When Maryland ceded ten miles square

David Burns, the descendant OF shrewd
Scotch ancestors owning large amount
OF the territory, proved very tough OBJ

alluded to him as "the obstinate Mr.,
Burns," and he on his own part with
Scotch independence did not respect the
father Of our country too much TO ask
during one OF their heated discussions
what would you have been II you hadn't
married the widow Custis2'
Finally, however. such q sale was made
10 the government as satisfied Burns
and tho deed is the first on record In the

discussion of the general standing of the

to order by President George Currier, and
the committee on furniture reported

appointed to arrange for the coming social

for membership, of which there were
several. The report of the Treasurer Sin

financial basis and that nearly all had
been pahd. Many new members have been
received during the past month, and from
a membership of about sixty there are now
somewhat over hundred active mem

VOTERS should not overlook the
importance Of having a good board
of county commissioners to attend
to the county business during the
next two years. 1t is to be hoped
that we will not have to suffer an
other two years such as have been
the past two. We believe that the
best interests of the county will be
subserved by the election of George
e. Ellis, from the Bird district, G.
w. Clark, from the End and either
J. p. Quarles or John Fernan in
the 1st. Mr.. Pilling Of the present
unsavery board should not be re-
elected. Vote for George E. Ellis
instead. John Russell, Of Rath-
drum, if elected, would want Rath-
drum to have everything and the
outside country nothing. Vote for
his opponent c. w. Clark, of Post
Falls. In the 1st district, we know
but little about either Of the candi-
dates John Fernan or J. P. Quarles,
but we hear both spoken Of favor
ably. But from the End and Bird
districts make no mistakes. Turn
down Pilling and Russell and elect
Clark and Ellis. Vote for three

Mr.. BAINEs, the Independent
candidate for the additional seat in
the legislature, went to Rathdrum
this week to attend to having the
seat for which he is candidate
properly designated on the ticket.
This office has received no notifica-
ton as to whether he succeeded or
not. AS this is our last issue be-
fore election, we desire to call at
tention to an important fact: If
Mr.. Baines has not succeeded in
having the seat for which he is
running properly designated, 50
that it shows clearly that he is run
ming for an additional seat, and not
for representative as against the reg
ular nominees, then under no cir
cumstances vote for him. Should
you vote for him and one other
candidate under such circumstan-
ces, your vote would be thrown out
entirely. Be very careful how you
vote on legislative candidates.
