NONE BETTER MADE

Senator E. w. Porter, of Juliaetta,
said somthing when he voiced his sat
isfaction at the excellent showing made
by Latah county banks in their recent
statements and said that it convinced
him that the banks must be doing
business in pretty good country
After reading and hearing of condi-
lions in many other parts of the coun
try,and then considering the fact that
every bank in this favored county is
as solid as Gibraltar, we have right
to think that we are livingsi in mighty
good country We know of no better
and we feel certain that the greater
effort one makes to find a better
country, the more certain he will be
that nothing better has been made

Palouse country are sitting on the top

Pullman is having some little agi-

louise and other towns have had the
same agitation every winter for years,
through their commercial organiza-

the average commercial body, es-

is too much talk and not quite enough
action. By the time the organization
gets through discussing the matter, ,

using automobiles and the present
