Preparations Begun
For Local Fair

Monday evening a good number
of the business men of this city
met in the city hall to talk over the
possibilities of holding a fair in this
town the later part of September.
The matter was discussed pro and
con and after some time the house
was called to order and G. P. Barnum
was elected chairman and &c. John
son secretary. Again the subject
was discussed and finally a motion
was made by Joday Long and sec
onded by Albert Moskop that the
chair appoint a committee of three to
draft an outline of work and to Call
on the business men and citizens of
the town to raise funds to pro-
mote she Fair. This committee con-
sists E. H. Dammerall, of the Ken
brick Store Co., Joday Long of the
Long and Son Meat firm, Albert
Moskop, Druggist, these men we're
instructed to do their work and re-
port to the business men at meet
ing Friday evening at which time all
the men who we're not present are
requested to be in attendance with
those who were present Monday
evening. This matter is one of i'm
portance to the town and surround
ing country. This community has
within ITSELF an Empire which con-
sists of one of the best farming and
Livestock raising countries of the
west. Last year the town held a
one days fair. it was a success and
it was the request of great many
Farmers that it be made an anual
occasion. This year it is thought
best to hold two days fair. J. F.
Brown is collecting the best display
of products that was ever collected
il the history of the west, and
Stockmen are to be invited to bring
in their stock for exhibit. Let every
one put his shoulder to the wheel
and boost for the Fair and help
make it success.

WILL REMODEL
COURT HOUSE

Moscow, Aug, ,o-The county COM
missioners, will not, as has been re-
ported. submit the bond question to
the voters at this time, and may never
again bring the subject to the surface.
Having had two opportunities to
express their wish by ballot, and
having settled the matter negatively
the commissioners will make such ar
rangements as are necessary to con-
duct the business of the county.
Judge Morgareidge will move his
outfit downtown, as will also
Miss Dryden, county superintendent of
public instruction. Miss. 'Bryden's
room has been too small by half,
and the downtown office will be
large enough to accommodate a de-
legation Of school trustees while
transacting business matters with
the superintendent.
Miss Broman treasurer and tax
collector will then occupy the room
now used as a court room for the
probate judge. A doorway will be
cut out between the assessors office
and the tax collectors office thus
facilitating business of the treasurer
and tax collector.
With the probate judge and county
superintendent out of the court house
the congested condition will be some
what relieved. and the vacant apart
ments can be used as a meeting place
for the commissioners and jury
rooms where court is in session.
Altogether it will be ahappy fitting.

COUNTY BOARD ORDER
MANY ROAD CHANGES

Before the termination of the ses-
sion last week the county commits
sioners granted several petitions for
the creation of new roads in different
sections of the county, and adjusted
the damages there by occasioned
and ordered the roads recorded.
One road for which the petition has
long been pending, was the j. H.
Horton road in district No.16. An
other road that was ordered surveyed
and changed was that west of the
university running toward Pullman.
There has been much complaint
from the people who travel this high
kyay that it is so located that it fills
NJ IT, snow drifts in the winter months
Yand becomes almost impossible.
Its coarse will be so changed as to
overcome this difficulty as far as
possible.
Other roads ordered surveyed and
opened were in district Moo near
Genesee, the John Sinclair road near
Princeton in district No. 43, the
Harry Barnes road in district No. 81
near Potlatch and the J.H. Benjaman
near Troy in district No. SO.
The boundaries of several
school districts we're ordered changed
and one new districr was created
from Nos 40, al and 49 near Prince
ton. The creation of this district
gave Latah county exactly 100 school
districts.
A petition signed by many resi-
dents of the Troy section asking for
the creation of new head district was
considered but definite action in the
matter was deferred until later. The
petition will be disposed of on Sep
tember 8 at the next meeting of the
board.

