The GRAND JuRY,s DUTY.
sentatiOn

There never has met a grand
jury in Kootenai county upon
whom so grave responsibility
rests as the one which meets in
Rathdrum on the first day of
next March. 1t will devolve upon
them to investigate the affairs Of
this county. We trust that this
grand jury will be composed Of
men who have the mettle to push
this investigation to a finish, let
the chips fall where they may.
THE PEOPLE DEMAND that the
grand jury investigate the charges
of corruption against certain county
officials.
THE PEOPLE DEMAND that the
grand jury investigate the charges
Of blackmail against certain news

If the grand jury fails to rise tC

CATION, and report without favorit
ism or prejudice, the members o
it will meet with the condemnation
and contempt Of an outraged pub
lie.

charge, except treason only, that
can be made against public officer
is that he is boodler; and, when
such a charge is openly and pub
licly made against an official from
any presumably reliable source,
it marks to certain extent a
crisis in the affairs of government.
And when such crisis is reached,
good government requires an in
vestigation before an impartial tri-
bunal. No man should be con-
demned for that damnable offense
except upon good proof. 1t is one
of the fundamental principals OF
our law that man is presumed to
be innocent until he is proven
guilty, and this principal holds
good whether judgment is passed
in the court or before the bar of
public opinion.
The government Of Kootenai
county has been tainted with the
charge of corruption. The charge
of Doodle has been made against
certain of our county officials.
The charges have been published
in and vouched for by two news
papers of the county. The welfare
of the county requires that these
charges should be investigated. If
they be true the people have a
right to know it and to demand
that the guilty be punished. If
they be false, the accused have the
right to vindication before the
highest tribunal known to our laws.
The principal charges are as fol-
lows:
/. That there was Doodle in the
purchase of the cells for the county
Jail. 1t is claimed that the cells
are not made of steel as has been
represented to the public, but of
cheap iron-for which $4,000 was
twice as much as they were worth.
In reply to this the commission
ers answer that the cells were con
structed according to contract; that
the contract does not call for, and
was never claimed to call for, solid
steel cells; that the cells are made
partly Of iron and partly Of steel;
that the steel covers the cells in
the shape of lattice work, or by
bars, so close together that
,even though a prisoner cut through
the iron, he would still have to cut
a way through the steel bars, which
ARE anadelof a special preparation
adaptedfor their use; that as t.
their cost, they have certified esti
mates of the cost of similar cells
purchased elsewhere in Idaho ant
other states, showing that the cell
for Kootenai county have not cos
more in proportion than those 70
other places.
?. That the Times Publishin
Company was allowed more tina
contract rates for doing count
printing; also, that they had pal
out $3.50 illegally for printing tn
election laws.
The commissioners claim tn;
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1892-02-26

the allowing of the overcharges
was an oversight, and that they
reduced the bill at their next meet
ing after their attention was called
to the matter. In regard to the
printing of the election laws the
commissioners have said that, so
far as the price was concerned,
they could not have had them
printed in Spokane for enough less
to justify sending the work out of
the county. We have never heard
them discuss the question of the
legality of their action in having
the election laws printed.
4. 1t is charged that the COM
missioners have squandered the
peoples money and run the county
in debt $4,000.
The public may be enlightened
on this subject by reading the Off
cial report of the financial affairs
of the county and bearing in mind
that the debt of the county a year
ago was about $4,000. The fol-
lowing is the financial statement

In addition to the above it should
be mentioned that the county com
missioners will claim that the
charges against them are made
wholly for the purposes of black
mail.
The Post Falls Post and the
Rathdrum Courier are the papers
through which the charges have
been made. They claim that Ed
itor Musgrove's venom comes from
the fact that they discharged him
as legal adviser of the board. Ed
itor Mcdonald is accused Of alter
nately coaxing and threatening
them into giving him $1,000 to
publish the tax list (Which they
had published for $49), and then
when he failed in his scheme they
say he turned against them with
his TRADE of abuse and misrepre-
caoto+ion

The Discovery Of a Great Mine.

