MAMMOTH is WAITING.
Mine Said to BE i'll Elonrishing Con-
tlition Will, Immense Orc Reserves.

NltlO4l VIZ JtcSCTNES,
While the stock of the Mammoth
Mining company has not attracted
much attention Of late. stockholders arc
satisfied with the condition Of the ar
fairs of the company we'll knowing
that while no ore has been shipped
since last January, that the fact IS
owing wholly to the smelling conditions
which have made It inlpracticablc to
make satisfactory contracts. The mine
has been steadily developed during the
past year. and a large force OF men
employed. with the result that tho
Mammoth Is in possession of much
greater wealth than ever before.
The ore stored on the property result
ing from development work. and which
was broken down in the course of this,
represents great values in itself. and
the ore blocked out in n great measure
is said to be much higher grade than
that from which dividends have been
paid in the past.

THE PRICE Of WHEAT
WENT TO 81 CENTS
Bluestem Brought That Figure in the
Market During the Week.
Harvest Now in Progress and Fair Yield is Being Re-
ported New Hybrid Yields Better Than the
Varieties.

The wheat market has reached the
highest point touched in years during
the past week, Wednesdays quota
tions being from rs to 81 cents per
bushel, the former price being paid for
Red Russian and like grades, while
Bluestem and Forty Fold sold for 81
cents per bushel. No markets were
obtainable yesterday or today, but it
is evident that most excellent prices
will prevail during the season, as all
reports are for a strong market. From
Is to 80 cents is a most satisfactory
price in the Palouse country, and the
average producer is glad to contract at
those figures and not speculate on the
chance of better price or slump.
The harvest is now on at high pres
sure, thousands of acres being in the
shock. and the combines and threshers
are all being started up during the
past two or three days. The earlier
sown grain this season is much the
best, having matured before Bthe dry
weather made itself felt. The later
sown sprirg grain, especially late oats,
will be cut short by the lack of rain

brother thought nothing more of the
matter.
"On the day of the murder my
brother was driving along the road by
the West Fork when Phillips rode up.
My brother was in the wagon with Mr..
and Mrs. Colby. As Phillips rode up
he told my brother that he was going
to shoot, and my brother told him not
to, at the same time jumping from the
wagon. AS he did so the fatal shot
entered his side. His own gun, which
he had drawn when he saw that Phillips
meant to kill him, was fired in the air.
"The murderer then took the charges
out of my brother gun and rode away.
A posse of hundred men is now out
securing the mountains for him. but
up to date he has not been found. -

Sportsmen and Farmers Will Join
in Effort to Protect the Quail

The season when prairie chickens
can be legally hunted opens Saturday,

sharp tailed grouse known locally as

been exceptionally advantageous for
the rearing of the young, and it is ex-

newly Matched birds.
f TO take the place of the fast vanish

Brother Killed in Cold Blood, Says
J. B. Siebert, Formerly of this City

The killing of R. D. Siebert, at
Republic, on Saturday, July 25th, is
characterized as cold blooded murder
by j. B. Siebert, brother of the dead
man, who is now engaged in a hunt
for Chas. Phillips, the murderer.
"The statement published in the
papers that the murder was the out
come of a row on July is not true, -
said Mr.. Siebert. ''Phillips was
fiourishing a gun in a reck less manner
in Republic on the Fourth and at the
request of a deputy sheriff my brother
took it away from him and gave it to
the officers.
AT that time Phillips swore that
he would kill my brother, but later
sent word that it was all right. The
two men had been friends and my

giving continuous protection to the

through some oversight the closed per-
iod was not extended. so that under
the law there will be brief open per-
iod on quail commencing October lst.
But it is not the desire of either the
gentlemen who were instrumental in
bringing the quail here from Kansas,
or of the farmers under whose protec-
tion the quail have been since they
were brought in, that they be killed
after October lst, even though the law
makes it legal and they will there

protection the law makers failed to
give. The Evansville grange has in

Can Tax Moneys but Not Credits
is State Supreme Court Decision

The State Supreme Court has sus.
tanned the constitutionality of the act
of the last legislature exempting cred
its from taxation, but held invalid
that portion of the act which proposed
to exempt moneys.
The case comes from Lincoln County,
where a taxpayer brought suit to force
taxation of moneys and credits and
won a decision by the lower court that
the law was unconstitutional. Pecul-
iarly, on appeal both attorneys for the
property owner and the prosecuting
attorney for the county pleaded the
law was invalid.
Tax Commissioner J. H. Easterday,
father of the law, appeared in the Su-
preme Court as friend of the court
and presented his case both orally and
by brief.
James S. Howe, attorney for the
Seattle Electric company, also filed a
brief in the case attacking the law.
He appeared for the purpose of de-
manding reduction of assessments of
street railway taxes unless credits
were taxed, on the ground that the
constitution required all property to be
taxed alike.
The Supreme Court has sustained
Yesterdays contention as to credits,
which is about 80 per cent, money be-
ing about 10 per cent. The decision
