SUGAR FOR ELK TEETH.
Eastern Man Writes Harry Morris OF
His Idea of Their Cheapness in
in The West.

Elks teeth, the most sacred and
treasured possession of members of the
B. p. o. E., are obtainable in this Sec
ton of Idaho for wee bit of tobacco
or little sugar or smack of this or
that, judging from the tone of letter
| received recently by Conductor Harry
Morris of the Grangeville line, who is
member of the Lewiston lodge No.
S96. The letter comes from "away
back in old lndiana,o South Bend, to
be exact, where there resides a member
of the order who visited Grangeville
about two years ago, spending about
two months at the home of friend.
1t was while at the home of this friend
that discussion relative to the value
and scarcity of elk IS teeth was enter
ed upon, and the Grangeville resident
spoke about the fine collection of teeth
held by Conductor Morris.
On his return to South Bend the
letter is evidence that he took up the
qestion of securing a supply of the teeth
for South Bend Elks, for the epistle
contain passage as follows.
81 heard of the many beautiful Elk
teeth you collected on the railroad. in
fact, saw them. l mentioned the mat
ter to friend in South Bend who had
hobby for collecting Elks' teeth,
as well as to many others, and have
been requested to write and ask you
if you wish to dispose of them. Elks ,
teeth are naturally scarcity in the
east, therefore you can get better
price for them in the east than you can
in the west. If you care to sell the
teeth let me know. AS you get them
from the Indians for little tobacco or
sugar, ETC., you can realize good pro-
fit by selling them here.''
Conductor Morris is aware, as are all
members of the Elks, that elks' teeth
when purchased direct from Lo are
just about as expensive as when obtain
ed from the most elaborate jewelry
stores. The Indians of this day well
know that elk are fast disappearing or
under careful protection, and that the
animals teeth as q natural result are
more scarce and in greater demand
than at any time in the past. Hence,
according to the rules Of commercial
lism, the price Of the teeth 60 skyward,
and how well Poor Lo knows the status
of the present-day market.

"In 1911 the tax rate for state pur-

have levied for the general fund four

interest and sinking fund one and
two-tenths mills, making the total for
the state levy of six mills as against
one-half of that amount in 1911. We
raised this year on the public building

terest and sinking fund $2O0,S41.96.
The amount that we need in the
