Board Of Supervisors Announces That
Work viii BIO Done on the
Building This
Spring.
ooNFERR1NG OVER SUIT
Members Meet Here to Talk Over the
Suit Of Hart, Clerk
vs.. Lake,
ct al.

The outside OF the Lee county cour'
house Is to be given a coat OF pain,
this spring. The board Of supervisors
were in the city today and agreed tc
the statement by Supervisor Young
that this much needed Improvement
should be- made. The board has not
| gotten to the point of decision on the
color as yet, but the members say
that the building will be deckeu out In
a new Easter coat OF paint.
| Supervisors Scheffler and Hosier
were here today to confer over tie
suit of the county against Bruce Lake
former clerk OF the district court.
which will come up Monday afternoon
under the title OF Hart clerk, VS.. Lake.
ct al. The suit is for the recovery OF
the money alleged to be due the coun-
ty from the clerks office
There are several matters, it was
explained, that the board would have
to look into along the line of this suit,
but just what these were tie members
did not say. They were to hold short
conference with Supervisor Young
this morning. No statements would
be forthcoming as to the nature OF the
conference however, the board init
mated
Attempts at settlement have been
made at previous times between the
bonding company which was carrying
the bond of former Clerk Lake, and
the supervisors. These attempts have
not amounted to anything. however,
and the case viii come to trial on
Monday afternoon at o'clock, it is
expected
County Attorney McManus will rep
resent Clerk Hart and the board of
supervisors in this coming suit, and
Holiingsworth and Blood O'Harra,
O'Harra, Wood and Walker will repre-
sent the former clerk, and the Bank
ers Surety Company of Maryland,
which has been carrying Lakes bond.
Some Fine Points.
Inasmuch as Clerk Hart is the
plaintiff in the suit against Lake and
the bonding company, it has been
figured out by some OF the wisacres
that he will not be able to draw the
jury or perform any other duties of
clerk that he usually does in the trial
OF suit. II this situation prevails
some interesting technicalities may
be involved in the trial OF the case.
There are Only eighteen available
men on the jury at the present time,
it is understood. There is big pos.
sibility that special yenire will have
to BE- drawn.

EDWARDSBURC

Edwards and their five-year-old son
came into this wilderness to make their
home. Deprivations they expected
took as matter of course, but as the
long summer days, the endless even
ings came and nothing to break the
monotony except the gossip of the
camp, some bit of news brought by a
stray prospector, life held little pleas
ure. Then the two took stock as it
were and realized that while they
might exist on bacon and beans there
could be no life without books. There
was no mail service except as some one
coming from Warren packed the letters
for the camp, rarely papers or maya
zines, as the prospectors were none too
well supplied with cayuses and packed
those they have with grub. So the
first consideration was a postoffice.
That was granted, mail had to be pack
ed for months before the government
would furnish carrier. Mr.. Edwards
with the aid of Floiran Foster packed
the mail and established the office.
During this time Mrs. Edwards by let
ters to the eastern magazines became
in touch with Mrs. Alden the head of
the Sunshine Society. Mrs. Alden was
Cynthia Westover and had spent her
young life in the Colorado mountains
and understood the conditions of the
Idaho wilderness so when she wrote an
article for the Ladies Home Journal
telling of the desire for books, the mo-
notonous winters, the shut in months it
found an answering school all over the
world. In the spring there were hun
.dreds Of books in Warren waiting for
the opening of the trails to cayuses.
There were barrels of books at the rail.

TO THE HOUSEWIFE.

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look otter the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious diseases. A child is
much more likely to contract diphtheria
or scarlet fever when he has cold.
If you will enquire into the merits
of the various remedies that are re-
commended for coughs and colds, you
will find that Chamberlain Cough
Remedy stands high in the estimation
of people who use it. 1t is prompt and
effectual, pleasant and safe to take,
which are qualities especially to be
desired when medicine is intended for
children. For sale by all dealers.
