THE SHOOTING.

During Tuesday Stolz went up alone
to the vicinity of the stronghold of
the Iepers, which was in q gulch about
four miles from the beach. In front
of the gulch are many high, pointed
hills, looking like so many pyramids.
Around the back of the gulch are the
caves where the lepers are hiding. In
the vicinity of this gulch Stolz found
Ieper named PaOa. The sheriff, with
great agility and strength, managed
to disarm him, but did not handeuff
his prisoner.
Paoa knew that Koolau was after
Stolz's life, and so he persuaded the
sheriff to go with him to Koolau's
house, which was mile further down
towards the beach. StolZ made no OBJ
lection to the request and they came
down at about s O'Clock, Stolz carry
ing Paoa's rifle. On the way down
Stolz saw q darksobject hiding behind
q rock and called out to him. Scarce
ly had the words left his lips when he
was struck in the breast by rifle
bullet and fell down dead. A second
shot was fired after he fell. The muir
derer turned out TO be tbs leper Koo-
lau, the ringleader. According to
Paoa, when Stolz fell his last words
were, "Give my love to my mother"
The body of StolZ was then conveyed
to KoOlau's house, where consulta-
ton was held as to the manner
of disposing of the body. The decision
was to bury him there. y pistol, a
watch and several handkerchiefs were
taken by Koolau from Stolz's pockets.
LEPERs DRIVE AWAY THE PEOPLE.
When Stolz's body was safely taken
to KooIau's house, Koolau and seven
other lepeTs, armed with rifles and
pistols, came down and took posses
sion of all the houses of the kama
ainas, sending away the latter. The
order given by KOolau was: eff you
don't move out of these houses in
stantly, we will kill you ALL" The
people obeyed, and about forty or fifty
of them slept that night in the caves
along the beach. The kamaainas were
allowed to take nothing except the
garments they had on. Some of the
rifles and ammunition belonging to
the police were captured by the lepers
and taken away. Koolau then made
an order that not q soul should stir
that night from Kalalau; no one was
to be allowed to carry the news of the
death of Stolz to the police authori-
ties. A search was made for Kaume-
heiwa to kill him as Koolau was on
bad terms with him for harboring in

GOOD marksmen and able to bear arms;
Koolau and five others, Mr.. DeVeTlIi
saws. are the crack marksmen. Ac-
cording to him, these men are able 10
pick off with their rifles goat on
cliff four hundred yards away. MOO
Ian is the ablest and the most violent;
The Iepers have continually Doasted
that they would not give up even IL
force of one hundred armed men Were
sent to capture them. They Wouiu
prefer death to being taken awe TO
KaIawao, place which they oetesC
with bitter hatred.
HOW THE LEPERS ANNOYED THE
KAMAAINAS.
As before stated the hiding places OF
the lepers are in caves IN deep anu
almost inaccessible gulch. NO taro Is
cultivated there, but wild bananas,
taro, ape oranges, pia, guavas and
nnanpoes are abundant. For many
wears past the lepers have been In the
habit of coming down in the night TO
steal taro, pigs, fowls and other prop
ertv belonging TO industrious natives
who inhabit the main valley. But as
the latter do not possess firearms,
thew were unable TO prevent the Dep
relations.
The lepers have never been on terms
of friendship with the kamaaina's
since they commenced these acts.
Another thing which the residents of
the lower valley objected to, but in
vain, was the lepers polutiDg their
drinking water. There is only one
stream in Kalalau, and its source is
near the stronghold of the lepers.
They battle in this stream and the
people below are compelled to drink OF
the same water, as no other can be OBJ
tanned.
KALALAU VALLEY.
This valley is about four miles
wide at the mouth and about five
miles long. There is only one en-
trance to the bay, and boats cannot
enter it during stormy weather. Near
the entrance are high hills at whose
sides are many caves. The Iepefs
can command the entrance from
these caves; few shells would
soon drive them away, but they
would escape to the woods. The
houses of the kamaainas are near the
beach, and their taro patches little
above, towards the highlands. The
valley is well-covered with taro
patches, as taro growing and fishing
constitute the chief industry OF the
populace.

