GAMBLING ORDERED CLOSED

This order was directed to be
sent to all precinct officers also.
We understand that the fact that
the gamblers at Standpoint had re-
opened their games was response
BILE for the action of the commits
sioners. Mayor Page of Sand
point was present when the order
was made and attached his sigma
ture to the document as approving
the same.
1t looks as though gambling was
thing of the past in Bonnie
county.
Sheriff Edwin Doust was in town
Thursday serving the order. He
notified the owners of slot ma
chimes that they were also under
the ban.

Agreeable to announcement, a
large number of Republicans as
sembled in Standpoint last Satur-
day, to perfect an organization.
The meeting was held in Pythian
Hall, and the business of the oc-
casion was preceded by an address
by Idaho's "Grand Old Roman"
Senator w. B. Heyburn.
Fred Keller, member of IN e
county central committee for Sand
point, presided and introduced the
senator. Mr.. Hepburn spoke in
his usual forcible manner, giving
wise words of counsel, which cre-
ated a good impression and good
feeling. He touched briefly upon
national issu es, outlining the
questions most likely to confront
the people in the next campaign.
He paid a fine tribute to the vigor-
Gus young county of Bonner, and
expressed the hope that the Repub-
licans of Bonner would be found
doing their whole duty in 1908.
He was enthusiastically applauded
throughout his address.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hey
burns speech, the chairman an
nounced that the members of the
county central committee would
convene and organize. The roll of
precincts was called and most of
the committeeman were found to
be present, either in person or by
proxy. Mr.. Keller was elected
temporary chairman and V. w.
Roth, temporary secretary.
Nominations for perm amen t
chairman were called for and Thos.
J. Jones, member of the committee
from Bonners Ferry, nominated S.
D. Taylor. The nomination was
seconded by Geo. R. Barker OF
Standpoint, and the election was
made unanimous. The new chair
man briefly thanked the committee

and took occasion to say that he
was not unmindful of the grave re-
sponsibility entrusted to his hands.
He promised a square deal to all
Republicans, regardless of past fac
tional differences.
A cordial invitation was extend
ed to all Republicans, who in the
last campaign had felt aggrieved, to
get back under the party banner.
This invitation was heartily &C
cepted, and at the conclusion of the
meeting the leaders present of
the dissenting faction of 1906 came
forward and extended friendly
greetings and promised loyalty to
the cause.
While the final action in the Sc
lection of a chairman was unani-
nous, it was not accomplished
without some sharp sparring. But
the conclusion seemed to be gener-
ally satisfactory.
A strong delegation from Bon
ners Ferry accompanied their can
didate to Standpoint to champion his
candidacy, and with what success
can be judged by the result.
Those going down were: Thos. J.
Jones, w. A. Alexander, Geo. R.

McGeevey. Thomas McKinzie

BONNER COUNTY STILL GROWS

$500 per mile, whereas the state
board fixed the rate at $500 per
mile. This made an item of nearly
$2S2,000 to the good. Then there
is being turned in a subsequent as
sessment, so that when the returns
are all in, Bonner county's wealth
will reach up around the $6,000,-
600 mark. Bonner county is max
ing good in'every respect, and en-
tirely justifying the claims made
by those who asked that it be given

1t will be matter of congratu-
lation that the rate this year is not
any higher than it is. 1t was to
be expected that the expense of or
ganizing new county would be
very great. and that the taxes
would be high for the first year.
There has been an extra expense
this year of a new Jail, the trans
cribing of the records, and the pur-
chase OF safes and Office furniture,
all amounting to nearly $4,000,
that will not be a charge another
year. Still, the raise from 50 70 to
$3.50 on the 800 of valuation is
not great.
The action of the board was unan-
imous in fixing the rate. How
ever, Commissioners John p. Dunn
held out for a higher rate, arguing
that more money should be raisel
for roa.ls and bridges. Mr.. Dunn
contended that the roads and
bridges needed the improvements,
and that as times were prosperous,
the people would willingly pay it.
But the rate was finally fixed as
given above.

Death of Ira Crawford

John Ira Crawford is dead. He
had been an invalid for the past
three years, and death came to his
relief on Monday. Sept. 9.
M. Crawford met with an acct
dent about three years ago that in
jured his spine and paralyzed his
lower limbs. For weeks he how
cred between life and death, but
finally recovered sufficiently to be
able to be about with the aid of a
wheel chair. But life hung by only
slender thread and his death was
not unexpected. He owned a val
liable claim in the Curley Creek
country, to which he removed a
few weeks ago, and where he re-
sided at the time of his death.
John Ira Crawford was 40 years
8 months and 20 days old. He
leaves a wife, a mother, three sis
tiers and four brothers to mourn
his loss.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the M. E. church by Rev
K. R. Henderson, and many sor.
rowing and sympathetic friends, in
addition to the relatives, attended
the funeral.

