Manv Sales of Land Near Town

REAL ESTATE VERY ACTIVE
Record Prices and Buyers
Mostly Home Men

According to the local paper things
have been lively over in and around
Cottonwood of late in the real estate
line In speaking of the recont activ-
ity at that point the paper says:
"Real estate has been coming to the
front pretty rapidly lately on this side
of the prairie as is evidenced by the
following deals:
VIM. I. Long purchased the r. j.
Curry farm Of 320 acres northwest of
Greencreek last week for $3.50 an
acre.
r. S. Curless last week sold his
farm over near Denver to Geo. K.
Reed Of Grangeville, for $40 an acre
and then purchased the G. G. Wyatt
farm adjoining his place north Of town
at the same figure. Besides loosing
two crops on his Denver farm from
hail storms during the four years he
has had it Mr.. Curless played even on
the land as to interest the taxes and
then realized an advance Of Stops an
acre on the price of the land during
the time he has owned it.
George Harman, who recently sold
his fine 320 acre farm south of town
to Federal Attorney c. H. Lingen-
fielder, of Boise for $4,000, has since
completed deal for the purchase Of
the Dehetre farm of 100 acres near
Ferdinand, and yesterday turned this
property to his brother at an advance
on the price paid. He also purchased
yesterday the Overman farm of 100
acres Just north of town. This deal
was made through Mr.. Wagner, Of
the Camas Prairie Land Co., who has
made several sales in the short time
he has been here.
Victor Lustig closed deal here
Monday for the purchase of the Jacob
Hecker farm adjoining his place north
east Of town, the price being S42 an
acre. The place lacks considerable Of

Elliott Fine

The entertainment given by Edward
Elliott at the |. o. O. F. hall Monday
neght was among the best of that or
der ever seen in Grangeville and not
one of the audience present had a
single complaint to make. Mr.. Ell
lott took the play ''The Man Of the
Hour, and acted it out almost as well
as company Of players. The next
and last number will be talk by
Adam Bede, the great Minnesota
congressman, who will be with us on
February II. If you have not at
tended any of the other numbers do
not fail to hear this man. No matter
how tight you are or what excuse you
have trumped up in the past this will

"a is 8. times the width, II feet,
times the length, 81 feet, gives 2976
cubic feet in the sack.
No. 3---Take the width, ~ feet.
from the over, "a feet, leaves II feet:
divide by 2, equals 6. Multiply 6
by the width II. by the length 81,
gives 2232 cubic feet.
1t will be seen there is considerable
difference in the results of applying
these different rules, and it is matter
of business on the part of anyone in
terested in the hay business to find
out which is correct.
Now rule, to be dependable, must
be a rule that will stand proving, and
further, must be a rule that will meas
ure any size of stack, any number Of
cords of wood, or any other measure
ments it may be used for. A favorite
standard of measurement, for proving
these rules, is a cord of wood, 8 feet
long, 4 feet high, feet wide. Any
one of these three rules will measure
one cord of wood correctly. For in
stance by Rule No. L.. add the width,
4 feet, to the over II feet, is 16 feet.
Divide by 4, is 4 feet, times the width
4 feet, times the length, 8 feet, is 1913
feet, which is correct.
But if you take two cords of wood,
side by side. and try this rule you will
get the following result: Add the
width 8 feet, to the over, 16 feet, is
"a feet. Divide by 4, is6 feet. 6
times 6 is 36, times the length, feet,
is 28S cubic feet. Now we know that
there are only 256 cubic feet in two
cords and this shows Rule No. l is
not dependable.
Take Rule No. 2 for cord of wood.
we have the following:
Take one-third of the over, II feet,
give us 4 feet. Multiply by the
length, 8 feet, by the width, 4 feet,
give us 1913 cubic feet. But if we
take two cords of wood. side by side,
we get this: The over is 16 feet; take
one-third of 16 gives us 5 1-3. Multi
ply by the length, 8 feet, by the
width, 8 feet, gives us 341 cubic feet
for two cords of wood. Now, as the
result should be 256 cubic feet, Rule
No. 2 is proved undependable.

Successful Hunt

VIM. Myers and Clyde Moses re-
turned last week from hunting trip
of two months in the country seventy
five miles north of Elk City, near the
Montana line. They report game
very plentiful in that section and as a
result of their hunt killed four deer,
one being a twenty-five point buck.
Also two elks and one mountain goat.
Mountain goats are very scarce and
we understand a nice figure was re-
ceived by the boys for the goat.
We understand twenty-five point
buck holds the record in Idaho.

Favor of Johnson

The Lewiston land office Tuesday
rendered a decision favorable to
Johnston in the contest case entitled
Reyillo Johnston VS.. Peter Carney.
The property involved consists OF
about 20 acres and is located on the
Snake river short distance above the
mouth of the Salmon river. The con-
test was waged on the grounds that
the land was mineral and had been
previously occupied by the Blue Jacket
Mining company. The company has
expended large sums in the develop
.ment of the properties which are con-
sidered among the most promising on
the upper river. /.

And you'll get tired out.
But the moving pictures are Jeffer-

the whole thing is free from frills,
fads and fussiness. You always get
your moneys worth, and there is no
haunting regrets as to your having

Up to less than hundred years
