Report of Grand Jury:
The grand jury impaneled for the May, 1917 term of court beg leave herewith to report to this honorable court that during the session, which closes with the submission of this report, it has repeatedly come to the attention of this jury that heretofore a large and indiscriminate sale of a product known as Jamacia ginger, containing 93 percent pure alcohol, and of similar products, has been carried on by some druggists, and others, within this state and district, by reason of which not only the States statute pertaining to the furnishing of intoxicants to Indians and the introduction of the same into the Indian country has violated through agencies of various drug stores and disposing of the same to the Nez Perce Indians, but also, in persons procuring such intoxicants at various places, the opinion of this jury, the state prohibitory liquor laws have grossly violated as well as the state statutes regarding the introduction of intoxicants into the state of Idaho; therefore, it is the unanimous desire of this jury that such violations of the aforesaid state laws be brought directly to the attention of the state and county officials within this division of the district of Idaho, to the end that most vigorous action may be immediately taken to put an end to the traffic in question, which, as fully appears from facts developed from many sources during the investigations carried on by this jury, is a most shameful and flagrant violation of the state laws above referred to; it being outside of the province.  Of this jury to take any action in connection with violations of such state laws, this jury has felt it to be its duty as grand jurors impaneled in this court, and as law-abiding citizens of the state of Idaho, to call public and official attention to the conditions herein set forth, inasmuch as such heretofore have escaped the attention of the state and county officials having power to take appropriate action to remedy the same.
