COUNCILMAN TAYLOR.

Mr.. Tay lor has sent US copy of the
Boise Statesman with the following
allusion to himself marked, and re.
quests US to publish. The allusion is
contained in the following language:
Unless We are wrong, some of the
Northern papers are talking very fool
ish in regard to Councilman Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor has never intimated that
he had any desire to divide Nez Perce
county, unless the people petition him
to do SO. He is one of the hardest
workers in the Council, and during the
holidays has been gathering up money
and clothing for the poor. He had
his Annexation Memorial promptly
ready, and it has passed to committee,
and reported favorably upon. He has
introduced number Of good bills, and
we hardly think it just to condemn
public servants or impugn their motives
until we have reason to do SO. We do
not think that any man in the Council
will make more honorable record than
Taylor, of Nez Perce county.

present Legislature, his endeavors will
lie fruitless. 1t is now more than ever
apparent that this whole scheme Of di.
vision as well as the present move to
relocate the county seat, originated in
Moscow, has been kept constantly agi
tated by Moscow and for the sole pur
pose of cnriching few in Moscow and
vicinity at the expense of the balance
Of the people Of the county and against
their protest, and unless we mistake
the sentiment Of the people of the
county generally as expressed, these
efforts Of Moscow will recoil to the dis
advantage Of that town as future
county seat, whatever act the Legisla
ture may pass, if they pass any upon
either division or re location. They
have fully demonstrated their want Of
respect for the sentiments of good faith
existing in other portions of the county
through the blind sellishness of their
leaders and advisers upon the question
and We expect to see the day in our
time when great majority Of the cit
liens of Moscow itself will see the mis-
take their leaders and advisers have
made. Their chickens will surely come
home to roost, and come home hungry

FROM PIERCE CITY.

PIERCE CRY, |. T., Jan. 3, 1883.
Ed. TELLER, Dear Sir:-I send you
few Pierce City items: Plenty of
snow, "Baiid" had better send his "cut.
tiers" up here if he wants them "tr; ken
ill.,"
On Sunday, Dec. 3lst, at 0 am. the
thermometer stood at lS' below "frezo.
A few evenings since the musical
voice of "a Celestial" was heard and the
words, fire! fire were distinctly audible
the boys all turned out and found the
"world renowned Pierce City Hotter
was On fire. One OF our "solid men
soon succeeded in subduing the flames,
when the proprietor, Christ. Swendscn,
Esq, appeared on the scene and clam,
bered up the roof with the agility of a
packmu.e climbing tree back wards,
brandishing in his hand quart pan
Of water, poured the liquid down the
stove pipe and gracefully slid off the
roof. The hotel didn't burn down.
'you can see it as soon as you get in
town, it is the biggest house here"
Damages something less than a hun
dred thousand dollars.

HARD AT IT,
LAPLANDER

The Cheney Sentinel's Washington
correspondent under date Dec. 18th
writes: "rhe great topic Of interest
to your people is the bill for the adn,is
sion Of Washing ton as one Of the sister
hood Of States. Already has Mr.. Brents
been at work perfecting the plans by
which he has reasonable hopes of sue
cess. The Dakota bill was up in the
Senate today, but no final action was
taken on it. But MS soon as that is
disposed of the committee have given
Mr.. Brents every assurance that the
bill for the admission Of Washington
will be taken up aud acted on. Should
it pass the Senate, and Mr.. Brents get
the floor of the house to call it up as a
substitute for the House bill already
reported favorably on, and now the
House calendar, there Is little doubt
OF success. If, however, the bill for
Dakota fails in the Senate, the chances
are that the Washington Territory bill
will fail, and then the effort this .es-
sion will 10 abandoned. Mr.. Brents
is moving every perve to accomplish
the passage Of tho bill, and hopes for
success, as be has abundance of aid in
the Senate, but legislation Of all char
acter, except OF course the regular nee
essary appropriation bills, is very, very
problematical."

ONE ON THE BARKEEPER.

A few evenings ago WMle nal1
dozen gentlemen were standing at a
bar of one of the most fashionable
up town saloons, well dressed, good
looking stranger entered the room
and walked straight to the bar, and
addressed the barkeeper in language
like the following:
stranger, l am in very, very bad
condition. want drink; / must
have drink. but / am compelled to
make4he humiliating statement that
am unable at present to pay for it.
II you will be kind enough to favor
me in my extremity, you shall be
paid, sir''
I'VE don't keep whiskey to give
away here was the blunt reply of the
barkeeper. The stranger begged but
the barkeeper was inexorable and
even rude. The mild-mannered
stranger turned to the gentlemen
who had been witnesses to the con-
versation, and said: "Gentlemen,
you are all strangers to me, but would
one Of you be kind enough to loan
me the price of a drink' ! will pay
it back"
One of the party addressed handed
the stranger Is cents.
He stepped to the bar and said:
"Now, can I have drink?'
Eyes" said tho barkeeper; ''any
body can get drink for the money,
here"
Il thought So" said the stranger
The bottle of "red Ticker" was
placed on the bar: the stranger filled
his glass literally.
"A little bitters in there, if you
please" said the stranger. Then
when the bitters were furnished, he
asked for larger glass of water
which was also set up. The stranger
drank his beverage and then turned
to the rnan who had loaned him the
money and said:
''Stranger, make it point OF
honor to pay borrowed money before
I pay whiskey bills; here is your 10
cents; I am greatly obliged for the
loans" and SO saying he walked out.
The dazed barkeeper, seeing he was
sold and that the laugh was on him,
ran to the door and called to the
stranger to come back. The stran-
ger returned and inquired: "What
do you wantw The barkeeper re-
piled: THAT was a cute trick /. ou
played, and / own up that you caught
me. The drinks are on Inc. What
will you takew Excuse me, SIR
replied the stranger, II drink only
with gentlemen; cannot drink with
you," and the mysterious stranger
walked away, leaving the barkeeper
to wonder whether it would not DC
better to give stranger one drink
than to be caught by trick and have
to ''set them up" to a whole crowd.
