County Clippings


Warden l.. E. Brooks took Harry
Ruby, G. Maynard, M. Busch and G.
E. Sisty, all of johnson, Wash, to
Orofino Saturday, where they pleaded
guilty before probate Judge S. M.
Snyder to fishing in Idaho with a
residence instead of a non-residence
license and were fined $4,000 each.
They are the same boys who were
arrested on a charge of firing at the
Northern Pacific train a week ago,
the charge being dismissed for want
of evidence.
Deary Press: George Richardson
and S. B. Peterson have completed
their road contract from the Latan
County line to Keeler, on the Milwau
kee in Benewah county, and have taken
another and larger contract to build
railroad grade for the Rutledge
Lumber company into the Marble
creek section. They will go at their
new work at once.
The completion of the road from
Keeler to the county line finishes the
highway from Clarkia to that point,
and it is one of the finest highways
in Idaho.
Juliaetta Record: Chas. Noble this
week purchased the Seymour prop
erty in the south end of town, occu-
pied by Mr. Carr, the gardener. The
place contains 4 acres of ground and
a nice residence. Mr.. Noble traded
the car in on the deal that he pur-
chased some time ago from J. Stor-
aasli. He had hardly closed the deal
for the place when he traded it to
Ed Baker for 100 acres about 2 miles
above Kendrick. The place has abont
35 acres in cultivation, is we'll wat
cred and all fenced. There is also 5
acres of orchard on it and lots OF
timber suitable for wood.
Genesee News: Although we have
experienced very dry spring and
summer in this section, and with the
memories of two poor years preceding
it, the grain growers of this part of
the country have not been overly
happy at the prospects of this years
crop, but as the summer proceeds
and nears harvest time, prospects
look better and averages made few
weeks ago will now stand revision
upwards.
The News has made it it's business
to investigate some and talk with
farmers whose opinion is worth some
thing when it comes to estimating
fields of grain, and we are happy to
be able to state that Genesee, taken
as a whole, will yield fairly good
crop this year. While it is true that
some of the fields are either burnt or
plastered hopelessly with weeds, this
! is not the general run. 1t so happens
that the worst looking fields are along
| the main travelled roads, hence the
casual traveller upon these roads has
taken it for granted that the entire
section is in the same deplOrable con
dition as these.
Such, however, is not the fact. Ac
cording to an experienced and we'll
informed grower of the Thorn creel
district, the average yield in that sec
tion will be close around 25 bushels
In that portion of the country tn
grain has taken a turn for the bette
and is fattening out wonderfully wei
with plenty of moisture yet in tn
ground. The hot spell is broken an
it is expected that when the outfit
go out into the fields to harvest tha
a surprise will greet them. And Thor
creek is not the only section that j
showing improving in this respect
Anywhere along the Rimrock, excer
in the low country along the roaC
, the fields are looking good and tb
owners are of the opinion that fror
, 20 to 80 bushels will come throug
clean.
1t is true, we have some spots nc
so favorable to look upon. In tn
Leon district probably the poores
fields are to be seen, and even ther'
in spots, can be found some goo
looking acres. Between Genesee an
Moscow, to the east of the highwa,
the wheat is not doing so good, tn
ground being dry and crusty.
A grain buyer, who has just mad
trip over the entire area. inform
US that in his opinion, the averae
: yield for the district will run clos
to 20 bushels. Some places it will ru
35 bushels; others will not go fiv
