that the report OF a largo number OF

OFFICE SEEKS THE MAN
PrOhibltiOnists are without Candi-
date for President.

COLUMBUS, o., Mar. 2O.--With
the Prohibition National convention
now less than four months away, the
leaders in the movement are yet up
in the air" as to candidate for the
presidency. All of the other parties
have logical candidates" In pTofus-
ion, but the opponents of the rum
demon" have not been able to agree
on man, and the choice is still APP
parently as far away as ever. Doz-
ems of men have been mentioned as
worthy Of the honor, but few have
more than local regulations and the
Prohibitionists are DESTROYS of MAX
ing the race with strong man of I'M
doubted craftsmanship and ability.
With gain of a half-dozen dry"
states in the last year, and hot pro-
hibition and local option campaigns
being waged in many other states,
liquor has become more than ever
an important issue. The campaign
managers are hoping and praying
that the man may yet arise who can
lead the Prohibition hosts" on to
victory, or at least to a nearer APP
proach to it than ever before.
The national convention will be
here here on July 15, with 1912 del
egates representing the various

VISIT FAMOUS TREE


pecte0.
PARIS, March 20. - Curiosity
seekers today paid the usual annual
pilgrimage to the famous chestnut
tree of March 20" in the Tuillieres
gardens. According to legend, this
tree always breaks into full leaf on
March 20. Fact doesn't always bear
out this legend, however. and in re-
cent years the tree has comported
itself very much as others in the
garden.
The legend of the Marronnier tree
is that 1t burst into blossom on
March 30 in honor of the birthday
of the king of Rome. France no
longer has a royal family and to this
may be due the change in the trees
habits.

MOVE THE COUNTY SEAT

The people OF Kootenai county
know that the erection OF new eoun-
" buildings will become an absolute
necessity within the next Ave or six
years. All or the jurors and other
persons who have been compelled to
put up with the poor accommoda-
tiona offered them at Rathdrmm
know that the old fre-trap. by cour.
teay called a courthouse. will tumble
down some day. II 1t does not burn
In the meantime, and in either case
II would mean the erection OF new
buildings, The constitution OF Idaho
provides that when the question OF
county seat removal ii submitted to
the voters and defeated II can not
be again voted on for six years. In
this provision Rathdrum pins her
only hope OF being the permanent
county seat. II she can induce the
voters TO oppose removal to this city.
and prevent our receiving twO-thirds
OF the votes cast on the question, the
seat OF government Is safely located
AZ Rathdrum for the next six years,
and before that time expires and an
other vote can be taken the new
building will become necessity.
This ought TO make II plain that the
vote this fall will, In all probability.
determine where the permanent
county seat ls 10 be located. Ii the
voters wish to have It remain at
RAthdrum they win not vote for re-
movai, II they wish to have II To-
Gated In a progressive town that can
be reached easily and quickly by rail
or steamer from any part OF the
county; II they wish to have It where
they may secure at least comfortable
accommodation while transactlng
public business. or doing jury or Wit
moss duty, they win vote for Occur
d'Alene with It's offer OF free site
worth ave times the amount Of the
present site aud buildings.
The one argument used by Rath.
drum to prevent removal Is the OK
ponse and the bugaboo OF increased
taxation. In this argument that
town expects to brighten the taxpay-
ers into helping Il secure the coveted
prize for the purpose OF beneilting
the people who reside there. They
ignore the interests OF the balance
Of the county and care nothing about
the Inconvenience that the public IL
put TO II they can but defeat removal
and continue TO exist on OF those
who arc compelled to so there to
transact public business.
There win be no time more do
sirable for change and the erection
OF suitable buildings than the pres
emit. and no time when the cost win
fall more lightly ON the people, But
wait ten years. until the big lumber
companies have cut on all the timber
and left the country and the taxes
they would pay now toward these
public improvements will fall on the
people direct. There IL another point
In this phase of the question which
Ratharum avoids. and that Is the
fact that the railroads and lumber
companies pay more than one-halt
the taxes OF the county and with the
valuation as at present assessed the
added tax for public buildings that
would protect the records from are
win not exceed 81 on every $1,000
Of assessed valuation. We take the
ground that the protection to the
records alone Is worth more than
that to every property owner In the
county. To the man who pays no
taxes the Improvement does not mat
