shape of these caps perfectly suits the

not accord well with Latin features.

II Is important that a girl should

big. hideous safety pin. II pins are

IN the right places on collar there will
either be irritating gaps between them

The same thing applies 20 blouses
which fasten down the back. Many a

attention to the arrangement OF the

Business Mems Luncheon

A. M. Harris and E. w. Anderson
were responsible for gathering OF
business men for MONDAY luncheon
at the Northern Hotel Wednesday.
Thirty-fve of the business men Of the
town met, ate, visited and listened to a
few impromptu remarks.
The purpose of gathering was to pro-
mote better acquaintance and fellow
ship among the business men Of the
community, and for an interchange of
ideas on topics regarding the welfare of
the town and surrounding country. So
we'll pleased with the first meeting were
those present that it was decided to
hold regular meetings of this character
at least once month.
E. w. Anderson was selected to take
charge of the next meeting, arrange a
short program to follow the luncheon
and provide topic for general discus
sion.
The MONDAY luncheon is method
adopted by many cities of getting to-
gether their business men for the pro-
motion of the general welfare. Many
progressive movement has been plan
ned and started forward at such gath
erings, and there is no doubt that the
meetings will be a material help in for
warding the prosperity and develop
ment of this section.
1t is hoped that at the next meeting
there will be still more of our citizens
present, ready to join in a movement
that can be of much aid to the whole
community.

NEW COUNC|L'S FIRST SESSION
Protest Entered Against Raising
Official Salaries
Officers and Committees Named

The first regular session of the new
town council was held Tuesday evening,
with Mayor Heslin presiding and all
members present Councilman-elect
George Torreson was sworn into oflce'
making the membership of the council
complete.
Clerk D. M. Shreve was re-appolnted
to his position, and Mayor Heslln de-
clared all other appointive offices vacant.
The application of Joseph Shulthies
to the mayor for appointment as day
marshal was received and ordered placed
on file.
Reports of the street committee on
the installation of three additional
street lights, and report of the commit
tee on improved facilities for drying
hose were received.
The taking up of Ordinance No. l26
for third reading and passage produced
the sensation of the evening. This or
dinance fixes the salaries of town otfl-
GERS for the ensuing term, and raises
the pay of the day and night police to
S75 per month, the town attorney to
$500 per year, and the clerk to $24O.
A. S. Sherlock protested against the
adoption of the ordinance, stating that
he voiced the protest of number Of
citizens and taxpayers. He made a
lengthy statement to the effect that
there were men who would take the
positions of city attorney and policemen
at the salaries paid heretofore, and he
held that under prevailing business
conditions it was the duty of the coun-
Gil to refrain from raising any salaries.
AS to the position of town clerk, he felt
that official deserving of more compen-
sation for the work performed. The
police magistrate, he contended, should
receive fees as provided by law for his
services, instead of a commission or
fines.
On motion of Councilman Harris the
proposed ordinance was ordered re-
referred to the committee on judiciary
and legislation.

BOND RESOLUTION ADOPTED
Commissioners Vote in Favor OF
$4,000 Issue,
Current Expense Fund Statement

The Pend Oreille County Board of
Commissioners was in session Tuesday
for the purpose of taking up the mat
ter of bonding the county to fund the
outstanding warrant Indebtedness.
When the board met it was conf
IDENTIFY expected that special election
would be called to authorize bonding
for the full amount of outstanding war
rants up to Jan. 16, which figured up
to $108, 023.7O. However, these plans
were blasted when Prosecuting Attor-
ney Reading, who was engaged in pre-
pairing the resolution for bonding and
calling the election, discovered a section
of the law which made it impossible to
bond for more than one and one-half
per cent of the assessed valuation of
county.
AS the board has it within it's
power to bond to the limit of one
and one-half per cent, without holding
an election for that purpose, resolu-
ton to bond for that sum was passed,
and the county treasurer was ordered
to advertise for bids on the issue. The
bonds are to bear interest at the rate
of four and one-half per cent, payable
semi annually, and bids will be received
until March 5, 1912. The bonds to bear
date of May l, 1912.
While the board would have preferred
to bond for the whole sum of indebted
ness, in order to cut down the interest
rale from eight to four and one-half pei
cent, the expense of the special election
at this time will be saved, which woulC
have been about $500.
The total Indebtedness of the new
county amounts to only about two ant
three-tenths per cent of the total as
sessable value of the councy, which i
81, 8O2, 7O3, and the limit of indebted
ness is five per cent, or $3.50, 900, on ou
valuation.