Lightning Burned Barn

Genesee, Aug. 2.-[Special to the
Gazette The large barn belonging
to Martin Williams, located eight
miles east of Geiesee, was destroyed
by fire shortly after eight o'clock
this evening, the fire having been
caused by lightning. The report
received here stated that the barn
was filled with hay and grain and,
seven head of horses, harness and
equipment and a calf were burned.
The insurance carried was $500,
which is not sufficient to meet the
loss sustained by the burning of the
horses. A heavy rain also prevailed
in that section, but no estimate as to
damage to crops has been made.

Forest Notes

In making a study of grazing lands
on the national forests, 125 entirely
new species OF plants have been
discovered by the government ex-
perts, and will be named and class
flied by the botanlists of the depart
ment of agriculture.
Their discovery came about thru
the collection of some 5000 different
plant specimens, with notes as to
their habits of groth and forge value.
This work is part of comprehen-
sive plan to determine the grazing
value of every acre Of national forest
land in which the capacity of the soil
to grow certain forage crops is to be
determined and an effort made to
decide for which class of stock
sheep, cattle, or goats-the range Is
best suited.
The men who have made the
studies have combined the qualities
of practical stockmen and trained
botanists. They divided the areas
into such small subdivisions that
maps have been prepared which show
exactly the kiuds of feed which grow
on each acre, and the time of year It
is ready for grazing. The maps also
show the stocks water supply and
indicate the kind of stock best suited.
The investigation also showed the
examiners many areas covered with
flourishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of character relish
ed by stock; these areas, therefore
had little or no stock-carrying ca
pacity.
AS result of the study, the forest
service announces that it will be in
position to perfect its system Of
grazing management to bring about
still better conditions for both stock
and range.

Potlatch Farmers Claim
Inequitable Assessment

Claiming that they have been as
sessed far in excess of the value of
their land as compared with asses
ments made on farms in different
localities where land is more valuable
and productive, the farmers of Dry
ridge. Bear ridge and Texas ridge,
have "donned their fighting clothes"
and are determined to have their
land values lowered to their satisfact-
ion. Had lands in other localities
been assed on basis in proportion
to the values placed on other lands
they would have been perfectly
satisfied, but as it is they say that
their assessments are manifestly un-
just, and If necessary they will ap-
peal to the courts to see that justice
is meted out. 1t is also claimed
that the deputy who did the assess
ing on these ridges filled out the
tax payers statements in such man
ner that the farmers will not be given
the $4O0 exemption they are entitled
to on personal property.
After it was discovered that they
had been assessed too high,
Jas. Nelson, of Bear ridge, was
selected by the farmers of the Pot
latch country to appeal to the board
for decrease in their assessments,
but the board claimed that it was not
within their power o make any
change, AS a result the farmers
held meeting in Kendrick recently
and appointed committee to start
action in the matter. Troy News.

And on New Years day,

on New Years eve, and

trim We are. Amt ye glad,

Tom was always talking to
Jerry in that fashion; it was
a way he had, and Jerry
seemed to understand.

GIRL SPURNED HER ADMIRER
OF IS, so HE SHOT HER DOWN

Dispatches over the press wires
today say that Luella Roberts, the
17-year-old girl who was shot by
Frank Carlisle in Santa Rosa,
Cal, is dying and Carlisle Is
in the corner of dark
cell fearful that the enraged
townspeople will form a lynching
party to avenge the awful punish
ment that Carlisle visited upon
"the belle of Santa Rosa"
Luella told the district attor-
ney today that Carlisle had
threatened to kill her when he
saw her walking on the street
with a boy-one of her young
sehoolmates.
"You were meant for me-"
he cried passionateIy, land
before 1 let anybody else
have you, I'll kill YOU"
The frightened girl ran to her
home and did not venture out
again until a few nights later.
Then, as she was going to a
theater with her mother, Carlisle
crept up behind her and fired
three shots into her back.
The man is 35 years old and
was recently divorced from his
wife. His infatuation for the
singularly beautiful Roberts girl
was, the talk, of the city. Car
