CHEW GUM IN COURT.
Western Judges, Lawyers and Jurles
All Addicted TO Habit.


The prevalence at important trials
here and elsewhere seems to have had
the somewhat unusual result Of boost
ing the business of caterers to the
public fancy in several directions.
"Dementia Americana Sundaes" and
popular dramatic productions based
on municipal corruption plots are not
the only things that have thrived on
the general interest in the progress Of
these trials Another result has been
the breaking Of the gum chewing mo-

amazingly. 1t was begun locally with
the jurors in the graft trials. Forced
to sit through long hours for five or
six days week In the court room and
deprived Of the solace Of cigar or to-

practice spread to the members of the
juries which have followed, and now

New Commissioners Districts

The county commissioners of
Bonner county have established
the new commissioners districts
for the county.
The first district takes in a part
of Standpoint and the territory
tributary TO Kootenai, Hope,
Clarks Fork, Lakeview and that
part of the county situated south
and east of Lake Pend d'Oreille.
The second district comprises a
part of Standpoint and all the ter
ritory west Of Lake Pend d'Oreille
and south of Pend d'Oreille river;
also the territory tributary to
Priest river and a part of Priest
river valley.
The third district includes the
north half of Bonner county and
down to the Pend d'Oreille river
at Laclede and reaches to within
less than five miles of Standpoint.
We have never heard any explain
alton as to why Standpoint was
divided up into two commissioners
districts and the third run up
almost TO the incorporate limits of
the town. The probabilities are,
however, that certain Standpoint
politicians are not satisfied with
hogging all the other officers, but
want to fix it SO they can get all
three commissioners also next
time.

BIG MILL STARTS
Bonners Ferry Lumber Co. VIII
Run Day and Night Shifts
CUT 27,000,000 FEET
Manager George Head Will Have
400 Men on the Pay Roll
As Starter

The Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.
will start their big plant next
week. The company will put on a
night and day shift and will start
on run of 100000 feet, the log
cut of the closing season amount
ing to those figures.
There has Just been installed at
the plant a new 500-ton Corliss
engine. 1t is believed that it is
the intention to double the capacity
of the mill next season, as this big
engine will furnish ample power
and the stockholders have been
considering that proposition.
When the mill starts, the com
pany will have a pay roll of about
400 men, including those working
for the logging contractors. There
are about $50 men in the woods,
and there will be 100 men en-
ployed in and about the mill.
The resident management of the
company has changed since last
season. George Head is now the
manager. He has been in charge
since January 1. He has had ex-
tensive experience in the lumber
industry, and is very popular with
the employees as we'll as the stock
holders and the general public.
F. A. Shultis, who has been
cashier for the company since its
organization, continues with the
company in the same capacity.
Joe Maxfield is another of the
employees, who has been retained
He will be superintendent of the
mill.
Fred Gleed, who has also been
with the company since its organi-
cation, is retained and will have
charge of the logging operations.

man this year and James Mahoney
