Miss Hilda and Elof Olson, Andrew
Westberg and wife, and Mrs. Johanna
Pearson went to Occur d'Alene City
Thursday to attend the closing exer-
cises at the Swedish Lutheran college.
Nora Olso and Amy Pearson are stu
dents at the college. They will all
return Monday.
Nils Nilsson was in from Little Bear
ridge and reports all crops, except his
corn, doing fine. The cherry crop
will be bumper, and wheat and oats
promise to break the records for big
yields. ]. M. Slack, another farmer
from the same section, made similar
report,
Carl Peterson, while running of
the last issue of the Peck Sun, had the
misfortune to break his press. He
brought the two remaining forms to
Troy and got out Saturday morning on
the Troy News cylinder.
There is an increased interest among
the farmers of this section in the mat
ter of dairying. Sam Peterson, local
manager Of the creamery, reports fine
increase in the business at this point.
The farmers will do we'll to give this
industry all possible attention, as it
will win here as it has in other sections
less favored.
A number OF contractors have been
in Troy the past few days investigating
the new school house proposition. 1t
is quite probable that the slump in the
financial market will be of much value
to this school district in that we can
now build at much less expense than
at any time for several years. Both
labor and material have taken a slump,
and our $12, 900 school house will be
dandy.
Arrangements are being made for
the running of a special agricultural
train over the N. P. from Moscow into
Nez Perez county. The Agricultural
department of the State University will
get up the exhibits and the professors
will give lectures all along the line.
The first stop will be made at Troy.
Watch for future announcements.
L. c. Crow made talk to small
audience in the Troy hall Saturday
afternoon relative to the forming of a
Farmers Union, and after addressing
the farmers present he decided to post
pone the formation of union until later.
Owing to the democratic mass meeting
in Moscow the same day the audience
was not as large as it would have been.
J. w. Schloesser returned Wednes-
day from Iowa, where he went two
weeks ago Oil account of the serious
illness of his father. The old gentle
man rallied, and is now out OF danger.
Mr.. Schloesser says the farmers in
Iowa are much behind with their plant
ing, the season being backward and
the work behind. In many instances
the heavy rains washed out corn that
had been planted early and the farmers
had to reseed. Much blowing is yet
undone. All of which reminds us that
Idaho is not such bad state after all.
Here farm work in the Potlatch is right
up to the scratch, and everything, ex-
cept corn, is looking fine.
All the leading brands of -four on hand
and for sale by w. M. Duthie.
