CLIPPINGS FROM BOOMERANG.
From the editor: "The Palouse Bridge
precinct being the head, Moscow the neck
Genesee and Potlatch the shoulders it is
very plain that Moscow's only show is to
cut enough from the shoulders to balance
the head. Who cares for expense if town
lots can be made valuable in Moscow?
Moscow made the attempt to saddle the
expen Of county government upon
the already ovor-burdened citizens of the
northern part of Nez Perez county. The
citizens rallied 800 strong and defeated
that dastardly attempt

another, and 10 feed her Unsuitable greed.
she would defeat the Will Of the oilizuns
OF several counties, by putting her selfish
interests in the way Of annexation. With

though lacking his intellect, her Sampson.
with his jaw bone Of in ass, filings this
trcachery upon the honest citizens OF Nez
county, and tells them that they asked
for these county seat issues to be raised.
Can We wonder that Moscow is trying to
convince the people that there is no hope
for annexation? VIII the tax payers of
Nez Perez county have any faith in
promise made by those who secretly laid
IA p!ot to enrich themselves at the cost
OF the public? viii the honest voters
OF Nez Perez county vote to consumatc
scheme brought about by the treaohcry
of few individuals? Are the people Of
Nez Perez county so lost to reason that
they will vote to strengthen the only foe
to annexation existing in North Idaho?
NO!m
From Big Potlateh correspondent Of |
the boomerang: THE entire mass of us
will go heavy for Lewiston and against
Moscow. The ring at Moscow tried hard
to pull the wool over the eyes of the peo-
pie in this part of the country, but the
bottom has fell out of the concern that
they tried to cook Us in, and we all dis
covered what every voter will discover
before the 18th of next June, and that Is
that to vote for Moscow for county seat
will be to take money out of our pockets
and put it in the pockets of a hungry
few in that town. The Moscow boom is
fast going up Salt River, and the more
those knavos in Moscow stir the matter.
the farther away will be the people from
them with their votes on the day tn
the wonderful OK is to be baked and
stuffed with Joe Shi.sler's hogs or some
thing worse-Rcv. Dr. Taylor's speech
on change of county seats"
From Moscow correspondent of the
Boomerong:. "The faithful are asked to
honor and perpetuate fraud. Pledges are
broken, and promises are made with no
intention of being kept. Annexation must
be trampled on because it is not in the
interest of Moscow They make an open {
BOAST of it here. Not a man uses a word
n favor of it. 4 u i * X ~
Ed. Boomerang says: THAT the relo- $
