The proposition to bond this county
for the amount of its Indebtedness is not
good one. and we venture to state that
1t will meet with great opposition
among the tax payers when it comes to
ha tullv nnHarsfnnH a;, La,
to compoundinp the interest upon the
outstanding warrants. The county will
not save dollar by the operation, be-
cause it is cheaper to pay seven per
cent on $4,000 than to pay six per cent.
on $4,000 If any bonding is to be done
at all, why not bond for an additional
$4,000 or $4,000 and with i. build
wagon roads into Elk City, Rapid river
and olher settlements where wagon
roads are needed. We think the com.
nssioners have been badly advised and
that they are acting too hastily in
sanctoning proposition of this charac-
ter which cannot benefit any body except
the holders of outstanding warrants
who happen to want to turn them into
cash. Let the tax payers investigate the
matter so that they can go into it with
their eyes wide open.
Word was brought to town last Satur-
day that a Frenchman named Evan
Harry, living all alone across Salmon
river from Tom Malona's was dead.
Coroner Bibby was absent in the Ceur
d'Alenes SO Justice Woodward went to
hold the inquest. No boat was to be
had at Malona's ranch, so the Judge had
to cross at China camp just below the
mouth of Telcher creek and walk five
miles over almost impossible bluffs and
rocks to reach the spot. The body was
lying exposed to the sun and had evil
IDENTIFY been dead ten days or two weeks
For some two weeks MIR. Malona had
not noticed the old man moving around
at his place across the river, and think
ing something wrong, he and Mr..
Schroeder built raft and attempted to
cross but the current was too strong and
the raft got away from them. Wood
ward was accompanied on his trip by
Jack Gully and G. Schroeder. Harvey

years and a resident of this county since
the COS. He has no known. relatives
