STILLINGER'S RECORD.

County Attorney Stillingei, now that
1t is about election time, is trying to
make a show of being a great friend of
moral reform. But the people will
prefer 10 judge him by his past record
rather than any prediction spasm.
Stillinger has been county attorney for
over five years, and there is nothing in
his official record to indicate that he
cared even little whether the law
against gambling was enforced, or the
law against prostitution and houses of
Ill fame was violated. Until very
recently Slot machines have operated
publicly, with no attempt at conceal
ment, and the professional gambler
thrived even in Moscow with no ev1-
dent fear OF prosecution. Liquor has
been sold in open violation of law
in houses of prostitution, and that
under the very nose of Mr.. StilIinger
IN Moscow. Nothing was done until
Mayor Mathews, republican who be-
heves in decency and law, backed by
law enforcement council, passed
city ordinance. When Shllinger did
act he sent to Spokane, hired detec-
tives to be paid out Of county funds,
and then gave an exhibition of his idea
OF law enforcement by sending his
hirelings to Troy and Princeton, with,
as the detectives have declared, in
struchons to let the rest Of the county
alone.

The Moscow Daily Journal is no
more. Neither is Windy Doolittle
Smith. And with the demise of the
Journal Latah county looses its most
able editor, for Henry c. Shaver, say
what you may, possesses an ability as
writer Of which any man ought to be
proud. The News has not agreed
with Mr.. Shaver as to policies, but we
never ceased to have warm personal
regard for the man. He has, like other
men, some faults, but he also has his
virtues. The News wishes him success
in his new field at Occur d'Alene City.
Personally the News has little griev-
ance against Windy Doolittle Smith.
Yet we can't help feeling that in loos-
ing this monumental old fraud Latah
county is gaining great deal. Com
ing to Latah county with a blare OF
trumpets that was almost deafening,
and an air Of pulled up importance that
startled the natives, this man Smith
landed in Latah county. He didn't
wait to get acquainted. He called
people by their first name, and just
smothered everybody with silly, sicken-
ing soft soap. He fairly slobbered
over others. He entered politics, slid
into the arena, gathered up the repub-
lican party, and then proceeded to run
things. At each succeeding conven-
ton of the party he either nominated
or seconded the nomination OF the
whole ticket. He joined all the
lodges, attended church, and by eva
sion and struddling, stood for every
thing, or nothing, as occasion demand
ed. Talk about being popular!
Nothing ever hit Latah county that
was marker to Smith. But all things
have an end, and so did Smith. Soft
soap work all right for while but it is
not the stuff out of which permanent,
lasting, undying manhood and char
acter is manufactured. You can make
nice bubbles out of soap, and Smith
made bubble. But like all bubbles
Smiths bubble burst.
Charity would compel us to say no
more, but Smith deserves none. He
is the biggest bag Of hot air, double
distilled gall, and three-ply nerve it
has ever been our misfortune to run
across. He grated everything upon
which he could lay his hand, idled
away his time playing cards for pea
nuts, and slid out Of sight with the
knowledge that he hasn't friend left.
He leaves not regret over his depart
ure The only thing is the fear that
ne may come back. But it is to be
hoped this last misfortune may never
befall a long-sufering people. Latah
county has had enough. Let US drop
the curtain.

The CITY Clerk Is Puzzled.

Ii IN search OF completely complex,
contradictory and absolutely incompre-
hensible set of laws, your attention is d.
rected to those passed by the last legis-
lature pertaining to caucuses, conven-
tions and elections in the state of Wis
consin. The compilation is made pursuant
to Sec. 342, Wis. Statutes of 1893, with
amendments, revislons, insertions and
repealments so dexteriously interspersed
as to make Interpretation an impossi-
bility yea verify, even under the scru-
tiny of disciple of the law from Phila-
delphia. Options galore are given for
adoption of section after section, and
the application of general charter laws
are frequently referred to as "unless
herein, hereafter or otherwise provided
for" You are directed to proceed under
the laws of certain years, and then you
are told in language plain in the foot
notes that those particular laws have
been repealed and are no longer part of
statutory laws. The manner of securing
place on the ticket has been changed,
the form OF the municipal ticket has
been changed, the form of notices have
been juggled until you are at loss to
know whether to issue subpoena COM
handing voters to attend election or an
INJUNCTION compelling them to remain
away. Again we find a consoling para
graph couched in these words: "Fail-
ure to give such notice shall not invali-
date such election and this statute
shall be liberally construed, so that the
real will of the electors may not be de-
feated by any informality or failure to
comply with all provisions Of law" I'm
der the circumstances these last two
presentations look gilt-edged to us. One
thing in the election laws is made per-
fectly plain and without any contradic-
tory amendments. It is this--the annu-
al municipal election shall be held. on
the first Tuesday in April. Thanks to
the law makers for putting in one clause
that was not befuddling. f

