A Good Pointer.

The postofiice is the best business
barometer that any city can have, and
comparisons in the Lewiston Office show
that business is better this year than
last. Postmaster J, l.. Chapman fur
nishes the figures in proof Of this asser-
ton. During the quarter ending March
81, 1899, the receipts of the Lewiston
office were S2o64. Including Friday
nights receipts the corresponding quar-
ter shows $4,000 aud the receipts of an
other day will easily raise the amount to
S2322, an increase of I7a per cent over
the business of the corresponding quar-
ter Of last year. The rank of the Lewis
ton Office will be raised to the second
class on July /, 1900. Postmaster Chap.
man will have his salary raised to S2Ioo,
an addition of $500 to the present salary,
The government will then furnish room
and fixtures free to the postmaster. Al
present he furnishes his own equipment.

HERES WINS THE CONTEST.
Final Decision OF the Secretary OF the Int.
rior Giyeu Ia His Favor.

The following telegram was received
from Washington, u. G., yesterday:
Secretary today affirmed commission
er's decision, Sperry IS HERES.
The above is with reference to the
much heard Of case which arose with re
gard to 100 acres Of government land at
the mouth of what is known as Big cam
Won, on the Clearwater river.
The case has gone through every de-
partment of land Office procedure, from
the register and receiver at Lewiston to
the secretary of the interior at Washing
ton. 1t has been pending a number Of
wears and several hundred dollars have
been paid by the litigants The length
OF time necessary to determine such mat
tiers is very burdensome, aud in the pres
eut case if the hearing had not been made
special it would have been much longer
until II was ended than it has been. This
/ is the end of the controversy SO far as the
/ title of the government is concerned. No
other appeal can be taken, and while the
delay has been a hardship and good faith
! litigation should if possible be more
speedy yet the present matter might have
taken much longer had any such error
been made by either the register and re-
cciver of Lewiston or the commissioner
of the general land Office. a country can
not be developed without the title TO It's
lands being settled, and the sooner thi,
is done on the Nez Perez reservation the
better for the county and state.

Mr. Tannahill's own story Is substau-
TALLY as follows: When the commissions
ers authorized the first warrant he drew
that and sold it to Bell & Bollnger, to-
gether with one drawn to J. ]. Pulse, and
sent his own personal check for 500 40
to Pulse IN payment. The witness then
stated that he went to Waha and during
his absence the commissioners reconsid-
cred their action and allowed the remain
der of the bill, On his return. when he
had learned the action of the board, he
drew the second warrant. He thought
that when DIR. Stockton called in Novem-
Der no one was present but Mr.. Horns
alay, who did not know of the add.
tioual allowance made by the board.
The alleged genuine warrant is dated
July 80 and the alleged forged one July
20, and the witness was questioned re-
garding the cause of the different dates.
He said that when he drew the warrant
for the second allowance he went to the
stub of the warrant already issued for
reference, and as the date was somewhat
dim he made an error and wrote "July
ao' instead of July 90.
He said he numbered the warrants the
same because they were issued to the
same person for the same purpose. The
second warrant was made out to p, G.
Stockton, because that was the title ON
the bill presented. The stub of the FRS,
warrant did not show the name and he
went to the bill for reference. When
asked regarding the registering of the
warrant he said Richard Steen, deputy
auditor, checked from the warrant stub
book into the register and presumably,
not knowing of the duplicate warrant
only took the date and number of the
irst one. He said that when he wrote
he second warrant he took the blank out
II the back of the book, as ii was the only
place to get it,
He explained the numbering of county
warrants and how. through loaning the

machine to outside concerns, the mistake
in numbering the warrants had occurred
by not changing the machine back after
it had been returned. He denied that
the word void written on the stub OF
the warrant issued to BroCkman was in
his handwriting or that of his deputies.
He stated that Brockmau had come in as
a grand juror and had requested the
court To excuse him; that the said grand
Juror had come to his Office demanding
his pay; that some one in his office, not
one of the authorized deputies, had told
him that he would have to get an order
from the Judge, as excused jurors were
not entitled to fees. That Mr.. Reid
brought the matter up for Brockman and
the other jurors, and that under the in
struCtious from the court he tTannahilll
had issued a warrant for the mileage and
one DAYS attendance; that BroCknan
had, on the Sunday night preceding, met
him in the courthouse. and asked him tor
a loan of IS. That two of the other
Jurors had made the same request. That
he had gone to Bell & Bolliuger, warrant
sCalpers, and Obtained the loan for them,
and later, when the court allowed the
amount, he had drawn the warrant,
cashed the same, reimbursed himself for
the amount loaned Brockman and sent
him the residue.
The eN-countv commissioners. l..
Armstrong, T.. l.. Parker and l.. Mccall
when placed upon the stand gave testi-
mony to the general effect that the sec
ond allowance had been authorized by
them to avoid a suit threatened by DR..
Stockton. In reference to the Mounce
warrant Mr.. Armstrong testified that
after buying the first forty cords of wood
from Mr.. MounCe they had decided to
take two more carloads, for which they
authorized the auditor TO draw a warrant.
Mr.. Tannahill testified that he had re-
ceived authority from Mr.. MounCe to re-
ceipt fot the warrant and cash it, pay
himself what Mr.. Mounce owed him and
apply the remainder on taxes. The evil
dence of |. II. Truesdale was introduced
