ty poultry show will be held in
Grangeville on January 10th to

city saloon license at $1,000 q
year, which with the state and

The old store and postoffice on
Sweetwater creek this side of
Lewiston were destroyed by fire
early Monday morning, at a loss

Adolph Eckstrom, a resident
of Moscow for the past seversl

Tuesday by shooting himself
through the head with a 22-csl-

when discovered and lay on the
floor where he had fallen after
firing the fatal shot. The de-

The farmers Of Jerome, Idaho.
are making money out of one of
their worst pests. When they
were informed that eastern COM
mission merchants were willing
to pay six cents in real money
fer every jack rabbit shipped
them the news seemed too good
to be true, as jack rabbit does
not appeal to the Idaho palate.
After payment had been received
for the first shipment the entire
population unearthed every avail
able fire arm and sought the Jack
rabbits in their lair. Five thou
sand rabbits were shipped to
Pittsburg last week.
Tom Brownlee successfully
drove It's turkeys into town, one
day this week, bringing them up
from the Snake river section
where he has a ranch and where
these turkeys were raised this
season. Mr.. Brownlee brought
them through with only the loss
of two turkeys out of the whole
number. He has prepared feed
ing pens and quarters for them
just outside of town where it is
his purpose to fatten them ready
for the Christmas market, when
they will be shipped into the
cities, and Mr.. Brownlee expects
to realize a good profit for his
work. -Kamiah Progress.

State Money Can Be Borrowed

According to figures recently
issued by the state land board
Idaho county farmers now have
$38, 600 of state money borrowed.
while loans to the amount of
$13, 1865 have been applied for
but have not yet been completed.
Applications for $12, 400 more
have been filed but have not yet
been acted upon by the board.
Of the other counties of the state
Ada county leads with $148, ,875
borrowed and Canyon comes next
with $145, $50. A number of
other counties have from $25, 900
up to $4,000 of state money bor-
rowed and have applications filed
for much more. From this it
will be seen that Idaho and the
other northern counties are not
getting their just share of this
state money and are entitled to
more than twice the amount that
has been applied for to date. AS
this state money is loaned on
farm lands at long time at six
per cent interest it is worth while
to the farmer desiring long time
loans to get in touch with the
register of the state land board
and get his application on file at
an early date.

STOCK SELLS AT

Bring Top Price From Por1
land Buyers.
The fat stock show being hel,
this week at Lewiston is provin,
grand success and has attract
ed visitors by the hundreds from
all parts of the country. Fal
more stock than was expected
has been received there and from
all indications the show will be
an annual event in future and
one of the "big events" of the
Inland Empire each year.
Idaho county contributed heav-
lily to the stock exhibits and won
more than her share of prizes,
capturing first and second money
for the best car of fat cattle, as
we'll as winning several other
awards. The prizes won by Ida
no county exhibits were as fol-
lows:
Best car load of fat cattle,
Jones & Platt, of Joseph.
Second best car load of fat cat
tie, Ed. Knorr, of Grangeville.
Best steer over 3 years old,
Jones & Platt, of Joseph.
Best borrow, Ed. Knorr, of
Grangeville.
Second best pen Of fat hogs,
Ed. Knorr, of Grangeville.
Best car of fat hogs, Ed.
knorr, of Grangeville.
The prize winning car of hogs
was sold by Mr.. Knorr to the S.

for So. Is per hundred and the
best car of cattle was sold by
Jones & Platt to the same firm
for $6.75 a hundred, while the
second car of cattle was sold to
Daniels & Wallace, of Lewiston,
for $3.50 per hundred.
These prices are considerabl Y
above the regular market figures
and go to show that the fat stock
show has made it worth while
for the stockmen to offer their
stock for sale at the show rather
than to dispose Of it in the regu-
lar way. The prizes won are
also of much value, especially in
advertising Idaho county to the
weld as a banner stock produc-
ing country.
All hail to the Northwest Fat
Stock Show. May it increase
each year, both in membership
and exhibits, and may Idaho
county continue at the top of the
prize winning class and uphold
the honors reaped this year.

the price of wheat took a three

the market is correspondinglys

will continue to come up depends

The Hunters Return.

Roy Osborn, slim" Bunnell,
Howard Mckinley and George
Rustemeyer returned Wednesday
from their hunting trip across
Salmon river and brought back
one deer to show for their troub-
lie. The animal was a two year
old buck and was killed by Nc
Kinley and Bunnell. The boys
might have brought back the
limit but for the fact that they
got on the track of a monster
buck over in that country that
has ranged the hills over there
for the past six years in spite of
all that the hunters could do to
end his career. This buck has a
set of hcrns that would make an
elk ashamed of itself and is ap-
parently so wise to all tricks OF
the hunters that it has been able
thus far to scorn their best en-
deavors. The boys thought,
however, that they might have
better luck than the others have
had and the way they went after
the big fellow wasn't t slow. They
succeeded in getting a few long
distance shots at him but did not
reach a vital spot and the big
buck is still roaming around as
free as ever. The boys distribu-
ted what meat they had left
among their friends around town
and all who were fortunate E.
nough to be on the list pronounc-
ed it first class.
