Clearwater County Repudiates
$4,000 Nease Cruising Warrants

At the meeting of the county board
Friday evening the commissioners took
formal action that means the repudia-
tion of $44, 600, with accruing interest,
due on the Nease cruise in Clearwate r
county. Attorney Fred e. Butler of
Lewiston has been employedssto assist
County Attorney Smith in fighting
the case.
Nease was made present of a
contract, without opposition, by Frank
Zelenka, Elmer Torgerson and Frank
Harrison, the county board, to cruise
400, 900 acres at the exhorbitant price
Of twelve and half cents an acre.
How rotten this deal was, and how
worthless is this cruise, and how
much the county was skinned, Will
probably come out if the case ever
goes to trial,
1t is contended that the county
board had no authority to make the
contract; that the $44, 900 of warrants
given Nease and now outstanding. are

Contract Not of Record
Judge Steele, in his decision, says in
part:
mo record of the board of commits
sioners shows the alleged additional
contract was made, and the evidence
shows that there were no meetings of
the board held for this purpose. The
contract for $3.50 let on bids was prop
eriy made, and this amount has been
properly paid the contractors. But
boards OF county commissioners can not
legally enter into any agreement ex-
cept when the board is in session,
where minutes of the orders and
agreements are made matters of record,
from which any citizen may appeal.
individual members of the board
can not be going about contracting for
the county or changing contracts al
ready made.
Parties contracting with county
or municipal corporation must see to
it that the contracts are legally made or
take the consequences"

Democratic Free Trade Is Wrong
Admits Member Wilson's Cabinet

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2O.-Again
the word FAILURE has been written
in bold type across the text of Demo-
cratic law
No less person than Secretary of
Commerce Redfield has admitted the
necessity for legislation to provide that
unfair competition from abroad" at
the close Of the war 'shall not be per-
mitted to injure American industry"
The Secretary has announced that in
his next annual report to Congress he
will accommend the enactment of laws
to prevent the dumping" of foreign
products into the American market.
Considered in connection with Secre-
tary Redfield's statement, the action of
the Democratic Congress in eliminating
the "anti-dumping" clause from the
Underwood tariff law assumes the pro-
portions of colossal blunder
That the enactment of the Under
wood bill would render imperative at
least small measure of protection to
American industries, was conceded by
the Ways and Means Committee when
it reported the tariff bill. To provide
it the committee recommended an
"anti-dumping" clause, declaring in its
report that it was to 'guard the pro-
ducers of the United States against the
demoralization of American markets

Broke Window

Pocatello Tribune:-A peculiar acci-
dent happened this morning when an
automobile that was passing along
Arthur street west OF the Houde barber
shop hit pebble and burst a tire. The
force OF the explosion caused the rock
to be hurled against the big plate glass
window on the west side of the shop.
So powerful was the impact of the rock,
which was about the size of an egg,
that hole resembling that OF bullet
was made in the heavy plate glass

worthless, and not valid claim
against the county.
When Nease concluded this cruise
the old board paid him 500, 900. and
this the people will never recover.
But there is every reason to believe
that the county will win its suit
started to repudiate the $44, 900 still
due for the job. Whether or not
Nease can recover from the members
OF the board who employed him the
Republican does not know.
1t is not known who now holds
these warrants, but that will make no
difference. 1t is known that Nease
has been trying to unload them, and
that various banking houses, that buy
warrants, turned them down after
their attorneys had investigated them.
Clearwater county will resist pay
ment to the bitter end unless the peo
pie elect set of county commission
ers who will again deliver the goods
to Nease.

State Treasurer Eagleson Is
Making Record for Economy

Caldwell Tribune: - THE State fl
nances were never before in such excel
lent condition as they are at present,
under the efficient management OF
State Treasurer Eagleson. During the
first six months OF his administration
the sum OF seven thousand dollars has
been saved just in the economy and
efficiency system he has inaugurated in
the administration of the Capitol build
ing at Boise OF which he is custodian.
He has reduced the purchasing of sup
plies, and the payment of all expenses,
and keeps a close watch on all expendi-
lures and disbursements.
During the last six months, the
state has paid no exchange upon bonds;
this amounts to over a thousand dollars
saved.
During the first two months Of this
year, Mr. Eagieson saved tue state over
thousand dollars in interest by ar
ranging a new system OF paying up
warrants ana getting apportonments
promptly.
''ln the Capitol building he has made
a saving of over two hundred and fifty
dollars upon telephones alone, by re-
ducing the number in the building to a
sufficient number and cutting out the
unnecessary instruments.
'On various other little items OF un-
necessary expense he has saved the
state over three hundred and fifty
dollars.
"On the bond issue for 1915 for state
highways, which was authorized to be
sold on five per cent basis, he sold at
such premium that the interest was

