Proud of Idaho.

w. /. Kinnear and wife return
ed from the coast several days ago,
after an absence of two weeks,
during which time they visited the
Exposition at Portland, and took
a trip to Vancouver, B. c. Speak
ing of Idaho at the Exposition, Mr.
Kinnear is very enthusiastic over
the showing our state made. He
was in attendance on Idaho day,
when Idaho literally took the Web
foot metropolis by storm. Idaho
ans poured into Portland by spe~
cial trains and on all trains. A
parade was formed and the line OF
march was through the principal
streets to the Exposition grounds.
The bands played, flags waved and
everybody cheered. Governor Good
ing headed the procession. Arriv-
lug at the Exposition grounds,
Supreme Judge Ailshie presided,
and Governor Gooding and Con-
gresham French delivered address
ses. Then there was more hand
shaking and a grand ball at night.
All had 4 great time. 1t is delight
full to meet people from ones home
country in some distant land.
Idaho's exhibits at the EXPOSE
ton are in the front rank, states
Mr.. Kinnear. Both in quantity
and quality, they are sufficient to
make an Idahoan feel proud of the
state. Those having charge of the
exhibits arc to be commended foI
their courtesy and attention to
visitors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinnear returned
by way of the Sound and enjoyed
several days on saltwater, going as
far as Vancouver.

Bragaw and Whitney.

Two citizens of Kootenai County
are located at Boise City, filling
high positions in the state govern
ment. They are Robert S. Bragaw,
State Auditor, and e. l.. Whitney,
Warden of the state penitentiary.
Their many friends will be pleased
to read that these gentlemen are
filling all expectations, in that they
are administering the affairs of
their respective offices with great
credit.
Mr.. Bragaw's long service as
auditor of Kootenai county has
peculiarly fitted him for the posi-
ton he holds, and his Office is a
model of neatness and system.
Promptness is one of the watch
words in his department, and while
from 9 A NJ. to 4 p. NJ, are state
house hours, Mr.. Bragaw does not
hesitate to burn the midnight oil,
in order that the work OF his
department may be kept up in
times of a rush. His long career
in politics also stands him well in
hand, and caseies hm 10 avoid
the many pitfalls always yawning
for victim around any state cap
ital. These facts, in connection
with his genial manners, have won
for Mr.. Bragaw great popularity.
Mr.. Whitney has most difficult
position to fill. The wardenship
of the pcnitentiary has gives Ida
hos governors more trouble than
any other department of the state
government. There have been quar-
rels and scandals in connection
with this Office in great number
The position requires man OF
strong executive ability, of good
business judgment, and OF decis-
ion and force of character. Mr.
Whitney seems to combine all
those qualities in an admirable de-
gree, and he has given o clean
business-likc administration Of the
office.
We believe it is fact that bu
one prisoner has escaped from ths
inititution since Mr.. Whitney to
charge. and that convict, a mos
desperate character, was recaptureC
and returned.
Mr.. Bragaw and Mr.. Whitney
and their families are each pleas
antly located for home enjoyments
and their success and prosperity
will be noted with great satisfact
ion by their friends in Kootenai.

Want to Bridge the Kootenai

A. J. Kent was out to Rathdrum
on the 10th and interviewed the
county commissioners in regard to
extending the slip over and across
the Kootenai river, so as to make
a low water bridge across. The
commissioners agreed TO donate
1900 towards the enterprise
Mr.. Kent is circulating a petition
to raise about $4OO, and would like
to have the people on the Northside
donate so pilings, 80 feet long;
II stringers, 25 feet long; Is caps,
Is feet long If this amount OF
material can be furnished, the
bridge will go in at once. The
cost will be about $3.50.
Mr.. Kent will endeavor to raise
the balance of money to build the
bridge.
A low water bridge across the
Kootenai would be of inestimable
value, especially this year when Sc
much freighting is being done. II
is very probable, also, that the
bridge might be made to serve fol
a considerable time, as experience
has demonstrated that such a
structure can be made to stay

THEY ADMIRED
MOVIE SCENERY
Spokane Newspaper Men Go over Corbn
Line and are Greatly Impressed.

