During the past week the county
fathers have been kept mighty busy
passing out bills, drawing the jurors
for 1911 and on road matters. In
fact today finds the work almost COM
.pleted after an exceedingly short
SESSION, considering the great amount
of work that always comes before a
new board at its first session.
The matter of selecting county
physician was settled the last of the
week through the selection of DR.. G..
f. Stockton for that place.
A visit to the poor farm was made
the first of the week and everything
found in good shape. As Mr.. Dyers,
who has charge of the farm, has q
contract for another year, things viii
remain as they are for another year.
Yesterday the Free Press was Sc
lected as the official paper for tn,
coming two years and today roa,
matters are being taken up.
While every !, member of th'
board is a new one, the work ha
gone forward in manner credible t.

Too Much Taxation.

E. H. Sohm, through his attorney,
Finis Bentley has asked relief of the
county commissioners Of Nez Perce
and Idaho counties from over-taxaa
ton, occasioned by a disputed county
boundary line between Westlake and
Morrowtown. 1t appears that Sohm
owns the land including a portion of
Willow creek, and this stream is des-
ignated as the county boundary line.
1t was stated by Mr.. Bentley that
Mr.. Sohn's holdings aggregated 3S7
acres, while the records of the two
counties show that he is being taxed
for 4S7 acres. The error has been
occasioned by the frequent changes
in the course Of Willow creek and the
commissioners were asked to arrange
meeting with the Idaho commits
sioners for the purpose Of establishing
a permanent county boundary line
by section and quarter-section lines.
1t is probable such relief will be afor
ded and the legislature will be asked
to change the boundary line Of the
counties at this point to conform witt
the recommendation OF the commits
sioners,

His Own Step-Father.

Recent returning federal officials to
Boise from the north report an inter-
esting situation in relationship among
Nez Perce Indians.
John Hill, an Indian, married a
Nez Perce Indian woman and to them
several children were born.
Tom Hill, son Of John Hill by a
former marriage, then eloped with and
married, by Indian custom, his fathers
wife, or in other words his mother
(step-mother.)
To this union three children were
born. As result it would now ap-
pear that Tom Hill is the father (step-
father) of his brothers and sisters and
at the same time is half brother Of
his own children, and being the hus.
band of his mother he must now be
his own step father. This is the net
result Of Indian marriages.

Buys Block in Lewiston.

The following item from the Teller

$4,000 worth of business property
in that city last week by a prominent
Idaho county business man:

Cottonwood business man, has closed

the heart of the business district and
is regarded as one of the choicest
Main street sites in the city.
Mr.. Goldstone purchased the prop
erty as an investment and not as a
speculation, and declares that he be-
lieves that real estate holdings in
Lewiston will show a marked advance

Now "kamiah County,"

A bill, having for its purpose the
creation Of a new county from terri
tory in Idaho and Nez Perce county,
the said county to be known as Ram
iah county, was introduced in the
legislature last week and friends Of
the measure feel much confidence in its
passage.
The move is being fathered by
business men of kamiah and other
Clearwater towns and it is stated
there will be little if any objection to
the creation of the proposed cd6nty
from the citizens of either Idaho or
Nez Perce. Atty. Lee Of Moscow,
who has been retained to work for the
the bill in speaking Of the probable
outcome of the many county division
schemes that will come up at this
session said:
"As to the county division, / be-
lieve the legislature will create some
new counties. The members recog
nize the Justice Of the claims of the
proposed counties, and realize the
great injustice in forcing the citizens
to 60 from seventy-five to one hun
dred and fifty miles to the county
seats to attend courts, do jury duty
pay taxes and do all other things tha
one has to do at the seat of govern
ment of his county.
II believe that Kamiah county viii
be established at this session. Kan
iah county has every valid argumen
on it's side and there can be no valiC
objection to such a county"

