WORKING FOR
DIVISION BILL
Many koOtensi Valley Citizens Busy
10 All Parts Of County This
Week
FIND FAVORABLE SENTIMENT
Majority Of Taxpayers Of County Are
Indifferent

This week the citizens of nor
thern Bonner county have worked
with might and main for county
division and having exhausted
every possible effort in support of
the measure are now content to
await the action of the Idaho legis-
lature, confident of the fact that
they have done every thing in
their power to insure the winning
of the fight.
The first of the week delega-
ton of Bonners Ferry citizens,
which included A. G. Moore, w.
7. James and Charles O'Callaghan
visited Standpoint for the purpose
of obtaining an idea of the public
sentiment there in regards to
county division. Many prominent
citizens of Standpoint were inter
viewed and the delegation learned
to its satisfaction that only a small
coterie of the Standpoint residents
are strongly opposed to the pro-
posed county division, many favor
county division and the remainder
are Indifferent. The delegation
secured signatures of many promin-
ent residents of Standpoint to a
telegram which read as follows;
Sentiment of Standpoint people is
divided as to county division.
Some opposition and quite a little
support. Great majority entirely
Indifferent.
Delegations from this city were
sent to all parts of the county
Monday and Tuesday. Gene
Symonds and J. w. Reid went to
Hope, Idaho and interviewed
prominent Hope residents as to
their sentiments regarding county
division and found little opposition
to the measure. Mr.. Symonds
and Mr.. Reid secured 10 signatures
of taxpayers to a telegram to
Bonner county representatives in
which favor OF the county division
bill was announced.
A. G. Moore and J. II. Hoag
land visited Clarksfork on a. similar
mission and secured signatures of
six prominent business men to
another favorable message.
C. w. Spoerry and H. A. Gale
spent Monday and Tuesday at
Priest River and Newport. The
gentlemen were authorized at
PriesI River to send a telegram to
the Bonner county Legislators to
the effect that the opposition in
Priest River was not strong and
that nothing more would be said
against the bill. AT Newport a
number of favorable kilograms were
sent in by prominent taxpayers.
Representative Elliott, Senator
Defenbach, S. d. Taylor, George
Gray, F. A. Shultis A. ]. Kent
and w. P. Mahoney have worked
since the opening of the legislature
at Boise for the passage of the
division bill which will make the
new county of Boundary out of
the northern end of Bonner county.
Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Shultis left
Boise last week. The bill was to
have been brought before the
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives last Tuesday but was
delayed until last evening in order
that Standpoint delegation COM
posed of Messrs Culver, Foss and
Thomson might reach Boise in
time to present arguments against
the proposed division. This dele
cation left Standpoint Tuesday
evening and are supposed to have
reached Boise last night.

Jan. 80. 1913.
Dear Editor:
am receiving so many COM
munications both for and against
county division that | find it sbso
lutely impossible to reply to each
Individually. am. therefore,
sending this synopsis of my ideas
on the subject to each of the papers
of the county and trust that the
article will be printed and will be
read by those who take an interest
i'll the matter.
In the first place | desire to
impress upon my constituents the
fact that | am not representative
of any particular part of my county,
but of all of it, and also that my
position as chairman of the Senate
Committee ON County Lines and
Boundaries places unusual restric-
tons upon me. | think even an
opponent of mine will admit that if
am to be on the square | will
look upon the division of Bonner
County just the same as the divi-
sion of any other county i'll the
state.
In the consideration of county
division there is no proper place
for a desire either to promote or
retard the commercial interests of
any particular town. The question
should be decided upon these
three points:
/. Cost of government or taxes.
2. Convenience of the people
to the county seat.
3. Proportionate representation
in the Legislature.
Careful study has convinced
most people that instead of adding
to expenses by reducing the size of
counties, it has actually resulted
in a saving. So much of our
county expenses, especially in a
new and thinly settled state, IS
caused by the long distances
travelled by jurors, witnesses and
the various county officials that
there can be no doubt that a saving
can be affected by reducing those
distances. The second considera-
ton explains itself, and the third
ought to be obvious to anyone.
South Idaho is being rapidly
divided and unless there are some
divisions in the north, our relative
importance in the legislature will
become very small.
One of the great difficulties in
the entire tax problem is the failure
of the people to study into the
question of where their money is
expended. AS an illustration let
us take the case of the Standpoint
taxpayer. Our basis of taxation
is So mills. This means that a
man who has property of an as
sessed valuation of $1,000 or a fnll
value of $500 will pay S5S in
taxes. Now of this amount So
goes to the state, $50 to the run
ming of the town of Standpoint,
$40 to the schools and $40 TO the
county.
Every taxpayer i'll every pre-
cinct in the state ought to figure
this phase of the question out for
himself and commit the table tc
memory. He will be impressed
with these things. If the state
should go out of business entirely
and not ask for a cent of revenu,
it would only cut his taxes S.
If the county were divided anC
thereby the expense of county

