Ed Flahrerty, railroad contractor
who has been engaged on contract be-
tween Wallula and Riparia on the o.
r. & N, arrived up by steamer Thursday
with his outfit, which was unloaded four
miles below this city.
Mr. Flahrerty was i'll the city Saturday
purchasing supplies and otherwise ar
ranging to commence work Monday
morning. He stated that his contract
called for grading something like 10000
yards of earth and with the force he
would work it would ,ake between three
or four months to finish the same
When intimated by a representative of
the Teller that construction would likely
cease Sept 10th upon the Snake River
Valley Railway Mr.. Flahrerty secuted
the idea and thought it looked unreason-
able for any such action to take place
when contracts of such magnitude as he
has just received are being let daily.

Indians Say Game is Scarce.

Paul Showaway, who claims the posi-
ton of chief of the Cayuses is his. but
who makes no effort to establish his title
to the rank, has returned from trip to
the Nez Perces reservation. He went
also up into Montana, and has spent the
summer mostly i'll visiting the Indians on
other reservations. Showaway is big
healthy Indian, who has never become
addicted to any of the vices for which
most other Indians appear to have pro-
pensity, and he is regarded as very
good Indian indeed.
Showaway states that the Indians here,
the Cayuses, the Umatillas and Walla
Wallas, are now leaving for their fall
hunts in the distant mountains. They
are going to the Snake river, in the vicin
ity of Huntington, and some to the
Minem country.
Game is scarce this year." said Paul
and it is getting scarcer every year. The
white men have killed so much, and are
becoming SO numerous in this country
that there is less and less for the Indians
from year to year. 1t will not be very
long time before there will be practically
no game left in all this big country
where once there were lots of it, and
enough so that when the Indians went
on their annual hunting trips they came
home in few weeks with all their pack
horses staggering beneath the load o.
dried meat "--Pendleton Tribune.

Revenue Difficulties.

The Tribune, in an editorial this morn,
ing, either maliciously or ignorantly pub,
fishes statement which is entirely
wrong. 1t claims that $3.50 on every
Sioo can be raised for general county
purposes, and then says, Either the
assessors have failed in their duty or the
county governments are making excess
i've demands for taxes"
Now, the law is very plain on the sub
ject of revenue. On page ASS House
Bill No. 349, Section I4rI, it says That
the amount raised for county purposes,
which shall not, INCLUSIVE of the
amount required to be paid to the state
as state tax, exceed one and one half per
cent"
The state tax requires so mills and the
state wagon road tax mills, thus leav-
ing only 9s mills for county purposes.
Now of that amount the redemption
fund, which is for the payment of inter.
est, requires IS mills. The law demands
that when any bonds are due the funds
must be raised one year in advance. We
have 5000 to pay on the court house,
and that will require 10 mills. The law
requires 10 mills for district roads; 50
this leaves only IS mills for general pur.
poses, which would raise only SI7 900 for
roads, expenses Of court and all other
expenses, when last year it cost Sc, 900
Our county is growing rapidly. The
roads must be kept up, and certainly
there is no man in the county who will
object to his share Of the road tax. w,
have confronting us the largest docke
ever known in Nez Perce county, includ
ing fifteen criminal cases. We firml,
believe it is sound financial policy, espe
cially under as good times as we are hav
ing now, to pay pretty near as we go
and no. run into debt $I4 900, as we di,
last year, or $4,000 since the bond issu
of $Ss 900 in 1895.

Looks Bad.

A gentleman of this city who made a

prospect of saving the crops in that
vicinity, unless the rain subsidies, looks
dubious. The big club wheat that is no,
cut is laying down partially and other
grains are soft and bleached.
Harvesting is backward, very little
threshing SO far having been done. Oui

which this city experienced Monday
