Kootenai Swings Into Line.

Returns from all precincts in
the county, with the exception
of four, where the vote is very

umn by a majority of la. The
outcome there and in Idaho

fuses to observe the laws govern
: ing his business, but there is
reason to believe that the abso.
! lutte prohibition of the sale of
liquor cannot be enforced.
With the entire population of
this county, or the greater part
OF 1t at least, working in harmony
for the enforcement of restrictive
laws governing the handling of
the liquor traffic the evil will be-
come very small but let them
grow lax again as in the past and
it will again become menace.
1t is in the hands of the people
to control the traffic and make it
live up to the laws governing it
but prohibition will not and can
not be successfully enforced.
With well regulated licensed
saloons in operation again those
who feel inclined to take an oc-
casional drink can do so without
sending away to Spokane or Port
land wholesale houses for liquor
or patronizing the "bootlegger"
or hip pocket dispensary. They
will be able to do so without vio-
lating any law and will feel more
honest and honorable in conse-
quence. It does no man good to
be driven to evade a law which
he feels to be unfair and unrea-
sonable and the result of fanata-
cism on the part of his fellow
man.
While the campaign just ended
was shade better than that of
two years ago some bitterness
was engendered in different
places, however, by the over
Jealous on both sides and the
spirit of brotherly love was lost
sight of by some who formerly
proclaimed it loudest. This is to
'e deplored but cannot be pre-
rented.
The dry issue, we believe, will
oe dead one in future in this
ounty and we hope it will be
'uried deep for we know of no
question that will arouse deeper
ceiling, cause more enmity and
hatred, turn brother against
brother and split entire commu-
mites asunder than this same
fallacy. Peace be to its ashes.

Voters Decided Licensed Saloons Were
Better Than Unlicensed Blind
Pigs" and Bootleg Joints.

Local option was dealt a bod,
blow in Idaho county last Wed
nesday when the county wen
back into the wet" column
again by a vote of about $50
making a change of nearly 6O(
in the vote as compared with that
OF two years ago. It was a com.
plete reversal of the vote of two
years ago and showed plainly
that the people of the county in
the districts where liquor has
been sold in the past were not
satisfied with the workings of
the local option law. Down along
the Clearwater and on the reser-
vatlon, where liquor has never
been much of a menace at any
time, the dry vote was about the
same as that of two years ago,
but in the incorporated towns
and in the mountain districts
where saloons were running at
the time the local option law
went into effect the sentiment
showed a marked change and the
wet" majorities were much
heavier than in the last election.
People who were in daily touch
with "bootlegging" and it's at
tendant unpleasantness soon saw
that the local option law was one
that would not correct what it was
intended to correct and that it
could not be successfully enforc-
ed, so they were willing to go
back to licensed saloons, hoping
that the two years trial of local
option would perhaps result in a
better regulated and more re-
stricted saloon than this county
has had in the past. And in this
they will not be mistaken. Many
of the best citizens of the county
have gone on record within the
past few weeks favoring a strict
regulation of the saloons and it ,
safe to say that they will use
Fendeavor to see that proper
egN Tive ordinances are passed {
and the saloons be made to con-
duct their business strictly ac- {
cording to these laws. There is
no reason why strict regulative
laws cannot be enforced, where
the license of the dealer is placed !

Bought A Fine Farm.

A deal was completed yester-
day whereby Anthony Ross, Of
Greencreek, purchased the old
Fred Mertes farm north of town
from J. B. Crawford, of Palouse,
WASH, for $500, or $50 an acre.
The place contains 160 acres of
land and is one Of the best in
this vicinity. Practically all Of
the land is tillable and $50 acres
of it was summerfallowed this
year and is now sown to fall
grain. This crop was purchased
by Mr.. Ross from r. s. Curless.
who had the farm leased subject
to sale. The farm is well water
ed, has a good two story house
on it, a fair barn, small orchard
of young trees, is well fenced
and the soil is first class. The
farm lies about half way be-
tween this place and Ferdinand.
with good roads to both towns,
and is less than five miles from
either town. The rural mail
route passes it on the east and q
public school is located within a
mile of the farm. The location
is an ideal one for a farm home
and Mr.. Ross has made no bad
deal in purchasing it. We would
not be surprised to see this farm
worth from 800 to $1O0 an acre
within the next five years.
