mony, so on we went and soon ar
rived in the little city of Southwick
where an hour was spent at the
home of the Rev. Mountain. Here
the innerman was again cared for af-
ter which we adjourned to the house
of God and listened to another SER
mon, making the third for us in
one day, but it came from the lips
OF the speaker just as earnestly as
as the first one. The house was
filled to overflowing and an old time
lovefeast was participated in. After
the services and general good, old
fashioned handshaking the party
started back for Kendrick, arriv-
ing here about midnight, de-
claring that it had been one of the
best days of our lives spent.
Now, comes the summing up of
the two trips as to the industrial
view point. The famous Inland
Empire is, we will admit, wonder
full country. But take the two coun-
tries, the Palouse and the Potlatch
and there is actually no comparison.
The crops will tell the tale; the Pa
louise crops are good, but the volume
of productiveness is not there, the
size of grains and grasses fall short,
the amount of different varities can
not compare, in fact you can readily
see the vast difference between the
two at one glance. The climatic
conditions are different, the soil and
lay of the land also better and with
little drawback on the hills as to
road conditions the Potlatch is far
superior. The road conditions of
the Potlatch are fast coming to the
front and it will only be short
time until they will also equal the
Palouse. In every direction from
Kendrick the farming communities
are building better roads and in our
drive Sunday we drove over the new
road that is being built from South
wick to Kendrick, and it did our
hearts good to know that such a
good grade could be built in this
community. Take it from us, we
are glad that we are living in a
country like this, even if at times
we think that things are slow and
we are abused. We are living in a
country where failure is unheard of
and where every citizen can live if
he is in the least inclined to do his
part of gaining that livelihood.

County Will Buy
Land for Poor Farm

Believing it to be to the best in
terests of Nez Perce county to ope-
rate its own poor farm, the board
of county commissioners this week
ordered the clerk of the board to
advertise for proposals to sell to the
county landed area not to exceed
40 acres, and which must in any
event not cost more than $4,000.
This is the first definite step taken
by the board to this end. For sew
eral days past the matter has been
under consideration, and only after
a lengthy discussion on Monday did
the board finally decide to advertise
for tract Of land suitable for the
purpose. This does not mean that
there is any certainty of the county
operating its own poor farm, for the
reason that unless a suitable loca-
tion is had and at a reasonable cost.
the board will not give further con-
sideration to the matter. As to this,
however, there is little doubt, as
there are many sections of the
county suitable for the location of
home for the wards of the county,
and these will all be given consider
alton at the hands of the board, if
proposals are forthcoming from per-
sons located in those sections.
The board estimated yesterday
that 40-acre tract would serve the
county's purpose we'll, and that a
smaller place might answer. If the
proposals submitted to be opened
on Tuesday, July 27, are satisfac-
tory to the board members COM
mittee of three persons will be
named to act as appraisers of the
land values, and on their judgment
the board will act.
The poor and INDECENT sick of Nez
Perce county last year cost the peo-
pie SO, 435. .63, and it is believed by
the board that by maintaining it's
own farm this cost could be materi-
ally reduced. In addition to caring
for those who are inmates on the
farm it has been figured out that
the supplies needed by those stay
ing at their own homes could be
furnished from the products of the
place, as we'll as foodstuffs capable
of being furnished from farm for
use at the county Jail. In this way
it is estimated that several hundred
dollars per annum would be netted
the county. Of the amount stated
above only $2,591.19 is charged as
poor farm expenses.

School Moneys Apportioned

Boise, July 19.-State Treasurer
Eagleson having reported that there
is $3.50, 161 .43 available in the state
common school fund, the depart
ment of education Immediately made
out the apportionment. In 1914 the
common school fund amounted to
$23O,714.33. The per capita was
figured at $2.O17315. For 1915 the
per capita will be $2.O8645.
The apportionment was figured
with the 1914 census as a basis.
That census placed the school popu-
lation of the state at 1883.
Nez Perce county, with 5,319
children, receives $11 ,O97.83; Latah
county, with 6,757, gets $14, 098.-
IA; Lewis county, 2.204, $4,598.53;
Clearwater, 1,247, 81, ,601 80; Idaho,
4,081, $8,514.80. Ada county has
the largest number of school child
ren, 9,749, and will receive $780,
340s 80. Custer county, with only
839 children, receives the smallest
amount, 81, ,750.
The common school fund is that
money raised by the state for school
purposes. After it has been appor-
toned among the various counties,
the counties will apportion it among
their districts, on basis of school
population.
The share to be received of the
funds by the four new counties was
not figured out by the state depart
ment of education because it had no
basis upon which to work. Their
apportionment will be made as soon
as certified figures are received
showing how much of the school
population went from the old coun-
ties to the new.

