Shah of Persia Afraid of the
Power of Clergy Over the
Lower Classes.

Teheran, Aug. 1.-The shah has
granted the demands of the people for
reforms. Refugees who sought the pro-
lection of the British legation, with the
exception of 200 who have personal
claims, have left the legation, and the
mullahs, who fed from Teheran, are
returning Illuminators In honor of the
new order of things have been ordered
throughout the country.
The reforms which are announced in
a ukase signed by the shah and made
public today include the creation of a
council of state with consultative
rights, to consist of fifty members,
partly elected from all classes, includ-
ing the clergy but excluding the peas
ants.
The shah evidently was afraid to
take this action owing to the power OF
combination of the clergy.
The capital is quieter and the shops
are reopening.
London, Aug. ia Persian official
here, in an interview today, said that
the granting of a constitution to Persia
was one of the effects of the Russian
Ipheaval. The economic distress in
Persia also played no small part in
creating the desire for some measure
OF political freedom.

The Milwaukee will cross the state

PAY. TAXES
Delinquent List This
Year Less Than
IS per Cent.

Less than / yer cent of the taxes
OF Nez Perce county have gone de-
linquent. This is the conclusion just
reached by Assessor Daggett. and the
figures that he bases his report upon
are as follows:
The footings OF taxes show that
the collections Of 1905 taxes for all
purposes. state. county. municipal
and special, aggregated s222,233.42,
and the total charged against the
collector for these accounts was $751;
147.72. which represents the delin-
quest tax roll and Is little less than
Is per cent of the total tax levy.
Mr. Daggett has just completed the
work of issuing the receipts for the
last few days OF December, when the
taxes rolled i'm so fast that the entire
office force was buried and could not
possibly issue receipts TO meet the de-
mands. This can be appreciated when
it Is known that on the 30th day Of
December alone, the last day of pay
ment, there was received in the office
taxes to the amount of $92.65S.70.
The clerical force of the office has
been engaged ever since in issuing re-
ceipts and checking the payment of
this money. Mr.. Daggett says today
that II will still be a week before this
money is apportioned to the several
funds and duly turned over to the
treasurer.

tion Of $1,000 mile on the estimate ed

general election can be held. are desig-
mated as follows: H. r. Williams,

Coming Down Clearwater.
The definite limits within which the
Milwaukee will cross the state extend
practically from the northern border
of Latah county to the southern border
of NeZ Perce county. This takes in
all the passes that lead into the head
waters of the North and Middle forks
of the Clearwater and with the esti-
mated distance of $50 moles makes a
practical certainty that the route
chosen will be that leading down one
or the other of these forks, via Lewis
ton TO the coast.
This conclusion Is further strength
ened by the movement making Lewis
ton the principal place Of business for
the road and choosing one of Lewis
toms prominent attorneys as an in
corporator and as it's attorney for the
state.
