This is absolutely indispensable if we are to expect victory from the next war with Japan. The remnant of our fleet is hardly more than debris and entirely unequal to Japan's naval strength"
 The Admiral further said 1t was necessary to recognize these conditions. however painful they might be to na- tional self-love.
 Therefore" he added. T hesitate to say that we tend towards not far off peace We will leave the Japanese Port Arthur and the territory they now ocupy in Manchuria.

only desires that wherever sett-

the one hand, and for the enormous
profit of future generations of cor

Not the least serious feature OF
the creation of these reserves is the
great loss to the school fund OF
this state. Congress made liberal
grants of public lands to tae state

institutions. The creation of these
reserves prevents the state from
making its selections. The Forestry

it the common privilege accorded
other holdings in forest reserves
the right OF retaining tho valuable
Subdivision of lands and making
lieu selections for the worthless
ones.
An official connected with the
state administration, says:
mot only the states interest in
sections 16 and 36 is excluded from
the reserve, but also all OF the gov
ernor's applications for surveys
which fall within the boundaries,
and out of which it was proposed
to make selections for the various
educational and other state institu-
tons. This exclusion OF the states
interests has been done notwith-
standing two appropriations by the
state to the amount of $4,000, to
cover the expense OF making such
surveys, and moreover the expend
iturc Of much larger sums in con-
structing wagon roads to open up
these prospective resources OF the
state. To be cut off from these
selections now would certainly work
a serious hardshipon our taxpayers.
another serious feature Of this
matter, is where can the states
100000 acres OF lieu lands be
selected that the selling price will
attain or exceed the minimum
price OF SO an acre required by
law"

The Murray Sun, published some
distance back in the wilds of Sho-
shone county, is out early and can
tankerous for the division of Koo-
tenai county. Its editor is Adam
Albach who was a representative
from Shoshone in the last legislat-
ure, and who distinguished himself
by meddling far more with the
business of KootenM county than
by attending to the affairs Of Sho-
shone county
The meddlesomeness of certain
Shoshone county politicians in this
county division business is open to
the suspicion that it is political
job.
Whether Kootenai divides or
does not divide is a business pro
position that concerns the people
of Kootenai county alone. 1t does
not concern Shoshohc county, and
the people OF Kootcnai county
should resent the Interference OF
Shoshone county with all their
might. Kootenai is able to tend to
her own internal affairs without
passing it up to Shoshone to dc
the business for her.
When Kootenai countyis divided
let it be done as a business PROPOSE
ton, by the people OF Kootenat
county and not by the politica
jobbers outside of the county.

attached to home, where she and
the Judge had family of four

husband, she had a wide circle OF
acquaintance. She was beloved
by all.

To Sell Property for Taxes.


The county commissioners have
made an order providing that the
county acquire title to and dispose
of all the real estate on which the
county has a lien for delinquent
taxes. The last session of the
Idaho legislature passed a law
amending the delinquent tax laws
in a manner that is interpreted to
authorize the tax collector to deed
to the county all real estate on
which the taxes have become delin-
quent the required length of time,
and at the some time authorize the
board Of county commissioner to
advertise the same for sale to the
highest bidder. Heretofore the
county had to hold the property a
number of years and the purchaser
had to pay all the delinquent taxes,
penalties and accrued costs. Now
anyone can buy it at auction ior

view has the following to say:
The homely industry Of taking
out fence posts is to receive help
ing hand from the Great Northern
Railway, which has announced a

the Spokane district.
Heretofore Standpoint has had a

ably situated with regard to rates.
Standpoint exported about 176 cars
in the last six months, going chief
ly to the agricultural districts in

Under the amended schedule all
points east OF Standpoint to Bon

ry OF cents over the present rate
from Standpoint, or s cents per

the same basis Of reduction applies
from the same territory to points
