A UNIFORM LICENSE.

County Assessor William In
gram spent last Friday after
noon in the city visiting and on
business matters. Assessor In
gram Informed us that next year
there will be no reduction in the
license fee of automobiles. The
present law, after a car is five
years old, allows the car to be
licensed for one-third less. Next
year, or for the season of 1924,
the license fee will be the same
for all cars in the various
classes. No reductions will be
made whatsoever. The last ses-
sion of the legislature repealed
the old law and substituted the
new one. The most convincing
argument in favor of the new
ruling is that old cars wear out
the roads just as rapidly as the
newer ones. Automobiles in
Idaho are classed according tC
weight.
Assessor Ingram has been hot
on the trail of car owners who
have failed to take out a license
He stated that all owners who
fail to take out a license will fine
the cars assessed against then
as personal property.

ing it possible for the cattle to
prosper and be fit for market
several weeks earlier than IS
customary, particularly when
the range country is visited with
heavy SHOWS or EXTREMITY cold
weather.

who, with Mr.. Aram made the
trip to the Portland market with
the cattle, stated that severs.
other large shipments will pe
made within the next few weeks
from the Joseph plains anc

strong and showing signs of re
naming so, or even advancing
and for this reason the cattle
men are trying to get their Cattle

JOHN BROWN, A NEGRO
ARRESTED LAST FRIDAY.
Placed Under Arrest for Moon
shining by Deputy Sheriffs
Robertson and Nau.

John Brown, one of the few,
if not the only negro resident of
Idaho county was placed under
arrest last Friday afternoon on
his ranch near Westlake by
Deputy Sheriff Ben Robertson
and Deputy Sheriff A. H. Nau,
of Cottonwood, on the charge Of
having liquor in his possession
and moonshining.
He was given a hearing before
u. S. Commissioner H. Taylor, OF
Grangeville, and bound over to
answer the charge before the
United States District court at
Moscow, which convenes there in
October, under a $500 bond and
to date he has been unable to
furnish the same.
Sheriff Eller searched the
Brown premises last Tuesday
and at that time he found a
quantity of corn and prune
mesh, a coil for a still and bar
rel. He also found a glass jar
containing what appeared to be
moonshine liquor.
Sheriff Eller did not place
Brown under arrest at that time
as he wished to consult with the
prosecuting attorney before
making the arrest.
The corn mesh was found in
Browns own home while the
prune mesh and sack of sugar
were discovered in vacant
house across the road from his
place.
Sheriff Eller took sample of
both the corn and prune mesh
and then poured the remainder
out for the hogs to feed upon.
Brown claims it was hog feed
and not moonshine mesh.

FREE GAS.


We are requested to inform
the party that has been at
tempting to break into the gas
pump of the Cottonwood Hard
ware after what appears to be
free gasoline if he will only call
at the company's store they will
give him a key for the same SO
that he may accommodate HIM
self whenever his jitney is in
need of more fuel. The manage
ment stated that they would
much rather supply him with 4
duplicate key in preference to
having their pump, costing sew
eral hundred dollars broken
every time this party runs out
of gas which has been quite
frequently of late. Mr.. Nc
Kinney also stated that they
would agree to pay the 2 cent
state tax on the gasoline.
Sounds to us like a very fair
proposition.
The guilty party is under sus-
picion and he should not be sur
prised if he receives the key by
registered mail or in person.

As to Obeying Fanatical and Unjust Lalus
(Hon. ]. d. Woodruff)

We read a great deal about it being the solemn duty of everyone
to obey the law. That sounds all right but it will not bear analysis
All fundamental laws are made to govern the minority. Very
few people have an inclination to steal horses, burn their neighbors
houses o. to commit any of the other crimes which a very small per-
centage of the people do or wish to do. Such things n and should
be governed by laws and courts, but if everyone should obey all the
freak laws passed by the legislatures life would not be worth living.
The only way to get an obnoxious law repealed or modified is
by agitation and opposition. If everyone should tamely submit, lie
down and humbty submit to every whim advanced by wid-eyed, long
devious ways, then w e surely would be a nation of sissies.
If such a state of affairs as that should prevail we would soon
be governed by a very small minority and be worse off than SO many
poems. Every single act of life would be hedged in, prescribed or
regulated by some freak law.
All advancement in this life in every phase of it is made by get
ting away from such conditions. All freedom of act and deed has
been brought about by rebellion and protest and actual violation of
just such conditions.
If everyone always had tamely submitted to the law there never
would have been any Declaration of independence written for the
Y. ,. a. and we would still be paying a tax without representation.
We IRE surely If slowly gaining our Independence, We now
have the right to think, and after a while we will have the right to
act according to our thoughts-provided those thoughts are hon
orable. And w re will eventually learn that human nature will prevail
and that it is as useless to fight human nature, or go contrary to il,
as to try to govern the west wind.
We can be governed for a while yet by INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
by a little bunch Of honest fanatics backed by a horde of as hungry
wolves a S ever followed a band of buffalo; we can be taxed to a fraz-I
ze for this and that and the other, regardless of right, wrong, or
justice-whichever way will bring the most votes-but the time is
coming when the ordinary maj and woman will get enough of such
diet and then there is likely to be something doing worth while, after
which the world will have advanced one more notch toward civiiza-
ton.

