The conditions on Nezperce prairie
we're never better and the future
prospects brighserthan at the present
time. There is no better proof of
this than the fact that there is more
improvements being planned by the
farmers and a less amount of land
being offered for sale and what
is being offered for sale is generally
held at an advanced price. The
actual value of land on Nezperce
prairie has never been better shown
than at this time. The crops have
proven to be more certain and better
than in other sections of the north
west and the prices better than usual.
The farmers are now busy harvest
ing crop that is fully up to the
if not surprising it. while
in other sections the crop has been
more or less damaged by drought
and warm weather. Neither has
this section ever Witnessed a failure
nor what could be termed a partial
failure of crops since it was opened
for settlement. A ranch on Nez-
perez prairie is enc of the best and
safest investments that can be made
and those who now own them are
to realize this fact as well
Is anyone.

Those who have experienced the
successes and failures Of life, who
have noticed the rise and fall of
others, men who have grown wise
and became authorities from obser-
walton, will tell you that there is no
place like the farm for the young
man. There be can live the ideal
life and become more independent
than those of any other profession or
business. True, the farmer labors
early and late, but think of the
fruits of his labor. His stock in
trade are the necessaries of life and
if he be a good farmer and manager
he will have plenty of those pro-
ducts which the people must bave.
While he sleeps his crops are grow
ing and there is evidence of increase
on every hand. Many farmers
sons pine for city life; they want to
learn trade. But with such life
come the exacting and ironclad rules
of the employer and the employee
must "deliver the goods" if he
he would hold his position. His
time is money to his boss and the
more he can accomplish the more
pleased is the employer. But how
different on the farm. Longer hours,
ID yes but a much healthier life

Intellect, but builds the man. Work

THURSDAY. AUGUST 90. 1908

The past two months have witness
ed three shooting scrapes in Idaho
county over some small personal
differences between the individuals,
two of which proved fatal within a
few hours after the shooting occur
red. One of the murderers is also
in a serious condition and will be
crippled for life, should be be freed
by the law. The third offense is
less important only on account of
the wounds being less serious. One
of the murderers was turned loose at
the preliminary examination and it
is understood that another is to plea
self defense. The second murder
seems to have been committed with
out scarcely any provocation and as
a result that county now mourns the
loss of good, highly respected and
valuable citizen. Whether or not
any or all the shootings we're entire
ly or even partially justifable they
stand as blot upon the good name
of Idaho county the same as such
things do on any community where
deeds of this sort occur. But how
can such things be prevented Two
of the scrapes occurred over a dis
puted account and the third one can
perhaps be partly attributed to drink
although it seems that the murder
had been planned, or at least threats
had been made some time prior to its
execution. But whatever the causes
may be it is serious question to
devise some means Of protecting
human lives from those who seem to
have but little regard for the life Of
fellow man. A very stringent Law
rigidly enforced against carrying
concealed weapons by anyone except
an officer when serving in the dis
charge of his duty, would to some
extent help in this matter. A great
of the murderers are
committed on the spur of the moment
and if the participants could have
had time to consider the matter a
short time many or most of them
would not be committed.

 Whisky and About SIPS
 In Money.
LIQUOR SOLD NEAR THEAT IRE

In search after violators of the pro- hibition law last night, Police Officer Street discovered what was apparently a veritable thieves den.
 It has been suspected for some time that John Barleycorn had representatives who practiced nightly among the crowd around the Bijou theatre, and last night shortly before the close of the perform ance Officer Street went to the theatre and had been there. only a few minutes when he saw white man give VIII Price, a negro, 80 cents, with which to buy a quart of whisky. Officer Street had man follow Price, who went to a house on Second avenue between Four teenth and Fifteenth streets after the whisky He was then followed back to the theatre where he gave the whisky to Will Hodges, a porter at the theatre. Hodges took the whisky. went into the toilet room and there delivered 1t to the white man unwttingly in Officer Street s presence. Price and Hodges were imme- diately placed under arrest on charges of violating the prohibition law.
 When the two negroes had been placed in the city jail Officer Street went to search the house from which the whisky had been secured. It was the home of Georgia Johnston, a negro woman, who runs a restaurant in the vicinity of Eff teenth street.
 Upon searching the rooms, upholstery, silverware, fine laces and other goods, which represent aggregately between $500 and $500 value, were found. A further search revealed three sacks of small change amounting to about $l25, which were found hidden between the bed cloth ing in one of the rooms. Among the papers about the house were orders TOT whisky which ran as high as sSo. About a wagon load Of empty bottles and two or three gallons of whisky were also found. The negro woman was arrested and placed in the city jail on charges of concealing stolen property and violating the prohioi- ton law.
