Bill Passes
AIDS MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, Aug. 17.-By a
vote of 40 to 20 the senate today
rejected the conference report on
the shipping bill to admit for
eign built ships to American reg
stry and proposing to open the
coastwise trade to foreign craft.
The house bill was then adopt

extends American registry to all
foreign built ships. The bill
now goes to President Wilson for
approval. 1t is believed he will
sign it.
The bill enacts into law the ad-
ministration plan to restore the
transatlantic trade parlyzed by
the European war. It is also
designed to enlarge the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
Already the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line has received proposals

American waters and the North
German-Lloyd line has announc-
ed that it will sell some of its

LaVeine FaVOrS
County Division

Attorney E. N. La Veine OF
Occur d'Alene has been spending
a couple of days in this city. He
visited the city with G. H. Martin
candidate for district judge latter
going on up to the Marble Greek
country on a vusiness trip.
He is an ardent supporter of
Mr.. Martins candidacy and is do
ing all in his power TO secure his
nomination and election, sincere
ly believing that he is the best
man that can be elected to fill the
office.
Mr.. La Veine also takes a great
,deal Of interest in the county div
ision fight Like a large nunbcr
of others in Occur d'Alene he be
lieves that it is for the best IN
terests of the county as a whole
to be divided into two counties
and thinks that this is postively
trueOf the north part.
The interests of the north and
the south are not the same and
there is bound to be mere or l'ss
clashing between COenr d'Alcne
and st. Maries, as representa-
tives of the different interests un-
til the two sections are divided.
The south end needs roads
badly while those in the north are
in comparatively good condition.
IN, south end will ho. be salts
fed with what she gets for roads
while the north will continually
think the south is gett ng more
than her share.
He believes that so far as the
north is concerned il Will nc bet
tex off divided as tho amount re-
quired for roads in the south anC
the court expense from the south
will more than offset 'hc taxes de-
rived from that end.
He not only favOrs county divi-
sion but is willing TO gel oul an'
work for it and says shat if there
is anything that he can do to cal
or him and ne is ready TO help ir
every way in his power.

LabOrer Has Foot
Badly Crushed

Anton Snoren, a German lab
orer at work for the Two Mericle
Concrete Company met with an
accident yesterday that will lay
him up for a few weeks.
He was at work on the rock
crusher and was carrying a large
stone to il when the stone split
in two and fell on to his left foot,
striking the big toe joint.
His shoe was cut through, the
flesh torn from the side Of his
foot and the bone fractured. The
injury although severe, was not
so bad as was first feared as the
bone was not badly crushed.

Small Fire Sunday
Little Damage Gone

Shortly after noon Sunday fire
was discovered in a small build
ing, which is used as a warehouse
i'm the rear of the Shaw's Cor
ner store. The fire company
responded to the alarm and soon
had the fire out. The building
is a small one, covered with
sheet iron and was used for stor-
ing beans, coffee and sugar in
bulk.
The store has been closed all
the week, taking inventory, and
the warehouse has not been en-
tered since last Thursday, when
the goods in it were inventoried,
and it is difficult to understand
how the fire started.
The most plausible theory ad-
vanced is that some small boys,
playing there, started a fire in
some rubbish in the rear of the
building and that it burned up
through the building and finally
caught on the frame under the
iron sheeting.
The damage, which was most
ly caused by water, was slight
and was entirely covered by in
surance.

Street Improvement
Progresses Rapidly
COLLEGE GRADING NEARLY COMPLETED
STAR Work Of Putting in Concrete Curbs and Put
ting on Crushed Rock

The street Improvement is pro-
crossing very fayorably. The
grading on College avenue and
on several of the cross streets
is nearly completed and major
ity of the teams have been put to
work on Main avenue. There
still remains considerable dirt to
be removed on College avenue be-
tween Seventh and Ninth streets
and a portion of the fill between
Sixth and Seventh streets to be
made. ii having been necessary
to stop grading there i'm order to
lower the water main.
The forms for the concrete
curbs and cutters are being put
in on College avenue and the con-
crete mixer was overhauled and
some of the material got ON the
ground yesterday, and the work
of putting the curbs and cutters
started today.
The rock men have been busy
for some time getting out rock
for the macadam and the rock
crusher was set at work Sunday
crushing it ready to haul. The
work of putting on the crushed
rock will be started at once on
College avenue and will be con-
tinued on the other streets as
soon as they are in condition.
Between thirty-five and forty
teams are at work now and will
be kept until the work is COM
pleted.
Quite number of the proper
ty owners on the different streets
are planning on putting down
cement sidewalks as soon as the
streets are graded. The gen
eral opinion is that now the ole
plank sidewalks are torn up il
will not pay to put it back again
and the expense Of putting dow
a cement walk will not be a gcca
deal more than it would be to pu
down plank one which woul'
only last four or five years a
the most.
II will only be a few years un-
til this, like every other city, vii
require cement sidewolks to b.
built and this work can be dom
cheaper now, in connection will
the curbing, and with the mater
nal all on the ground, than it pos
sibly could at any other time
Taking these things into cOnsid
Grafton, many of the propert
owners have decided to have tn
cement walks put in at this time
and the prospects now are tha
when the street improvement
are completed they will includ
cement sidewalks in the create
part of the district.

Morgan For
Supreme Court
HAS MANY FRIENDS
Is Strong Man Here in Race for
Office

William Morgan of Moscow,
non-partisan candidate for the
nomination for judge of the Sup
RENE Court spent last Thursday
and Friday in this city in the in
terests of his candidacy.
lie is not by any means a stran-
ger to the people of this city and
county. His long residence in
Moscow and his frequent appear
ance in the courts of this county
has given him a wide acquain-
tance here. I'm addition to this,
he has a summer home at Chatco-
let where with his family he spend
a portion of each summer so that
we look upon him almost as a re-
sident of Kootenai county and he
has many warm friends here who
will do all in their power to Sc
cure his nomination and election.
All over the north part Of the
state and where he is known in
the south he is recognized as one
of the leading lawyers of the state
and as a man with a fine judicial
mind.
His knowledge of the law is
second to that of none and this
combined with good hard sense
and judicial temperament makes
him an ideal candidate for the
supreme bench.
The general feeling is that one
OF the three judges should come
from the north and Mr.. Morgan is
looked upon as the leading north
ern candidate. He stands we'll,
both with the bar and the people
who recognize his ability and
worth.
Speaking of his candidacy to a
Record representative he said:
81 have, during the past seven
OF eight weeks, been over nearly
all of the southern portion Of the
State and find the sentiment very
generally to be in favor Of the sell
ection of a north Idaho man to
succeed Judge Ailshie. 1t is
agreed that, in fairness, the north
third of the state should have one
judge Of the three composing the
supreme court.
" 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the vote upon the
non-partisan judicial ticket will
he light for the reason that many
voters are likely to overlook it,
since the names of all candidates
for nomination for the Offices Of
Justice of the Supreme Court and
District Judge will appear in a
seperate column on the primary
election ballot of each party. The
voter should bear in mind that
these positions are now non-par-
tisan, having been made so by
enactment of the last legislature
and that, in order to vote f1r a
candidate for a judicial position
it is necessary to place a cross
after his name and that the name
will be found in the third column
of the primary election ballot.
1T should also be kept in minC
that while each voter is entitle
to vote for two candidates fol
nomination to each judicial Of
fee he may, should he so desire
vote for but one. The suprem,
, court has recently decided that i
Is optional with the voter to vot
for one or two candidates for eacl
judicial position"
