Democratic Ratification .

The democratic ratification and
torch light procession last Saturday
night was a novel and enjoyable
affair. The services of the brass
band were engaged at the last mo-
ment and the parade through the
streets was quite an imposing de-
monstration. Bonfres blazed and
anvil salutes woke the echoes of
the distant hills, and testified to
the joy with which the 'unterrifed'
of this county welcomed the advent
of triumphant democracy into the
possession of all the departments
of the government. Quite num-
Der of good republicans assisted in
the demonstration. This is as it
should be, because the president is
the official head, not alone of the
political party whose policies for
the moment happen to prevail, but
of all the people of all the states.

Our old Indian friend, James
Reuben, called to see us Saturday.
Heretofore he has strongly opposed
the signing of the treaty by the
Indians on the reservation, but he
Is now as strongly in favor of it,
and was making his second trip to
kamiah to secure signatures. On
his first trip to the sub-agcncy he
secured the consent of 81 to the
proposed treaty, which makes a to-
tai of l67 signatures already secur-
eel, leaving only 81 more to be won
over. Mr.. Reuben is satisfied that
ne will succeed in getting these 81
names ON his present trip, as he is
a man of fine education, of very
persuasive oratory and commanding
influence on the reservation. James
Lawyer, too, has been converted
rom an opponent into friend of
the treaty. The well-known mis-
sionary, Archie Lawyer, the flower
OF Indian civilization on this re-
serve, has always favored the trea-
ty, and was the first of the Kamias
to sign when the commissioners
first went there. With these influ-
ences at work the necessary sigma
lures will no doubt soon be secured.
1t is unfortunate that Congress has
adjourned, because nothing can be
done this year. The next Congress
convencs in December, so at least
another year must elapse before we
shall know what disposition Con-
gress will make of the surplus Ind
ian whether they will be
opened to homestead entry, or sold
to the highest bidder.

GrUnOeUiile Roller Mills.

The Grangeville Roller Mills are
in full blast and visit to them is
full of interest. All the machinery
Is running as smoothly as possible,
and the process of making roller
flour is visible. The wheat is clean
ed four times and subjected to steam
heat to make it of the proper tenn
perature before it is put through
the first set of rolls. In addition to
the usual rolls the mill is equipped
with "sieve scalper" and q enid
dllngs purifier" The machinery ia
all of the most modern description.
and was manufactured by j. T,
Noye 4 Co., Buffalo, N. Y. The
mill was built by j. M. Northrup
4 Co., of Portland.
The machinery is driven by a
25-horse power engine, with auto
matte cutoff. The fy-wheel weighs
| 300 Tbs, and the governor 1900
TBS. The full amount of power is
required at present, owing to the
newness of the machinery, but Ia
ter, when the bearings are worn to
more perfect smoothness, only Is
horsepower will be needed. The
boiler is enclosed in brick, thus e.
conomising fuel and heat. All the
power machinery is from the Erie
Iron Works, Pa, and it works as
softly as the rustic of an angels
wing. The product of the mill, the
" Pride of Camas Prairie" is Of
magnificent quality and cannot be
excelled for domestic use. Mr..
Schwalbach speaks very highly of
Camas Prairie wheat and praises it
for its uniform quality ofexcellence,
saying that in all his experience he
has never handled so uniformly
good quality with so little of second
grade or poor wheat. The mill is
kept running on full time and the
demand for flour seems to be only
limited by the available wheat sup
ply. Before the mill started it was
feared that there was not wheat
enough on Camas Prairie to keep
it running, but events show that
much wheat had been held by the
farmers for the express use of the
mill. Indeed, SO much wheat came
in that increased storage had to be
provided. A chop mill and other
adjupcts will be added this summer.
The building was erected by Van
sise & Campbell, the Grangeville
contractors. The total cost of the
mill complete, was a trifle under
$4,000. The citizens of Grange
vile hauled the machinery here,
and WA. Hall and Geo. Schmadeka
donated five acres of land where
the mill stands. The other costs of
the mill came from Mr.. Schwal-
bach's private purse. Meanwhile,
the Grangeville Roller mills are an
accomplished fact, and the welcome
blast of its chime whistle startles
the ambient air at morning, noon
and night of each day.

