Speaks Highly Of Kidder Ridge.

Deputy Charles Thompson return
ed the first Of the week from the
kidder Ridge country where he had
been serving legal papers. He states
that the crops over there are fine and
the prospects for bountiful harvest
are as favorable there as they are
elsewhere in Idaho county. Consider
able corn has been planted by the
ranchers of that section and from the
present indications the corn crop is
going to yield we'll. Thompson says
one has no idea of the vastness of the
country and its resources who has not
made it visit and predicts that the
time is not far distant when lands on
the Kidder Ridge will be as much
sought after as they are today on the
Prairie. The roads leading to the
railway points, Kamiah, Kooskia and
Sites, are down grade and in excel
lent shape SO the matter of getting
the crop to market ceases to be a
problem, which is not the case in
some other equally fertile sections Of
Idaho county.

What They all Say.

In speaking of his trip to the
Prairie country, Monte Wax gave out
the following interview to the Lewis
ton papers:
"Grangeville Of course has progress
ed rapidly. Ten brick buildings have
been erected on Main street since |
was there and the residence district
has spread in all directions, denoting
an even and healthy growth. An ex-
cellent sewer system has been installed
and other municipal improvements are
strongly noticeable under the regime
Of capable and progressive board OF
city officials.
"Grangeville supports hotel that
is credit to the city and in point OF
modern conveniences excels anything
of a similar character in this territory.
cottonwood shows wonderful in-
crease in business and the appearance
of this thriving city since the fire is
more modern and satisfactory in every
respect Other than the rebuilding
and increased business section, a notl
ceable growth in the residence section
in apparent. A magnificent Catholic
church and school are a valuable ac
QUESTION to this city as well as mon
astery and Sisters school.

That Sum Paid For Timothy Seed
On Prairie.
FINEST IN LAND HERE
Much Goes to Export-Also Used
in Dyeing Prints.

Mark Means of Lewiston was in the
city several days Of this week looking
aftes business matters. Mr.. Means,
who buys seed for the Eastern market,
estimates that over 100000 has been
paid for timothy seed in Nezperce and
Idaho counties this year. The rancher
who has timothy seed struck it right
this season and his pockets are bulging
with money. The market opened at
7 IL cents a pound and as high as 10
cents has been offered. Practically
all of the seed in this section has been
contracted. Most of the Idaho seed,
and by the way that from Idaho county
is said to be the finest in the world,
has been gobbled up by the big seed
houses Of the east. The scarcity O
crops through the middle west ant
other timothy sections has caused the
present high price. Much Of the seed
in this country is exported, some usee
for planting and other to set the color
in the dyeing Of the cotton prints
Mr.. Means states that in his opinion
timothy seed will command goo'
price next year, while not as high a
this year it will still prove proftabl
crop.

SIX CRIMINAL CASES DOCKETED
Murderous Assault, Horse Stealing
and Burglary Make Up List.

The fall term of the Idaho county
court will convene in Grangeville the
twenty-eighth Of this month and the
term promises to be a reasonably long
one. Some forty civil cases are already
docketed and the usual number are
asking to be freed from the bonds of
matrimony. As rule the divorce
cases rush in pretty we'll near the
time when the docket is closed, SO the
probabilities are more than the usual
number will ask to have the matri-
monial shackles struck from them.
There are six criminal cases, five
being charged with horse stealing.
The Indians figure quite prominently
in the criminal calendar, there being
three charged with horse stealing and
then the Indian Malick, who so bru-
tally beat up his wife along in July.
The case of the State of Idaho VS..
Peter Malick and Jesse Swan, charged
with assault with intent to commit
murder, is the most important of the
cases and will be watched with inter
est. 1t is stated that Malick has
retained Clay McNamee Of Lewiston
to defend him, which indicates the
Indian proposes putting up the best
fight possible On the other side
County Attorney Griffith will be as
sisted by Atty. w. N. Scales. Atty
&c. L. Mcdonald will defend Swan
With such an array of legal talen
there is no denying that the case will
be 2 hard fought one. Other crimina
cases are: Arthur Waymire, grant
larceny; Sam Scott, grand larceny
Nathan Lotte, grand larceny; Harri
Jaboth, grand larceny; Dwight Ander
son. grand larceny; Bert Frye, bur
glary.

Big Grain Crop just About Ready
to be Harvested.
ADVANCES TO s1.25
Most Of Camas Prairie Crop Now
Contracted.

Not for many year has Idaho
county had such prospects for an
abundant crop and the best Of it is
that we have practically passed all
dangers from loss of the same. The
harvest season is just about to open
and in less than another week things
will be on in full blast. Wheat looks
fine the Prairie over and oats and
barley also promise heavy yields Of
excellent grain. There has been a
great demand for brewing barley and
the bidding has been quite spirited.
Most Of the barley crop has been
contracted for price ranging from
$1.00 to $1.25 a hundred On last
Saturday pool Of local growers was
formed in Grangeville and some
5000 sacks contracted for $1.2l. 1t
is said shortly after the contract had
been closed the Balfour-Guthrie Co.,
bid up to $1.22 and secured quite
quantity. Today $1.25 hundred is
being offered. 1t is estimated that
close to seventy-five thousand sacks OF
choice brewing barley will be har-
vested on Camas Prairie.
The report sent to outside points to
the effect that the crop had been
damaged by storms is all rot and
when the harvest is over Camas
Prairie will have made a record that
will put the Palouse country to shame.
There is plenty Of labor arriving to
take care Of the crop and it does not
look as though exhorbitant prices
will have to be paid for hands.
