$T .i «. •S mm t'he Independent is pleased to lul»lissli a letter written by one of our townsmen, Alderman Davidson, who with his wife is spending- the winter in the west: Knrroii J.\MMMCNII:NT, DK A SI We are stopping for short time \t Iliiihdruni, Idaho. It is a town of about SOU inhabitants and the county seat of Cootenai county, nestling- among'the pines at the foot of a lofty mountain, whose top is covered with snow and whose sides are evergreen. The town is well supplied with pure soft water from a spring many hundreds of feet up the mountain. There is a beautiful lake a short distance above lis. a favorite resort for the fisher men. large quantities of trout are taken every year in season. Lumbering is carried on quite extensively. There art two saw mills in town, and many more within a few miles. In conversa tion with an old (i. A. li.. former ly from Illinois, who now owns and operates a saw mill on a- lake not far away said he paid 10 per thousand for saw logs at the mill and sold common lumber for SiS per thousand. Like most western towns the people talk a great deal offuture improvements. One is that the X. P. slumps will be moved from Spokane To this place, and that a. railroad is surveyed and to be built soon, running north into British Columbia, crossing the X. i*. at this point, and yet an other a, big' irrigation scheme is on foot, whereby the whole valley between here and Spokane, -H) miles, will besupplied with water. When this last scheme is com pleted they estimate land will raise in value from #30, hepies ent price, the #100 per acre. I drove out toward Coeurd' Alene, about six miles, the other day, through a splendid farming country. The farmers nearly all have large houses and barns, with small orchards of from two to twenty acres of mixed fruit, apples, pears, plums, prunes and a few peaches, but grain and hay Country Girls, Beware. The Daily .Vws desires to em phasize its belief that young women out-of-town points who contemplate visiting- Minneapolis or St. Paul in search of work had better remain in their present lo cations. unless by correspond ence or other means they secure positions before leaving their homes. The object of this newspaper in printing the vie»vs of experi enced persons concerning- the dangers that beset country girls on the streets and in the room ins houses of any large city is to prevent so far as possible a con tinvance of the nefarious traffic in innocent and unsophisticated young girls from the country towns who swanw the downtown streets of the city every autumn looking for employment. The cold fact is that there is no work for even a fifth of th# applicants. Scores of them after a fruitless search for employment, get out of funds, and are led into evil ways through the pangs of ad versity. The dishonest dollar is always ready and waiting. Sometimes it is grasped by hands that do not recognize its touch until it is too late. The country girl is I letter at home. Minneapolis is full of working women—many of them out of work.—Minneapolis News. MOTHERS, BE CAREFUL of the health «f your children. L««k out for Coughs, Colds, Croup and Whooping C»ugh.

Some big stories are told of fields of wheat and oats, such a? 09 bu. of wheat and 100 bu. of oafs per acre. Wheat is 60 cents per bu., oats $1.25 per hundred weight. Wheat is the otilv product that sells by the bushel, everything else sells by thepound. Timothy grass grows well hero and the hay is now selling at.fIGperton. I was invited to join a hunting party last week. We had the hunt all right, but came home with only a few rabbits and partridges and a woodpecker. The boys who drove the woods claimed they saw lots of deer in the deep dark wood, but we fellows who stood freezing and shivering in the opening-or on the trail, didn't see any, however, game is quite plenty. Six black bear were killed last winter up the mountain and good fat venison, trout and salmon are common on our table nearly every day. The early settlers here were mostly from Missouri, and demo crats. But three years ago peo ple began coming* in from the Dakofas and Minnesota, and in consequence of which last fail's elti Ion was a grtat success for tic republicans. The democrats, however, seem well nieased with the national ticket. One gentleman, an old time democrat, and who bears the proud distinction of being called the 'bard of Bend d'( reille", pronounced Bond 'ray, was so well pleased with results he broke forty in the following ditty to Roosevelt: Bryan if elected so it is .said, Was bent on painting the White House red. Hearst on the other hand, foelisli fellow, Would surely have painted the White H»use yellow. Hut now in view «f the wonderaus tight, We can count on keeping the White House white. say, please excuse me. one of our neighbors has just brought in a pail of cider ''fresh from the press" as you printers would say. So here's to you, a, big tin dipper full. With kind regards to the friends in Minot. Very truly yours. R. W. DAVIDSON. Another Mad Dog Killed. Th# sixth dog which was bitten sometime ago by the Mcll«nry dog which was afterwards killed, went mad Friday and was killed by ack Toole after chase all over the city. The dog. like the proverbial cat, seemed to have nine Jives, for .lack shot the animal seven times before ending its miserable existence. The woman who lives in the Michael Lye residence reported to Mr. J'oole that the dog had twice snapped at her and Poole lost no time in getting- down his trusty shot gnn. Hard to Get Good Wlicat. The North Dakota millers are experiencing* a great deal of tro uble this year obtaining- suitable wheat. About half of the wheat which was brought to one mill this fall was -rejected. This is quite a surprise to many who be lieved that the wheat raised in this state this year was as good a» the best. The rust got among ithowerer, and lowered the grade as well fis the yield. Henry West re is Dead. Henry Westre, the young man who was struck by a train at Yelva about two weeks ago, died at the county hospital in this city Friday morning about o'clock. No hopes werj enter tained for his recovery from Ui? first. I lis leg was broken and his back was badly injured. The re mains were shipped to Yelva Fri day night for burial. Westre had a brother living at Yelva. WILL BI WARRANTS:—Ward county and school warrants bought. E. A. Crokat, J. P. ELLIOTT rjiiwiiiftai |p?. ^-r—rasaBSTT «&?. v•, 1 %v""-'' WHIN T1MB WOXBXPUM.
