LET II RUN.

The street car was stopped on Monday
by the city authorities, who require
license to be paid. 1t seems rather
hardship to impose a tax of this kind
upon a concern that is compelled to
struggle as much as does the manage
ment of this enterprise for existence.
The street car is a public convenience,
especially during stormy weather, and
we hope the ''daddies" will see their
way clear to grant the privilege of run
ming without imposing this unnecessary
additional burden, and, too, without
threats of arrest.
We anticipate change in business Jan.
uary l, '94. All mems suits and overcoats
strictly at cost-for cash only-at Miller's
clothing store.
Everything in the jewelry line at Vogle's.

CREDIT TO WHOM DUE.

Our city authorities have made another
movement IN the direction of ridding the
town of the presence of some of the OBJ
jeetionable element. One day early this
week two persons by the name of
Implicit and Pugh were arrested, fined
$40 and SIS respectively, and ordered to
leave town. They have both been habi-
tues of the bawdy houses on the river
front, and without visible means of sup
port, and it is believed their absence in
the future will not detract from the moral
atmosphere of our city.

County Division Opinions.

Another contest is brewing in
which the north is interested. il
being over the proposition to divide
Kootenai county. The bill which
has been drawn and which will
shortly be introduced, makes Pend
d Oreille the dividing line, the new
county north of the river being
called Bonner, with Bonner's Ferry
as the county seat. A. B. Baines
and Mr.. ]. G. Hardness of Bonner's
Ferry are here in the interest of the
division, while @. L. Hoffman is on
the ground to fight it. Mr.. Heit-
man insists that the two county
governments can not be maintained.
Others state that the opposition of
Rathdrum ARISES from the fear of
loosing the county seat at the next
election. The Kootenai members
are non-committal on the PROPOSE
ton, but it is understood they will
give it their support. The bill as
drawn provides for the appoint
ment of officers by the GOVERNOR
Spokane Review.
The proposed division of Kootenai
county and the creation of Bonner
county will be productive of live
ly fight in the legislature, but it is
almost certain that the bill will
pass. The only persons who are
contesting it are the citizens of
Rathdrum, the present county seat
Of Kootenai. The division means
that Bonner's Ferry will be the
county seat of the new county and
C@ur d. Alene the county seat Of
the old county, hence the hostile
attitude Of Rathdrum.-Spokane

Nothing could possibly exceed the sat

versary of the battle at New Orleans
Jan. 8. 1915. in which the British Genera
Pakenham was killed and the British
were finally beaten and driven off by the
indomitable Andrew jackson.
The main reason for celebrating Gen

victory over the British. or it may be
his equally great historic saying. ITO
the victors belong the spoils." However
that may be. the Sth of January is in

sage calling attention to the fact
that the bill appropriating $1,000
for supplying the state penitentiary
with the necessary implements tc
keep the inmates at work, had passed
the house and been transmitted to
the senate on Jan. 9th, and that no
action had been taken relative to the
measure by the senate. The Gov
ernor clearly showed the urgent
necessity of immediate action on
the bill.
President pro tenn. Mayhem,

chair and at once attempted to
smother the message. Mr.. Curtis
divining Mayhew's intention step
ped to the desk to withdraw the
message. Mayhem, however, fear
ing the result of his action, ordered
the message read.
There seems to be growing feel
ing In both branches of the legisla-
ture against anti-railroad legislation
OF any kind. Petitions are being
forwarded to members from all over
the state, asking that railroads be
not hampered by legislation calcu-
lated to retard extensions.
The house today passed bill
providing that county warrants
shall be legal tender for county
taxes.
Among the bills introduced in
the house was one by Helm, provid-
ing for the location of a school of
mines at Osborne, Shoshane county
and another by Hopper, of Latah,
providing that the salary of the
state treasurer shall be increased.
Increase of salary is suggested be-

The fight over the location of the

lively one. The bill introduced
by the advocates of Cnur d. Alene

to the Shoshone people, who have a

When the normal school bill
came up, on motion of Mr.. Howe
MIR. Ruick moved a postponement
OF one week and made a speech in
which he asserted that the superin-
tendent should be one of the mem
bers of the board. Mr.. Howe re-
piled stating that all the promoters
desired was to get the land donated
by the government into immediate
use. Then followed series of fill
clustering motions designed to OPP
en- the subject so amendments could
be offered. During this procedure Mr.
Burgan of Kootenai arraigned the
filibusters, declaring that in nearly.
four weeks only three bills had
been passed. He had no persona,
interest in the bill, but he wanted
something done. Mr.. Ruick of AL
turias and Mr.. Mcpherson of Logan
were the only senators who finally
voted against the bill, Mr.. Ruick
changing his vote afterward in or
der to move a reconsideration.