Stock Show Entries Numerous

Lewiston, Oct. 20. So many appli-
cations have been filed for space and
entry blanks in connection with the
Northwest Live Stock show to be held
here November 29 to December a,
that the officials say ground must be
equipped to handle 3, 600 animals.
Preparations will commence this
week for the enlargement of the fa-
cilities.
While the show is primarily in the
interest of the buyers, breeders and
sellers of live stock in Washington,
Oregon, Montana and Idaho, applica-
cations for space and entry cards have
been received in the office of the Sec

reduced to 1-2 per cent; and then be.
sides this saving of over ten thousand
dollars in interest, he contracted the
deal so that even the expense for litho.
graphing the bonds was borne by the
purchaser.
''By his efficiency and economy and
by his good management of the Treas.
ury department, he has cut down the
outstanding Indebtedness of the state
by 1853, 10000, leaving now balance
OF 81, 236, 1900 still outstanding.
This record is splendid one for
six months. 1t speaks loudly of the ex-
cellent work of our state treasurer He
is business man in every sense of the
word. He is running the treasury de-
partment as a private man would run
his business with economy and eff
cheney.
1.-THE people OF the state are well
pleased with this record, as it shows
that at least one man in the State Cap
itol appreciates the obligation to the
people OF the state of conserving the
public money OF the state.
"After the late malodorous system or
lack OF system OF o. V. Allen, this is
such contrast that mere words are
inadequate TO express it. :"
The Caldwell Tribune adds this com.
ment:
The above article appearedtin re.
cent issue OF the Oakley Herald. As il
furnished real facts proving economy
and efficiency on the part of the state
treasurer, Mr.. John w. Eagelson, The
Tribune was lead to make little in
yestigation into affairs in the office in
question. Among the many things We
learned was that the present state treas
urer's method of doing business meets
with the hearty approval and sympa
thetic cooperation gf all the state Off
GERS. These officers have the utmos
confidence in Mr.. Eagleson. They fee
that ne is dong everything in his power
to efficiently and economically handle
the work of his office This method oi
handling the office of the state treasurer
is something new and proyokes re.
marks OF approval.

railroad activity at once because the
proposed tiume was to cost SIS, 600 and
it was this work that so suddenly
stopped. The flume was started only
because the Scofield interests had NO
positive assurance of railroad trans
portation. If the Scofield people have
given up the fume plan it means a
railroad, and there is no doubt about
it.
That there is to be some kind of ac
tivity at Weippe is also certain.
Only last year this company paid cash
for almost $50, 900 worth of state tim.
Der near Weippe. The contract re-
quires operations to begin in three
years, and to have been completed in
twelve years. The Scofields are not
going to forfeit this immense sum.
More than this the Scofield interests
own millions of feet of white pine on
Washington creek, cut down last wear
because forest fires ruined it the wear
before, and this will be a total loss
unless Immediately sawed.
Put all these facts together and it
is absurd to doubt activity at Weippe
Mt an early date.

caused by low priced foreign mporta-
TONS"
The clause provided, in substance,
that upon exported foreign articles not
on the free list, also manufactured in
the United States, SPECIAL duty of not
to exceed fifteen per cent should be
levied whenever the foreign price was
less than the fair market value at
home
The House passed this provision. The
Republicans unsuccessfully tried to
amend it and then to man voted for
it. The Senate Finance Committee
struck it from the bill. and in spite of
united Republican efforts to amend and
restore it, the tariff bill passed the
Senate without the anti-dumpng clause,
eventually becoming a law in that
form.
The anti-dumping clause thus thrown
into the discard by the Democrats was
very evidently necessity, the demand
for which was acutely emphasized by
the passage of the law from which it
was finally eliminated.
In recommending anti-dumping legis-
latlon now, Secretary Redfield has not
merely turned the limelight upon a
legislative blunder of his party, he has
justified the position of the Republi-
cans and virtually championed their

Spend, Your Money at Home


This is one of the five letter
written by the Lanier Club as 10
why it is better to spend your
money with the Droke Jewelry
Company instead of patronizing
the Mail Order House:
Okolona, Miss, Nov. %, 1915.
To the Citizens of Okolona and
surrounding country:
why we should trade with
Droke the Jeweler. "
Why we should trade with
Droke Jewelry Co., is a question
that should interest every bust
ness man and citizen. Think
for one moment and see if these
facts are not true. Are they
not the foundation of an upward
spirit to build up our town, and
make a better market at home?
What makes any, town boom?
Is it not by having its citizens
boost their merchants, support
home industry and encourage
local thrift. Then let US buy
our Ghristmasand wedding gifts
from .Drpke. In the first place
he is an honest, law-abiding
citizen. He pays. taxes in the
Town Treasury. He trades and
pays out money, which, in turn,
goes into circulation in our COM
munity.
With Droke you have many
advantages over the Mail Order
System: in getting your choice
for the same or even less cost;
in seeing the articles and having
it guaranteed by a thoroughly re-
liable Jeweler, ian advantage
much to be desired,) Mans per-
sons have the idea that to
order through a highly illustrat-
ed catalogue from some big
Mail Order House they will get
better and more up-to-date
articles for less money. These
persons do not consider that
these well-illustrated catalogues,
extensive advertising and trans
rortation must all come out of
the profit on articles they are

on the articles in Droke's store,
place them side by side with i
those to be found elsewhere. |
note for yourself the style, the
quality and the price, then cor :
slider the service and the SER
vice and the convenience Of
trading at home.
We feel pride in having this
jewelry store here. 1t would
do credit to a larger town. /
Cooperation of the people in
trade and business has always
shown great results. No one
who has studied these facts can
fail to see the mutual benefits
derived from reciprocity, so buy
