Curry W. Felt Makes a Big Deal

Curry w. Felt, born and raised
in Laclede and at the head of the
Felt Mercantile Company at Nez-
perce, Idaho, for the past few
years, made a big deal last week
when he purchased "The Togs," a
clothing store, and the Model Boot
Shop, two large retail establish
ments at Walla WalIa, Wash, the
deal involving $4,000. In the
deal Mr.. Felt traded in his "Clo-
Alfa" ranch of GAO acres eight
miles from Nezperce. This ranch
last year produced the stock that
took most of the prizes at the
Lewistown stock show, both in
cArlOts and individual exhibits.
In half column account of the
sale of the two stores the Walla
Walla Evening Bulletin, says:
Mr.. Felt will divide his time
between Walla Walla and Nezperce
and j. W. Phillips of the latter
city will have active charge of the
two stores here. Mr.. Phillips will
move here with his family and will
make his home in this city. Mr.
Felt is known as one of the live
business men of the Idaho city, and
his presence here will be distinct
acquisition for Walla Walla. The
transaction is the Target that has
been pulled off in the business
section of the city for some time"
Curry always was hustler and |
his many friends here are glad to
see him at the front and recognized |
as one of the leading business men
of that part of the country. The
j. W. Phillips mentioned above
formerly lived at Linneus but has
been in business at Nezperce for
several years.

S. M. Brown as hostess Tuesday
afternoon. Fourteen members re-
sponded to roll call, also Mrs,
Landree, most welcome guest at
W. G. T. U. gatherings, It took
considerable effort for some of the
members to be present who live IN
the country, but they were amply
repaid by the excellent lesson given
by Mrs. NJ. F. Clay. The subject
was the growth of world temper
ance. The leader had made thoro
preparation and gave history of
the development of temperance in
each of the European countries as
we'll as in our own.
Music was enjoyed during the
social hour, duets being sung by
the Misses Smith and Misses Jones
accompanied by Miss Noami Bur-
nett. These young helpers are a
source of much inspiration to the
union. At the close Mrs. Brown
escorted the company to the Rest
Room where delicious refreshments
were served.

SUCCESS
BY J f PETERS

Life is sometimes spoken of as a
voyage, but it is not on a sea that
is without storms; it is sometimes
called a battle, but it is not battle
in which there is no danger of de-
feat. Every view of life reveals its
songs and its sunshine, its beauty
and its worth, its pleasure and its
rewards, but it also reveals its trials
and its tribulations, its dangers and
its defeats. its obstacles and its
difficulties.
Nearly all difficulties can be over
come; nearly all problems can be
solved; it may not be true that
where there is a will there is always
a way" but history and experience
show that there is generally way.
The reSourceful mind, the stout
heart can overcome. The rocks in
the pathway may be mountain high
but the clever engineer can tunnel
under them, climb over them. or
blow them into atoms with the
dynamite of persistent purpose.
Something's may be impossible, but
human progress to some extent, at
least, consists in making the SEEM
ing impossible things possible. In
nearly all cases the impossible is
the possible not yet achieved. Prior

Of markets and rural organization OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has made plans to establish
temporary headquarters in the north
west for the study of the distribution
of the 1915 boxed apple crop.
The plan as outlined is based upon
assurance that the office of markets
and rural organization will receive
the cooperation of all those interested
in the apple industry, for without this
cooperation the efforts of the Office
would not produce valuable results.
1t is probable that the field head
| quarters for this work will be in Spo-
| kane, because of the accessibility OF
that point to the opple territory in
the northwestern states.
The work which the office will do
is not that of a telegraphic market
news service, but rather contemplates
1 the collection by mail and the compil-
alton of data and issuance of weekly
bulletins concerning the shipments
and destination of the northwestern
boxed apples In this connection sim
liar work will be carried on to a GER
tain extent in the apple sections OF
Colorado, Utah, and California
