trial in Justice of Peace Kent s

MARTIAL BONDS ARE IRKS0ME
A. B. jackson Starts Suit In District
Court for Divorce

Attorney S. f. Henry fled an
action in the district court Monday
for A. B. Jackson in which the
latter sues for divorce from Hannah
Jackson. The plaintiff lleges
cruelty and inhuman actions on
the part of the defendant for one
cause of action.
The complaint states that the
couple were married at Essington,
B. c., May, IS, 1909. Both the
plaintiff and defendant have re-
sided here for some time the former
having been employed by his
brother, H. o. Jackson, in the
Table Supply Co. store for the past
two years.
The plaintiff alleges in the COM
plant that during month of August
he went home to dinner aud the
defendant threw a cup at him cult
his face severely; that she has at
divers times called him vile names;
that by reason of premeditated,
persistent and willfull system of
prosecution and annoyances adopt
ed by the defendant towards the
plaintiff her language to and
treatment of him, has caused him
great mental and physical suffering
and that to remand him to her
control and companionship would
be virtually consigning him to a
premature death or to insanity. -
The defendant will fight the case
and has retained G.. A. Buhrow as
her attorney who announced today
that an answer and a cross COM
plant would be filed today or to-
morrow in which two separate
causes for action will be set up.

I call attention to the fopogra-

Sal2 AttShtAoA " fA~ 'Sf>8A"
ply of the country in this reserve;
that part of the reserve in the state
OF idaho Is separated from that in
Washington by range OF noun
tains, and there Is nothing mutual
between that part of the reserve in
either state wherein a system OF
roads could be built extending
from the Idaho side to the Wash
ington side; that whatever roads
are constructed on either side must
before entering either state from
the other, pass out of the reserve
The memorial of the county
commissioners, which is addressed
to the senate and house of repre-
sentatives, recites that the present
law makes provision that when
any forest is in more than one
state or territory or county, the
distributive share to each from the
proceeds of said reserve shall be
proportional to its area therein, "
that in the Kaniksu national forest
Washington has col 1888 acres and
Idaho ELI, 240 acres, while the
timber in Washington is approx
mately 100000, 900 feet while that
in Idaho is approximately 1,5O0, =
900, 900 feet; that on account of its
accessibility and value under the
present arrangement Of distribution
Washington receives more than its
share of the proceeds over Idaho,
1t is asserted in the memorial that
during 1918 SOL 900 worth of tim
Der was sold from the Kaniksu
forest, practically all from the
Idaho side,
lr answering the receipt of the
memorial and the county attorney 5
explanatory letter all the Idaho
contingent wrote that they would
take the matter up Immediately.
Senator Brady writes; u have
had up the general question of the
distribution of forest receipts with
the department, and in few, days
expect to introduce q bill which
will call for the distribution of all
moneys received from the sale OF
timber in forest areas as we'll as all
other earnings to the state in which
that particular forest area is situat-
ed"
Senator Borah says: 1t would
likely be pretty difficult to get
through a separate bill amending
the law but it occurs to me that
when the question of the appropri-
alton bill comes up for the forestry
and agricultural department that
we ought to be able to put in an
amendment which would protect
US on this situation and / will bear
the matter in mind and undertake
to do so, !"
Congressman French states that
he will introduce a bill in the
house looking to the amendment
of the present law and Congress-
man Smith gives his favorable con-
sideration of the suggestion made,

WOULD DIVIDE
FOREST MONEY
County Officers Seek More Equal Divis.
ion Of Funds from Sale Of
Government Timber
CONGRESSMAN WILL GIVE AID
Effective Legislation Will Soon Be
Presented

Claiming that Bonner county IS
not receiving the amount of govern
ment money due it through the
forestry bureau from the sales of
timber on the Kanikau reserve,
Idaho members of both houses of
congress will make the effort to
secure a more equal division be-
tween Bonner county and Pend
Oreille county in Washington.
In addressing a memorial to the
department pledging B n II er
county to spend for road purposes
sums equal to the amounts set
aside for that purpose by the for
estry department, in accordance
with request from the department,
the matter of better adjustment
of the division of the moneys
received in the counties of the two
states WHICH will receive foresty
funds was brought up by the
Commissioners and County Attor-
ney Costello who is in receipt of
letters from Senators Borah and
Brady and Congressman French
and Smith stating that they will
make the effort to have the matter
adjusted.
In his letter to the Idaho con-
tingent in congress Mr.. Costello
said: The gross receipts for tim
ber sold in the Kaniksu reserve
was SOL 900, and according to the
present arrangement one fourth OF
that, or S22, $50, is divided between
the states comprising the reserve
in proportion to the area, Accord
ing to this proportion, Washington
would receive Sl2,5s8 and Idaho
Sl0,157, although practically all of
this timber was cut from said re-
serve in Idaho. 1t is estimated
that within the next two or three
years the sales from said reserve
will amount to approximately
$500, 900. According to the law
IA it now stands, one-fourth Of
said sum, or SIPS, 900, will be
divided between the states Of
Washington and Idaho, according
to the area, of which approximate
ly 500. l62 would go to the state Of
idaho, regardless Of the fact that
practically all of the said timber to
be sold within the next two OF
three years will cut FROM said re-
serve in the state of Idaho,
THE reason that practically all
of those sales within the next few
years will be made from the timber
in said reserve in the state of Idaho,
is that the timber in the Priest
River country in said reserve is
for more valuable, owing to a
higher quality, than that OH the
Washington side, and the Idaho
timber is also much more accessi-
BILE to market, owing TO the topog-
raphy of the country and the
streams for driving the logs to
market, and the Idaho timber
commands a much higher pries
than that on the Washington side
Also, the land as the timber /.
removed in the Priest River country
Is very valuable for agriculture
purposes and, as for reforesting
the conditions are so favorable TO
the growth of the timber on tn
Idaho side, that for the future
and indefinitely. the conditions ar
so much more favorable in Idah
than on the Washington side TO
the growth of timber that the IN
business of the law as it nov
provides will continue.

