DECISION EFFECTS
WAREHOUSES
IMPORTANT WHEAT CASE
TRIED-OF GENERAL
INTEREST.

A case of more than ordinary
interest to warehousemen, farm
ers and millers has just been de-
cided in the district court OF
Latah county by a jury, with
Judge Edgar c. Steele presiding.
The case is regarded as of i'm
portance in that it sets a prece-
dent for the handling of wheat
stored in warehouses in Idaho.
The case was that of the Mark
P. Miller Milling Company, of
Moscow VS.. Thomas F. Wren,
Doing business as Wren &
Greenoueh Land Company" a.
Fem, Idaho. Miller sued for
the value of two warehouse tick
cts each for 1000 bushels of
wheat, issued in December, 1918.
The tickets were issued by the
Wren & Greenough Land Com
pany by Thomas Wren, by J. M.
Wren, according to the evid-
ence, and -. NJ" Wren was
shown to be Josephine Wren, a
sister of Thomas F. Wren.
The evidence showed that the
Mark p. Miller Milling Company
bought 1900 bushels of wheat
from the defendants at that
time and that all but 1000 bu-
shells were delivered. Miller
brought suit for the value of
this wheat, the value being
placed at from $2.55 to $2.65
per bushel." The jury gave Mil
Ter a verdict for 200.
The defendant contended that
the grain had been delivered to
others but that the tickets had
not been surrendered. Judge
Steele held that a warehouse
company has no right to deliver
grain without the surrender Of
the tickets and that if it does the
warehouse company is response
BILE to the holder of the tickets
for the grain or its value.
The defense contended that
81. NJ. Wren," by whom the tic
-kets were signed, had no auth
ority to issue the tickets where
upon Frank L. Moore, attorney
for Miller, charged that if such
was the case J. M. Wren would
be practically guilty of forgery
The plaintiff showed that tickets
had been issued to Ed Wren, and
Jim Wren, brothers of Thomas
F. Wren and Josephine Wren, at
the same date, on identically the
same kind of receipt. and sign
ed the same way, the first fo,
1000 bushels and the other fol
1000 bushels and that the wheat
had been delivered on both OF
these tickets. The jury was out
but a short time and returned 8
verdict for Miller in the amount
stated.
Wren was represented by B
Auger of Grangeville, and Harry
T. Davenport, of Wakefield
Witherspoon & Davenport, Spo
kane. Frank L. Moore, of Mos
cow, was attorney for the plain
tiff. The grain in dispute wa.
stored in the defendants elevat
or at Fem, Idaho.-Moscow Mir
ror.

Grangeville through Nezperce to
Orofino instead of Kamiah.
'It now seems, in view of the
fact that there is a move on to
build new road up the Gilbert
hill, that it is advisable to have
the connecting link between the
North and South Highway and
the Lewis and Clark Highway
designated in that territory in
stead. The citizens of Orofino
have already made an effort to
secure the same and will contin-
tie to do so. Such was the in
formation put before the Roch-
dale meeting by Mr.. Jewell and
it was moved and seconded and
carried that the organization go
on record as favoring such a
plan.
Following this action arrange
ments were made to call mass
meeting of the citizens of the
Gilbert country for Saturday,
January Is. at z p. m. in the
Gilbert school house when the
proposition will be discussed
with the view of endorsing the
designation of the highway from
Nezperce to Orofino and request
ing the county legislators to use
every effort to secure the same.
An invitation was extended to
Orofino business men to be pre-
sent at the meeting with all
available information concerning
the finances, etc"
Progress Accuses Three Towns
The kamiah Progress, now
understands why a portion of
the Gilbert section wishes to be
annexed to Lewis county, it also
accuses Grangeville. Nezperce
and Orofino of the new highway
scheme. The Progress also says /:
"A movement being framed
by Orofino, Nezperce, an d
Grangeville to divert the route
of the North and South highway
from Grangeville thru the other
two towns and on down the river
to Lewiston. This done, it
might be that a road from Koos-
kia up the hill to Dryden to con-
meet with this highway would be
proposed. linking the Lewis and
Clark with the North and South
between kooskia and Orofino
and cutting out Kamiah and
other river points between the
two towns from a place on the
Lewis and Clark. Kooskia folks
however are more anxious fol
the river road and probably
wouldn't favor the latter idea
The desire of the Gilbert sec.
tion to be transferred from
Clearwater county to Lewis
county, mention of which was
made in these columns recently
and which looked like quite 8
good thing for this county, now
comes to light as a part of this
highway scheme. The new roac
would run through the Gilbert
section, giving its farmers easy
access to Orofino. At present
it is set off alone across the riv.
er from Clearwater county, but
if made a part of Lewis county
it could, and would, be taker
into the Prairie district ant
thus add greatly to the taxable
resources of that district, enabl
ing it to raise an immense
amount of money for the pro
posed highway"

ASSESSORS
Want CHANGES
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED
OFFICIALS THINK.

County assessors OF Idaho
adjourned a three days conven-
tion at Boise Wednesday Janu-
airy 18th after recommending
and providing for the introduc-
tion of several measures in the
legislature which, if passed, will
have a substantial effect on the
statutes relative to taxes and
tax collections.
Among the more important of
the measures recommended was
resolution to be introduced in
to the legislature providing for
the submitting of a constitution
al amendment to the voters
which would abolish the state
board of equalization and substi-
tute in its place a tax commits
sion of three, which would have
the powers of the present board
of equalization.
Passage of a law providing for
equalization of taxes as between
counties on bank stock appearing
on the personal tax roll was also
recommended. In the original
report of the Legislative commit
tee the word property" appear
ed in place of bank stock" "
This drew fire from several
speakers and the substitution
bank stock" was made as it was
the stated object of the commit
tee to provide for the equaliza-
tion of bank taxes.
An attempt to have the body
go on record as favoring an
amendment to the migratory
stock law which would have the
county assess the stock in pro-
portion to the part of the year
in which it fed in that county
also found disfavor and the re.
port was withdrawn. Another
making it mandatory for the
home county assessor to notify
the assessor of the other county
where the herds intended II
Craze, was passed.
1t was recommended that the
proposed bill drawn up by the
state highway commission tt
motor vehicles be so amended as
to fix the price for a dealers
first license at S35 and the price
for each additional license bt
fixed at S25.
A proposed bill requiring mer
chants to make sworn state
ments to the assessors of the in
ventory of their stock near the
first of each year, on blanks Il
be supplied by the state auditor
was indorsed.
Other recommendations favor
ed the repeal of the statutes re
lative to the auditor gathering
crop statistics and requiring the
assessor to make dog tax collec
tions and the enactment of a Law
providing a specific fine for pro
perty owners who refuse Il
make statements or make then
fraudulently.
A portion of the session wa,
devoted to a discussion of tn,
migratory stock law which end
ed with an agreement to prose
cute all stock men or employs
who fail to notify the assesso
when herds are moved from on
county to another.
Assessment of sheep was fiXe,

: cows at $40. The manner o
procedure in the assessing o
state lands was also discussed a
, this meeting and the laws in re
gard to this outlined.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Jack Demp-

their argument about the world S
heavyweight championship som e
place around New York on July 2,
according to the latest plans of Pro-
moter Tex Richard.
While the big offer of Montreal
sportsmen has not been finally re-
jected, Richard favors the metro
politan district and plans to build
an arena to accommodate $4,000
spectators.
The stadium would not only be
the scene of the international cham
pionship, but would provide the bat
tie ground for the return engage
ment of Dempsey and Jess Willard,
which was postponed until Labor

Richard also plans to us the con-

which Johnny Kilbans is expected to
defend his featherweight title.
