Our Commissioners.

Commissioner James r. Eckert
was in town on Wednesday, on his
way home from a meeting of the
board. The appointment of Mr..
Eckert came as a great surprise to
him, and entirely unsought. The
first intimation he had that his
name was being considered was
when he read it in the HERALD,
and the next he heard was when
Sheriff Doust went down and not
flied him of his appointment. Mr..
Eckert has been a resident of the
valley nearly 20 years, and his
colleague, Mr.. Christensen, has lived
in the Pend d'Oreille Valley fol
about the same length of time. Mr.
Walrad has not had so long a res
idence. All three enjoy the high
est confidence of the public.

Revenue in Sight.

The town treasury and the school
fund have a bright prospect of be-
ing greatly enriched this summer
from the sale of liquor licenses.
The building OF the railroad will
cause many saloon men to establish
themselves in business here. The
advance guard of those who deal
in the liquid of gladness for the
festive railroad grader has already
arrived and they are looking up
locations. Each saloon keeper must
take out a $500 license, cash in
advance, for one years permit.
Forty per cent of this goes into the
village treasury and fifty per cent
to the district school fund. As the
law now prohibits a saloon within
three miles of the line of construc-
ton, except inplaces where licenses
have been in force six months pri-
or to the commencement of con-
struction, the liquor business will
be confined to the towns, and Bon
ners Ferry being the most import
ant construction point on the line
will be an attractive location foi
men in that business. No Other
saloons can get in between Bon
ners Ferry and the international
line

THE TWIN BABIES
WHEELED INTO COURT
Division Question Comes Up in the Supreme
Court at Lewiston, March 20

The Supreme Court convenes at
Lewiston next Monday, March 20,
and we are informed that the coun-
ty division question will have an
immediate hearing.
w. f. Borah and c. w. Beale
appear for the divisionists, and
Wood & Wilson and Chas L. Heit-
man for the anti-divisionists.
Opinion is pretty much divided
as to the outcome. The divisionists
themselves are not sure of a favor
able decision, and the same may be
said of the anti-divisionists relative
to their side of the contention.
Both sides present strong grounds
for justifying their hopes. The de-
cision of the court will be awaited
with breathless interest, because
county division is today more
burning question than ever before,
the people having only just awak-
ened to what is going on.
The HERALD has not taken any
part in the division fight, and doe:
not desire to do so now, and could
not if it would, as the issue is now
one for the courts alone to settle
Our purpose has been to publish
the news relative to the contes
impartiallv.

Lewis county is organized and
has government, but that is about
all that can be said. The govern
ment of the county is not being adj
ministered very vigorously. A great
many things are still lacking, the
most important being cash resour-
ces. OF course, the commissioners
might order warrants drawn, but
pending a decision of the supreme
court as to whether there is such a
concern as Lewis county, Lewis
county warrants would not COM
mand very dignifed standing in
the financial world. Therefore,
Lewis county is resting on it's
oars", and few administrative acts
will beperformed until the Supreme
court has spoken.

of Kootenai and Lewis, is still at
Rathdrum with the strong box sec
urely closed
Edwin Doust, Sheriff of Kootenai
and Lewis, is still at Rathdrum
where he holds his prisoners, but
has deputy, A. A. Merritt, at

Public sentiment is undergoing
considerable change relative to di-
vision. People are discussing the
question now, and giving it earnest
thought, who gave the question
little or no attention whatever while
it was before the legislature. We
hear men who were somewhat in
clined toward division now saying
that the Spaulding bill is an out
rage. They instance the special
road tax fund, which all goes to
Clark county, although it may have
been levied and collected in road
district in what is now Lewis coun-
ty. One district near Boomers Fer
ry will lose $4,000 by the act-oi
course they like it-and other OBJ
jections are advanced. On the
other hand, there are those who
were indifferent or against division
who now feel that it would be un-
fortunate if the decision should be
against the validity of the act
They point out that division can
not long be delayed; that the con.
fusion and expense will have to b,
born sometime anyway; and that al
the lines are as fair us can ever bC
hoped for, it is best to let it stanc
as it is and end the agony.

of minor importance. The only
change made in the deputy inspect
was in the appointment of P. S.
Darlington as deputy for Latah
county, in place of II. w. Weber
who had resigned.
An alternative writ has been is
sued by the supreme court, citing
Edwin Doust, sheriff of Lewis coun-
ty, to show cause why he should
not turn over to Charles A. Nc
Donald, sheriff of Clark county, all
books and papers properly pertain
ing to the sheriff's office in Clark
county. The case will probably be
heard at the Lewiston term of tn,
court which commences March 20
The case is intended to test tn,
constitutionality of the law abolish
ing Kootenai county, and creating
Lewis and Clark counties. 1t j.
reported that Doust in his answe,
to the writ will attack the constitu
tionality of the act on the grounC
that the legislature has no powei
to abolish a county without giving
the people county government fo
a time, and also that under thu
constitution a county seat can no
be removed without the question
being submitted to vote of tn,
people. There are a number o
other objections that will be urgeC
against the bill.

Don't ExDect Too Much.

If YOU wish to be young looking and
happy adopt as your principle in life
never to expect too much of people. A
large amount of worry and trouble
arises from our too great expectation
of others. We expect TOO much of our
children. They must be gifted, beauti-
full. obedient, little compendiums Of all
the virtues. and if they are not this we
think bitter things and SOW wrinkles
and gray hairs for ourselves. We eX-
rect too much of our friends, and i'll
nature is the result of the disappoint-
intn1s encountered. The houSekeepel
develops into Il domestic pessimist who
does not find the orderlintss and clean

A drastic method of smoothing a
