KooTENAi COUNTY VS. SHosHoNE County.
Some time ago the authorities Of Kooteuai
county set up claim to the jurisdiction of
their county over the Ceur d'Alene mines
claiming that the northern boundary Of Sho-
shone county was small spur OF the Bitter
Root mountains extending west and lear
the South Fork Of the CCeur Alene river,
while Shoshone county has Always claimed
their northern boundary to be where the
main Bitter Root mountains turned west
aud was called the C9ur d'Alene mountains
This last range was the divide between Lake
Pen d'Oreille and the C9ur d'Alepe mining
district. The officers of kootenai county
attempted to exercise authority in this min.
ing district by collecting licenses and exer-
cising other acts Of jurisdiction in this min.
ing camp. The officers If Shoshone county
protested and forbid this exercise Of iuris-
diction They then ceased for a time and
Shoshone had an exercise of their jurtsd,c-
tion undisturbed But the authorities Of
kooteDai county brought suit to enjoin the
officers of Shoshone county from exercising
jurisdiction and required the officers Of Sho.
shone to answer the suit ut Rathdrum, the
county seat of Kootenai county. This suit
was tried last week before he District Court
at Rathdrum, Judge Buck presiding, and
on Monday night we received telegram
from Rathdrrm to the effect that the officers
of Shoshone had won the suit. This we
hope has settled the question aud that the
officers of Shoshone will no longer be inter-
rupted by the interferen ,e of Kootenai in
the discharge of their duties. This decision
will materially augment the financial condi-
tion of Shoshnne county.
RESIGNATION. - Mr.. J. A. Gardiner, prin.
cipal of the higher departments of the pub

Portland. MIR. Gardiner came to this CITY

pie rooms for high school, a grammar
school, and an intermediate and primar,
school. They also established and caused
to be published for the benefit of the teach
ers, parents and scholars a system of rules
, copied in part from the rules of the public
schools in Portland. In these rules the,
