The Kootenai Valley Railroad.

Railroad rumors continue to fly
thick and fast. One day it is re-
ported that the Great Northern is
to build branch this fall from
Bonner's Ferry to Kootenai Lake
and the next day it is denied. The
opinion seems general that
some company will commence the
construction of the line before
tne Crows Nest road reaches KoO-
tenai Lake, but whether it will be
this fall or next year is the problem.
1t is thought Jim HIPS present
visit west has something to do
with the matter and that he will
meet representatives of the Canadi-
an end of the enterprise on the
coast.
The scheme represented by Mr..
Nation, mention of which is made
elsewhere, may be the true solution
to the problem.
Some have speculated as to
where the branch line would cross
the Kootenai River. There is not
much doubt but what Galena
Landing will be the favored spot
tits known that the N. P company
has withdrawn from market the
lands situated on the opposite side
of the river, and it is not unreason'
able to assume that the Withdrawal
of these lands has something to d.
with future railway construction a
that point.

THE surveyors who are running
the Idaho Montana state line had
reached the summit of the range
between the Pend d. Oreille and
the Kootenai a week ago, and are
doubtless down to the Kootenai by
this time. The indications are
that the line will cross the Great
Northern railway at point remark
able near the monument establish
ed by the company some years ago
as the point where the line was
supposed to cross their road.
If such should be the case, the
Yahk district is well into Montana,
and Sylvanite will be found at
least six miles east of the line.
These facts would be in accordance
with some figures given in these
columns some months ago.

Kootenai County Tax Levy.

Rathdrum, Idaho, Sep. 13.-The
commissioners for Kootenai county
met today to fix the tax levy for
the year 1897. A rate of $3.45 upon
each 800 of taxable property was
levied. as follows: 90 cents for
state purposes, $1.30 for county
purposes, 80 cents for general
school purposes, 25 cents for gem
eral road purposes, and 90 cents
for creating a sinking fund to be
used for the purpose of paying
principals and interest of bonded
Indebtedness. This is 3 cents
greater than the levy of 1896, but
Is cents lower than that of 1895
As compared with 1896, the rate
state purposes has been increased
50 cents to 80 cents per 800, while
that for county purposes has beer
deceased from $1.3S to $130 pc
800. The rate for school anC
bond and interest remains the SAM
as 1896, but that for general roa'
purposes was increased from 2,
cents to % cents per 500.

Methods of the Dark Ages .

Taxpayers should protest to the
county commissioners against the
payment Of the sheriff's bills in the
matter of the prosecution of Frank
Murray. The prosecution of Murray
was as far frcm the requirements
of good government as heaven is
from hell. The day Of holding men
as hostages passed away
with the dark ages centuries ago.
Public sentiment will not tolerate
it now by our present vegetable
sheriff. If it it is not a case of de.
priving Frank Murray ofhis liberty
and holding him as a hostage, till
Joe Beeler puts up, then what is it?
And again, if not, why does not
Pease prosecute all men who have
committed in KOotenai county the
alleged offense for which Murray is
in Jail? One man swore upon the
witness stand in the Murray trial
that he had committed the same
act for which Murray was hustled
off to prison. Why was not thai
man arrested and tried? Possibly
it was because he was not wanted
as a hostage, and possibly it wa
because it was thought that he
would defend himself, while Franz
hurry had lost all his wages in tn
Beeler failure and could not.
Oh, shame! Shamel Shame.
