LAST WEEKS DEBATE
Ceur d'Alene Speaker Presented
Feeble Arguments.

The people who heard the debate
on the county seat question at the
hall Thursday evening of last week
must not take the speeches made
there as an example of the two de-
bates that were made outside of
Rathdrum, The Occur d'Alene
speaker did not make the speech he
made at Rimrock school house. At
Rmrock he SAID many uncompli.
mentary things of this city; Ia Rath.
dunn he had words of praise instead.
La fact he toned down his whole
argument, knowing that he could
not expect to influence voters at the
county seat, and for this reason left
no opening for spirited reply.
However, in putting in his hour of
time, Mr.. Copen read the Occur d.
Alene city hail lease, conditional
deed to one Of the "free" sites. aud
the deed to the court house site in
Rathdrum. He claimed the lease
was bona 6de and binding upon the
city in case the county seat was re-
moved, while on the other hand he
tried to show that the deed to the
Rathdrum courthouse could not re-
vert to the original grantors, M. D..
Wright and c. w. Wood, regardless
of the words "for erection Of county
building thereon," ETC., contained in
the deed. He further said that the
city hall building was brick, practi-
cally f1reproof with vault on each
floor, and a basement for Jail to be
used jointly by the county and the
city. He avoided claiming that a
new court house was needed but said
the county ought To have better
courthouse and that it ought to be
the best that could be had. Yet he
admitted that the Occur d'Alene city
and school debt was more than $780,
900.
G. r. Klopf, in reply to Mr.. Copen,
pointed out the serviceable condition
of the court house. the ample vault
room, ETC., and called attention to
the fact that it is practically free
from danger of burning. As to the
city hall 10 Occur d'Alene being brick
and practically freproof, Mr.. Klopf
told of the destruction of the fine
brick university building at Moscow,
Of the capitol building OF Wisconsin
and of brick structures in Spokane by
fire. Furthermore he doubted the

etc. But the free use Of city hal
offered, nor the donation Of free
sites, whether they are worth $40 OF
$40, 900, 900, does not remove the
tact that in case of removal, the
county will have to erect new county
buildings.
Some wild promises are also being
made by the advocates Of removal to
further detract the attention of voters
from the real situation. One Of their
speakers, a. man who said he had
been in Coeur d. Alene but two years
and owned no property, had the self
assurance last week to state that in
case of removal he would warrant
and guarantee that for six years not
a man, woman, or child in Occur d.
Alene would advocate the erection
of new county buildings" yet only
the other day two Coeur d. Alene
men, county officials and leaders in
the fight to remove the cou nty seat,
stated in private conversation that in
case Of removal, within Is days they
would petition the county commits
sioners to call special election to
vote bonds for erection Of county
buildings. The fact is that G Coeur d.
Alene cannot afford to give the
county the free use of their city hall
for six years or indefinitely when the
city owes $40, 600 on il and must
pay $240O year in interest On those
bonds. They know they can afford
it and they are making the promise

That Reversion Clause.

The following letter, Of interest in
the county seat controversy, appeared
in the Spokesman Review of October
~:
RATHDRUM, Idaho. Oct. 9.-To
the Editor Of The Spokesman Review:
l dnd In your recent news item from
Occur d'Alene statement credited to
M. ID. Wright, one OF the grantees OF
the old courthouse site to Kootenai
county, that the deed he gave to this
tract contained no reversonary or
clause Of Limitation ia case the pro
perty ceased to be used for county
purposes. That deed was given IN
1883, more than % years ago, aud no
doubt Mr.. Wright has forgotten It's
character. The deed is now before
me, Mr.. Wright is one Of the grantors
aud c. w. Wood is the other 1t
conveys eight lots and contains this
clause:
THAT the said parties OF the first
part for and In consideration of the
county seat Of said Kootenai county
having been located at the town Of
Westwood and that below described
property may be used for erection of
county buildings thereon and for
other uses and purposes OF said coun-
ty."
The additional consideration of ST.
Is mentioned. Westwoud, the former
name OF the village. since has been
changed to Ralhdrum.
The Importance Of this fact is
found In the assertion that In case
the county seat should be moved from
Rathdrum the property mentioned in
the deed reverts TO the original
grant0rs. 1t Is contended that the
law puts this construction upon the
clause quoted and that would lead to
the forfeiture not only of the land
but tne buildings upon 1t. Mr..
Wright was mistaken when he as
serted that the deed was an unQuali-
fed Warrantv deed.
Not many days aan Mr.. Wright was
approached by a prospective purchaser
OF the reversionary interest and re-
fused to sell 1t. Three years ago
when the attempt was made to re-
move the county seat by state legis-
lation G. w. Wool Immediately went
upon the land and took possession Of
the courthouse, Jail, woodshed and
all Knowing that his interest Was
valuable one he employed myself
and other counsel at that time to
secure him 10 It's safe and uninter-
rupted occupation.

OF the Occur d'Alene city hall. In
case of Gre, the displacement of SUP.

the walls being so thick that tho

sets near only one end OF it, II burned,
would not warm the walls through
In asking that the county seat be
moved, Mr. Klopf said Occur d'Alene
was asking that the county abandon
the courthouse, jail and other county
property which 1t owns at Rathdrum
and move into building at Occur
d'Alene which the county does not
own. but which is virtually owned by
eastern bond holders who, he believed,
could raise objection to the use OF the
building for. other than city b all pur.
poses; also, the city. already heavily
10 debt, may fall to meet 81 ayments
on the bonds, the hall change hands,
the county be compelled to pay a
heavy rental, buy the building ol
move out.
All these possibilities being con-
sidered it is reasonable. to presume
that il the county seat is moved /,
will be found advisable II not imperi
tive that the county proceed at once
to erect new buildings. MIR. Klopl
predicted that in case Of removal tht
people OF Occur d'Alene, themselves.
would begin the agitation for new
buildings. An increased debt and
higher taxes would be the 10 evitable
result, aud the real estate boomers OF
Occur d'Alene would reap the benefit
while the farmers and the small or }.
perty owners would bear the heaviest
part of the burden.
The taxes OF Occur d'Aleuc, said
Mr.. klopf, are l6 mills for the city
and Is for the schools, while those OF
Rathdrum were but and 8 mills.
respectively Ninety per cent of the
Rathdrumh people own their own
homes. They are conservative and
economical, he said, and would never
agitate the building Of a new court
house while the present buildings are
adequate and servlceable.
