt result
differently.
The Grangeville ball team
came near to being defeated Sun
day at White Bird. Bonner, the
new pitcher, was batted out of
the box early in the game and
another pitcher had to take his
place. After the change White
Bird failed to score and Grange
vile succeeded in getting enough
runs to win the game. The score
stood 6 to 5 at the end of the
game.

Riley Dixon, a brother of
Henry Dixon, has been here
from Cottonwood, visiting rela-
tives and friends.
All the old-timers remember
! Riley, who from IA until '82
was a driver Of one of the six
horse stage coaches on the Walla
Walla-Lewiston route. Some
times he was on the round trip
run between Walla Walla and
Dayton, at other times he would
go through to Lewiston, arriving
at Pomeroy at noon every other
day, but always during those
eight years, winter and summer,
Riley was on the box somewhere
along this division, excepting
Sundays.
He was accounted one Of the
company's most accomplished
and valuable drivers and in the
art of handling the ribbons he
had no equal or rival except
Felix Warren, now of Lewiston.
Riley drove first under the
management of Fettis, and con-
tinued his work after the line
was taken over by Louis McMor-
ris of Walla Walla.
During his 8 years on the road
he covered a daily milage of 60
miles, or Is, miles a year.
$50, 250 miles for the period of 8
years, or a distance greater than
six times around the world.
During all of his time on these
roads, which were then little
better than Indian tails, Riley
passed over the wash-outs and
bitches caused by the spring
freshets and across the frozen,
barren, or snow covered hills of
winter, guiding his long string
of spirited horses safely over all
obstacles and never permitting
them to get beyond control.
One accident did occur, in which
the coech was upset at the top
of the hill north Of Marengo, but
the horses were kept under con-
troll and but little damage was
done.
Mrs. Dunniway, the woman
suffragist, was a passenger that
day and was slightly injured.
At another time Riley met
with a disagreeable experience.
His coach was held up and rob-
bed at the mouth Of Alpowa.
The rohber took the express box,
but did not disturb the passen-
gers. 1t happened that the box
was empty. The day before it
contained $1,000. The express
box was found in the brush near
the scene Of the holdup, where
the thief had left it after break
in the top with a rock. Not long
ago, Riley saw this old box in
the office of the express company
at Boise. He also recently saw
his last stage coach which is
stored away in Louis McMorris'
barn in Walla Walla. -Pomeroy
