GOOD ROADS At
REASONABLE COST
COMMISSIONERS CHANGE time
LIMIT and CONTRACTORS
PROMISE LOWER BIDS.

Too late in the season to finish
thelr work before the expiration of
the time limit was the reason given
by the three bidders for making their
figures so high for the construction
OF permanent roads No. l and No. 2
IN this county. The bids were opened
by the county commissioners last
week.
Road No. l is at Garfield and COW
ers distance of three miles and 485
feet. Engineer ]. NJ McCaw's esti-
mate of the cost of this road, incIud-
ing 10 per cent for contractors S
profit, was $4,000. Three bids were
submitted as follows: O. H. STRAIT
ton of Spokane, $25,O79.4O; f. J..
Byrne of Garfield, $26,795; Wilson
Bailey Construction Company of
North Yakima, $28,O1O.
Only two bids were received for
the construction of improved road
No. 2 out Of COlfax. This strip of
road is one mile and 800 feet in
length and the county engineers es-
innate of the cost was $S4O0. STRAIT
tons bid was for $9982 while the
Bailey Construction company sub
mitted bid of $10,382.
0. H. Stratton, the lowest bidder,
IS an old contractor and is well
known in this city, where he former
ly lived and where he has done con-
siderable work. The Wilson Bailey
Construction company has had much
experience in grading contracts. E.
I ho
successful farmer with a fund of
general experience although he has
never built any macadam road.
After careful considering the diff
ferent bids the board of county COM
missioners extended the time limit
for the completion of the work until
November, 1912, and readvertise for
bids. Bidding on different parts of
the grading work was by the yard
and the figures given above are
based on the engineers estimate of
the work.
1t is probable that II or 13 miles
of macadam roads will be construct
ed in the county next year if the
plans as outlined at the present time
are carried out About $4,000 is
now available for this work and
nearly as much more will be avail
able next year.
Spokane county has been one of
the leaders in the construction of
improved roads and it is estimated
that $4,000 will be expended in
the work there next year. In that
county under similar conditions as
exist in this county, one mile of
road was improved at a cost of
$8230.

Sister TAKES BOY
FROM JAIL To HOME
YOUTH HAD FALLEN INTO Rad
COMPANY--OTHER YOUNG DE-
LINQUENTS BEFORE COURT.

Juvenile cases have been figuring
prominently in court during the past
week. Discretion has been exercised
on the part OF Judge Thomas Neill
and some of the young delinquents
have been sent TO the state training
school and others turned over to
their parents.
Allen Johnson, the 16 year old
boy arrested with George Miller for
the st. John hold-up, was turned
over to his sister, Miss Ruth John
son, who came from her home in
Stillwell, Mimi, to rescue the way
ward brother. When arrested Mil
Ter and Johnson were dividing the
money taken from three men whom
Miller had held up. Young Johnson
had taken no part in the robbery and
was getting only the small change.
When arrested the boy gave his
name as Jackson. Miller plead
guilty to committing the robbery
and was sentenced to the peniten-
tiaTy for a term of not less than five
years nor more than eight years.
After the sister arrived it was ar
ranged that the boz should change
his plea Of not guilty of robbery to
guilty OF incorrigibility. He was
then sentenced to the state training
school and sentence was suspended
with the understanding that he was
to accompany his sister to their
home in Minnesota where he is 10
attend school for a year. His par
enJs are also TO make a report to
Judge Neill every month concerning
the youth. The brother and sister
left for their home in the east Mon
day afternoon.
Louis LOpeman, lad IA years of
age living in the Thornton country,
was brought into court the latter
part of last weeK by his mother and
as juvenile delinquent was sent to
the state training school to stay un-
til he is 8 years of age. A few
weeks ago he entered Hollis store at
Thornton and stole small quantity
of candy and gum.
Eugene Henry, Pullman youth,
who has been on probation for the
past two years, was before the court
again last week for being mixed up
in burglary committed in Clarkson
Brothers store a few weeks ago.
He was released but is still on pro-
baton. He is now at work in one of
the warehouses at Pullman.
Three small boys from Butte have
been held in the county Jail for the
last ten days waiting for action on
the part of Butte authorities Trans
pOrtatiOn has been sent for one of
the boys and it is expected that all
will soon be returned to their homes.
The bows were arrested for breaking
into a house at TekOa.

