marshal had reported to him that the
only way that some of the saloons could
be stopped from selling liquor on Sun
day was for the council to pass an ordi-
nance ordering the screen curtains and
frosting on the windows removed, so
that the police could have an unob-
structed view of the bars on Sunday.
This brought up a general discussion
that was participated in by all the mem
bers and the mayor.
The city attorney was finally ordered
to draw up an ordinance covering these
points. 1t was also decided that doors
leading from the saloons to other rooms
in the same building or to rooms in an
adjoining building would not be allowed.
All doors to saloons must hereafter lead
out into the street or alley.
Some of the members wished to in
clude barber shops in the ordinance, as
one of the shops is alleged to have been
used as blind by Que of the saloons.
The city attorney stated that separate
ordinance must be drawn up to cover
the barber shops.
Among the bills allowed was one pre-
scented by the Pend Oreille Press for the
sum of $425o for printing 50 copies of
tbs rules of the council.
The council then adjourned on the
usual motion bv Bennett.

N. D. CHANCE URGES
SAVING BY POSTAL
The Money Orders Payable
Abroad His Argument for
Government Bank.

Another argument in favor of the
establishment of postal savings banks
Is contained in the annual report or
n o. Chance, auditor for the POST
'ihee Department, just made public.
He points out that in the last twenty
years foreigners in the United States
have sent back to their homes by
means of money orders the enormous
sum Of $431. 1856 623 IN excess of the
amount that they have received from
abroad. More than half of this sum
went out in the last four years. and
80 per cent of the total went to six
countries in Europe, Austria, Great
Britain, Hungary, Italy. Norway and
Russia. 1t represents the surplus earn
3ngs of foreign labor employed in the
Industrial and commercial
BUSINESS of this country.
Auditor Chance says that il Is a fair
assumption that q majority of the for
elgn element sOjOurning in this country
would patrOniZe Government postal
savings banks and thus a considerable.
snare OF the millions Of dollars now
annually sent abroad for deposit in
banks of their own country would re-
main here in the custody Of the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury.

But then those are matters for
future discussion. The advocates
of the New County are not kick
ing over the So, 900 they had to
put up to carry on the survey.
That was minor obstacle they
had to overcome as compared with
ether obstacles. They have won
out on every issue, following
every letter of the law step by step,
and they will win the same way
on December 14th.
! There is left absolutely nothing
Rx the opponents of the New
County to stand on. They have
exhausted every means known to
shrewd lawyers and resourceful
politicians to block and defeat the
movement even before the issus
was submitted to the voters,
which is in it self an Indication
of weakness, and if the election is
carried on the 18th. by two-thirds
majority there is no power on
earth that can keep the 43rd, coun-
ty from being added to the map of
the state.
Happily. it has been a strenuous
but happy fight, full of good feel
ing, and now that it is nearly over
there is no occasion for bitterness.
The New County advocates have
conducted fair, frank and open
fight, adhering in every instance
strictly to the letter of the law,
and after the final issue on the
18th. they will have nothing to
look back upon with regret.
The issue is with the people,
and it is to be hoped they will ac-
cept it with wisdem.

A resident of the old county
said some days ago that If the New
County were formed the old coun-
ty would be ruined, but the gem
tleman never was so badly mis-
taken in his life. Just the same
as the New County will develop
and prosper under smaller and
more compact territorial manage
ment, SO will the old county er-
joy such an era of prosperity and
development that she will wonder
why she did not turn us loose
long ago. 1t is matter of fact
that the smaller counties are the
most prosperous and progressive.

One of the largest taxpayers in
the New County said a few days ago
that he would like to enter into a
contract with every tax payer in
the New County to give them all
above the present levy, provided
they would agree to give him all
under the present levy, for the
next five years. If our old ccun-
ty friends really believe taxes will
be higher in the New County here
is an excellent "get-rich-quick"
scheme for them to take hold of.