cane. While about half of the worlds
sugar is made from beets, most of it
is produced in Europe and consumed
in the country Of production or in
other parts of that grand division,
while most of the world outside of
Europe obtains its sugar supply from
cane, grown of course. In the tropical
and subtropical sections. OF the cane
sugar which we consume, most of that
coming from foreign countries is drawn
from Cuba, the Dutch East Indies,
and smaller amounts from the West
Indias, Mexico, Central and South
America. All of that coming from
our own islands-Porto Rico, Hawaii,
and the Philippines cane sugar,
while of the domestic product about
40 per cent is produced from cane.
The beet sugar of the United States
is grown chiefly in Colorado, Califor-
MIA and Michigan, and some in Utah,
Idaho, and Wisconsin; while most of
the cane sugar is produced in Louisia-
ma, with smaller quantities in Texas,
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina
The sugar ''habit' is evidently a
growing one with the people of the
United States and probably with
those of other countries, since the
total world production of sugar, in
cluding all countries for which statls-
tics are available, has increased sc
per cent in the last decade and about
doubled in Is years. In our own
case the consumption has shown a
rapid growth, the per capita consump
ton having been, in 1880, 40, pounds
in 1890, 81 pounds; in 1900, 5s
pounds; and in 1910, approximately
81 pounds.
What is the cost of this enormou.
quantity of sugar consumed in the
United States? This is more difficult
to answer. The valuation of thai
| brought from foreign countries ant
our islands is set down at about II;
million dollars in 1910, and th'
stated value of that produced in th'
United States, at approximately Z,
million dollars; though this compare
lively high figure when considered b,
the price per pound, is due to tn
fact that the valuation is based upol
the refined article, while that Of tn
sugar from abroad is the value of th
unrefined article in the country Q
production. If, however, we except
general average q ) cents per poun
as the retail price paid by our peopl
for the Il billioa pounds Of suga
consumed by them in 1910, we shoul
get a total Of 100000, or a
average Of approximately 100000
a day paid for sugar by the people {
the United States.

Claims Fraud.


at Lewiston last week, John M.
kier, of this city, charges fraud and
misrepresentation against j. f. Jack
son on a contract involving the trade
Of farm lands, personal property and
livestock in Nez Perce county, owned
by Kier, for a blacksmith and ma
chine shop and the site on which the
shops are located. The kiel proper
ty, according to the complaint, was
valued at $4,000, of this value
81, 100 being represented in the land.
A section Of the complaint says:
''That to induce plaintiff to make
said exchange the defendant falsely
and fraudulently represented to the
plaintiff that the income from the
said machine and blacksmith shop
was and had been during the years
defendant had owned the same from
$4,000 to $4,000, making clear
profit Of $4,000 a year; that in the
spring of 1910 he fitted up two tons of
horse shoes and used nearly all Of
them by November l, 1910; that it
required two practical men during the
winter months to take care of the
business, in addition to his own labor;
that the work brought to him from
one stage line amounted to 500 per
month; that from November ] to
September ! Of the first year he owned
said shops he cleared off of said bust
ness $1,700 and paid off mortgage
Of that amount.
The complaint then cites that the
defendant did not do business Of
$4,000 or $4,000 a year, or any
sum near that amount, and that the
representations had been made for the
purpose Of defrauding. The com
plant then continues: The plaintiff
is informed and believes and alleges
that defendant did not fit up two tons
of horseshoes in the spring Of 1910,
nor did he fit up any greater amount
than 1000 pounds, nor did the defen-
dant use two tons of horseshoes during
the year Of 1910; that it did not take
two practical men besides defendant
to do the work that came to the shops
during the winter months; that the
work brought from one stage line die
not amount to 500 per month; o.
greater amount than $40 or SIS PEE
month; that he did not clear off O
said business in 10 months 81, ,7Ol
and pay off a mortgage in that amoun
, that was against said property th'

deed to his land and other property
to be delivered to Jackson when thu
latter had paid off two mortgages
given by d. r. Atherton against th'
blacksmith shop for $1,000 in favo