THE Kalispell Inter-Lake, in a
recent issue, speaking of the divis-
sion of Missoula county, says: THE
debt Of Missoula county is rapidly
piliIg up on account of our remote
distance from the courts, and will
more rapidly increase in the future.
This necessity for our division is
recognized in all quarters" What
is true over in Missoula county is
also true in Kootenai county. The
same reasoning and logic will apply
to any and all counties where a
considerable number of the taxpay-
ers reside at great distance from
the seat of government. True econ
omy consists not in acquiring prof
its from large investments, but in
reducing the percentage Of expendi-
ture to a minimum. Excessive
OUTLAWS are wholly incompatible
with the spirit of economy.

ELSEWHERE will be found all the

the proposed improvement of the
Kootenai River. AS will be seen,
the engineering department deem
the river worthy Of improvement.
There now remains but one thing
to do-to urge our representatives
in Congress to secure the appro-
priation. Congressman and Sena-
tors have a good deal to attend to
and unless we keep hammering
away at them they are liable to
over look our needs.

Jim Hill for Bonner's Ferry.

President Hill Of the Great Nor
thern addressed a delegation of the
leading business men in the parlors
Of the Hotel Spokane last Thurs
day. A significant part of his
speech was the following:
am informed that there is go
ing to be large influx of people
into the Kootenai district. Since l
have been here a number of gentle
men of large business and mining
experience whom l have met, pos
itively assure me that there will be
from four to six thousand people
going into that district this year.
The transportation facilities afford
ed by the boats on the Kootenai
river are insufficient to handle the
volume of business, the boats are
too small, they should be able to
carry 400 passengers. An effort
should be made to increase the
river transportation facilities and
the Great Northern will be glad to
aid anyone who may desire to en-
barke in the undertaking.
/ know that the smelters of the
country are not running one-third
Of the time-that is, one-third Of
their full capacity-for want OF
lead. The lead can be brought
down to Bonner's Ferry where we
can reach it with spur.
Till means by the above that he
expects the Kootenai River route
to be the great highway over
which the business of the Koo-
tenai Lake and SLOGAN country will
be transacted. Hill intends tc
have that business. He expects tC
take the traffic from the steamers
at Bonner's Ferry, and this town
will, in consequence, become one O
the most important shipping points
on his line. Bonner's Ferry viii
hold her position as the Silver
Gate to the Kootenai Empire.

ty at the same rate of taxation
that is levied at present. The sal
aries of officers would be less. The
court expenses would be much
less, and if there remainded
yet any difference it would be more
than wiped out by the expenses of
visiting the county seat as afore-
mentioned.
A bill will be introduced into the
legislature for the division of this
county. Senator Burgan and Rep
resentative Crane should give it their
hearty support. The proposition
is Of more interest to their consitu-
ents than any other that can come
before that body. We have no
doubt but that they will support
the measure.

IT is conceded that the present
county of Kootenai will have 3d.
100000 worth Of taxable property
this year. OF this the new county
will get frs$ 100000 to 81, 2OO,-
900. This makes a wealthy coun-
ty, and as in Gilmore when she was
cut off from Alturas-taxes could
be reduced.

COMMISSIONER GEO. ELLIS is
something of a liar himself. He
came up here Monday with batch
Of petitions to circulate against
county division, but he swore like
trooper that he possessed no such
thing. He finally fished them up
on the quiet. But his bringing the
petitions and his gall in from Rath-
drum is alright. 1t is how he
proposes working the racket that
we wish to call attention to. 1t is
reported on good authority that he
offered to make certain person of
this place road supervisor if he
would secure so many signatures
to the petition against county di-
vision. AS we stated elsewhere,
large counties open the way for
corrupt rings and boodlers. II
seems that the Rathdrum boodlers
are already sending out their brides
all of which will be explained tC
the legislators at Boise. Neither
Ellis nor the would-be road super
visor had secured a signature al
last accounts.

SOME would-be benefactor to
newspapers has introduced a bill in
the legislature the effect of which is
to exempt printing offices from ex-
ecution to the extent of 800. This
would be a very foolish law,
and one that would be of no benefit
to to owners Of printing offices.
1t would efectually stop all credit
business between the office owners
and the type foundry. Should
the country office want to lay in a
few dollars worth of supplies, it
would have to plank down the cash
in advance or plaster the office with
a chattle martgage. The former
would work a hardship, sometimes,
and the the latter is very bad poll
cy. The bill would be a detriment
to the printing offices of this state
The bill ought not to pass, and il
it does, the governor, with the in
sight of a good business man
should veto it.

