That Many Sold Last Week to
Idaho County Farmers.
FIVE NOW ON cAMAS PRAIRIE
Jacob Eckert, John Chase, w
A. Hanson Order Machines

The coming harvest season will be
watched with great interest by the
ranchers of Camas Prairie on account
of the fact that no less than half a
dozen combined harvesters of various
sizes will be in use here and undergo
a thorough test. Last year the big
live stock and ranching firm of Bales
" Jones introduced two combines to
Camas Prairie territory, and from
their personal experience they claim
that crops can be harvested with a
combine in this section at an expense
of one dollar per acre, including a
reasonable allowance for the use OF
horses aud board of men. Under for
mer methods of harvesting the cost Of
getting in crop ranged from $3.50 to
$500 per acre, amp with this immense
saving in cost of handling combine,
even though an expensive piece of
machinery, should pay for itself in a
short time.
The Bales-Jo ones Company will oper-
ate the two combines they brought in
last year, and every item of expense
will be carefully noted; the working
capacity of the machines under various
conditions will also be noted, the act
ual cost of running them per day and
per acre, and in different kinds Of
grain, and the results, in statistical
form, will be at the service of the pub
lie when the harvest is over.
I. w. Bales, in company with w.
A. Hume, of Holt Manufacturing Co.,
visited number of ranchers last week
and as result Jacob |. Eckert and
| John |. Chase will operate two COM
bines of the eighteen-foot type, and W.
G.. Hanson will run a twelve-foot
machiue. The eighteen-foot machines
will be equipped with 26-horse schan
doney Hitches, and Mr.. Hanson will
use is horses on his machine.

So, 900 Worth Of Business
Property Changed Hands
$4,000 FOR BUILDINGS
Will Build In Connection With
Bank And Wilkes Building.

Eight thousand dollars worth Of
business property changed hands this
week and as a result $50, 900 will be
spent in putting up brick business
block in addition to the $95, 900
worth of bricks now contracted for and
under construction. Grangeville is
certainly in need Of them to accommodate
the business houses of the city.
The first deal was made Saturday
when VIM. Allen purchased of Evan
Evans twenty-five feet next to the
Wilkes lot for $4,000 and today a
deal has been closed with Mr.. Evans
whereby he disposes of the ground
upon which the Bertch Hardware is
now located to James Kilen Henry
Telcher and Elias Kilen for $4,000.
Both of the deals were made through
the John Wilkes Agency.
All of the new purchasers will
build modern bricks at once as will
also Mr.. Graham. We understand
they will build in connection with the
Grangeville Savings and Trust Co.,
and John Wilkes. This means mod
ern brick block of two stories with
125 foot street frontage, steam heated
and up-to-date which will cost close to
100000. Who said Grangeville was
not awakening?

A Sad Case.

Every once in a while in commun-
ity Of plenty will be found case Of
destitution, and Grangeville is not
without such case. A family living
in the north end of the city has been
discovered and for several weeks friends
and neighbors having been contribut-
ing to keep this family from suffering.
This is case of a woman and seven
children, the oldest being but seven
teen years. Some time ago divorce
was given the lady from her husband
who it was claimed failed to support
the family. A division of the proper
ty was agreed upon at that time, the
woman being given about $1,000
worth of real property with an $500
mortgage on the same and some cash.
1t seems there is some difference in in
terpreting the exact meaning Of the
settlement, the husband being given
all the personal property and until
November to remove the same
1t is claimsl that the growing crop
is personal property by some but not
by others. AT any rate the husband
has possession of the place and the
family has been unable to reap any
benift from it.
The matter was taken before the
board this week by l.. G. Chadwick
and DR.. Rains and the board was asked
to give temporary aid to the suffering
family. This being special session
the board could not take up the mat
ter but the law allowing justice Of
the peace to extend aid until the
board of commissioner'can act on it
was invoked and an allowance Of SAC
for the time from now until the regu-
lar meeting in July was made by JUS
tice Chadwick. Also her attorney
stated to the board he would see that
the man turned over the place to the
woman and he also maintained that
the growing crop was personal proper
ty and belonged to her. Providing
she can get possession of the place al
this time small income from the rem
tai of pasturage on the same will helI
some toward relieving the situation
At the present time however, this is {
very pitiable case.

The Goff Bridge.

The matter of building of the Golf
bridge is meeting with the hearty ap-
proval Of people all over the county
when the conditions are made known
to them and there is no reason why
the comfy commissioners should not
give and give literally to this enter
prise. The law says not over $1,000
can be appropriated to the building of
a bridge but there is way around the
law and more money has been paid
for single bridge construction before.
At the special session just closed it
was decided to hold a special session
next Wednesday when the state en-
gineer will be here and we hope also
plenty Of boosters from the Salmon
river section. The state has appropi-
ated $4,000 for its construction and
there is no reason why the county
shouldn't loosen up and give the tax.

taken in if circus should pull in but
he stated to local parties he did not

THE DOWNWARD COURSE ENCOUNTERED A CHECK
There Are Indications of a Belief That the Worst Is Passed.

New York, Feb. 24.-A check came today to the disorderly liquidation which was demoralizing the stock market. The perception that the course of yesterday, if continued, would lead to that result, prompted some measure of support. Large short interests were prompted to re- duce their short lines with the signs of greater stability in the market. This demand was a potent influence in the recovery of prices. The buy ing demand, however. was languid. The undertone of the market there fore was firm, although lacking az gressive strength. A better feeling over the steel trade outlook was the outgrowth of confidence that the price concession of steel products were pre- liminary to revival in trade The last prices were higher than yester- day to the extent of five points for Reading, three for Steel and some minor steel industrials, and from two to three points a share for the most prominent railroad stocks. Bonds were irregular.

THE MAKING 0F \ NINE

Work continues unabated on the properties of the Arizona-Bouse Cop per Company at Bouse. Since our last announcement the force of men at work has been increased and Fair banks Morse gasoline hoist has been purchasd and is now installed on the Little Butte shaft. This shaft is being sunk rapidly and drifting continues in both directions. The full face of the drifts and the bottom of the shaft are in ore so that no waste rock need be handled The ore is being piled up on the dump and as 1t averages 10 to 1S per cent copper, and $S to S10 gold. it will yield a handsome return to the company in a short time. The cars already shipped have netted over s70O, after paying the freight and smelter charges.
 HOW TO GET INTO COPPER.
 The time to make money in copper is between organization and dividends. Before dividends are declared the price of stock is invariably below par after dividends, usually much above par. The man who has a million to invest can afford to buy mine after it has become a dividend payer and often waits until then. The man of moderate means can not afford to buy at the tOp-notch price. He CAN af- ford to buy stock at the organization price. His enterprise, his judgment and his faith count for as much as his subscription.
 For few days the price of the Ari- zona-Bouse Copper Company stock re- mains at Is cents. It will be to your advantage to secure the benefit of the pre-organization price as the stock will certainly advance rapidly.
