Mrs NJ. f. Cannon has been employ
ed to care for the three little Brady
children and they have been taken
to the Cannon home on Methodist

exceptionally bright and handsome
children, and the little girl is a
sweet little creature, with light gold

arouses the interest and affection of
all who have come in contact with
her.
Mrs. Cannon will care for the

turned over to the Children's Home

clean also. One can obtain pctur-
esque view of the vast eXpanse of
grain from any of the high places
and every man and woman in the
city should try and get down to the
Palouse country at this season of the
year There is no prettier sight any
place and the conviction it carries
with it means something.
We found the farmers and mer-
chants happy and expecting excellent
returns.
To look across those big fields
and see all descriptions of machines
literally turning that immense crop
into dollars is rare view" said AIR.

ers, headers, mowers-every descrip-
ton of harvesting machinery almost
and hundreds of men at work. 1t is
hard to realize what an immense as
set the Palouse country is until one
has seen 1t at such season as this
Is,
There is growing tendency on
the part of the communities to inn
prove their respective roads and af-
ter leaving Valleyford we found some
good travelling, The Freeman district
has made some good roads. There
are yet. however, many places where
the roads are not so good. The old
roads which were along the streams
and draws, following the old trails,
were all right, with hardly any hills.
Where the roads had been changed
from the trails to the section lines,
they were not so good in some places
and there were more hills TO make"

HISTORY OF TROUBLE
Shuster has had the odd expe-
rience of being dismissed because
he did his work too well.
On the recommendation of Pres
ident Taft, he was secured by Per-
sia to take charge of her sickly
financial affairs. Within a few
months he had almost 81, 600, 200
In the treasury. Russia began to
grow uneasy. She and England
had intended to partition Persia
as soon as the country was hope
lessly bankrupt.
Russian financiers. who had had
free hand, began to find them
selves thwarted by the young
American. They protested to the
czar, and Persia received a notifi-
cation that Shuster's presence was
distasteful. Persia didn't take
the hint. Then followed the ulti-
matum demanding Shuster's dis
missal. The pro-I,ussian Persian
cabinet yielded, but parliament re-
fused. Then came the Cossacks.
