Some Of the Rathdrum people are

Some OF the Rathdrum people are
making a great fuss over a few
diphtheria cases that exist In this
city, and also seem to be much inter-
ested In alleged typhoid fever cases
which exist only In their Imagination.
One business man over there is quot
ed as saying that People are dying
in Occur d'Alene like flies" Such
statements are hardly worthy OF
notice and IL they were true would
be no more argument against the re-
moval Of the county seat than would
be continued harping on the fact that
Rathdrum has just gotten rid of a
smallpox epidemic. Because half
that town had the smallpox It Is no
argument for removing the county
seat. II such were true we might
say that Rathdrum had been overrun
with smallpox all the past winter
and spring and that the authorities
were too indolent to quarantine the
patients; but such things have NO
connection with the county seat re-
moyal, which Is to be made on its
merits and because the people OF the
county wish to remove II from a city
OF the dead to live place, where
there are conveniences and other rea.
sons for the change.

u ls said that statistics show that
the proportion OF divorces and separa-
tloas Il higher and the percentage Of
happy families smaller In our lnterna-
tlOnal marriages than Ia any part Of
the social world OF this country. In
other words, marriage ventures In that
field are unusually risky. And yet
knowledge Of this fact IL not likely to
reduce the number Of such marriages,
because. a. several women who ought
30 know have declared, there ID q no
ton In the minds Of many American
girls that the foreign husband in high
circles IL more devoted to his wife
than American husbands In the same
walk Of life. The truth In this view
doesn't always mean what the unso-
phistlcated American girl may hope
that Il does. Nevertheless she often
has ground for reasoning that anyway
things cannot be worse than she has
known here The busy and ambitious
young American often promises more
than he can ever perform In the way
OF devotion to his family.

not all raw newcomers from Europe.
Some OF them have worked for EN-

have been set adrift by the hard times,
which force some families to dispense

PRAISES IDAHO MILITIA.
Good Shots and Make Model Soldiers,
Says Army Officer.


SPOKANE, Wash, June %
Three companies of the Idaho state
militia comprising the Third battal-
ion now encamped at Fort George
Wright received Saturday the new
Springfield rifles, with which they
will practice for the remaining three
days of their encampment there. Up |
to the present they have been using |
the old Krag-Jorgensen rife, but have
been showing extraordinary skill as
marksmen. Speaking Of the equip |
ment of the guard and the standard
of soldiership set by the state author
tiles, Acting Adjutant General c. E.
Elmer, who is in command, said:
There has been a constant effort
for two years to make the guard a
shooting guard. With that end in
view all the appropriations available
have been used for equipment for
this purpose and the men have been
deprived of much other needed equip
ment. Many of our men have never
had any experience in the handling
of firearms and had to be trained in
the most elementary handling of the
piece. On the other hand some
shoot well, and out of one company
numbering 81 members % qualified
for marksmen in one encampment
lasting 10 days. This was COM
pany B.
The physical and mental qualities
of the guard are excellent. Almost
without exception the companies are
organized in the small towns, and in
some instances come 35 miles from
country points to a central village to
practice. They are for the most
part farmers, while their officers are
professional and business men. The
interest taken by all in working for
better standard of soldiership in the
guard may be shown by the fact that
at the last inspection, held in Feb
ruary, there was an attendance of 95
per cent, although the weather was
muddy and many had to travel many
miles to the rendezvous. The total
enlisted strength of the Idaho militia
at the last inspection was 474 and it
is now probably about $40.
The first battalion will break camp
at Fort George Wright this week.
The Third battalion will hold a SIM
liar encampment at Boise July 27,
lasting 10 days, all of which time will
be devoted to target practice. On
August Z the Second will also go into
camp there for a similar length of
time, and when the national encamp-
ment takes place at American lake
later the men will all have had some
preparation for the duties of camp
life.
The cost of each of these battalion
encampments to the state is about
$500, and this uses up entirely the
government appropriation for our
state, so that there is no surplus for
new equipment. A law was passed
at the last legislature providing a
wage of. $3.50 day for the militia
while in the service of the state, but,
unfortunately, no appropriation was
made to cover this and the men are
receiving only the regular army pay.

STRANGE CASE OF STEAMEE

Declared Coolies Were Sold Into

SHANGHAI, April 1J.-An extraordinary
case is being tried in the British court
here. The crown is applying for the con-

the ground that she obtained fraudulent
registration under the British flag while
she really belonged to a rich Russian
Jew named Ginsburg. who chartered her
to a naturalized American named Zim-
norman. formerly a Russian Jew.
Zimmerman and two low-class Ameri-
cans conspired to kidnap 100 Chinese
coolies from Vladivostok under the pre-
tense of taking them to a Chinese port.
They were actually landed at Guaymas.

to a Mexican railway and forced to labor.
They still remain there.

were appealed to for assistance. Then
they were turned over to the Sonora rail-
way to work.
