ROAD TO RONDCWA
IS ORDERED OPENED
GREAT BOON TO TOWNSHIPS 3
AND 4 NORTH, 41-kNAPP
ROAD AGAIN.

The John Anthony road was order
ed opened by the county court at the
session this week.
This is the road leading from Smith
Mountain down to Rondowa that was
fought by the Palmer Lumber COM
pany. 1t will be the financial saliva
tion of the settlers on Smith Noun
tain and in the new township, Al.
The celebrated Knapp road case
that every one thought was settled
by the Supreme court decision in IA
Yor of the road, bobbed up again c.
r. Elliott, who fought the road to the
highest court, appeared with large
backing this week asking the road be
vacated. The court ruled that sign
ers of both petition and remonstrance
must be freeholders resident of the
district. This cut many names off
both but left more on the petition
for vacating than on the remon-
STRANGE. The matter was continued.
F. s. Bunnell was appointed road
supervisor of district No. 20, the
new Sled Springs district.
After allowing claims all day Fri
day the court adjourned until March
10.

NElGHBoRs RAISE PURSE
WHILE HOME Is BURNING.

A small house in the south part of
Lostine, owned by Mrs. VIM. Post and
occupied by Martin Wolverton and
family, was destroyed by fire Feb
ruary "a, the Wolverton family losing
all their household goods and cloth.
Ing. on which there was no insur-
ance.
This last stroke of bad luck seems
TO be only one of q series of misfor-
tunes which have been visited upon
Mr.. Wolverton in the past year or so,
says the Reporter. A year ago last
fall he was in the hospital at Wal
Iowa for a long time suffering from
blood poisoning caused by running a
nail into his knee. The accident left
him with stiff knee and practically
renders him unable to do hard work.
His family consists of a wife and
two little girls, the oldest one four
years DID,.
AS the house was going up in
flames Rev. Crockett started around
with subscription paper and about
5000 was raised for the benefit of
the Wolverton family.

1t goes without saying that the inno-
cent rejoinder opened the way to an
acrid discussion Of John Tullis. II
that gentleman's ears burned In re-
sponse to the sarcastic comments of
the Duke of Perse and Baron Pultz,
they probably tingled pleasantly as the
result OF the stout defense put up by
Halfont Dangloss and others.
The dukes impassioned plea was of
no avail. His confreres saw the wis
dom of keeping Russia's greedy hand
out Of the country's affairs-at least
for the present-and reiterated their
decision to seek the loans in England
and France. The question, therefore,
would not be taken to parliament for
reconsideration. The duke sat down,
pale in defeat; his heart was more BIT
ter than ever against the shrewd
American who had induced all these
men to see through his eyes.
At this juncture the prince, gather
ing from the manner of his ministers
that the question was settled to his
liking, leaned forward and announced
to his uncle, the premier:
''I'm tired, Uncle Caspar. How much
longer is it?"
Count Halfont coughed. "Ahem!
Just a few minutes, your highness.
Pray be patient-er-my little man."
Prince Bobby flushed. He always
knew that he was being patronized
when any one addressed him as my
little man"
Il have an engagement" he said,
with stiffening of his back.
The Duke of Perse smiled grimly. In
bis most polite manner he arose to ad-
dress the now harassed princeIing,
who shifted uneasily ON the pile Of
lawbooks.
May your most humble subject pre-
sumo to inquire into, the nature Of
your highness' engagement

prince
The duke waited. A smile crept into
the eyes of the others. "Well, what is
the engagement

JACK at Il and to review the troops"

The county, divisionists struck an
opportune time, finding help rather
than opposition in Lewiston, the coun-

tion, Lewiston figuring that with the
territory comprising the two new com
ties out the remainder of Nez Perce

The thought abruptly banisIied all else
from his eager little brain.
