MISS AND OUT" CYCLE
RACING Is THE LATEST.

A decided novelty in the line of cycle
racing has been started at the Vailsburg
races in New Jersey. 1t is the idea of
Fred W. Voigt, the very original promo
ter, who has so successfully conducted
the Sunday meets for the past three years.
II is called the ''miss and OUT race. In
addition to the usual prizes at the finish,
there is a prize of IS to the winner of
every lap. The last contestant at the end
of each lap drops out until four riders are
left in the contest. This produces a
struggle among the slow men in the rear
as we'll as the fast men in the front.

THE kootenai Herald has
undoubtedly voiced the pro-
per sentiment in regard to the
apparently inequitible manner
in which timber lands are as
sesscd in this county, as
shown in the Humbird tax
case against the county. If
present laws are insufficient it
is time that adequate lcgisla-
ton be had in the matter and
the suggestion that the coun-
ty commissioners, assessor.and
county attorney investigate
with a view to securing a just
method Of assessment, in the
next Legislature, is not intimc-
~.

A Letter From Capt. Fisher

w. II. Gable has received let.
ter from Capt. James A Fisher,
who is at the soldiers home nea,
Los Angeles, California, which
will be Of interest to the old veter.
ans friends here. 1t is dated Feb.
nth, and, in part, is as follows:
81 am as well as when l lief,
Post Falls, but my eyes are no
better. | cannot read one word
am writing; cannot cross or dot
an j. l do not like this place.
1t is all sham from the beginning.
The country is the driest desert
ever was in. Cattle and shee D
have died OF starvation by the
thousands here this winter, and
there has not been an inch of rain
since came here. They raised
beans here, over ten thousand
acres in this vicinity, last year.
II they get enough rain to sprout
the bean, the fog will do the rest.
Water is worth all the land and
property put together. The coun.
try is bored full Of holes and you
can hear pumps going all the time.
One well produces water for one
acre Of ground, enough to raise a
dozen orange trees and few ger
aniums. Everything is worked
for show. 1t is pretty and the
climate pleasant, Lut - such a
country. But as will probably
h I've to come back here to die
must not give it too bad a name.
There are aboa. 100 buried. heye
