WITH THE OBJECT OF DECREAS-
ING COST OF SERVICE READ
vERTISES MAIL ROUTES.
FLAT BID ON FIRST 600 LBS.
Contractors Not to Get Pay for Parcel
Post Matter For Their
Own Use.

Apparently dissatisfied with the
present cost of transporting the mails
on the star routes heading from the
Grangeville office, the government has
re advertised the same, bids to be into
the department by April 20. The ad-
vertisements just posted provide for
the same number of trips as under the
present contract but ask for figures
on the first six hundred pounds of mail
and then by the hundred pounds on the
fourth class thereafter. The following
is taken from the advertisement for
the Grangeville- New Meadows line and
the Clearwater line is similar except
ing as to the offices named.
Contractor to be required to trans
port all first, second, and third class
mail and quantity of fourth class
sufficient to make load which he
may limit to 600 pounds, on schedule
stated, and to transport also the other
fourth class mail whenever a load ag-
gregating 1000 pounds of such mail is
accumulated at any point or points
on the route, but no matter how small
the quantity before any such mail has
been awaiting dispatch for more then
6 days on a schedule satisfactory to
the department but not to exceed
days running time between tremini
bidder to state rate per year for the
regular six round trips a week and
separately in the same bid rate per 100
pounds for fourth class mail carried on
additional trips or in excess of 600
pounds on regular trips either way be-
tween Grangeville and White Bird, be
tween Grangeville and Lucille, between
Grangeville and Higgins, between
Grangeville and Pollock, and b.tween
Grangeville and New Meadows, also
between New Meadows and Pollock.
between New Meadows and higgins
between New Meadows and Lucille, be-
teen New Meadows and White Bird,
without regard to any change in the
regulations governing size or weight of
parcels, payments to be based upon the
weight of such mail taken from and
delivered to the post offices at Grange
vile and New Meadows, as certified
by the post masters at those places,
with the specific understandings that
the department will not pay for the
transportation on this route of any
parcel post matter consigned to or for
the use of the contractor, also that if it
is necessary to pay the weight basis
for transporting parcel post mail which
may be delivered or collected along the
route between the points named, such
payment shall be at the rate applicable
to the point nearest the place where
such mail be delivered or received.
1t is very probable that bids for
service on the Stites-E Elk City line have
also been called for.

POCKET KNIFE IN THE HAND OF
GEORGE ROBINSON CAUSES
THE INJURY.
ROBINSON LODGED IN JAIL
Bail Fixed at $50O-Preliminary Hear
ing Set for March 22-Smith Con-
fined to House by Wound.

BY reason of the careless use of a
pocket knife in the hands of George
Robinson, that party is in the county
Jail with his bail fixed at $500 and
nightwatchman w. o. Smith is confin-
ed to his home with rather nasty
wound in the calf of his left leg,
several stitches having been taken to
close up the cut
Friday evening officer Smith was
called to take Robinson in custody as
he had been drinking and it was feared
that he would cause trouble. Bill had
taken the party in charge and was tax
ing him up the street preparatory to
l.dging him in jail When they were
UP in front of the Miller Implement &
Hardware store Robinson broke away
from Smith and pulled out his knife
and started to open it at the same time
making threat.
He then made dive at the officer
and Bill lodged and pushed the assial-
ant to the walk. Robinson then grabbed
Smith around the leg and began cutting
at the calf of mis- leg. Smith was COM
PEELED to strike Robinson several blows
on the head with his billy to dislodge
and loosen the hold which he had.
Deputy Sheriff Quinlan came to the as
sistance OIL Smith and took the prisoner
and lodged him in the county Jail.
The wound on Bills leg while not
serious is severe and will keep him in
the house for a week or ten days
When the scuffle occurred the knife
disappeared and could not be found but
was later picked up in the street. Sc
far Robinson has been unable to find
bondsmen to go on his bond and remains
in the county Jail. The preliminary
hearing is set for Monday the 22nd day
of March. E. NJ Griffith is defen
dant IS attorney.

