Boy Is Taxidermist

The taxidermy work of Fred
Stoos, high school student fifteen
years old, which has been dis
played from time to time in the
windows of the Rosebaugh post
Office store, has been attracting a
great deal of attention. The most
perfect piece of work performed by
Stoos is the mount of a Chinese
pheasant now on display. The
bird was found in a crippled
condition some time ago i'll a field
near town. An effort was made to
keep it alive but in vain. Young
Stoos has picked up his knowledge
of taxidermy at odd times and has
become so much of an expert that
he is busy most of the time now
filling orders for customers.

HOPE EDITOR DEFENDS SENATOR
New Paper Does Not Favor Policies Of
Standpoint Papers Fair to Defenbach

The Hope Herald, Bonner
county's youngest newspaper,
broke into the county division
fight in its last weeks issue with
neat little defense of Senator De-
fenbach who has been so bitterly
attacked by the Northern Idaho
News because he saw fit to work
for the passage of the Boundary
county bill. The Hope paper has
the following to say:
The Standpoint papers are bel
laying" Senator Defenbach because
he favors the division of Bonner
county. They insist that in this
he is working against the interests
of his constituency. specially
against his home town, Standpoint;
and some things are insinuated
that antedate the primary that
nominated him.
On the other hand, the senator
claims that he represents the entire
county and that his attitude is
what he considers in accord with
the sentiment and the best interests
of the county. And he vigorously
resents all insinuations.
1t would seem fair to allow Mr..
Defenbach some latitude for the
exercise of his own judgment asito
what the people of the county
want, since no formal expression
on the question has been taken;
also to grant him the right of
thinking a little on his own &C
count as to what is best in the
matter for all concerned, and to
discuss the proposition on its own
merits rather than impugning the
motives of a man of the peoples
choice as their representative. 1t
is unfortunate for any measure
when in advocacy for or against it
men and motives rather than the
measure itself must be whipped
into the lineup. ~

CHARGE OF THEFT IS DISMISSED
c. B. Bartron, Arrested For Theft, Re-
leased By Justice Wade

c. B. Bartron, who was arrested
last Saturday on the charge of hav-
ing stolen clothes from the Abram
stock Of goods, and who was to
have had a preliminary hearing
before Justice of Peace Wade
Wednesday morning, was given
his freedom on account of the non
appearance of the states prosecu-

is claimed that Bartron had three
rings on his person which were
identified as being a part of the
stock of the Abram store. The
Abram store is in the hands of o.
H. Campbell, representing the
Spokane Merchants association.
Bartron swore that others were
concerned in taking goods from
the store but no evidence to sub

found. Bartron is a cook and had
arranged to lease the building in
which the Abram stock is now

$4,000 FOR FEDERAL BUILDING
Standpoint In Line For Nice Plum From
Government Work of French

Dispatches received last week
from Washington d. c. brought
the news that the house of repre-
sentatives had passed the public
building omnibus bill which con-
tanned an appropriation of $40, 900
for the construction of federal
building in Standpoint. Twin
Falls also received a similar appro-
priation of SIS, 900.
If the appropriation becomes inn
mediately available it is likely the
work of construction upon the
building will be under way in a
year OF two. If the appropriation
provides when funds are avail
able" it will be a longer length of
time before actual work on the
building will be under way.
The new federal building would
house the postoffice and local
forestry bureau.

TEAM SCARED BY ST.. TRAIN
Peter Anderson Victim of Serious
Runaway Accident Last Saturday

Peter Anderson had his left ear
torn off and sustained a number of
severe bruises about the face and
body last Saturday in a runaway
accident which occurred between
the Cleghorn and Owen ranches on
the Curley Creek road.
Mr.. Anderson's team of horses
became frightened by the passing
of a Spokane International train
and plunging off the side of the
road hurled the bobsled and its
occupant over the side of the
enbankment. The team broke
away from the sled and continued
their wild rua down the road and
were finally stopped in the Camp
bell gulch some three miles from
the scene of the accident.

