ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM
System Installed in Rathdrum
Schools.

A complete electric bell fire
alarm system has been installed in
the Rathdrum school houses, con-
Meeting both buildings. The wir.
ing was done last Saturday, push
button being placed conveniently
on every floor and set of signals
has been prepared by Superinten-
dent Spoerry for the guidance OF
teachers and pupils in giving
alarms in case of fire. The signals
vary for rush and time calls and
for sending the pupils to the from,
or rear.
With ample front and rear exits,
fire escapes, fire drills, and electric
alarm system, the Rathdrum
schools are about as safe from loss
of life by fire as the ingenuity O
man is capable of making them
The steam heating plant is regard
ed as being also perfectly safe.

ACCEPT CITY HALL lease
County Commissioners Also
Select Courthouse Site.
VAULT ROOM INSUFFICIENT
And More Valuable Records are
Left In Rathdrum.

The county commissioners last
Saturday, after inspecting the FIVE
sites offered Ivy Occur d'Alene for
courthouse purposes, deeds for
which had been placed in escrow,
accepted the site near the Coeur
d'Alene & Spokane electric line as
the most beautiful and accessible.
The commissioners also accepted
the city's lease Of the city hall, to
be used as a courthouse, free Of
charge, until the voters Of the
county determine, by an election,
to bond the county to erect new
county buildings.
The board examined the city
hall, last week, and are reported
to have been much vGxed to- find
that all the three vaults taken to.
gether have not combined
capacity sufficient to hold all OF
the county auditors records, not
to mention the records Of the other
county officers. The three vaults
are each 6 by 8 feet, whereas the
county vault in Rathdrum is 8 by
Fl feet. However, it is alleged
that the city Of Coeur d'Alene will
build vault which will be OF
sufficient size, and in the mean
time the more valuable of the
records will be left IN Rathdrum
for safe keeping.
The temporary quarters for the
county officials, while awaiting the
completion of the city hall, are
, scattered about the city where
vacant storerooms, etc., could be
obtained. For these temporary
quarters, the county is to pay $aoo
| a month rent

The President Is always In perfect
physical condition. His body is hard
and supple from pedestrianism, eques.
trlanism, tennis and other manly
sports and although he weighs two
hundred pounds and is not tall, few
men Of his age-hfty years--are able
from their lack Of training, to keep
up with him.
There Ia no doubt that this govern.
ment suffered severely in the begin
ming Of the war ri 1861, and In Cuba
aud the Philippines from the fact
that the army was to large extent
commanded by obese ana It may be
said superannuiated commanders.
This was certainly the condition of
General Winfield A. Scott and the
general at the battle Of Santiago aud
there is a strong sentiment ia favor
Of the earlier retirement of elderly,
obese and unfit officers. This has
been the object Of the recent trial
marches on foot aud on horseback.
Ii war should be declared now, the
Commander In Chief OF the Army
would doubtless be General Leonard
Wood, as ye' comparatively young
man who has just returned from
command in the Philippines, after
having spent a year 10 Europe OBJ
serving and studying the manoeuvers
of the French, German, Austrian and
English armies.

Spokane's Water Problem.

The water problem 10 Spokane has
not yet been solved. In an effort to
get pure supply to take the place Of
the Spokane river water, the city last
June began to use a. we'll. 1t has
been discovered that the water from
the well causes lime to form In the
hot water pipes throughout the city,
clOgging them and ::.aking IL neces-
sary to put 10 new pipes from time to
time at great expense. Commits
sioner Wetzel says the city will have
to 20 back to the river or arrange To
get It's water supply from Priest lake
or Pend d'Oreille lake.

DRILL 100 FEET MORE
City Well Down 900 feet and No

The we'll, which W. S. Gentry has
been drilling for the city since las,
August, is now over 300 feet deep,
and the council at a special meeting
Monday evening authorized Mr.. Cen

unable to complete the 100 feet, and
fail to strike water b.fore reaching
the stipulated depth, he agrees to

drilling be shall have done up to the
time he quits work.
The council has been much disap-
pointed that water Las not been
reached within the 300 feet of depth
but still has hope that the drill may
strike a subterrenean flow before 20.
Ing many feet further. 1t is argued
that to quit now would mean the loss
of all the time and money thus far
expended on the project. amounting
u more than $500, when it is con.
sidered possible that by going little
farther success may be attained.
From the surface to depth of

From there on down the hole is
