said that once In New York when the

ooEuR DALENE's LlBERALITY

The stock argument OF our Rath-

be increased as a result. We will
admit that taxes are high enough. but
deny that the building OF a court
house win increase them. In the
first place. II the county seat il re-
moved TO Occur d'AIene. this city
proposes. and the deeds are already
prepared, to donate to the county
site valued at not less than 500

old shell now owned by the county
In Rathdrum and by courtesy called
a court house. This donation dis
poses definitely OF the argument
that the abandoned buildings will
be a fatal loss TO the county. and
We admit the loss will be practically
total. for the old court house Is not
worth moving, and II 1t were 1t

present dilapidated condition.

the people Of this city propose to

pass upon the proposition at the
polls. The county commissioners are
not authorized to bond the county
for the purpose OF building court
house without vote of the peo-
pie and they are the ones who Will

time comes. In the mean time what
are the people to do for a place In

transacted? That question IL