PHIL COX TALKS ON WORLDWIDE CROP CONDITIONS

P. W. Cox returned Monday even
ing from Shawnee, Okla, where he
was a delegate to the annual meet
ing of the National Farmers union
and was elected one of the directors.
Mr.. Cox reports the Farmers union
steadily growing in strength and the
time not far distant when the farm
ers will have something to say about
the sale of the products which they
have brought into existance and the
profits thereon. The Farmers union
is fighting to cut out what they call
waste In handling between the pro-
ducer and consumer. According to
statistics the farmers produced nine
billion dollars last year and the
same products cost the consumer
thirteen billions. 1t is the aim Of
the union to reduce this big differ
ence and bring back to the farmer
the proportion of wealth to which

WHITMAN LOSES BY
TAX COMMISSION
ERROR DEPRIVES COUNTY OF TWO
YEARS TAXES-.-THE LOSS
is S26,73S.

Because the state tax commission
overstepped its authority in 1903
and raised the assessed valuation af-
ter the adjournment of the state
board OF equalization Whitman
county has lost S26,-2S in interest.
1t is the duty Of the AK commission
to fix the assessed valuation of rail
roads, but that duty must be per
formed before the assessments have
been eqUaliZed by the state board Of
equalization, according to a recent
decision OF the supreme court.
In 1908 the tax commission in
creased the assessment of the O.-W
K. n. company in Whitman county
to such an extent that the railroad
cOmpany's tax was raised to S223.-
624 or $73 ,401 more than it would
have been under the assessment as
already equaliZed for that year. The
railway company refused to paw
their taxes on the increased assess
ment, although they offered TO paw
on the old basis. The matter was
carried to the supreme court and the
railway company won out.
iCdSuIeI w. NJ. duncan this
week received notice of the decision,
also letter from the railroad peo-
pie expressing their willingness to
pay the same amount which they
offered two years ago. At that time
their taxes amounted to $3.50, ,223.62
OF which the county has been de-
prived the use for two years.
Many road and school districts
and the general expense fund of the
county have been in debt all this
time because of the non-receint Of
the railroad taxes and the loss in in
terest has amounted to $26,73S.
The $150,223.62 which the O.-W.
r. & n. company is now ready to
pay will put many districts and
funds out of debt and on cash
basis again
Whitman county has already raid
the state several thousand dollars in
taxes on the increased valuation
placed on the railroad by the state
tax commission and il is ar omen
question as 70 whether this amount
will be refunded by the state or not.

ANOTHER TEACHER ADDED.
Enrolment Has Increased Steadily
Since Opening Day.

Crowded condition in the fifth
grade has made ii necessary to en-
gage another teacher for the Colfax
schools. Mrs. r. X. Anderson has
been secured TO teach the fifth grade
in the departmental school. When
school opened last week that grade
in the Main street school was over
crowded and as the pupils lived at so
great distance from the Third ward
school it was deemed advisable to
make new division and secure an
other teacher. Present conditions in
the grade are ideal for individual at
tentiOn and the best work. Each
teacher now has about 25 pupils.
New students are constantly enter
ing school and the enrolment in the
high school has increased from 141
week ago, to 147. Several more
new students are expected in the next
few days. In the grades many new
students have enrolled since the
opening day.

he is entitled. In 1860 farmers
owned four-sevenths Of the wealth
Of the country and now they own
only one-siXth Of it.
In discussing present market con-
ditions and prices with Gazette
representative Mr.. Cox said, Il
think the farmer is in strong posi-
tion If he has money enough TO get
along. The crop in Kansas, which
was estimated early in the season at
80,000,000 bushels, has proved TO
be only 50,000.000. Russia was re-
ported to have an average crop but
it is turning out to be under the
average. Argentine is not as strong
as reported. The Canadian crop is
not harvested and what effect II will
have on the export trade is un-
known. The English market has
hardened and altogether the out
look is good for the farmer with
little money"
