The big city is certainly entitled to

To Appeal Liquor Cases

The recent United States supreme
court decision, by which an opinion
was rendered affecting the sale Of
liquor to Indians who hold property
in severalty, has aroused much in
terest in this section of the country.
In a recent opinion Federal Judge
Beatty at Moscow held that the
opinion of the supreme court was
not applicable to the Indians of Nez-
perez reservation.
Attorney F. E. Fogg, of Lewiston,
who defended those accused of in
PRODUCING liquor on the Nezperce
reservation at the recent term of
court, expressed himself As follows
when asked for an opinion covering
the points of the case;
"Is the Nezperce reservation part

looks foolish, doesn't it3 Yet the
Indian department for the last ten

men who earn all the way from
eighteen to forty dollars a week who
get over half their supplies from

They buy their clothing, dresses,
groceries, supplies of all kinds be-
cause they can buy them cheaper;
in many instances but few cents

That is the way they look at it.

Refused to Close Contract.

The commissioners for the Hur.
ricane Greek Swamp Land Dis
trict did not let out the contract
for dredging the canal, for the
reason that the one bid submitted
was, in their opinion, too high. 1t
was expected that several con-
tractors would be present to bid
on the work, but such was not
the case.
j. S. Oliver offered to do the
work for Is cents a cubic yard,
but the commissioners refused 10
close the contract at that price,
deciding to wait several days be-
fore doing so.
1t is thought that II cents a
cubic yard would be a reasonable
price for the work.
