MANY People Inspecting Bales
Jones Holdings
OTHER LANDS WITHDRAWN
VOllmer RanCherS Holding for
Higher Prices

Every day sees land seekers and in
vestors arriving in Grangeville to Wis
it the land being offered by the Bales
Jones Co. at their sale which will oc-
cur the twentieth of June. This com
pany is oHereriny over 5000 acres of
the choicest farm lands west of the
Rockies and the sale promises to mark
a substantial advance in the prices Of
Camas Prairie lands.
Inspection of the holdings of the
company is being made daily by men
from distance and when the sale is
thoroughly advertised it looks as
though there would be plenty of bid
ders on hand
No doubt the land will bring fancy
prices due to the excellent quality
coupled with the sudden rise in val
ues.
The following dispatch from Voll-
mer is indicative OF the feeling on
both Camas and Nez Perce Prairies:
THE sudden rise in farm land val
ues in the Palouse country through
the auctioning of several thousand
acres in Whitman county, has resulted
in practically all farms in the vicinity
of Vollmer listed for sale being with
drawn from the market until after the
big Bales-Jones auction June 20, when
their realty holdings near Grvngeville
will be disposed of to the highest bid
der. Values have risen from $50 and
$40 per acre to $50 and $50 an acre
in the last year, and many farmers
are anticipating 500 land to result
from thetBales-J ones auction"
Auctioneer Ralph, who will have
charge of the sale, has secured as his
assistant w. f. Yohnka of Ritzville,
Wash, who is known as one of the
best real estate auctioneers in the

Early Morning Blaze

Fire broke out early Saturday NOR
ming in the blacksmith shop of S. A.
Pagan and by the time the alarm was
turned in the blaze had made such
headway that the fire company was
unable to do more than keep it within
the confines of the building. The
cause of the fire is unknown but un-
doubtedly the fire had been burning
in the interior Of the building some
time before discovery as the structure
was one mass of fame when discover
ed.
The fire company was quick to re-
spond to the alarm and in short
time had two streams of water playing
on the fame
The loss which must be six or seven
hundred dollars, is not covered by in
surance, the building being located
away from other structures and the
danger from fire very limited, Pagan
carried no insurance.
John Phillips had an express wagon
in the shop for repairs at the time
and will lose hundred dollars or So

Fem Merchant Leaves Very
MySteriously
HIS ACCOUNTS SEEM 0. k,
investigation of Books Show
No Shortage

A case of more than usual interest
is that Of the disappearance of +. b.
Tharp, merchant and postmaster in
the new town Of Fem, who left that
place several weeks ago and has not
since been heard of. The last heard
of the man was a message received
from Lewiston by his wife. This
message was very brief and merely
stated: 81 don't know where I'm 60
ing but I'm on the way"
The Frustrated wife can give no
cause for his queer act and as far as
can be learned there were no domestic
troubles and from an investigation Of
his business matters, made since his
departure, there are no irregularities.
In order to straighten out the tangle
his wife has made voluntary assign
ment to James ID. Menkle of the Spo-
kane Merchants Association and Glen
Hanna of this city has been put in
temporary charge Of the store as well
as acting post master until another
appointment can be made.
The indebtedness amounts to close
to $4,000 and the heavy creditors are
the Idaho Mercantile Co., of Lewiston
the Spokane Dry Goods Co., Spokane
Wn.; E. T. Root of Grangeville and
the Bank Of Camas Prairie of Grange
vile. There are also number O.
small creditors with bills that amount
to close to $500.
The post Office authorities have not
inspected the books but it is very
doubtful if there is any defalcatior
there.
Mr.. Tharp has been doing quite {
business in the town and was number
ed among its progressive citizens. Ii
fact some months ago when the posta
authorities found it necessary to re
name the place because Of conflict il
names as an honor to Mr.. Tharp th'
government granted the peoples de
sire and named the town Tharp, il
honor of it's leading merchant.

