ANOTHER BIG FLOUR SHIPMENT.
The Grangeville Mills Ship 5000 Sacks
to San Francisco.

The fame of Camas Prairie flour is
not limited to Idaho county and tribu-
tary territory as an order received this
week from the Coast indicates. Mr..
Schwalbach, who has been shipping
considerable flour to Portland and San
Francisco, received an order for 5000
sacks of choice flour from firm in
the last named city and is now busy
preparing the same for shipment.
There is no question as to the good
ness of the flour made here and every
citizen, for selfish reasons, If no 9th
ers, should use the home product. IT
it is good enough for San Francisco it
is plenty good enough for Idaho coun-
ty. Better bread and loyalty to home
comes through the use of the local
flour.

Monday morning and before the flames
were extinguished close to 415,000
worth of property was destroyed. The
fire originated in the Nez Perce hotel
and destroyed the Demoude building
and contents, the Medved meat market
as well as the hotel building and con-
tents. Mr.. Medved showed the Nex
Perez spirit by having a new place Of
business open before the ruins were
cool and word from there is to the Of.
feet that the district will soon be COW

Ne. Perce "Wets' VIII QcnAesk the
Recent Local option Election.
LEGALITY Of indian VOTERS
Also Number Of Irregularities Claim
ed by Those Favoring Regulation.

Lewiston dies hard and we don I
blame them, either. We refer to the
local option election which was held
in Nez Perce county ON March IS,
and won by the "drys" by the scsnt
majority Of 1876.
The latest move on the part Of
those who favor the sale Of liquor un.
der the regulated plan in Neg Perez
county is in the way Of an appeal TO
the courts, Attorneys Babb, johnson
and Mcdonald having been retained
by them to take the matter into court
and contest the election which, from
all accounts, was conducted in
rather slipshod manner, to ray the
least. Men were allowed to register
and vote the same day and there are
also other irregularities. The question
of the legality of the Indian vote win
also come up.
Not only will the Indian vote be st-
tackled, which was in sufficient num-
| bers TO determine the result at the
election, but much evidence will be
introduced showing irregularities
along other lines to establish the fact
that the people had not been giver
lawful opportunity to express the
majority wish at the polls. That the
Indian had no right 10 vote seems
now to be generally conceded by the
attorneys, in view Of the prohibition
placed directly upon such vote by the
state constitution, and with the ire
gularities to be otherwise raised there
is feeling of confidence among the
leading attorneys that the courts will
set the election aside.
| Among the matters to be- raised in
the contest will be violations Of tho
law by the election officers in allowing
voters to register and vote the Same
day; the failure to properly certify
registrations, and the voting of num-
erous people non-residents or persons
otherwise not qualified to vote. It 10
asserted by the advocates Of license,
who are making the appeal, that the
records of some Of the precincts and
the manner of conducting the election
show startling methods employed by
the opposition to keep the county In
the dry column, the most pernicious
being, however, the Wholesale voting
of illiterate and disqualified Indians.

NOTES OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Month Just Closed One of the Best In
Year-Minimum in Hardness.

The month of school which has just
closed has been one of the best in
many respects of the year, because it
still shows an increase of n good
wholesome school spirit, good fellow-
ship and feeling between teachers and
pupils, and among the pupils. Dis
sension is the uncommon thing and
the prevailing tendency is toward good
order. The only thing that we can
complain of is the lack of study in a
few sources, but l suppose that is
such a common complaint of all teach
ers that we ought to remember that
it is impossible to get all to do their
very best.
Our enrolment during the past
month was $50 and the daily attend
ance was 800, with only 81 cases Of
tardiness. 1 believe this school is
about to the minimum of tardies for
this month, for it is seldom that the
percentage of tardies goes this low.
Below is a report Of each room:

rollment, 81; average attendance, 2S;

There is one bad feature that ought
to be seriously considered by parents
and that is the taking of children out
of school to work. The law requires
that every pupil under the age of Il
who has not completed the eighth mus
attend school every day, unless thu
parent will make affidavit that he il
unable to send such child to school. II
a few cases this law is being directl,
violated for as yet no parent has pre-
sented such an excuse to me. j
seems that if compulsory schoo
law is not enforced that it ought to b.
stricken off the books.

RATES. ARE HIGHER
Implement Men Object to New
Classification of Twine.
Rates Increased More Than De-
creased Is Claim.

H. ]. Hodge of Abilene, secretary
of the Western Retail Implement and
Vehicle Dealers association, has writ
ten the state utilities commission to
complain of the new classification of
freights by the western classification
committee of the railroads. The spe-
cific clause of which Mr.. Hodges COM
plains is that relating to shipments of
binder twine. The new ruling re-
quires a shipment of 10000 pounds,
or a carload, in order to get a rate.
Heretofore $4,000 pounds was suffi-
cient, and the twine could be shipped
with implements in the car. Under
the new classification a small dealer
must buy a carload of twine or pay
the higher freight rate for local ship
ment
The secretary of the national as
sociation Of implement and vehicle
dealers has written to the Kansas COM
mission from Chicago making the
same complaint and asking that some
steps be taken looking to relief from
an unjust classification According to
the Chicago secretary binding twine
had been regarded and shipped as "ag-
riculturaI Implements for 20 years
The Kansas commission viii investi-
gate this and other complaints about
the new classification. It is claimed
that the new ruling has raised the
rates in twice as many instances as it
has lowered them