THE AMENDMENTS.

The official vote, as promulgated
by the Secretary of State, shows
that all the proposed amendments
to the Constitution were ratified ex-
cept No. 8, permitting women to
serve as members of boards of char
ity and correction and to hold any
office in connection with the educa-
tional system; No. IL, The Lake
Shore Park amendment, and No. 16
creating an additional Judge for the
Rapides District, this being included
in No. Is which was ratified
An analysis of the vote shows,
that amendment No. to increase
the salary of the Governor was de-
feated in the country parishes by a
majority of 1900, but was saved from
defeat by the large majority received
in the City. No. 6 or what is known
as the woman's amendment received
a majority of a little less than seven
hundred in the country parishes but
was absolutely swamped by the City
majority against it. No. 8, giving
the Legislature the authority to Gre
ate the office of Assistant District
Attorney, met with defeat in the par
ishes but was carried by large City
vote. No. 10 which authorized
towns and cities to impose special
taxes for the establishment and
maintenance of fire departments was
saved by the City vote, the country
parishes voting against it by ma
jority Of about two thousand. This
was also true regarding the Judge
ship amendment, the country par
ishes have gone on record against
the creation of any more offices. All
other amendments received substan-
tial majorities in both city and
country.
A peculiar feature of the vote on
the amendments is vote on amend
ment No. ID creating an additional
District Judge in the Caddo District,
the Rapides-G Grant District, the Dis
trict composed of St. Helena, Tang
ipahoa and Livingston, and in the
District composed of St. Charles, St.
John the Baptist and Jefferson. In
these Districts the parish of
Grant, opposed the amendment
nearly three to one, while the par
ishes Of Tangipahoa, Livingston and
st. James polled majorities against
it. Evidently the people of the af-
fected districts could see no necessi-
ty for the increase in the number of
judges.

The Secretary of Agriculture es-
Inmates that the corn crop OF the
United States for the present year
will amount to 2,705, 692 900 BUSH
els. If this was all ground into
meal, it would make bread enough
to feed all the people of the United
States about two years and six
months and all the people of the
world for more than one week if load
ed into standard cars it would make
a train containing 3,7S7 ,944 cars or
a train more than 43 900 miles long,
which, travelling at the rate of 20
miles per hour, would take more
than SO days to pass a given point
If divided into trains of one hun
dred cars it would require to move
this one crop, 1888 locomotives
an equal number of conductors, en-
gineers and firemen and more than
70 900 brakemen or total of near
ly 100000 rail road train men.
Some crop this, and according to
the estimate made by the Secretary
of Agriculture, based on the price
of corn on November LIST, is worth
to the farmers of this country ST.
$50, 1867 1924.

the STATE AND THE SUGAR TRUST.

The State has filed custer proceed
ing against the American Sugar Re-
filming Company, the object of which
is to prevent the Sugar Trust from
doing business i'm the State, and we
would like to know who will gain II
the State wins the suit? We are OPP
posed to, Trusts and we are the
friends of the Louisiana sugar plant
ers and would like to see them get
the proper price for their product
and be prosperous, but we fail to
see wherein the custer proceedings
would benefit either the planters or
the State. The plant of the Amerl-
can Sugar Refining Company In this
State is worth something like &c.
600, 900, it employs hundreds OF
men i'm and about New Orleans, has
a pay roll of thousands of dollars per
month, pays several thousands OF
dollars per annum in taxes, land
spends thousands of dollars in the
State for other supplies than sugar.
Now what benefit would it be to the
Louisiana sugar planters or to the
State or to New Orleans or to the
Parish of St. Barnard, if this.great
industry was forced to move its.mag-
nificent plant to, say Mobile, and
continue to buy sugar here in Louis
lana Just as it does to-day, while the
State would lose all of the revenues
and advantages of having this plant
within its borders?,
