GREAT stress is laid by the anti-di-
visionists on the claim that the ter
ritory of Kootenai is not rich
enough to support two counties.
Over half the counties in the state
refute this. Look over the records
and you will find several counties
of less than a million dollars wealth
getting along fully as well as Koot-
enai.

GREEDY old Rathdrum! She is

GREEDY old Rathdrum! She is
fighting division with all her might.
For the sake of raking in a few
shekels from her enforced visitors,
she is willing to put the rest of the
county to thousands of dollars of
expense annually. She shams pow
erty as an excuse. She says we
have not taxable wealth enough to
support two counties. Let us see:
When Kootenai County was organ
lied she had only 100000 worth of
property. She got along very well,
and created but a small debt, until
the assessment roll ran up to mil
lion and a half of dollars. The pro
posed new county of Bonner will
have over million dollars worth of
property to start with and ought to
get along if the mother county could
prosper with only 100000.

THE town of Hope has come out
square-toed for county division.
All of the business men of the town
signed a petition to have the coun-
ty divided. Many of the signers
had previously signed a remon-
STRANGE under a misrepresentation of
facts. Among those who signed
for division were such representa-
tive men as, Hon. w. J. Quirk, Ex-
Commissioner Pilling, Messrs.
N. q. Sisson, X. Wanamaker, How
ard Loomis, G. w. Brockhagen
and others. These gentlemen would
not be found in the divesion ranks
if there were not good and substan-
tial reasons for it.

THE LEGISLATURE of Montana has
divided Missoula county by Great
ing the new county Of Flathead.
Missoula, the county seat of Mis-
soula county, was glad to see the
new county cut off, because the
court expenses, owing to the big
mileage bills rolled up, was plung-
ing the county deeper into debt
each year. In this County there is
a similar state of affairs. Cut off
Bonner County and save thousands
Of dollars annually to the public.

PETITIONS are going to Boise both
for and against division. All the
friends of division should be on the
alert. We do not doubt but that
500 more signers could be obtained.
The work should not stop with the

nally hammering away till the vic
tory is won.

THE Post Falls Post and the
Rathdrum Times appear very solic-
itous concerning the welfare Of the
proposed new county of Bonner
One the principal arguments they
use against the creation of the coun-
ty is the fact that it has no survey
ed land. What does this matteri
We have our million dollars worth
of taxable property. Decided land
could be essential to the new coun-
ty only as property to tax. But
Bonner County has, and Away;
will have, enough of taxable prop
erty even though never a foot of its
domain was surveyed and decided.

CGuR D. ALENE is ALL RIGHT
The Press voices the sentiment of the
Intelligent Business men of
The City on the Lake.

That a division of Kootenai coun-
ty would be fol- the best interests of
the people, none but those whose
personal and business interests in
fluence them in the matter will de-
ny. There are a few people along
the line of the N. z. r. r. who can
reach the county seat with out incon-
venience or much epxense. All 9TH
ers are in favor of division. A glance
at the map must convince any one
that to remain longer undivided is
detrimental to the interests of the
tax payers. We have here a coun-
ty almost 200 mi. north and south
by over so miles wide, east and
west, thus forcing those who have
business at the county seat to trav-
ell long distances by team and en-
dure tedious delays in making a
circuitous trip by rail. A person
wishing to visit the comfy seat
takes the Union Pacific to Spokane,
Arriving ther he has to wait un-
til he can catch a train on the
Northern Pacific, which consumes
time and is expensive. If he comes
by the lake he is compelled to hire
a livery team and drive from this
city to the county seat. In the
northern part of the county the
same difficulty exists. The item Of
mileage paid out annually for wit
nesses, jurors and officers is enough
in itself to cover the expenses Of
running a smaller county. The
history of county government
shows that the small counties are
more economically managed, that
taxes are lower and the people are
more generally satisfied. The
boards of county commissioners
hold fewer sessions, the salaries Of
officers are less, court excuses are
reduced and there is a great saving
to the people. Kootenai is toe
large and unweildly to be economi
cally managed, as past experience
shows. 1t must be divided sooner
or later; then why not do it before
expensive buildings are erected
to become useless in later years.
A division bill should pass the pres
ent legislature. 1t is natural tina
Rathdrum should oppose division
as it jeOpardizes her chances of re
tanning the county seat. But sh,
composes a small part of the tax
payers of the county who are inter
ested in the movement.-Ceur d

A Voice from Boise.

