John Wilks the Lucky Man.

One evening last week John Wilks
kicked what he considered a SELF
pocketbook across the floor at Neigh
bors' cigar store, and because the fell
lows laughed at him, picked it up
and put it in his pocket. When he
came to examine the dilapidated re-
poSitory he was amazed to find money
of Uncle SANS brands and papers
galore bearing the unintelligable char
acters of the celestial land of pigtails
and Boxers. In the meantime the
owner, who was a transient, was
chasing up and down the street in
qulring for a polkybook, hab belly
vallyblee papees; no carree flor
monee.' When the finder and loser
met, the Chinaman insisted on pony
ing up the $40. 80 in cash which was
in the pocketbook, and when John
refused to take it he laid IS bill on
his are and went off happy in the re-
covery of his belly vallyblee papees. "

Diversified Farming Pays.

Ben Baker brought in to knorr &
Zumwalt last week SO head of hogs
which had never been fed a kernel OF
threshed grain, and received therefor
approximately 5000. The hogs simply
cleaned from the stubble field what
would otherwise have gone to waste,
and grew fat and sleek and salable.
Last spring the Globe mentioned the
fact that Ben Baker will have to re-
plant his field of beans, it having been
discovered that the seed planted con-
tanned a small worm which destroyed
the germ as soon as it sprouted. ="
The field was replanted, though late,
and he has reaped the reward OF
diligence in yield of 5000 worth OF
marketable beans and has bean
huller'' on the way from the factory,
possibly the first one in Idaho county,
with which to prepare them for sale.
He also sowed 40 pounds of Canadian
peas, from which he harvested I, OOO

Cottonwood Saloon Man Arrested.

The first arrest under the Local
Option Law was made last Thursday,
when R. A. Minis of Cottonwood, was
taken into custody by the officers for
selling and disposing of intoxicating
liquors without license
Under the law, the license issued
10 Minis expired at midnight of the
23rd, being terminated by operation
of law. 1t is the intention of the
officers, expressed at the time of is
suing the warrant, that arrests will
continue TO be made until the law Vi
olators get enough. If Minis con-
tfnues to run he will again be taken
into custody. There should be no
let up in the enforcement of this law,
as it sands on a different footing from
other laws on the statute books, being
made effective by a direct vote of the
people at an election called for that
particular purpose.
This is an indictable misdemeanor
and the defendant will be given pre-
Eminary hearing and eventually tried
in the District court.
Minis, through Attorney Melon
aid of Lewiston, has taken steps &c
enjoin the county attorney from clos
ing his place of business and the case
was argued Monday before Judge
Steele at Moscow.

never failed in raising a good corn
crop, and this year is no exception,
although the yield is little lighter
than usual. These items of profit
are simply auxiliary to the regular
grain crops of wheat, barley, and
oats, and are mentioned for the pur-
pose of calling attention to the fact
that diversified farming is profitable
even in this land of large and productive
grain fields and vast herds.
