Misconduct in Office"
CHARGES SIMMER TO NOTHING
Prosecution Wins Many Friends For
Accused Officials

The many warm friends of d. G.
McColl, of Moravia, county COM
missioner of the third district, were
glad to hear this week of his ac-
quittal in the district court of the
charge preferred against him
through the efforts of political en-
emies on the charge of misconduct
in office. The jury in the case had
scarcely left the courtroom before
they returned with a verdict of
not guilty" this verdict being
rendered i'll spite of the strongest
efforts having been made by the
State to convict.
McColl was charged with selling
S299.o5 worth of goods, including
powder and fuse, from his store at
Moravia to Joe Hudon, a road ov-
erseer in charge of the construction
OF the Addie- Passport road work
that was being done jointly by
Bonner county and the forest SER
vice. He was also accused of SELL
ing some $50 worth of goods to
Ole Laselle, road overseer of dis
trict IL. The testimony was to the
effect that when McColl sold the
goods to Hudon it was understood
that they were for Hudon's use in
running boarding camp. Later
Hudon claimed that the county
was operating the boarding camp
and presented his bills to the coun-
ty, the county commissioners al
lowing the same. With regard to
the purchase by Laselle, McColl
stated on the stand that he had no
knowledge of them till they were
presented as claims to the com
missioners.
County Commissioners Mage, of
the first district. was tried last
week on similar charge to that of
McColl's and was acquitted last
Friday. Mr.. Nagel, like Mr.. Nc
Coll, is man whom no one. not
maliciously inclined, would even
suspect of any act of dishonesty.
He was accused of allowing a bill
of sos. go for road work rendered
by the Alpine Land and Orchard
company, of which he is president
and stakeholder. This transaction
was admitted by the defendant,
but the work was declared to be
emergency work done under orders
by the road overseer, who hired
teams and men from the Alpine
Land and Orchard company with
out the knowledge of the defend
ant, who first knew of the fact
when the bill was presented for his
o. K. as county commissioner.

Governor Haines has appointed
100 farmers of the state as dele.
gates to the Farmers National
Congress which will convene in its
34th session at Fort Worth, Texas,
on October IA, IS and 10. NAL
com Bruce, G. S. Collins, and
Henry Hoagland of this district
have been named by the governor
as delegates. The list includes
many men of prominence in this
state, particularly agriculturists
and farmers actually engaged in
the occupation of farming. This
organization has for its object the
consideration and discussion and of
finally the enactment into law by
congress of any and all questions
of national import and character
which go to make up better citi-
zenship, effect for good the farms,
schools and homes of every COM
monwealth in the union, which
will give to the country a more
stable government, more equitable
laws, give to the children o better
and more efficient education, make
happier homes, build a better and
more progressive citizenship, and
make this country a better place in
which to live.

vision and has pledged his support.
George w. York OF Standpoint.
who will doubtless take . leading
part in the session, comes out
strongly in our favor. If this en-
tire delegation is elected, as they
will be, we are assured of a strong
working force in both houses and
the practical assurance of our
new county.
OF all the nominees on the other
party tickets we cannot be so sure,
even if there were any chance for
their election. 1t may reasonably
be assumed that the local demo-
cratic nominees for the legislative
ticket would. do everything in their
power for county division, but
members of minority party al
ways labor under a serious handi-
cap. VI the attitude OF the other
two members on the democratic
ticket, nothing is known. The
same may be said of all the social
ist nominees. Rev. Henderson,
who accepted a place on the pro-
gressive ticket for representative,
would doubtless do us good service
if his party were in the ascendency,
but neither of his associates, H. M.
Sanborn or O. c. Granger, have
made any declaration as to their
position.
Under the circumstances it GER
tainly would appeal to the advo-
Gates of county division that the
fulfllment of their hopes rests al
most entirely with the election of
the entire republican delegation to
the legislature.

