REPORT
TO COMMISSIONERS

In his report to the board of
county commissioners of his settle
ment with the tax collector as re-
CARDS the collection of taxes on the
real property roll of 1914, Mr..
Estes discloses the healthy financial
condition, that is, if the promptness
and ability shown in the payment
of taxes is indicative of existing
prosperity. The report shows that
taxes only to the amount of SO, ,223.-
IS have gone delinquent; it further
shows that taxpayers have taken
very little advantage, if advantage
it be when you have to pay a four
per cent penalty on deferred pay
ments, of the feature of the law
permitting half-payment of taxes,
as there remains uncollected be-
cause of this provision only $685.

paid on or before the first Monday

An Enjoyable Evening

Leland, Feb. 2.-Friends of Supt.
F. l.. Williams gave him a pleasant
surprise at his home in Leland last
Saturday evening. They rallied at
the home of Mr.. A. H. Smith and
from that place armed with many
good things to eat they descended
in force, at about 8 o'clock p. m.,
upon the legal stronghold of the
village.
Mr.. Williams had just finished
Strengthening out the tangles of a
badly mixed business deal and had
pulled off his shoes and drawn up
his chair in front of the stove in
tending to read his evening paper
and speculate little upon war and
legislation before he went bed; but
he didn't do either, for about that
time an imperative knock on the
door made him jump to see who
was summoning him to some death
bedside to draw last will and
testament. He threw open the
door and threw up his hands with
about the same motion, and when
he got his breath he said he guessed
they were all there, and invited
them in. He seemed some en-
barrassed until he got his shoes on,
then he turned the house over to
his captors, and told them that it
was his one wish that everyone
have the best time possible.
The evening was spent playing
the usual parlor games, acting
charades, and doing lively parlor
stunts. About eleven o'clock re-
freshments were served and near
midnight the guests babe Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams goodnight and
assured that his wish had been full
filled.
Among those present were Mr..
and Mrs. H. c. Smith, Miss Myrtle
Smith of Kendrick, Miss Ruby
Smith of Leland, Miss Alice West,
Miss Hazel Craig, Miss Myrtle
Rains, Miss Emma Pabst, Oral
Craig, Myron Aaack, William Pabst,
George Fleshman, J. Lotspiel,
Ralph Back. Howard Smith, and
Mentor Williams.

DIVIDE THE COUNTY
into FOUR DISTRICTS

Lewiston, Jan. 3O.-The officers
OF the highway association Of the
county met yesterday afternoon at
the office of County Engineer E. N.
Booth and adopted plans for organ
izing the campaign for permanent
highway construction in Nez Perce
county. In the first place the
county will be divided into four
districts and while the money for
the proposed improvements will be
provided by a county bond issue.
the money derived from taxes in
each district will be applied to i'm
provements within the district.
The county issue is favored because
of county bonds finding a more
ready sale than district highway
bonds and a lower rate of interest
can be secured on the county issue.
The data secured from County
Engineer E. M. Booth shows there
are 500 miles of travelled highways
in the county and it is proposed to
convert $50 miles into trunk lines
to be permanently improved. The
data also shows the county is annu-
ally spending for the maintenance
of roads and bridges approximately
SAG, 900 and it is stated that this
sum would take care of the interest
and sinking fund and a sufficient
maintenance fund in the event the
county bonds are voted to make
permanent improvements through
out the county. In other words
the permanent roads can be con-
structed and maintained without
costing the taxpayers more money
than is now paid annually for the
present highways. 1t was also
shown that there are 78, 400 acres of
Indian land in Nez Perce county of
an estimated valuation of about
So 100000 that will become taxable
in 1920.
The meeeing was attended yester-
day by William Bozarth, of Guide
sac; D. ]. Wyatt, Webb Ridge; T.
o. Crozier, Culdesac; Louis Clark,
Clifford; and Joseph Schultz, Le-
land. The four districts proposed
were divided with view of each
district receiving funds in proper
tion to the amount of roads to be
constructed in the district. The
first district will embrace all of
that portion of the county north of
the Clearwater river and west of
line extended north from Arrow
Junction and also all of that por-
tion of the county south of the
Clearwater river and west of the
reservation line.
The second district will be en-
tirely south of the Clearwater river
and to the east of the first district.
Its northern and eastern boundary
shall extend along the Clearwater
river to Myrtle, thence easterly
along the south breaks of Cotton
wood canyon to the dividing line be-
tween townships 2 and 8 and thence
to the Lewis county line.
1HC IillIu ulSIIlCC VIII COIlpTlSc
Clifford, Summit, Melrose and Peck
sections and will be bounded by
Cottonwood creek on the south and
west, the reservation line on the
north and the Lewis county bound
ary on the east.
The fourth district shall con-
stitute all of that portion of the
county east of the Potlatch creek
and north of the reservation line.
Last evening the delegates from
outside points met with the county
commissioners and a number of
Lewiston citizens at the Elk's club
and the matter of road improve
ments was discussed informally.

