whereby the general manager OF
the company can tell at a glance
where the supplies were used and
what they were used for, whether
the price paid was fair price and
how much it costs to run the insti-

inmates or the number of officers.
Under Governor elect Haines
administration there will not be
any new Offices created excepting
a few commissions which are ne

1t is possible that the Legislature
will be requested to be as economi

many that the number of employees
around the legislature could be
lessened and that the printing bills
could be in a measure cut down

BONNERS LOOKS
GOOD TO HIM
W. A. Alexander Tells of Observations
Made in and About Phoenix,
Ariz., This Fall
LAND PRICES ARE VERY HIGH
Cost Of Clearing Sage Brush and Dig
ging bitches Expensive

In a letter received this week by
one of his friends, w. A. Alexan-
der, who is spending the winter III
the vicinity of Phoenix, Ariz.,
writes that the Kootenai valley
never looked so good to me as
since / came here. We have met
many mighty nice people and are
enjoying ourselves immensely, but
we will be more than glad when
the time comes to go back to Bon
ners Ferry"
Mr.. Alexander states in his let
ter that the Arizona weather is
ideal in the daytime but at night 1t
is cold and damp, although it is
not cold enough to kill the harder
vegetation. He says, there are
great many people coming here
and the prices for real estate are
high. A great deal of the land is
being held by spectators and so is
not being cultivated. About the
only ones who seem to be making
money are those who are engaged
in the dairyipg business, for they
can cut from seven TO eight tons of
alfalfa to the acre. There are a
number of orange and grape fruit
orchards in this vicinity and these
orchards are said to yield good
profits, but the area suitable for
such fruit is limited.
IF we could get the same class
= of people to come to the Kootenai
valley that are coming to this state
l the Kootenai valley would bea
this country in every way.
Y mean by that, people with none,
who are willing to spend it i'm
= proving their land The land il
i the Kootenai valley would no
cost them as much for cultivation
as it does here either. 1t cost
from S25 to 500 per acreto take o.
d the sage brush on level land an
e then they have to dig bitches fc

a 500 per acre and it is not nearl
ID as fertile as our land at home.

BONNER COUNTY
Business Men and Citizens Of KootenAt
Valley Start Movement
Monday Evening
MANY ARE SIGNING PETITION
Proposed New County viii Be Called
Valley" County

A movement to secure the divi-
sion of Bonner county was started
among a number of representative
citizens of Bonners Ferry and the
north end of the county and actual
working plans to secure the coveted
division was discussed and adopted
at a largely attended meeting OF
the Kootenai Valley commercial
club at A. J. Kent's office Monday
night.
The Monday night meeting was
attended by some IS leading bust
ness men and citizens of this dis
trict. Representatives from Cope
land and Porthill were also III at
tendance. All phases of the advisa-
bility of trying to secure the divi-
sion of Bonner county were dis
cussed by each one at the meeting
and the proposition was given the
unanimous and hearty support OF
the members of the commercial
club.
The only question upon which
there was any particular discussion
was that of the boundaries OF thu
proposed new county. The boun
Diary question was finally left to
committee composed of w. P. Ma
honey, T. J. Jones and Charlie
O'Callaghan and it was determine
To the entire satisfaction of the as
semhlage that the petition to tn

MANY USING
PARCELS POST
John R. Wiley Sends First Package
From Local Office Under
New System
TRANSPORTATION IS PROBLEM


