TALK r. r. FOR WlNONA.

That there is now under contem-
plation the building of railroad into
the Winona region, is the report
brought here by Dan Davis, an enter
prising farmer of that section.
1t is not known who are the in
terested parties, but, according to
Mr.. Davis, prominent railroad men
have inspected the territory and ex-
pressed the belief that a railroad may
be built there soon, connecting with
one of the river points, probably KAN
iah.
This report comedies with the view
advanced by G. w. Cunningham, for
merly manager of the Lewis County
Electric company, that Winona coun-
try is the logical point for the next
railroad move In this territory Mr..
Cunningham at the time made a per
sonal inspection of the most likely
route to be followed and his report
favors Kamiah as the connecting
point.
OF course, rumors cannot be accept
ed as definite, but in this case rail
road gossip may materialize, as il
stands to reason that Winona, like
the Nezperce territory, must have out
let for its big volume of business

STANDS UP FOR CAMAS
DDAlDlE

George Troeh, the well known Tolo
ranchman, was in town last Satur-
day, having just returned from a
trip to Portland with load of hogs
from his ranch. While in the Rose
city George did not keep quiet in the
merits of Camas Prairie as a stock
and grain country, as will be seen
from the following interview publish
ed in the Portland Livestock Report
er. 1t says:
George Troeh came in from
Grangeville, Idaho, with car of good
hogs. This was his first trip to
Portland since the Lewis & Clark
Exposition, but he has a sister living
here so he thought he could kill
two birds with one stone and see her
and size up the situation at the yards
at the same time. He has a good
ranch and raises hogs, feeding them
barley and wheat. Mr.. Troeh says
he has been over a lot of this west
ern country and the Snake river dis
trict BIT Grangeville is the best he
has struck yet, and his white win
utter barley, hybrid wheat and oats
have given the most magnificent yiel,
to the acre of any country in the
world, and not just one acre, bu1
81 acres have all produced these
splendid results. We added Mr.
Troeh's name to our big list of Ida
no boosters"

LIVESTOCK
SHOW AT HAND
The Prairie Country Will Be
There In Force with Prize
Winning Stock Exhibits.

Next Monday will see the opening
OF the Northwest Livestock Show at
Lewiston, the greatest stock event
probably, the northwest has ever seen,
and Lewiston is said to be fully pre-
pared to do the occasion justice and
to ably care for all the visitors and
exhibitors who may be there to test
their hospitality. Already many car
loads of stock have reached the city
and are being domiciled at the new
grounds.
1t is great pleasure to know that
this community and Idaho county In
its entirety, is taking a prominent
part in this great stock event, and
will have much to do with the sue
cess OF the occasion, which Is now
well assured. This livestock show is
of inestimable benefit to both the
large and small stock raisers of all
three of the states which it repre-
sents, and in a somewhat lesser de-
gree to all the stock interests of
the entire Pacific coast in its stimu-
lating effects.
e. S. Sweet, has entered three
cars of hogs this week, for exhibi-
ton and sale, instead of two as he
had intended a short time ago, while
Cy Overman has listed one car
load. w. A. Jones and Will Platt
have entered a fine carload of white
face cattle in the contest for first
place for best selected fat cattle,
and from the comments of stockmen
who have seen them, the man who
carries off the blue ribbon from the
boys will have to show world -beaters
They have also fatted, groomed and
prepared a steer for the big steer
contest which was won last season
by Robert Jones, of Montana. This
animal is Hereford, with dropping
horns, nicely marked and as square
as a Norman horse. He cants the
stilyards right around the ton mark,
and is a beauty to look upon. He
will be a winner, or the experts here
abouts miss their guess.
The stock will leave the Prairie
on Sunday mornings train and will
be unloaded the same evening at
the show grounds, giving them time
to rest and brighten up before exhi-
bition the next day
Among the prominent personages
who will be at the livestock show
are Gov. Lister, of Washington; Gov.
Haines, of Idaho; Gov. Stewart, of
Montana; Livestock Commissioner
Mcdonald, of British Columbia; j.
c. Williams, at the head of the gov
ernment horse breeding farm at Ft
Colorado, and other army experts
Grangeville, as well as all Camas
Prairie, will be well represented at
the show and will be genuine boost
! ers to the man, for they realize its
importance and direct value to them.

INSPECT DAIRY FARMS.

Everybody in this community (and
In some others as well knows OF
DIR. H. ]. Smiths weakness for fine
dairy stock, the Holstein in partic-
ular, and in view of the number of
head of superior animals he has been
instrumental in bringing into this
community and scattering aout over
the county, they are inclined to look
upon his actions with good deal of
allowance. Now the doctor and Mrs.
Smith are planning an observation
trip through the coast country about
the middle of December to extend
from up into the B. c. country on
south probably into California, and
to include visits to all of the leading
dairy ranches and breeding farms
within that territory, a large number
of which the doctor has had recent
correspondence with. They plan to
be absent some three or four weeks.
Those best posted ON the subject are
unanimous in their opinion that this
Is one of the very best natural
dairy countries to be found anywhere
In the entire west; and those who

obtuse mind that we as nation

The play is written in a most at
tractive style the men are all strong,
vigorous, aggressive characters,
assertive and dominent in their dis
positions; while the ladies are typi-
cal of the true Southern womanhood,
clinging, deendent and lovable, until
the emergency arises, when they
have the courage of martyrdom. This
characteristic is strongly brought out

UNIVERSITY
TRAIN DEC. 1S
Commercial Club Active in
Its Cooperation With Dem
onstration Train.

