gal leaving home in disgrace few years previous, had cut adrift from all family ties; but that chance meeting with his wife-and the photograph effected a happy reconciliation.
 Sometimes the camera has played it's part in human dramas.
 On one occasion a man stood his trial for theft, and counsel for defense called two witnesses to declare that they had seen the prisoner, at the time the theft was alleged to have taken place, in another town.

 he could interfere his wife had in- l terposed with

Random was out in force last
Sunday 10 see the locals defeat
1.-THE Winchester bali tossers to the
time Of 10 ?. Wade brothers,
Just returned from the Idaho Uni
versity where they had been stu
dents during the past term and
where they figured prominently
IN base ball and athletics, did the
box work for Nezperce, and with
the backing given them by the
rest of the team, kept Winchester
safely distant from a winning
chance throughout the nine
rounds This was the second sue
eessful meeting the home team has
had this season with the lads from
tlne tail timber.
The result was reversed yester-
day, however, when for the Sc
eond time this season the Ferdi-
nand invineibles got one over the
Nezpereers, this time the score be-
ing 4 to 1. The game was played
at lilo on the afternoon OF the first
day of the big fraternal picnic
in that city, and was that fast
that the crowd was kept on keen
edge of excitement up 10 the
eighth inning, when a rank deei-
sion Of the umpire against the
Nezpercers caused the boys to
from the field. II hap
pened when Stellmon was at bat.
He struck a light foul, knocking
the BAH against himself or the
catcher, and it rolled back on the
where the catcher pick
ed it up touched the batter, and he
was called tout.
The local team will go to Ferdi-
nand Sunday and take another try
with the boys there, and the Fer
viii have to hit up their
best lick TO save the day, too, for
our bunch is going to do its level |
st to keep it from being three
straights. II will be a real ball |
game all right.

A plan is now under way 70
form stock company to purchase
the Nezperce Roller Mills from
Il. w. Robinson, who has success
fully operated the same for the
past ten years.
Mr.. Robinson offers the prop
erty at $4,000 and il is believed
0ne-half the stock can be placed
among the business concerns and
people of Nezperce and that the
farmers of the community will
subscribe the other half-thus
making it strictly a community
institution with all interests be-
hind it.
Under Mr.. Robinson 5 manage
ment the mill has made 20 10 80
per cent on the investment, and
there is no reason why il should
not make even a greater margin
Of profit with many Of the most
citizens as its finan-
cially interested supporters.
Therefore, aside from the general
value OF the mill TO the commnn-
lty, il is considered one Of the best
open to local capital.
Ii is one Of the most vital factors
10 our commercial life, situated as
il is in one OF the best wheat see
tions of the Northwest.

II backed down the canyon side
until il struck some trees which
kept Il from going into the river.
Mr.. Rowe was the only occupant
of the car at the time, the other
members Of the party having got
ten out just a few minutes before.
Mr.. Rowe escaped without injury
but the ear was badly damaged.
With the assistance OF men, teams
and ropes they managed to get
the ear back ON the grade. The
letter also stated that they may
be forced to abandon their auto
trip on account Of the deep snow
in the Rocky mountains which
they are compelled 10 cross 20
complete their journey.

PROUD OF V|RG|N|ANS.
CAPTAIN Writes to Governor Stuart
Regarding Camp and Food at
Brownsville

Alexandria soldiers as well as all
others of the Old Dominion are being
we'll treated in Texas, according 10
, letter received at the Office OF Gov.
Stuart in Richmond. 1t came from
Capt. Daniel L. Porter, formerly OIL
staunton, who is now at Brownsville
Cant Porter says that the virgin
ians are in fine camp, and that the
food is good. He inclosed clipping
from a Brownsville paper which Is as
follows:
at is as natural for good soldiers
to come from Virginia as it IS for a
duck to show partially for water. y
thousand sons OF the state OF George
Washington, the Lees and Stonewall
Jackson marched proudly under the
hammer of the old commonwealth and
reflected glory upon the memory OF
their ancestors. Texas, the home OF
So MANY ex-Virginiars, is jointly
proud of the khaki-clad scions OF the
old South who passed in review up
on the grassy field kissed by the flood
tide of the Rio Grande. When the
flowers no longer smile at the KISS OF
The morning sun and the honey bee
no longer drinks from the dew
crowned petals, old Virginia will
cease to be the birth place of the ma
tion's brave and fair.
Piled mountain high an almost
iimitlcss amount Of cheer from home
for the Virginia soldiers boys on the
border in the shape of cigars and to-
bacco and chewing gum and candy
contributed by Richmond people, i:
stored in that city and will soon be
forwarded to Brownsville. One Of the
largest consignments is forty cartons
Of peconut crisp, confcction contri
buted by the manufacturing COM
pany. This confection is composed
largely of that highly favored nut.
