A few days ago they visited Spokane,’ George making the trip a day ahead of his wife. While waiting at the depot for the train she went on, George fell asleep, When Mrs. Killmar arrived and no one was there to meet her she went to the hotel where she knew her husband would find her. It is reported that when George waked up and for several hours the first thing he did was to tear down the depot and then started on the hunt for his wife, whom he found after an all-night search. The United States needs more railroad cars to handle its busi- ness, but can’t take the time to build them, But every shipper and receiver has the power to add a freight car to the available equipment by loading and un- loading more. quickly.

Gooding, Fuel Adminis- trator for Idaho, is notifying the people and coal dealers of the state that the danger of a coal shortage for the present winter is past, and that the people may now secure all they want. His former order was that not more than 30 days’ supply of coal should be delivered to any one consumer. He attributes this to the unusually mild winter, and that Idaho’ received 172,000 tons for December, as compared with 39,000 tons for November. A crowded house greeted the St. Clair Sisters at the Orpheum Friday night, and all were pleas- ed with the entertainment. The next and last Lyceum number for this season will be the Rob Roy male quartet on Thursday night, Feb. 14. The Rob Roys— as the name suggests—are Scotch laddies and their program will deal largely with songs, music and impersonations peculiar to their native land. Decision has been reached by the directors of the Union Ware- house and Supply Co. at meetings recently held in Grangeville, for the construction of two grain ele- vators, one at Fenn and the other at Grangeville. The building at Fenn will have a storage capacity of 80,000 bushels and the Grange- ville elevator will beable to house about $40,000. ‘Cottonwood Chronicle |A Town's Most Important Enter- \ Black Bear Line || trip by auto stage from San Fran- cisco to Los Angeles, making the 110,000 bushels.

Chicago Tribune The weekly newspaper pro- duces the interest in the town in which it is published to such ex- tent that it becomes impossible to place an estimate upon its worth. There is no_ enterprise that does so much for the corpo- ration or the individual citizen as the paper. It stands opposed to the town knocker, the town kick- er, the town fanatic and the town drones, It stands for progress as against stagnation. It is ever ready to combat the schemes of visionaries and as ready to aid construction plans of wise and level-headed citizens. It is for the upbuilding of the community. The paper has not yet come to its own, however, because it is never appreciated to the extent of its worth by the people at large. Yet when battles are to be fought for town or county a rush is made to the newspaper office always to find the loyal editor ready, fre- quently without hope of reward. Many other enterprises are en- couraged by a bonus but rarely is the newspaper offered such help, and still more often not given the support it is entitled to. Communities frequently lose sight of their benefactor when they fail to recognize the weekly journal) as such. The editor and his paper stand as bulwarks of defense against the attacks of evil or de- signing sehemes affecting the good individual or town. For these and other reasons the news- paper should receive the support of the public at large in every lib- eral degree, for it is really the most important business enter- prise of the community. Peaster A Acting undera decision of the U.S. supreme court the work of confiscating all property belong- ing to traitors and enemies of the United States and converting it into the war fund has begun in several Eastern states. This or- der is to be rigidly enforced in every state in the Union and will have a very beneficial effect in discouraging those who have been using their influence against this government during the war by disloyalty in any manner. Johnny Baer, the well known stock-buyer, sees prosperous times ahead for our hog-raisers.

During the progress of the trial Judge Sasse said to the witness: “Your statement doesn’t agree with that of the last witness,” The witness replied: “That’s easy to account for, your honor; he’s a bigger liar than I am.” Food Administrator Hoover gives this sensible advice: “Go back to the simple life; be con- tented with simple food, simple pleasures, simple clothes. Work hard, pray hard, play hard. Work, eat, recreate and sleep. Do it all courageously. We have a victory to win.” John Hoene is greatly enjoying his California visit.