Inc members of the Grangeville
commercial club are enthusiastic
boosters for the University Demon
stration train which will visit Grange
vile on Dec. IS, and will do every
thing in their power to make the oc-
casion of that visit a success. At
the Wednesday dinner the subject
was thoroughly discussed, and wthou
an exception all those present were
strong endorSers of the movement,
and expressed the opinion that we
would as community be greatly
benefited by the visit of the uni
versity agricultural and stock experts
who would accompany the train and
deliver lectures and also demonstrate
some vital points in agriculture and
stock raising.
Vice President w. w. Brown, who
presided at the meeting, appointed
committee composed of l.. M. Harris,
G. A. Branscombe, j. Frank Sims
and George d. Smith to advertise the
meeting and make such arrangements
as might be deemed necessary to make
1t success and secure the best pos
sible attendance. The farmers from the
entire surrounding country are urg-
ed to make special effort to get in
and see and hear all that is going
on. The lectures will be first-class
and the stock and exhibits will be of
the very best in the northwest. The
ladies will find it both profitable and
entertaining to hear and converse
with Miss Hoover, who will have a
car devoted to those things in which
the ladies take deep interest, and
she will lecture of household econom-
les, illustrating the points in a very
effective and impressive manner.
AS stated in the Globe last week,
the train will consist of seven cars,
handled by the Northern Pacific COM
pany. Two automobile cars with large
tween upon which the livestock will
be shown and their points of merit
and demerit discussed by the stock
expert. The best of the university
stock will be with this train, as well
as other splendid animals from out
side. In fact the very best in this
line will be shown, this together with
the lectures on the same by men who
make this a specially should be
worth the while of every citizen OF
Idaho county to hear and see. 1t will!
likely be some time before like op-
portunity will be had.
The hour as fixed will be from
to 10 o'clock Thursday morning, De
cember 18. However, there is an
effort being made to have the hour
extended to IL o'clock, but it Is doubt
full If 1t can be done, the schedule
already having been published exten-
sively. DR.. H. ]. Smith, who receiv-
ed a letter from Prof. w. H. Olin
director of agricultural extension of
the university, urging him to take a
hand in advertising the coming OF
the demonstration train, has written
Mr.. Olin asking that the hour be ex-
tended, and others have also done
likewise. But in view of the bene-
fits to be derived from the lectures,
no one should allow the hour to in
terfere with their attendance.

Binghampton, N. Y., July 2S.-A new trend may be given the inquiry into the cause of the fatal fire in the factory of the Binghamton Cloth ing Company. by the evidence offered by Mrs. William Whitney, one of the employees, who declared she called attention to the unusual heat in the building at o'clock, and smelled smoke at ? o'clock, and called the attention of the girls to it.

EUGENE MANNING
 IS NOT INSANE Was About to Be Discharg- ed When Brewster Or
 dered Him Held
IS A LIFE CONVICT
Escaped From Mississippi Pcn.--Con. fcsscd to Triple Murder in
 This City.

Eugent Manning, the negro who confessed to the murder of George Derrick, negro, Fred Sommers and Robert Luttrell, well known resi- dents of this city, some months ago when arrested by Sheriff Edgar Brewster, and who was later sent to the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, despite the fact that Sheriff Brewster had gathered evidence against the negro of most convict ing nature, is an escaped life termer from the Mississippi penitentiary at Parchman, Miss, and will be taken back to that institution this week. An officer is already on his way from that place to Pine Bluff to get him.
 When Manning was arrested he made complete confession of his crimes and his statements unraveled several mysterious deaths that had occurred in the ravine in the eastern part of Pine Bluff for several months prior to his capture. Later, after an indictment had been returned against Manning for murder, some interested parties sought to prove that the negro was insane and that he was not responsible for his statements. They urged that he was not guilty of crime and although Sheriff Brewster insisted on his being tried for the murders to which he had confessed, he was finally sent to the state asylum and held there.
 Sheriff Brewster had photographs made of Manning and sent them broadcast, one of them being identi- fled by the Mississippi prison au- thorities. IA letter was received by Sheriff Brewster from them that Manning was wanted there, that he escaped while doing a life sentence for criminal assault. They were in- formed that the negro had been sent to the state asylum.
 Monday Sheriff Brewster received a letter from Superintendent J. L. Green, of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, informing him that Manning was about to be dis charged from the institution, that after a careful examination it was found that he was not insane, but that he was in some respect imbecile. Sheriff Brewster notified Dr. Greene to hold Manning and the Mississippi penitentiary officials were also notif- jed to come for their man. They wired that an officer was already ea route here to get Manning. He will be turned over to the Mississippi of- ficer by Sheriff Brewster as soon as he arrives.
