CEUR D'ALENE advocates
claim the county can afford to
abandon the county property in
Rathdrum because the site they
offer in Occur d'Alene is claimed
by them to be worth $4,000.
The site they offer may as we'll
be worth $1O,OOO,OOO for all
the good it would be to the
county. It would be decided for
courthouse purposes, the county
could not convert it into cash
and the people would have to
pay in taxes the expense OF
erecting new county buildings
Land is plenty but the money
foE a new courthouse would have
to be wrung from the pockets Of
the people.

will need new buildings just as
Twin Falls needs them. Ii the
county seat is removed, those
now advocating removal will be
in IL position to advocate the
erection OF new county buildings
to cost 100000. And why
not? They will argue that If the
little county of Twin Falls can
afford it Kootenai, with double
the taxable wealth, surely can.
Then will ensue the years and
years Of taxation-the digging
up OF money to pay interest on
bonds and the enormous in
crease OF the county debt. A
gloomy prospect. But it can be
prevented next Tuesday by vot-
ing NO. Think it over and ask
yourself if it is not wiser to let
the county seat remain where
the county already has build
ings that answer every purpose
and will for many years to come.

The CRur d'Alene Press is real

The CGur d 'Alene Press is real
desperate over the pamphlet
issued by the Rathdrum com
mittee. Unable to make reply to
the arguments and facts given,
the Press brands the whole pro-
duction as false and a deliberate
attempt to deceive the voters.
This was expected. But the peo-
pie are able to do th"ir own
thinking. Rathdrum is not at.
tempting to deceive, but invites
the fullest investigation. The
Press may be able to fool some,
but the shrewd, common sense
voter can see through the thin
transparency OF its deception.

JUDGE,
PROBATE
FOR
Brief Sketch of Mr.. Egbers, Re-
publican Candidate.

R. G Egbers, Republican n,minee
for Probate Judge Of Kootenai County,
was born near Cartilage, Ill, March
26, 1865, and there spent the first
eighteen years OF his life on farm.
He was educated 10 the schools of
Hancock Go. III passing his first
examination at the age Of eighteen,
and entering the profession OF teach
ing. After teiching two terms, he
moved to Ritzville. WASH, ia 1885,
where be continued teaching. In
1883 he was elected County Supt. Of
Schools Of Adams County, WASH,
and though only twenty two years Of
age at the time, gave such excellent
service that he was twice reelected
to the same position In 1897 he
removed with his family to AthOl,
Idaho, and settling upon homestead
resumed the work of teaching. In
1902 he was elected School Supt. Of
Kootenai county, Idaho, to which
position he has been twice reelected.
AS evidence of the esteem in which
he is held, he has always been elected
by more than the average majority Of
his party. 1n 1904 when the average
Republican majority in Ko0tenai
county was fourteen hundred, his
majority was nineteen hundred.
Mr.. Egbers has always been a hard
worker, and is naturally in sympath
with the common people. Starting
out In life without means, he has
worked his way by self effort, passing
successfully all examinations, and
receiving in turn, FIRST grade certi-
dcate, and finally life diploma.
His Judgment has many times been
tested In the administration of school
law, and 10 perplexing questions OF
school district organization and di-
vision, and his decisions and re-
concentrations have never once been
appealed from.
Mr.. Egbers has a natural inclina-
ton to law, has had twelve years
experience as an executive of one
branch Of the law. and with his
thorough knowledge of English and
Its construction will make an ideal
Probate Judge. A vote for him is a
vote for good man who will make
az impartial Judge, and competent
probate administrator.