The Isnstook basketball team OF
this city defeated the local high
school team in fast, rough game
last Saturday night on Kent's floor
by score of SO to IS. The larg-
est crowd of the season witnessed
the game and the excitement was
greater than at any previous game.
Both teams had supporters the
high school running favorite.
The first half of the game was
rather one-sided. the town team
playing too high for the school
team. The score was 20 to 6. The
second half was holly contested,

strong and holding their heavier
opponents to field goals. The
half ended II to 9. The Ianetook

DIVISION BILL
STILL IN SENATE
Expecting Report of Action On Bound.
airy County Division Bill Every
Day Now
SUSPENSE SOON TO Be OVER
Divisionists Seem Likely To Be the
Final Winners

The past week has been one
which has taught the meaning of
the phrase, the anxious seat to
many citizens of northern Bonner
county who have worked long and
hard for county division. News
telling of the passage or the killing
of Elliott's house bill No 4S pro-
viding for the creation of Bound
airy county from the northern por-
ton of Bonner county has been
looked for each succeeding day.
The delay in securing final ac-
ton of the senate on the bill has
caused some divisionists to give up
hope of the successful outcome of
the measure while the more opti-
mistic are endeav oring to laugh
away all fears that the bill will be
slde-tracked.
Occasionally during the past
week cheering news has been re-
ceived from those at Boise who are
working for the creation of Bound
airy county. Word was received
Monday to the effect that it was
assured that the county division
bill would pass the senate by a
majority of FIVE or six. Standpoint
opponents to the bill are making
the most of the delay and are
sparing no effort to obtain the de-
feat of the bill. A hopeful sign
for the Boundary county bill is the
fact that the Standpoint people at
Boise who are lobbying against the
passage of the measure are making
no pronounced claim that the vic
tory is theirs. At the time of
going to press it would seem that
the odds were in favor of the pass
age of the Boundary county bill.
AT any rate. before the next issue
of the Herald, the bill will have
been killed or have been passed
and the fight put up by the people
of Northern Bonner county for
their right to come into govern
ment of themselves and for them
selves will be matter of history.

This week, L. M. Parker, acting
for the Ross Investment company
of Spokane, purchased of the local
Odd Fellow lodge its two 25-foot
lots on Main street for considera-
ton of SIPS per front foot. The
deal was made through George

the I. o. o. F. and to erect two
story brick building on this ground
and on the rs feet of frontage
owned by the Idaho Meat COM
pany. The company plan will be
changed so as to provide for the
erection of two story brick build
ing on Main street which will have
a frontage of rs feet.
Definite plans for the new build
ing which is to be erected early in

it is certain that a full basement
will be constructed and that the
first floor will be divided into two
large store rooms which are to
have a depth of 120 feet. The
second story may be utilized for a
theater and dance floor combined.
The Odd Fellow lodge has no
definite building plans in view.
Some members of the lodge favor
the buying of another lot out a

INDICATIONS SIGNIFY REUNION
Amalsamation Of the Republican and
Progressive Parties Still Predicted

Washington, d. c. Feb. 25.--
Signs of resuscitation on the part
of the Republican party are now
clearly visible. Republicans in
Congress who did not work har-
moniously in the last campaign
are getting together. The breach
between the factions is closing,
and there is promise of a reunited
party by next fall. This is not a
forecast, but a statement of a CON
dition which is rapidly becoming
apparent. The statements issued
recently by Senator Root of New
York, and Senator Crane of Massa-
chusetts, as suggested by Hadley,
Borah, Cummins and other pro-
gressives, favoring the calling of a
national convention later in the
year, at which certain important
causes of past dissension we're to
be considered and remedied, is the
latest evidence of the development
of the harmony movement.
Only four Senators scoffed at
the harmony plan, namely; Dixon,
Montana; Bristow, Kansas; Clapp,
Minnesota and Poindexter,
Washington. Dixon is chairman
of the Progressive national COM
mittee, but ceases to be a senator
on March 4th. But such pro-
gressive Republicans as Borah,
LaFolette, Kenyon, and others
indorse the movement
Senator Borah was especially
pleased with the developments of
the harmony movement, and said
that his state would continue to
stay Republican. Borah favored
the nomination of Col. Roosevelt
at Chicago, but refused to follow
him in his bolt.
For a week or ten days now, the
Republicans, conservatives and
radicals, have been working to-
gether in the Senate in a most
astonishing state of good nature
and good will. The new steering
committee of the Senate consists of
Senators Root, Smoot, and Oliver
conservatives, and Cummins and
LaFollette, radicals, and these men
have been getting along in entire
harmony. The program they
adopted for the remainder of the
session contained four progressive
measures which LaFollette has
been urging and one of which
Crawford, of North Dakota, an
other radical, is the author. One
of these measures provides for the
physical valuation of railroads,
which the interstate commerce
committee has favorably reported,
and which LaFollette has been adj
vocating for many years.
1t is not the purpose of the mer
who are working for harmony tc
be hasty. They expect to hear
from the country and measure the
sentiment in favor of reorganiza'
ton along the lines indicated be
fore such a convention as is pro.
posed is called.

