PRACTICE INTENSIFIED FARMING
Progress Says Kamiah Lands VIII be
Cut Up. Other News.

deal was cOnsumated last week in
which local people have succeeded in
getting possession of the Runkle farm
embracing about $50 acres of land ly-
ing south of Kamiah and will commence
to plat and sell the land in from one
to ten acre tracts to those who want
homes in the valley.
This land was acquired from Mr..
Runkel some two years ago by the
Boone land company of Iowa. They ex-
pected to place tracts on the market
within a few months, but as their fl
nances did not prove adequate to carry
as large an undertaking as this proved
to be, the company interested other PEG.
pie and ON an investigation they de-
cided not to try to handle the property
in this manner and commenced to get
the title in such shape that purchaser
could be found, which was done by To-
cal capital taking the land over and
advertising it for sale in small bodies.
1t is the intention of the holders of
this land to hold the property at as low
price as possible in order that people
with small amounts of money can se-
cure homes and hereby add to the pop
ulation of this valley.
The tract of land is one of the finest
in the northwest, being practically all
good farm land and as it lays for the
most part an bench some higher than
the river it is freer from frosts than
the lower lands and is suited to raising
all manner of tender fruits and berries.
On this farm at the present time is a
bearing orchard of more than forty
acres, composed of many varieties of
fruits and berries that yield hand
some crop every year netting the own
er nice sum of money each yield.
This addition of land to the market
will revolutionize the real estate situa
ton in this valley, as from now on
there will be plenty of land for those
who desire to locate in salubrious eli
mate where school facilities are good
and winters mild.
Cattle thieves seem to have been
busy the last few days in this neigh
borhood. G. A. Guetzloe lost seven
head, five of which were fine beef and
two that were not fit for the market,
while Harrison Kip-Kip- Palecan, an

RoAsTs THE U. s. MARSHAL
Ferdinand Paper Gives the Weekly
News Of the Berg

United States Marshal Crowder was
in town few days last week trying
to catch some bootleggers whom he
seems to think have been operating
here for some time.
We understand that Mr. Crowder
made some very unbecoming remarks
for man Of his office, one of which
was to the effect that unless someone
told him who was bringing all the booze
over here he would have Ferdinand
moved OFF the reservation and the
ground plowed up, and of course every
one here is preparing to move already.
Of course he has considerable author
ity which he likes to show but we
would hate to see him do that. From
his conduct while here it looks very
much to us as though he was out for a
reputation rather than to perform the
duties of his office. AS far as we are
personally concerned the booze does not
bother us in the least, but we would
rather see him get one man that he
could convict than a thousand that he
stands no show of convicting.
1t would be a hard matter to guess
how many cases were brought up in
Moscow at the last term of court, but
it would not be hard to count the num-
Der of convictions that were made on
your fingers. 1t looks to us as though
he was causing an awful lot of unnec-
essary expense.

fruit shows that it is as well favored
and just as large as those grown in
the eastern states where the nuts are
cultivated for commercial use.