REPRESENTATIVE CRANE has intro
duced a bill in the legislature that
will meet the appreciation of every
newspaper man in the state. 1t is
required, by its provisions, that all
printing required by the state and
the different counties, shall be
done within the state. At the
present time, thousands of dollars
worth of printing is done in the
east, because it can be secured at
slightly lower rates, owing to the
cheap labor employed. Idaho pa
pers which have done so much for
the advancement of the state and
the development of its resources,
are entitled to this work. Newspa-
pers, which are so essential to a
new country, and yet which, as a
rule, are so poorly remunerated,
should have every encouragement
that the public could afford. This
bill introduced by Mr.. Crane will
distribute many thousand dollars
among Idaho printers.

ADVERTISING:
ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY
COUNTY DIVISION.

The county division fight is on
in all its glory. In fact it has been
in progress for many moons, but
on both sides it has been a still hunt
until this week. The only time
open hostilities appeared imminent
on any previous occasion was in
the republican county convention
last fall when the voluble Jorgens
of Hope came near exploding. The
catastrophe was averted by the
vigilant Hoffman rushing down
the aisle and clapping his hand on
Jorgens' mouth before the fatal
words were uttered. 1t is well that
it has been a still hunt. The bit
erness of such contests has been
averted.
The proposition is to divide
Kootenai county on the Pend
d Oreille, the territory north of that
to be organized into a new county
with Bonner's Ferry as the temper
airy county seat. 1t is with this
portion of the present county of
Kootenai that we are interested.
The KooTENAI HERALD favors
the division of Kootenai county,
and will state briefly some Of its
reasons, reserving to succeeding
issue a more elaborate discussion of
the subject.
Kootenai county as at present or
ganized is too large for the econom-
ical administration Of its govern
mental affairs. The additional ex-
pense created by bringing jurors,
witnesses and litigants from remote
parts of the county to the county
seat is sufficient in itself to pay the
increased expense of separate coun-
ty government.
On the other hand every property
holder has to make on an average
one or two trips to the county seat
each year. The expense Of making
these trips, say from the Kootena
valley, is more than the amount
of his taxes.
The distance to the present county
seat is 50 great that it many times
debars citizens from properly at
tending to matters with the county
officials, owing to the expense thai
would necessarily be incurred.
large counties lead to corrupr
rings at the county seat as rule
People living at great distance
from the county seat cannot guarC
their interest SO security. Schemeri
and boodlers thrive in large coun
ties-and Kootenai is an example.
We believe that economy, conven
fence and good government requir,

BANK OF CoMMERCE CLOSES.
The Officers Realized That 1t Could
Not Stand n Run.

The Bank OF Commerce, one Of the
oldest banking institutions in the city,
and the only private bank outside of
Fletcher's. closed it's doors Tuesday or,
more strictly speaking. failed to open
them for business.
1t has never done an enormous bust
ness. but has always been considered a
safe depository The action of the In
dianapolis notional precipitated the ac-
ton Of the Bank of Commerce. The Off
Gals OF the institution were aware that
the closing Of the Indianapolis national
would cause an uneasiness and no doubt
a run on the other banks. Owing to the
fact that the DePauws were interested
i'm the Indianapolis national and to the
fact Of the failure recently of w. c. De-
Dauw. their fears We're very great for
the welfare of the institution. Again.
there was but little over $4,000 cash in
the vaults Of the institution. which would
not have been so much as n straw to
stem the tide If a run was started. As
matter of business precautiOn, a notice
of suspension was posted in the doors,
which was read with anxiety by many
attracted by the little white paper and
others who were awaiting an oppor-
tunity to get into the bank to secure
money for the days business.
The notice was as follows
Owing TO the stringency Of the money
market and the consequent difficulty of
Immediately realizing upon its securi-
tics. this bank has suspended"
Zoe Bank of Commerce was originated
b. w c. DePauw and maintained by
him during his lifetime. At his death
the bank was continued. the active man
agement passing into the hands of John
w Raw the vice-president. William
Bosom was made cashier and he looked
after TIFF interest Of the DePauws and
the DePauw estate. Newland I. De-
PAW was made president OF the insti-
tuition and still retains the position,
though he gives little of his time to the
management of it's affairs. The bank
has been more i'm the community than
any institution on the brokerage plan to
loan money for the DePauw estate, as