WOULD CREATE
A NEW STATE
Washington State Legislature To Vote
On Memorial Asking For Cres
ton Of Lincoln" State
WILL ASK IDAHO SOLONS TO ACT
Takes Ia Four Idaho and Ten Wash
ington Counties

Definite action is to be taken by
the Legislators of the State of
Washington towards the creation
of a new state to be composed OF
ten eastern counties of Washing
ton, four northern counties of
Idaho and four western counties
of Montana. Senator Hutchinson
of Spokane county, Washington,
has prepared a memorial to Con
gress in which the proposed crea-
ton of the new state which is 10
be called Lincoln" is asked and
this memorial is to be introduced
by him in the Washington legisla-
ture.
The new state idea is meeting
with general favor and the com
mercial clubs of northern Idaho
are being urged to petition their
representatives in the Idaho legis-
lature to work for the new state
memorial. Several clubs have al
ready petitioned the Idaho legisla-
tors in regard to having the pro-
posed memorial passed.
In a recent interview given out
by Senator Hutchinson in Spokane
he has the following to say in re-
gard to the creation of the new
state:
To establish the proposed new
state the consent of both Washing
ton and Idaho legislatures will be
necessary before an enabling act
can be passed. l believe the pass
age of memorials by the two legis-
latures would give the legal con-
sent and render necessary only
favorable action by congress.
The new state, if it is estab-
lished, will be the richest in the
Union, said Senator Hutchinson.
While it will be the part of con-
gress to designate the temporary
location of the capital, Spokane
certainly would be in a position to
achieve this honor. | am intro
ducing the memorial at the request
of numerous persons, including
several from Idaho.
The memorial will set forth the
common interest at present exist
ing between Washington and nor
thern Idaho, and the lack of unity
of interest between eastern Wash
ington and western Washington,
in the one case, and northern Ida
no and southern Idaho, in the
other.
While for many years agitation
for the creation of state such as
the one proposed has been recurr-
ing, events of the present session
of both the Washington and Idaho
legislatures have demonstrated
more clearly than ever the diver
gencies of interest between the
various sections of the two states
and l believe the time is now ripe
for definite and successful action. "
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 26-The con-
tinued friction between the legis-
lators of the northern and southern
sections of the state has caused the
growing resentment of the north
ern representatives towards the
southern to take definite form and
a memorial is in course of prepare
ton for introduction in the house
asking congress to organize the
new state of Lincoln, to be made
up of the northern sections of Ida
no and Washington.
The memorial will be in effect
the same as that introduced in the

Another reason is that planting will
probably be pretty late this spring.
because Sc little plowing Mas done In
the fall. The big crops that had to
be handled. the scarcity and great ex-
pense of help. and early rains and
SHOWS all delayed the fall work. I do
not think there ever was a fall when
the farmers did so little blowing as
they did In the fall of 1912. Wheat
cannot be planted SO early as corn,
and for that. reason corn must be
Eplanted largely in the place of wheat,
II the sowing is very late. Whether
the sowing is. extremely late or not
depends largely on the earlincss or
latencss Of the. spring: 4 very early
plowing in the fall. The cheapness
OF oats, fax and other small grains
will, I believe, encourage the planting
of corn. for corn can readily be turned
into beef and milk, which bring good
prices.
Farmers Will be Puzzled.
North of the corn belt I am afraid
the farmers will be rather puzzled as
to what to plant next spring. I sup
pose. it the spring.is early. they will
plant all the wheat they think they
can safely put in. but II the aso Is

farmers north of the corn belt put in

There is much new land UP there. and
