OLD LAND MARK GOING

The old building across from tn,
Paw-Nee hotel just vacated by TIL,
Idaho Republican is about to be tori
i down to make room for two-story
building that will match the Hopkin,
building. Two sections of the sidel
of the house were taken out to allow
the machinery to be taken out with
out taking the machines apart, ant
che demolishing will go on.
The old building was erected by
piecemeal by George w. Benjamin
who was something Of a trader, and
when he had snapped for two kinds
of stone and two or three kinds Of
bricks and various kinds of lumber
he got some workmen to build what
ever would fit his materials best. He
built it on the intermittent plan, and
used leftover paint to adorn the
wood work. Some of the structure
was used at times as a blacksmith
shop, a stable, a residence, a ware
house, a rest room, a printing house
and some other things not yet enum-
Grated.
One of our subscribers has contri-
buted little poem addressed to the
old building for us which we print
below:
Goodbye old Republican,
Farewell old home,
A long adeu-
In memory long
l will think of you.
Many chats we've had within your
walls.
The rich, the poor,
The great, the small,
The sick, the we'll have come to us
inside your walls;
And this have said:
Hear this I pray,
And print it down
For some day this will be
A thriving town.
Fare we'll old home,
I leave ere long
To print the wants
OF a larger throng.
In our new home
So sweet and new,
Old friends-new friends
We welcome you
And when we meet
And our stories tell
Don't forget the old
That has served us so well.

Northcliffe's Happiest Harvest.


There are three outstanding and obvious
characteristics Of Lord Northc1iffe which
leave an impression even upon those who
meet him for the first time One Is his
contempt for titles of all SORTS; another Is
his lust for truth at all time, and the
third Is perhaps the happiest harvest Of
his cyclonic life-loyalty which assocla-
lion with him fill all whom he delights to
call his fellow workers. At a golf club
near New York city four members of his
staff were taking an early morning turn
| around the links not long ago. They OBJ
served that they were receiving very
marked attention from other golfers and
gathering a gallery as they played. Fin
