WILL DRAIN
KOOTENAI
Drainage District No. S, Carried By
Unanimous Vote Commits
sioners Elected.
REEDER, ELLIOTT AND HAWKINS
The Money Will Be Raised By a
Bond Issue.

On Tuesday, at the residence of
w, w. Ferbrac che, occurred the spe-
cial election to decide the question
Of the formation of drainage dis
trict as previously announced and
advertised along the Kootenai
river, below Bonners Ferry. The
election took place under the order
Of the commissioners of Bonner
county, and called out a large |
majority of the voters eligible to
take part, number coming from
Spokane and other points to cast
their ballots.
The deepest interest was taken
in the proceedings, many of the
people remaining all day. The
Judges of the election were: w. B.
Hawkins, J. G. Parent and Jas. A.
Welch, while o. H. Campbell and
G. ID. Rowell, officiated as clerks.
Seventy-six votes were cast, every
one of which was in favor of organ
izing the drainage district.
For commissioners to have
charge of the work, Chas. g..
Reeder of Spokane, e. e. Elliott of
Moscow and W. B. Hawkins. of
Boomers Ferry we've elected by a
practically unanimous vote. These
three gentIem en- are the largest
land owners in the proposed dis
tfict, and have been active in
getting the project under way,
Very few of those entitled to vote
were absent and most of these were
non-Iesidents. The result of the
vote shows that while there might
be differences of opinion as to the
best methods of retaining the
lands in the district, all were
willing TO undertake the work and
to trust it in the hands of the three
gentlemen elected to supervise the
work.
AS soon as the board is regularly
organized, a competent drainag,
engineer will be employed t.
examine and report on the plans
for recla I'M alton, and the necessary
funds Will he raised by bono
issue. The payments will probably
be extended over twenty years
and this distribution of the ex
Lenses will make the burden mucl
more easily carried by the lan'
owners.
We shall keep the readers of tn
Herald posted as to the progress o
this great improvement, which
means 30 much to Bonners Ferry.
There is every reason to believ
that it will be a success.
The well-known hospitality c
Billy Ferbrache was never bette
displayed than on the day of tn
election. Besides furnishing tn
necessary polling place, fully hal
the voters present attacked tn
dining room at both dinner an
supper, and though not elected I
office, Billy was undou 5tedly tn
most popular man there

FLATS FOR mlLLlonAlsEs.
Philadelphia Press. ]

Luxurious flats for millionaires meet the requirements of prevailing conditions in New York city. Murray Gnggenheim has rented the ninth floor of a new apartment house al Eighty-first street and Fifth avenue, for which he will pay S25.00O year. This is probably the record rental 'or a fiat in the world. Senator Eiihu Root will occupy the tenth floor or the same building. a privilege and ac. commodation which will cost him $20.00O a year. All other flats in the building will bring a uniform annual rental of S20.000 each. This elaborate luxury is a sign of these munificent times. To meet the demands Of an age of enormous wealth, apartment houses are rising in the metropolis which rival in extent the palaces of the Caesars and are fitted with mas nificent elegance that surpasses the most extrayagant dream Of The Arabian Nights while the comforts and conVeniences could not have been commanded by the cmperors or the cast and west or the successors oi Darius on the throne of Persia at the height of their splendOr.

THE SAD CASE
 OE BANKER WALSH.

The case Of John X. Walsh. the aged Chirago banker, who died on Monday within a few hours after his release from tho federal prison at Fort leav. enwoitb is q sad one to those who are more Or less familiar with the cir cumstances culminating in the conyie- ton of Walsh for the violation Of ;he ratioral banking laws.
 That he WIS guilty of their viola ton there was no doubt, but to those who closely followed the case there came the impression that Walsh en- meshed in his various enterprises ot whose successful outcome he enter taiped no doubt was led step by step to ihe commission 3f scts which seemed peoi CT to him.
 Those already familiar with Walsh's record or ,ho had looked uyor Ms Einoiy oil 'ace were tho n"re likely t receive sucl. an impression of nis case. It :sn not Of eonrse Lc sad 'h5. Walsh unIntentionalIy violated tao Iaw, ou we belicse r. may Ie s;id tha. i' was He: his pa. os2 tbst sry one a'otld suffer hr lis via.a ton His ease was slightly different from that of Charles W. Morse and most bankers who in stress have broken the national banking laws and vho have proceeded with deliberate. -ness to do it or eourse. it vas not their purpose that anyone should su:. fer for the suffering Of others would have the certain effect of directing governmental attention to the fact that a crime had Leen committed and which otherwise would pass without discovery
 But it is almost impossible that crimes of this character should es- cape discovery as the long list of bankers now serving terms in prison will attest So tba: the pity which the case Of Walsh excites will more than ever emphasize the rigidi;y with which the laws for the protection Of those who put their faith in banks are enforced Neither wealth. iniiu- ence TOT mitigating circumstances can turn aside the certain punishment Of trausgressors.

