manganese steel safe of the lat
est pattern was secured, togeth-
er with other equipment for OPP

CANNOT sUB-LEASE LAND.

CANNOT SUB-LEASE LAND.
0. II. Lipps, superintendent of
the Nez Perce Indian reservation
at Lapwai received from L. b.
Merritt, assistant commissioner
of the department of the interior
office of Indian affairs, the fol-
lowing self explanatory letter:
Your attention is escecially
called to that provision against
the sub-leasing of allotted Indian
lands, appearing in the farming
and grazing lease form, which
reads as follows:
ut is expressly understood
and agreed by the parties hereto
that any suitcase, assignment
or transfer of this lease or of
any interest therein can lawful
ly lie made only with the consent
of the lessor in writing and the
approval of the representative
of the United States government
by whom this lease is approved,
or his successor, and that any
assignment or transfer made OF
attempted without such consent
and approval shall be void and
may render this contract subject
to cancellation by such officer.
ut is desired that you go over
your entire leasing situation
carefully and investigate any
cases where you have reason to
believe that the lands are being
sub-leased. Should you find
any such cases, the lessees
should be at once formally noti-
fled to show cause, if any, with
i'm a reasonable period, say thirty
days, why their leases should not
be cancelled in accordance with
the provision above quoted.
Where there is doubt in your
opinion that the evidence obtain
cd shows subleasing, you should
refer all the papers to this office
accompanied by your full report
for further instructions.
This office would like 10
break up the practice of unauth-
orized. subleasing, and to that
end it is suggested that you give
publicity of its purpose.
The letter is a general one and
applies to all Indian reservations.
The Fort Lapwai agency offici-
ais are of the opinion that there
is no large amount of sub-leasing
on the Nez Perce reservation.
but, Supt. Lipps stated, the let
ter requires that an investiga-
tion be carried on, and this will
he done.

TO FEED THE
DAMAGED GRAIN
DAMAGED GRAIN ON PRAI-
RE CAN BE SAVED
THIS WAY.

Importation of shoats from
the middle west to utilize wheat
damaged by wet weather in Ida
no, Lewis and Nez Perce coun-
ties, was discussed at a meeting
in Grangevi'le Tuesday night.
w. ]. Jordan, travelling freight
and passenger agent for the
Northern Pacific railroad, was
present at the meeting, and will
procure figures as to probable
cost of the shoats, and whether
they can be shipped in transit
from the middle west to Pacific
coast markets, and be brought
to central idaho for feeding pur-
poses under a low freight rate.
Also, matter of financing the
purchase of the shoats was dis
cussed.
There are reported to be thou
sends of bushels of grain in
these three counties that will be
absolutely complete loss to the
farmers if hogs cannot he pro-
cured to eat the damaged grain,
caused from the wet weather OF
the last two weeks, and with no
prospect of the grain again re-
comir@ dry so that it can be
threshed.
In order to procure the hogs
they must be Skinned in from
outside points as Idaho county
does not hold it's former reputa-
tion as great pork producing
county. In years gone bv three
train loads were shipped from
the prairie weekly and it is safe
to say, that at the present time
three cars easily handle all the
hogs shipped weekly. a condition
brought about by the high price
of feed during the past few
years. Many of the farmers
have sold their breeding stock
and are now practically out of
the hog business.
This appears to be about the
only solution to save the grain
that is in the field mthreshed,
and it is deemed advisable to i'm
port shoats if possible to save
the farmers from a complete
loss. In this movement the
railroad has taken an active in
terest as well as a large number
of the prominent farmers of
Idaho. Lewis and Nezperce
counties.

SOME SPUDS.


A large number of farmers in
this section early this spring re-
fused to plant irrigated seed
potatoes, using the argument
that they would not grow in nom
irrigated districts. Their ar
gument was also upheld by sew
eral newspapers, printing ac-
counts of farmers that had
planted them in their localities,
and that they did not grow.
Seeing however is believing, for
on Wednesday of this week, M.
A. Pierce brought to the Chron-
icle office a fine sample of these
spuds, grown from irrigated pot
atoes, on his ranch near the foot
hill. The potatoes are as fine a
lot as any one could wish. each
hill bearing exceptionally heavy
in quantity and the quality
seems to he of the best. These
potatoes are now on display in
the Chronicle office. Mr.. Pierce
stated that they are as fine lot
of spuds as he has ever raised.

CAN VOTE THOUGH ABSENT

Attention is called to the Ida
no law which permits registered
voters to cast a vote at the gen.
eral election although absent
from the precinct, county or
state. The law provides that
requests may be made to the
county auditor (Henry Telcher)
for an "absent voters blank"
and this will he sent by the
county auditor by registered
mail to the voter. The latter
fills out the application and re-
turns it to the county auditor
who may issue, Is days before
election, a ticket to be marked
and returned by registered mail
to the auditor who casts the bal
lot for the voter. AS the time
is limited and getting shorter
every day, absent voters who
wish to vote at the election on
Tuesday, November 2 are urged
to make application early in or
der that they may secure the
blank application, fill it out and
return it and get the ballot and
return it in time to be cast at the
election. This should receive
prompt attention of all absent
voters who wish to vote at the
election November 2. But only
registered voters can do this.
