FLEET is AT MAGDALENA
News of Arrival at Destination Is
Great Surprise.

News of Arrival at Destination Is
Great Surprise.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, March IA
wireless message received this morn
by the Point Iona government wire
less station was to the effect that
Rear Admiral Evans great feet ar
rived of Magdalena bay early last
night.
News that the big feet has already
arrived at Magdalena bay comes as a
big surprise. The itinerary of the
long voyage, beginning with start
from Hampton roads on December
16 last, did not call for the arrival
OF the ships at Magdalena until Sun
day, so with their arrival at the
Mexican bay last night the feet is
almost four days ahead of time.
1t has been known for some weeks
past that the "big sixteen" would
arrive at It's practicing grounds
ahead of time, but 1t was never sus-
pected that such an excellent show
ing as this would be made. The i'm
portant fact about it is that most of
the four days gain in time was made
on the last stretch of the voyage
from Callao, South America. Pre-
vious to the visit at that port the
fleet was kept on schedule, making
the various stops the full length
called for in the itinerary.
Ships in Perfect Condition.
1t is reported on good authority
that an official message was also re-
ceived from Rear Admiral Evans
himself by the local wireless station
last night to be transmitted to
| Washington. 1t was to the effect
that Admiral Evans reported to
| Washington that he arrived at the
bay with all the ships of the feet
in even better condition than at the
time when it sailed from Hampton
ready for any unforeseen emergency
that may arise and that the entire
fleet is prepared to sail for any des-
tination at any hour. That this mes
sage was received is an assured fact,
but when the local operators were
questioned about it they neither af-
firmed nor denied 1t.
The Importance of this message is
overwhelming. The eyes of the en-
tire list of naval officials, every citi-
zen of the United States, and the
entire world, even, were expectantly
awaiting the reports at the terminus
of the long voyage as to the effect
1t would have on the ships. Now
that word has been received that the
fleet is in even better condition than
at the time it sailed on its long
cruise the mammoth naval under
taking is crowned with boundless
success.
The news to the effect that the |
fleet had arrived at Magdalena bay
early in the evening was received at |
the wireless station at 20 minutes
past midnight The message fur
Their states that target practice will
be started by the fleet just as soon
as the targets are set up and placed
in their respective positions. 1t is
expected that this will be done about
Saturday or Sunday, and that the
battleships will begin practice the
first of next week. when they will go.

REASONS FOR A CHANGE

REASONS FOR A CHANGE
The expense of a change OF county
seat and cost of new courthouse
seems to be the one argument used
by the Rathdrum Commercial club
in its effort to mould public senti-
ment against Occur d'Alene in its
contest for the change. This has
been the theme of all their argu-
ments. with an occasional side line
thrown in for variety. One OF these
side lines is used In the following
from the circular which has been
Issued by the Rathdrum club:
Then, again, the place In the
county which today may be most
easily reached by the greatest num-
Der OF people may not be the place
tomorrow. The center of our coun-
tvs population Is shifting with the
development of new lands and the
surprising growth OF new towns.
Were the center OF population and
therefore convenience OF citizens to
determine the issue at the forthcom-
ing election we have no doubt that
the busy town of Harrison would
carry of the prize. But other and
more essential facts must be taken
into account and the chief OF these
Is the question of expense. What,
forsooth. might be saved to the few
in travelling to and from new coun-
ty seat would serve only to pay
heavier taxes incident to the mainte-
nance of the new county seat"
We admit that there is some truth
in the statement that the center OF
the coutny's population is shifting.
II has been shifting for the past Ave
or six years from all parts to the
natural center. Occur d'Alene is
and has been growing until today 1t
has more votes than all the balance
OF the county combined. and people
want the county seat in the largest
and most conveniently situated town,
which Is their reason for supporting
this city In the removal contest, The
more essential arguments against
removal, however. are claimed to
be the expense, which will not
amount to one-half the loss that
would follow FIRE in the old
shell at Rathdrum. We want every
voter who has visited the county seat
to note this danger from Are and
the loss and litigation that would fol-
low such disaster What does an
expense OF, say $4,000, for new
fireproof county building amount to
in the face of this danger from fire,
involving loss of $4,000? It is
a case OF the penny-wise policy which
has cost so much, both in private and
public business affairs.
In talking with people from vari-
Gus parts OF the county we and
general sentiment In favor OF per-
manently locating the county seat by
a vote Of the people. something that
has not been donein this county. and
then building permanent and sub
stantial buildings. All citizens rec
ognlze the danger from Are In the
present old trap at Rathdrum and all |
who have the best interests OF tho
public at heart are in favor OF a
change. Sign the petition submit
ting the matter to vote and let the
people decide II for themselves. II
Is time for the people to rule. In
II to vote no one can
be jobbed and every citizen has a
right to cast his ballot "a he secs ut,
Rathdrum knows this-knows II to
be fair--and that Is the reason It's
arguments avoid that feature OF the
matter for the appeal to the pocket
book of the voter

