S75,0OOFORW WHEAT
FROM $500 ACRE
wren Ranch
LARGEST SALE OF GRAIN THAT
HAS BEEN MADE FOR
SOME TIME.
AVERAGES $l.55IN THE BULK
Model Ranch Handles Grain in Bulk
and Does Things in a Whole
sale Way.

The biggest wheat sale Of the prairie
and probably in this part of the state
coming from one ranch and representing
one years crop, was made last week
when Thomas Wren, who owns the
model ranch of $500 acres in the
vicinity of Fem, sold 5000 bushels of
grain stored in his private elevator at
Fem, to Inland Empire parties for the
sum of $4,000.
This makes an average of better than
$l.55 q bushel and as the grain is in
bulk, the net price is much better than
the figures indicate as there will be no
charge for sacks to be accounted for in
estimating the price per bushel.
We understand the grain was secured
by several parties, Lewiston and Mos
cow buyers figuring heavily in the
transaction. Wren operates exten-
sively in the farming land and has
built up model place, or rather several
places. Headquarters for all ranches
are located at the old town of Denver,
and here are constructed most modern
country home for the use of the mana,
ger, Mr.. Kressley a number of tenant
houses and the most modern barns and
outbuildings.
All work is done on a large scale
farm traitors and combines being freely
used AT Fem, which is the nearest
railway station, large private eleva
tor has been built and grain is hanlled
by Mr. Wren at lower cost than any
other place in the Inland Empire. Dis
tilate which is used in large quantities
in the operation Of the tractors, etc, il
purchased in car lots and stored il
tanks which have been erected b. Mr.
Wren on ground convenient to tha rail
road.
There is no finer show place or large
farm that has given substantial returns
and is operated along the most moderr
lines in the entire northwest than thi
2S00 acre ranch that is so ably manag
ed by Mr.. Kressley.~

HEADoN WITH WILD STEER.
Wild Steer Attempts to Buck Passenger
Train from Track.

A steer in bunch of cattle pur-
chased by "Billy" Brockman of par
ties in the vicinity of the Keuterville
section, was party to a headon coils
ion with Friday nights passenger train
at Cottonwood, no damage resulting
to the engine or train but quick death
to the infurated animal. Brockman ar
rived in Cottonwood about train time
with bunch of cattle and was head
ing for the stockyard when one of the
steers broke away from the bunch and
started up the railroad track. He was
rounded up and headed for the stock
yard again just about the time the
passenger train came in sight. The
steer, who was by this time excited and
wild and woody, dashed up the track
and with lowered head made for the on
coming engine. The engine has been
carrying snow plow through the win
ter and raised the steer in the air
tumbling him off the track as it would
so much snow. An examination made
later showed the animal had been
pretty badly smashed up, broken jaw,
three legs and a number Of ribs, death
resulting shortly after the accident.

THE DAYS OF '49"
POSTPONED TO
FEBRUARY Z
RETURN OF LOCAL SOLDIERS
MAKES CHANGE IN DATE
NECESSARY.
Wild, WO0uY, FREE & EASY
Black Jack, Roulette, Drinking and
Gambling with Phoney Money and
Pure Water to Swell Band Fund.

Owing to the fact that the soldier
boys are billed to return Monday even
ing from Boise which means that the
reception and dance for the home-com-
ing braves will be held on Tuesday
evening next, the members of the Cow
boy Band have been compelled to
change the date of "The Days of '49o
entertainment and dance from Monday
evening to riday evening, February 2.
Last week a complete announcement
was made of the '49 entertainment and
at that time it was thought that the
soldier boys would reach home this
week but latest advices from Boise
state that the company will arrive in
Grangeville Monday evening.
The change is acceptable for it gives
the band boys few days more in which
to prepare for the Grand Round Up
and Stampede which promises to make
the early days in the wild west pale in
comparison as would Border days vs..
quilting bee. The band boys claim
they have more money on hand than all
the banks of Idaho county and they
promise to put it all in circulation at
the '49 show and dance if you folks
will only be ON hand and jar loose a
few dimes. This, of course, is not
honest-to- goodness money; it's counter
felt currency-the kind you hold in
your hand and wish it was real-but
you can spend all you can get of it at
the 40 show and you re sure to get
your moneys worth.
With view of entertaining an un-
usually large crowd the band boys have
secured, through the kindness of the
Knights of Pythias, the use of the club
room adjoining the dance hall in the
Schmadeka building Most of the
gambling" games to be staged by the
management of the 40 show will be
pulled off in this room, such as faro,