There is some talk of the city
levying small tax this year to be
used in rocking the streets. Com
mencing at the Bear creek bridge
and working toward town for some
stated distance. Then next year
doing the same thing until the
streets are all rocked. Think it
over it is a good proposition, is it
not?

with revers extending from collar to
hem; one or two designs showing the
Louis XVIII influence, and the 1870 per-
iod, with slender, fitted backs and
waists, and full circular, faring
basques.
Frocks of taffeta and faille are ac-
companied by harmonizing coats of vel
ours de laine, velvet or plush, cut Red
ingote fashion, or on short, tight fitting
lines. Velvet is one of the smartest
coat materials of the season. On the
Avenue, and in the tea rooms every
afternoon( one may see any number of
smart little frocks of taffeta or faille,
with short, full skirts and harmonizing
small coats, or basques of velvet, or
plush, fitting snugly over the bust,
curving at the waistline, button from
the top of the high choker collar to the
pointed lower edge, often forming pan
nier-like draperies over the hips. There
is no material richer or more becoming
than velvet.
The Russian influence
In the more dressy coats one notices
a decided leaning toward the Russian.
There is something smart and youthful
about the double breasted, high collared
RUSSIAN coat, with its trimming of fur
which makes it appeal to many These
models are made in various lengths, ac-
cording to the purpose for which they
are intended. One of the smartest coats
OF the season was developed in Petro-
grad green velours lie laine, on Russian
lines, collared, cuffed and banded
around the lower edge with beaver.
Large crocheted buttons of antique gold
cord closed the coat and finished the
wide girdle of green yelours. A smart
little turban of the beaver completed
most attractive ensemble.
The Collar Makes the Coat
1t appears as if all the designers
ingenuity has been conferred on the col
lar of the coat. There are wide cape
collars, ChinChin collars, Quaker col
lars dating from the time of Incroyables,
high Directoire collars, and many others.
Often these are of fur, one of the short
haired pelts, preferably beaver, nutria,
seal or krimmer; and then again they
are of the material of the coat, elab-
orately trimmed with braid, embroidery.

FUR A FAVORED TRIMMING

Early in the season when Paris placed
her stamp of approval on the frcck of
Taffeta, and then little later adopted
the one-piece frock of serge and gabar-
dine, on Princess and semi Princess
lines, for almost every occasion, de-
mand was straightway created for the
separate coat. Designers are now Civ
ing much of their attention to this i'm
Portant garment.
A Season of Separate Coats
1t is essentially season of separate
coats. At any public gathering the
performance of the one-piece dress
with its accompanying coat is notice
able. Princess and semi -Princess frocks
OF serge or gabardine, braid trimmed,
and rather severe, are preferred for
mornings; to wear with these frocks
Paris has given us an all-enveloping
coat, also Of serge or gabardine, called
the coat dress. Then there are many

When Baby Has the Group

When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best of
health struggling for breath, she is
naturally alarmed. Yet if she can keep
her presence of MIND and give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy every ten
minutes until vomiting is produced,
quick relief will follow and the child
win drop to sleep to awaken in the
morning a. well as ever. This remedy
has been in use for many years with
uniform success. 0btainable every
where.

A Word on Fur Fabrics

While these fabrics have been used
for coats and wraps for a season or two,
they have never reached the perfection
that they have this winter. At show
ing of coats and wraps at the Ritz, a
short time ago, these fur cloths were
used exclusively. There are baby lamb
cloths, caracul cloths, monkey skin, and
any number of others bearing the man
ufacturers trade names. These ma
terials are especially well suited to even
ing wraps, and the more dressy day
coats. They are warm, light of weight,
richly colored, and generally satisfae-
tory.
These fabrics are attractive, too, for
trimmings, collars, SUITS and trimming
bands on coats of other materials. An
African brown baby-lamb cloth is es-
pecially beautiful for the last mentioned
use.
