cause for the alarm. Mr.. Lembkey took

the islands that unless under known
surveillance they did not hesitate to
kill the herds in ruthless manner.

A crowd which packed the superior

'held by the "drys'' in the court house

followed by VIII r. Moore, president
of the Pendleton Commercial asso-

plain that he strongly resented the
statements made in regard to his city

saloons there had been detrimental
to the town. He was followed by n.

night Those that were present were
well pleased with his direct and thor

is thoroughly at home with his theme
and is one Of the best temperance
lecturers this city has heard. He
spoke last night of the rise and growth
of the temperance sentiment and
showed the strong underlying reasons.
His lecture tonight at 1880 ought to
receive a wide hearing. These lee

On the north bank of the Spokane
river just nine miles west OF the city
OF Occur d'Alene is situated the town
Of Post Falls. The immediate Vicinity
OF Post Falls was settled in 1871,
Frederick Post, who conducted A
grist mill, and sawmill near the site
OF the town. being one Of the first set
tiers. While the country wss set

ment OF Its marvellous resources was

has grown rapidly and can now boast
OF a population of about 900 people,
and each year that passes by will
witness a material increase in its
business, and OF it's population.

On July II. 1908, an election was

at which the proposition for the or

was voted upon and carried, the re-
suit being Independent School Dis

pal, Retta r. Martin, Emellne stod-

day 119 pupils were enrolled. On

the employment OF another teacher,

Much credit is due the board Of

have handled the school problem in

sioners at the time consisted of H.
II. Newhall, George B. Wonnacott,
and John Russell. The two former
were in favor of the removal of the
county seat to Occur d'Alene, but
Russell favored Rathdrum in the
contest. A determined fight was
made by Occur d'Alene and SO warm
ly was it waged that the citizens of
kathdrum guarded the records, in
fear of forcibie removal of them for
a period of three months. The towns
In the northern part of the county
were with Rathdrum in the contro-
versy, and the fight was abandoned
by Occur d'Alene looking to a re-
moVal OF the county seat through the
board of county commissioners, and
then commenced a long and deter
mined fight in the legislature for a
division of the county with the ulti-
mate end in view of establishing the
county seat at Occur d'Alene. either
by legislative act of by an election
after an act had been passed divid-
ing the county.
Battle Renewed.
The battle was again, and success
fully this time, renewed in the ses-
sion Of 1907. A bill was introduced
by Representative Taylor for a divis-
ion Of the county, the northern part
to be konwn as Bonner, and its coun-
ty seat to be Standpoint and the south
ern portion of the county was to be
left the same. with Rathdrum as the
county seat. This bill passed and
became law. In the senate the bill
was passed by the efforts of Senator
McClear.
The people of Occur d'Alene, now
that they had secured q measure
through the legislature dividing the
county. set about to remove the eoun-
" seat from Rathdrum to this city
by an election. The campaign to
this end assumed an active shape IN
the spring of 1908, and all through
The summer and up to election day
he contest was vigorously prosecut-
ID by both sides ending in a sweep
ng victory for this city.

In 1884 the town had 1000 inhabi-
tants and boasted of being larger in
this respect by few people than the
town of Spokane Falls. The county
seat continued to remain at Rath-
drum, the county and judicial bust
ness being transacted there and no
effort was made to remove 1t until
1885. When the county records were
taken to Rathdrum no Official action
for the removal of the county seat
from Occur d'Alene, or the selec-
ton of Rathdrum as the future
county seat was taken by the board
of county commissioners, and It was
on the ground that the board had
never legally established the county
seat at Rathdrum that the people
of Occur d'Alene sought its removal
through the board of county commits
stoners. Although no official action
had been taken selecting Rathdrum
as the county seat, 1t is stated by NJ.

agreed between the commissioners
that Rathdrum was to be the future
county seat. but no minutes of this
agreement were ever made, and
