Driftwood and Other Things.

The Northern Idaho News is out
in 4 crusty editorial of column in
length, criticising our rem arks last
week about the expenditure OF
$4,000 for q county poor farm.
The News misrepresents the po-
sition we took in 30 many particu-
lars that we do not deem its edi-
torial worthy OF reply as whole.
We did not say that the county
had paid big price for the poor
farm. We do not know whether
it did or not. What we did init
mate WAS that ia these times Of
financial stringency it would be
we'll for the county to go a little
slow, the same as all prudent bust
ness men are doing. We are still
Of that opinion.
AS to the side remark about the
drift wood endangering the bridge
at Bonners Ferry, we have to say
that there is big drift still there,
the News to the contrary notwith-
standing, and as the drift is now
frozen in, it will probably remain
there until spring. unless Commits
sioner Dunn can make contract
with God Almighty to remove it
earlier.
Again is the Northern Idaho
News mistaken when it twists our
remarks about cutting down ex-
penditures into a criticism OF Com
missioner Dunn. Since his elec-
ton to Office we have never men.
toned his name except in a COM
lplimentary manner. In fact, we
have great admiration for our com.
missioner. A man who car
run the Democratic party and 6
large share OF the Republican par
ty is a man OF considerable ability
to say the least.
This is a new county and it car
not afford to have everything thai
looks good, the first year. 1t may
be all right for a Democratic com
missioner to spend the money, bu
the Republican party will be held
responsible for the size OF the tai
bills when the people come to vot,
again.
