Sadly Mistaken.

In the Ceur d'Alene Journal of
last week, we find the following
information;
Sheriff Ed. Doust sprang a sur
prise on the gambling fraternity
of Bonners Ferry early Saturday
morning or late Friday night.
Gambling had been ordered stopped
there the same as in other places
in the county but the fraternity
paid no attention to the order and
continued to run as though it had
not been given but they quickly
learned that Sheriff Roust never
bluffs. When he says anything
he means it.
He arrived at Boomers Ferry at
/ o'clock Saturday morning with
two of his deputies and at once
proceeded to raid the gambling
places. The gamblers were taken
by surprise and had no time in
which to secret their paraphernalia
and secured five slot machines, one
roulette wheel and three black jack
tables.
He next visited all of the dis
orderly houses and ordered the
inmates to leave town. They all
complied with the order and Bon
ners Ferry is now as clean and
moral a town as any in the county.
The truth is Boomers Ferry is
still a wide-open town and we note
no change fos the better since the
sheriff and his deputies "raided''
the town. The joints are all doing
business in the old way and at the
old stands. The immoral women
are all here, and the gambling
parapharnalia has been returned
to its owners.

Death of Mrs. ]. W. Swick.

Again it becomes our sad duty
to chronicle another death in our
community Mrs. J. w. Swick,
wife of J. w. Swick, was on Wed
nesday evening, Aug. 80, called to
the great beyond. The lady was
in her 10th year and had been
married less than one year. She
was greatly beloved by her associ-
ates, and in her death the commun-
ity loses a most estimable young
woman.
The deceased had given birth &c
a daughter about three weeks pre-
vious to her death and never re.
covered from that illness. The 10,
FAINT survives.
Mr.. Swick, the grief stricke Il
husband has all sympathy in hi
great sorrow.
Mrs. Swick's father and mother
Mr.. and Mrs. Said, reside on the
Northside.
Rev. Wilson conducted the fun
eral which was largely attended.

HIGHER TAXES
IN KOOTENAI
State Board of Equalization Raises Land Values
25 per cent above Assessment

Owners of real estate IN Koot-
enai county will pay more taxes
this year than last, by reason of
the state board of equalization rails
ing valuations in this county %
per cent. 1t is also likely that the
county commissioners will have to
raise the rate again this year, so
that higher taxes all around may
be looked for. The action Of the
state board is told in the following
dispatch:
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 2S.-The state
board OF equalization announced
the result of its deliberations this
evening and the clerks in the au-
ditor's Office were busy tonight fig
uring up net results. The assess
ment fixed by the board on rail
roads is about as forecasted in these
dispatches. All the main lines,
with the exception of that portion
of the Oregon Short Line from the
Utah to the Montana boundaries,
formerly known as the Utah North
ern, is assessed at $500 mile.
The exception noted is assessed at
$9380. Branch lines remain as as
sessed last year, excepting the
Boise and st. Anthony and the O.
R. & N. in Kootenai and Shoshone
counties, this being raised as fol

Progress of Spokane & International

The work of constructing the
Spokane & International is pro-
crossing slowly, owing to a scarcity
of men. From Naples, twelve miles
west of Boomers Ferry, to the
Northern terminus of the line much
grading has been done, but west
of Naples, much of the line has not
yet been even located. At the rate
of progress so far made, it will be
another twelve mon tbs before the
road is completed. The bridge
contracts have only just been let,
and work on the bridges has not
yet started. MIR. Skinner, a Spo-
kane contractor, secured the con
tract for all the bridges on the line
