derable work has been done on the river

caused jams, and from the fact that
the river usually has a higher stage Of

The work so far has been of an ex

and roads had to be constructed and
camps established it has been rather

The pole industry this year has fur

men at very remunerative wages and
has made a neat payroll that not only
was spent quite freely in Kooskia but

GOT FINE PRICE FOR BIG CROP.

M. F. Rogers and son, w. R. Rogers,
were in town Wednesday from east of
Greencreek and reported having just
finished threshing their crops and sell
ing the same. They threshed about
5000 bushels this year and marketed
it at $1.75 per hundred for white bar
ley and $1.25 per bushel for Marquis
wheat. The younger man had almost
decided to sell his holdings and quit
farming last spring but later changed
his mind and is now quite glad he did
so. Lee johnson, step-son of Mr.
Rogers, is also harvesting a big crop in
that same locality. He had over 500
acres in crop this year, part of which
was Indian land, and we are told his
crop will total more than 2l,0 900 bushels
At present prices he will realize small
fortune from his years labor and will
be able to retire if he so desires.-Cot-
tonwood Chronicle.

JOE BRocKMAN SELLS BARLEY.

The grain markets in Ferdinand be-
came somewhat "bullish' one day last
week, when Joseph Brockman came to
town with a sample of his white barley,
of which he had SO acres witch yielded
20 bushels to the acre, or 329,2S0 lbs.
Both grain buyers became exceeding
ly interested in this particular barley
and an auction was on forthwith
Brockman acting in the capacity of
auctioneer and calculates that he cover
ed distance of % miles and frac-
ton, going to and fro from one buyer
to the other.
When the smoke of the battle had
cleared away it was found that the
Vollmer- Clearwater guy was the longer
winded, having bid lie more than his
adversary, paying $1.77 the hundred, or
approximately $5,S2S.61 for the 9S-acre
crop.
Our office devil has figured out that
at this ratio a snit of beer on the reser-
walton will cost in the neighborhood of
$2.38.-Ferdinand Enterprise.

SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN.

Since the first of the week the
weather has been very unfavorable for
work on the prairie in finishing up
harvesting operations. There was no
excessive amount of rainfall and tn,
most rain fell near the mountain. Up
on the mountain the snow announces
the approach of the winter season.
There is not only considerable grain
standing in the shock to be threshed.
consisting of oats and some barley and
wheat, but there is a great deal Of late
oats standing in the fields awaiting the
combine and the binder. About ten
days good weather on the prairie will
be required to finish up the harvest.
Some seeding is being done at present
and quite good deal has been finished.

DEMOCRAT LEGISLATIVE TICKET

The democrats of Idaho county need
not make any apology to anyone for the
legislative ticket they have placed in
the field. The personnel, N. B. Petit
bone OF Sites for senator; John T.
Quinlan, of Kooskia and w. b. Huss-
man of Cottonwood, for representatives,
stand above reproach. Each one is a
representative and successful business
man of his respective community who
base made good with his private af-
fairs, and all have been more or less
identified with the upbuildiug of Idaho
county, for good many years. Ask
men Of their localities VIVA. thew
know about them, and they will saw,
there are none better. Such men are
needed-they are the salt of the earth.

RETURNS FROM WARRENS.

John Jorgenson returned Monday
morning from a sojourn of couple of
months at his mining claims in the War
rens district and states that his claims
are showing up better than ever as
development work progresses. He says
the lead is fully thirty feet wide at
present and showing nice values across
the entire face. He predicts valuable
property there in time to come. John
said snow fell to depth of couple of
inches at Warrens before he left and
this caused him to seek lower climate
