COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
Matters of Special Interest to the
kootenai Valley Acted Upon.

"oaeCiS VI OpcSidl lnteTSSt 10 tnc
kootenai Valley Acted Upon.
The commissioners of Kootenai
county closed their first quarterly
session of the year last ,Ionday.
AS is usual at such sessions, a large
amount of business was presented
for their consideration. Lack of
space prevents our giving more
than a few items of the business
transacted, and those only of spec
ial interest to this locality, as fol-
lows:
Petition for public road by L. A.
Reed ct al; petition was on motion
rejected, for the reason that the
owner Of the land through which
the proposed road runs has filed a
protest against the establishment Of
such road, and there being no
money in the district fund to pur
chase right of way.
In the matter of Il petition for a
free ferry at Bonner's Ferry; after
due consideration and investigation
it appears to the board that they
have no authority under the stat
utes to maintain and operate free
ferry; and that the ferry asked for
is of more benefit to the citizens of
Cation and Bonnerport, two in
corporated towns, having separate
road districts and funds over which
the said towns have exclusive con-
troll, than to the citizens of the
county at large, and there being no
money available for the purchase
or maintenance of free ferry, OH
motion the petition was denied.
Statements, affidavits and bills
concerning the Moyea bridge were
laid over, awaiting Commissioner
Balls examination of said bridge
and report thereon.
On motion the application Of
Mrs. Lewis Bigger to board and
lodge the county poor and sick was
approved, and she is hereby
awarded the contract in accordance
} with said application. Further
ordered that she give bond in the
sum of 5000, as required by law fol
faithful performance of same.
On motion it was agreed that thu
services of the legal adviser of thu
board, J. A. Keat, be dispensed will
for the year 1896, and that no laga
ad wiser be employed for said year
The following resolution respect
ing the opening of new roads wa
adopted:
Whereas, The road laws are sucl
that the purchase price for right-of
way over private property for tn
use of public highways must b
paid out of the district road fun,
v Of the particular district where tn
road is located: and
- Whereas, The said district roa

"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the

HIGH WAGES, BUT NO WORK.

Our 'workingnen's leaders," when
they are tired of bringing libel actions
and getting a farthing damages, would
do we'll to study the remarkable state
ment made by Lord Londonderry to
his miners at Rainton ON Saturday last.
He proposed to shut Rainton colliery,
and the unfortunate men who Will be
thrown out of work came to ask tho
reason. The owner produced a com
plete and detailed balance sheet, show
ing that the last years working cost
f73, 900 while the receipts were only $685.
900, and even Lord Londonderry can
not GO on indefinitely losing f16,000 a
year. But the analysis of the figures
is even more instructive than the to-
tails. The net loss is Is lid per ton of
coal raised. The total cost per ton at
the pits mouth is IS 101ad, and the sell
ing price only Is 111ad. Of the cost,
6s Cd is for wages. Now in 1887, just
nine years ago, the pit was paying,
the wages cost" being As sgd. The
result to the men has been a gain of
Is 14d per ton in wages-and the clos
ing of the mine.
The reporter adds that the state
ments of Lord Londonderry caused a
profound sensation" and we'll they
might We fancy that the sensation
will spread. Strikes, shorter hours,
higher wages, heaven-sent labor lead
ers with snug seats in parliament, Hyde
Park demonstrations, and all the rest
of it are, no doubt, very fine things;
but if the men all over the country
who, like the fifteen hundred at Rain
ton, have been thrown out of work,
could be got to speak we fancy they
would cry out for lower wages and reg
udar work rather than higher wages
and no work-Saturday Review.

AN INGENIOUS HOME MADE LOCK.
The quartz miner is generally a
rover, constantly moving moving from
place to place in search of better leads.
But when he does settle down he often
ornaments his cabin in most fantastic
fashion, using the labels of the "air
tights" freely for the decoration of the
interior walls. Sometimes he accumu-
lateS various treasures which seem
valuable to him and then he is prone
to secure his door with an improvised
lock. l once saw such a lock which
was so ingenious as to merit deScrip-
ton.
The outside of the door showed only
knob, a bit of buckskin string dang
ling from a little hole near the knob,
and keyhole The keyhole, however,
was only a blind. On the inside of the
door was a heavy hardwood bar that
slid through iron guides, and was pro-
vided on the bottom with eogs cut
neatly in the hard wood forming a
rack. On the inside end of the knob
was wooden pinion wheel that turn
ed the rack moving the big bar TOR
ward or back. Above the bar was a
piece of wood held in place by hoop
iron guides that dropped into notch
in the long bar. To the top of this
piece of wood was fastened the buck
skin string which passed through the
door and dangled invitingly on the
outside. To open the door it was neces-
sary to pull on the string and raise
the little bar, and then turn the knob
and thus move the long bar back. I'm

bar held the door safely and solidly

VOICE FROM THE UNSEEN.

Lady Henry Somerset, whose philan-
thropies and eloquence in the cause OF
humanity have won for her worldwide
fame, was during her earlier life a woman
of the world, given up to fashion and
pleasure.
power to crafty every desire, put restless
and unsatisfied, she began to question the
meaning of life.
Turning to the Bible and studying it
earnestly, she soon felt the need of religi-
Gus conservation and of greater mctiv1
power; but under the influence of the
spirit of criticism about her. she found
her faith weakening and her mind cloud
ed by perplexity and doubt.
One day while, alone in her garden, she
was bordering the mysteries of life and
questioning the very existence CT God, she
heard a voice say distinctly:
"Act as if I were, and you shall know
that I am
Though the voice was not audible to the
material ear, Lady Henry declares that
she heard the words with the car of her
soul as distinctly as though they had
been spoken, and the sentiment they ex-
pressed made a powerful :1S...ression upon
her mind The more she thought OF the
mysterious utterance the more t seemed
to her that only divine wisdom could
have prompted the words, AMI she deter
mined to live by their counsel
Soon her faith in God and Christ re-
turned and she entered into the life of
active benevolence which is now univers-
ally recognized, and has been followed by
such beneficent results.
To every earnest yet rerplsXed and
doubling soul, the voice which spoke to
this devoted woman speaks today:

that | am."-Youth's Companion.
