Latah After the Potlatch.

Hungry citizens, of Latah
county are casting ravenous eyes
in the direction of a rich section
of Nez Perez county. Under the
lead of the Commercial club of
Moscow, they are petitioning the
legislature to cut a liberal slice
from Nez Perez and add it to
Latah. The territory wanted
includes the Big Potlatch ridge
and a strip to Arrow Junction
between the south side of Latah
county and Pin Rock on the
Clearwater. This would include
Leland, Southwick, Cameron and
Cavendish.
A large signed petition is now
in the hands of Senator Day, of
Latah county, asking for this
concession. Senator Mitchell is
lying in wait for this petition
with his firearms cooked and
primed. 1t goes without saying
that Nez Perez will not surren-
der this territory without a des-
perate fight.
During the day a bill providing
for an annual license of $4,000
for each wholesale liquor house,
backed by the "dry" element,
was referred on motion to the
very wet" mines and mining
committee, amid peals of laugh
ter.
Representatives Bell and Nor
gan introduced a bill asking for
an appropriation of $4,000 to
build the north wing of the adj
ministration building of the Uni
versity of Idaho at Moscow.
Black, of Kootenai, launched d
bill appropriating $718 to the re-
lief of F. A. Blackwell, of Occur
d'Alene.
The house spent the greater
part of the day debating the bill
closing billiard halls at 10 p. M,
and prohibiting boys under 81
entering them. 1t was recon-
mitted.

by Rev. Father Baerlocher in the
presence of a large number of
friends and relatives. The bride
wore a handsome gown of gray
and her bridesmaid, Jennie
Wassmuth, was also dressed in
gray. The groom and his best
man, Henry Schmidt, wore the
conventional black. During the
services the pastor, Father Baer-
locher, delivered an unusually
eloquent and touching sermon.
After the ceremony the bridal
couple, with the invited guests,
repaired to the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Schmidt, parents of
the bride, where the usual we'd
ding festivities were held. Con-
CALCULATIONS were in order now
and the presents piled up all
around were a sight pleasing to
behold, for both the young peo-
pie were highly respected and
popular wherever they went.
Some very flattering remarks
concerning the. excellent dinner
and supper served were heard
and the dance lasted until the
wee small hours of morning,
sure proof that everyone was en-
joying the occasion. Unfortu-
nately Mr.. Schmidt was almost
suddenly taken ill with a threat
ened attack of pneumonia and
his cheerful. jolly face was great
ly missed, but with no thought
of his own comfort he insisted
that everybody make merry and
enjoy themselves to their heart s
content. Mr.. Schmidt is report
ed some better this morning and
his friends hope he will soon be
himself again. -Greencreek Cor

a considerable slice of Nez Perez

The third county bill appeared
