asserts, is not used for the prescribed

Members Review Law.
Members of the District Committee
evinced considerable interest today in
the johnson resolution, and were busy
"boning up on the law of 1870 incorpo-
rating the market company and provid-
ing that 1t should pay a rental of
$4,000 a year on the land the company
occupies. This rental was reduced to
$3.50 by the general assembly of the
District in the early To's. and the stock
holders OF the market company say
Supreme Court decision lies against the
collection Of the back rent which Mr..
Johnson alleges should be paid.
Silent On Decision.
Mr.. johnson today did not discuss in
detail the Supreme Court decision re-
ferred to, but he broadly intimated that
he did not think 1t covered the case
and was not as comprehensive as
claimed by the Market Company people.
The inference drawn from Mr.. Johnson 8
was that he believed the District
officials of that day and the Market
Company owners were in reality parties
to a moot case and that the District
of Columbia did not properly defend its
rights.
That section of the law of 1870. pro-
of the market company. and the turn
ing back of its holdings to the Govern
ment, reads as follows:
That the privileges conferred by
this act shall be enjoyed by said COM

compliance or abuse Of the conditions
herein imposed upon said company,
which may be done by a suit in the
name of the United States to recover
possession of said property.
AT the end Of said period of ninety
nine years the said lands with all erec-

Ed zUMWALT DIES
VERY SUDDENLY

Last Saturday, about the mid
night hour, occurred one of the most
peculiar deaths heard of. Ed Zum-
walt who lived a few miles from
Juliaetta on the Clearwater, was in
Juliaetta Saturday afternoon and
was seemingly as well as ever. He
went home in the evening and retir-
ed. About midnight his brother,
who was sleeping with him, was
awakened by the manner in which
he was acting in his sleep and tried
to wake him but could not. He
aroused the family but before medi-
cal attention could arrive the man
was dead. The remains were taken
to Moscow for burial. The deceas-
ed leaves a wife and five children.

WILL START AN
OSTRICH FARM

Chas Alber, o Alber, and Alex
Galloway returned the first of the
week, from two weeks trip through
British Columbia and Montana.
They took good look at the coun-
try, for they left here with the idea
that this was the worst place on
earth and that they were going to
better themselves. 1t is reported
that Alex Galloway has bargained
for large tract of land in Montana,
on which he expects to start an Os-
trich farm, and that he will soon
leave for Arizona and New Mexico
to secure some of the finest birds
that he can find. Since their re.
turn it is learned that they dom
think that this is such bad place
after all, although they didn't stay
in Montana long enough to find ou
whether they liked it or not. If Mr.
Galloway gets some good bird!
with plenty of long feathers he will
have no trouble disposing of then
around here.

Kendrick Loses Game

The Kendrick ball team met de-
feat at the hands of the Clifford nine
la st Sunday on the home grounds.
The Kendrick boys started off at a
winning gait and had good lead up
to the fourth inning, when faulty
base throwing gave the visiting team
an opportunity to even things up.
The teams were very evenly match
ed, and it was a hard matter to fig
ure out the winners up to the seventh
inning. In the remaining two inn
ings Clifford managed to gain the
lead and at the wind-up the score
stood, Clifford 10; Kendrick 7.
While the game could not be dubb-
ed a first class exhibition of the ma
tional pastime, there were some
brilliant plays made, notably among
which were fly catches by Clifford S
third baseman and Hendricks right
fielder. The home grounds at theil
best are not any too large, and wher
spectators encroach, it handicaps
the players, besides shutting off the
view from the grandstand. How.
ever, the greatest offenders in thi:
respect belong to the rising genera
ton, and a dead line should be
drawn, over which no person out
side of the players should be allow.

Entertainment and Dance

The entertainment given at the
Barnum theatre last Friday evening
for the benefit of the Kendrick Band
was a success socially as we'll as fl
nancially. The Ladies who got up
the entertainment deserve much Gre
dit for the work which they did
and the manner in which they drill
ed the young ladies'. Every line of
business in this city was represented
by young lady and each one wore
costume which represented the
business. After the entertainment a
short concert was given by the en-
tire band. Then the chairs were
cleared from the room and the re-
mainder of the evening was given
over to dancing and card playing.
The boys of the band feel as though
the people of the town we're with
them, and have begun with more
determination to make it one of the
best bands of the country.

MANY TRANSFERS IN
NATIONAL FORESTS

During May the President signed
proclamations making changes in
the boundaries of national forests in
the State of Idaho. Approximately
$4,000 acres are affected, but
more than half of the changes are
in the nature of a transfer of land
from one national forest to another.
An elimination of 1850 acres
was made along the northwestern
boundary of the Challis National
Forest, in northern Idaho. These
lands were found upon examination
to be of little value for forest pur-
poses. About 4O,4oO acres were
transferred from the Challis to the
Salmon National Forest and p 10, $40
acres from the Salmon and 7o, $50
acres from the Sawtooth were trans
fered to the Challis, for administra-
tive reasons.
Some 80, $40 acres were eliminat-
ed from the Lemhi National Forest,
which lies directly east of the Challis
and an interforest transfer of 25, 900
acres was made from the Lemhi to
the Salmon National Forest.
An elimination of $500 acres
was made from the Salmon to ad-
just the boundary to the edge of the
heavy timber. There was also
eliminated 3,040 acres from the
Sawtooth National Forest, and a
transfer of 1880 acres was made
from the Sawtooth to the Challis.
Approximately $4,000 acres from
the Beaverhead and 4O,64O acres
from the Challis were transferred
to the Salmon National Forest, and
from the Salmon 16,o4O acres 60 tc
the Challis and $4,000 to the Lem
hi. The transfer from the Beaver.
had to the Salmon leaves the re-
naming portion of the Beaverheao

no and Montana, as formerly.
The transfers and eliminations
were made in each instance upor
the recommendation of the For
est Service. The eliminated area!
will be restored to settlement ane
entry after having been advertised
IN the local papers by the Secretary
of the Interior.

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
MEETING At OROF|NO
Orofino, Idaho, June 9, 1913.
Mr.. Editor, Gazette,
Dear Sir:

At meeting of the
Taxpayers League of Clearwater
County, for the purpose of discuss
ing ways and means for most speed
lily subjecting the unapproved Scrip
and unsurveyed Northern Pacific
Railway Grant lands of this state to
taxation, the fact was developed
that out of total approximating
122,43 acres of land, owned and
controlled by this company in Clear
water county, taxes are paid on but
1855 acres as shown by the COM
pany's list of lands submitted for
taxation for the year 1913. Other
counties, mostly in the northern
part of the state, are affected in
similar manner, to the amount of
more than two million acres. The
counties suffer directly and the
state indirectly from this loss of
revenue by taxation.
Appropriate resolutions have been
adopted by the Taxpayers League
of Clearwater County, and a call
has been issued tor a convention to
be held at Coeur d Alene City, June
80, 1913, to discuss the subject,
formulate plans and devise ways for
subjecting these lands to taxation at
the earliest date possible.
The convention referred to will be
composed of six delegates from
each county, three of whom shall be
members of the board of county
commissioners of the county, and
three persons to be selected by a
mass meeting of the citizens, a Tax
payers League, or be appointed by
the board of county commissioners.
Interesting developments may be
looked for at that time. State and
county officials and taxpayers gener-
ally. are invited to attend.
w. M. Peatman, President.
w. B. Compton, Secretary.
