Perfect Appeal
Transcript Is Filed

Lewiston, Jan. 12.-An appeal to
the supreme court has been perfect
ed in the case of H. M. Fluharty,
respondent, VS.. Board of County
Commissioners of Nez Perce county
ct al, appellants. the transcript,
having been filed in the Office of the
supreme court here Tuesday morn
ing. The first session of the su-
preme court to be held in Lewiston
will be ON May 81, when it is sup
posed the case will be tried.
Announcement of the taking of
an appeal by the commissioners was
given some, time ago, too late to be
argued at the fall term of court,
and the transcript of the case was
prepared at leisure and is now just
filed.
The case is regarded as one of
considerable Importance and has to
do with the validity of the appro-
priation made last summer by the
commits 'ioners in aid of the North
west Livestock association. Thru
very numerously signed petitions
the county commissioners were i'm
portuned to make an appropriation
for the benefit of the association.
After careful investigation of the
matter and being fully convinced
that the association was of material
benefit to the community at large,
the commissioners voted the sum of
$2500 for it's benefit and to assist in
financing the stock show held here
last month.
H. M. Fluharty, a farmer of the
Culdesac neighborhood, who is the
respondent in the case just appealed
began suit in the district court to
enjoin the commissioners and the
county auditor from drawing a war
ront for the appropriation.
Judge Steele after hearing argu,
ment in the case decided that the
commissioners had exceeded their
authority in making the appropria.
tion, based his decision on former
decisions by the court. 1t is this de-
cision that is now being appealed
from.
i After the adverce decision hac
been rendered and before appea
could be perfected, acting under the
spur of necessity, the people of Lew
iston secured through subscription.
the money to finance the show which
was held with great success.
The decision of the supreme cour
. will be awaited with great interest

Special Meeting of
The Chamber of
Commerce
At Guy Hotel Tonight

Tuesday evening the Chamber Of
Commerce held its regular meeting,
only a few of the faithful was pre-.
sent. Road matters were the main
topic of the evening. 1t was learn.
ed that the city has made promises
as to what it will do in the way of
making pertinent improvements on
the streets of this little city and
another report was received in re-
gard to what will be dcne on the
road from Wauncher gulch bridge
to the Bear creek bridge. The rock
crusher will be shipped to Kendrick
in few days so that the work can
commence as soon as the roads thaw
in the spring. Now good citizens
Of Kendrick and surrounding coun-
try it is impossible for a few men
to do all that is to be done in the
way of road work in this section
and the only way to get it done is
for more who are interested to come
out and help make a go of it. You
cannot expect a few to do all the
work. We have a club with mem
bership of over thirty members and
at the meeting four or five came
out and the rest are willing that
they should do the work, it is not
right and you are the loosers. A
call meeting will be held at the
Hotel Guy this Friday evening and
every man in this vicinity that is
interested in road building is re.
quested to be present. Supper will
be served at TOO o'clock after
which the meeting will be held
Arrangements are to be made which
will start the log moving in the
! road work Of this vicinity.

A Tale of Two Rails

Of the more than one billion pas
sengers carried annually on Ameri-
can railways, not one, perhaps. in a
thousand, has an opportunity of per-
using the pages of the annual report
of a railway company. To many,
such report with it's many statist-
ical tables and it's brief and more or
less matter of fact statements, would
prove somewhat dry reading. But
there is, actually, large amount of
interesting matter in such report.
Let us for example, study the re-
port of large railway company
the Northern Pacific, for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915.
The income received from the
mechanical operation of the road
was 500, 900, 900 and the correspond
ing operating expense was $37, ,0O0,-
900. The cost of operations plus
the taxes on the property equalled
almost &c per cent of the entire op-
Grating income. That is a fact worth
remembering. A few items of ex-
penditure showing how the bulk Of
this money was expended will prove
of interest.
Road maintenance, including
track laying, surfacing, etc., cost
SO, ,767, 900; replacing old rails cost
1852. 900; new ties, 81, ZOO, 900; bal
lasts renewals cost $126, 900; the ex-
penditures for bridge repains, ETC.,
was 100000. Along another line,
locomotive repairs amounted to $2,-
275 900; repairs to freight cars cost
50, 1862, 900, and those to passenger
cars, 1916, 900. Labor received near
/ ly $21 100000 for its services or 81
per cent of the total operating ex-
pense. Fuel for locomotives aggre-
gated more than $5, 900, 900 in cost.
Labor and engine feul alone con-
sumed 70 per cent approximately,
of the total operating expenditures.
Such an enumeration as this shows
how wonderfully railway enters
into the life of every community a.
long its line. The track crews, the

Court To Hear
Tax Protest
N. P. Will Bring Up Ken
drick School Levy before
Judge Stee.e

Moscow, Jan. l2.-That the
Northern Pacific tax department
will contest the payment of the
special school levies affecting the
the schools of Kendrick and Julia
eta developed today when Prosecut-
ing Attorney F. L. Moore received
a telegram from the tax attorney
that the issues on the protest would
be brought before Judge Steele in
the district court at Lewiston next
Monday morning. 1t is understood
that similar suits have been filed
against school districts in Nez Perce
county.
In connection with the protest,
County Attorney Moore has advised
the Latah county board by letter of
the action by the railway company.
His letter in part follows:
II would advise you to instruct
the county treasurer to not appor-
tion the money paid in by the rail-
way company in payment Of this
special tax in excess of five mills
to either district until there can be
some disposition of the case. l
would also advise that you at once
advise the trustees of both the Ken
drick and Juliaetta districts that
the company is making claim for
their excess"
Mr.. Moore has advised the COM
missioners that the levy in the Ken
drick' district in excess of five mills
was without authority of law as the
act providing for more than five
mill levy did not go into effect un-
til May 9Th, while the district made
its levy in April. In the Juliaetta
district it is regarded as all right,
though close question of law is
involved.

HOW DOES THE FOLLOWING
STRICk YOU

1t has been suggested to us by a
prominent farmer of the Potlatch
country that the road districts sur
rounding the city of Kendrick be
created into one road district and
that one supervisor be placed in
charge who knows how to make
roads. This thing of doing a little
patching here and there is money
thrown away and in the end you
have nothing. 1t is good roads that
make the value of any mans ranch
and without them the value decreases
year bv year. There is no better
place in the world to build good
roads than in this famous Potlatch
country. The raw material is at
our hands if we will only make use
Of it. Think this matter over and
if any good Farmer or Business man
has any views on the matter the col.
umns of the Gazette are open to you
free of charge to discuss the matter
