TWO REAL ESTATE
DEALS ARE MADE
JULIAETTA CORRESPONDENT RE-
PORTS TWO IMPORTANT
REALTY TRANSACTIONS

JULIAETTA-Two important real
estate deals involving Juliaetta pro-
perty were consumated this week. In
the first Florian Schupper sold his
residence and lat acres of land-the
land lying chiefly on a precipitous
hillside just south of the Big Potlatch
river, to B. C. Custer of Bazile Mills,
Neb, for a consideration of $4,000.
Frank and Charles Snyder, known
locally as the Snyder boys" though
each has long been out of the boy
class, had a residence and II acres
of choice orchard and garden land adj
joining the Schuyler property, and no
sooner had the deal been closed with
Schuyler than Clusters eyes began to
look longingly at the Snyder acreage.
Accordingly negotiations were opened
with the Snyder brothers to purchase
their holdings also, and the transfer
was completed last evening, at a con-
sideration of $1,000
Both the Schuprer and the Snyder
| families were among the earliest
pioneers of the Potlatch valley. 1t
was from a portion of the Schuyler
homestead, filing on which was made
on or about 1884, that the townsite Of
Juliaetta was plated 1t was from
the Schuyler garden, also, that the
squashes were grown that took first
prizes at fairs for years and years at
Spokane, Moscow, Lewiston, Kendrick,
| in fact wherever exhibited. Individual
Schuyler squashes have weighed
more than $50 pounds.
But while the Schupfers provided
the site for the village of Juliaetta it
remained for the Snyder family to fur
nish the name of the town.
When the branch line of the North
ern Pacific was being built from
Marshall Junction to Juliaetta, which
was afterwards extended on to Lew
iston, the Snyders, parents of the
brothers above referred to, built a
hotel here and ran it for years. In
fact the same hotel is still running,

ness of the enthusiastic capacity
audiences that packed Moore's
RIalto yesterday. There is some
thing for every taste in this photo
play spectacle that represents the
highest achievement Of one of the
foremost directors engaged in the
art OF the silent drama. from the
astonishing Ectivities OF a cat that
fishes for its own livelihood in "a
mountain stream to the COnsumma-
tion Of a romance that forms the
basis OF plot that threads the
scenes.
We find Mickey-visualized by
Mabel Normand-first as a wsif en-
trusted to the care of a rough miner
and az Indian sqUaw in the wilds
of the Western mining country. She
is a sort Of female Tom Sawyer,
this imp OF the foothills. and per-
petrates an incessant succession "f

money because she owns a defunct

which a tremendously stirring horse

the period. gives some interesting
information about Alfred T. Baker
and the early training of the son
who was killed in France.
Perhaps" says Price, not many
persons outside of the older grad

led to Hobcy's development into a
great athlete. In his early boyhOod

WANTED HISTORIAN
FOR TRAPSHOOTING

One thing trapshoOtinE needs
above everything else is a historian.
We have often wondered why the
Interstate TrapshOOtinS Association
as the leading organization for the
promotion of the sport, hasn't made
an effort to chronicle and exploit
the wonderful feats that have been
accomplished by the scatterEun at
the traps.
Here is a sport that has been
increasing in volume for more than
q quarter of a century, hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
spent in promotion work. yet no
one has taken the time nor the
trouble to keep records of the won
derful achievements nor the aC-
curate progress of the hcalthTuI
pastime.
1t is next to impossible to 20
back and ferret out the great shoot
ing performances of thirty years
or more ago, for the reason that
the newspapers did not give the
same attention to the performances
on the field of sport then that they
DO row.
