HARRISON GIRL WRITES
Gives Views on the County Seat
Controversy.

SVAAVvVASys
To the Editor Ratbdrum Tribune
This essay on the county seat
question was not published In the
Occur d'Alene papers as one Of the
group Of essays by school children.
Ii didn't come within mile Of get
ting the prize offered by Occur
d'Alene. Maybe the Tribune will
find y corner for it.
My parents and nearly all our neigh
bOrs are for leaving tie county seat
right where 1t now is. We don't con-
slider the issue as one between Rath-
drum and Occur d'Alene. 1t is
broader THIN that. The contest is
between C',eur d'Alene and all the
balance Of the county. Rathdrum is
no more interested 10 the question
than Harrison, st. Maries, Post Falls.
st. Joe and all the other villages and
all the farmers. It's Occur d'Alene
on one side and all the other Koot-
enai county people on the other side.
This is the fact because II by any
chance the courthouse should be
moved all the people OF the county
would have tn pay the bills. Indeed,
for the next 20 or 40 years Kootenai
county people would be paying in
terest and principal Of the bonds we
would have IT, sell at a great discount,
too, to get the money to make the
change. This would come very
heavy on all our people for that
length OF time. The parents. their
children and the children Of these
children would be taxed for this pur.
pose.
Occur d'Alene would thus get big,
fine, new building and we outsiders
would pay for 1t. How do you like
that? Suppose the new grounds and
buildings only cost $l5O,0OO, they
would 10 fact cost more, but just say
$3.50, 900 for the sake OF argument.
Then do you know how much we
would be taxed each year TO keep up
this flne sh0wp All for the glory
and profit OF the Occur d'Alene real
estate men. We don't think the
people are quite so silly as the Occur
d'Alene boosters say they are.
Now the people of Occur d'Alene
say they will give site for the court
house. That is a mere bribe To vote
for that town. Did they offer a free
site when they thought they had the
courthouse two years ago? Why did
they not do 1t then? They have no
intention OF giving site. Perhaps
the particular site they might offer
would not suit. then what? The
county commissioners are the ones to
select sites for county buildings and
not real estate boomers OF Occur d.
Alene. The commissioners might
not like the site offered and then the
same disgraceful fight amongst the
Occur d'Alene real estate men to sell
courthouse sites to the county at big
prices would be witnessed as we re-
member seeing two years ago. Don't
foo! yourselves and don't let Others

section. This the Herald firmly be-
lieyes.
Temporarily the state headquarters
are located here, and in charge of
Mr.. B. M. Anderson there has been
manifest much activity. The demand
for Gamers supplies is greater than
ever before, and thousands of cans
are being shipped from this point
daily. Mr.. Anderson has already made
arrangements for receiving and stor-
ing in Palestine home canned goods,
and for the obtaining of a liberal adj
vance of money on same, thus enab-
ling any member to purchase cans
and supplies, that he may continue
canning without being forced to sell
when the market is not favorable.
These goods will be concentrated and
sold to the very best advantage, and
will be handled in car load lots.
If Palestine secures the permanent
headquarters she will have to mani
fest her desire in some substantial
way, for Jacksonville, Tyler and
other places are anxious for these
headquarters. This matter should be
taken up without delay by the Board
of Trade

man or organization in Palestine, but
we prefer this road built through Pal
estine, and hope that the citizens of
Palestine will reconsider the action
of the Board of Trade and will take
steps toward getting Mr.. Hogue to
open negotiations with Palestine
again.
We consider this critical moment
in the history of the advancement of
our county, and time when all
should work together
We know that Palestine to some de-
gree values the business patronage of
our communities, and desires con-
tinuance of the same, and it is but
natural that we should expect some
returns from Palestine, and we hope
that the citizens of Palestine will
consider the financial welfare of our
county in general and will use every
legitimate and honorable means to
secure this road, and we will pledge
ourselves to render such aid as may
be right and fair toward securing the
building of the Union Central road
through Blackfoot, Montalba, Liberty
and Palestine.

CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST
Against the Action of the Board of
Trade In Stopping Negotiations
For Union Central Railroad.

To. the Business Men of Palestine:
We, the citizens of Montalba, Black
foot, Liberty, Price and all the north
western portion of Anderson county,
petition you in behalf of the construc-
ton of the Union Central railroad
through this county. and the city of
Palestine.
We consider the material interests
of Palestine, as the county seat of
Anderson county, and the surrounding
communities one and the same, and
consider that Palestine needs the T.
operation and support of each cgH =
nifty as much as thex.need Paystii
We wish to express our regrets at
the recent action of the Board Of
Trade in returning the $4,000 check to
Mr.. Hogue, and closing negotiations
with him, thereby preventing the
building of the road through Palestine.
We prefer the road built to our
county seat than to any other point
on the l. e G. N railroad However,
we are going to use every effort to
further the construction of this road,
whether it is built through Palestine
or not. We and our ancestry did our
full part in the payment of the $780,
600 to get the l. & G. N. railroad into
Palestine, which made it city in
stead of a country village, but left us
from ten to twenty-five miles in the
woods. Also the memory of the lost
T. e N. o. still fingers in our minds.
Palestine and our community should
today be enjoying the benefits of that
road, and we do not think that the
blame for its loss should rest at our
door.
We do not intend to criticise in an
unfriendly manner the actions of any

THE UNION CENTRAL RAILROAD.

A petition appears in this issue
from citizens of the northwestern
part of the county, asking that the
Board of Trade reconsider the Union
Central railroad proposition. The
people of that section of the county
want railroad, and want it bad, and
they should have one. 1t is one of
the most prosperous and most prom
Using sections of the county. And in
this connection the Herald can pledge
those people that the business people,
represented by the Board of Trade Or
ganization, would like to see that
section of country crossed by rail
road leading to Palestine But for all
that, the Herald believes the course
taken by the Board in connection
with this especial proposition was
wise and proper. The people back of
tci lied 70 show this peo-
pie that they were in a position to
build this road, while everything con-
nected with their schemes indicated
they were more interested in conduct
ing land scheme than they were in
building railroad, and they were
making too free use of the name of
the Palestine Board of Trade in pro-
noting their schemes.
A circular was distributed in Pales-
tine this week, signed by the Union
Central Railroad" in which is stated
that the newspapers of Palestine had
refused to print advertising matter
from the Union Central Railroad COM
pany, when pay was offered. So far
as the Herald is concerned that is
an unqualified lie The only thing
ever offered by Mr.. Hogue was
through a man named Berry, and
was communication in which it was
stated the paper was knocking the
proposition because it was paid by
certain interests to do so. The state
ment was a lie, and Berry was adj
yised to return the manuscript to
return the manuscript TO Mr.. Hogue,
and tell him that it was declined be-
cause the assertion was lie.
No advertising matter has ever
been offered the Herald by Mr. Hogue
or the Union Central railroad, and
the Herald therefore has not refused
to accept it.
AS to whether or not it would &C
cept or reject advertising matter, de-
ponds on the character. There are
certain kinds of ads the Herald will
not print, even for money. And ii
has refused to print them. 1t has
never refused to print any legitimate
ad of a clean character, offered by
people able to pay for it, and on the
other hand has never accepted and
printed an ad, knowingly, which was
meant to mislead and deceive.

The people of Palestine seem to
be up against it in the way of finding
