City Hall 70 r kamiah.

The town council at their last meet
ing decided to build town hall and
its erection will be Immediately begun,
it is to be frame building 20 by 36
and will be used for town meetings of
all kinds and also as Jail for the
disposal of offenders, if any such there
be. The lot opposite Ellenson's
blacksmith shop, has been purchased
for the purpose from Joe Lane. While
we are peace abiding people and not
given to breaking of the law, there
are Of course and will be, times in our
history when a suitable lock up be-
comes a necessity, 80 It is the proper
thing to provide ourselves with such a
place that it may be in readiness
when the time comes to- use it. II
will also be a great convenience to the
town officers to have regular place
for their meetings, where their papers
can be kept and all necessary business
transacted, and:a place in which to
hold village elections; in fact it is .
good move all around and we com
mend it.-Ptogress.

Navigation on Middle Fork.

Practical navigation of the raging
Middle Fork of the Clearwater is
something of an uncertainty, but |.
o. Northrup is still of the opinion
that his boat will be a success. Mr..
Northrup is nothing if not persistent
and the way he sticks by his original
plans and labors with his little craft
is commendable. If keeping ever
lastingly at it brings success this boat
may yet fiji the bill for which it was
intended.
The boat was launched last Satur.
day afternoon without ostentation
No champaign was spilled and nc
christening took place. But it waf
trouble from the moment it hit The
water. The engine didn't work right
but that was the fault of the engineer
The boat being placed in shallow
water, the propeller came in contac
with rock, which put it out Of com
mission. But the boat man is still OF
the Job. He is no gutter. Th'
boat is now in the dry dock and witt
a few alterations it may work al
right and people will be given
chance to "Ay on the flyer" to up
river points.-kooskia Mountaineer

Search and Seizure.

The search and seizure law was put
in practice in Gran.eville last Satur-
day at which time Sheriff Overman,
his two office deputies and the follow
ing spcial deputies Levi Castle, Van
Pool, Bonney, Mclean and Amber,
searched number of places in the
city where it was suspected intoxi-
cants were bein. sold. A little over
three ounces of liquor was found at
the Arlington hotel and some at
the Imperial Hotel. Johnsons trial
occurred Tuesday and resulted in the
court discharging him. The trial Of
Mr.. Tamblyn oacurs tomorrow and it
is said the defense will show by evi-
dence that the liquor seized was the
same as was taken from the house
last fall and later ordered returned by
the court.

praeticing veterinary surgery in Idaho

arm in a left sling this week, the re-
suit of an encounter with % calibre
revolver last Sunday in which Will

Wild Ducks and Geese.

During the storm Monday night
quite number of ducks and other
Wild fowls, in their fight across the

Killed by flying against the electric

TWO ducks at P. Courtney's and a fine
plump mallard on the lawn of A. c.

PRACTICE soILlNe FOR COWS
Tried at New Jersey Experiment sta
tion, Where Three Animals Kept
on Feed From One Acre.

The Jersey experiment station prac-
tees soiling altogether for their COWS.
They SOW rye. which comes on first in
the spring. With the rye hairy vetch
Is seeded and the two make splendid
feed. besides the vetch enriches the
land. The next crop is wheat, which
also has vetch seeded with 1t. Fol-
lowing the wheat are oats and Canada
held peas, and again the peas not only
help to balance up the oats, but at the
same time improve the land, being q
legume. Following the cutting of the
rye. cowpeas and soy beans. fodder
corn, ETC., are planted. These can be
harvested in time to SOW the ground
down to the same crops for next year.
and later on the silo is opened. Pro-
fessor Minkler stated that he had been
able to keep three COWS during the
summer on the feed grown on one acre
OF ground. Could this method not be
practicable on many farms? Suppose
an acre or two Is fenced on In the
COW pasture and seeded to oats and
Canada field peas in March. this crop
cut of and fed in June, the first of
July the ground sown to cowpeas and
these harvested in September. and the
ground seeded to rye and hairy
vetch. In this way the land would not
become exhausted very rapidly. The
roots and stubble would almost or
quite furnish the humus content, the
legumes the nitrogen. and by adding
q little potash and phosphorus one
should grow crops for years on. the
same ground.

pebt. and War.

Russia and Turkey have agreed to
submit to the arbitration of The
Hague Tribunal their differences over
debts due to Russian subjects from
Turks at the outbreak of the war in
1877. War. according to the views
held by the older jurists. annuls all
contracts and obligations between
citizens of the belligerent states. At
the present stage of civilization this
severe rule is no longer applied with
strictness; of course, intercourse be.
tween citizens Of warning nations is
suspended during the continuance Of
hostilities, but non-combatant enc.
mics are no longer expelled because
Of their nationality. and on the return
Of peace normal relations between in.
dividual citizens of the belligerents
are resumed. II was not to have been
expected that the Hamidian regime
in Turkey would adopt this enlight-
! ened attitude; nor has the exact point
involved ever been definitely deter
mined by any international authority.
The judgment of The Hague tribunal
would be the first authority ruling on
the subject.

knoekout Blow.

/ A knockout blow was handed Carl
Muller. a California policeman the 9TH
er day under rather unusual circum-
stances. Muller and his party were
autopiobiling through an unsettled por-
tion of the country, when five deer ap-
peared IN the middle of the road. No
one of the party was armed. but Null
Ter conceived the idea Of capturing
one OF the animals alive. He jumped
from the automobile and sneaked up
to the herd. AS he got within strik-
ing distance Of a young buck the ami
NAL let fly with his heels and caught
Muller squarely on the chin. That
ended the chase. 1t was five minutes
before the deer chaser could be re-
suscitated and the trip resumed.

MAKING INVESTMENT IN FEED
Man With New Viewpoint May Make
200 Per Cent. Per Annum
Interest. 8d

To look upon the buying Of millfeed
as an investment rather than an ex-
pense may change a dairyman from a
miser into business man. For. while
the short-sighted Individual may feed
one dollars worth of concentrates per
month to good COW and realize there
for $1.50, the man with the new view
point may. by Increasing to 81 per
month, get return of IS. He has gone
the same number of times to the grain
bin and silo, MIXED the same number
of times, and cleaned the stable the
same number of times, yet the simple
investment Of SO has at the end of one
month earned so cents interest. II he
turns this SO over again and again as
a business merchant does, at the end
of six months the investment has been
doubled. In other words, it has made
200 per cent. per annum interest.

Produce Good Stock.

As to whether to produce pure-bred
COWS or grade cows you must decide
for yourself. There is more profit in
pure-bred cows. but you can begin the
production Of grades with less capital
and for the inexperienced there is per-
haps less opportunity for loss. But a
pure-bred bull and good one you
must have. The only way to econo-
mize in buying bull ia to get the very
best one you can possibly afford. From
the breeders viewpoint the bull is
half the herd; $3.50 is little enough to
pay for bull calf and $400 invested in
a bull will bring you greater returns
IL you have only ten COWS than will the
same amount invested in team Of
horses to work on your farm or to
drive to your milk wagon.
