Assess Mineral Claims

Latah county proposed to here
after assess reservations. In
selling land both the Potlatch Lum-
ber Co. and the Northern Pacific
railroad company reserves the min
eral that may be discovered on the
land. 1t is reported that Latah
county has instructed the assessor
to value these mineral reservations
at $400 per quarter, which will add
some 100000 to the taxable prop
erty of the county. This is the
way a Republican board of county
commissioners is standing in with
corporations up in Latah county.
If the people elect honorable men
to public office the brand of their
politics will not matter, and it is
nonsense to talk about one political
party having monopoly on homes

in all parties. "By their fruits ye

Husbands

Leland, Feb. 16.-The members
of the Woman's Home Missionary
Society entertained their husbands
and sons and a few friends at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Humid
on the evening of February ninth.
In spite of the inclemency of the
weather, about forty people were
present. A short but very appro-
pirate program was rendered, the
leading feature of which was his
tory of the work of the society by
Mrs. w. A. McGhee. A bounteous
spread of good things to eat, which
none know better how to prepare
than these same women, was an E.
vent that still fingers in the minds
of those who partook. Everyone
had a thoroughly good time and no
one was heard to complain of the
rainy night. Hints of more enter
tainments Of this nature have been
heard and it is the fondest hope of
this writer that he may be one of
the favored ones.

An Editors Easy Life

1t is easy to be an editor, the
Normal Bulletin says. To run a
newspaper successfully a man has
merely to be able to write poems,
discuss the tariff and money ques-
tions, umpire a baseball game, re-
port wedding, saw wood, describe
a fire so that the readers will shed
their wraps, make 81 do the work
of $40, shine at a dance, measure
calico, abuse the liquor habit, test
whiskey, subscribe to charity, go
without meals, attack free silver,
wear diamonds, invent advertise
ments, sneer at snobbery, overlook
scandal, appraise babies, delight
pumpkin raisers, minister to the
afflicted, lead the disgruntled, fight
to finish, set type, mold opinion,
sweep out the office, speak at the
prayer meeting, and stand in with
everybody. And in addition to the
above essentials the poor editor has
to print a paper once a week.-Ex-

Lazy Farmers, Don't Read

The United States Department of
Agriculture, the state boards and
the experts all over the country are
urging the farmers of America to
cultivate every available acre dur
ing the coming year. The war in
Europe assures the sale of almost
everything that can be raised. Ev-
cry article that is exported to feed
the soldiers and the citizens and
the stock of Europe means Just
that much less for home consump-
tion, therefore, even with big crops
of every thing, the prices will be
high. If it is not a good crop year
the farmer will at least, raise e.
nough for home use and will not
have to pay the high prices that
will prevail. utilize every availa-
BILE acre for grain grasses and vege-
tables. In many sections farmers
are urged to try a double acreage
OF potatoes. 1t should not be ne
cessary, under proper conditions, to
import potatoes into any agricul-
tural county. Put the hens and the
turkeys to work and give them
square deal. Raise pigs, cattle and
horses in as large numbers as the
Accommodations of the farm will JUS
tify and any losses that any farmer,
planter or rancher may have sus-
tained last year will be more than
made good. The war in Europe
may last for months or years, but
while it continues there will be an
active demand for everything we
produce. Should the war end this
week the nations engaged will need
all our surplus products for year
at least. Take our advice, for once
and do not permit good, tillable
land to lie idle in 1915.

NAME
MAGIC WORD

Boise, Feb. 15.-Republican par
ty harmony about festive board
was in evidence last night at the
Owyhee on the occasion of the fifth
annual meeting of the Idaho State
Lincoln Day Banquet association
and close to 400 believers in the DO
litical faith of the &c. O. p" not
only enjoyed an exceptionally we'll
served and sumptuous repast. but
listened with pleasure, punctuated
with enthusiasm, to a number of
addresses and the reading of mes
sages from the party's foremost
leaders in congress. If the boom
sweeping the country for United
States Senator William E. Borah as
the republican party candidate for
president of the United States
needed impetus to make it real
possibility, depended upon the en-
thusiastic support of his Idaho ad-
mirers, he is already in the race.
The mere mention of the name
of the senior senator from Idaho
resulted in applause and cheers.
This was particularly so when his
message predicting the inaugura-
tion of republican administration
at IL O'Clock noon, March 4, 1917,
was read.
The association elected by unani-
nous choice as its new president,
Frank T. Wyman, one of the most
prominent attorneys in this city.
His name was placed before the
association by Ex-Governor Frank
R. Gooding.