Live Stock Show at
Lewiston This Fall

Lie 1910 CAlllUlCloll VI VIC 1NOl ILL
west Livestock Show at Lewiston,
November 29-December 4, will con-
tain $4,000 in premiums, this fact
suggesting the magnitude of this
exhibition which is given under the
auspices of the Northwest Livestock
Association, and which in four years
has grown to rank in standard with
three other great livestock shows of
the United States-The Chicago
International, the Kansas City Royal
and the Denver Shows. Secretary
Smith of the Northwest Livestock
Association has provided a prelimi-
nary statement of the 1915 Premium
List showing the wide range of
classification and the sums to be
allotted in all classes. In the horse
division are Shires, Belgians, Clydes-
dales, Percherons, Grades, Saddle,
Driving, Standard, Army, and Tho
roughbreds. In each of these classi-
fications, six to eight premiums are
awarded. In Dairy lines the exhibi-
tion is again to give much promi-
nence with a view Of encouraging
this industry. Jerseys, Holsteins,
Guernseys. Ayrshires, Grades, and
Milking Shorthorns are included in
the classifications. The latter breed
has recently been added. The prizes
in dairy lines run from $25 first, to
$40 for third, and the Sweepstakes
dairy cow will receive $1O0. In the
Beef classification and in the Pure
bred classification on cattle, many
hundreds of dollars are to be allotted
and this applies also to swine, with
fine representation in the Premium
List for Sheep. The sheep classifi-
cation embraces Cotswold, Lincolns,
Shropahire, Oxford, Hampshire,
Rambouillet. The advices received
by the Livestock Association show
that there is much interest among
growers in the fat cattle, fat swine
and fat sheep departments this year,
and with improved breeding and
feeding methods the competition
promises to be stronger than any
past year. The first prize on car
lots of cattle will be $500; I'd, 5000;
Sd, $1O0. In swine, the first car
lot prize will be $3.50; I'd, $3.50;
Sd, $1OO. In fat sheep, the first
prizes will be $3.50; I'd, $50; Sd,
$100.
Secretary Smith of the Association
is now in the field comforting with
stockmen and breeders. and has re
ceived such encouragement as tc
surpass in all particulars the past
exhibition. He is finding that in
stitution one to be encouraged
in every way possible on account OF
the influence that is exerting in i'm
proving the livestock industry anc
generally benefitting the farming
regions.

Few Delinquents
in Second Half

According to the books of Ruth
W. Broman, ex-officia tax collector,
taxes for the second half payment
due July 3, were entirely paid in
with the exception of 81 ,283.87, on
which the property became delin-
quent and the work of issuing tax
sale certificates is now in progress.
The total amount collected in second
half payments was $25, ,492.99. Un-
der the present law the tax sale GER
tificate will draw 18 per cent inter-
est until paid, whether the certifi-
cate is held by the county or is pur-
chased by an individual.
The end of this year will see a
change in the operation of the de-
linquent tax law. Property on the
1915 tax rolls becoming delinquent
January /. will draw IL per cent
interest until paid instead of Is per
cent as at present. Instead of the 10
per cent penalty to be added this
has been reduced to per cent. The
a per cent penalty on half payments
will be eliminated entirely.
Delinquent property will be re-
deemable by the owner at any time
within two years following the de-
linquency by paying the interest.
Should the property not be re-
deemed it is necessary to quiet title
in the courts by foreclosure proceed
ings the same as in the case of
mortgage foreclosure. Failure to
foreclose on a tax sale certificate
results in the property reverting to
the county at once.
Auditor Estes stated that he had
received some applications for the
purchase of tax sale certificates and
that probably all the property de-
linquent in the second half pay
ments would be taken up by per-
sons desiring to earn the interest.

Mrs. Tysher was found dead in
her bed last Thursday morning at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. w.
Kolkman of Fur Bluff. The deceas-
ed was about seventy years of age
and had been a constant sufferer
for number of years. Thursday
morning the daughter went to her
mothers room to see how she had
rested during the night and after
raising the window curtain she
spoke to her mother and no answer
came and the first look at the bed
revealed the fact that the old lady
had passed from her earthly home
and out of reach of the pains of
suffering. The remains were ship
ped to Moscow Friday for burial.

Commonsense Treatment for the Shoulders

Are you SO unfortunate as to have
pimply shoulders? II your answer Is
in the affirmative you must adopt
treatment that will Danish the ugly
eruptions, else you can lay no claim
to shoulder beauty, and this would
be sad indeed.
MY suggestion would be. first to
look to your diet, as you can not ex-
lpect to have a smooth skin IL you
eat candy and pie and fried meat. BY
ali means live plainly for the next few
months, as this means destruction to
the Objectionable acne.
You should also try to drink consld-
cradle water between meals, as the
system needs plenty of liquid If 1t is
to keep in order. Plenty of water and
an hours exercise every day In the
open air will help you in this crusade
for presaatable shoulders.
An external treatment for shoul-
ders that.are covered with eruptions,
consists in covering each unsightsy
pimple at might with some good acne
cream Such cream is made thus:
Combine Naptol (beta) two grammes,
and twenty grammes of Potash Soap.
AS the cream will, of course, rub on
during the night unless covered, with
cloth, 1t would be well for you to
swathe shoulders tsnugly in thin
cheesecloth. I Neglect this bit of ad'
vice and am afraid your labor in
the cause Of beauty will. be wasted,
and that you will wake up at dawn to
find your bed linen covered with
grease.
This simple treatment, If given
every night for several weeks. will be
the means of causing the obnoxious
red spots to disappear.
