In The Wilderness Again

Boise, June 22.-AnOther party
of government surveyors has gone to
Orofino where they will enter the
wilderness and begin the work of
surveying the Northern Pacific
lands in the northern part of the
state.
This is the second party which
has gone on this work but the first
was sent out to lay out the base
line and this is the first to begin
the actual work of subdivision. Pack
trains have been taking food and
supplies for the horses and men into
this country for several weeks and
several more parties will be sent in
as soon as possible. Owing to the
scarcity of this sort of work this
summer, the parties which will work
for the government have been made
up for several months and are now
being sent out as fast as their camps
are made ready.
The country to be surveyed in the
north is so rough and mountainous
that it is necessary to pack supplies
in and from base before the crews
can be sent in for there is but little
grazing for the hores and much of
the packing must be done on mule
back over the trails where wagon
cannot penetrate. Later in the sum.
mer supplies will be taken in from
the Montana side but that trail is
impossible at this time of the year
The party which left is in charge
of Woodbury. Abbey, United States
surveyor, and E. F. Striker
United State transitman.

CANDIDATES GAN
SOON GET BUSY

Nomination papers of persons in
all political parties who expect to
enter the coming primaries may be
filed with the auditor and recorder
on July 3 and there after up to
August 80, inclusive, the law speci-
flying that such nominations must be
made not less than 80 days preced-
ing an election and not more than
60 days.
The county board at it's regular
session the second Monday in July
will devote the major part of the
session to matters affecting the
coming primary and general election
Election judges will be named for
% precincts in the county, 1S being
double precincts and 10 being single,
the law providing that double sets
of judges be named in every pre-
cinct where more than 100 votes
were cast for governor at the last
general election. In other pre-
cincts only three judges will be ap-
pointed while in the double precincts
six will be named. Under the new
election law the distributing clerk
has been done away with, one Of the
judges acting in that capacity.
Clerks will be dispensed with like
wise, that is there will be one clerk
less in single precincts and two
clerks less in double precincts.
The board at the coming session
will establish the three commissioner
districts of the county and the dis
tricts are likely to be changed from
the present boundary lines. Unless
protests are filed the timber section
north of Troy, taking in the Boville

from the Third commissioner dis
trict and be added to the first, while
a portion of that in the first district
may be added to the second dis
trict.

Slight change in the Texas Ridge
precinct is proposed which will add
one more precinct to the county.
At the coming session the board
will also arrange for the printing
of the primary bollots.
1t is announced by Auditor and
Recorder Estes, who is the chief reg
istrar in the county, that supplies
have been sent out to all persons
who are qualified to act as regis
trars. Under the new law the
clerk of the court is the general reg
istrar, while the deputy registrars
are all notary publics and justice of
the peace in the county.

CELEBRATE IN KENDRICK
THE ASSESSMENT OF
NEz PIERCE COUNTY

The assessment roll for Nez Perce
county has been completed by
Auditor j. R. Lydon and shows the
total valuations in the county, ex-
elusive of the railroads, telephone
Snd telegraph lines to be $14, 1884,
,,s55, which is but little over $780,
900 more than the valuations es-
tablished in the county last year by
the state board of equalization,
the exact amount returned by the
state board outside the railroads,
telephone and telegraph lines being
$14,873,718.
When the Nez Perce county assess
ment roll went before the state
board of equalization last year, a
slight raise was made on the valu-
alton of livestock and in making up
the roll this year Assessor Wyatt
has endeavored to prepare it so that
little necessity for equalization will
occur. Last year the state board
ordered a 10 per cent reduction on
agricultural and timber lands and
Assessor Wyatt has anticipted this
valuation this year, while the sale
of Indian heirship lands, which have
become taxable, and other items
have raised the total value in the
amount above stated.
The total exemptions last year
amounted to $421 ,005, while the ex-
emptions allowed this year amount
to $46O,29O and are divided as
follows: Soldiers and widows,
$102,355; farm implements, etc.,
$99, 1885; household goods, $257, ,215;
libraries, 81 .48s. The roll shows
the total value of the property in
the outside of Lewiston to be $8,-
OIL, AL, while the valuations last
year were fixed at SO, ,168, ,7O3 on the
assessment roll before the equaliza-
tion was made The value of the
property within the city of Lewiston
exclusive of North Lewiston, which
is included in the Hatwai school dis
trict, is $4,968, ,144, as compared
with $4,816,703 last year. The
value of the property in the Lewis
ton independent school district out
side of Lewiston is given as $1,914,-
670, as against So, ,440,195 reported
a year ago. The items and values
upon which the assessment is made
this wear are as follows:

The Fool-Killer is a faithful
thermometer by which | am able
to test the temper of the people.
The paper has always been more
or less Socialistic, but for a long
time [ was afraid to make it as
Socialistic as [ really felt, because
it was my only dependence for
bread and butter, and | had an idea
that my own radical and rebellious
feelings put into print would kill
the paper.
But, bless goodness, l have
learned by experience that the
very opposite is true. It turns out
that the sort of CAB I feared
would kill it is the very thing it
fattens on.
It is a fact, of course, that
Socialism and all radical views are
unpopular among the plutes, and
also among that class of wood
en- men who know nothing but to
dance when the plutes pull the
string, but I find that the great
masses of the thinking common
people are right with me. The
more radical and rebellious'' ]
make the paper the, faster they
rally to it's support.
A great wave of Independent
thinking is sweeping around the
world, and no power on earth car
stop it.. The toiling millions have
at last discovered that empty prom

andthey merchandising a change Of
diet. That's why they are drop

A Sermon to the Methodists.