VOTE RIGHT;
GET DIVISION
Il 10 Essential That Republican Mem
bers Of the State Legislature Are
Elected in November
ELLIOTT'S EXPERIENCE VALUABLE
All Republican Nominees Are Favor
ing County Division

There is one question that over
shadows all others, so far as the
people of northern Bonner county
are concerned, and this is the issue
of county division. Outside of the
territory proposed to be cut off
there is not the same degree of in
terest shown, but so far as the en-
tire county is concerned the situa-
ton appears quite favorable for di-
vision. 1t is true that in some
sections the attitude is one of in
difference and possibly there are
few places where opposition might
be discovered, but upon the whole
it is evident that the wishes of the
people who live within the water
shed of the Kootenai are looked
npon as reasonable and just and
the new county will become a
reality.
The creation of a new county
can only be done by an act of the
legislature, and the establishment
of Boundary county consequently
becomes political issue. 1t is
quite likely that several other de-
mands for division will be pressed
on the legislature at the coming
session and the whole trend of leg
islation may be affected by these
contests. 1t is certainly vital to
the interests of the advocates of
Boundary county to be sure of a
favorable delegation to Boise this
winter and it may not be out of
place to remark that any aspirant
for Legislative honors from Bonner
county will have a sorry show for
election were il known that he was
opposed to division. So far, many
of the candidates on the tickets of
the various parties have given their
assent to this program and it is
only necessary to select those most
competent to carry out the plan.
From all indications the republican
party will have an overwhelming
majority in both houses, as was the
case two years ago and members of
this party would be far more infu-
entail in securing division than
those connected with any minority
party.
Fortunately the makeup of the
republican ticket this year is very
strong one and will present a unit
ed front on this most important
issue.
For senator we have +. +. Elliott
who introduced the bill for division
at the last session of the legislature,
carried it through the house by a
two to one vote and, in the face of
determined lineup in the senate,
only lacked two votes of winning
out in that body. If there were no
other considerations favoring his
election Representative Elliott
should be remembered for the
strong fight which he put up two
years ago. His experience in
handling this fight and his ac-
quaintance with old members of
the legislature will give him a de-
cided advantage over any candidate
who aspires to go the senate from
Bonner county this year.
OF the candidates for the lower
house we have a strong divisionist
i'll II. B. CARAT, our local nomi-
nee, who is farmer and taxpayer
and may be counted on to make
this the one issue of importance.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Europe Awaits Our March Guess.

Chicago, March 4.-Wheat behaves
true to March traditions and the pecul-
lar continental influences which stay
the European wheat buyers hand from
cabling purchases at this period.
North American wheat clearances
for February at around 100000 are
small. The United States contribu-
ton is probably five or six millions.
A disappointing amount on this Ar
gentine failure. The European I'M
doubtedly awaits peep at our March
grain estimates.
On current cattle and hog supply
conditions the Chicago March hog
average price OF SIC, is not out OF
line In four cut of past five years
the hog price has been firm affalE
during March. The March period of
1911 was the solitary exception. At
that time the March hog run was i'm
mense and the winter packing OF 1910
IL is a recent season record Very
large.
Cellar supplies are accommodating
and world lard stores are big enough
to demand lower prices. Chicago
stocks of products are on par with
two years ago when May ribs and lard
sold below 10 per cent. Hogs at that
time were, however, six to seven cents
mainly. Size of cellar supplies de-
mands lower prices
The packer, however, is not justified
in basing his summer and fall supply
campaign on a weak at the knees"
hog situation. The present dilemma
will evidently be well met by mod
crate concession in the pit.
Cotton remains a victim OF one fac
tor-a worlds record crop. Securities
are perhaps permanently saddled with
the Mexican outcome, though the
greatest newspapers and financial
journals advise no interference. Bust
ness news is varied.
On the 2,523,0O0.000 corn crop of
1902 the government announced March
reserves of a billion. but that was
record crop at the time and the corn
statistics of 10 and II years ago are a
poor guide The corn crop of 1913
was the smallest since 1904 and next
Saturday guess of above SSO,000,0O0 to
900. 600. 900 on farms will be a sur
prise. We require one billion on the
farms March ] each year and any
smaller supply means scarcity. Sta
tistically the corn reserves do not
promise above 900,000,O00. Corn is
firm on theories of future scarcity. If
the reserves are around s50.00O,0O0 to
S75. 900. 900. higher prices should be
