AsH1EY's ARGUMENT.

AsHLEY's ARGUMENT.
Representative Ashley took the
floor as soon as the bill had been
read, in opposition to the measure.
He had been in the county since
1886, he stated, and had become
very well acquainted with the people
and the physical features as the
years went by.
He told OF the means Of commu-
nication by rail, electric line and
water. The county, he stated, was
Of an average width OF 40 miles,
and 14O miles in length, giving an
area OF $500 squire miles. The pop
ulation in 1900 was 10000 and was
now something over 10000.
The debt of the county at the
present time was $2S9.OO0, but
when the delinquent taxes were all
paid, it would reduce this debt to
something over 100000.
He read a protest against county
division signed by all but one Of
the county officials, who argued
that the present rate OF taYation-
81 mills-was very high and that
county division would render nee
essary two county buildings and
sets of officers, and would precip-
itato Il county seat fight in each
county. The debt would be nearly
doubled. County warrcnts were be-
low par Under the present arrange
mcnt and this condition would be
intensified under division. Ii the
matter were left to a vote OF the
people, division would be over
whelmingly defeated.
MIR. Ashley urged that Standpoint
and Cpm dAlene were DESTROYS OF
becoming county seats, which caus-
cd oil the trouble. He read extracts
from a number OF Kootenai county
papers to support this contention
and stated that to divide the coun-
ty would be to throw away about
/ $4,000 worth Of county building.

He read number OF telegram

testing against division, and state
that the majority OF the people di
not want division at this tim,

County School Board to Meet

There will be a meeting of the
County School Board next Satur-
day.. May goth. The object Of
this meeting is' to suggest TO the
Board Of Supervisors what amount
of diatrict money will be necessary
to efficiently run the schools for
the session OF 1905-06. Under
the old constitution this tax
could not exceed 10 cents on 500
Of real and personal property.
This, however, under the new
constitution, can be enlarged to
the extent of 80 cents on 800 IL
deemed desirable. The surplus
can be applied to the payment of
teachers, both IN the better pay
of teachers and the extension
Of the term. The Board OF SUPERB
visors allowed last year but little
IL any, advance In several OF the
districts over 10 cents on the 800.
1t is the concensus of opinion
among experience school men that
the schools cannot be run benef.
cially and successfully in the dis
tricts for e period exceeding ak
months 10 the year.

Thursday Nights Storm

An electrical storm Of decided
energy, accompanied by wind and
rain, descended upon Lexington
about 10 O'Clock last Thursday
night and continued for several
hours. AS lar as known no
serious damage resulted, but the
Jownpour was refreshing to the
thirsty earth. The town was
made clean by the rushing waters
through the streets, aud the
streams, creeks ard rivulets have
been full every since. About five
inches of rain fell.
In some parts OF Rockbridge
che public loads had been freshly
worked, and in consequence the
loose earth was all washed off,
leaving the second estate worse
than the first. This is rnother
practical illustration of the in
efficiency of the present make shift
methods of road improvements.
Reports from various parts Of
the State how thai she storm was
quite general in Virginia. Hcw-
ever, no serious losses are reported
from any section, although high
waters prevailed In many parts OF
the State.
Considerable damage WAS done
to the wires OF the Lexington
Light Il Power Co. About one
hundred phones were injured by
the storm, and several days elaps-
ed before they could be repaired.