WILL MAKE BOTH BRANDS.
Joe Coyne Buys Interests of Robert
Todd and Will Make Ell vago Cigar.

Last Saturday Joe Coyne bought out
the interests of Robert Todd in his
cigar making establishment, acquiring
the stock and the exclusive right to
make the Ell Vago cigar and from now
on both the Ell Vago and the La Cos
terino will be made in Joe's factory.
Under the contract between the par
ties Mr.. Todd agrees not to engage in
the manufacture of cigars in Idaho,
Lewis and Nezperce counties and dis
poses of all his right to the Ell Vago
brand of cigars which were formerly
made by him.
Joe plans to give the old satisfactory
service to his customers and to improve
the quality of his cigars in every way
possible Poth brands of cigars have
a good sale over this section of the
country and in the neighboring coun'
ties. Mr.. Eresch is again in the shop
making cigars for Mr.. Coyne.

GOVERNOR ALEXANDER MAKES
GOOD ON PROMISE TO REDUCE
STATE EXPENDITURES A
ROUND MILLION.

Governor Alexander promised to save
the taxridden people of the state of
Idaho round million dollars, through
economy which he was persistently in
sisted upon and because of which
policy the legislature which has just
adjourned pruned appropriation bills
down to the minimum under the de-
termined attitude of the chief execu-
tive who, for very good reasons, vetoed
appropriation bills of the pork barrel
variety and secured an itimization of
the general appropriation bill which
will, in all probability result in fur
ing good his promise. Up to the pres
ent time he has made reduction over
the Haines administration in appro-
priations alone of $792, ,402.76 leaving a
balance of 1907 1924 of the $1,000,
900 which will probably be saved be-
fore the governor is through with the
dppFopIldIioh piiLS IhdI VIII sooh ue III
his possession.
Republicans Pass Appropriations.
Although the republicans were in
control of both branches of the legis-
lature, most of the appropriation bills
for road, bridge, fairs and other issues,
were repeatedly passed by both houses
and sent to the governor. Had all of
these bills been approved by the gov
ernor as they had been approved by the
majority branches or both houses of the
legislature, the total appropriation of
the Thirteenth legislature would have
been as great or greater than the ap-
preparations of the Legislature of two
years ago. The governor, however, ap-
piled the veto axe with vigor and be-

the police shortly afterwards because
it was claimed by many eye witnesses
that he was abusive and indulged in
profane language. In police court this
morning he was fined $40. Dunlap
claims that Mcleod was driving in a
reckless and careless manner. He
took the matter up with an attorney
this morning and will undoubtedly
start action against the anto man for
damages to his motor cycle.
According to Dunlap, he was riding
south of Seventh street at moderate
speed when Mcleod, accompanied by
two women, tore west on Fourth
avenue at terrific rate The machine
caught his broadside, so Dunlap says,
throwing him great distance. In
vestigations after the accident showed
that the front wheels had been torn
from the auto and the entire form of
the cycle crushed.'

TEXT Of new HOMESTEAD LAW
RECEIVED AT LEWISTON THIS WEEK

land office officials set aside for the
same to be thrown open to entry. This
caused much discomfort on the part of
those interesting themselves to any ex-
tent, as in almost every case the 100
acre area sought under the enlarged
homestead act was adjoining home
stead already entered upon, or, at least ],
nearby, and frequently advices that
the land would be subject to filing
have been given persons who had not
interested themselves to have the same
made subject to entry, and further
more, who owned no land near the tract
so designated but who would invoke
the rule of "first come, first served !"
when filing applications before the
register and receiver.
Applications to have lands lesignat-
ed as enlarged homestead areas were
made by the applicant direct to the
secretary of the interior at Washing
ton, and he in turn would notify the
local land offices throughout the diff
ferent sections of the country in
which districts the land sought is To-
Gated to give notification of the date
set for applications to be received, and
the description of the lands affected.
In full the new act follows:
"That where any person qualities to
make entry under the provisions of the
act of February 10, 1909 and acts am
endatory thereof and supplemental
thereto, shall make application to en-
ter under the provisions of said acts
any unappropriated public land in any
state affected thereby which has not
been designated as subject to entry un-
der the act (provided said application
is accompanied and supported by prop
erly corroborated affidavit of the ap-

"BoB'' DUNLAP IN SMAsH-UP.
Motor Cycle He Was Riding Collided
With an Automobile.

