l.. SURVEY rs COMPLETED
Great Northern Engineers Reach
?, Boundary from Dewey Lake. -,

The survey for the Great Northern's
new line into International Falls has
been completed 1t took Engineer Eddy
and his crew a month to complete the
line from Dewey Lake to international
Falls. which is fast time considering the
I heavily timbered country thru which
! the line will pass. The distance by the
line established is seventy-seven miles
and Mr.. Eddy says that 1t is an ex
traordinarily favorable country for rail-
road building. as there are no bad cuts
or bills and few swamps.
From Sturgeon Lake to International
Falls the line was run 10 degrees west
of north and there were so few devia-
Tho the present survey is only pre-
liminary>to establish a base line from
which to work, on account of similarity
of the adjacent country, the eng ineers
did not believe the permanent line
would vary much from the base line.
The route established would take the
, line into this city down Second avenue,
but 10 is not yet known where the depot
and terminals will be situated.
80 The climax. of six months negotia-
lions between the Koochiching company
and the Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winni-
peg railroad has settled all doubt as to
: where that road will cross the river,
and there is no longer any doubt that
/ International Falls will not get the
S road, but that a rival town will be es-
!. tablished at Pither's point. The Cook
interests, which control the new road,
have maintained from the start that
they would. if unable to come to terms
with the Koochiching company, cross
the river at Pither's point, and would
. build sawmills there and establish a
rival city. They have exercised op-
S lions held on property at the point, and
land on which to build their terminals
and for townsite purposes.

His directors say that he expects to
get fair treatment, but declines to say
what fair treatment would be. The
gist of it seems to be that he has spent
SO much money already that it will be
the first investment.

Few Figures Furnished Show That Ccuntys
Financial Status has Improved Greatly.

were only 3,oS557 greater than
its cash assets; or in other words the
county owed only S43, ,o85.57 more
than it had cash in the treasury.
By comparison of the condition
of the county in July, 1902, Ga re-
suit of Democratic administration
with that Of July, 1906, Ca result OF
Republican administrator, it will
be found that in July, 1902, the
county owed S1o3,l72.oO more
than it had cash in the treasury;
while in July, 1906, it owed only
S43, oS5. 81 more than it had cash in
the treasury.
By taking the difference between
these two conditions we find that in
July, 1906, after nearly four years of
Republican administration of county
affairs, the financial status OF the
county was Sllo, 1898 better than
under the Democratic administration.
In the above comparison the
spirit of fairness to both administra-
tons will be apparent from the fact
that the figures are taken from the
July reports in each case.
The voters will not forget that
during the campaign two years ago,
the Democratic speakers had the
audacity to try TO gull the voters
into thinking that the Republican
administration had increased the
county debt, whereas they KNEW
that thousands of dollars of taxes
were unpaid at that time as a result
of certain corporations contesting in
the courts the constitutionality OF
certain special road, and special
school taxes.
Now that conditions speak for
themselves in that the county of
Kootcnai is considerably over one
hundred thousand dollars better off,
as result of three and one half
years OF Republican comfy admins
tration, it is not likely that the tax
payers will wish to return to the
debt making Democratic policies.
The Democratic speakers and
press are again at their old tricks Of
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1906-11-02

On the 18th day Of JAM, 1908,
when the Democratic party in
Kootenai county, Idaho, turned
over the administration of county
affairs to a Republican board of
county commissioners, the total
county debt according to the audi
tors and treasurer S reports of that
date, amounted to S222, o21V,
while the total cash in the treasury
in all funds at that time amounted to
S83,48l.47. By taking the differ
ence between these amounts it will
be found that the county's liabilities
at that time were Sl3o, l40.30 great
err than its cash assets; or in other
words, the county owed $l3o, l40. 30
more than it had cash in the treas
ury.
As to what the condition of the
county will be on Jan. IL, 1907,
after four years OF Republican adj
ministration OF county affairs, the
reader may judge after comparing
the last quarterly report of the audi
tor and treasurer, made July 9, 1906,
with that of the quarterly report OF
the auditor and treasurer for the
same quarter four years ago, or
July, 1902.
In July, 1902, the total county
debt amounted to SOB, 900. 4o, and
the total cash in the treasury in all
funds $2o,ol7.8o. By taking the
difference between these amounts, it
will be found that the county's lia-
bilities at that time were Sl63, l72. 90
greater than its cash assets; or in
other words the county owed Slo3,-
172. 60 more than it had cash in the
treasury.
In July, 1906, exactly four years
later, (and after three and one half
years of Republican county admins
tration), the total county debt
amounted to only SOL, 52l.73 while
the total cash in the treasury in all
funds amounted to Sll7,53o. 10.
By taking the difference between
these amounts it will be found that
the county's liabilities at this time

Misrepresentation in the present
county campaign. They are repre-
senting that the tax levy this year is
high, when as matter OF fact it is
the lowest in the history of the
county Tor years past. 1t will be
remembered that two years ago
during the campaign, the Democrats
referred to their last levy of q mills
tor state and county purposes in
l9oz, as their low levy. Yet the
levy this year for state and county
purposes is exactly the same-27
mills. But the present administra-
ton should receive credit for the fact
that this year out Of the q mills
levied the schools get 7 mills, where
as out OF the 27 mills levied four
years ago by the last Democratic
administration the schools got only
5 mills. The result of this difference
is seen in the fact that only one
third of the school districts of the
county found it necessary to levy
any special tax, this year, while
lour years ago practically all of the
districts were compelled to levy
special taxes for their support.
Another Democratic misstatement.
or rather misstatement Of the Dem
ocratlc press of the county calls for a
correction, and it is only necessary
to quote from the county records to
prove the baseless distortion of facts.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-That

proves the course taken by Governor

questioned. 1t was officially announ.
ced today that Secretary Taft, the

Secretary Taft will speak at Pocatello
FRIDAY, Nu.tnu,r 2..u, and at Boise
next day.
President Roosevelt has been
deeply interested In the Idaho cam.
paign since its inception because he
has been anxious that the people
snail give their hearty support to the
ticket that stands for law and order.
He deeply regretted the attempt made
In some quarters to becloud the issue
when it was SO apparent to him that
this is the only issue involved.
The president chose Secretary
Taft to go to Idaho because Taft is
the most forceful OF any Of his adv-
sers. Secretary Taft will con6ne
himself almost entirely to the ques-
ti0n Of law and order and will leave
no doubt that he, the president and
his entire administration look to
Idaho to save its good name by re-
cording an overwhelming majority for
the Republican ticket.
The president is SO intensely in
earnest that his instructions to Taft
would leave the secretary little option,
II he had inclination to choose other
topics, but Secretary Taft is as much
concerned as the president. The
secretary will deal with thu subject
in vigorous manner, leaving nu
doubt as to where he stands.
During his stay In Boise, Secretary
Taft expects to look over the bar
racks and talk with represen tative
citizens aud army officers about the
proposed enlargement of the post to
