A Durham farmer was travelling to London to consult a lawyer, when the fear struck him that he had left cer- tain important papers behind. He made hurried search of his bag. 'If I did leave those papers," he remarked, t1'm a fool" Just as he was exam ming the last bundle of papers he ex- claimed, well I'll bet I am a fool" A man on the other side of the com partment lowered his newspaper for a moment and said slowly and delib- erate1y, "Oblfge me, sir, by laying a little money that same way for me-"

BOUGHT GOOD LAND.

A. C. Morris has just closed a deal
for his fine farm located in the
famous Fairview section and which
consists of 800 acres of some of the
best land on the prairie. The place
was sold to c. H. Lingenfelter, Unit
ed States district attorney for the
district of Idaho, of Boise, the price
per acre being $50. The sale was
negotiated by Sasenbery & Wilkin-
son. The place is known as one of
the best farms in the county and
has always been a good producer.
This enterprising firm also reports
the sale of the Silas Perkins farm
of 160 acres about two miles from
Winona to Ernst Poggenpohl, of Ri
paria, Wash. Land transfers are un-
usually numerous these days, people
coming from all parts of the union
to buy Camas Prairie land.

GRANGEVILLE
A DRY TOWN
Last Saloon Closed Monday
Night Occasion Fitt-
ingly Observed.

AS the term is applied to booze
and saloons and having no bearing
upon the weather, we remark;
"Grangeviile is dry"
This was not surprise, most peo-
pie realizing, ever since last August,
that such was inevitable. Still the
closing of the last saloon was an in
novation, and was observed siren
uously, appropriately and with much
feeling.
The Imperial bar closed Monday
night at II o'clock A large crowd
was present all evening and enjoy
ment was everywhere. The tunsters
were happily hilarious and did a
number of jolly stunts in the spirit
of the occasion that might look fool
ism at any other time. Still, a great
many thought that the change OF
Grangeville from a wet 20 a dry
burg had to be marked, and marked
forcibly, so joy was unconiined and
turned loose and allowed to mix

Council Passed Ordinance at

At it's meeting held at the court
passed the ordinance granting a fran
chise to the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
This matter has been up before the
council at several of its meetings
in the past and in the course of
time has been altered considerably to
conform with the councils idea of
what should be agreed upon. The
ordinance as passed grants a fran
chise to the company to operate a

agreed by the terms of the franchise
that the company shall install i'm

wear from this date. The company
also assumes the responsibility in
cases of accidents from wires, poles
excavations, or any other company
property.
The council meets again next Mon
day night when an interesting ses
sion is anticipated. The members
of the body have been real busy with
municipal affairs of late, different
propositions concerning the city's
welfare having taken a great deal

postmasters because they are against

the inspector, and later took dinner with
him.

The Growing Ships.

The naval building programme for ISL
win shortly be considered by the seere-
tary OF the Navy on his return TO Wash
ington from his transcontinental inspec-
ton tour It is not altogether a question
this year of the amount Of money which
Congress will be asked 10 appropriate in
providing for additional ships. There are
technical or military questions involved
ia the problem, such as the increase in
the displacement of battle ships and the
development in the torpedo-boat destroy
ers. 10 mention no other aspects Of the
situation. II is now 20 be determined
whether the 26,000-ton battle ship for
which provision was made at the last
session OF Congress. and for the con-
struction OF which bids are shortly to be
opened in the Navy Department. viii
suffice in the way Of displacement for
another year. There are already indica-
tons that battle ship displacement is 10
be increased, possibly 10 $1,000 tons. The
gradual development IN the size of the
battle ship has displaced the armored
cruiser which was not many years ago
regarded as an important feature OF
naval 0fenSe. The new l4-inch gun, OF
which ten are 10 be installed on each Of
the battle ships Of 1910, appears TO be
OF the acceptable caliber. although It is
Il question for the strategicaI experts 10
determine whether there shall be more
than ten such guns or heavier armor, 1t
being entirely a matter of distribution
OF weights.
No more remarkable development in
naval construction has occurred than
that which will mark the plans for the
new destroyers. The displacement Of
that type Is 10 be increased from $50 TO
1000 tons giving speed of thirty knots;
and here again is visible the absorption
OF types of naval vessels, since the COO
ton destroyer takes in the function which
has heretofore been allotted 10 the scout
cruiser Of which the navy now has
three-the Chester, Birmingham. and sa-
lem-and which are destined 10 be the
initial and tinal examples OF their class.
In these succeeding naval building
programmes. with the plans representing
changes in vital parts, there is no avoid
ing the significance Of the readiness with
which the "up-to-date" war ship becomes
hopelessly obsolete. II was not so long
ago that the 5O0-ton destroyer and the
20,00O-ton battle ship were the worthiest
expressions OF the skill OF the naval con-
structor and the naval engineer. The
advance has been not only steady. but
by veritable bounds. The efficiency of
naval attack is TO be accomplished only
by the rejection Of last years designs and
the adoption Of new chief character
lStlcs at enormous cost. when one con-
siders their fugitive fitness.
