attitude of the business world
on the approaching election-
not only of the great business
enterprises of the country, but
of the masses of small investors,

attitude of the business inter

will when the matter comes

MORE HOUSES NEEDED
Every dwelling house and
every available room of any
kind iu Madras which could bo
temporarily converted into resi
dence quarters has been quick
ly rented, and still there is a
demand for houses. This is
due largely to the number of
lamilies who have moved into
town in order to take ndvnm
tage of our excellent school fa
cilities. The demand for houses
offers a splendid field for in
vestment in small cottages to
rent, for the prices paid for rent
here insure? a good return on
the investment.
Several persons who are now
occupying rented houses have
announced t heir" intention of
building and occupping their
own houses in the Spring, and
one or two are considering the
matter of building cottages to
rent. This promises relief in
ihe Spring, but in the meantime
new families are moving in
every week, and there is a con
staut demand for houses. So
arithas been possible to. find
a room .or a "corner" tor them
somewhere.

conviction in Crook county for
the illegal sale of liquor.
Estebenet was also arrested on
charge of having burned his li

of collecting the insurance, but
the grand jury evidently con

to base an indictment upon,
and no true bill was returned
