Now Flooded.

The board of county commission
ers acted favorably last week upon
the petition for the Kootenai vally
reclamation project which has for
its object the construction of
ditch and dixie on the Kootenal
river, north of Boomers Ferry,
which will reclaim about 5000 ac-
aes of rich alluvial soil, which is
now being overlooked by the river.

district and elect three commission
ers for the drainage com mission.

result of the forming of the
drainage distatct and the construct
ion of the dixie and ditch proposed.
Charles G. Reeder of Spokane
stated that he he had $50 acres in
the proposed district that the water
Ioverhowed the land in the proposed
district all the way from one TO ten
feet, that the land was worth about
$50 at present for wild hay, while
with reclamation it would be worth
from 800 to $3.50.
Mr.. Reeder stated that as no at
ter of public health the reclamation
would remove o large area of stag
nant water and in that manner a
public benifit would result.
w. B. Hawkins. the Bonners
Ferry banker, and 0. II. Campbell
spoke in favor of the project. One
thousand res of land of Indians
allotment is in the contemplated
district.
The districts description is as
follows: Commencing at point on

TWELVE MORE
WORKING DAYS
Doings of the Idaho Legislature, Not Of
Much Interest
Locally.
SUMMARY OF THIS SESSION
Judge Flynn to be Appointed Judge
For Bonner County.

DOAcCs ODI udi IL. bO lCSAo-
lative session is now drawing to
close and it is possible to estimate,
to fair degree, the work that will
be accomplished by the Eleventh
Session. There remain but twelve
more working days. There are but
a few measures of local Importance
to Bonner County in the Legisla-
ture. The judicial bill is the one
that has attracted the most atten-
ton. 1t is now a pretty well set
tied fact that there will be no divi-
sion of the district; instead OF
division, an additional Judge will
be appointed. Senator Page, see
ing that it was impossible to pre-
vent the passage of such measure
through the Senate, secured the
best concession possible, which was
to the effect that the additional
judge should reside in Standpoint,
thus assuring Court and Chambers
in Bonner County. 1t is generally
conceded here that Judge Flynn,
of Occur d'Alene, will be appointed
District Judge. This is understood
to be the desire of Governor Haw-
ley, and is an end to which Sena-
tor Potts has directed his efforts.
Judge Flynn is law partner of
Senator Potts. While this action
will not be relished by the Demo-
Gratis of Bonner County, yet the
Republican delegation to the Legis-
lature has done everything in
it's power to secure division of
the district, and the Bonner Demo-
Gratis can find no fault with the
Republican mem bers of the Legis-
lature. Judge Flynn's appoint
ment will be looked upon as favor
able to the "wets."
Another measure that seems in a
fair way of going through both
Houses of the Legislature is bond
issue of $25,OOO.OO for an Idaho
Montana wagon road.
The Relief bill for Pete Parker
has been reported on favorably by
the committee on appropriations,
and will no doubt go through.
The greatest surprise of this SEES
sion was the passage of the Rail-
road Commission bill through the
House of Representatives; it car
ried by vote of SO to II. The
vote on this measure is still I'M
certain in the Senate. In the
House, the entire Republican vote
was in its favor, with few excep-
tions, while a number of the Demo-
Gratis spoke and voted in its favor.
Should the Democrats line up
solidly against the bill in the Sen.
ate it Will undoubtedly fail of
passage, as several Republican
senators are known to be opposed
to it. 1t is ger orally understood
that Governor Hawley does not
want the bill to come up to him.
and the Democrats may line up
solidly against 1T to save the Gov
ernor this embarrassment.
The outlook for the passage of a
resolution submitting constitu-
tional amendment to the people on
prohibition is not favorable. While
there is no donbt a majority in
both Houses are favorable to the
resolution, it will require a two
thirds vote to submit the question
to the people, and it is very doubt
full if a two-thirds vote can be
secured.

Two Fast Basketball Games.

Last Saturday evening, before a
large and enthusiastic crowd, the
strong Libby basketball team de-
feated Bonners Ferry in return
game by score of 46 to Z.
The Libby quintet out weigh the
local boys by twenty pounds to the
man, an advantage we'll nigh i'm
possible to overcome. However,
the local boys gamely} fought to
the end, making it a much closer
game than the score would indicate
and forcing the Libby team to
play its best, which is always in
teresting to the spectator.
The Occur d'Alene College
basketball team, Thursday evening
made its initial appearance in this
city, matched against the local
quintet. The teams were about
evenly matched in weight, but the
brilliant shifts and team work of
the visitors playing every minute
under signals, coupled with the in-
accurate basket shooting of our
boys, allowed the College boys to
steadily increase their lead until
they secured 40 points against the
locals %.
Moe was the particular star of
the game, scoring a total Of %
points himself.
