county Auditor and same will be
paid except in cases where the road
overseers have worked out more
than their opportionment. In such
cases some will have to wait un-

The road overseer should keep him
self posted as to the amount of mon
ev he is allowed for work each term
and not to work out any more, for it
works a hardship on the man that
does the work.

NEW COURT HOUSE
UP TO TAXPAYERS
Mass Meeting at Court House Considers Reports of Com
mittee yesterday Taxpayer. Committee
Divided in Their Opinions

AT 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
by a practically unanimous vote
the taxpayers of Latah county in a
mass meeting adopted the report of
the majority of the court house COM
mittee, which shows that a new
court house should be built rather
than repairs made. The report was
adopted after the Crawford Morris
resolution. had been rejected by
vote of three against two for the
plans of repairs it advocated.
With the members of the taxpay-
ers committee divided in their opin-
ion two reports were submitted this
after to meeting of over two hum
dred taxpayers in the court room.
The meeting was called at 2 o'clock
and A. S. Lyons was chosen presi-
dent and ]. Nisbet, secretay. The
court room was packed to the doors
by interested taxpayers.
The split OF the committee occur
red when the majority decided to
show conditions as they existed and
offer the meeting its choice of two
propositions, to bond to build, or to
raise the money necessary for repairs.
A. B. Crawford and Henry Morris
refused to sign the report which gave
the arguments both for and against
the two propositions, that the voters
might decide for themselves, and
offered another, minority report.
Committeeman Laird, who favors
the majority report and Committee
man Martin, Thomas were not present
and did not sign either report. Tho
mas being kept at Kendrick by the
bank reorganization, while Mr.. Laird
was suddenly summoned to Seattle.
The minority report limits itself to
one proposition: To spend mot
more than $40, 900 for vaults, new
Jail and sheriff's office" asks a direct
taxlevy to build the same. Its adop-
ton was moved by Mr.. Crawford. =

opend and we will step in and back
it for every dollar necessary for the
continuance of the same. After
this meeting was closed the doors
were opened and people who were not
depositors were allowed to enter if
they so desired and there was large
number of well to do farmers come
in. The Bank Examiner explained
to them it was necessary to act quick
and that $4,000 had to be raised
for capital stock and papers were
circulated for signers for capital.
The shares were placed at 500 and
sold readily for $3.50 per share.
During the afternoon the capital
stock was all sold and instead of
getting $4,000 they sold $4,000.
and then not all that wanted stock
got it. The meeting was then ad-
journed until Tuesday when the new
stoCk nolderS met and elected officers
and paid for their stock. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: M. V.

OF this country, it will make this in
stitution one of the strongest of its
size IN the state. 1t has not been
stated just when the bank will open
as several matters have to be adjusted
before the new organization can take

Last Thursday morning February
the Kendrick State Bank was closed
by the Bank Examiner. The closing
of this bank cast gloom over the
town of Kendrick and the entire Pot

everything was lost and the citizens
made to lose their hard earned dollars.
During the day, Thursday every one
was at loss as what to do or say.
Friday several of the main depositers
were called together and upon due
consideration it was thought best to
call general meeting of the deposi-
tiers of the closed institution. So
the meeting was called and upon no.
tice of only about forty-eight hours
the farmers who were the principal
depositors in said bank began to ar
rive in Kendrick early Monday morn
ing and by noon the streets were
crowded with over two hundred of
the farmers Of the Potlatch. 1t made
the old timers remark that the town
looked more like old times than it
had for some time past. A great
many suggestions were given as the
best course to follow in the matter so
at the appointed hour for the meeting
the depositors were called to order in
the Fraternal temple and facts exist
ing in the matter was laid before them
and was left up to them to decide as
to whether or not the bank was to
be allowed to be kept closed or to
be reinstated and kept running.

presented over a hundred thousand
of dollars said yes it shall be re-
