After a
long delay, Idaho county is to have a poor farm. the subject has been
urged for the attention of the board of County commissioners for several
years. A good farm can be purchased much cheaper now than it will ever be
possible hereafter.

| John Mahoney, a pioneer placer
miner of Warren, was committed to the poor farm.
He was flush for many years, but whiskey ruined him.
The Surridge family, on Camas Prairie, gave him a sheltering home for
sweet charity’s sake for some time, but rural life was too quiet for him. |

Modern
electric lights are soon to replace obsolete tallow candles as a means of
illuminating inmate’s rooms at the Idaho County Poor Farm.
Inmates of the poor farm can thank a suicide for delivering them from
semidarkness.
A German native provided for his property to be used on the poor farm.
He had 160 acres in Winona. |
