The Cmnr d,AIene Cnllapse

Troubles are trooping upon the C@ur
d'Alenc country The disastrous labor
strike of last year coupled with the low
price of silver, and the suspension of several
mines have brought on their wake the in
evitable train of business failures and de-
preston. The bank of Wallace suspended
on the 7th. The bank was a private concern
of which George b. McAuley and Van B.
Delashmutt were the principal stockholders.
The attorney for the bank stated that it
closed its doors to adjust the partnership be-
tween Delashmutt and McAuley, and that a
eCeiver will be appointed and the bank con-
tinucd 1t was asserted that there was
about $4,000 on deposit and that the funds
now remaining in the bank will secure the
creditors. The county treasurer is cashier
of the bank and has attached the funds to
secure the money placed on deposit by the
county.
The bank of Wardner, which is owned by
the same parties, has S}5. 900 on deposit and
is in the same condition as the Wallace bank.
The news that the Cnur d'Alene bank of
Wallace and the Wardner bank had closed
their doors and that Delashmutt had made
an assignment for the benefit of his credi-
torr, created much surprise in Spokane bank
ing circles.
There has not been such excitement in the
Cueur d'Alcne country since the great riots
as when the announcement of the failure of
the failure of the banks, in which the people
had the utmost confidence, was given out.

Under the law the sHlte and the county
dispensaries receiveieach n profit Of 30 per
cent. n the limit otuprodt is charged
the cost will be- heavier than at
present. For instance, the very poor
est class Of liquor would cost 81. 25
a gallon; with the 30 per cent
to the state it wbpld be run up to
sl.9T, and with the, 80 per cent to
the county to $3.50. Add to this
the cost of thesnobottles and the
bottling, and the cost will be $3.50, or,
if sold in half-pint tasks, at the rate of
- cents per half pint. Even il the cost
of the bottling is taken out of the profits
the state cannot selLr MS cheaply as the
dealers If the 80 per cent. is added.
Goods that cost 81 25 are sold by all the
local dealers at p cents per half pint.
Corn whisky that costs Sl.25 to Sl.3 a
gallon is sold here at IL cents per half
pint or % cents per pint.
Perhaps it is the purpose of the pro-
hibitionists to raise the price of the
goods and in that way minimize the con-
sumption. But those who have advo-
Gated the law as money-making
scheme, will, no doubt, be in favor of
the business principle of "Quick sales

The first number of the New York

The printed matter was arranged in two
columns and occupied a space seven
inches by eleven, the entire page meas

In the beginning of 1927 Bradford per-
manently increased the size of his paper
to one whole sheet of foolscap, or four
pages. Before that time it had been
two or four pages, as the amount of news
available required. In winter there was
only one mail in fortnight from abroad
and communication with Albany was
difficult. Hence news was scarce and

. A Fence Ninety Miies Long.

During former years considerable trouble
has been caused by cattle belonging to white
stockmen straying across the line to the In
dian reservation in South Dakota. Par
tcularly has this been the case in the ex-
treme western portion of the ceded Sioux
lands. There are tens of thousands head of
stock in that section, and Notwithstanding
the efforts of stockmeu to prevent them
straying on the Indian land, large numbers
of cattle are each year taken up as estrays
on the reservation by the Indians, and they
always insist upon receiving good pay for
their trouble before turning the cattle over
to their white owners. This frequently
causes much trouble and bitterness between
the Indians and stockmen, and if not
remedied would in time result in serious
trouble.
To prevent the possibility of trouble,
Agent Brown of Pine Ridge called meeting
of all stockmen with herds in that section
and made q proposition to the stockmen that
the government would furnish wires and
posts for enclosing the western ana north
ern sides of the reservation If the stockmen
and ranchmen residing on the border would
construct durable four-wire fence Tne
proposition was considered a fair one, and n
fence will undoubtedly be built. This minia-
ture Chinese wall will be about ninety miles

Of Nevada by dividing and annexing the
parts TO Washington. Idaho and California.
The abolition OF a state being without preCe-
dent in our history, will OF itself prevent
serious consideration OF the proposition A
more practical and desirable plan is
annexation with Utah. "The steady
growth Of Utah. says the Sun, "and its
abandonment Of polygamy are thought to

cially II strengthened by the addition OF
large part Of Nevada.
''Yet the union OF Utah and Nevada is de-
sirabe to accomplish and only the method
needs to be changed. Utah should be divided
by the sOutherly extension Of the line now
forming the boundary between Wyoming and
Idaho, all west OF that line going TO Nevada
aud all east to Colorado. The eastern part
OF Utah is thinly settled, whereas the west
ern part, which contains Salt Lake CITY
and other important towns, would carry
to Nevada 2O0,0O0 people. Such an ad-
dition would give Nevada for the first
time in its history numbers suitable for

of Nevada, is the standard for apportion.

the senate as Pennsylvania.
With the addition of the greater part OF
Utah, as here indicated, Navada would have
quarter of million people, and instead of
being bywOrd would become state OF
importance. with future to count upon.
What Washington and Idaho may desire TO
do if anything, toward forming the proposed
new state from portions of their areas is
matter that concerns themselves. Should
such a state be formed in season, there
might be no objection to cOmpensatins Idaho
out of Navada, in return for the latters
large accretion of erea and population from
Utah. But the rehabilitation OF
Navada as a state, instead of It's
abolition, is the true policy. In
accomplishing this a further ratification of
boundaries on natural lines could be effected
by setting off the northwestern corner OF
Arizona, north of the Colorado river, to the
part of Utah which should be added to Ne
vadd. This would be the more readily con
ceded should another state be formed by the
reunion of New Mexico and Arizona, with
joint population amounting to nearly quar-
ter of million.

A Bootmaker's Diagram OF Abraham Linz
coins Feet.
An offer of $1,000 was recently made
by Washington antiquarian for sheet
of paper upon which, twenty-nine years
ago. Abraham Lincoln allowed a shoe
maker TO trace the outlines of his feet.
This paper is now in New York, in
possession of the original owners son,
who says he would not part with it for
any sum of money. The sheet is about
twelve or fourteen inches in size.
The son of the presidential bootmaker
told the story of the tracing of the dia-
gram as follows:
mir. Lincoln was troubled with tender
feet At that time my father vas keep
ing shop in Washington, and was locally
known for certain style of easy-titting
shoes, his own make, something after the
pattern of the sO-called common-sense
shoe worn today Lincoln sent for my
father and when the latter came the
former rail-splitter said:
50 understand you make shoes big
enough for five toes?'
My father modestly admitted that
such We're his pretensions
"'Well. went on Mr.. Lincoln, if such
is the case | want to give you an order.
Lincoln then recited the trouble he
had had with shoes. He had pecul-
iarly shaped foot, and certainly could
not be fitted in any store handling
ready made goods. Then, too, he de-
clared he was tired of his shoemaker
and wanted change.
Then Lincoln took off his boots and
following my fathers instructions he
stood on the paper while the shoemak er
traced with pencil the outline of the
presidential pedals. This sheet is the