ing contributed largely to the success of
the day. The opening meeting was held
Saturday evening in the Congrefational
church where Mr.. Puehler spoke of the
work of the Y. M. G. A. is doing all over
the country. Secretary Anderson dwelt
upon the work that was being done
through the association for the men and
boys of Wisconsin. At the regular Sun
day morning services the claims ofthe
Y. M. G. A. were presented. But the
afternoon meeting for men only was the
big meeting OF the day. Preceding the
service, the male quartette sang several
numbers on Front street and invitations
we're extended. About 120 were in at
tendance at the meeting, where Secre-
tary Anderson gave an inspiring talk
which was received with much appre-
citation and enjoyment by the men. In.
the evening at the union service the M.
e. church proved too small to hold the
crowd that gathered. The quartette
again rendered splendid service, and ad-
dresses were made by Mr.. Anderson and
Mr.. Puehler While it is not deemed
desirable to organize Y. M. G. A. in
town at present, there were so mary ex-
pressions of interest in the work that it
is quite likely that some day there will
be hourishing association here. Ger
tainly the interest evoked last Sunday
would point to this as probability.

COMO ORCHARD LAND co. PRO.
NOTES NOVEL PROJECT
IS AN IDEA OF F. D. NICHOLS
Members of University Faculties, Fam
Gus Authors and Other Noted Men
of Effete East To Have Club
House Near Lake Como.

A summer club house near Lake
Como with easy mountain trails lead
ing to wild hunting grounds and
| fianked with rustic cabins amid groves
of Red Mcintosh apple trees, is novel
project indeed, but it is being promot-
ed by the Como Orchard Land Co. for
a colony Of university instructors and
"a nous authors who will hencefocth
pass their summers in the Bitter Root.
The details of the project were worked
out by F. d. Nichols, formerly with
the Bitter Root District Irrigation Co.,
but now a menber of the Couo Or
chard Land Co., who arrived from
Chicago Friday.
Mr.. Nichols explained the project to
Western News reporter. A section
of land known as "University
Heights" has been set aside by his
company, which owns several sections
of orchard land near Lake Como. The
central club house and numerous cab
ins, which will be the homes of the
Summer residents. Mr.. Nichols has
interested a number of the faculty of
Chicago university in the project, who
have bought tracts, and menbers
of the faculties of Northwestern uni
versity, and the universities of Wis
consin, Minnesota and Illinois have
become interested and will visit the
valley. The land is being sold at $500
an acre, in installnents, the company
agreeing to deliver a bearing orchard
at the end of FIVE years. The oppor-
tunity of making splendid invest
ment and enjoying the delights of out
of door life by banding together in a
summer colony appealed strongly to
the university instructors when pre-.
sented to them by Mr.. Nichols, who

Hamilton Business Mems
Club Will Urge Feast
bility of Building up
Bitter Root at
This Time.
Traffic West of Missoula Can
not Be Moved for a Year
and Meanwhile the
Branch Could
be Built.

The feasibility of building a branch
of the Milwaukee railway up the
Bitter Root while waiting for the COM
pletion of the road west of Missoula
will be presented to the officials of the
road by Hamilton business men. Ac-
tion in the matter will probably be
taken Immediately upon the return of
President p. ]. Shannon of The Bus
home Friday.
The time is ripe now for an urg ent
request that the company consider the
extension, in the opinion of the busi-
ness men, as the road will be complet-
ed through to Butte in July and to
Missoula shortly afterward, and line
before any traffic is hauled over the
road west of Missoula. The coutrac-
tors who will he rut of work in few
weeks could begin construction work
Immediately, prov ded the company
authorized the building of the branch.
There are single miles of roadbed
along the line of the Milwaukee which
have cost almost as much as a branch
up the Bitter Root. Hundreds of
tons of traffic could be secured in
the valley, in competition with the N.
p. branch, which is clogged up every
season in moving crops. The valley
would prove an excellent feeder,
which can be said of very little of the
new country opened up west of Mis-
soula.
These arguments will be urged by
the Business Mems Club in it's appeal
