BANK rs IN GOOD CONDITION.

The regular semi-annual call of the
Idaho Bank Commissioner for a pub
lished financial statement of the banks
in Idaho was responded to this week by
the Salmon River State Bank and APP

The publication shows that the logiea.
institution is in a flourishing con |, 81
with loans and deposits constantly on
the increase. Some four years ago
when Alfred DonaHspn the present
cashier took charge of the bank the
loans were approximately about $780,

ARRESTED FOR DIsoRDERLY CON
DUCT.

A series of street brawls involving
several local characters and eliminating
in the arrest of w. A. Foster was one of
the sensations recorded here last week.
Foster who had taken on liberal sup
ply of John Barleycorn waxed OBJ
under its influence and then
proceed to pummel an old sheep herder
by the name of Soards. The two were
separated and Foster was warned by
bystanders to desist from further DEM
onstrations at which he flew into a
rage and exuded a stream of vulgar
epithets in the presence of ladies. He
was arrested and fined SIS and costs in
Justice Harry B. Zerr's court. Being
unable to pay the fine Foster was taken
to the county Jail at Grangeville.

FAVOR MoNo-RAIL ROAD.
Governor Goes to Boston in August and
limited on Capitalization Trip.

The proposal to build a connecting
link of railroad between existing lines
of north and south Idaho which has
been attracting a good deal of atten-
ton, has at last reached a stage where
it is attracting READ attention. 1t has
finally come to the notice of Darwin
A. Utter, surveyor general for Idaho,
and at last there is a fair prospect
that something will be DONE, It is
reported that Mr.. Utter has addressed
communication to the governor in
which he states that monorail road
would be practicable over the route
selected, and that that kind of road
could be built for about $500 mile,
as against an average of $500 a mile
of surface road. He also says that
either gasoline, electricity or steam
could be utilized for motive power.
Governor Alexander has so far de-
elined to give out any statement as
to how he expects to finance the north
and south road he expects to build, but
he has dropped a hint that he has been
negotiating with Boston capitalists for
financing the proposition.
The governor said he expects to be
in Boston August "a and 81. When
there, he said, he intends to meet
group of financiers, including rep
resentatiye of the Boston Trust com
pany, and will talk railroad finances
with them.
He also announced that in the latter
part of July he will make trip over
one of the proposed routes for the
road, going from New Meadows north
ward in an automobile. He did not say
which of the three proposed routes he
would take.
The impression prevails that it will
be difficult to get much idea of the
proposed routes for the road from an
automobile. This is particularly true
of what is regarded as the favorite
proposed route, down Little Salmon and
Salmon river to White Bird, and then
continuing down Salmon river through
what is largely box canyon, to the
mouth of the river and down Snake
river to Lewiston. There is fully 100
miles of this proposed route that ii

WHITE BIRD HAS GRAND CELE-
BRATION.


With one of the smallest crowds pres
ent in the history of local carnivals, but
with abundance of mirth, hilarity and
excitement White Bird has this week
been celebrating the Fourth. The small
attendance upon the three days pro-
gram can doubtless be explained by the
fact that practically all the surround
ing towns were celebrating, and also by
the fact that the Salmon river coun-
try is now experiencing the busiest sea-
son of the year. Almost every farmer
along the river is engaged in harvest
ing his hay and wheat crop, and the
women are busy with canning fruit.
The recent fire in WhiteBird also served
as a scarecrow to many outsiders con-
templating trip here. But notwith-
standing the diminutive size of the
crowd, the celebration was in every way
success, and patrons in general are
unanimous voicing the opinion that the
program was the best ever put on here
There was a entire absence of accidents
and rowdyism on the street and only
one case of drunkenness was reported
during the entire three days exercises.
The horses brought in for the running
matches outclassed anything ever cross
ing the tape on the local race course,
many of them having track records,
famous throughout the west. The Gill
brothers, Clarence Harrison and the
Nelson boys typical sportsman of the
river country are the proud owners of
the equine celebrities. Handsome
purses were hung for the winners of the
races, and several of the boys left town
Wednesday morning with pockets
stuffed with green backs and jingling
with coin. The ball was set rolling
Sunday afternoon by the patriotic ex-
ercises at the big picnic dinner at the
Richardson grove and which was large
ly attended.
Next came the ball game between
Freedom and White Bird teams and
was one of the spiciest games ever
played here. Sunday evening at Charley
Cone s play house a large crowd was
entertained by moving pictures, and
the remainder of the time foot racing,
horse racing, tug of war and dancing
occupied the minds of the celebrators
About $1,000 in bets changed hands on
the various races and $500 was carrie
off in purses. The committees having
the program in charge namely, Leo
Hreidenrich, Roy Gully, Roy GORDON
and E. j. Nichol are deserving the sin
cere thanks of the entire community for
their successful management of the
affair.

REL1Nou1sH MAIL CONTRACT.

Warden brothers who were granted
the contract of carrying the mails be-
tween White Bird and Boles post of
flee year ago, this week threw up the
obligations and withdrew from the
job. The reasons advanced by
the contractors for the action are that
the figures of the contract are too low
to operate the line on a paying basis,
and the expenses for parephernalia,
drivers, feed and other indispensibles
are enormous. Hay and grain in the
Joseph country can not be bought at
this season of the year, and during the
winter months the snow is so deep that
the roads are impossible. The present
Figures of the contract is $4,000, and
there is SOME revenues from express.

REPORT ON LAND STILL uNsoLD.
Good Land in Many Districts Offer
Great Opportunities.

The end of the fiscal year with the
United States land office here came
on June 80. The receiver and register
since that date have been preparing
their report of business done. From
the partially completed report the fol-
lowing facts are CLEANED:
The district embraces the counties of
Nez Perez, Latah, Idaho, Lewis, Clear
water and a portion of Shoshone In
the district there remains area of un-
surveyed and surveyed lands unappro-
priated aggregating 293, 500 acres. The
nnsurveyed area is small, consisting of
500 acres in Idaho county and lo,6So in
Nez Perez.
The surveyed lands in the district
that had not been taken July l, 1914,
aggregated 234,516 acres, located in the
following counties. Clearwater, 2S,290
acres; Idaho, 13s,560; Latah, 1902;
Lewis, 1896; Nez Perez, 53,203, sho-
shone, 3245. The unappropriated sur
veyed land on July /, 1915, is report
ed to be as follows: Clearwater county.
26,679; Idaho, 105,35l; Latah, 1902;
Lewis 1856; Nez Perez 34,254; Sho.
shone, 2644. Lands were taken during
the year to the aggregate of 54,941
acres.
Most of the land taken during the
year was in Idaho and Nezperce coun-
ties. The larger portion of this was
of lands that were taken as homesteads
for the purpose of securing stock range,
and in many cases filings have been
made where there was only few acr
of the land it will be possible to put
under cultivation. However, it has al
so been noted by the officials of the
land department that where some of
the filings were made although but
little farming land was secured there
was a substantial securing of cnoice
pasture lands, and in some case there
was an intention on the part of the en-
trymen to improve his filing Ivy seed
ing the land to some of the better
known forage crops, first clearing away
useless underbrush. Lewiston Tribune.

Richard Irwin of Higgins has gone to

river burg is a Socialist stronghold, an
such as is contemplated
would doubtless meet with success.