no further disturbance, were allowed
to go. Offieer Dalrymple in the
meanwhile went to the livery stable
where Bateman's horses we're and
ordered the liveryman not to let the
horses go until the offender had
given himself up to the officer. The
next morning the chief was called
upon by Bateman, who said he was
ready to give himself up. He was
required to put up a bond of $40
for his appearance in court Monday.
Monday he was fined $40 and al
lowed to go.
The row, Saturday night, started
over offensive language used in the
restaurant by Bateman and his
friends. They became so abusive
that they were ordered out of the
restaurant They refused to go and
began abusing the girl who was
waiting on the tables. Some Of the
local boys were enraged to hear such
language directed to a lady and
took her part. Witnesses say that
Bateman was knocked down once
by one of the boys who refused to
allow him to abuse the lady.
Mr.. Dalrymple is determined TO
put stop to this class of disturb
ances, and says he expects to devote
a good deal of his time to the night
part of the work. After his trouble
with Bateman, he returned to one

CREAMERY COMPANY.
BEING ORGANIZED
Cooperative Institution is Planned and
Outlook is Promising g--Figures Show
Venture Would Pay.

creamery could depend upon twice
that much soon after it was started.
His figures show that 1000 pounds
of butter fat can be handled at a
maximum cost of $14O per month,
and that 5000 pounds can be handled
at cost of only one-fourth more,
or at cost Of $l75 per month. The
minimum income derived from the
turning out of 5000 pounds of but
ter fat Is $500. According to these
figures the creamery would show a
profit from the very beginning If
handled properly.
These figures are not compiled
carelessly BY Mr.. Mattson, but he is
fortified with the proof of each as
eertion he makes. He also has ex-
eellent references for himself and
company from every territory where
they have operated. The company
has established rs creamerles in the
state of Montana, and from each of
these communities the report shows
that the venture has been marked
success.
Aside from the fact that the in
vestment in the creamery would be
a profitable one, Mr.. Mattson has
other reasons why it would be
worth while to take up the matter.
All of the arguments that are PIE
sentable, showing the value to thu
community of creamery are appli
cable to eqen a greater degree IN tbs
case of the cooperative creamery.
The entire profit of the business il
made for the farmer and local stool
holders. The farmers are sure o
] full value for their product.

CHIEF POLICE RAIDS
MIDNIGHT DISTURBERS
Arrest is Made After an Exciting Time,
During which Officer Threatens to
Shoot--Carousing Must Stop.