Robert Dunlap, former Grangeville
business man who is now located at
Great Falls, Montana, had collision
with an QUITO while ridding his motor
cycle last week and from the report
OF Great Falls paper, was quite for
tunate in getting out alive. The Great
Falls report is as follows:
ga motor cycle belonging to Robert
Dunlap, of the Benton jewelry store,
and machine operated by Dan Nc
Leod, of 1918 Sixth avenue south,
were both badly smashed when they
met about O'Clock last evening at
the corner Of Fourth avenue south and
Seventh street. Dunlap says he was
thrown about 40 feet when the acci-
dent occurred but he sustained no
serious injuries except painful scratches
and bruises.
Mcleod was taken into custody by

THE BEST ROADS IN
THE HISTORY OF
IDAHO COUNTY
AUTOMOBILES HAVE BEEN IN
USE ALL WINTER ON ALL
PARTS OF THE PRAIRIE.
MANY USING SPLIT LOG DRAG
Converts to the Split Log as an I'm
plement. to Promote Good Roads are
Being Made Every Day.

Camas prairie has been noted for
that deep, black soil which sticks to
the wagon wheels and the shoes and
which produces the best crops in the
world. The sickness has been ex-
cused by most everyone by reason of
the fact that the crops raised here on
the prairie are the NOSE bounteous in
the world. And some have said that
there was no use trying to have good
roads, that it is impossible. But where
is that man who used to make such
dolesome statements9
The past two years have seen the
greatest amount Oh road work done in
the county than any two years in times
past. The grader has been used, cul
verts and bridges put in and besides
this the split log drag has been put in
use by the enterprising farmers who
believe that it is possible to have good
roads. AS a result of all this good
work, and more especially the use of
the drag, we have had r-ads on which
the automobiles have been travelling all
winter long.
Those who have had occasion to
travel around the county all remark
about the good condition of the roads.
OF course the remarkably good winter
and has been a factor in favor of the
good condition of the roads, but it will
be noted that at places the roads are
better by reason of the fact that some
enterprising industrious farmer has
been dragging the thoroughfare to i'm
prove its condition.
This promises to be an automobile
year with many in the notion of buy
ing. The auto agents feel very enthu-
siastic by reason of the fact that they
are at this time able to reach almost
every part of the prairie with
the machine they are boosting and try
ing to sell. With good roads, better
farm improvements, automobiles, rural
free delivery, telephones and the rich
est and most productive soil in the
world, the residents of Camas prairie
can we'll boast of one of the m ost con-
genial and prosperous sections in the
United States and welcome the man
who comes west this year to take in
the fair at San Francisco ard to in
vestigate whether we really are as wild
and woolly as the movies depict.
To the man who is still doubtful that
it is impossible to have good roads up
here in the promised land let him fol-
low the example. of his more hopeful
brother, and hitch team on that split
log and go out and convince himself
and his neighbors that little dragging
has a wonderful effect in making bet
ter highways. In doing this you will
be proving that you are booster and
at the some time promoting your own
community's welfare and interests.

fore he was fairly well started the leg
islature realized his determination to
cut down state expenses. In fact it
was openly declared on the senate floor
by one republican member during the
latter days of the session that it would
be good plan for the republican legis-
lature to secure some of the credit for
cutting down state expenses instead of
letting the governor have all of it.
Appropriations Made.
Credit was given the members of the
finance committee of the sen lte for
their recommendations in cutting SILL
600 from the educational budget, and
it was a well known fact that two of
the members of this committee who be-
cause of their long service as members
Of the upper house were able to prune
down the bill so satisfactorily, that the
reduction was made. Those two mem
bers are Senator Ravenel Macbeth of
Custer county and Senator Jerome j.
Day of Latah county. Both we're high
y complimented on the senate floor for
their work, which in itself was most
unusual and tribute.