A walk over the mountain to Fried
ensville, Penn, one spring day when the
farmers were plcwing their fields,
brought the late DR.. Roepper, we'll
known to mineralogists, to where team
was dragging plow near the road. A
talk with the driver brought out the fact
that his farm was cursed with more than
the usual amount of stones, and sample
was tossed over the fence to the doctor,
as evidence. 1t was recognized as a
mass of quartz carrying calamine-a sill
cate of zinc. The fence was climbed and
and the two followed the pillow forward
and back across = field covered with
similar masses.
Had the doctor been shrewd man he
would have bought the farm and died
rich. As he was an honest lover of ma
ture he said a few words to tie piowman
that transformed an exhausted Pennsyl-
vania farm into the seat of the Ueberroth
mine; that set in operation the extensive
zinc works of Bethlehem, Penn, and
built the ssPresident" hump that
could raise IL, 600 gallons of water per
minute. This chance shot at fortune
is but one of many, and a dozen volumes
would i'll suffice to note the salient points
of the record. II so much can be done
haphazard, it is evident that systematic
training in economic geology will furnish
means of livelihood, as we'll asian aid

The clover plant is no exception to the
rule that a very large growth of leaf is
apt to be at the expense of the seed crop.
But there is one way of manuring clover
to make it seed abundantly, and that is
with mineral fertilizers. While stable
manuring tends to excess of vine, the
large growth produced by applying phos-
phate and potash increases seed proper
tionably. Much, however, depends on
the season. Dry weather, after the first
cutting, which forces the roots into the
subsoil for moisture, is usually favorable
to seed production.
There can be no dispute about the fact
that it is wisdom and economy both, in
fowl breeding, to ''feed well from the
shell' upward. If your birds are intend
ed for the market only, they are always
In readiness thus for killing; if for breed
ing, to ''feed well from the shell' up

ing, they are thus always in the best
condition for the purpose; if for the
show rens, there is no fattening or fore
ing to do at the last hour to render them
in presentable shape. So we would,
therefore, recommend good care, good
feed, and good quarters for poultry all
the time.

A Gold Mine in the Teeth.

French statisticians have recently made
some curious calculations of the amount
Of gold which is annually buried in the
United States. M. Victor Meunir asserts,
after making careful inquiries, that the
American dentists annually insert into
the teeth OF their patients, 1900 pounds
of the precious metal, which would be
worth $450,000. This gold is never re-
covered, of course, but is buried with
the person in whose mouth it is placed.
Making allowance for the rapid increase
of our population and for the continued
deterioration of the human teeth, it ap-
pears that in less than hundred years
American cemeteries will contain more
gold than now exists in France. This is
no fancy sketch, but the result of study
and cold figuring. Louis Republic.

FuIton's First Paddleboat.

1t was said of the boy Robert Fulton
that he was what might be called z dull
scholar, and once when chided by his
teacher for the inattention 10 MS studies
he replied that his head was SO full Of
original notions that there was no vacant
place to store away the contents of dusty
books.
One of the neigbbors Of his father, one
Denter Grumpp, was very fond of fish
ing, and he had built for this purpose a
st-bottomed boat or scow, and he used
to avail himself of the labors of his son
Christopher and his neighbours son
Robert to aid him in his pursuit by get
ting them to pole the boat over the
waters of the Conestoga, while he fish
poled the perch and the bass into the
boat. AS well may be imagined this
was not much amusement for the boys,
but one of them put on his thinking cap
as he pushed his way along, and, as
usual, pushing and thinking won in tie
end.
firing of pole-pushing, Robert Fulton
concluded that he would go over the
hills and make his aunt visit of week
or so, and it was in the garnet of his
aunt's house that he built a small model
Of Denter Grumpp's fiat boat, to which he
planned and arranged pair of paddle
wheels. Coming back home he confded
to his chum Christopher his invention
and, securing his aid, they together
rugged up paddle shaft with wheels and
cranks for the fiat boat of the elder
Grumpp. This was SO arranged that the
whole machinery could be lifted off and
taken to place of safety while not in
use.
1t was not long before the elder
Grumpp had, as many another since has
had, longing to try his luck again on
the waters of the Conestoga, and he
summoned the before time reluctant boys
to help him out. What his surprise was,
we perhaps can imagine, as he looked
back from the boat and saw the two boys
struggling down the river bank with a
queer-looking conglomeration of iron and
wood in the shape of cranks and wheels,
on their shoulders, and just how the boys
chuckled together as they saw the sur
prise in the staid old Dutchman's face we
can also imagine.
However, after suppressed giggling,
they hung the shaft in its place, and the
wheels ever the side, taking their places
at the cranks, and then and there started
the first paddle wheel boat ever seen on
the new continent of America. -Engl-
