possible the status of the Indian as

ment, composed of Adolph Hinkel-
man, Greencreek; Geo. d. Stanbery,

A. Powell, Grangeville.
Reolutions were passed favoring
state good roads organization,

Gated, authorized the appointment of
a legislative committee to work for
highway legislation and fovored the
circulation of petitions asking that
the period OF the treaty between the
government and the Nez Perce In
dians be not extended.
The subject of cooperation" was
the first topic under discussion, and
was ably handled by James Surridge,
who Is always to the front in all
matters of public interest, and ready
to lend his presence and influence to
push it along. His forcible and friend
ly plea for closer relations on the
part of all sections of the county
was met in the same kindly spirit
and at once put things in the very
best of working shape, and the re-
sponses indicated that all were ready
to cooperate in the construction Of
continuous county highways, that all
parties might alike receive the full
benefit therefrom. He favored CO.
operation with the state for a grand
highway north and south trunk line
also similar line throughout the en-
tire state, and favored the northern
counties organizing to that end.
Robert Griffith, of White Bird, en-
phasized the Importance of proper
drainage on hillside roads, and re-
lated some of his experiences in
that line.
The subject of the non-taxpaying
indian was one of paramount i'm
portance in the meeting, and was
led by Adolph Hinkelman of Green
creek, and George d. Stanbery, of
Winona, later followed by d. l..
Rosengrantz, of Winona, who not
only leases, but has bought some of
the Indian lands in his section of the
county. The discussion of this i'm
portant subject became general, and
was participated in by George D.
Smith, Bert Miller, Will Jones, Gus
Wickman, H. j. Cressley, John Jun
CERT, j. l.. Stewart, John Seger, w.
w. Brown, Frank McGrane, j. F.
Jenny, Ed Nelson, Gus Schroeder,
Herman Won Bargen and others.
ne consensus OF opinion was that
the time had arrived when concert
ed and vigorous action should be
taken by all sections of Idaho, Lew
Is, Nez Perce and Clearwater coun-
ties, to adjust matters between the
Indian and the white man In the way
of leasing lands, the building of
wagon roads and general public i'm
provement by taxation, and a capa-
BILE committee was appointed to delve
into the subject and see what ef-
fective steps can be taken to re-
lieve the situation of those living on
the reservation, as well as of the
counties at large. The discussion
developed the fact that the average

Meeting held in Grangeville yester-
day was one of the most important
gatherings held in the county in a
long time. This fact seems to be
fully realized by the attendants a.
that gathering, and they all got right
down to business and attacked the
many knotty problems which con-
front the residents of this county in
the matter of road construction, with
zeal and determination to solve them
if there is any solution to be made.
One of the statements made by w.
b. Hussman that Eve cannot have
good roads unless We are willing to
pay for them. and pay for them with
out murmuring; and we can have
good roads if we are willing to pay
for them," puts the proposition prac-
tically in nut shell There are very
few people getting something for
nothing these days, and it certainly
cannot be made to apply to the road
proposition, no matter what other
subject it may fit into. Therefore,
If we raise sufficient money to make
good roads and have good, honet men
at the helm, we are going to get
them; and when that day arrives we
are going to see the greatest i'm
pulse to farming, business and i'm
proved home life this section has
ever known
The meeting was called to order
at II O'Clock a. m. at the Lyric
Theatre, which was proffered for use
by Mr.. Edmundson, the court house
being in use by the district court
now in session. John A. Powell, OF
the Grangeville highway district was
elected temporary chairman, and j.
F. Jenny, of Cottonwood, secretary;
both of whom were later called to
fill the same positions in the per-
manent county organization.
Delighted with New School Building.
Immediately after forming the
temporary organization an invitation
was extended the visitors by the
school board to make a trip up on
the hill and inspect the new $780,
600 school building, now nearing com
pletion. The guests were shown
through the three stories from Gel
lar to garret, and were pro-
nounced in their praises of the splen.
did structure and its arrangement,
and proffered many words of praise
for the school board and for the en-
terprising citizens who backed them
up. The visitors were greatly taken
with the splendid auditorium, and also
highly commended the lighting, heat
ing and ventilation of the structure
Some of the visitors stated that they
would have from one to two chill
dren to send here next year.
Welcomed by Mayor Sims.
At the afternoon session which con
vened at 1:30, Mayor j. Frank Sims
delivered the address of welcome, ten
dering the keys of the city to the Wis

with promptness and hearty apprec-
iation. There were twenty-one high
way commissioners in attendance
from the various sections of the coun-
ty, and it was soon apparent that they
had all come loaded for bear.
During the four hours afternoon
session, a permanent county good
roads organization was formed, with

