Boomers are Defeated.

The HANDLERS defeated the Boston
Boomers, a team composed entirely
of women, at the vacant lot on Division
street Sunday afternoon by a score of
Is to 10. It is claimed that the Bloom
ers are the champion team of women
players in the country. A large crowd,
which tested the capacity of the
grounds, attended the game.
The game was devoid of features,
but the women should have credit for
playing better game than is usually
put up by amateur teams in Kenosha.
Athletics at Practice.
Manager Fred Pfeffer brought his
Kenosha athletics to Kerosha yester-
day afternoon for a romp on their
home pasture, and the showing that
they made was very gratifying one.
A large crowd went out to the park to
witness the practice, and the fans be-
1ieve that the Athletics will be able to
give the Kenosha Regulars a good
rub. Manager Pfeffer has secured a
splendid team. The team will open
the season at Racine on next Sunday
afternoon.

Washington Gazette's Endorsement
of Col. J. II. EstiII.
Washington, Ca. Nov. 22.-The latest
issue of the Washington Gazette, the
Oldest and one of the best established
newspapers of Northeast Georgia, con-
tains the following editorial anent the
forthcoming gubernatorial campaign in
which Col. ]. H. Estill of Savannah is
strongly indorsed
From different sources two distin-
guished GeorgianS have already been
mentioned for Governor in anticipation
of the campaign two years hence. One
of these is Col. !. H. Es1ll of Savan-
nah, and the other is Hon. t. w. Hard
wick, the present representative in
Congress from the Tenth district
Without any disparagement to Mr.
Hardwick, we think it would be wise
on his part to continue his useful ca
reer in Congress. He is young yet, and
later on Georgia would be glad to hon
or him with the govennorship. AS to
Col. Estill, we do not. think there is a
man in Georgia who would make a
better Governor, and there are few
who would make as good a one. He
is eminently fitted for this place and
certainly deserves 1t. He has done as
much for the state and the Democratic
party as any man in Georgia, and I'M
selfshness has caused him to allow
others to reap the rewards of political
preferrnent which by rights should
have gone to him. We hope that Col.
Estill will be made Governor of Geor-
gia in the next campaign without OPP
position. He would give the state as
fine a business administration as any
man who ever occupied the guberna-
torial chair"

WOULD DIVIDE
KOOTENAI COUNTY
Occur d Alene and Standpoint People are
Preparing for the Struggle.

State Senator-elect Herman II
Taylor of Standpoint, representing
the interests of his town in the
matter of county division, was
visitor in Ceur d'Alene yesterday.
His mission was TO talk over with
Ceur d. Alene citizens regarding the
best methods to EN- oloy in bill
which he expects TO introduce call
ing for division ofthe county. A
meeting was called yesterday after
noon at the Ceur d'Alene Trust &
Savings bank Offices and it was
quite well attended.
Mr.. Taylor stated that Sand
points idea concerning a bill was
for the creation of the north end
as new county and making it to
embrace small nub of Shoshone
county. Local citizers stated that
this would leave Ceur d'Alene to
fight it out with Rathdrum for the
county seat, which would be an
undesirable feature. 1t was the
enerAl opinion Expressed local. v
that if possible the bill should be
such one as wonlG create two new
counties and fix the county seats
of them.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1904-12-10

The matter of division line SEEM
ed to be agreed on to some extent
Standpoint desires to have embraced
in The north county the shores of
Lake Pend d'Oreille, and in order
to dc so the dividing line would
extend about three miles west of
the lake before it was traced to the
north, which would make the line
of division on the north line of SO
to where the north line of So inter
sects the Pend d'Oreille river, along
the river to where it again inter
sects the north line of 50; thence
east on the line of 80 to the north
west corner of section 4, township
SO, and thence south to the MOI tn
line of township 50 north and
thence to the county line.
After the matter was gone over
pretty thoroughly Attorneys Goode
Burgan and Whitla were appointed
as committee to look up the laws
and find if the county could be
divided into two new counties and
fix the county seats. If such bill
can be drafted it was understood
Occur d'Alene would support it,
