N. P. Will Sell Local Land

Moscow, Jan. 11.-"The applica-
tions received from local people
will have first consideration in dis
posing of the Latah county lands
we are now offering for sale," said
C. A. Murray, assistant tax COM
missioner of the Northern Pacific
railway, who arrived in Moscow
last evening, accompanied by j. c.
Fairchild, the company's tax agent.
1T is the preference of the COM
pany," Mr.. Murray continued, to
have the land taken by people now
located in the immediate vicinity of
the land, because it is believed
that they will be more likely to
develop it than persons who live
elsewhere and buy only as matter
of speculation. In order to give
purchasers an advantage, all appli-
cations will be held until February
1st, when the land will be allotted" "
The land offered for sale in Latah
county lies in townships AZ NJ, R

and 43 NJ, R. 5 w., and varies ir
price from $1.00 to $500 per acre.

A Sweetly Solemn Thought

How dear to our hearts is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth of
each year.
Who lays down the money and does
it quite gladly,
And casts round the office halo
of cheer.
He never says: Stop it; | can not
afford it,
Pm getting more papers than now
| can read"
But always says: ''send it; our
people all like it
In fact, we all think it a help and
need
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse thrOb ;hOw
it makes our heart dance
We outwardly thank him; we in
wardly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.

The Telephone Girl

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from
everywhere. Hears all the gossip,
she hears all the news, she knows
who is happy and who has the
blues; she knows all our sorrows,
she knows all our joys, she knows
every girl who is chasing the boys;
she knows all our troubles, she
knows all our strife, she knows
every man who is mean to his wife !;
she knows every time we are out
with the boys; she hears the ex-
cuses each employs; she knows
every woman who has a dark past,
she knows every man who is in
clined to be fast" in fact, there's
secret meath each saucy curl of
that quiet, demure looking tele-
phone girl. If the telephone girl
would tell all that she knows she
would turn half our friends into
bitter foes; she would SOW small
wind that would soon be gale, en-
gulf us in trouble and land us in
jail; she could let go a story
(which gaining in force) which
cause half our wives to sue for di,
vorce; she could get all the churches
mixed up in fight and turn all
our days INTO sorrowing nights; il
fact, she could keep the whole towr
in stew if she'd tell a tenth par
of the things that she knew. Nov

Brevity

Brevity may or may not be the
soul of witt, but there is no
question in regard to brevity being
the soul of conversation nowadays.
The aim of the up-to-the-scond
conversationalist is to cut all cor
ners and get there in the shortest
possible time.
In days of yore man was polite
under all circumstance, no matter
how much time consumed. Then
he would say "My dear sir, | desire
that you understand throughly that
| comprehend fully and in all detail
the information you are endeavor-
ing to impart to me-
Now he says "Gotcha".

ODD FELLOWS OUT
ON PLEASURES BENT

Saturday evening about twenty
members of the Odd Fellows lodge
of this city took passage in a four
horse sleigh and departed for the
neighboring town of Troy. Those
of the members living on Big Bear
ridge drove into Troy from their
homes. The evening was fine for
sleighing and with the good team
driven by John L. Woody assisted
by the Editor, they had fine trip.
On the road going up the crowd
was entertained by Prof. Thomas
and Walker with vocal bursts of
old familiar songs and accompanied
by the rest of the brothers.
Upon their arrival in Troy fine
supper was served by the Troy Ho-
tel after which the party proceeded
to the l. O. o. +. hall, where Troy
lodge was in session. The arrival
of the Kendrick lodge in a body
was surprise to the Troy boys, but
in their excitement they didn't lose
any time in making the visitors
comfortable and showed that they
were certainly welcome. The lodge
was called to order and short talks
by different ones were heard, after
which the lodge adjourned and the
boys spent several hours playing
cards.
Long in the "wee" hours of the
morning the Kendrick boys decided
to leave and upon the refusal of
the drivers, the balance of the
crowd decided to wait until the
light of day could be had to light
the way. During the time of wait
ing Prof. Shepherd of Troy enter
tained the crowd with several of
his excellent selections which he
delights in delivering. The Pro-
fessor was assisted by one of the
Kendrick brothers in the entertain
ment. The Troy lodge served a
dandy lunch which was prepared on
extremely short notice but was en-
joyed by all.
Talk about sleighing! 1t could
not have been better and the
weather was just what was ordered.

AFTER GOOD ROADS

Leland, Jan. 13.-More than forty
farmers of the Potlatch section
went on record here this afternoon
as favorable to good roads in Nez
Perce county but the kind of roads
to be constructed and how the mat
ter is to be handled will be taken
up at the next meeting to be held

Parks of Leland as chairman and
Joseph Schultz of Cameron as secre-
tary. Mr.. Schultz stated he be.

formed in the district he resided
that one man and four horses
could drag the entiae district in &
day. This would result in a ma

better roads.
1t was brought out here that one