As young woman attired in neat blue suit entered street car a man, his head buried in a newspaper, arose and offered his seat. With a curt nod the young woman accepted, and as soon as she had composed herself she became interested in the contents of her shopping bag In spite of his apparent abstraction, the man with the newspaper watched her for moment. Then, speaking hurriedly, he said:

WOULD GUST MIR. BRYAN
 FROM PRESIDENTS CABINET

St. Louis, March "A special dispatch to the Globe-Democrat from Washington says:
 That the big Interests" have combined to undarwrite large fund to be used solely for the purpose of eliminating William J.. Bryan from the councils of President Wilson ,is the charge made here by some of the most intimate and ardent friends of the secretary of state.
 It is asserted by these men that there is in existence positive proof of the making up of a "war fund.- for financing a sys- tematic and country y-wide attack on MT. Bryan as a member of the Wilson adminis- traton. While no names are mentioned, it is charged that most of the individuals, corporations and financial institutions usu- ally associated with the Democratic use of the terms "money trust and "blg ln- terests' are lined up in support of the com bination against Mr Bryan. The object of the conspiracy, said to be generously financed, is asserted to be the discrediting of MT Bryan, both in Washington and with the people of the country, so as to make it impossible for him to retain his place in the Wilson cabinet
 This movement against Bryan was put on an organized basis, it is charged at the moment that he loomed up as a possibility in the Wilson cabinet The efforts of the combination were then directed toward keeping him out of the Presidents council of official advisers. Having failed in ac- complishing this purpose, so Mir. Bryan's friends declare the moneyed combination proceeded to work on another plan.

CLAIMS TO COAL LANDS GOOD

The governments charges against the WiIIoughby coal claims in the Bering river district, Alaska. have been recommended fer dismissal by the land office at Juneau.
 The recommendation is regarded as the first showing of a more liberal policy on the part of the government with regard to Alaska coal lands.
 The claims recommended for dismissal em- brace 4SO acres of coal land along the west erly side of Caribou mountain, and lncIuce the Ames, Cheney and Bun groups, ton of coal mined from which was awarded a gold medal at the Alaska Yuhon-Pacitic eN- position.

 The opinion of Register C. B.

The success met by J. Frederick John son, or Moose" Johnson, as he is familiarity known, in the work of organizing lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose in this district has more than met his expectations. The order seems to have made hit, and the slogan of the order, Get the password, get the rap; howdy, howdy, howdy, pap" has been heard wherever few of the enthusl astic converts have congregated.
 It had been the intention to have two lodges, one at Flat City and the other at Idtarod, but this plan has been abandoned and one lodge will serve the entire district.

Colonel Revclle who has been awarded the contract for the weekly mail service between Seward and Iditarod, to go into eff feet on November 1 next, arrived Tn ldlta rod last Monday, and has been looking over the district and arranging details for the installation of the mail service next fall. He will leave on the return trip to Seward on Monday. 1t is possible that he may make another trip to lGtarod during the summer and he will come through from the coast with the first mail under the new contract.
 Colonel Revelle told The Pioneer that his contract provides for a 25-day service be tween Seward and lditarod but that his schedule will enable him to make the trip in twenty days in all kinds of weather. The trail from knik, he says, is one of the best in Alaska, and he is confident that with sufficient traffic over it he would be able to maintain a schedule of fourteen days, and even less. Coming to Iditarod, he made the trip from knik to Iditarod in nine days actual trayehng time.

He says that by following this route two weeks time can be saved over the present route from Cordova to Fairbanks and thence to kaltag and Unalakleet, The Nome mail consists of 800 pounds a week, and this added to the 400 pounds weekly for Iditarod, would mean that the trail would be kept in excellent condition, and mail could be brought through from Seward to Iditarod in ten days With this object in view, it is certain that strenuous efforts will be made to keep the trail open and to rush the mail through from the start.
 It is the intention of Colonel Revelle also to establish an express service in connec- ton with the mail route, and possibly passenger service as well.
