SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1891,
The commlssioners are Gentlemen.


The board of county commissions
ert have been in session all this
week and it will probably be neces-
sary to hold an adjourned session
in the course Of a week OF so.
Road matters in this part Of the
county received their just share of
attention Of the board at this meet
ing. They granted the petition for
i road from Bonner's Ferry twenty
five miles down the Kootenai valley
to Snails ranch.
Five hundred dollars was APP
propriated for work on the road
from Kootenai to Pack river.
One thousand dollars was appro-
priated for work on the road from
l<ootenai to Bonner's Ferry. This
appropriation at this late day is
better than none at all, but it is un-
fortunate for the public that it was
not granted three months ago when
it was promised. If the rains con-
tinue this money will not go as far
ps $3.50 would have gone then. Be-
sides the roads are liable to become
impossible before the supervisor
San get them corduroyed.
But the HERALD has no further
kick to make. We are as quick to
acknowledge good treatment at the
hands of the commissioners as we
are to condemn their neglect of this
end of the county.

lieve there could not be found a
finer lot of records in the state than
is found in Mr.. Magraw's office. He
has held the position for seven
years and will have served ten

elared the office of coroner vacant

on May 5th, 1891, at the expiration
Of twenty-one days from the first

postoffice address is Fry, Kootenai
county, Idaho, will make written
application to the Hon, Secretary
of the Interior for authority to cut
and remove timber for merchandise
and sale from the following unsur-
veyed and unappropriated public
lands Of the United States situated
in Kootenai county, Idaho, and de
scribed as follows:
Beginning at pointon the north

The reaction has already set in
and Sand Point is on the decline;
likewise Kootenai.--Post Falls Post.
Somebody must have been load
ing our esteemed contemporary.
At any rate it is clear off its base,
Instead of there being a decline at
Kootenai times are better than ever
before. Nearly all the vacant
houses have filled up and a half
dozen new business establishments
have opened up in the last month
and more are coming. The town
will soon have an important addi-
ton by reason Of its being made
headquarters for Burns q Chap
mans work. More money is in
circulation than at any time this
year. More freight is arriving than
f. G. Cole, the forwarding agent,
can find teams to handle. The
amount Of freight received last
month was 2,152,173 pounds. Over
forty car loads arrived last week,
about half being merchandise.
There are over 5000 men back of Koo-
tenai, to say nothing Of the perma-
nent population, and Kootenai is
the commercial center for the whole
business.
1t don't look much like Kootenai
was on the decline, and why should
.ahe be?
AS to Sand Point, it is in some
respects even livelier than Koote-
mai. The town does a big business
down the Pend d'Oreille. We ven
ture the assertion that there are
days when the one mercantile es-
adjustment Of Ignatz Wells sells
more goods than all the stores on
the Ceur d'Alene branch, Mr..
We'll has goods arriving in car load
lots all the time, and it is nothing
for him to sell out a car load of a
special line in two or three days.

FETTERED VOLUMES.

Lihraries Wherein tho Docks Arc Secured
by Chains
In Europe, long before tho days of
printing. books were fastened to shelves
OR desks in libraries and churches, to
guard against their being stolen, and
also to prevent one student gaining an
unfair advantage over another by secur-
ing the loan of book from n too ami
able librarian.
The libraries of the English univer~
stiles were chained until the latter part
of the eighteenth century, when, on ac-
count of the inconvenience of using
them, the chains were removed. 1t is
recorded thot at Kings college man
YVES paid one pound and seven shillings,
in l777, for nine days labor In taking
the fctters OFF the college books. Ac-
cortling TO the Antiquarian, there are,
however, few chained libraries still
remaining in England The largest of
these is at the cathedral church of
Hereford, nnd is the one genuine sur
vival Of an old monastic library. It
consists of about two thousand volumes,
of which fifteen hundred are chnined.
There are five bookcases, and the re-
mains Of two others.
The catalogue, which Is olso chained,
Classics the books, many of which are
in manuscript, In eight divisions. Each
chain is from three to fours feet long,
according to its position, so that every
volume can be placed on the reading
desk. In the center of these chains arc
swivels, which are useful in preventing
their entanglemcnt-
Hereford possesses the latest, as well
Is the oldest collection Of chained books
in the kingdom the library of two hun
drcd and cighty-fivc volumes, which

TIE BIGGEST OF FLYING BIRDS.

Tho Wandering Albatross and the South
American Condor Arc the Ones.
The biggest of all really powerful fly
ting birds are, believe, the wandering
albatross and the South American con-
dor-for the roc 1 reject outright as
worthy only of the most restricted Ara
bian and nocturnal orthodoxy. Seen
on the wing, says writer in the Chica-
go Globe, or even with the wings ex-
pandcd merely, both these great exist
ing birds have most majestic and
colossal appearance. But feathers in
such cases are very deceptive; they
make fine birds out of very small bodies
For example, our well-known little Eng
lish swift, which looks so imposing in
flight as it passes overhead with pinions
poised, is hardly as big when plucked az
q mans top thumb Joint and weighs
only half an ounce. So, too, the alba
tross, though its expanse of wing is said
to exceed that of any other known bird,
amounting sometimes to nearly ten feet
from tip to tip, does not average in
weight moro than fifteen pounds, which
Is just exactly the poultcrcf's statement
for my last family Christmas turkey.
AS for the condor, while he spans from
wing to wing some eight feet, his length
from beall to tail is only three and a
half, and doubt if he would pluck into
anything corresponding to his magnifi-
cent outer show-though am bound tc
admit that have never personally tried
the unpleasant experiment.

The Bell Printing Office club went to

game of ball with the second nine.
Although it rained during the forenoon,
the grounds were in good condition for
playing and the game was witnessed by
good crowd. The contest had to be
called after the sixth inning to allt W
the Roanokes to catch the train. Up to
the last inning the game was very ex-
citing. the score standing 3 to 3, but in
that inning the bells made 6 runs, the
score Standing at the end of the game
0 to 3. Hannah and Traynham were

II hope said Harry Wright to a
New YORK Sun reporter, 1.-The rules will
be SO amended as 10 permit of AN extra
man being placed on the ,achng line.
n team Should have man coaching at
all stages Of the game. \ team in the
field needs man on the coaching line
even more than the team al bat. The
captain frequently is comp He'd to start
after bali, and in such case the
coacher would come in hanly. would
like to see screccnlrg with the object of
unnerving the pitch ers done away with,
and coaching confined to directing the
movements OF base-rnnning, in when no
loud shouting would be necessary"
When asked il. in the even; OF such q
rule being adopted, he would get up on
the line and coach his young men, the
veteran manager smiled softly. and
said such rule would be good thing
for old players like Burdock and others,
whose experience On the coaching line
would be valuable.
