Business conditions in Grangeville

tributary territory was up to the
standard, both in yield and quality,
and prices are good, while the stock
men are getting more for their sheep,
hogs and cattle, in the aggregate, than
for many years.

and Gill were caught in severe storm
in the Marengo section, Rookie says,
and were delayed over night which
necessarily postponed the finish of the
race about 20 hours.
According to a statement given out at

not required to make the ride around
the track or through the city, although
they had signified their desire to do
so, and later they reported to Secretary
Johnson, Mr.. Gill giving him the re-
lay message. Mr.. Rookie states Mr..
Johuson would not make payment on
the race according to the agreement
and finally settled only on basis of
$3.50 of which sum each rider secured

Bill says that he, his brother Johnnie,

Where the West Beeins

Out where the handclasp's little stronger
Out where smile dwels little longer
That t where the West begins
Out where the sun is little brighter
Where the SHOWS that fall are trifle winter
Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter
That's where the West begins
Out where the skies are trifle buer
Out where friendships little truer
That's where the West begins
Gut where fresher breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every streamet flowing
Where there's more of reaping and less of sowing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making
Where fewer hearts with despair aching,
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of singing and less of signing.
Where there's more of giving and less Of buying
And man makes friends without half irving
That's where the West begins.