The new parcels post system
went into effect in all of Uncle
Sam several thousand post offices
Wednesday morning and from
reports from over the United States
it seems that the new institution
will meet all the expectations of
government officials although the
task of providing means of trans
portation and facilities for handling
parcels post packages is one that
will tax the ingenuity of postal
authorities for some time to come.
The first parcels post package to
be sent out from the Bonners Ferry
postoffice was taken New Years
day. John R. Wiley was the
consignor and sent a two pound
package to Hillsboro, Ill. The
mailing of the package cost him
FL cents. Under the old system it
would have cost Mr.. Wiley 80 cents
to send the package the same
distance.
Many Boomers Ferry people have
made use of the parcels post system
the past two days and Postmaster
James looks for a steady increase
in this department of the local
Office.
Beginning early Wednesday
morning reports came of freak
shipments in the new post. They
consisted of everything from pitch
forks and prunes to paving blocks
and poultry. Under the regula
toni, practically every class o
merchandise is mailable by parcels
posts.
1t became evident to postal Off
cials early in the day that some
difficulties, more or less serious
were to be encountered in the
incipient stages of the operation o
the new system. From every cit
came reports that many package
bore ordinary postage stamps in
stead of the distinctive parcels pos
: stamps. Under the law such par
cells have to be held for lack c
proper postage,
The business of the past tw
DAYS indicates that the volume {
= traffic ON ordinary business day
will be tremendous.
ia How the matter is to be trans
az ported by the railroads is a seriot
: question. Within a few days
e. has become apparent that the raj
n roads generally have not sufficiel
Il equipment ready to handle a vast
Il increased weight of mail.
tn Generally, no delay in the deli
he cry of parcels is expected, as e
he traordinary measures have be-
he taken to provide service. 1t ;
k ready seems certain that the ne
w. system will be utilized extensive
by department stores and me
ats chants generally for the delivery
.rd local packages.

is advising with leading republi-
cans relative to urging the legisla-
ture TO enact laws which Will be
beneficial to the state regarding
the limit to be placed upon the
levy which can be placed against
the assessed valuation of the state.
In this connection the incoming
executive is also devising ways
and means of lessening the expen-
diture of the money of the state
and at the same time providing an |
efficient working force to carry out
the business of the state. 1t is
the purpose of the new admins
tration to use economy i'll every
part of the state government and
to lower the tax rate. 1t Isl
thought by doing this more out
side capital will be invested in
Idaho.
The first thing which is being
considered is the retrenchment OF
the expenses of the different
branches of the executive depart
ment of the government. In or
der to do this there will be plans
for a reorganization of the different
departments along business lines.
Bv the new method it is expected
to install modern system into the
business of the state and cut down
: the number of employees in the
state house. One of the depart
ments which will in all likelihood
be reorganized is the state land de-
partment. 1t is thought that 1t
will be put upon business basis
and that the work can be done
= with a less number of employees
In all other subdivisions OF the ex'
= ecutive department of the govern
ment the same reorganization is &c
be made.

this is taking his first step towarC

The Fascinating Damon"

The damon" which is the universal
Cuban dance. is the oldest. most indie
scribable of dances. at first the least
inviting, at last the most insidiously
fascinating. Long before turkeys trot-
ted or bunnies Rugged in our land. in
Havana they walked through dances.
But you can dance the damon" all
night on three feet square of floor. A
crowded ballroom is almost motonless:
a few steps, queer shiver that runs
down the body. rest, then a few
steps again-so hundreds Of couples go
on for hours. 1t would be fnexplicable
but for the music, the music that seems
hideous at first. but ends by pulsating
your very blood with some strange
magic. 1t seems forever losing its
rhythm, dropping its beats. while at
times the barbaric rafting and din OF
crashing gourds wholly browns the
monotonous melody. There is very
little that seems Spanish in the dan
zon" music: 1t hints rather at Africa
and transplanted voodoo rites In the

The Dread of Death.

Granted that it is the will Of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread Of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled. The
dread Of death is to the soul what the
law Of gravity is to the body. 1t an
chors us to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe half mankind would be driv-
Ell by curiosity, by the love Of change,
by the dread Of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond. Children and few very hap
by and easily pleased people might
perhaps say they would not explore
farther and that they were perfectly
content with things as they are.-St.

A Wesley knecdote.

It is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed. and on one
occasion at a conference he became so
irritated at the prolix remarks OF
speaker that he said to his brother:
stop that mans speaking. Let US
attend to business"
But the offender was relating his re-
ligious experience, and. though 1t was
at so great length, John Wesley evil
IDENTIFY thought that no one had right
to interfere with it. He was therefore
allowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him
self no longer
UNLESS he stops" he whispered to
John. I'll leave the conference"
By this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story. and he only turned
and whispered to some one sitting
near:
Reach Charles his hat"
