Where Are We Drifting To7

Not since the Blaine Cleveland cam
paign have such dirty. malicious false
hoods been circulated as have been
! sent ont this year calculated 60 arouse
prejudice against Pres Taft. The
dirt this campaign has been OF a relig.
ious nature, so vile that no person with
grain of common sense or decency
would for one moment think seriously
OF il.
Among the circulars that were sent
ont on the quiet lately is one claiming
TO contain the oath of the knights OF
Columbus, fraternal insurance society
withtn the Catholic church. A clrcR-
lar came 10 Crystal Falls last week
from the copper country where they
were assiduously circulated, one person
being reported to have received B 900
for secret distribution
Most of the language OF this vile
document is too raw TO publish but we
take excerpts from the alleged oath so
that our readers may get an idea OF the
extent to which this vulgar campaign
has gone
The circular is headed knights Of
Columbus Catn, 4th degree

We print this simply that those who
do not know Of the underhand methods
being pursued may become acquainted
with them and that the iair minded
people of all creeds, parties or pursua.
sions may frown down upon any such
methods or any attempt TO mix relig-
ion with politics in any way.

On Booze Roundup.

Deputy United States Marshals
Crowder of North Yakima, Wash,
and Holgate of Culdesac are making
a special roundup Of the Nez Perez
reservation in search Of frewater,
and on Tuesday paid this city their
respects. They visited the two drug
stores here and found some alcohol,
which they took charge of along
with several bottles OF bitters that
seemed to contain more or less al
cohol. They also passed the time Of
day with some Of our citizens, but
whether they really CLEANED from
them anything worth while We we're
unable to learn.
The druggists maintained they
kept little alcohol in stock for
compromising medicines. but it seems
the officers interpret the reservation
laws as prohibiting the keeping Of
supply even for this.

LESS THAN
FIVE Per CENT.


Assessor Ratliff finds in making
his final totals on the Lewis county
taxes collected for 1911 that the
amount collected up to Dec. 80 was
$1O8, 042.3S and the total amount
standing unsolicited on the delin-
quent tax roll is s4,594.71 or about
At per cent.
This is undoubtedly the smallest
tax delinquency in any county in
the state. And as some indication of
the scarcity of poor land in the
county, it is noted that the taxes on
only three farms within its borders
went delinquent; a very large per
cent of the the unpaid tax being
on personal property.
Verify, Lewis county is making a
showing all along the line that is at
tracing praise and favorable com
ment from far and near, and that is
making her citizens more and more
proud of their residence within her
borders.

A crowded house witnessed the
comedy, "what Happened to Par
kerr" presented al the opera house
last Thursday evening by the junior
class of the high school. 1t was
generally conceded to have been one
of the best local talent efforts ever
produced in Nezperce. and in fact.
many of the young actors displayed
no little ability in working out their
parts. They did good work and got
good results for the gymnasium, to
which the proceeds went.

AS the case nov stands, it seems

As the case now stands, it seems
to be a question whether Colonel
Henry Watterson's attack upon
Governor Woodrow Wilson will
weaken or strengthen his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
the presidency. Watterson claims
that he can prove Wilson consented
to use funds in his campaign con-
tributed by Thos. F. Ryan of the
tobacco trust, and VIM. F. Nc
Combs. for Gov. Wilson, claims he
cannot. Until the proof is forth
coming, the Governor has the better
of the controversy before an Amer
ican tribunal.

met and de Gated the much i'm

team played so per cent better ball
before their own crowd than at Nez-
perez. The game vas exceedingly
fast and considerably rough although
There were few fouls called. 1t took
our boys shree-fourths of the game
to get warmed up and in the last
two minutes of play they put in
three baskets in a row. Grangeville's
guards have improved very much
and k pit our boys from making bas-
kets as often as at home. The score

vas Is to II for Nezperce and the
Grangeville rooters we're going wild,
having just made three points. But
our boys saw the fate that might be

baskets and a foul in those two
minutes which made the final score

panied as far as Cottonwood by

Bidding on the construction of
the new government ferryboat for
Cheyenne Agency was only mod
erately lively, but it is thought
sufficient to insure to a first class
boat in case the contracts are let.
The only bidder present was
MIR. G.. A. Albrecht, of Kansas
City, manager of the Otto Gas'En-
CINE Works.
Two bids were received for fur
nishing the engine, the 9th
or bidder, besides the above named,
being st. Marys Engine Co, of st.
Mary, Ohio.
Bidders for rest of machinery
were Link Belt Supply Co of Min
neapolis, Mimi, and Otto Gas En-
CINE Works. 4
There was but one bidder for
the construction of the hull, viz:
Applin & Son, Lyons, Iowa, who
offered to build it either at Pierre
or Cheyenne Agency. Acting Sup't
r. C.. Craig stated that if his Office
had the deciding of the matter,
the new boat would lie built here
at the Agency.
The specifications on the hull
call for a boat 644 feet long, 1s fit
beam. all to be built of oak and
other hard wood.
The result of the bidding was to
leave the matter still unsettled, as
the bids have to be first approved
at Washington before the con
tracts can be let, and the amount
of the bidding for the completed
boat, $1,000, is considerably high
err than the $4,000 granted last sum
mer for the purpose.
