this week while the teachers attend
ed the institute in session at COncOn-
ully. Possibly this is necessary pro-

James Jackson, the popular local
cattle buyer, shipped out 200 head of
fine beef cattle last week to the Spo-
kane market He purchased them
I from Andy Johnston, the BottOmleys
and a number of other stock raisers
in this locality. Mr.. Jackson has been
engaged in the business for years,
and he knows good "critter" when
he throws his eyes on the animal. He
always pays the top market price, and
as he is strictly on the square he gen.
orally is able to pick up the best that
is raised.

pests. The Office is becoming very
important one in this county, and the
man holding it who attends to his du-
ties will save growers thousands OF
dollars. And that is just what Mr..
Piercy has done since he was appoint
ed to the office.

pioneer of Spokane, and had charge
of the carriers route at the time OF
the first appearance of the Review as
a daily paper Mr. Edwards has taken
on some years since those days, but
he is still hale and hearty, and looks
good to round out century.
