ments for want of safe place OF de-
nost were kept in the courthouse wood
shed In the investigation your com
mittee ran across quantity OF waste
naner and number of very old ana
obsolete stubs and books from the varl-
Gus public offices placed in one promis-
cuous heap designed for future destruc-
tion. Not paper, document or book IN
the pile or elsewhere in the shed put
had outlivcd it's usefulness years ago.
perbaps a better disposition OF the lou
would have been to burn them. Ihat Is
the practice general in public oiilees'
On the strength of this useless mass OF
rubbish the report seems to have been
circulated that "valuabe court docu-
mentsD were stored in the woodshcd be
cause there was nowhere to store them
in the court building!
Your committee bcgs to repeat that at
no time has any of the county oilicia's
ever complained or asked the county
commissioners for additional safe stor,
age for their official documents. Al.
though thoroughly informed of the stu
alton in the various Offices, the commls,
sioncrs have not deemed it at all ncccs
sarv to build more vaults. That the
records and documents of kootenai
county are as safe from destruction by
! fire MS similar records are in any other
county of the state. Additional vaults
while there exists so great vault space
now unoccupicd, would be useless and
unnecessarily expensive to the people.
Further reporting, your committee,
after fair and Just consideration of
the question, beg leave to say that not
until a rival for the county seat sprang
up have these ulfoundcd and damaging
reports respecting the courthouse gained
currency 1t is needless to say these re-
ports have done and are doing much to
injury the good name of the county and
are contributing to deteriorate the value
of every class of property within the
county. Such reports reaching the ears
of prospective settlers and investors
must necessarily deter settlement and
brighten investors. At the expense OF
the countys reputation and property
values of its citizens, these aspirants
for the county seat have left nothing
undone to spread these damaging un
truths. We believe the good Judgment
of the people of the county of Kootena
will at the proper time and in the proper
place resent this injustice and public
wrong.

Gloves Of Mary, Queen of Scots.

The famous gloves of Mary,
queen of Scots, are still in existence.
She gave them on the day of her
execution to a gentleman of the
Dayrell family, and they still re-
main in the possession of his de-
scendants. They are described as
being of a cool, buff colorcd leather,
embroidered on the gauntlet in silk
and silver wire. Pink roses, trees
in two shades of green and bird in
flight appear upon these wonderful
gloves, and the bright red lining Of
the cuffs is still as fresh and gay as
when the unhappy queen first don
ned them. Silk and leather gloves
were not the only kind with which
the Scottish queen was familiar, for
the poor lady had reason to remem-
Der the iron glove of Lindsey,
when he forced his way to her
chamber to demand her abdication,
grasping her shoulder so rudely as
to leave marks ON it for m,ny day.

THE Cnur d'Alene Press says
the "honor and pledge" of the
people of Cuur d'Alene ought to
be sufficient guarantee that they
would keep their promise to give
the county the free use of their
city hall for courthouse purposes.
But what does the "honor and
pledge of men who deliberately
lie to the people amount to?
They claim the court house is
tumbling down, that the records
are in dang, r, when the fact is
the court he use is good for fiji
teen years yet and the records
are absolutely safe in the large
county vaul5. Are such people
to be trusted?

SEVERAL persons from the
south end of the county, who
had been told by Cgur d 'Alene
men that the court house and
vault were about to fall down
and that the records were in
danger, have actually made
trips to Rathdrum to look into
the matter. Needless to say
they quickly found that they
had been lied to.

Edward Ward Carmack, carry
ing two wards in his own name,
will at the election carry almost
every ward and make Patterson
be still more backward than he
is even now.-News Scimitar.
If Senator Carmack had not
carried the wards of Memphis by
several thousand votes more than
all the wards contained he could
come forward with better grace
asking the people to vote for
him again. He is not down on
record as entering a protest
against what the wards did for
him two years ago in his race
for reelection when he was re.
pudiated at the end of one term
in the senate.

