New Furniture Store Coming.

Joseph McClaskey, the local
undertaken, informs US that he
has arranged to open another
furniture store at this place and
expects his stock of goods to
reach here early next month.
He has secured quarters in the
Creelman building on Broadway
and will also move his stock of
undertaking goods to the new
location. He believes the future

carrying a nice line of goods,
equal to many of the city stores.

Grand JURY
AT BOISE
n w. Thompson and l.. q. Brad
lev. Former North Idaho Citi-
zeus, in the Lime Light, Says a
Dispatch.

A Boise special dated March 20
savs: United States District
Attorney C. H. Lingenfelter ex-
ploded bomb-shell of informa-
tion in the federal court this
morning when he announced in
his opening statement to the
grand jury governing matters to
be called to the attention of that
body, that charges of fraudulent
use of the United States mails
would be invest gated, the search
Hight being turned in this respect
upon the Medbury Valley Land
and Development company; that
/ the raids of night riders on the
Camas prairie to intimidate land
contest witnesses, strike terror
to the hearts of the settlers
through the use of open threats
of injury and, it is said, death.
and especially their relation to
the Vaught-Leek land contest,
would be exposed in the legal
calcium, and claim jumping in
the Long valley and Rosebury
country would also be investigat-
ed.
Gaylord w. Thompson, of Lew
iston, is president of the Medbury
Land and Development company.
He is known as a capitalist of
north Idaho a promoter and one
of the leading politicians of Nez
Perce county. That he will be
summoned before the grand jury
to explain the manner in which
the mails were used to promote
the town lot sale at Medbury and
why they were fraudulently used,
if such was the case, is now
known.
L. G. Bradley, a former news
paper man, Of Montpelier, a
member of the legislature during
the seventh session and manager
of the Medbury company will
also be summoned before the
jury, as we'll as other directing
officials, and it is said former
state officials who secured lands
on the tract.
The lands on the Medbury tract
were opened on November 16,
1909, at Medbury as advertised,
1t was to take place under the
supervision of the state and swas
classed as a Carey act opening.
While the district attorney
gave no intimation to the jury at
the open session of the court this
morning as to what evidence will
be introduced for their consider
alton, it was learned upon relia-
BILE authority that the government
throtgh the postal inspectors has
been working on the case for
several months.
(The L. G. Bradley above men
toned was at one time connected
with the Standard newspaper at
Grangeville.)

Straw For Highways.

The following article regarding
the use of straw for highways
appeared at one time in Walla
Walla paper and we give it to
our readers believing it could be
applied to advantage on Camas
prairie.
Wheat straw will play an inn
portant part in many miles of
new good roads that will soon be
built throughout this county
Straw has been used for years on
roads in this state and has been
found to give the best results
when put on wet and mixed with
the soil. When spread loosely
on the roads it scatters and ig-
mites and the work of days and
weeks is lost.
The newer plans are better yet
for the application of straw. In
the first place the roads will be
plowed and graded and brought
to crown. When the road bed
has been narrowed and made
level the straw was put on. 1t
IS placed on the soil to depth
)f six inches. A disc cutter is
used to cut and mix the straw
with the earth. If all the straw
works into the roadbed, more
straw is put on, until a cushion
is formed. The loose ends of
the straw stick up and travel
does not work the straw to the
side of the road. A steam roller
ls then used to pack the earth
and straw into a hard mat as
durable as asphalt, and a road
that will, if the grade is properly
made, turn off water.
The new method of mixing
straw with the soil costs more
than that of merely throwing
straw into the ruts, but it makes
road that will outlast even
gravel and cinders. Gravel is
very expensive and the cost of
hauling is great. In all the low
lands and uplands in this county
straw will be used to mix the
clay soil into a good road bed.

Henry Goeckner was taken
seriously i'll late last week with
pneumonia and was brought to

His condition gradually grew
worse and on Wednesday after

his case hopeless. However. he
took slight change for the bet

GERMANY HAS RELIGIOUS ROW
Case of Pastor Jathos Cause of Acute
Dissension.
SOLDIERS MARCH OUT OF CHURCH
Pastor Was Defending JathO, Who
Has Been Expelled from Church
ON Account of Heresy-Paint-
inEs by Durer Found. .

BERLIN, Aug Z.-The uncovering of an
utterly unsuspected set Of sixteenth cen
tury mural paintings during a renovation
OF the ancient German Monastical church
at Frankfort-on- Main has been crowned by
the discovery OF an original self-portrait
OF the celebrated German painter, Abrecht
Durer considered here as an artistic event
Of the first magnitude.
The artist is shown in a long mantle and
feathered cap, brush and palette in the
left hand and IN the right a square tablet
with a Latin inscription stating that the
picture is the work Of AIbrecht Durer. and
the date l525.
The frescoes are found On the walls OF
the sacristy Of the church. which for years
were thought TO bear only simple tapestry
pattern. until skinful cleaning and restora-
ton showed the supposed tapestry design
TO be really set OF elaborate and surpris-
ing paintings. From the inscription on the
Durer portrait and internal and historical
evidence, II Is thought that the decOra-
tions were the work OF scholars OF Durer,
carried out under the supervision Of the
master. who capped the work with his own
brush during a visit TO Frankfort in lh25.
Details OF the portrait and the character

ineness. Only a part Of the complete deco
ration has bean revealed by the removal
