COURT CONFIRMS ADVICE
YANT|S GAVE TO k|BBE
Rules That BOotlegging Complaint
Was Improperly Drawn-BOys
Are Freed.

Confirming the advice given by
Prosecuting Attorney Geo. F. Yantis
to Attorney P. c. Kibbe of Tenino
following the boys first trial, Supe-
rior Judge Wright Thursday dis
missed the charge of bootlegging
against Goldie Smith and e. Nell and
ruled that the verdict convicting them
at their last trial at Rochester was
illegal, because the complaint under
which they were tried, prepared by
Kibbe, was improperly drawn, having
been signed by Kibbe as notary in
stead of by justice of the peace.
Prosecuting Attorney Yantis had
nothing to do with the preparation Of
the case, being called into 1t by Kibbe
after the first trial had started at
Bucoda. At the close of it, which
ended in a disagreement, Yantis ac-
vised Kibbe to prepare a new COM
plant, but the Tenino official declined
to do so because he would have had
to pay the costs already piled up. The
charge against the boys being an
alleged violation of Tenino ordi-
nance and not a county case, Yantis
did not interfere any further, but at
Kibbe's request attended the other
trials, which resulted in the convic-
tion of Nell and Smith at Rochester
last Saturday.
The boys are now at liberty, under
Judge Wright's ruling.

Road and Bridge Fund Less.
The chief cut made by the board
this year is of one mill in the general
road and bridge levy, though the
road district levies are the same for
1917 as for this year, 5 mills.
The cut in the general road levy is
a reduction of half a mill more
than first proposed in the tentative
budget adopted at the first meeting
in September, the levy for this year
being 3h mills and for next year
2h. Tho remainder of the cut of
7Sl1OO of a mill is the result of mis-
cellaneous reductions in various de-
partments, no one Of which stands
out as big item in itself.
Payment of large sum of delin-
quent taxes by the Weyerhaueser
Timber company last summer, enabl-
ing the county to pay Off all it's in
debtedness and to finish this year
with substantial cash balance, is
a big factor in making it possible for
the commissioners to reduce the
amount of money to be paid in. taxes
for in 1917. This cash balance and
the receipts of the various depart.
ments for next year will amount to
approximately $4,000, 1t is estimat-
ed, reducing the amount to be raised
for the current expenses Of the coun-
ty next year from $sS,5o9 to $751;
500.
Distribution of Levy.
The county levy is distributed as
follows: current expense, 3.71 mills;
soldiers and sailors relief 100;
general road and bridge, $50; gem
eral county school, 3.98. To this
must be added the state levy OF IT..
making a total general levy appli-
cable to every taxpayer in the coun-
ty of 1892 mills. In those portions
Of the county outside Olympia, tax
payers win be called on to pay in
addition to this 1892 mills, road
district levy of mills and the school
levy for their respective districts,
which is fixed by the directors OF
those districts and will run any
where from nothing at all to 10
mills.
The olympia taxpayer must add
to the 1892 state and county levy.
the city levy of 2O.5 mills, and the
special school levy of 10 mills. both
of which are the same as this year.
On this basis the Olympia taxpayer
will pay 48.42 mills IN taxes IN
1917. For the current year the total
is 1872 mills.

If This Real Farmer
Is Chosen Lawnlaker
Watch a Live One

Among visitors in Omaha is Joseph
Osler of Elsie, who has the distihc-
tion of being real farmer running
for the legislature inthe 10th rep
resentative district, comprising Hayes,
Chase anti Perkins counties.
Mr.. Osler, who is one of the early
pioneers of that part of the state,
having homesteaded part of his pres
ent farm in 1885, and is the man who
in the National Farmers" Congress
last year at Omhaa, had the nerve
and ability to successfully reply to a
speech that was made on the floor OF
then Congress, thab left the impression
that western Nebraska did not have
much money and did not cut much
hgureI All present remembers that
the way. he corrected hatkroneous
impression in convincing language
was revelation to that audience of
representative menY from the different
states of the union. Mr.. Osler's S.
speech at that congress did more, to
set western Nebraska right before
the people of the United States than
that has ever been said.
Mr.. Osler does not farm the farmer
as the politicians do, but he farms
the soil and raises cattle, horses and
hogs, and fattens them out for the
market; he runs his own ranch and
attents to his own busines, and stands
well with his neighbors. He is
voucher for as man who stands for
morality and god government, and
no man has done more to help the
churches and Sunday schools in that
section. If a legislature could be
made up Of men like, him, Nebraska
could expect legislation only bene-
fetal to the state, rather than just
squandering the tax payers money.

is AMAZED AT THE CHARGE
Leaves to Secretary of War
Difficulties in Extricating
Self From Suggestions.
NOMINEE SPEAKS AT UTICA

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 27.-Charles E.
Hughes today told an audience here
that vote for him, far from being
a vote for war; was vote for last
ing peace. Mr.. Hughes also declared
that he would leave to the secretary
of war his difficulties in the effort
to extricate himself from the unfor-
tunate suggestions which were re-
ported to have been made by him in
recent utterances.
1t was Mr.. Hughes first speech Of
the day. 1T is said that a vote for
me means vote for war;" 'Mr.
Hughes asserted. What a prepes-
ferrous suggestion. A vote for me is
vote for lasting peace because it is
a vote for maintaining the honor of
the country, for maintaining both the
self-respect and esteem of all of the
nations of the earth. lF
Il am amazed at the charge that
is thus brought in the light OF the ac-
tions which our opponents have taken
with respect to our neighboring conn-
try of Mexico If there was everfa
policy menacing to safety, policy
which was the opposite of policy for
the conservation of peace, it was the
policy which was there pursued-if,
indeed, it could, in view of the incon-
sistency of action taken, be called
policy at all.
II leave to the secretary of war his
