JAcKsoN suNpowN PASSES

The Nez Perce Indians have lost one
of their most noted and picturesque
members. Jackson Shutdown, the fam
Gus champion broncho rider, died at
his home near Culdesac "Wednesday
night, victim of pneumonia.
His perfect physique, his classic In
dian features and noble bearing made
him world famous. Phineas Proctor,
New York sculptor, came west to use
him as a model. He posed for statues
with and without his horse, which are
now on exhibition in New York and
other cities.
In 1916 he was acclaimed the cham
pion rider of the world at the Pendles
ton Roundup He will be missed by
all lewiston Charleston fair visitors
for yearly he has participated in the
Nez Perce parade and ceremoniafs
held here every fair week.
Jackson Shutdown was born 6l years
ago on the Grande Ronde river. His
parents were members of Cher
Joseph IS tribe and as boy he went
with them in the 1877 campaign
through the Lolo pass to Montana. For
number of years he has been living
on his farm on Mission creek, two
miles below Culdesac.
He is survived by a daughter, Cath
crime. and sister, Ipnasapayanakt
both living in Montana.
A large number of friends gathered
Thursday at the slickpoo mission
church to pay their last tribute tc
their famous tribesman Rev. Father
Laioie had charge of the services an'
he was buried in the mission cemetery

school faculty had the direction of the

large audience to be much better than

spicy, and the details well taken care
of, from the briefest stunt to the
beautiful cantata of the seasons
which concluded and made fine eli

In hotly contested game of basket
ball between the Lapwai and Nezperce
high school teams last Friday evening
in the Nezperce gym, the Nezperce
boys defeated the heavier Lapwai
team with l6 to II score.
At the end of the first half, Lapwai
was leading with a score of o to Z.
The Nezperce boys were fighting hard
aud were playing a splendid floor
game, but seemed unable to locate the
basket.
At the end of the regular playing
time the score stood IL TO II. In the
five minutes play-off the Nezperce
team scored points, while Lawpai
failed to count.
The Nezperce team had possession
of the bali the greater part of the
time and played clean brand of bas-
ket ball This was the first game OF
the season for Nezperce and the third
for Lapwai. The Nezperce team is a
somewhat stronger aggregation than
last years and some excellent games
will no doubt be seen in the Local
gym during the winter months.
A fairly large crowd was out, and
as result of the new ceiling. the
gym was very comfortable, even fol

all grades above five per cent and the
worst curves on the route.
The grades on the highway are thus
brought to the standard set by the U.
S. bureau for federal aid projects, and
the standard used by the state high
way department. The width is as yet
only ten feet, and there are number
of stretches in which vehicles cannot

AN EFFICIENT METHOD OF PRE-
PAIRING A TAX PROGRAM.

The North Idaho Chamber of Com
merce has taken the right method to
secure for its members constructive
action in matters of taxation. The
selection of board of five members
to have charge of measures looking
To- economy should result in more pro
gress than if each member chamber
was left to work out its own program
A. representative group of investiga-
tors will gain information, arrive at
points for comparis and, in the end
be better able to advise the taxpayers
how to secure the economies and ef-
ficiency which they desire.
Interest of Idaho citizens in tax re
duction has been growing. The last
session Of the legislature displayed
willingness to trim expenses and the
result was a decrease in the state levy
which has served as foundation fo'
demand for further retrenchment
The North Idaho chamber now goes OF
record for enactment of state budgel
law. creation of state tax commls
