MR.. A. f. PARKER,
Grangeville, Idaho.
DEAR SIR:-The weed has just
come to hand, and l find it to b.
hypericum perforatum, or tn.
common st. Johns wort of Europe.
This is q bad weed in pastures but
is not to be found in cultivated
fields. If it is not very common
yet I would try to get rid of it by
blowing and digging. If it is very
bad the only way is to pillow ny
pastures. 1t is a bad weed abou,
Portland, Oregon, and very bad
in some places in the east~ wher.
/ have just been. 1t is not to bt
found in plowed fields, and is nj
such curse as the prickly lettuce.
Yours very truly,

DELINQUENT TAXES.
Idaho Counties Beat the State
on a Point Concerning
Taxes,

The supreme court has rendered
. decision in an important case
submitted at the last term. 1t
holds that the counties of the state
ore not obliged to pay the state
their proportion of delinquent
taxes until the same shall have
been collected. The case was
brought as test case by the state
against Ada county to recover
3746.47 delinquent taxes that have
accumulated since the law of 1895
went into effect. The opinion
says:
'sWe are of the opinion that the
state is not entitled to recover from
the county it's proportion of the
delinquent taxes until the same is
collected by the county by the
redemption or other disposition of
the property struck off to the
county for such delinquent taxes.
Il is the duty Of the county treas
nrer to turn over to the state its
puporaon Of delinquent taxes,

School Notes.

Several new pupils entered the
high school Monday.
The board of education were
unable to rent a suitable building
for school purposes, and have con-
tracted with i. II. Bright to erect
a temporary building on the school
grounds. The building will not
cost much more than one years
rent would amount to and will be
more satisfactory than building
in the business portion of the town.
The building will he ready for
occupancy by Oct. l.
The high school boys organized
foot ball eleven Tuesday after
noon and will commence practic-
ing Immediately. They are
enthusiastic over the prospect of a
strong team, and expect to retain
the laurels won last spring. We
are requested to issue a challenge
to any team in the county,
Denver preferred.
The receiving class organized
last week. was open for only one
week, and no more pupils will be
admitted to that class. Another
receiving class will be organized in
January.

A Good Record

As evidence of the high esteem
in which Hon. j. G. Stephens is
held by his associates and colleagues
who sat with him in the last legis-
lature we append the following
extracts which Uncle Joe has re-
ceived:
Wallace B. Stanton, member
from Nez Perez county, writes:
81 felt great qualification upon
hearing of your nomination for
state senator. The recognition
given you by your party comes as
an appreciation of past service,
and perhaps no one is in better
position to judge than ! that the
honor is deservedly conferred.
Idaho county will make no mis-
take in sending you as its repre-
sentative in the upper branch of
the legislature. Your experience,
capacity, sincerity, earnestness
and patriotism will be needed there
this winter. With best wishes i
remain, Sincerely your friend,
WALLACE b. STANTON"
Lewiston, Sept. 16, 1900.
Hon. II. G. Redwine, member
from Lemhi county, under date Of
August 20. writes from Salmon
City as follows:
II note wi h pleasure your NOM
inaton for state senator from your
C unty, and it is needless to say
that l sincerely hope and believe
that you will be elected by good
majority. | am sure of one thing,
and that is that il the good people
of your county are informed fully
as to the manner in which you
performed your duties as repre-
sentative, you will be returned.
Had it not been for your vote,
combined with that of others from
the democratic party, hundreds of
thousands of dollars of expense
would have been piled upon the
taxpayers of the state. l am in
deed glad to sec that such sub
stantial citizens as yourself are
going to be returned this year,
because the interests of the state
will be in safe hands.
"Wishing you much success in
the campaign, l am, your friend,

is AN HISTORIC SITE.
Where the Nez Perces Were
Driven Across the River in
1877,


The terminus of the Northern
Pacific railroad at Sites on the
Clearwater river, is the exact site
where the Nez Perez Indians were
driven across the river July 16,
1877. After chasing the hostiles
all around Salmon river and Cam
as Prairie, they were finally
engaged on the plateau between
the forks of the Clearwater directly
east of Sites. After two days
fighting during which General
Howard lost over 30 men, a charge
was made and they stampeded
down a steep canyon closely fol-
lowed by the infantry, artillery,
scouts and volunteers. Crossing
the river at this point they made a
stand on a bench adjoining the
river, firing at their pursuers from
the bank and loopholes they had
cut in the fallen pine trees, but
such was the irresistible charge of
our boys that they were given no
time to organize and left pell NELL
for the hills surrounding, leaving
lots of plumber.
The Indians reiterated across the
hills to Kamiah, crossing the river
there and taking to the hills by the
Lolo trail, sending their squaws,
pappooses and stock several days
ahead, leaving their warriors
behind to keep the troops back as
long as possible.
Gen. Howard sent Col. Frank
Parker to Mt. Idaho with orders
to bring down a big gun to shell
them from their position on the
ridges. He was in the saddle
forty EIGHT hours without sleep,
but the gun was dragged down; the
Nez Perces took the hint and fol-
lowed the rest of their tribe and
were not engaged again until
attacked by General Gibbon at the
Big Hole in Montana where they
lost over 100, our troops also los
ing about sixty.
This broke their backbone and
they retreated through the Yellow
stone country, Judith Basin, cross
ing the Missouri and finally
surrendered to Generals Howard
and Miles at Bear Paw mountain;
from whence they were taken to
the Indian territory, where they
lived several years until being
finally returned to the Colville
reservation, where the majority
now are.