The KooTENAI HERALD comes to
hand from Bonner's Ferry, away
up near the British Line, or the
North Pole, or some other far away
imaginary point. Never mind
about that, it comes from live, in
tellgent and progressive community
a people who believe their townwill
eventually become the hub of the
universe. Situated at the head of
navigation of the Kootenai River,
they expect to see British America
and the balance of all creation pay
tribute to them. What we started
in to say was that the HERALD is to
be enlarged to an eight page paper
and this is the best evidence in the
world that Bonner's Ferry is pros
pering. The Newspaper is always a
true reflex of communities pros
perity. If the people of Bonner's
Ferry will give the HERALD a gem
erous support they will find that
every dollar so expended will be
we'll invested.-Boise Sentinel
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1893-02-04

THE Posi- FALLS Post refers to
Bonner's Ferry as dead town. We
denounce the SANDER. We regret
to see our contemporary resort to
slum methods in order to carry a
point. Bonner's Ferry is today the
liveliest town in Kootenai county.

KooTENAI VALLEY pays out more
each year for travelling expenses in
going to the county seat than it
does in taxes. Cut the county and

KooTENAI COUNTY.

Twelve years ago the present
county of Kootenai was formed out
of Shoshone county. 1t embraces
all that part of Idaho popularity
known as the Panhandle. From
north to south its distance is more
than $50 miles and from east to
west the average distance is about
50 miles. Especial attention is
directed to the oblong form of the
county. It's area is $500 square
miles and its population is between
1000 and 5000. OF its area nearly
100000 acres have been appropria-
ted, valued at nearly half a million
of dollars. There are $50 miles of
taxable railroad property in the
county, and a strong probability of
more railroad building in the near
future.
The assessed value of taxable
property is upwards of $2,2O0,0O0.
The foregoing facts may be veri-
fed by reference to the county
records.

Substantial Reasons why Divis-
ion is desirable.
GOOD EcoNEMY DEMANDS IT
A Statement of facts from the most
Reliable sources tending to show
the desireabiIitY of County
Division.

An unfailing characteristic of
new states is the vast area of the
the counties into which they are
divided. AS progress and develop
ment go on, as the new states
increase in population and
material riches, demand is
made for division of the counties
and consequent increase of their
number. Such is the happy con
dition to be found at this time in
in idaho, and such is the demand
that is is being made by the peo-
pie living in the most unweildly
counties of the state. 1t has been
remarked that our present legisla-
ture has resolved itself into a coun-
ty division legislature. We trust
the remark may be jutifed by the
work of that body. For. nothing
marks The steady growth of a state
more defni tely than the readjust-
men of the state into counties of
small and and compact area.
The residents of the north half of
Kootenai county are demanding
a division of the old county. They
have met together at various times
in public gatherings within the last
two weeks and discussed the ques-
ton freely and from every conceiv-
able stand point, and believe that
the denial of their petition for leg
islative division would amount to
gross injustice to the petitioners.
The demand is made upon as strong
grounds as ever existed for similar
demand. We do not know the
special merits of any of the other
county division schemes that are
now before the legislature but we
are positive that the people of nc
other part Of the state can make
out stronger or as strong case as
the people of this section.
We base the argument for divis-
ion on the great distance of the
center of population of the Nor
thern part of the county from the
county seat. We base the argu-
ment in the matter of population
and the matter of taxable wealth
to maintain county organization
ranking as high as the most pros
porous county in the state.
For the benefit of the senators anC
representatives whose votes mus
determine the issue we submit tn,
following:
