PROSPERITY OF The UNION.

The world is what you make, is
what the great poet said and how
true it is that our lives, our homes
and our unions are Just what we make
them.
The Farmers Union cannot revOlu
tionize everything in a day, make men
out of towards nor make truth out of
falsehoods. A local may not be kept
up but the Farmers Union will live
forever.
We all realize more fully each day
that what we sow so shall we reap.
Ours. is something more than bust.
ness proposition and am glad to
note that wherever the principles of
the Farmers Union are carried out
the old credit system is gradually
weakening 1t Is impossible for q
good union and the credit system to
live ais one will eventually conquer the
other They won't mix any more than
will water and tar
Al union farmer must be believer
in freedom, business and education; !;
he must put himself in a condition to
meet the unfavorable conditions when
he is confronted with torpid market.
Wherever there is a Farmers I'm
ion local, fully alive to it's privileges,
educational interests are also alive in
that community
Wherever the beacon lights Of edu-
cation are held up by a community the
light Of Christianity is also held up
with effulgence and power. There
fore these two great questions are be
ing studied by the southern farmer
to bring back these happy days. OF
old plantation times, which perfect
happiness could not be duplicated on
the face of the globe. I for one, be
lieve that the day Is not far distant
when this dear little territory, we
call Dixie viii be the home of all
the cotton factories, and diversified
farming will be practiced by her happy
people.
Then we will fully realize the won
derful resources Of the new south.

you are getting your moneys worth.
You see there are lots of people, mer-
chants, agents. ETC., that have the idea
that the farmer is an easy sort of a
fellow, and can be handed anything
and that all you have to do is to tell
him it is alright and that will settle
the purchase Now, we beg of you
to show him different and Investigate
a. little before you take anything that
people try to turn over to you as an
enormous bargain.

Found Charcoal in Well.

Nelson Macarthur, a prosperous
farmer residing few miles north of
town, has been digging a well on his
ranch lately and last week when down
in the earth at depth of about 135
feet deposit of charcoal and petrihed
wood was discovered. The find was
brought to the surface for inspection.
A match was applied to the charcoal
and it burned as all genuine charcoal
does. In addition to the petrihed
wood. and charcoal an abundant
flow of water was found which is
much more pleasing to Mr.. Macarthur
than the uncovering of the charcoal
and petri6ed wood. The well was
dug by Mr.. Macarthur with we'll
digging machine which he and some
neighbors purchased some time ago.

SOME GOOD MINES.
Mining Man Tells of Properties in Two
Well Known Districts.

R. N. McGregor arrived in the
city Friday from the Ramey Ridge
mining district He was on his way
to Spokane on business trip and left
Monday morning for that city. Mr..
McGregor is interested in the Apex
and Bell properties and in speaking of
these and the camp in general he said !:
About the only news of the Ramey
RIDGE district that haSn't been given out
heretofore is contained in the an
nouncement of the strike recently
made on the Apex, which is under
bond to |. H. Friar. They are taking
out ore on this property that assays
from 500 to $500 per ton. The
higher assays were made from ore
from vein of 8 to 10 inches in width.
They have about feet of ore in the
face of the drift.
On the Pueblo, well known prop
erty of the district, the tunnel is in
about AIS feet at a depth of 270 feet.
They are working in some mighty
good ore. On some of the higher
ridges and peaks there is probably 6

feet of snow in our district. A short
time ago a rich strike on the H-Y
group in the Roosevelt country was
reported. 1t is said to be one of the
best finds ever made in that section.
On account of the bad weather, things
have been rather quiet in a mining
way in our locality this spring but it is
the general opinion-and prospects
back up this opinion-that a very prof
table season is to be our portion this
summer"

Three Popular Grangeville Young Ladies
Finish Work at Moscow.

The graduating exercises which
have just closed at the state university
were of the usual high order and were
enjoyed by large number of alumni
and friends of this popular institution.
A class of twenty six were graduated;
the colleges of letters and science
being equally represented. Of par
ticular interest to the Grangeville and
Idaho county people is the graduation
with high honor of three of our most
popular young ladies'.
Miss Sadie A. Stockton, of this city,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. G. S.
Stockton, was the only graduate to
receive degree of Bachelorof Music
in this year class. She was a social
leader and one of the most popular
young ladies in college. She is a
musician of extraordinary ability and
aptness. Miss Stockton is anticipating
another year at the Varsity for the
purpose of securing the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. Miss Mable Sweet,
daughter of Hon. E. S. Sweet, reg
ent of the university, secured this
year the degree Of Bachelor of Arts.
On account of her winning ways she
was one of the most charming and
best liked girls of the college town.
She has not decided on her work for
next year. Miss Martha Sempert,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Sempert,
also was graduated at our state institu-
ton with the degree of Bachelor of
Science. She was one of the most
untiring, energetic students of her
whole course. She is a graduate of
the Lewiston State Normal, class of
1903, while the two former girls are
graduates of Grangeville high school,
1903, and Miss Stockton also is a
graduate of Spokane high school, class
of 1904.
Undergraduate students from this
section at the Varsity last year were
Ed Sempert, Claude Woodward,
Frank Wood, Olive Coram, Maude
Coram, iona Schultz.

not delay the construction of the

Under a Horse Four Hours.

Jesse Kelley, SON of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Kelley. met with serious acct
dent last week which came near prov
ing fatal. While coming home from
Stacyville on horseback his horse
stumbled and fell. catching the rider
underneath. and the horse being un-
able to get up the young man was
held there until found, after four
hours. When he was discovered he
was unconscious and remained so for
about "a hours. His condition was
considered as critical by the physician
but now improved so much as to be
considered out of danger. Usage

Conducting business by the check
system is the only uptodate method
any way and one good result of the
panic will be to bring into more
general use this way of doing bust
ness. If all grocery, hardware and
machinery bills are settled by check.
and these filed away when they are
received from the bank, there will
never be any trouble about having to
pay the same bill twice. Many "a
man trying to collect a bill has to
swallow his words when he has had a
check presented to him with his own
endorsement. Iowa Homestead.

Alone with the Dead.

With not an hour-nor a moment
to prepare for death. with his wife
sitting near and reading aloud from a
book she held in her hand, the spirit
of d. M. Carlisle passed from earth at
about the midnight hour of Tuesday.
Not warning of any kind did he
give. not word of parting to the
wife who sat near him. But his life
went out as quickly as though bolt
Of lightning from the skies had des-
cended upon him. The wife had been
reading for some time when she
noticed that he slept, as indicated by
the breathing. Presently he partially
awoke, gasped, and all was over. The
night was intensely dark. and it was
raining hard. Alone with her dead,
several miles from the main shore on
one of the Mississippi islands. at a
point about five miles north of Lans-
ing, the poor wife sat and waited for
daylight, that she might give warn
ing of the sad event of the night. -
