Their Protests to

Don't cut up dear old Nez Perez

scores Of prominent Lewiston citizens.
They have sent a protest to the coun-
ty representatives and senator at
Boise, and are circulating petitions OF
protest TO be forwarded when a goodly
number Of signatures have been se-
cured. "
! The following protest was last night
wired the Nez Perez solons at Boise:
| 1--WE hereby oppose the division Of
Mex Perce county and the segregation
OF any portion thereof to be created
into new counties, believing that the
majority of the taxpayers and citizens
Of thesproposed segregated districts. II
given an opportunity to express their
wishes, would be against the creation
Of any new counties within Nez Perce
until the lines Of proposed railroads
/ are definitely fixed to determine the
center of population for the purpose
or establishing county seats.
Ask Withholding Of Action.
Furthermore the taxes in these
segregated districts would necessarily
be enormous to raise SUFFICIENT funds
for the creation of the counties. estab-
fishing OF their governments, salaries
Of county officers and building Of
county courthouses, jails and SO forth
i I'VE kindly ask you NO withhold
further action until the people Of thi.
county can be heard from through pc.

Stands for Prohibition.

Editor Record: d:-'Whom the Gods
would destroy they first maS
1t is passing strange that just now
when all good people of this beauti-
full Southland are enacting restrictive
measures to curtail the saloon power,
our own town is letting down the bars
to let in those driven out elsewhere.
Can it be that some systematic scheme
is being worked from without to i'm
pair. and if possible destroy our nice
little city?
The fact that we are on the eve of
an election to vote bonds for making
this city what it rightfully ought to
be, and then to have the city council
reduce by half one of the chief sources
of income, points that way. For mark
my word, the bond issue asked for
will be defeated.
Yes, l am truly glad for the brave
stand you are taking on this question.
l hope the people as whole appre-
ciate the value of a newspaper true
to their best interests.
Yours for prohibition.

The paranoiac imagines ne is be

He is more interested in doing his

pleased generally. The remainder of
the program, which preceded the lee
ture. was under the direction of Miss

able in every respect. A quartet, COM
posed of Messrs. Hedgcoxe, Weather