LEARN To RE coNrENr

n.
 The secret of coutentnient end hap. piness is for every one to like what they have, end then they are sure to have what they like. Are you dis satisfied or discontented? The only remedy Is to stop finding fault wit your lot in life. and make yourself eontented with it.
 If you are poor, very poor, say, you probably have a good many more blessings than the very rich. Not so much is expected of the poor they are exempt from many respon- abilities which the rich have to face and make good. Poverty ire quently brings on love and friend ship and kindness that the rich know nothing Of.
 True friendship never runs away when poverty knocks at the door, but friends of the wealthy very often turn poor. For happier is she who has to work for her living than she who lives in idle luxury.
 There is nothing more satisfactory than spending money earned by hon est work Everyone should be proud of having work to do. Never mind il at times it seems to be one long drudgery. Look for the bright spots in it. Be thankful that you have work at all. However irksome the daily task may be there Is always some bright spots in it. some new discovery to be made about it.-Am. anda Moore.

WAR ON THE JoY-RlDeR.
Judge Collins of Indianapolis is After The Speed-Fiend and the
 Noissnlaker

Judge James A. Collins of ludianap olis, has declared war on the jOy- riders fie is also the enemy of ths maker of unnecessary noise. In this. the third year of his term as City Judge of Indianapolis, he is making Q record that leads the rest of the United States, in point of justice meted cut to offenders.
 T believe, said Judge Collins, in discussing existing conditions. that the only remedy for the misuse or automobile horns is t3 make the pen alty for their misuse so severe that there will be few second offenses-
 That the ultimate solution of the warning signal problem is restrictive, not prohibiuye, legislation is appar- ent to anyone who has given the sub ject intelligent thought It is the log ical result of the fact that the great est trouble for motorists is made by the actions Of persons under eighteen years of age There should be a rec, ognized warning signal, with harsh. abrupt note, that will be rsr Ognized as a warning uf danger. The law must regulate it's use. This is the solution of the problem.
 T am now mentally framing a laW, the passage of which shall urge at the next meeting or the Indiana legia- lature, which will require every driver of a motoTrcar to take an examination b demonstrate whether or not he has the ability to drive Q car. Such per son is to be given a license ig be passes the examination, and no person shall be granted a license who is un- der IS years of age The driving of motor car in Indiana except by per sons holding a license will, in conse qnence, become a statutory Cifensc. Arrangements will he made whereby the law will not work hardship upon tourists.
 "Furthermore, when any holder Of Q license violates the statute. tho clerk of the court of record where conviction Is obtained will be required to forward notification Of such con yiction to tho secretary of state. Upon receipt of this information the secre- tary of state shall notify the convicted license holder to turn in his license Should he fail to do this, his arrest will follow.
 When ! began my term of office of. feuders against the Automobile Speed law had been accustomed. upon con viction, 10 paying fine Of Sl and costs. made it BIO and costs. and the newspapers roasted me for not making it more. The second year | made if 800 and costs. Beginning inc first Of last January. I made it S25 aiId costs. From the first of January, 1912, ! propose to make the fine $1 a mile and costs if a msn is speeding thirty-five miles an hour he will get thirty-fve dollars and cost, and ac- cording tO that ratio.
 That is the Only way Co handle the speed ard thc antomoiile warning sig. nal problems. If ! find tho fines do not stoli the nuisance so Tar as tho speeding is concerHed, Imprisonment will follow. It makes no difference who the offender is. All will set Inc same trcalhsEt from nc"
 The lns-rider hos tcsn making Ife a burden for ihc dweiiers in the part of Indianapolis residence district where the roads are suitable for Tao- toring. War has been declared on him, and on all makers Of unnecessary noise.

 Considering high prices and all kinds of people we have to support or help. there is no wonder that it is hard for us to make both ends meet. We have just found out through the New York World that in 1Sl6 there were 6327 names on the government payroll, which is one to every 13db population. In 1911 we have Gs0.0Oh, or one to every PAP of the population. Add the army and navy. 1i14 for rep resentatives abroad. 1000 for the em- nloyes of congress and the judiciary and we have a total Of 513,S54. or one for every 130 population. When the members of the group e 130 must not only provide for themselves but aid in the support of the one who lives in better style than any one of his employers, the cost of living is bound to be bit crushing.
