What Good Shoeing Will Do.

While mentioning other good things
Grangeville has, it is well to re-
member that we have as expert
horse-shoerS in this town as the coun-
try affords. DIR, ]. ID. Shinnick, of
Cottonwood, has very fine grey sad
die horse of which he is Justly proud,
but which has been incapacitated for
duty for a number of months on ac-
count of being severely affected with
tendonitis, or contraction of the heels,
and all applied remedies have failed
to relieve the trouble. DIR. Cogeins
brought the horse over to Grangeville
to Oliver & Gardner, the horse shoers,
for treatment. They studied the case
and decided that the trouble could be
relieved by proper shoeing alone.
What is known as the Menthus square
toed bar was put on the two front
feet, and today the horse is travelling
with ease and comfort, both to him
self and rider, and will be returned to
DIR. Shinnick in few days ready for
service. The secret of the whole
matter is in knowing what should be
done and just how to do it.

Elk City is coming TO the front as

Divorce Harvest Ripening.

An electrical storm visited this So C.

a. m., startling peal of thunder
awoke the town, followed shortly af-

having sounded the alarm. Citizens
focked from all directions and the fire
apparatus was soon in action, with
the result that two of the walls of the
building with the floor and portion
of the goods stored were saved from
total destruction. Eight tons of salt
had just been put in the building. Of
fifty cans of coal oil, sitting in the
middle of the floor, only two were
burned, but the handles were melted
off of most of the others. Mr..
Schmadeka placed the loss at several
thousand dollars. No insurance was
carried.

J. c. Hall Believes His Section
Has Great Future.
ONLY NEEDS RAILROAD
The Sheep Industry Superceding
Cattle Raising.

An immense territory, rich in min
eral, livestock, agricultural and hor-
ticultural products, will be made trib-
utary to Lewiston by the construction
OF the Oregon Short Line from Hunt
ington to Lewiston and the road down
the Salmon river" said c. ]. Hall,
the we'll known Idaho county stock
man, last evening. Mr.. Hall is a
visitor in the city from Lucille.
MIR. Hall owns one of the large river
bars consisting of 240 acres and To-
Gated on the Snake river a few miles
above Pittsburg landing and has al
ready taken steps to increase its value
by the installation of an irrigation sys-
tenn. A portion of the water neces-
sary for this improvement is carried
for distance of six miles and the
work has progressed sufficiently so
that LOO dNiCc SdiI OC SCCuCu I'D dIIdl-
ia this year The entire area will be
devoted to the cultivation of fruits
and English walnuts as soon as the
rail transportation is provided. The
development being perfected by MIR.
Hall is but an example of the possibili-
ties along the entire stretch of river
between Lewiston and Huntington
with the exception of short distance
where the river is confined between
abrupt canyon walls. The protection
from extreme cold weather and the
early seasons will make possible the
growing of the most delicate fruits
with the assurance of full crops each
year and these available to market con-
siderably earlier than any other dis
trict of the entire northwest.
Mr.. Hall reports the engineers en-
ployed by the Pittsburg & Gilmore
railroad to be camped near White
Bird and to be engaged in locating the
line from point near White Bird
down the Salmon river. He states it
is reported at White Bird that rival
engineers are working in the same
territory and race for prior location
through the lower river canyon is
now on.
MIR. Hall is visiting the outside at
this time for the purpose of buying
breeding sheep and will visit points in
eastern Oregon and Washington. He
states the livestock industry in the
Salmon and upper Snake river sections
is rapidly being changed from cattle
to sheep and at the present time about
40, 900 sheep are owned by stockmen
who few years ago were devoting
their entire attention to cattle. The
change is due to the abrupt character
of the ranges which results in heavy
losses each year to cattle by rolling
and large sections of the range too
steep for cattle, will now be pastured
with the sheep.
AT the present time that region is
difficult of access but with a road down
either the Salmon or Snake, no point
would be more convenient to the
Lewiston market. Lewiston Trib-

Able Writer Sums up Results of
His Investigations.

Rex Osborne, the able editor-cor-
r,soondent who has taken the pains
to.inyestigate for the Boise Statesman
the sentiment in the state of Idaho on
the saloon question, has given ex-
pression to his findings in the follow
ing language. He says:
IF elections could be held this fall
in Idaho under the local option law
more than two-thirds of the counties
would join the prohibition column.
That is an unprejudiced forecast based
on data received from all parts of the
state. Some of this information |
cleaned by personal visits, but most
Of It came through confidential cor
respondence. 1t is supplemented by
special dispatches received yesterday
from Statesman correspondents in all
parts Of the state giving the latest re-
ports on the situation and in most
cases expressing an opinion as to the
probable outcome of an election. All
the statements agree, in effect; and
Just in proportion as local option cleo

Horses may not maintain the pres

that the youngest amongst us will

It is a fact that all mechanical

demand for horses on the same
principle that laborsaving ma
chine in a factory increases labor
because it requires an army of men

Farm TIPS for Alert Farmers

A good place to use the new fan

on your farm than you need. You
will be surprised at the result.
Such a lot of foul stuff comes out

nice.
Seed for grass ahead of the drill

want. Your seed will {. great deal
