for all time in the future that It's

was prompted by the fact that It's
wagons transporting the show are
painted a gorgeous yellow, color
said to be identified with Jonah's
pelt, and therefore tabooed by all
pr otessionals Of the tan bark arena,
Because of this popular super

CATION.
1t is a conceded fact that some
of our best as we'll as most enlight-
ened people believe in signs, hoo
docs and superstitions of different
kinds which conservative people
hold to be erroneous. Many believe
in the potency of Z and II. while
Others have q preference for 10.
Another class refuse to move on
Friday, believing that by so dong
bad luck will follow them the re-
mainder of their soiourn here on
earth: Many amusing stories are
told by troopers connecting Friday
and 13 with the history of the vel
lOwwagons. After their enterprise
grew from one wagon to thirteen
wagon show, a circus poet was in
spi1ed to write its record in rhyme,
from which the following stanza
is extracted:
"They saw that Bonheur Bros,
With their Golden Mascot Shows.
Have different luck than others,
For as every traveller knows,
Yellow. like Friday, is hoodoo.
But their yellow vans thirteen
l know as well as you do,
Bring fortune in long green.
For Friday of i'll omen,
And the Jonah called thirteen.
When mixed up with yellow

indians May Sell Townsite.

An attempt is being made to buy a
small plot Of Indian land at Kamah for
townsite purposes Since the return Of
James Stuart from Washington it Is
thought that the purchase of 23 acres of
heirship lands owned by Blackhawk and
his two sisters, and upon which part of
the town is built, will be consummated.
The attempt to buy the land was naugu-
rated several weeks ago by f. +. Pom
eroy He secured the consent of Black
hawk to put up the land for sale, Pome-
roy offering to guarantee sale price Of
$Ioo per acre. Papers were signed by
Blackhawk and one sister The other
heir acting on the advice of Indian
friends, refused to sign the agreement TO
sell until she had consulted Stuart, her
adviser claiming thai il was not entirely
settled whether ii was legal To sell such
lands.
II is lhousht that Mr.. Stewa will adj
wise the sale Of the land as it is only by
the acquiring of a tnwhsite where title
can be gi Ell fIr property that town can
be built at Kamiah AT present all the
improvements made are of the flimsiest
character, as the lands are only held on
three year leases from the Inuian owners.
AS a consequence this, the prettiest val
ley IN tn northwest, with about 46 sec.
tons of fine farming meadow and orchard
land, is showing no great degree of devel-
opment.

desirable for ranching and cattle growing.
The plats are to be lied in the Lewiston
land Office, May 8th; but no filings may
be made until after the 90 days allowed
the state to select grant lands. Squatters
who 60 on the land now, will have a
prior right. after the state. Those who
had made their homes on the land before
the survey was made aud accepted, have
prior right TO file on the land, regard

cisions both ways on the question Of
whether one who squats on the land now, i,
after tie announcement Of the survey,
and before the fling ot the plat, has a
right prior to the staic, but it is believed,
with reason, that the state will have first
chance. Some sqaatters have already

DR.. Givens win Not Go.

There has been much interest taken in
the matter of retaining or replacing DR..
J. w. Givens as superintendent of the
insane asylum at Blackfoot. The new
board met last week ard reports from
Blackfoot indicate that the members after
an investigation of conditions were not
disposed to make a change. Charges
against the management of the insane
asylum were made during the campaign
and this was followed up by an investi-
CATION during the recent session of the
legislature. Mrs. {. +. Bussell of this
city was a witness before the legislature
committee. The committee in its report
did not eensure DR.. Given but recon-
mended the removal Of some of the en-
ployees.
"A careful and interested examination
of the situation was made by the board !"
said Governor Morrison IN a recently

CULDEsAC, Idaho, April I2-Word is
received here that public meeting was
held at Ilo on the reservation. about I5o
miles east of here, which was attended
by large number of farmers and bust
ness men of the reservation The meet.
ing was called to discuss the proposition
of u. A johnson of Nez Perce to organize
a company and construct sy TEN of
cross country electric railway lines on the
reservation and to a connection with the
railroad at Culdesac. There was a full
discussion of the matter, and committees
to take charge of securing rights of way
and provisional subscriptions TO the capi.
tai stock of the proposed company were
appointed. A partial canvass among
those present at the meeting satisfied the
committee that a large portion of the
stock would be subscribed by residents of
Ncz Perce prairie.
Mr.. Johnson's plan for the construction
OF transportation lines is still somewhat
indefinite. He is developing electric
power at the mouth of Lolo creek, the
current being conveyed to Nez Perce on
a heavy copper wire. The distance from
the mou h of the Lolo to Nez Perce is
between IL and Is miles. At the latter
place the current will be utilized to run
the -four mill, a sash and door factory,
shingie mill and planning mill and for
electric light and power purposes. This
will use but fraction Of the power that
can easily be obtained, and MIR. johnson
now suggests that series of inter urban
electric lines could be chtaply built.

HOW THE LANDS ARE GRADED
Assessor Clifford Gives His Plan Of Assessing
the Farm Lands of the County--Prces Range
From So to $i2 per Acre.

| Assessor w. l.. Clifford when asked con-
cernug the prote st o the Nezperce prai-
RE people over the assessment of their
lands gave to the Teller his plan of as
sessing the farm lands of the county
showing how the lands are graded for
assessment. The prices range from IS to
sra. In Lower Tammauy the farm lands
are assessed at $6 per acre and on the
Rimtock the levy is $I2 per acre. Other
farm lands of the county lie within this
$II per acre. On the reservation, in the
Beeman and Nezperce country the as
sessmeut is $40 per acre and for broken
hill land IS In the Waha country the
value is placed at S9 per acre; in the in
dependent school district at s. and in
Lower Tammany at $6. Pasture and
range lands are as ,essed at 81 so to $2 so
per acre.
the protest OF Nezperce to the assessment
is not we'll taken. The selling value of
he lands is, he thinks, good indication
of their real value and the sale values in
the reservation section as compared with
the values in the Lewiston. Naha and
Tammauy sections shows the reservation
people have no just cause for complaint.
A comparison of the crop output, too,
shows practically the same thing. The
reservation is Welding better crops and
the crops come from the land every year
In the lower country the land is worn
and suulmeriallow is necessary The
land yields only one crop in two years
instead Of op yeai as the reser walton
lands are doing. The assessor and com
missioner fixed the present schedule and
considered all points at interest
1t is hardly kelly that any protest viii
change the valuations at this time.
