DEED is GOOD

Rathdrum Is realizing to its fullest
extent the fact that the sovereign
people OF Kootenai county intend to
remove the county seat from that vii.
lage to this city at the coming cleo
tion. As a result of this she Is
resorting to every expedient to stem
the tide that Is flowing toward this
city and making the issue one-sided
affair. The latest claim made by
Rathdrum Is that the county will
lose the ground on which the old
court house shack stands II the peo-
pie vote for removal. II would not
be a great loss II true and the trade
for block Of ground in progress
sIve city like Occur d'Alene would
be q bargain. We presume the
difference In favor OF the trade would
be about $4,000 which would make
the Rathdrum ground worth about
$500, good price. The clause in
the deed on which Rathdrum makes
It's claim ID as follows:
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
Weatwood and that below described
property may be used for erection of
county buildings thereon and for
other uses and purposes Of said
county"
Ry 3 careful reading Of this clause
II win be seen that no time Is speci-
ned In which the ground must be
used FOR county purposes and there Is
no revision clause providing that the
property shall 90 back TO the former
owners In case 1t Ia abandoned for
public use. The title OF the county
70 the property IL. therefore. as
good as any title that can pass from
emo person to another. Tho argu-
ment that the county will lose the
ground II false and misleading aud
il intended to deceive the voter.
The additional consideration OF 81
= mentioned. Weatwood, the former
name OF the village. since has been
changed 70 Rathdrum.

Every time person ticks United

Of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lleutenants consider 1t the most
harmless preparation Of the sort. All
Of the gum used on American postage
stamps is mixed by the government at

where the stamps are made. II is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, In a
liquid form. Is forced up through pipes
from the basement, where 1t n made.
These pipes lead to a series of ma
chimes consisting Of rollers, between
which the sheets of stamps are fed, one
at a time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers. The sheet with its wet
coating Of sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into a long horizontal
due filled with hot air. When II
