THERE IS this difference between

and the general levy for road pur-
poses: The special levy can either
be worked out on the roads in the
district where the tax is levied or
paid IN cash. The general levy
must be paid in cash. The propo-
sition before the people is: shall the
board OF county commissioners levy
this special tax and give the people
an opportunity to pay it in road
work; let the roads go uuimproved
or increase the general levy. II
seems to us most of the farmers

THE local newspaper does more
tor its town than is generally be-
lieved and if any evidence were
lacking to demonstrate the fact il
is furnished by the Oregon Timber
man, published at Portland. That
journal has a large circulation
among lumbermen in all parts of
the country and the November num-
Der contained three or four items
from the PRESS calling attention to
our numbering industry. One item
mentioned the fact that a new saw
mill was to be located here; another
spoke OF the river improvements
and the third mentioned the sale Of
the output Of the Ceur d'AleDe
Lumber company. Thus the town
and Its recources are brought into
public notice. These things show
concluslvely the value of the local
paper and entitle it to the support
OF every business man in the town.

lar spent for advertising brings

DoN'r Kill ruE GOOSE.

The prospects for a healthy and
permanent growth OF ceur d Alene
were never better than at the pres
ent time. Lumbermen and mama
facturers of lumber have their eyes
turned this way. They look upon
this place as the best location in
northern Idaho for such industries.
With the vast forests OF pine tribu-
tary to the town and the excellent
boomage facilities afforded By the
lake, it is an exceptionally good site
for saw mills; and where these mills
are located YOU generally hud other
industries that manufacture from
lumber, There is also excellent
fire and brick clay near BY which
will be utilized under favorable CON
ditionc. The Ceur d Alene I.um-
Der company contemplates doubling
its capacity and the Vim. Howard
company will put up large mills.
Therefore, as we have said, the
prospects for The future are bright.
And right here we come to the
danger point. The conditions JUS
tify better prices for real estate:
but they do not Justify extortion
and prices that prevail in city the
size of Spokane. There is nothing
20 justify a raise of 1000 per cent. /
for lots on the outskirts of town
that, two years ago, were assessed
at S. each and could have been
purchased for $40. We want to
see real estate prices advance and
hope that those who have held ON
through the long years of depres- /
sion will realize handsome profits
on their investments; but there is
dauger-as in one or two cases that
have come to our notice-of greedi-
ness and extortion preventing the
expansion and doubling OF these
numbering industries. People en-
gagged in manufacturing, or con
templating establishing industries
here, are willing to pay fair prices
for ground suited to their business;
but they will not be held up, and 4
disposition to do this may result in
killing the goose that lays the gold
en- egg. Don't do it. This town
has a good future before it if the
principal owners Of lots are not too
greedy in their demands. Other
wise they may retard its growth
very materially, for years to come.
People have offered to dispose of
property at a fair price, which
would have resulted in increased
manufacturing and a larger paw
ROLL They were satisfied with the
prices offered until others heavily in
terested in real estate inteEfered and
stopped the sale, to the absolute in
jury OF the whole town. This is
not the way to build up a place and
the practice should cease. Ii is
neither smart nor good business (
policy, 1t is selfshness and zeal /
ousy. Cooperation in business and +
united community, with a mini /
mum of selfshness and a maximum
of public spirit, will make a pros
porous, growing town. We want
more Of that spirit here. !
