Plenty of Whisky.

A Lewiston dispatch of the 7th
says: With the most stringent
temperance laws in the world the
Nez Perez Indian reservation has
become a reckless community of
outlawry. The United States laws
are SO strict that the one who has
in his possession the smallest guam
tity of intoxicating liquor is deemed
guilty of felony and can be sent
to the penitentiary for the offense.
But the law is ignored, and more
whiskey is sold in the small towns
along the Clearwater Short Line
railroad than in any community
of the same size in the United
States.
Whether the Indians get the
liquor or not cannot be ascertained,
but the white men have plenty of
it. The penitentiary seems to have
no terrors for the ambitious dealers
in whisky, for they have become
bold enough to carry it in wagons
and deal it out along the highways.
The quality of the liquor is vile,
and it has the appearance of being
home made.
At the town of Orc Elmo no less
than two dozen men are engaged in
selling whisky to any and all pur-
chasers. They have kind of price
list which Is fixed BY the Bootleg
gers association. They charge $3.50
quart to regular customers and
~ to transit buyers. Kamiah and
Stuart are noted distributing points
for whisky.
Most of this liquor goes ffdru
GrangeYille in wagons that peddle
along the road. A similar con-
dition of lawlessness has never been
known in the history of Idaho.
The reservation is supposed to he
under the supervision of the United
States marshal but as nobody will
make complaint the marshal can
not aet.-Review.

Something About Nome..

Frank Powell, of Portland, was
a visitor in Caldwell Monday. Mr..
Powell was formerly resident of
our city. He is now in the employ
of the Hammond Dredge company.
In a conversation with him regard
ing dredging at Cape Nome, he said
that he did not think it would
prove success, for the reason that
there was no harbor, and that the
surf ran so strong that there was
no dredge built that could with
stand the waves. He said that their
company was building a dredge
that would run on rollers; so that
when the tide was in thu structure
could be drawn out, and as the tide
receded it would be run back into
the water and work during low
tide. He stated that a great num-
Der OF barges were being built in
Portland to be used for lighters to
