PETITIONS GROW
ames of Over $500 Secured for
Removal

on the part of Occur d'Alene TO
night successfully against a cam
paign OF this character. The cir
culators of the petitions are secur-
ing. besides signers, full data with
relation to all things anticipated to
arise in connection with the coming
campaign, and this is all preserved
by the committee for future refer.
ence and use. A full account and
record is kept OF all transactions and
labor done by the committee SO that
1t is able to tell at a glance Just
what Is the status of all matters
relating to the work it has under
way.
The canvassers are making a
thorough canvass of the field, but
for fear that In spite Of their
thoroughness some one may be over
looked, petitions will be left in each
ward after the work is completed,
so that any one who has not signed
may 0O 50.
The petitions that have arrived
from the different parts Of the coun-
ty have surpassed in names the
most optimistic anticipations of those
having the work in charge. But few
signers had been expected from
Rathdrum, Athol and Hauser, but
in each one Of these. the circulators
secured majority, and in the other
precincts canvassed but few have de-
clined to sign the petitions or in
Dictated that they were not in IA
vor of the movement. Three sites
have been offered as free and each
one of them is a good location, and
are under consideration by the com
mittee.
The committee as a whole feels
confident of victory in the coming
campaign. but fully realizes that sue
cess is dependent upon contributions
from each and every man interested.
not only in the matter of labor. but
finance as well, and that under those
conditions alone can the fight be
won, as the opposition forces are
well organized and well supplied
with funds,
