little opposition and with very few
exceptions the desired options have
been readily secured. They qex-
pect to finish their work this week

spring; there is considerable rock
work that can be begun at once Al
it will require but little equipments.
The survey over which the right ol
way is being secured runs from

then follows the water shed be

Court Of Appeals It San Francisco So
Decides.
WILL PUT An BID TO "BoOTLECGlIG'
VIII Also Affect Transports
ton of Liquor to This
County.

The Nez Perce Indian reservation
will no longer be an attractive field
for bootleggers. The circuit court
Of appeals ct San Francisco has by
its decision placed the reserva-
tion under state control and licen-
ses to sell liquor there will be
granted by the county authorities
the same as at any other point.
The decision rendered was in the
Dick case, where the defendant
was convicted in the federal court
at Moscow Of introducing liquor on
the reservation. Dicks attorneys,
G. w. Tannahill and F. E. Fogg,
carried the case to the court OF
appeals where it was reversed and
Dick ordered discharged. The
result is far-reaching in it's effect
az heretofore no saloons we're al
lowed on the reservation, and the
several towns in that territory
were infested with bootleggers who
made no end Of trouble for both
local and federal authorities. Be.
sides, all liquor used in Grange.
vile had to be hauled overland from
Lewiston. as it could not be trans
ferred from railroad cars to wagons
at Sites, that town being on thu
reservation. Saloons will undOub
tedly be opened at once in all o.
the reservation towns and it il
estimated that the money received
from licenses issued in those place'
will aggregate fully $40, 900. Vi
to this time no license could b.
granted in these towns, and whil'
they had to contend with all th'
bad effects of liquor selling the.
were unable to get the advantage
Of the license money.
The decision il generally wei
coined by business men as it !
believed q better class Of men viii
get hold Of the liquor business an
much Of the trouble originating il
"bootlegging joints will cease.

This Dream Won Out.
Brooklyn Eagle.

- oiCOhiSll GdSiS.
One reason why truth is stranger
than fiction is that makers of fiction
generally try to be plausible, while
truth is never hampered by any such
consideration. Here, for instance. is
a true story. No reasonably expert
fiction writer would think of concoct-
ing so improbable yarn.
A Brooklyn man whom we may as
well call Smith-the Smiths are all
so used ITO it they probably won't
mind Smith dreamed a policy
gig one night not long ago. The num-
bers were SO deeply impressed on his
mind that he remembered them when
he awoke and told thm to a relative
at the breakfast table;
Give me quarter,' said the rela-
tive half in fun, and I will play the
gig today
Smith tossed over a quarter to him
and the matter dropped from his
mind
That afternoon a knowing horse
man gave Smith dead sttaight tip.
1t was the st1rest thing ever, and
good long shot, so Smith borrowed
fifty and lost it on the horse
That evening on his way home he
passed a cigar store where he usu-
ally stopped. He concluded that with
only 80 cents in his pocket, he'd bet
ter smoke his pipe after dinner.
Give me a quarter said his rela-
tive, after the evening meal, ''T'll give
you a good cigar
But Smith went on filling up the
old pipe.
'*Well, give me a quarter and 7
won't give you good cigar" the rel
ative insisted.
"I've no quarters to spare,' Smith
answered morosely. He was dread
fully in the dumps. He had promised
to pay the $50 next day and had no
idea how he was going to raise it.
"Give me a quarter I tell you,' the
relative demanded, Il must have it,
"Oh. we'll if it's as bad as that"

The matter Of having standard set
of weights and measures for the coun-
ties of this state is still being con-
sidered by the governor. A letter has
been received from one of the county
officials stating that standard weights
and measurers are badly needed, and
the law providing for them should be
enforced. The cost of these weights
is paid out of the county fines.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-11-28

and Smith flung the silver piece
across to him.
"There," sa1d the relative, now
you are entitled to half the winnings.
I put dollar on your dream gig to-
day and it won an even hundred"
He handed 5000 out to Smith and
the incident was closed. Every one
of Ghe three numbers he had dreamed
had won.
Now don't tell me that is a good
story. 1t isn't. 1t is merely true
story. If l hadn't been prevented by
facts I could have made a much more
plausible Yam of it, but it wouldn't
have been so strange"