- w WIG
The Methodist church of North
Carolina, in it's little weak grunt
against the use Of tobacco, re-
minds me of a dog trying to bite
feas off the top Of it's head. \
AS everybody knows, Method
ism in this State is virtually
built On tobacco. Trinity Col
lege, at Durham, one Of the most
noted schools in the South, is a
gift from the Dukes and the
Cars, who made their millions
out Of tobacco. And without
the fabulous gifts of these men,
the Methodist church of North
Carolina would not be as rich
and pulled up with worldly
pride and self-suficiency as it
is today.
\ These hacker millionaire were
smart enough to see that in or
der to make their business re-
spectacle they must get on the
good side of the church. They
knew that a few millions would
act like sealing-wax on the lips
Of any good Methodist brother
who might feel inclined to crit
icize their business.
+ And SO it did. They took all
the tobacco, money they could
get and stood with outstretched
hands asking for more. AM
you couldn't tell but what to.
'bacco using was one Of the nee
.cessary things in the plan Of sal
walton.
But now a few members Q:
the Western North Carolin;
Conference are getting kinder
sassy and threaten to kick up
little rucus over the S Of tn
weed. The way they try to g
at it, however, is like cutting
out a foot or two Of a cow
tail up next to her body an(
leaving the tassel end for her t.
fight flies with. They want t.
compel their young preachers t.
abstain from tobacco, while tn
older mes who have been at i
for fifteen or twenty years Cal
go on using it. A habit tina
they believe to be absolutely use
less and positively sinful is t
be condemned in one person an
condoned in another.
In other words, they conten
that black under certain cond.
tions is white, and that nastines
Of long standing purifes itsel1
But there is not a word sal
about deciding Trinity Colleg
back to the Dukes for a cigal
cite factory and making til
Methodist church poorer bu
cleaner. Shucks! The who]
thing is a screaming farce, an
I'll bet the devil laughs at
till his belly hurts.

AS TO RELIEF MEASURES

The territory Of Alaska being witl out power to collect revenues for tn necessary expenses of home govern meut until such time as new laws are enacted and becOme effective, cr a spec.al act of congress yai- dates tbc cues that are now a part os the statutes of the territory, and which the Attorney General of the United States has declared void, a serious sud perpleXng problem con- fronts Governor Strong, for upon his judgment rests the decision of the course to be pursued in the ad- jusuLeut and final settlement of 8 question of paramount importance to the people of the territory, and upon whose shoulders alone, regard less of the purity of his motives, vii list onus Ot failure should the meth yd adopted prove to be wrong.
 From information we have thus far been enabled to obtain there are two channels through which reme- dial measures may be invoked, one ry the calling of 8 special session gt the territorial legislature and the passage of jaw creating the ne cessary new offices, making provis- .ous for filling them aud providing for the compensation of the in cumteuts. For a measure of this kind the enabling act itself provides & way, for it authorizes the Cover nor. iu the event of extraordinary circumstances, to call a special ses- sion of the territorial legislature, the length of such session not to exceed fifteen days.
 The other is the Oetitioning of congress for relief, which has been a matter of common practice here toGore by territorial legislatures where the courts have declared legislative enactments void for the reason that they contIicted with the organic laws of the various terri tories wherein their enforcement was sought; appeals to congress for aid in situations similar to our own by other territories have uniformly met with a ready response and there is no reason to aDpTehend that one from Alaska would not receive like consideration, as congress has prov ed itself as culpable in approving the acts of the legislature as was the territorial legislature itself in passing certain of them in direct violation of clearly defined pro- ht5itiug clause in the enabling act.
 There appears to be weighty req sons why the latter course is the on that should be adopted, not the

least important of which it that the expense to the people of the terri tory would prove to be so much less The calling of an extraordinary ses- sion of the legislature would mean the assembling at the capitol of eight senators and sixteen represent atiyes, whose services at S15 each per day would amount to $5,400; in addition to this there is a mileage allowance to members of 15 cents per mile for each mile from home to the capital and return by the near est travelled route, which would mean in the cases of members from Nome, the longest distance to be trayersed, a further expense to the territory of approximately $4OO, or almost double the per diem Of each; and further provision for incidentals, which would no doubt foot up to a respectable sum, would mean that the total expense to which the people of the territory would be put would be in the neighborhood of $2O,OOu
 Again, there is a question as to whether the length of a special session is not too brief to allow Of a proper consideration of the i'm portant measures that would come up before it and would only result in a repetition of the hurried and invalid enactments of the first reg ular session.
 If the matter is taken Up by con- gress, however, and the urgent need Of immediate action presented in a proper light, as there can be no question it would be, it's satjstacC- ory settlement would require but a limited time and it would become an accomplished fact and the ter ritorial machinery be working smoothly before it would be possible lOr llE AFA .94eLtA-t lO G-Se-t-'-f tsts- get in proper shape, as the worN transacted would be confined eN- clusiveIy to an amendment of the ob iectionabIe features in the organic act, declaring them void, and eularg- ing the duties of federal commission CTS and clerks of courts so that the territorial laws already enacted would be in conformity thcrewi-h and by the addition of an cmerg- ency clause become at once effective
 We understand that Governor Strong has taken the matter up with Senator Pittman, chairman of the senate committee cn territories and James Wickersham, delegate to Alaska, who is also a lawyer Of high standing at the territorial bar, and are confident with their advice and assistance he will see his way clear to decide on a course that could be for the best interest of the people of the territory as a wh0le
