OLD MAN HOLT Il
LIKES ]. BLAKE

j. M. Holt, a pioneer OF Clearwater
county, having lived in this section for
many years, was in Orofino Tuesday,
paying the Clearwater Republican a
short visit. The old man, now 70 years
OF age, said that he had fought in some
OF the Indian wars, and was in Spo-
kane long before there was any town.
He saw the falls in 1854, and could
have taken donation CLAIM including
the falls, now worth vast fortune.
He lived in The Dalles, Oregon when
there was no law and no government,
and settled here long before there was
town at Orofino.
Speaking Of local conditions Mr..
Holt said: II can tell you one thing,
and that is that every time think Of
Orofino l am reminded of the way the
Blakes skinned me. My wife had an
interest in what is now Gorman's addi-
tion to Orofino, something like eighty
acres OF valuable land below the de-
pot. The heirs had decided to sell the
land, it then being Of little value to
them, worth probably, according to
appraisement Of the Indian agent at
Lapwai, about 1920. talked il over
with Jim Blake, who was then running
bank in Orofino, and who pretended
to be my friend, and we decided to buy
this land when it was put up. Jim was
to 60 down to the agency at Lapwai
and bid it in at $1,000, we deciding that
that would be more than the appraised
value. But instead Of keeping his
word this pretended friend double
crossed me, for Jim Blake bid 1922
and German got the land on bid Of
1920. So far as could ever discover
Blake was in on the deal with German
to beat me, and it would be hard to
convince me that German was not act
ing as the agent for Blake, who has
had an interest in the tract every since.
II was told then, and am convinced
that It was dirty scheme OF Jim
Blake to skin me, for had this pre-
tended friend treated me honestly and
honorably he would have followed my
instructions and understanding and
bid $1,000. believe German knew
exactly how much Jim Blake bid for
me, and that it was concocted scheme
to skin me. 1t is sample Of the way
this man has done business, and am
not the only one who can testify to
this fact

In Bonner County.

Referring to the proposed cruise Of
Bonner County, the Northern Idaho
News Of Standpoint, says:
I'm the afternoon bids for the cruis-
ing and classification of the lands of
Bonner county were opened. These
were three in number each accompan-
led by check of 5000. George Hipke,
OF this city, bid 8 cents per acre; the
Munson-Whitaker company, Of Chicago,
bid s 1-2 cents per acre; and M. G..
Nease, of Portland, IL 1-2 cents per
acre. There are roughly some 775,
acres in the county SO that the cost to
the county under the lowest bid would
be approximately s62, 900 andt he high
est bidder, 500, 600.
The commissioners still have the
letting of the contract under advise.
ment and will give no inkling of their
intentions. 1t is stated that the amount
Of money proposed to be spsnt under
the lowest bid would asses the county
by the present methods for the nex1
80 years.

property taken out OF the courts
In the case Of the county against the
state Of Idaho to condemn ground for a
road across land owned by the state
asylum on the west bank Of the Clear
water river, judgment was rendered
for the county and the damages,
amounting to $17248, as previously ap-
praised, approved by the court.
In the case Of the N. P. Ry. Co.
against Clearwater county, in an ac-
tion brought as protest against what
the company alleges to be an unjust
assessment Of timber lands in this
county, Judge Steele sustained de-
murrer by the defendants counsel on
the ground that the complaint filed by
the railroad company failed to state
ground for action in the district court.
The court said that fraud must be al
legged before such a case could be
started and gave the railroad company's
attorneys till Wednesday, March Is, to
file an amended complaint. II fraud
cannot be alleged the case will be
dismissed.