Letter from DR.. Hoyle.
Winfield, Ala, April 26. o

Winfield, Ala, April 26. '0S.
Dear Journal.
We are over in Alabama, and
it is certainly true to it's Indian
name, Here we rest" for l
don't think | ever slept better,
Here we hear no complaint of
the panic or hard times" but
all the people seem happy and
serene. We had scarcely arriv-
at Winfield when a fishing trip
was arranged for Wednesday at
Porter's Mill, 6 miles south of
here. There was a party of IA
men and women. We left here
in surries and wagons and arriv-
ed at the creek by 7 o'clock; ate
breakfast, and by noon had all
the fish we could eat trout,
Dream, etc. All hands proceed
ed to clean, cook and eat fish un-
til we were satisfied, when we
again returned to the creek and
fished till after 5 o'clock p. M,
when we again cooked and ate
more fish, returning home at 7
o'clock p. m. 1t was a happy
day and all seemed to enjoy it to
the uttermost.
Winfield has improved much
since we were here a year ago,
and everybody here seems hap
py and contented and we are
having a roval time. The people
here are so kind to us, and ev-
cry one seems to try to contrib
ute all they can to our enjoyment.
Wife seems we'll contented, and
was quite a success at fishing. I
fear that | will not be able to get
her off soon. Farming is more
advanced here than with us.
Corn large enough to work and
| saw several farms on which
cotton was up to a stand.
Yours truly,

ANOTHER LATE A s

Weather conditions for the past
two weeks have been very un-
favorable to crops and much dam
age has been wrought by the
cold and rain. This has been
general. In this section the
thermometer reached the lowest
point for many years and the
cold would have wrought much
damage had the crops been ad-
vanced as they usually are at
this season. Profiting by the ex-
perience Of last year, however,
there has been no hurry on the
part of the farmers to put the
seed in the ground and it is well
that planting was no farther ad-
vanced. While it is impossible
at this time to say that the late
ness Of planting will materially
damage the crop, yet, conditions
are so similar to those of the
same time last year it is but nat.
ural to anticipate more bad
weather. Should this weather
continue ten days longer the
acreage in cotton will be cut
down, but this cannot be taken
as unfortunate as the acreage
promised to be the largest in the
history of cotton planting
Should an increase in the acreage
in corn and other food stuffs
follow the country will profit by
the what now seems to be a dis
aster and misfortune.

The railroads of the southeas-
tern territory have filed with
the interstate commerce COM
mission tariffs increasing the
rates on fresh meets 3 cents per
100 pounds. With this increase
in freight, meats will take an
other advance. In no other ar
ticle of diet are the people so
badly robbed as in fresh meats.
Although beef on foot is cheaper
than for many years. prices for
dressed beef is higher than ever
before.

The New York Herald's polit-
ical review of the past week
brings President Roosevelt prom
inently to the front again as the
probable nominee of his party at
Chicago. The Herald has added
a Roosevelt column as required
by the situation and takes the
position that the prediction of
the nomination Of Secretary Taft
should be delayed. The enemies
of the president insist that he is
a candidate for the nomination
regardless Of his repeated pro.
tests.

The most beautiful thing in Mr..
Bryan's great Kansas City speech
says the Journal, was his account
of Joseph the Dreamer. Nc one
who heard that, will ever forget
it. Having been described by
various Republican orators as a
mere dreamer" Mr.. Bryan's
imagination wandered back to
the story of the first dreamer of
history. 1t seems that Joseph
of the Old Testament had dreams,
and because he told his brethren
his brethren hated Joseph---can
you blame them?-and traded
him off into slavery and reported
him dead. Many years passed
by and there came a famine. And
the brethren went down in Egypt
10 guy some corn. Ana there
they found Joseph and he had
the corn AS the details of the
story rolled out in the majestic
measures ofthat resounding voice,
the fifteen thousand Democratic
auditors waited motionless and
breathless for the climax. And
when the climax came, land he
had the corn," Democratic en-
thusiasm knew no bounds.
There was rejoicing in the big
hall for space of a half an hour.

The Old Vagrant.

In a recent sermon a good old
Georgia brother said:
1.-The devil is a vagrant; run
him out Of one settlement, and in
less time than it takes to tell it
he's in another, and ready for
business. Oh, that the Calvin
vagrancy law could catch him,
and we would Shackle the old
sinner, and send him to the
Consti-
tuition.

The principal railroads in the
state have found it necessary to
cut down their forces in the
freight Offices. This policy has
been necessary on account of the
decrease in freight traffic, this
being the case especially in tn e
southern section of the state.
A general advance of rates will
probably be announced within a
short time.
