COUNTY COM
MISSIONERS MEET
Consider Petition for Big Herd
District

The board of county commissioners
convened at 10 o'clock this morning
and the work transacted today was
OF general routine character. During
the session among other matters that
will come up for consideration is the
application for the creation Of a herd
district Of territory lying between
Athol. Rathdrum and this place. and
Hayden Lake and the Spokane river.
A petition was filed to have this ter
ritory made into herd district some
time ago, but action will probably be
postponed by the commissioners at
this session owing to the fact. It is
said, that the petitioners failed to
give publication Of their intention In
a weekly paper as required by law.
The law proceeded under is that OF
1907, and it provides that a herd
district may be created by the board
upon the application of a majority
Of the electors residing within the
territory, and that after its establish
ment 1t shall be misdemeanor for
any person to permit any animal
named in the petition to at large,
and also provides that for the dam
age done by the animal that the
party injured shall have civil ac-
ton against the owner.

WORK IN FOREST DISTRICTS.
Purpose and Scope of the Admins

Purpose and Scope of the Admins
tratiOn of National Reserves.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE in
stitution of six district offices in the
west by the United States Forest
Service, big piece Of work which
has just been completed, involves a
complete change in the machinery Of
this branch Of the government as re-
CARDS the handling of National For
ests. AS a result of the reorganiza-
ton, the Forest service force at the
headquarters in this city has been
reduced to the general administra-
ton officers and to those who are
conducting the investigative work of
the service outside of the national
forests
The six districts which have the
same boundaries as the old inspec-
ton districts will be in charge of
six district foresters with headquar-
tiers in Denver, Colo; Ogden, Utah:
albuquerque, N. Mex; Missoula,
Montana; San Francisco, CAL; and
Portland, Ore. For nearly a year
preparation for the district organic
alton has been going quietly but
steadily forward. This has thrown
an additional burden upon a force
already excessively busy, but the
work has been accomplished and ac-
eomplished on time. The transition
mas been particularly remarkable be-
cause 1t involved no material delay
y the transaction of National For
cot business while the change was
going on.
The Forest Service said Clifford
Pinchot, United States Forester, sis
putting large part of its work into
me field, where it belongs. The or
sanitation on December 1, of the
National Forests into six districts,
each in charge of local force under
district forester, is something we
nave been working towards for a
long time. That we have not done
II sooner, is because we did not have
! sufficient number Of trained men
% equip the districts.
The district organization will
mean a much freer use Of the Ma
lonal Forests by the people, because

for the people there on account OF the
recent devastating storm.
The petition is signed by a commits
tee appointed at mass meeting at
which it was decided to ask the COVER
nor to present the sad condition of Nc
Gregor to the people of the state. The
petition recites that on June 20 Nc
Gregor and vicinity were visited by the
most disastrous flood, hail and wind
storm within the memory of the peo-
pie who have all their lives been res
idents there, filling the streets with
debris. moving houses, destroying the
sewer system, wrecking many of the
most substantial business blocks and
entailing a loss of many thousands
of dollars The city is bonded to its
legal limit and has no money in the
treasury to repair the damage done.
The loss to the individual citizens is
beyond calculation, which makes 1T
impossible for them to join with the
city in the work of reconstruction and
repair, of a public nature, much less to
give effective aid in gaining control OF
the sanitary conditions.
All Of the cellars of the city are
filled with water, debris and mud,
creating a condition which is calcu-
lated to produce typhoid and kindred
disease.
Moreover the country adjacent and
tributary to McGregor, by reason of the
hail, will harvest no crop this year,
making the situation in the commune
ty doubly serious.

Seik Quarrelsome Fellow.
Seek has a reputation for being
ouarrelsome and usually looking for
trouble. He lives on the Mic Shaffer
farm, in Columbia township, has a
wife and child, and is about 30 years
of age. Chamberlain was not man
who would pick quarrel, but Wouia
fight IL driven to it. AS said before,
he was a giant physically and was
probably the strongest man In this
community. He has been known to
pick up a full barrel Of salt and toss
IT over the side boards into farm
er's wagon, on a wager. He was a
single man, altho he had been once
married. His fathers and brothers live
here.
Outlaw liquor was probably the
cause OF the trouble. The locality IN
town where the row took place has
the reputation of being the headquar-
tiers for more DRINKS and foul-mouthed
loafers and idlers than any place in the
community, except 1t be the jungle,
in the woods about the banks or the
reservoir. which Is the resort OF the
hoboes Of central Iowa.
The coroner is holding an Inquest
today, at which the testimony of wit
nesses to the tragedy is being taken.
The county attorney and sheriff were
on the scene early and got full par
ticulars while the case was fresh. The
charge will be murder, but Seik has
influential friends and the case will
be fought bitterly.
The coroner's jury, after hearing the
evidence, returned verdict to the eff
feet that Chamberlain met his death at
the hands Of Fred SEEK. thus paving the
way for his being held to the grand
jury on the murder charge.