THE PEOPLE UNANIMOUS FOR THE
PROJECT.
Pursuant to call the legal voters
of Grangeville School District No.
=, met at the school house last
Monday afternoon and discussed
the affairs of the district generally.
The meeting was the largest school
meeting ever held here, there be-
ing 6S legal voters present, a large
number being the farmers on the
north end. K. d. Shearer was elect
ed to preside and !. Magee acted
as secretary. That the present
public school facilities were totally
inadequate to the growing needs Of
the district was universally con-
ceded. The financial condition
and present and prospective resour-
ces of the district were thoroughly
gone over, the advantages of grad
ed school system discussed and a
proposition to bond the district for
maximum amount allowed by law
was debated and a motion was fl
nally carried instructing the trust
ees to order an election on April 3.
to enable the voters of said district
to vote on the proposition of issu-
ing bonds to the maximum of the
law, namely 4 per cent. of the tax
able property of the district, draw
ing interest at s per cent. payable
in 10 years, for the erection of suit
able buildings in which to establish
and MAINTAIN a graded school sys-
TEN in said district.
Elsewhere in these columns will
be found the official notice of cleo
ton, together with the amount of
bonds, etc. The voters of the dist
riot have four weeks in which to
discuss the proposition. According
to last years assessment roll there
were S142 900 of taxable property
i'll the district, four per cent. of
which is the $3.50 which it is de-
sired to bond. The tax roll of the
district this year will exceed 5000,
600, and there will be correspond
ing increase each year to help bear
the slight additional tax which the
bonds will require. This tax is the
fixed annual charge of $454 per
year interest on the bonds. Each
voter in the district can therefore
figure out the extra tax for himself
1t is really too slight to argue about,
and every new house that is built,
and every new frce-holder who
makes his home in the district will
bear their share of the tax. We
hope to see the measure carry at
the polls with the same unanimity
at the meeting.

Good News for Farmers.

Farmers of Camas Prairie! hold
ON to your beef and your hogs.
Hogs were selling in Lewiston last
week for 7 cents, with prospects of
further raise. Beef, too, has ad-
vanced to 81 in Uniontown, and
the tendency of the market is still
upward. Prices have ruled below
cost of production for some time,
and it looks as if a reaction was
about to set in.

Is the character of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and it is manifested every dav in the re-
markable cures this medicine accom-
plishes. Druggists say: When we sell a
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla to new
customer we are sure to see him back
again in a few weeks for more.-proVing
that the good results from trial bottle
warrant continuing its use. This posi-
tive merit Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses
by virtue of the Peculiar Combination,
Proportion and Process used in its prep
aration, and by which all the remedial
value of the ingredients used is retained.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is thus peculiar to

POINTER.

Just before the last election George NJ.
Pullman addressed meeting of his en-
ployes at the town called after his name.
Mr.. Pullman's employees are probably
the best paid and looked after class of
workmen in the world Strikes are I'M
known and all of his men appear to be
satisfied with their surroundings. They
have no "union." In his speech to his
men Mr.. Pullman dwelt on the benefits
of protection and employer and employed
standing together. He said that he had
large contracts pending which would
have to be cancelled if the Democrats
were successful and policy of free trade
adopted. Mr. Pullman toldthem frankly
that they should vote exactly as their
judgment dictated. He should never
know how they had voted. He person
ally hoped for Republican success. Mr..
Pullman's remarks were loudly cheered.
81 fully counted on 1000 majority for
Harrison in the village of Pullman" said
Mr.. Pullman, speaking Of the matter
afterward, but to my surprise Mr..
Cleveland carried the town by60O." Mr..
Pullman was amazed. One of the en-
ployes is quoted as saying; ave are
satisfied as to our wages and treatment,
but we notice that we do not travel
around the country in a private car and
send our families to Europe. We con-
cluded that we would pull some of the
tail feathers out of old Pullman's plume
just to see how he liked it!''
1t will be observed that these two para
graphs are full of beautiful thought.

ENFORCING THE TAX LAW.

Tax Commissioner Martin of Brattle-
boro is looking closely after the enforce
ment of the law providing for the pay
ment by corporations of franchise tax.
He is sending notices to all corporations
in the State and if the tax is not paid,
the charter of the delinquent corpora
tions can be annulled, Section 28 of No.
8, sessions laws of 1890, reads as follows:
"Every corporation organized under
the laws of this State and having capt.
tai stock or deposits of $4,000 or frac-
tional part therOi of capital stock or de-
posts in excess of $4,000, S.. But no
tax shall exceed $50 Said tax shall be
paid to the State Treasurer annually in
the month of February. Provided, how
ever, that corporations organized for
charitable, literary or religious purposes
shall be exempt from taxes imposed by
this section"
A strict enforcement of the law, which
is but just in its demands upon corpora
tons for privileges granted them by the
State government.
