LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec 26.-The
action Of the transcontinental rail-
roads In discharging hundreds Of Mex
lean laborers during the week proceed
ing Christmas has caused much suf-
fering among the families Of the dis.

about 800 in all were let out. Most OF
them have families. and nearly all OF
them were without money when dis.
charged. An effort will be made to

FOR BONNER COUNTY

Yesterday Representative Taylor
introduced bill in the house to di'
vide Kootenai county and create the
county of Bonner out of the northern
half. The bill calls for division
along the lines generally accepted
as the best. The bill is numbered
43 and contains a number of changes
from the original bill drawn up by
the committee" of legal lights who
recently met in Rathdrum for that
purpose. 1t Is said that the "com-
nittee'' bill was so defective that
had 1t become a law 1t would have
looked as though it had been pune
tured by a scatter gun after passing
through the supreme court. Forum

HIGH WATER

Give Northern Pacific and Great
Northern Trouble

Spokane, Wash, Jan. %. - All
through traffic ON the Great Northern
is tied up again after being restored
but few days after the tieup caused
by the Montana blizzard, though this
time the cause is the arrival of the
chinook winds. The mountain SHOWS
have been melted so rapidly that tre-
mendous snowslides have been caused
on both sides Of the Cascades and In
the east Rockies.
In the Cascades there were several
slides on Sunday and several more ON
Monday, and in the midst of the
trouble two trains are stalled These
are westbound trains Nos. l and 3,
which left Spokane on Saturday night.
The work of clearing the tracks was
commenced yesterday on the west end
and it was hoped to get the stalled
trains started toward Seattle during
the night.
The slides in the east Rockies are OF
less serious nature, but at the best
no through trains from the east are
expected in Spokane over the Gnlet
Northern before tonight. All Great
Northern passengers were transferred
to the Northern Pacific yesterday NJ
ternoon. Those who held Great
Northern tickets and who desired TO
go on the Northern Pacific, were sent
to the Northern Pacific city ticket
office where their tickets were TX :

OPPOSE NEW
JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Attorneys Hold Meeting and Rec
Ommend Changes in Laws

Last evening meeting of the
Occur d'Alene Bar associtIon was
held in the law offices of Sanders l.
Flynn at the request Of Senator Mo-
Clear, of this city, for the purpose Of
recommending changes in the laws of
the state which may come before the
legislature in the form of bills.
By motion 1t was decided to adopt
and recommend the changs in the
state laws as presented by James E.
Babb, president of the Idaho State
Bar association, which are as follows:
Abolish the posting OF delivering
Of writs or notices In case of levy of
attachment on execution upon real
property and provide for the making
Of such levy by filing in the recorders
office brief notice signed by the
sheriff indicating the property seized
and the action in which seized.
Change the from Of summons to a
brief statutory form of a very few
words so as to reduce the expense of
publishing and preparing the same
Modify the natuBe Of our pleading
by answer providing for a general de-
NAL by brief statutory formula, thus
saving the labor and expense Of the
methods Of answering at present by
verbose, contorted and at the same
time, confusing denials. Allow
pleadings to be verified on behalf Of
the atf1ant.
Dispense with the necessity or pre-.
partition of findings of fact and con-
illusions of law in cases tried before
the court, making such notifications
in procedure on motion for new trial
and on appeal as would be required
by such change.
Arkansas has lately enacted that
her courts shall take judicial notice
Of statutes Of sister states. An able
commentator has stated that such pro-
vision saves much trouble and ex-
pense and should be uniformly
adopted. We might also require the
courts in the state of Idaho to take
judicial notice of the journals of our
state legislature.
Montana has lately enacted that the
court shall charge the jury before the
argument of counsel. This prevents
an argument thereafter outside OF the
lines laid down by the instruct Ons
and presents the case more definitely
to the jury. The same enactment

trouble yesterday also, as a result of
the warm spell. Very high water In
the country to the west between North
Yakima and EllenbsuIg delayed traffic
for a short time and resulted In orders
being gi zen for the reduction of the
speed of all freight trains TO 30 miles
an hour between those points and Of
passenger trains to 80 miles an hour.
At one time it was thought that il
would be necessary to send a Great
Northern train to the coast over the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation, but
the trouble did not get as serious as
at first feared, and the Great Northern
passengers were simply transferred to
Northern Pacific trains.
Through eastern Montana and the
Dakotas the Northern Pacific was la
boring again yesterday with severe
snOwstorms and all traffic was de.
layed. Nos. and of yesterday
we're marked up indefinitely late on

their parents learn the advantages of
the schools, and the general effect of
the system is eCxellent.
"In the case Of the Carlisle school
the students are taken so far from
their reservations, are so absolutely
separated from their relatives that the
bonds between them are virtually
severed. When they are established
at the end Of the school preriod, it is
the student who is drawn back into
the conditions from which the gov.
eminent had removed him, and not
the people of his tribe who are ele-
waited in any way by his education. "
The Carlisle school was estah ilshed
in 1879, and has heretofore been re-
Rarded as an excelIently conducted
institution, the effects of which were
of the greatest benefit to the Indians
generally, not only in the fart that 1t
was uplifting the Indian race, but
that 1t was constantly demonstrating
the capabilities OF the race for better
things. Announcement that it Is to
be abandoned, therefore, Is likely to
cause q great demonstration among
eastern people. The last Indian APP

regular appropriation for the main'
tainance Of the school, sl5s, 600, but
increased the total amount TO Sta

CHICAGO PRESSMEN
WIN EIGHT HOURS

Information received by the Ito.
cal printing pressmen from Chica-
go shows that the members of the
union in that city have secured the
eight-hour day. The flatbed press
men, as cylinder pressmen are
called, struck recently with the re-
suit that out Of 1850 men who went
out all are back at work with the
exception of about so, the Offices
granting the shorter workday.
The strike in Chicago by the
pressmen was in violation of a con-
tract made with the employers by
the international union in which
the shorter workday was to be-
come effective Jan. 1. 1909. The
Chicago union has been outspoken
in denouncing the contract. as the
members felt able to secure the
eight-hour day at any time and they
considered the time limit agreed
to as being unreasonable. Strikes
have also taken place in New York
and Cincinnati, but no information
has been received here as to what
has been accomplished.
The courts recently enjoined the
pressmen from striking and tied up
the funds of the International SO
that no strike benefits can be paid
the men on strike.
