which, he said, would not justify paying
taxes upon.
''The greater perfidity Of the transac-
tion, he said, was in the fact that the
state could never begin to complete its
quota Of valuable land under its grant
from the government, anil that there
were no similar pine tracts for the state
TO select in the future in the Clearwater
timber belt. He said that it was cum-
mon talk in Lewiston. and even Mos
COW, that the fight in the local conven-
ton of the republican party of Ne7
Perce county was to get control OF the
founty organization into friendly hands
and timber associates, and thus per
petuate the timber graft.

CHARGE OF FRAUD
r. D. Culver of Lewiston Makes
Serious Charge Against
Idaho Land Board.

Under date of Nez Perce, Idaho, Oct,
Is, lhe Spokane Spokesman Review
published the following:
IF. d. Culver of lewiston, candidate
on the democratic ticket two years ago
for attorney general, in speech here
tonight threw bomb into the repubh
can camp. He charged the state land
board with COLLISION with local parties
and agents of syndicate timber sharks,
in defraudng the state school and char
table funds out Of upwards Of 100000
worth of white pine stumpage during
the past year. He said that was its
minimum local market value today.
aud that its actual standing value, basel
on the price of standing white pine in
the Great Lakes region, is 81 .O0O, 900.
He said the modus operanda was the
same as resorted to heretofore by the
timber barons in Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota and a. the state of Idaho
had no recourse in this betrayal of its
agents, no doubt, Uncle Sam would be
likely to take a hand in the game in the
near future.
''The prominent local associates and
agents at Lewiston of the pine syndicates,
he said, were furnished minutes of the
choice pieces or tracts of timber through
the selectors OF the state land board, and
the locations secured by being in line at
the local land Office prior to the expi-
ration of the 90 day preference right OF
the state in which to make its selection
and filing.
"He said the state selections were
usually made on the last day of grace by
the state, after the timber syndicates'
allies and agents were in line at the
land office, and that dozens of script and
personal entries, like in township 3S,
5 and 6, would run from 1000, 600 to 4,
O00, 900 feet of timber to the quarter sec
ton, while the surrounding state selec-
tions would range from 300, 900 to l, :
O00,00 feet to the quarter. In township
80, range 4, he said, $40 acres located
with scrip and a few personal entries
covered a more valuable tract of timber
than the whole state selection of $500
acres in the same township, some ol

0DDFELL0WS MEET
Grand Lodge Meeting OF oddfeI-
lows and Rebekahs at
kampa, Idaho.

The twenty-second session Of the
Grand Lodge of Idaho l. o. O. F. met
Tuesday morning in Nampa with near
" all the delegates and officers present.
Interesting reports were read showing
the growth and benefits Of the great or
der AS shown by the report Of Grand
Master W A. COughanour, printed cop
pies of which were furnished, the order
has enjoyed an unusual degree of pros
perity in Idaho during tn, past year.
1t now has 100 subordinate lodges in the
state, 81 Rebekahs, 43 Encampments,
and three Cantons.
In the report of Grand Secretary ID.
l.. Badley is found much interesting
data. The total membership IN the
state June 80, 1904, was 1876. Total re-
lief rendered during the past year, *l5,-
66l 2s Total receipts for the past year,
slOl ,23I s6, gain of $ls, ,22s.sO over the
previous year.
From the joint report of Grand Rep
resentative Robert Mobley and A. X.
membership of the order in the United
States is ,436, 1872 The total relief paid
out for the year 1903 was 81 1926, 500 10,
and the amount of invested funds OF
Grand and Subordinate lodges on jan
uary l, 1904, was s3e, ,999, 1923 80.
The following are the newly elected
officers
Frank Martin, Boise, grand master.
J. L. Chapman, Lewiston, deputy
grand master.
James Stevens, Blackfoot, grand war
den.
D. L. Bailey. Boise, grand secretary.
NJ B. Gwinn, Boise, grand treasurer.
Levi Mctiee. Grangeville, grand rep
resentative.
One of the important matters coming
before the grand lodge was the selection
of the next place of meeting. There
we're three candidates, Boise, Coeur
d'Alene and Lewiston. Couer d. 'Alene
led on the first ballot. After several
: ballots had been taken, Boise withdrew
and Lewiston was selected.
The order of Grand Master Coughan-
our excluding from membership saloor
men and gamblers was unanimously
sustained. The new grand master
Frank Martin, will see to it that this or
der is fully enforced.
At Thursdays session the officers who
we're elected Tuesday we're installed ane
Grand Master Frank Martin announced
the selection of the following as the ap
pointive officers of the grand lodge:
Grand Chaplin, George Hendy, Cald
we'll
Grand Marshal, c.. o. Matheson, Sal
mon City.
Grand Guardian. w. IL. Sherier, Boise
Grand Herald, Fred w. Walker, Wal
lace.
All the proposed amendments TO tn
constitution of the grand lodge were in
defnately postponed, with the singl
exception of that relating to the repre-
sentation in the grand lodge. The pres
ent representation of one delegate 70
every 30 members in a subordinat
lodge was changed TO one delegate 70
each 90 members.
The practice of subordinate lodges az
cepting applications for membershi
from the territory of another lodge wa
strongly discountenanced.
Resolutions of thanks to the citizer
of Nampa for their generous hospitalit
during the sessions of the grand lode
and its allied bodies were adopted. AS
journment was then had, many of II
delegates going to Boise TO attend ban
quet by the "Muscovites."

" " ~

While It is true Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and Texas invite tie Home
seeker and others in search OF a prof
liable investment and business COM
petency. there is another field along
the Frisco System quite recently
opened to those interested in a per-
sonal betterment OF financial re-
sources.
On June /, the line of railroad here
tofore known as the St. Louis, Mem
phis e. Southeastern tnow Frisco Sys'
tenn, was extended to St. Louis, thus
making a territory in Missouri and
Arkansas, along the west bank OF the
Mississippi River, accessible by way
of st. Louis.
The present service consists OF pas
senger train leaving Union Station
7:10 a. m. daily, for Cape Girardeau,
Luxora, charlottesville and interme'
date points to Memphis, also the
Cape Girardeau accommodation
daily, leaving Union Station 4:2O
p. m.
Some years since, perhaps a quar-
tier of century, this section was
avoided by reason of want OF develop
ment or progressiveness; now, how
ever, it is considered equal, as the
nomeseeker and investor may meas
ure. to Oklahoma, Indian Territory
Or Texas. The change in condition
throughout was accomplished by
large governmental expenditure, a
progressive people and extended rail
road facilities promoted and main
tained by the Frisco System, operat
.ng as it does, nearly 700 miles Of
.ailway in the immediate Mississippi
Valley, less than 300 miles distant
from st. Louis.
The soil is exceedingly fertile
crops invariably abundant, timber in
terests extensive and resourceful.

the display of fancy work, fish ponds

Not aLost HOG Story

But n Just Is good. Beats the
average aftermath from a blizzard all
to flinders. It's about Il watch-and
j.. IL. Wolf is carrying it to prove it,.
Two months ago during the harvest
on the Wolf farm young Warren
Smith was up from Platte visiting tie
VOLTS and out at the farm turning
somcrsaults IN n of the header
boxes. In his circus gyrations a nice
little watch that his father had pre-
sented him on his fifteenth birthday
was lost in the grain and went into
one of the stacks. Wednesday, in
threshing, Mr.. Wolf told Charley
Conyer to keep watch Of the grain
from this stack and if he found the
missing watch he'd give him a dollar
and he won his dollar. The watch
was not injured in any way, and War;
rem will prize 1T all the more now
after its adventure in a harvest field.
