NEz PERCES A
WEALTHY TRIBE
TRIBE is RICH IN LANDS, &
PERSONAL PROPERTY
ALSO PRODUCERS

A report recently prepared
and made public by Superinten-
dent 0. II. Lipps of the Nezperce
Indian agency at Lapwai is a
most interesting document and
gives information which shows
the Nezperces to be one of the
wealthiest Indian tribes in the
country. According to Mr.. Lipps'
report, the total resources of the
tribe amounts to over twelve mil
lion dollars-the exact figures
being $l2.02S, ,702.25. The pop
ulation of the tribe is ,462, 7l5
whom are males and TAT fe-
males. The tribe decreased few
in population during the year
closing June 80, 1920, there be-
ing but II births as against So
deaths. The flu epidemic is
held responsible for the large
number of deaths.
Of the tribal lands-property
owned by the tribe as a whole
there are 32,020 acres, valued at
S594, ,025. 270 million feet of
timber on these lands has an est
imated worth of $945, 900, MAX
ing the total value of the tribal
property $1,541,525
The property of the individual
Indians includes 30,440 acres of
allotted agricultural lands valued
at $9,022,713.25. The value of
the timber on these lands is $685.
600. The Indian homes and
buildings have an estimated val
lie of $4,000; tools and agricul-
turai implements $101,25 +;
home furnishings $45, 900; wag-
ons, vehicles and automobiles
$685. 900; livestock, poultry, etc,
S2Ol ,4O4; other property $780,
600; Liberty and Victory bonds
owned by Indians amount to
$50, 900 and they have money
deposited in banks to the amount
of $755,S10. The total personal
wealth of the Indians amounts to
S10,487, ,177.25, which included
with their tribal property
amounts to a grand total of
$12,028, 702.25.
Not alone, however, have they
so much wealth, but the Nez-
perces are also producers. Last
year, which was quite below a
normal year for crops, they pro-
duced crops to the value of S142,-
l24. This was divided as fol-
lows.

Ellis Kip, who has a big ranch
on the Nezperce Prairie, has the
distinction of being the heaviest
farm operator of the tribe. Last
year he raised 800 acres of
wheat. Other big wheat rails
ers are: Johnson Spenser 2S0
acres. Harry Moffett 240 acres,
Nat White 200 acres, Jesse Davis
ITO acres. Although not men,
toned in the report. it might al
so be added that Ellis has a herd
of fine royalty bred Herefords,
while other Indian ranchers are
taking up with the raising of
blooded stock. A report of this
years wheat crop would doubt
less show a big increase over the
acreage last year, while with
present crop prospects the total
production for 1920 will greatly
overtop that for 1919.
Population statistics reveals
that there are 314 males in the
tribe 20 years of age and under
and 27I females of II years of
age and under-a total of sol
minors. There are 871 adults,
divided: males of 81 and over
401. females 18 and over All; to-
tai S71 adults.
Previous reports for compar-
ison are not available but is is
quite likely that this is the best
report ever made for the tribe.
And it is likely to stand as the
record in some item also, since
before another June 80 comes, a
LARGE acearqe of the allotted lanl
will have been sold or decided
over to the individual owners
and transferred from the tribe
records TO the records of the
county in which they are located.

LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN.

Little interest is being shown
in the coming primary election,
August 3, for the purpose of Sc
lecting candidates for the vari-
Gus county offices as well as
precinct committeeman and dele
gates to the county convention.
One of the main reasons, why
such little interest is being
shown is contributed to the fact
that few contests appear on
either the Democratic or Republ-
lean tickets. Another reason
is that the judges and clerks
heretofore have always received
compensation from the county
for acting as such officers at
both the primary and general
elections, while the new primary
law allows no compensation from
the county for such officers at
the coming primary election and
so far no one has offered his or
her services on this date, free
gratis.
County officials are the only
ones nominated at the primary
election. state officers being
selected at the state conventions.
Some people are of the opinion
that at least half of the precincts
in the county will fail to hold a
primary election.

BUMPER HAY CROP.

Farmers who have completed
putting up their alfalfa and tim
othy hay in this section report
the yield exceptionally heavy.
Some have already cut their
grain hay which they also report
is yielding splendidly to the acre.
One gentleman told us that off
of a patch from which he only
harvested four light loads last
year, this year he harvested 13
large ones. Reports from the
river section state that the hay
crop on the river is the largest
it has been in many years.

Cottonwood gave Nezperce
Sunday one of its hardest games
of the season and for time it
appeared as if the Nezperce boys
were doomed for defeat. The
game started with NeZperce TAX
ing a comfortable lead and with
the Lewis county boys taking
perhaps a little less interest in
the game than they should, but
the lost interest was revived in
the Nezperce aggregation in the
ninth inning, and then some.
With Cottonwood only two
scores behind to tie the score,
a man on second and third and
only one down and the heaviest
batters at the stick, some of the
boys from across the canyon
could see the pennant of the
prairie league floating towards
Craigmont or some other point
as far as they were concerned.
Cottonwood had made two scores
in the ninth and with the NeZ-
perce team almost completely
disorganized from excitement
they were able, however, to stop
two slow grounders from two of
Cottonwood'S best hitters in
time to save them from defeat.
Too anxious to clot the ball over
the fence on the part of the
home boys perhaps lost them the
game. After the third man
was put out in the ninth inning
a great relief seemed to come
over the face of every Nezperce
player. Had Cottonwood been
able to defeat Nezperce Sunday
it would have given them mighty
slim chances of winning the pen
nant.
The batteries for the day
were: Nezperce, Fox and Hollan /;
Cottonwood, Rookie and Ruste-
meyer. Umpire, F. Lange.
/ Who Will Win
The pennant winner of the
Prairie Baseball League is yet an
uncertainty, and according to
the percentage column NeZperce,
Craigmont, kooskia and Grange
vile all have chances of winning
the much coveted banner. At
the present stage, Craigmont
has a little the best of it. Should
Grangeville be able to defeat
Craigmont Sunday the four
teams named above will all have
an even break. that is providing
they also win Sunday.
Two games that are creating
a great deal of interest among
the baseball fans are the games
to be played between Craigmont
and Nezperce. The rivalry be-
tween these two towns is intense
and already both teams have
signed up outside players to bat
tie in these contests. Should
either one of these teams win
both games, the looser will be
eliminated from the contest for
the pennant, according TO the
present standing of the clubs.
Last Game on Home Ground
The Cottonwood boys will play
their last game of the season on
the home grounds, Sunday, with
Kooskia. While the home boys
have failed to win a game dur
ing the entire season they have
played winning ball on several
occasions but luck always broke
against them, during some stage
of the game. The last two
games we're both excellent ex-
hibitions of baseball and worthy
of better financial support than
the boys received.
A good game can be looked
for Sunday and it is also hoped
that a good crowd will be present
to encourage the boys on.

"Oh Boy" has been seen on two or
three occasions in this city. but 1t lost
nothing OF Its flavor last night. The
usual cast, aided and abetted by a
trio of New York players. went
through the sprightly musical show
In a manner that left nothing TO be
desired. A chorus composed OF local
girls sang and danced and looked Just
as nice as any big-time chorus from
the Roaring Forties.
The story OF "Oh. Boy" Is so well
known as to need no repetition, and
the songs are just old enough to be
brought back pleasantly.
One OF the best performances OF
the evening was that OF Margaret
MacCambridge, Washington girl.
who has appeared OF one or two oc-
casions with the Garrick Players.
She is winsome girl, with a sweet,
appealing voice. and her singing or

his lines to perfection.
Helen Goodhue. as the Quaker aunt
