All Grocers Sell It--40c a pound Needs Looking After. A foreigner named Westling, who evidently is a Pro-German—- or something worse—resides on the main traveled road about 5 miles this side of Waha lake. He appears to make it a business to catch every stranger coming this way and tries to scare them out by telling them all sorts of-hard luck stories about Camas Prairie. Last week a man and his fam- ily were on their way to this sec- tion from northern Idaho, expect- ing to locate and invest here. When they reached this fellow’s place in their car he managed to halt them long enough to nearly scare them to death by telling them that Camas Prairie was about the worst failure of a coun- try lying out of doors; that noth- ing in the way of grain and vege- tables can be grown here on ac- count of frosts every night in the year; that wheat here never ma- tures even enough to make flour out of it, ete., etc. -Just why anybody could be crazy or vicious enough to talk this way we will nat attempt to figure out, but the safest place for such a fellow is in a padded cell where he can not harm himself or AAARARAAARARAISS | 22H else. Everybody knows who knows anything at all about the Camas Prairie country that there is no better farming land in the United States, and no place on earth where crops of all kinds aré more certain every year than right here on this prairie, and also that the flour made here commands higher prices than any place in the en- tire country—surely all the proof that is necessary. FNC EARNS Percy Puyear Loses His Grain by Fire A dastardly crime was commit- ted at about 2 o’clock on Thurs- day morning of last week when some fiend set fire to Perey Puy- ear’s freshly threshed grain on his place near Stites, this county. He had just finished threshing the day before and _ had his grain —8000 sacks of wheat and 1800 sacks of oats piled on his 1000- acre farm—leased land from the Indians. The grain was piled in 4 different places,a quarter of a mile or so apart, and covered with straw. These were all set on fire by the same person as quickly as he could go from one to the other. The loss of the grain, new sacks and straw is estimated at $15,000, with $4500 insurance—the 1000 acres being insured for $45 an acre. Percy had no known enemies and the supposition is thatthe crime was committed by a pro- German or I. W. W. anarchist who took this plan to help out his friend, the Kaiser. If the mis- erable wretch is caught—which it is sincerely hoped he will be— is not likely that the courts will be put to the trouble of trying him—the farmers out there will take care of that part of it. ——_-—___ J. L. Adkison Goes to Camp Taylor Ky., Sept. 10 J. L. Adkison of Whitebird, who successfully passed the examin- ation a few daysago at Moscow for the officer’s training camp, ex- pects to leave about Sept. 10th for Camp Taylor, Kentucky. In order to close up his affairs he will have a public sale at Whitebird on Sept. 4th, at which time he will dispose of 40 head of horses and mules, milch cows, farm machinery, auto supplies and household effects. Col. Zuver will officiate as auc- tioneer. When Mr. Adkison enters the army, it is the intention of Mrs. Adkison and children to spend the winter at the home of her sister in California. Bill Rooke and several of his neighboring stockmen brought out 75 head of fine beef cattle from the river Monday. They were bought by Johnny Baer and shipped Tuesday to outside mar- kets.

Mr. Grif- fith’s record as a successful and fear- less prosecutor is well known, Through experience and good judgment he has saved the taxpayers many thousands of dollars. Criminal cases are very expensive, and unless a prosecutor has experience and exercises good judg- ment in allowing criminal actions to be brought, he might cause great ex- pense to be incurred without securing satisfactory results or convictions. The taxpayers who have to bear the burden of expense in criminal cases will probably think twice before mak- ing a change. ——— If you do not register on or be- fore Aug. 31, you will not be al- lowed to vote at either the pri- mary or general elections.
