intendent of the county home for
the year at a monthly salary of $85.
The board also fixed the price for
boarding prisoners during 1914.

The First National Bank of Mos
cow filed a complaint against the
county officials claiming an exem-
ptiop from taxation of $14 900 worth
of its capital which has invested in
farm lands. 1t insisted that this
should be free from taxation under
the provision Of the revenue law
relating to real estate held by the
bank.
Assessor Martinson demurred to
the complaint of the bank. He took
the position that the banks capital
could not be invested in this form OF
real estate under the law. He also
insisted that the court did not have
jurisdiction in the matter; that if the
bank was dissatisfied with its assess
ment its recourse was to the boarc
of county commissioners, that i
had no right to enter court unless i
was prepared to prove fraud in the
assessment.
= The bank was given twenty day
to reply.

FIRE DESTROYS
CULDEsAC STORE

Culdesac, Jan. 21.-The Culdesac
hardware store owned and conducted
by Harvey Kennedy and Son, was
destroyed by fire shortly after II
o'clock last night, the cause of the
fire being unknown. The fire was
discovered by two young men who
were returning to the business district
from the hill section to the rear of
the store. They rushed to the busi-
ness district to give the alarm but
before their arrival loud explosion
was heard which awakened people
residing in the vicinity of the store.
At that time the fire was in the rear
of the store and removed consider
able distance from the stove.
The fire department and citizens
responded quickly and effective
work was rendered in preventing the
spread of the flames. A portion of
the warehouse was saved and some
little portion of the stock was re-
moved. The inventory of the stock
showed a valuation of about Sic, 900
and the insurance carried amounted
to $4,000. The building was owned
by the Genessee Exchange bank
and cost about $1,000 few years
ago. The insurance carried on the
building here amounts to $1,000
but other insurance may be carried
by the bank with companies not
represented in Culdesac. The
building was of veneer brick con-
struction and is complete loss.

TWO COUNTIES TO
BUILD TWO BRIDGES

A joint session of the Commission
ers of the Nez Perce and Latah
county was held Wednesday at
Juliaetta and Kendrick. The session
was held at these places on account
of being able to visit the two bridges
they intend building. The bridge
across the Potlatch just above Julia
eta, which has been in dangerous
condition for some time past was
the first place visited and at that
point it is necessary to build concrete
abutments and piers while the rem
ainder of the structure will be made
of steel. The bridge over the Pot
latch above Kendrick at Wancher
gulch was visited and it was found
necessary to take out the old frame
work and put in new structure of
steel. These two bridges will be
built in the early spring, bids will
soon be called for by the commission
ers. The clerk of the Nez Perce
Board and the representatives of the
Security Bridge Company was in
company with the two Boards.

PETE GOT HANDY
WITH HIS DUKES

According to reports reaching
Kendrick, a fracas at Orofino in
which P. L. Orcutt, former Moscow
news paper man. but now editing the
Clearwater Republican at the Clear
water metropolis, was one of the
chief figures and Blair Hoar. county
treasurer, the other, it is asserted
that Orcutt displayed marked ability
with sufficient emphasis to place him
in the White Hope" class while
Hoar is reported to be suffering
physical anguish as a result of the
melee.
Mr.. Orcutt's ability to swing the
editorial pen, vituperously where oc-
casion demands, is not unknown in
Moscow. Since beginning to edit
the Orofino paper he has started
something which is said to be making
certain class of political leaders
squirm with indignation. The
county seat is in turmoil over ex-
posure and charges brought through
the columns of Orcutt's paper and
it is said the end is not yet.
The trouble in connection with the
fight last Friday arose from Mr.. Or.
cults delving too closely into the
financial affairs of Clearwater county.
1t is alleged that but SIS. 900 of the
funds of the county, said to be $123-
179.41, was drawing interest and
that Mr.. Orcutt was making inquiry
at the office of the county board fol
more particulars. 1t is said thai
while Orcutt and Hoar were in the
vault talking things over that Hoal
landed on the prominent chin of tn.
editor who is said to have "bit tn,
dust" Further report says that tn,
editor quickly recovered and admin
istered some surprises to the treasure
and tax collector, the latter beinl
saved from terrible chastising BY
: the interference of friends.
News comes from Orofino tina
the fight from now on will be fas
. and furious in which the aforesaid
editor will be the aggressor and tina
when the next election rolls arount
that the ballot box will show
. sweeping change in the persons t.
occupy office for the next two years

1000 POUNDS BY
THE PARCEL POST

Sites, Jan. 18.-Since Jan. ! the
parcel post business has increased
to such an extent that the post
master is considering the need of
additional room for that mail. N.
B. Pettibone, the contractor carrying
the mail from Sites to Elk City,
has been unable to carry all the mail
on the regular stage. Tuesday NOR
ming he loaded his freight wagon
with about 1000 pounds of parcel
post mail.
The increase of mail means big
increase in the contractor S expenses
and the present pay does not begin
to cover it.
The department has promised to
take up the matter of extra pay, and
it is expected that action will be
taken soon.