The Journal of CtHur d'Alene
devotes more than a column to
an effort to show that removing
the county seat to Occur d'Alene
would effect a saving to the
county. Jury expenses are cited
and, by figuring the mileage to
Rathdrum and to Coeurd 'Alene,
the journal claims the saving to
the county in favor of Occur d.
Alene for the court terms OF this
year and the fall term Of 1907
would have amounted to $l65.
From this the Journal argues
that the loss to the county is
over $165 a year. This is a mis-
take as the Journal figures in
the last court term OF 1907. All
the court terms Of 1908 are end.
ed and if the Journal was moi
trying to mislead it would elimi.
nate the fall term of 1907 from
it's calculations. This would
make the '1oss" for 1908, ac-
cording to the Journals figures,
only 1927 so. Suppose now
that'all the other items, besides
jurors mileage, swell the Gloss
TO about 1900 or SO. What
does that amount to when com.
pared to $4,000 interest which
the county would have to pay
each year OH $3.50, 1000 bonds to
erect new county buildings in
Occur d 'Alene if the county seat
is moved from Rathdrum? The
$500 or SO is paid to our own
people, residents Of the county,
but the $4,000 interest would
have to be paid to eastern bond
holders, and go out OF the reach
OF the people Of Kootenai county
entirely. Which is the better?
Which is the greater loss? Think
it over.

THE CLEAN BARNARD.
II Is Absolutely Essential to the Pro

The barnyard is a considerable fac
tor in the maintaining of good dairy
conditions. 1t is impossible with a
dirty barnyard to maintain good dairy
conditions. This is because the barn
yard is used every day, and If it is
contaminated the COWS also will be
contaminated and the air also in the
vicinity of the barn will be contain
mated.
The necessity for keeping the barn
yard clean is now so well recognized
that no one thinks of trying TO pro-
duce the best of milk without having
a barnyard that is also clean. Even
undertaking has been resorted to,
to give the necessary conditions of
cleanliness.
The clean barnyard does not have
dirty water standing in 1t. 1t is SO
well drained that the water is drawn
off as fast as 1t comes down in the
form of rain. The shorter the period
during which water is in the barn
yard the less plant food will it carry

Cleveland signed the proclamation rre-
ating the San Jacinto Forest Reserve,

February %, was no mere accident,
since the signature of the proclama-

president Cleveland was one of the
first to recognize the need of forest
preservation, and the creation of the
San Jacinto and other forest reserves
with total area of 25,6S6.320 acres,
was one of the results of his foresight
in this direction.
Throughout his life he took great
interest In conserving the natural re-
sources of the nation, and | particu.

cause the meeting was In part the

IMPORTANT ADDITION TO GOV.
ERNMENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Army officers Recommend the Pur.
chase Of Constitution island Ad-
Iaeent to the Present Grounds
for Enlarged Work,

II the advice OF the commander OF
West Point Military academy Col. II.
l.. Scott. of numerous other high Of
iicers of the army and OF prominent
members of congress and heads of
patriotic organizations is accepted
Constitution island, lying in tho Hud-
son just at the point where the river
breaks through the highlands. will
soon pass into tho ownership OF the
United States and thereafter become n
most important part in the scheme
that plans to make the United States
military academy, already the worlds
greatest military training school, an
even greater institution.
That II is OF vital Importance to the
United States that Constitution island
be acquired there Is no doubt in the
minds OF those familiar with the situa-
tion. Gen. Schoneld, when he was
superintendent OF the military acad-
emy. suggested that the government
acquire title to the property at the
earliest possible moment aud that on
its magnificent rocky eminence there
be erected series OF buildings, ar
| chitecturally harmonizing with those OF
| West Point proper, whore the boys OF
this country, so fortunate as to re
| ceive appointments to cadetships al
West Point, might report in order to
be properly prepared for their en-
trance into the academy proper.
In other words, the scheme of Gen
Schofeld was to establish on this Is
land, which is so close to West Point
that you can throw rock from one
place to the other. the United States
preparatory school to West Point
which was to be as perfect in its owl
sphere as the West Point Of to-day Is
in its. But It was not until Col. Hugl
l.. Scott. the present superintendent
of the military academy. was sent I,
West Point by President Roosevelt
that the plan so long the dream o
army officers began to take definite
shape, and when the next congress
convenes a determined effort will b.
made to have the purchase price o
the island, which Is between $4,000
and $250,000 included in the milltar.
academy bill, and there is ever
reason to believe that the action o
congress will be favorable.
The preparatory school idea is tn
one that is uppermost In the minds G
the officers who are interested in tn
future of Constitution island. and ths
such school will I'll long felt nee
at West Point and result in the trail
ing of an even better lot of officer
than is now possible there seems littl