Railroad Rates to Interstate Fair

Beginning Sept II and contin-
uing until Oct. 2, tickets from all
points III the Inland Empire will
be on sale at the different railroad
offices at the rate of a fare and a
third for the round trip to Spokane.
These tickets will bear return
limit of Oct s. This rate will APP
ply on the Northern Pacific, o. r
q NJ, Great Northern, Spokane In
ternational and Spokane & Inland.
In addition to this rate, a special
rate of one fare for the round trip
will be made on all the roads on
certain days, the dates so far an
nounced being as follows: Great
Northern, Sept. 80; S. F. & N,
Sept. &c; 0. R. & N, Sept. %; Spo-
kane & Inland, Sept. &c, and pos
sibly one or two other days. The
special rates on the Spokane Inter-
national and the Northern Pacific
have not yet been announced.
The railroad rates this. year are
exceptionally good, and the fact
that during the past year a great
deal of new territory adjacent to
Spokane has been opened up will
have tendency to swell the crowd
of visitors to the fair.
Ample provision has been made
by the management of the fair to
take care of the crowds, a new adj
dition having been built to the
grand stand and new entrances
have been erected. The fair this
year certainly promises to be the
biggest and best ever"

Bonner stood sixth from the top of

CATTLE RUN OFF BY SETTLERS
Ranchmen Give Chase and Threaten
Bioodshed.

Friction which, it is feared, may
lead to bloodshed, exists between
ranchers and homesteaders in Bow
man and Billings counties. Stock has
been allowed to roam at will over the
fenceless prairies to the detriment of
the homesteaders' crops. The ranch
men look upon the homesteader as an
intruder, while the homesteader con-
tends that he is complying with all
the government requirements; has
paid the filing fees, built houses and
placed the land under cultivation. In.
stead of the ranchers respecting these
rights they have, it is claimed, allowed
their stock to roam at will and Craze
in the grain fields of the farmer.
The feeling of resentment has been
gradually growing in extent. Several
homesteaders near Saltwater gathered
the stock that was feeding on their
lands and started to drive it to Still
water to empound it. The ranchers
combined; armed themselves, and,
mounting horses, set out in pursuit of
the homesteaders and the stock. When
they overlook them they threatened to
shoot the first one that interfered with
their stock. The homesteaders being
unarmed, attempted no resistance, but
went to Saltwater and engaged attor-
neys to prosecute criminal action
against the ranchers. Warrants were
placed in the hands of the sheriff, who
is now attempting to serve them.

JUDGE LocHREN RULES AGAINST
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN RATE
SUITS.
STATE NOT PARTY TO SUIT

ST. Paul, Jly II. - Judge William
Lochren Of the United States circuit
court yesterday afternoon ruled that
the attorney general of Minnesota
comes within the proceedings insti.
tuted by the stockholders of railroads
doing business in Minnesota to re-
strain the enforcement of the new pas.
senger and freight rates. After argu.
ments by counsel had been completed
on that phase of the proposition. tho
Judge gave his decision from the
bench that IL an injunction be issued
the attorney general will be party to
be enjoined. He held that under the
decisions Of the United States supreme
court the suits in question are not
against the state but against such Of.
ficers of the state as threaten to en-
force the law which is claimed to bo
unconstitutional.
Argued Two Days.
The question whether the attorney
general is within the Jurisdiction OF
the federal court was argued for two
days. While the standing of the at.
torney general was decided by Judge
Lochren. the question as to the right
Of the state to make railroad rates
continues to be the main question, and
certain points involved in the past two
days argument will come up again It
is set up by the stockholders of some
of the roads that the rates are confis.
catory aud that the suits are brought
for the protection of property rights.
while other bills allege that the max.
ing of the rates affect interstate rates.
over which the government alone has
jurisdiction.
Main Question to Come.
Some Of the suing stockholders
have filed affidavits prepared by rail.
road officers showing the effects Of tho
new rates on the revenues of the com.
panies. In order to make proper
showing counsel for the stockholders
urged that afidavits from all the rail.
roads should be presented. On this
account the hearing was continued
after the disposal of the question OF
the standing of the attorney general,
and court adjourned to meet again
next Tuesday morning, when the main
arguments will be made.
