Destroying Weeds.

A good system of rotation, that in
cludes cultivated crops, offers the
best means OF combating the COM
mon weeds but it's success is almost
entirely dependent upon the manner
and persistency with which the soil
is cultivated. To insure reasonable
success, the disk and the harrow
should be used frequently while the
weeds are still small, and the crops
while growing should be given fire.
quent cultivation.
Fortunately, the same tillaGe opera
tons that are used in putting the soil
in a condition to receive and conserve
rainfall, to prepare the seed-bed and
to liberate plant food, are likewise
useful In combating weeds.

Edgar A. Brown Takes His Life on S.

Afternoon
no MOTIVE FOR RASH DEED
Only Son of Aged Parents --Will Be
Buried Today

Edgar A. Brown, customs
broker of Edmonton, Alberta,
committed suicide Sunday after
noon on the rear platform of the
westbound Spokane International
train soon after it passed the
Moyie Springs station. His body
was not discovered until the train
pulled into the, Boomers Ferry
station and he lived only a few
minutes after being taken into the
station. Before ne passed away
Brown told bystanders that he had
first shot himself through the right
temple with 80 caliber revolver
and that to make death certain he
had slashed his throat with his
pocketknife.
No one on the train heard the
bullet shot that resulted in Brown s
death. He gave no one any in
timation that he had planned
committing the rash deed although
he asked the conductor of the train
what was the next station after
Moyie Springs.
The bullet entered Brown S
head just below the right eye and
passed out just above the left eye.
A small pocket knife and very dull
was used on his throat cutting a
cash about -four inches long.
A bank book on the Imperial
Bank of Canada was the only
means of Identification of Brown
He had $773 in currency on his
person and wore a diamond rims
valued at $3.50 or $500 and a fine
gold watch.

evening from Edmonton to max,

body of Brown. Senior claimed
to have no knowledge of a motiv,

and justice to the taxpayers, would
prefer to see the whole matter re-
ferred to a small coterie of Sand
point citizens where the interests
of the taxpayers would be guarded
to a fragile.
This is not unlike any other
proposition proposed. 1t is to be
expected that some will oppose
and there are always few men
who are willing to sell their birth
right for a mess of pottage and
play traitor to their own interests
and their community, but FORUM
ately this element can be numbered
on the fingers of one hand.
All good citizens take news
papers and read them, and to a
great extent depend upon them for
information and facts, but do we
always get it, and are they con-
scientious and consistent in their
process of molding public opinion
and sentiment concerning the
things that interest the people as
whole?
Is it consistent to tell the people

choicest language of the high char
acter and ability of Byron S. De-

next breath make the vilest insinu-
ations' Can the character and
unquestioned ability of Mr.. De-
fenbach change in so short a time,
or are the newspapers taking adj
vantage of the confidence of the
people and trying to mislead theml
We believe that it is the opinion
of every unbiased, fair minded man
that the attitude of Mr.. Defenbach
concerning County Division is in
response to high sense of right
and justice to the people as a
whole of our county and state.
We are farmers and are now
paying taxes on three thousand
acres of valuable lands in addition
to twenty thousand dollars worth
of other property and expect to
continue to pay ON this much pro-
perty or more indefinitely. We
are in close touch with and know
the sentiment of the farmers in
general in the proposed new county

DIVISION BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Efforts Of Conner and Farmin To Kill
Bill Are Of No Avail---Up
to Senate
EXPECT CLEAR SAILING IN SENATE
Fate Of Bonner County Division Bill
viii Soon Be Known

Boise. Ida. Feb. IA (SpeciaD--
The House bill calling for the
creation Of Boundary county from
the north end of Bonner county
was reported out favorably by the
committee on county lines and
boundaries Wednesday afternoon
with the report signed by five of
the seven members of the commit
tee. The bill passed the House by
a vote of IA to AZ. 1t will go into
the hands of the Senate committee
today and will probably be reported
upon Monday. All reports from
Boise indicate that the bill will have
no opposition in the Senate.
The news of the passage of the
county division bill in the House
was received here Yesterday and
caused great satisfaction to all
those who heard of the second vic
tory won by county divisionists.
Everyone is wearing smile that
won't come off.
When the report of the commit
tee was made Conner of Standpoint
tried to secure definite postpone
ment of its further consideration.
Farmin spoke in an effort to kill
the bill while Elliott lead the debate
for its life. 1t is the common
rumor that Senator Defenbach
made a neat speech in the house
for the passage of the bill.
The opponents of the measure
made their fight on the statement
that no expression has been obtain
ed from the people of the county
relative to its division, and they
told of letters and kilograms they
have received protesting against
any division.
Elliott in reply exhibited petit
ton asking for division which he
said was signed by more people in
the section it is proposed to cut off
than there were votes cast for gov
ernor at the last election. He
charged that the -diVisionists
had made Misrepresentation in
securing names to their petitions
and that some of the names affixed
to the kilograms received by Con-
ner had been forged.
Conner promptly denied Elliott S
charge and made a similar counter
charge against the divisionists.
Finke of Nez Perez suggested that
the laundry work be done at home,
and the roll was called. The re-
suit was IA to as against Conner S
motion, and the report was adopt
ed without further opposition.
Adams of Lincoln, a member OF
the committee, submitted a minor
report proposing to amend the bill
so that the question of division
should be submitted to the votes OF
the district to be cut off.
