SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN.

Occasionally the merchants re-
ceive conscience money from peni-
tents, who have failed TO pay for
goods. but the latest Is letter from
young man to Fire Chief Wood,
asking how he may be forgiven for
turning in a false alarm about five
years ago. Chief Wood will add the
letter to his scrap book. and will
write the young man a letter telling
him to be good the rest of his life,
and the false alarm will be settled
fully. The letter is from Cincinnati
and reads: "Mr. Wood Chief OF fire
department, Paducah, KY. Dear Sir:
About FIVE years ago when a boy OF
twelve or thirteen years old. ] can
not remember the exact age now, |

Congress demands that the presL
dent produce the information on
which is based the statement that the
principal reason for tying the hands
of the secret service men, was to pre-
vent their spying on congressman.
1t is quite within the memory of most
of us that these same congressman
made that very declaration them
selves when the appropriation bill
was before the house last year.

PANHANDLE BUYS TIMBER
Bangs Sells Large Tract at Spirit
Lake.

The Spokesman Review OF Nav 3
IS authority for the following infor-
nation about timber deals In the
Spirit lake country:
Buying Of white pine timber lands
In Northern Idaho has been started
again by the Panhandle Lumber com
pahy. A deal was closed yesterday by
which the Panhandle company bought
from N. Bangs and associates 800
acres OF stumDage IN the Spirit lake
valley for $4,000. The stumpag
will yield about 10, 900, 900 feet.
This land is contiguous to the ex-
tensive timber lands that the Pan.
handle company bought about lS
months ago from the Rogers Lumber
company for $3.50. 900. The company
also bought out the even larger Brad.
ley interests farther down the Pend
d'Oreille river. The big mill now
under construction at Spirit lake IS
being built to SAW this timber, and
later another mill will be established
at Newport.
Mr.. Bangs, who sold part of his
interests Yesterday, is the pioneer
timber man of the Spirit lake country.
He picked up all the valuable white
pine timber lands which we're owned
by the Rogers Lumber company south
OF the Pend d'Oreille river.
In addition to this purchase the
Panhandle company is negotiating
for the timber holdings Of Robert
Miller il the vicinity of Spirit lake.
This tract comprises 1000 acres, and
the price is said to be $40, 1000.
The fact that the Panhandle COM
pany again is buying timber lands
and rushing work on its big mill
indicates hopeful outlook for the
Immediate future Of the lumber trade
The company owns over 100, 900 acres
of white pine and mixed timber land
in northern Idaho.

Typhoid at CGur d'Alene.

Occur d'Alene has many cases of
typhoid just at present. Several
doctors We're seen as to the probable
cause, it was universally conceded
that the germs were in the water and
IL was considered advisable to boil
all the water To be drank by the
members Of the family. The cases
are located throughout the town and
it Is believed the water is filed with
typhoid germs that have been floating
down from lumber camps and out of
the rivers. The high waters have
tended to increase the danger by
speeding the water forward more
rapidly.

Post Falls.

A delegation from the East Green
acre district met with the board of
education Saturday evening to dis
cuss school matters. This is the
part Of the Post Falls district which
they attempted to have segregated to
form new school district about two
weeks ago, but was refused by the
county commissioners for various
reasons, the chief one being that an
attempt was made to take in part of
the Incorporated town. The delega-
tion asked for large school building
at McGuires and do away with the
vans, but after considerable discussion
the matter was left as it stands.
One or two people have been circu-
lating the report that the new con-
crete high school building is unsafe,
owing to inferior material and cor
struction. A committee consisting
Of Architect Williams of Occur d.
Alene, Stewart Young and Jof q
Crenshaw of Rathdrum, and A. M,
Martin of Post Falls, were up and
inspected the building Monday and
found it safe in every respect. Com
nents were frequent by the committee
in regard to its solidity and workman

THE STOCK ORDINANCE
Its enforcement Stirs Up Some
Trouble.
MEAN TRICKS CHARGED
But Proof of Wrong Doing is Not
Presented.

Some OF the unpleasant cOnseQuen.
ces attendant upon the enforcement
of the stock ordinance In Rathdrnm
were brought to light during the past
week, and two or three citizens laid
their grievances before the council
Monday evening.
Under the provisions of the ordi-
nance Marshal ]. e. Sullivan has
been impounding cattle found roam
Ing about the streets at large and
unattended either during the day or
night. The fee to recover cattle
from the pound is ST. per head besides
costs Of Gaze, aud the ordinance pro-
vides that after Eve days notice
animals not taken from the pound
shall be sold at auction. Three
calves were sold In this manner last
week, the owner appearing a day or
two later and recovering his stock by
paving fees and costs. He was
farmer living near Sucker lake and
had not maintained careful surveil-
lance over his yonng stock. When
the situation was explained to him
and he was made fully aware of the
necessity Of inforcing the ordinance
to keep the city from being made a
stock pasture, he said he did not
blame the authorities ft, locking up
his calves. Various farmers are
interested in the matter for the
reason that their stock are liable at
times to wander into the city limits
and be put ~ the pound and sold be-
fore they can discover the wherea-
bouts OF their missing animals. But
the cOuncilmen declare they have DC
desire to infect hardships upon the
farmers or anyone else while enforcing
the ordinance to keep the stock of
the streets and alleys as is done In all
| other municipalities where an effort
IS made to keep trees from being
| stripped OF their leaves, lawns broken
, into and gardens DESTROYED by roam
ing cattle. The members Of thu
council, however. realize that the
ordinance is faulty in that it does moi
allow sufficient notice and time In
which owners of cattle impounded
may locate and recover their missing
animals before they are sold and q
bill Of sale Is issued by the city, ano
1t is understood the ordinance will bs
amended to remedy this fault at tn,
next meeting.
Several persons claim that boys
tempted by the 25 cents heat
offered anyone for driving loose cattl'
of the streets or alleys into tn,
pound. have resorted to the trick o
rounding cattle In from out Of town
and complaints were made to tn
council Monday evening. 1t de
veloped, however, that there was III
evidence to substantiate the charges

denied any wrong doing 10 the matter
