There are ~ school districts in Idaho
county. The larger towns have good grad
ed schools All denominations are repres-
ented, and many good churches are in evil
dence all over the county.
The climate is very healthy, the. death
rate being the lowest on record in proper
ton to population, according to official re-
ports.
The year 1910 was disastrous for crops in
many sections. Camas Prairie crops this
year are excellent Winter wheat is thresh-
ing 30 to 80 bushels per acre; winter barley
rs bushels per acre; other crops are good.
The proof of Camas Prairie is the fact that
it has been successfully tarmed for fifty
years without irrigation and without a crop
failure. The dry year of ] $40 demonstrates
what Camas Prairie can do in the dryest
year ever known. Camas Prairie is SUR
rounded by rim of mountains which at
tracts heavier rainfall than any other To-
cality. Why not invest your money in
farm where crop failures are unknown?
loads of cattle. horses, hogs and wool which
are annually shipped from here. The town
maintains three banks, with deposits Of one
million dollars, three newspapers many
stores, 3-story brick hotel, six churches,
each with its Sunday school and resident
pastor; magnificent public, graded school
system running nine months of the year;
sewer system, gravity water system; electric
light and power plant city government,
with many miles of sidewalk; ample timber
for firewood in the near foothills; an i'm
mense tributary mining and stock raising
country. Only nine other post offices in
the state do a larger post office business
than Grangeville, and we have here no state
or government offices to swell our postal
revenues, which speaks well for the volume
of legitimate business done here. A large
number of secret societies are maintained, so
that strangers can readily find associations
to make them feel at home The town does
large iobbing business with surrounding
mining camps and stock growing regions,
and is bound to become, by reason of its
location, one Of the important towns of this
young and rapidly growing state.
Timber for fuel and lumber is found all
around Camas Prairie, so that farmers have

IOAFERS HAVE REFORMED.

Those people who expected prohibit
ton to perform miracles often say it
is a failure. AS a matter of fact. al
most every day there comes proof of
its value in those communities where
1T has been in operation a number Of
years. Ten years ago the town of Ma
rion Wa cursed by the whiskey traf-
fic. The Legislature, upon petition,
passed a prohibition law for the coun-
ty. Nobody there doubts the GOOD re-
suits that have followed. The follow
ing evidence in the case OF Citizens of
Marion VS.. Southern Railway Com
pany brings to light a piece of evil
dence obtained in a ease that shows
the Improvement:
Extract from testimony of J. @.

@. What about the loafers that
hang around the station. Is there not
more of them than passengers? A. No
sir, | would not say that.
q There are q great many though ?
A. There may be some that occupy
the platform but mighty few people
occupy the waiting room.
q. Has not the agent down there

That is evidence worth having and
shows hat loafers have reformed.

AS a rule, women who become heirs
to large estates, if they have chill
dren, have not felt the call to give to
good causes as generously as heads
of families with large fortunes.
Churches and benevolent societies
have often lost heavily in their re-
sources when the head OF the family
died. He had been a liberal cOntri-
butor. AS she is earning no money,
the widow rarely continues the gifts
of her dead husband, usually content
ing herself with small contributions.
Women are more economical than
men and. ever if their husbands are
rich and supply every want, have not
been trained to handle much money.
Therefore their ha bit has been to hold
on more tightly TO money than men.
Blu that spirit is departing. Women
see the need of hospitals, education,
help for the poor better than most
men and are leading in wise and gem
erous contribution. In recent years
the following large gifts have been
made by ome

There are evidences of better farm

better ploWs, harrows and improved
farm machinery of every kind, and
are therefore putting the land in bet
