The complaint is general from the
prairie section regarding our unsat-
isfactory mail service. Mohler
people complain that the Herald is
now nearly week old before they
receive it, whereas they received it
the next day under the old schedule.
The Twice-a- Week Spokesman IS
also a day late. Our Cottonwood.
Grangeville, Sites. Kooskia. Kan
iah, Pierce City and Oro6no ex-
changes do not reach US until several
days later and the Elk City News
has been wiped out of existance. 1t
has happened every week since the
change that no Lewiston papers have
been received here from Sunday
morning until Wednesday morning,
making the public thoroughly dis
gusted with the present conditions.
passengers coming up from Lewiston
Monday states that the train left
Lewiston about 100 and did not
reach Vollmer until about 9 100, tax
ing about eight hours to run the 40
some miles This happens quite
frequently. The train carrying the
mail is mixed one and long stops
are made at each station to unload
freight. Conditions would still be
bad enough if the train left Lewiston
in The morning, but it would be so
far superior to the present service (
hat it would be considered a luxury. J

Last Friday the board of county
commissioners made an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for the Lewiston
Charleston fair. The fair associa-
ton had petitioned for $4,000, but
the commissioners evidently thought
there would be too big a roar from
the taxpayers if they appropriated
the amount asked for so they cut if
down so that the kick would be
correspondingly light-a $1,000 kick
instead of a $4,000 one. It is
puzzleto many people on the prairie
Why the commissioners can sppro-
pirate sums like the above when they
refuse TO award contracts for bridges
over such dangerous crossings as
the one at Lawyers canyon south Of
town. where two livery outfits have
been swept away, horses drowned,
rigs destroyed and the occupants on
the different occasions narrowly
escaped being drowned. Aside from
fair appropriations they are seeking
to burden the people with additional
taxation by having them vote S40,-
600 bonds for Jail improvements.
Let the prairie people carefully
study what they are receiving in re-
turn for the enormous amount Of
taxes they are paying. Ifthey think
they are getting value received,
good and well; if they think other
wise let them remedy it at the polls
this fall.

The pick and shovel held by the

which he stands. as well as the pieces
of ore scattered about his feet, all
indicate the chief occupation of the

mining interests Of Idaho. The

Idaho has game Law which protects
the elk and moose. The elk head
therefore rises above the shield.

The campaign this fall will be one
Of the most important in the history
Of Nez Perce county. There will be
many issues that will be brought

The question of women suffrage

that Idaho would eventually give
women the right to vote. and as min

Think it Over

When people want to throw their
money away, that is their business.
But when they get out to buy serv-
ice they have right to get honest re-
turn. Especially is this true in the
case of insurance, for in the time of
sickness and death, need is insistently
present. and not only must an insur-
ance company have good intentions,
but its ability to fulfill its contracts
must be absolutely perfect. There is
operating in this State a company
known as the Western Life and Acct
dent. of which the following is said
in the Insurance Report" Both be-
cause of the source of this informa-
ton and because OF the exhaustive
detail with which 1t is given. this cas-
tigation of the methods of the West
ern Company should be read by all OF
those who have either knowledge or
interest in this company;

Assets were found TO be sll.7s5,

incompetence abound. Some oil the
things censured by Mr.. Woolston are
as follows:
The company has In times past oh