Chief of Police Henry Dalrymple
is determined that the midnight
carousing and disturbing Of the
peace shall be stopped, and Satur-
day night made his first move to-
ward putting check to the practice
Of a number of young fellows
gathering down town after the
dances and quarrelling and making
unnecessary disturbance.
w. H. Bateman, of Bloomington,
who was considered the leader of
Saturday nights disturbance, was
placed under arrest and fined $40,
and Mr.. Dalrymple says that there
are number more who will receive
the same treatment If they persist
in making disturbances.
Mr.. Dalry,nple had gone TO bed
Saturday night, when he was called
up by telephone and told that there
was free-forall fight down at Tillie
Trill's restaurant. He hurried down
and found some twenty or thirty
people gathered to witness the affair.
A numder of the young men had
their coats off, and were in fighting
trim. when he appeared on the scene.
He Immediately ordered the crowd
to disperse and most of the disturb
ers obeyed, and went home.
In the meanwhile Bateman with
two of his friends had gone down
to the Jap restaurant. Mr.. Dal-
rymple followed them there and
told them he would take charge OF
them. He waited until they had
finished eating, when Batemar
stepped up to the counter to pay his
bill. Before the officer noticed
what the man was about, Batemar
had slipped through the door and
started to run for his liberty. Mr.
Dalrymple followed him, ordering
him to stop, and threatening tC
shoot if he did not stop. Batemar
paid no heed, however, to the sum
mons, and made good his escape.

NJ. Mattson, representative of the
Hastings Industrial Company, is in
Montpelier this week trying to
organize company for the establish
ment of Cooperative Creamery.
Mr.. Mattson, who has the work
in charge, is an experienced cream
cry man. He was, for some time,
manager of a large establishment in
Montana, and until recently was the
Yice-president of the State Dairy
mans Association of Montana.
Before starting in on the work
here Mr.. Mattson made a careful
investigation as to the field here for
such an establishment, and he is
fortified with facts and figures which
he is able TO back up, which show
conclusivelY that the creamery busi-
ness can be made to pay here.
When asked If he would be able
to get enough cream for the starting
of such an institution, Mr.. Mattson
said, "There is enough cream
shipped out of here right now to
make creamery at home pay" He
is also prepared to establish this
fact.
through practical experience Mr.
Mattson is able to state that the in.
stitution can be started with 1000
pounds of butter fat per month.
He says that that much, or nearly
that much is being shipped out right
now and that be is confident tht

The police question was not set
tied at last Fridays meeting of the
council, as had been anticipated.
When one of the councilman broght
the question up the mayor stated
that the meeting was called for the
special purpose of opening bids for
the construction of the city water
works laterals, and that other sur
jects could not be brought up. He
stated to the council that Henry
Dalrymple would qualify at an early
date and the matter was left at that.
Mr.. Dalrymple qualified early this
week.
A number of citizens, interested
IN the extension of the laterals. ap.
peared before the council to discuss
the matter, and from the Interest
shown 1t Is evident that the laterali
will be extended at once.
Thos. Douglas was the first to b
heard. He insisted upon being
given specific information as to th'
cost of extending the laterals in hi
part of the city, and the time requir
ed. He said that the people he re
presented wanted the water, bu

Everything seemed satisfactory
to Mr.. Douglas until he was told
that the rate for watering the lawns
would be ] cent per square yard for
the season. This he regarded as
exhorbitant, and proceeded TO ex-
press his views in strong terms. He
cited the revenue that the city would
get from the water system, and In
sisted that they were going after
revenue more zealously than If they
were private corporation.
In this position Mr.. Douglas was
backed up by Councilman Malone,
who insisted that the people already
owned the water for their lawns,
and if the charge was made SO heavy
they would use the water in the
bitches and not use the city water.
This would entail a great loss oi

Board Rejects Anti-HOg Law.

The board of mayor and aldermen
held meeting in the Office of Recorder
Ellsworth Thursday night and the anti
hog law, which came up for consldera-
ton on its third and final reading, was
rejected.
The ordinance made it unlawful for
anyone to keep hogs within 200 feet of
anv building or dwelling other than
their own, within the city limits.
A petition was circulated and pre-
sented to the board. The paper bore
the names of ten of the leading physi-
clans of johnson City, who gave it as
their opinion that the prevalence of
hog pens, under existing conditions, in
johnson City, was not a menace to
public health.