Bennoy Convicted

Sheriff Byron and Deputy Brown
were called to Moscow last week to
appear as witness in the case of the
L. S. VS. John Bennoy of Sites, who
was charged with introducing intoxi-
eating liquors on the reservation.
John was caught with the goods
last fall, being on his way from
Grangeville to Sites with large
supply of the wet merchandise. In
some way the local officers were ap-
prised of the matter and arrested him
when he crossed the reservation line.
He was found guilty in the federal
court and will receive sentence this
week.

Record Price for Beef

Perhaps the highest price ever paid
for beef on the hoof was received by
the Bales-Jones Co., last week when
$50 head of cattle were shipped from
the Big Hole Basin ranch of that
company to Seattle where they were
re-shipped to Alaska.
The $50 head averaged 1900
pounds each and the price paid was
seven and half cents on the range,
which means each critter brought
$120. But eighteen animals could be
shipped in car while the usual num-
ber is Is to 26.

ROBERT G. POHL. Candidate for County Clerk

Robert G. Pohl, named as Il
candidate for county clerk, has
conducted business office on
strictly business principles. Every
person who does business with that
important Office has entertained a
distinct feeling of gratitude and
appreciation that he did not run
1T as a political office. He will
succeed himself in fovember."
Such was the tribute paid to Bob
Pohl by Hon. Hugh H. Brown at the
republican rally held in this city
Pm the evening of June %. The
Same sentiments atc also expressed
by the many lawyers of Tonopah,
irrespective of politics, for the in
cumbency of the present county
clerk has been business one, and
none can say that daring the last
two years he has ever attempted to
do politics through the office, al
though numerous opportunities have
arose.
There is no doubt that Bob Pohl
will succeed himself at the coming
election, and his majority will UNI
doubtedly be larger than that OF
the last election. The returns of
the different camps at that time
demonstrated the fact that he has
friends in Nye county, and it can
be truly said that he has not lost

ELI<O MAN THINKS
HE Is A LIVE WIRE

Sheriff l.. G. Clark of Elko coun-
ty came to Reno yesterday morning
having in custody w. H. Tate, a
gambler, well known in Goldfield,
Tonopah, and many other parts of
the state, who will be placed in the
insane asylum.
Tate is suffering from peculiar
delusion by which he imagines that
he is an electric current capable of
doing great harm or performing mi
raculous feats of strength
Tate has been for years physical
culture crank, indulging in cold
baths, road work and various exer-
cises. He has read volumes of lit
erature on the subject and it is
believed that too much concentra-
ton of mind on these subjects has
unbalanced him.-Reno Journal.

flee, which at that time was stu
ated in the Lathrop-Davis store.
The postal accommodations were
not of the best, but there was new
er a kick or complaint registered
against the assistant postmaster.
For five years he occupied that po-
sition, and served when letters and
papers came here by the ton. About
eighteen or twenty hours consti-
tuted days work and on numer-
Gus occasions he was hauled out of
bed at an early hour by some per-
son who was desireus> of sending
out money order to a friend or
relative in the OUTSIDE world. Prob
ably the sender had just come into
possession of the money, or often
it was a business transaction. With
no thought of his own inconvel-
fence Mr.. Pohl was always &C
commodating and courteous, and
by this he made friends, who today
are his warmest admirers. 1t made
no difference whether the party de-
string favor was a. miner, mil
lionaire, teamster, business man,
there was no distinction and all
looked alike.

having been born and raised in the
once premier camp OF Austin. His
date of arrival in this state is
given as March 16, 1878. His par
ents are also old timers in Nevada

to Austin when the population there
was numbered up in the thousands.
In 1901, when the entire west
was startled by the discovery of
Tonopah Bob Pohl joined in the

trio made for the sixty miles has

The endorsement of the Goldfield
Consolidated by the New York
stock exchange in listing that stock
as the only gold security on it's
board, in no wise increases our re-
gard or confidence in the great

doubtless fix its place in the esti-
nation OF the great stock investing
public of the east who regard with
reverence anything that bears the
stamp of the boards approval
The listing Of the stock of the
Consolidated will doubtless greatly
enhance the price of the security
on the market. Heretofore it has
been handled in New York exclu-
sively on the curb, and has been
subject to the blanket-tossing of