TRAPPER
after VARMINTS
IN new SECTION

lobe Borner. who is sure death to
coyotes and other varmints, was in
town on Thursday making prepara-
tons to clean up predatory animals
in a new section, having completed
his work in the Mccullough Peaks
and adjacent territory.
In order that ranchers may look
out for their dogs Nh. Borner wishes
it known that his new poison line will
start from the Corbett bridge, go west
to the Head ranch on Trail creek,
north to the Two-Dot ranch on Pat
O'Hara, northeast from there to the
George Head headquarters camp on
Sand Coulee, then 6 miles north to Joe
Ganguet's headquarters sheep camp
o m Sand Coulee. and from there six
miles east to a range of bad lands ex-
tending south to Gleckner's ~headquar-
tiers camp near Ralston.
Horses will be killed along the line
to make poison stations. The coyotes
will be fed for ten days or two weeks
until they get used to feeding on these
dummy bats" When they get into
the habit of visiting these
the poison bats will be slipped out
and the kill made.
The coyotes are reported to be bad
in this territory, and while they are
not doing any great AMOUNT of dam
age to the sheep, the sheepmen say
that constant vigilance is necessary
on the part of the herders to keep
them out of their nocks.
Mr.. Borner states that all the an
imals caught in this territory from
nov on, Of steel traps found, are the
property Of the United States and
there is a heavy penalty attached to
the theft of the same. The govern
ment is %eXpending large sums in an
effort to rid the country of predatory
animals and il asks the cooperation
of the public in the work.

DOC" TRUEBLOOD STILL
HANDING OUT GIRLS

doc" Trueblood distributed two
more baby girls in Cody last week,
making a total of seven in something
like ten days. After all the Enter
prise said about him reducing his
stock before taking inventory the first
of the year he brazenly showed up at
the Bernie Blackstone home on Fri
day with a girl baby and on Sunday
night unloaded another on Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Mathieson. There will be
more old maids in Cody than there is
in a Connecticut village if this thing
keeps up and some public spirited
citizens are thinking of having Mr..
Goppert get out some kind of an in
junction or restraining order from the
court to see if he can't be stopped.
The doctor refuses to tell where the
lambing crew goes next.

FEAR FOR SAFETY
DEWEY JOHNSON
IN MOUNTAINS
No Word from Young Trapper
for Twenty Days-Searching
Party Starts from Valley

1t is feared that Dewey Johnston,
% years of age, the 10 of l.. X.
Johnston of %Southfork. has persisted
in the mountains somewhere between
Valley and Boulder basin.
With Glen Billings he has been
trapping in that section and left to
spend Thanksgiving with his parents.
After Thanksgiving he started back
with Max Wilde and the two went as
far as a halfway cabin where he was
to leave some provisions.
From the cabin he went on alone
to visit his trap line and so work his
way back to camp in Boulder basin.
He was on snowshoes and had little
more than a lunch with him.
That "a twenty days ago and since
then there have been storms and in
tense cold in the rough country be-
tween Valley and Boulder basin. FL
nally becoming worried Mt his part
ner's failure to return Billings came
down to see what was the matter.
A party on snowshoes started out
from Valley on Monday to hunt the
intervening country, but little hope il
entertained that he is alive unless he
has gotten out in some other section
and has not yet sent word of hi,
whereabouts.
There was a rumor that he had
come out owe in the Greybull coun-
try but this was found to be without
foundation.
He was N Of the best liked young
men IN the Southfork and much CON
Germ is felt all up and down the river
over the strong probability that he
has persisted of cold and hunger in
the mountains.
