of his official association with the late

Taft, in relating the personal narrative

Chinatown was p1acarded yesterday

sued at the instance of Consul General
Hsu Ping Chen, in which an appeal is
made to the warning tongs to cease
their lighting. The proclamation is
also in the form of a warning and
threat that in case they do not cease
fighting their families in China will be
punished for the crimes committed in
this city.
These placards We're posted in all the

yesterday a crowd of Chinese could be
found standing in front of the brick
walls reading and discussing the warn
ing. The notices state that the tong
war must stop Immediately or the min
lister in Washington will be notified
of the conditions existing here. with
the result that the families of the
members of the warning tongs will be

dependents, the responsibility i'm
posed upon them would not have
been shirked, but both sides would
have been accorded representation
on the ticket.
The sympathy OF the Ring for
Bonners Ferry because this town
did not get representation Ia en-
tirely wasted. The delegates from
Boomers Ferry made a fair and
square fight, and as they lost they
will take their medicine. There
was not a time that the Bonpers
Ferry delegates could not have had
all they were asking for, had they
seen fit to agree to the terms. But
il to win meant some act of perfdy
such as the court house gang were
on the alert to seize, if to win
meant further to throw down their
friends, as the court house gang
threw down H. H. Taylor, and to
some degree Luce and Christensen,
then Boomers Ferry wanted no
such victory. They wanted no
representation on the ticket at such
price, and no Republican in Bon
ners Ferry would have their dele
gates purchase representation al
the sacrifice of honor.
No, let it pass; Boomers Ferry
will swallow the medicine, and al
some future time conditions will
likely be more propitious. We
will support the ticket, even if oui
votes are not needed, as we infer
that all the votes that are needed
are in the circle inscribed by the

Affinity" Lands in Jail.

Marshal Hoagland placed Henry
Trevena under arrest last Thursday
evening, and he is confined in the
city Jail awaiting the arrival of a
U. S. Marshal. Marshal Hoagland
made the arrest at the instigation
of postal inspector. The charge
against Trevena is sending indecent
letters through the mail. 1t is
probable, however, that charge of
lunacy is the proper complaint to
be made against him, as he seems
to be insane.
1t appears from the Postal Ia
spector's story that Trevena has
been sending innumerable letters
to young lady back in Brecken-
ridge, Colo. Trevena never made
the acquaintance of the girl, but

wood product of the Kootenai Val
ley is in demand. The cotton
wood will be cut and disappear
long before the pine forests are ex-

doubt soon be enlarged, as the
orders already exceed the capacity,
AS the cottonwood is removed,
more land will be brought under

additional benefit of increasing
the agricultural area of the Valley,
and is a most valuable acquisition
to our industries.