0UAIFE TO FACE
SERIOUS CHARGE
Is Alleged To Have Brought Woman
From Canada Here For
immoral Purposes
IN CUSTODY AT STANDPOINT
Will Be Given Hearing Before
Government Officials

Alfred Quaife, "a Canadian and
until recently a resident of Creston,
B. c., is being held in custody by
Sheriff Reemer at Standpoint until
such time as he can be given
hearing before officials of the
Department of Commerce and
Labor on charges of having enter
ed the territory of the United
States in violation of law and of
having assisted in the importing of
an allen woman for immoral pur-
poses. Quaife was given hear
ing before Immigration Officer B,
+. Gowan of PASSPORT in this city
Wednesday evening.
The defendant in the case and
the woman wnom he is alleged to
have have brought from Cauada to
the United States were taken in
charge Tuesday evening by Sheriff
Reemerd an Village Marshal Wor-
ley at the Bonner hotel. The cou-
pie were unprecedented quite by
accident as the officers had entered
the hotel in search of other parties.
The woman she appeared to be
II or 10 years of age and told the
officers she did not know how old
she was-was sitting on bed and
crying passionately when the Off
Gals found her and upon question
ing she told the story which is
is claimed incriminates Quaife.
The woman told that she was
an orphan and was born on the
Use of Man; that she had been
working for family near Creston
for some time for FIVE dollars a
month; that she met Quaife
and became infatuated with him
After a short time she became in
innate with him and when he left
Creston he arranged for her to fol-
low him to this place and promised
to marry her here. The woman
arrived here Tuesday night. At
the boundary line she told the i'm
migration officials that she was
lQuaife's wife and that he was a
section foreman for the Great
Northern Railway company
Quaife did not meet her at the de-
pot but sent man by the name OF
Sullivan to the depot to take her
from the train and bring her to the
Bonner hotel. AT this time Quaife
was working in the restaurant ruu
in connection with the hotel.
Upon the arrival of the woman
Quaife is said to have told her that
his money had been garnisheed
by business man of this place and
that he could not marry her until
he had worked awhile and saved
some money. The girl told
that she had paid her fare from
Creston to this city with money
she had saved with her wages.
The story told by Quaife wa.
quite similar to that of the
woman's. He denied that he had
influenced the woman to come tc
this country for immoral purpose:
and claimed that he was intoxi
Gated when he told her that il
she came to Bonners Ferry he
would marry her. Quaife told the
officers that he would rather marry
the woman than go to Jail but tina
he would not live with her.
The woman in the case ha
aroused the sympathy of the off
Gals who have carried on the in
vestigation, as hers is a pitifu
story of neglect and ignorance
{ She has had no schooling and ha
always lived in out-of-the-wa,
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-01-31

places and has earned her living
from childhood.
If charges of white slavery are
not preferred against Quaife, it is
probable that the government will
order his deportation as we'll as
that of the woman.

Miss Baby's First Christmas.

Don't think about the baby's present
last of all and then rush out and buy
silly toy. Rather give her something
that her mother can keep for her until
she gets old enough to take care Of it
because it came on her first Christmas
day. One of the trifes which can be
indefinitely kept, because it takes up
scarcely any space, is a hanger for
petticoats. This is simply a by IS
inch strip of thin board, padded with
cotton and then covered with heavy
crash or satin hand painted with
Greenaway figures. And If you can't
do this painting with your own hands
there are plenty of young art students
who will gladly do it for dollar. "This
board should hold at least eight hooks.
and if you have plenty Of money-or
affection for your small niece-have
these hooks Of solid silver, that they
may not rust any damp skirt hung
upon them. Having covered the board
and adjusted the hooks. all that is
needed is hanger of broad pink or
blue ribbon, terminating at the fasten-
ing ends with big bowknots.
If the clothes hanger is going to be
too expensive for your purse-or your
affection-send Miss Baby an individ-
ual workbasket. These look positive
