quaintance with authors, at the head
of a magazine, 10 shown in the May
number of the Cosmopolitan. When
Mr.. Walker was asked if the adyer-
tisement Of having Mr.. Howells as
ISOLATED in the editorial management
of the Cosmopolitan was worth the
large salary which a man Of Mr..

piled that he was not seeking an ad-

The Town Talk boasts that Alex.
andria "needs only two or three
more railroads to haye as many as
New Orleans" That is true, and
when it gets the railroads and a big
river and a gulf of Mexico. with a
lake in the rear, and several other
things not yet in sight, it will lack
still less of being as big as the Cres-
cent City. Alexandria no doubt
has a very promising future ahead
of it, but we are perhaps safe in say
ing that it will never be a seaport
city nor the cotton emporium of a
continent. 1t will be fortunate if
all its present suburban additions
have houses built on them within
the next half centurY.-Baton Rouge

SPLENDID EXHIBITS.
Washington and Idaho at the Worlds
Fair Mr.. Sanburn's Exhibit.

As the time approaches for the open
ing of the great worlds fair exposition
at Chicago people generally are taking
pepper interest in its welfare and its
exhibits, especially SO in the states Of
Washington and Idaho, two of the
youngest states i'll the Union that will
no doubt be IN the front rank when the
exhibits are displayed, not only in the
extraordinary products of the farm. but
in timber, mineral and precious stones.
Eastern Washington's and Idaho's ex-
hibit of mineral alone will be well worth
seeing.
In Spokane there are some very fine
and valuable exhibits to be displayed
while Idaho, especially the panhandle,
will not be far behind. One exhibit in
particular that deserves more than
passing notice is owned by J. Rand
>anburn, who is a prominent mineral
oglst, as well as one of the worlds fair
commissioners, has been more than
twenty years getting his valuable col
lection together, and lately has been
devoting great deal of his time to the
collection OF the different products of
his own state. On the walls of his
room are to be seen the antlers of all
the horned animals of North America
while from shelves and tops Of mineral
cases are the fierce mountain lion. cou-
ger, panther and other savage beasts OF
the forest, glaring down with mouths
extended, apparently ready to pounee
upon the visitor as he enters. On all
sides are large glass eases filled with
handsome and precious stones from all
parts of the world
One case Is Tiled with a beautiful
collection of mineral from Eyypt
Africa, Australia and other parts of the |
world, while two other large cases are
filled with mineral, stones and CLAWS of |
Idaho. Another case, which at once
attracts the attention Of the visitor is /
TILED with Indian arrow heads collected |
from every state in the Union. This il
without exception one of the finest col.
lection of arrow heads in the world. and
IS priced very highly by Mr.. Sanbon.
This collection will be placed in the
Idaho building at the worlds fair for
exhibition only, and will go far toward
showing the wonderful productiyeness

The Tax Robbery.

The people OF Kootenai county who
are unfortunate enough to own property,
either real or personal, are Just now re-
eeiving their reward for placing such a
set OF unprineipled men in Office rs the
three county commissioners - Pillins,
Daggett and Smith. After two wears OF
ring rule by men whose sole object has
been boodling under the guise Of public
improvements and expenses. the tax
payers are beginning to feel the burden
that has been placed upon them in the
shape OF taxes to make good the deficit
created by the worst set OF county com
missioners that ever disgrlced a county
BY their presence. The rate Of taxation
has been fixed by these three boodlers
Mt IA figure that is absolutely unjust, and
cards are being sent to the people bv
Assessor Costello notifying them to paw
Up. Such a heavy burden is robbery
and due wholly to the TACT tina. the beard
pf county commissioners have cared
nothing for the interests OF the people,
They should be indicted Tor malieasance
in oifire and made TO suffer for the bur
iiens they have placed upon the people.
Thank God their official life is short
and we hope kootenai county may never
re dis2raced by another set like them.
