so HEAD OF HOGS
SELL FOR $270O
MANY BUYERS FROM OUT.
SIDE POINTS HERE TO
ATTEND SALE.

The thoroughbred Poland
China hog sale, conducted at the
Bide-a-wee hog farm four miles
east of Cottonwood, and owned
by Howard Mckinley was a
grand success in every way,
The 80 head of thoroughbred
Poland China sows offered by
Mr.. Mckinley brought $2700 or
an average of SS7.35 per head.
The top SOW sold for Sl55 and
was purchased by Anthony Wes-
sells of Greencreek.
Besides local buyers, Arthur
Cole of Pullman, a thoroughbred
hog raiser purchased 6 head; r.
f. Flock of Anatone, Wash. pur-
chased two head. Several mail
ed bids were also received by
Clerk Matthiesen but in every
case these bids proved too low
with the exception of the First
National Banks bid of Clarks-
ton.
Mr.. Mckinley was exception
ally well pleased with the results
of the sale, the first of its kind
ever held in Idaho county and
which will no doubt be an annual
event hereafter at the Bide-a-
wee hog farm.
Mr.. Mckinley also praised
,Auctioneer Zuver and Clerk Mat
thiesen who had charge of the
sale for the excellent work of
disposing of his thoroughbred
stock and getting the buyers to
attend the sale.

Without a head on organiZa-

any undertaking and this also
proves true to a fire department.
The fire Monday evening clearly
shows that the fire department
should be organized, and must
organize if it wishes to accom-
plish any effective work-and
perhaps some day save the city
from a disasterous fire. While
Monday evening no doubt every
one did what he thought was
best, the greatest damage re-
suited from excitement "or los

has fire equipment as good