Good Price For Oats

Talk about not paying to farm in
the Potlatch country. Last week
Fred Meilke of the Potlatch ridge
came to town and sold his last
years crop of oats. After keeping
out his feed and seed for the COM
ing year he sold off of 1O5 acres,
$2727.75 worth of grain. This is
one of many farmers who are real
izing good receipts from their la
bors. Mr.. Meilke is a prosperous
farmer because he farms on a sys-
tematic plan and any farmer who
will do this will reap the reward.

HAYNES COMPLAINS
OF JUDGE STEELE

Boise, Feb. 16.-Charging that
Judge Edgar c. Steele of the second
judicial district has drawn his sala-
ry without having decided cases
submitted to him more than 80
days previously, and citing other
alleged derelictions, L. l.. Haynes
of Lewiston filed impeachment pro-
ceedings in the house Of representa-
tives today against the jurist. The
complaint was referred to the judi
ciary committee.
The complaint sets forth that a
district judge is required by the
constitution to make an affidavit
that he has decided all matters
pending before him that have been
submitted for a period of 80 days
previous to the date of such affida-
Wit before he is allowed to draw
his salary.
This provision, the complaint al
leges, Judge Steele has disregarded.
The following cases are cited as in
stances: Estate of Sarah C. Thomp-
son, deceased; J. Howard Howe a.
gainst the First Presbyterian church
of Lewiston, and Northern Pacific
Railway company against D. G..
Herzel, city of Lewiston, inter-
venor.
1t is also charged that Judge
Steele has failed to enter modi-
fled judgment in the case of the
Commercial Trust company against
the Idaho Brick company, in COM
pliance with a decision rendered
during the month of April, 1914,
by the supreme court. This is al
legged to be a violation of the con-
stitutional requirements.
The complaint asks that a hear
ing be ordered and the clerk of the
district court for Nez Perce county
be summoned as witness. Should
the charges be sustained the COM
plainant asks that the office Of
Judge Steele be declared vacant.
Boise, Feb. Believing that
the impeachment articles as presen-
ted by L. L. Haynes of Lewiston,
preferring charges against District
Judge Edgar C. Steele were unwor-
thy of consideration, the house ju-
dietary committee, to which the
matter had been referred, this
morning reported that no resolu-
tions should be adopted, that no
articles of Impeachment be prepar-
ed, and that the matter be not
pressed. The House adopted the
report of the judiciary committee
unanimously.
The committee listened to the
witnesses last night in connection
with the matter on which testimony
they afterwards based the recon-
mendations made today.

Efforts to Get Farmers Here

Star Mirror, Monday.-C. A.
Tenwick, Secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, returned Saturday
evening from Spokane where for
the past few days he has been in
attendance upon meetings of the
immigration congress of the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Tenwick says that he and
other representatives of Latah
county were royalty treated but
that he has come back firmly con-
vinced that whatever immigration
comes this way, we will have to get
out and work for.
"They have letters up there to
show that fully $4,000 farmers are
looking for homes out this way and
will soon come west, but the pres
sure will all be towards drawing
them to the Big Bend country. We
must have some one right in Spo-
kane and we must have plenty of
literature there to show them. We
have to put forth our best efforts
to draw them to this territory. l
believe there will be plenty of them
travelling. 1t will be our job to
make things in Latah county look
attractive to them"

Birds Spread Hog Cholera

Buzzards, crows and other birds
are active agents in the spread of
hog cholera. They visit place where
there is carrion or offal of any sort
and they have thus been known to
transport hog cholera germs for
long distances. All hogs therefore,
that die, should be burned or deep
ly buried. This will do much to-
check the spread of infectious swine
diseases.

that has any show to get any money

The above article is printed to
show what man thinks who atten-
ded meeting in Spokane last week
to which number of business men
of this city were invited to attend.
They make us believe that we are
in the game and want our assist
ance, but it is for one selfish mo-
tive, to make their own proposition
look better. If we get any new
blood into this city and country we
will have to go after it ourselves.
We want more farmers on smaller
tracts of farm land. 1t will make
a better town of Kendrick, or any
other town to have more people in
the community and smaller farms
The small farm handled right is of
more profit to the farmer than
such large acreage not half farmed.
Let everybody help make a better
Potlatch country by inviting your
eastern friends and relatives to
come to this section if they want
good farms. Then when they come
don't, for the love of mike, hold
them up on the price of land.
