The county commissioners
were here last week, their especial
business being to look after the
new ferry boat which has given so
much dissatisfaction. 1t appears
that the boat is not built according
to spC cificatiOns and will not be
accepted by the commissioners in
its present form. The report that
the commissioners had accepted
the boat was an error. Several cit
liens of Bonners Ferry urged it's
acceptance through the county at
torney, but the commissioners say
it has not yet been acted upon.

Big Crops On Cummins Place.

The penitentiary authorities ex-

place this year. There are 1000
acres of cotton, as fine as any
that can be- found in the Arkansas
valley, in full bloom and promis-
ing at least l,700 bales, at a con-
servative estimate. This with
the seed, and cotton worth $50
a bale, would easily be worth
500, 900. Besides this there are
400 acres of corn which will yield
10000 bushels, at 80 cents a
bushel worth $1,000. The crop is
being raised by 200 working con-

Episode in Welsh History.

Few stories in British history are
more interesting than that of the first
Prince of Wales and the manner In
which the Welsh, then bitterly hostile
to the English, We're induced to accept
Prince of the Royal family as their
ruler. The ancient Welsh were a
brave and warlike people, tenacious
of their rude independence, Romans.
Saxons, and Normans alike undertook
the subjugation of Wales and alike
failed. In their almost inaccessible fast
nesses, the mountaineers found ref
and the passes of the Snowdon range
We're so difficult of approach and SO
easy Of defence that, after exhausting
themselves in efforts to penetrate the
mountains, the invaders usually turned
back and left the Welsh to them
selves.
1t was not until the time Of Edward
the First that any substantial progress
was made in the conquest of Wales
Edward l. was crowned in 1874 and d.
rectly after his accession to the throne
he began military operations for the
purpose of bringing Wales completely
under the authority of the English
crown. Assembling great army, he
marched into Wales and first seized

Welsh Prince. was defeated, yielded,
then rebelled. and, in the first engage

before, the Welsh took refuge in their
mountains and, deeming that the pass
