The adoption OF q resolution
by the republican county com
mittee favoring the division OF
the county "at the earliest prac-
tical time" may be OF more or
less Importance or significance
from either a political or econo-
mic standpoint. We believe that
the division OF Kootenai county
at this time is premature, but
the agitation for division is so
strong and has lasted SO long
that the time is probably at
hand when the question must
be settled one way or the other.
For years the opponents Of
division have resisted successful
~, but many Of the staunchest
opponents are now in favor of
dismembernent. We have made
Rathdrum's interests our inter-
csts and in subscribing those in
terests we are inclined to the be-
lief that since the issue is upon
us it might be well for Rath.
drum that the matter be decided
Us speedily as practical.

THE direct primary election
idea is spreading gradually and
is being enacted into law in a
number OF the states in more and
more perfect form rs experience
is gained. 1t is receiving much
favorable comment in republican
circles in Montana and Washing
ton and beginning to call forth
more than u passing notice in
Idaho. The indications are that
a primary election law will
eventually be enacted in this
state. Such a law brings the
selection of nominees more
directly into the control OF thu
voters themselves instead OF
their delegates; it makes it
necessary for the people to take
a livelier and deeper interest in
things political and disarms
those who charge conventions
with using improper methods or
bartering with the rights OF the
people, as so often heard in CAM
paign times. If sufficient inter.
est should be aroused it is not
unreasonable to suppose that
such q law might be considered
by the legislature next winter.

COMMITTEE MEETING.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

The meeting Of the committee
proved very harmonious and
passed off with the greatest good
feeling. The committee was called
to order by County Chairman c. L.
Heitman and opened with prayer
by Rev. ]. H. Martin. The roll
was then called by Secretary Egg
bers, AZ out of 46 precincts being
found represented either by COM
mitteemen or by proxy. A COM
mittee on credentials was then APP
pointed; also committee on reso-
lutions. A committee from the
Occur d'Alene Commercial club
was present represented by r. N.
Dunn, register Of the land office,
to request that the county conven-
ton be held at Occur d'Alene, and
Mr.. Dunn at this time in short
speech delivered the invitation to
the committee.
The fixing of the apportionment,
the time for holding the primaries
and the time and place for holding
the convention were done by
unanimous vote of the committee.
The committee on resolutions
reported near the close of the
meeting. Messrs Sinclair, Heit-
man, Roth, Whitla and Kennedy
spoke in tribute to the splendid
character of Geo. H. Ross, and

POSTOFF|CE OF
COUNTRY BOOMS

Washington, Dec. 21.-A reduction
of more than 100000 or 27.S3 per
cent in the excess of expenditures
over the receipts of the postoffice de-
partment is shown in the annual 1e-
port of the third assistant postmaster
general, Mr.. Madden. The total pos
tai revenue for the fiscal year of 1906
shows an increase Of more than 49,
900, 900 over that of 1905, the greatest
increase in one year in the history of
the postal service. The total receipts
from all sources are $l67,932, 1872, to-
tai expenditures $178,449,778. The
gross deficit, including losses by
burglary and fire and through uncol-
lected debts is S10,542,941. During
the year $24,O85 was realized by the
department from dead letters, for
which no owners could be found, and
from the sale of unclaimed articles
accumulated in the dead letter divis-
ion. These recommendation are
made:
A rate of postage on letters of one
ounce for local delivery by carriers
or otherwise, one cent each; but if
the letter be forwarded to another
postoffice, two cents.
That the seven different rates of
postage for second class and the one
rate for third class be abandoned,
and in their place uniform rate for
all printed matter of a quarter OF a
cent an ounce To permit, under
suitable regulations, the use OF ordi-
nary postage stamps, as special de-
livery stamps, the latter not always
being at hand or easily obtainable FOR
the purpose Of securing special deliv-
\ cry of any letter or package.

Omaha, Dec. 21.-The trial in the
federal district court of Bartlett
Richards, president; Will G. Com
stock, vice president, and G. G. Jane
son, ecretary-treasurer and general
manager of the Nebraska Land &
Feeding company, controlling 100000
acres of the Spade ranch, and Aquilla
Triplett, their agent, ended last even
ing in the conviction of the defend
ants on SO counts of the indictment
which charged conspiracy to defraud
the government of public lands, and
Isubornation of perjury. The jury
was out but two hours.
The trial began November 49,. The
accusation against the officers of the
company was that they attempted to
secure title to vast tracts of land
within the Spade ranch enclosure, in
Cherry, Sheridan and Box Butte coun-
ties, Nebraska, by means of fraudulent
homestead entries under the kinkald
law, which permitted hOmesteaders
to take up a section of land in semi
arid districts. Scores of witnesses
were introduced who swore that they
| filed on the lands at the solicitation
of the agents of the principal defend
ants, with the understanding that
they would be paid from $500 to
81 900 for their claims when title was
secured and that all necessary i'm
provements should be made by the
company.
A year ago Richards and Comstock
who are counted in the millionaire
class, were convicted in the federal
court of illegally fencing government
land, and fined $500 each and sen
fenced to six hours Imprisonment
each. The latter part of the sentence

Roosevelt removed both the marshal

George G.. Ware. an Episcopal clergy
man of Lead and Deadwood, S. D.
president of a big cattle company
and two of his agents were convicted
on charges similar to the one or
which Richards, Comstock ct al. have
Just been tried. His case is now be

men and their agents are under in
dictment for similar offences. The
maximum penalty for the offense j!

Washington, Dec. 21-President
Stickney of the Great Western rail
road has submitted some interesting
facts to the interstate commerce
commission bearing on the distance
travelled and time consumed in haul
ing, loading. and unloading freight
cars, which he regards of Importance
in connection with any legislation
which may be considered regarding
the car shortage question. In arriv-
! ing at his conclusions, President
Stickney bases his estimates on the
entire freight car capacity of the
country. They are:
The average distance each loaded
freight car is hauled is $50 miles.
The average time consumed by rail
ways in hauling is "a hours.
The average time consumed by
shippers and consignees in loading
and unloading each car is nine days,
or PIG hours.
President Stickney comments:
IF the law or any other power can
compel shippers to load and unload
each average ear in Az days, 1t
would be equivalent to instantly
doubling the effectiveness of the
freight equipment of the railways
in effect adding to such equipment
| 1 100000 cars without cost to the
railways and without increasing their
capitalization, while to purchase that
railways and add to their capitaliza-
ton the enormous sum of 81 1850, 000,-
600, which at per cent would add to
their annual charges $54 100000 to be
collected from the people in addition
| al rates."
THE movement of freight cars
| from point to point, which is the
| function of the railway, and the load
| ing and unloading, which is the duty
of the shippers, are inseparable and
each must wait upon the other. AS
| long as shippers consume nine days
in loading and unloading each car,
transportation will be delayed.
'Tf delays in transportation can be
prevented by legislation such legisla-
ton must compel loading and I'M
loading within a reasonable time"
Opposes Penalty.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-Testifying be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion yesterday, John H. Daley, car
&C countant of the Illinois Central said
the railroads and shippers were equal
| ly to blame for the car shortage. He
advocated an increase in the per diem
charged foreign roads for failure to
return cars promptly. He strongly
opposed any law requiring Transports
ton companies to pay penalty for
failure to furnish cars to shippers
within a specified time. Such a
plan, he said, would result in contin
uation of the rebate evil in anothe-
form and work hardship to both
shippers and railroads.