II. L. Brownlee and w. c. Nor
ris, representing the Spokesman
Review, made the HERALD Office a
pleasant call last Monday. They
had just returned from a trip up
the Moyie, along the Corbin line,
where they had been to gather da-
ia for their journal, concerning Mr..
Corbin's great enterprise. Mr..
Morris is the cartoonist and sketch
artist on the Review, and Mr..
Brownlee is a special correspondent.
They were enthusiastic about the
trip and the sights they saw, and
gathered material for several stor-
les for the Spokesman-Review.
Speaking of the scenery along
the line of the new road, Mr..
Brownlee says:
Old time railroad builders in the
camps of the contractors are pleas
ed with the route of the new line,
and quietly commend it as one OF
the most beautiful scenic routes in
the entire west. In getting a grade
of one per cent or less, the track in
some places is being laid almost
along the mountain tops. But in
no place is the road more than a
few hundred feet distant from the
Moyie river and the canyon through
which this pretty river flows. AT

Eckert Ranch Sells for $1,000.

James r. Eckert has sold his
ranch near Copeland to II. s. Rec
mer, Of st. Johns, Wash. The pur-
chase price was 81, 900 half cash,
and balance in payments. The sale
includes 1888 acres of land, mostly
hay land, 40 acres of which is in
timothy. One hundred head of
cattle go with the ranch, also six
head of horses, and farming
machinery. Mr.. Reemer takes
possession next week.
Mr.. Eckert has been resident
OF the valley for Is years, and Mrs.
Eckert for IS years. Mrs. Eckcrt
is one of the first white women
that came to the valley. Mr. and
Mrs. Eckert are undecided as to
just where they will locate. They
will be greatly missed ii the valley,
being citizens who are held in
highest esteem.
Mrs. Ruth 4. Thompson. mother
of Mrs Eckert, sold an adjoining
ranch few weeks ago for $780,
She has moved to Spokane.

other points the stream seems hun
dreds of feet below the right of
way. At other places a stone could
be pitched into the swift moving
current from the blazcd trail of the
railroad. Here and there the near
by mountains, clothed in a verdurc
CT green trees so dense that the un
DERIVING ground may not be seen,
rise to points of from 1900 to 1000
feet above the road bed. Within
the past few days snow has covered
the highest OF these peaks. The
contrast of snow, evergreen and
rugged peak produces a picture that
the Yoscmite's famed scenery can
not surpass.
AS the road proceeds toward the
boundary line it dips until but a
few feet above the water of the
Moyie; and at these points the ri
yer in places is as placid as an
eastern brook. Reflections of over,
hanging mountains, bleak or tree
covered, arc as clear as though seen
in looking glass. In many Of
these places along the northern
part of the line, there seems barely
space for river and railroad to be
placed in the steep defiles of the
mountains. The contrasts in beau.
ty could not be beaten.

forger presented a bogus check bearing
the name OF a well known stock ex-.

district. Pearl & Co (stock brokers at

a one-day loan for 100000 with this
unnamed institution. On Wednesday a
check for the amount of the loan plus
$3.50 for one days interest, was pre-
sented at this bank by a stranger who
received the securities deposited BY Pearl
& Co. for their loan. The bank ON which.
the brokers' check was drawn was one
with which Pearl & Co. never had an
account, SO the forgery was not discoy-
cred Until the check had passed through

noon Judge Humphrey heard the clos
ing arguments on the plea of abate-
ment filed by the packers against the
Indictment charging them with illegal
methods Of conducting business. The
grounds on which the abatement OF the

are that the grand jury returning the

not publicly drawn, as required by law,
that defendants were deprived Of their
right to challenge the jurors, that Judge
Bethea sitting in the eastern division

no right toreceive the return of the
