derers and other criminals, Will give
an exhibition Of their wonderful skill
the drst afternoon Of the Spokane 10.
tersta.e Fair, September 81. This
Will be one of the most exciting scenes
at this years fair. The entire proce.
dure, with all Its exciting Incidents,
Will be illustrated by the dogs, police
and imaginary murderer.
Two met 10 front Of the grandstan cd
VIII get into an argument over race,
will dxnt, and one will pretend u,
shoot and kill the other. The police
Will rush out and an ambulance Will
appear and carry OF the dead man,
while the murderer makes his escape
down the track, but drops his hat Ia
getting away. Within few minutes
Draper and bis famous bloodhouLds
are brought TO the scene, get whId
OF the outlaws hat, and start upon
the trail. These dogs aud the nlan
who will do the deed are practicinv
daily IN Spokane. The dogs afe not
allowed to run free, hut are held 10
leash by Draper. II they were allow.
ed their freedom they would tear the
man to pieces.
BY the time the dogs are brought
to the scene, the man has good start
and has gone HALFWAY round the
track, crossing and recsossIng the
track OF many horses and men la bis
flight. There Ia great excitement as
the two hounds, with their awful bay.
Ing, start 10 pursuit. The fleeing
murderer passes around the far side Ut
track, then crosses over to the stables,
darts 10 and out among the people,
swings around to the north end, and
comes back to the grandstand,
When he reaches this he jumps the
fence and dodges under the platform
where vaudeville performances are
given. crawls clear under this. comes
out on the farther side, climbs onto
tire platform and ascend a framework
which Is used by some OF the per-
formers.
1t is much OF question whether
the dogs will be able to follow the
scent and catch their victim in spite
Of the crowd that will be on the
grounds. Draper declares they can
and will do 1t, but many wonder II 1t
il possible.

TAX levy REDUCED.
Five Mills Less than Levy Of
Last Year.
BACK TO y MILLS.
The State and County Levy
In Detail.

On Monday the county commits
sioners fixed the tax levy for 1906 at
~ mills or $2.70 on each 500 val
uation, for state and county pur-
poses. This is FIVE mills less than
the levy Of last year which was 81
mills. The levy just made is the
old rate before the refusal Of the
railroads and other corporations to
pay their taxes embroiled the coun-
ty in the most titanic legal battle Of
its history. During over two years
OF litigation half the taxes of the
county was held up in the courts.
During that time an increase in the
tax levy was made absolutely neces-
sary in order to meet the running
expences Of the county. But the
corporations were finally beaten. The
tax cases which had been fought in
the courts were decided in favor Of
the county and last winter large
sums Of unpaid taxes poured into
the county treasury. The result is
that the old conditions have been
resumed and the tax levy is once
more back to the low rate Of 1902.
No special road tax has been lev
led this year, SO that there is re-
duction Of 10 mills for all outside Of
incorporated villages.
Following is the levy in detail:

The Republicans Of KootenaI coun

the other hand be owes much To the
Republican party. 1t found him

gratitude to the party would have
dictated that he pursue a manly

Judge Morgan was not even fair to
bis friends. Common gratitude to
them would have dictated that when
he found himself hOpelessly beaten,
he should have retired gracefully and
allowed his friends show TO secure
some Of the county and Legislative
nominations. But this he did not DO,
probably for the reason that he III
tended then to rule,or ruin, and did
mol want harmony.
The Morgan ring has been lighting
the Republican party for more than
year past. There has been no slander
too vile for them to hurl against the
leaders 10 the county and state. Let
thenl go--they will not be able to de-
feat the grand old Republican party.
We doubt II they will be able to affect
the majority figures al all. The
claim that the chief bolter carries
1000 Republican votes in his vest
pocket, to make Democrats Of them
at the crook Of his finger. will be ef-
fectively disproved. Here at Bonners
Ferry, we predict that the alliance OF
the boilers and the Democrats will !
lose the Democratic candidates more |
votes than 1t will gain for them. The
bolt will have mighty few followers
here.
The leaders of the bolt are already |
squirming under the lash of their II.
logical position. With 4 cowardice |
of wrong doers. they are
already trying to shift the response
bility. They claim that the rank and |
die demand that the party he defeated. |
This is even worse rot than their al |
legged reasons for boiling. The source ,
Ut this conspiracy is In the leaders of |
Morgan ring, aud they will not be al |
lowed TO shift the responsi bility. :!
Whatever dissatisfaction there may
be among the rank and file is due en- |
tirely to the false sentiment created |
by them. From what we know OF the |
sentiment 10 Bonners Ferry, we be
lieve that every Republican here is
able to see that this is political con.
spiracy and will refuse to be led into
IT,. Bonners Ferry Republicans are
proud Of their party, staunch IN its
support, and will not place themselves
10 a position to have the finger OF |
scOrn pointed at them for years to !
come.
