some peculiarly Of the soil, climate
or topography, thus Kamiah got its
name. In the Nez Perez Indian
language 1t means "winter resort"
For untold generations the Indians
each fall after big hunt returned
to Kamiah to enjoy the mild winter
climate. A climate which the rigid
blasts of winter storms did not
touch. They could be comfortable
in their tepees OF hides or bark,
and their cayuses could easily gain
substance from the surrounding
fats and benches. Even during
the dead of winter when the sdjoin-
ing heights and prairies we're en-
shrouded in mantle of white. the
Kamiah valley lay bare, and often
the sun would send down its shafts
of light and warmth 10 bring ioy
and happiness to the inhabitants.
Later when the encroachments of
the white man demanded more
land and the Indians relinquished
their right to the reservation, taking
their land IN severalIty they held
the Hannah fats in a solid block,
and on the opening day many a
race was made by the whites TO Sc
cure a tract OF the low elevation
that overlooked the valley proper.
Some got full quarter, some
eighty acres, others forty, and there
is one instance where less than ten
acres were homesteaded, and is still
held and cultivated.
When the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Co. built the Clearwater
branch business was SO good that
whites were very anxious for bust.
ness o;ations, and as land could
not be bought, il was leased from
the Indians for a period of five
years, with the agreement that they
would leave all improvements TO
the indians at the expiration of the
leases. During this time the bust
ness men were trying TO secure their
own town site, hut only heir ship
land could be sold and the Indians
were loath to give il up. The
leases expired this fall and some
thing had to be done. The rents
were very high and the Indians were
going to raise them, as they would
then own the buildings. Early in
the year town site company was
organized, and succeeded in buying
town site Of half breed. On the
first of September they had their
deed, the town laid out and ready
for building. Rapidly the new
buildings went up and our own
town OF Kamiah presents quite an
animated appearance, and is The
banner town of the Clearwater
valley. The new town is not as
near the depot as the old town, but
are only about half mile from the
station, with a straight road and a
good side walk.
These Indian S are very friendly
and we enjoy going to their church,
and special gatherings. We atten-
ded their camp meeting and Fourth
of July services, and / never en-.
joyed Fourth of July program as
much in my life. We also took
dinner with them on the following
day. 1t was an OK roast and free
dinner. Over 600 Indians dined
besides few whites who were
special guests.
We are enjoying the best of
health, prosperity and happiness IN
our new western home.

office TO-DAY with the Endorsement OF

COUNTY WILL De
VERY MUCH
RICHER
If the Ruling Of State Auditor
Amos, REGARDING Commits
SiOnerS, Holds.

Escambia county will be richer by
several thousand dollars, provided the
ruling of State Auditor Amos hold
good. This is to the effect that a
county commissioner cannot draw
from the county more than 800 per
year. This ruling was made known
some weeks ago, and the present
Board of County. Commissioners i'm
mediately returned to the treasury all
in excess of the 500 which they had
drawn, and which ACCOUNTED in itself
to a neat sum. This was paid, how
ever. under protest, and the matter
called to the attention Of the govern
or. as the board does not construe the
law as does the state auditor.
Not only were the members Of the
present board called upon to make
good. but members of the old board.
Some of these have exceeded the 800
limit by large amounts, the refund
demanded in one or two instances
IGdCuluS ONCl POOO. AL VI LlC OAu
members have signified their inten-
sion of making good the amounts due
the county, but so far have not done
so. The question which is now dis
cussed by members of the board, as
we'll as others, is how far back does
this ruling extend, and how many pre-
v!ous boards does it cover. If it in
cludes more than the two boards men
toned it will have the effect of bring
ing more former commissioners into
the matter and more money into the
county treasury.
1t has always been the custom when
a commissioner went out into his dis
trict to inspect roads and bridges or
to look after county business that he
be allowed per diem and mileage for
his work. but under the ruling OF the
state auditor this must not exceed
500 per annum. The commissioners
however do not believe the ruling to
be a correct one, and think that the
governor will set the matter right.
