Road OvcrSeer
Is Discharged
WAS NOT in HARMONY WITH BOARD
Does Not Support Them For Reelection And
Is Dismissed

Benwah, Oct. 25, 1914
Editor of the Record: / would
like a little space in your paper
for the purpose of giving to the
public a few facts in regard TO
the manner in which the present
board of county commissioners
are Juggling with the road funds
and using them where and in a
manner that will do the most good
TO them politically without regard
to the interests Of the settlers.
Shortly after the present COM
missioners took their Office the
settlers residing in road district
No. 33 in Cedar Greek precinct
circulated a petition asking that
l be appointed district road over
seer.
l took the petition to Occur
d'Alene and was appointed. The
board, however, told me at the
time that they had no money to
spend in that district and sug-
gested that l circulate a petition
asking that a special highway tax
be levied in that district.
/ did so. A special tax was
levied and collected amounting to
something near fourteen hun
dred dollars.
l urged the commissioners time
and again to come over to the
district and locate a road and let
me get to work so that we could
get a road that would let the set
tiers out, but was unable to get
them over until in July of this
year.
There was a little discussion
among the settlers as to the loca-
tion of the road, two or three
families wanting it located in a
round about way where it would
not accommodate any of those
who paid this special tax.
The board took no action until
early in this month when they
located the road so that it would
accommodate these two or three
settlers, leaving a large MAORI
ty of the settlers and those who
paid the special road tax without
any means of getting out.
On October 18th l received the
following letter:
Mr.. T. H. Vroman, St Maries
Idaho. Dear Sir: Owing to dis
cussions in your district, the

CHICAGO, Oct. g. Taking a
load of potatoes to town is no

used to be for the Illinois farmer.
Seeing the sights on State street
is no longer the most exciting
event of days trip to the city.
Because when the farmer

the way alone. Long before he

Legislature Approves Bill

To meet this condition of stagnaton, a bill was
passed in 1913 at Olympia known as the Quincy
Valley Irrigation Act, which demands that the land
owners of the Quincy Valley Project shall vote
bonds to the amount of forty million dollars on the
land and deposit these bonds with the state treas
urer.
With this security, the Reclamation Board,
posed of the Governor State Auditor, State Treas

will Immediately proceed-at the expense of the

 That the servant who has given her bodily strength and hearts best inter- est to the home must not be forgot ten, goes without saying; but 1t is certainly bad form to make the poor servitor's gift an inexpensive trif1e when something better can be afford cd.
 Then what woeful want of taste it shows for us to defer buying a friends or sisters present until we have found out what she means to give us, and so make the exchange auid pro quo. The gift that goes to friend or relative is above all one for love, and it is undoubtedly better taste for the recipient of the simpler gift in the exchange to appear as pleased as if she had received some thing ten times its value
 But, then, what matters the nature of the gift after all? The spirit is the thing-and does not this silly pic ture or cushion, so unbecoming to the parlor, mean that the friend or sister has thought of us?
 AS for the little children, so much are their feelings painfully strained at this time that I would like to write a book on the subject. l beg every mother not to threaten the poor little heart that misbehaves sometimes with the eternal word that Santa Claus won't come if you do that any more. The dear kiddie who forgets to be good knows better after year or two of this narrowing threat, which makes you out story teller. Meanwhile there is the little heart staying awake at night with it's dreadful anxfeties; there are the sudden storms of bitter tears, with all the glory of Christmas sunk in the bottomless pit of absolute sureness that Santy-dear abused, good old fat gentleman-won't come
 We remember the poor and drop a few pennies gladly for the blind chil- dren.

 So let us never lose sight of thai fact with our gifts. whether our hands tender or receive them; for the heart closed to the deeper significance c' Christmas may truly be hkened tc the inn that held no room.

| MARR0W ESCAPE
Justice R. M. Henderson Has Narrow Escape of
 Horrible Death

On Saturday afternoon last at
 his residence while breaking a large chunk of coal preparatory to carrying it h the house, Esq.
 R. N. Henderson. found a stick of dynamite imbedded in the coal and narrowly escaped a horrible death as he struck the coal with an axe. The stick of dynamite had been imbedded in the coaI by the miners while blasting in the mine and it had failed to discharge. Just by ac- cident Afr. Henderson and son, Ruei, discovered the fuse and picking it up found that the entire stick of dynamite was at tached with cap. ready for dis charge. The big chunk of coal in which it had been. incased Was just as it came from the mine and it is only by the merest chance that the explosion did not follow when the coal Was broken. Had the explosion came MT. Henderson would have unquestionably met a horrible death and no one would have ever known the cause. It would have been an unsolved

 ANCE more the Christmastide Ln and it's beautiful meaning is with the world. Again the
 shepherds. watching their
 focks by night. are sore afraid at the glory which shines about them. Clothed in binding light, the angel speaks: the heavenly host that crowds suddenly about him sing Of glory in the highest and peace and good will. The wise men who have seen his star in the East. kneel and spread their gifts of gold and myrrh and frankincense without question.
 The miracle of 1000 years ago is still new and glad and lovely. for. To! in ell Christendom bells peal and sweet choirs sing the message given by the binding angel and the crowd ing host:
 '.Tor behold l bring you tidings Of great joy which shall be to all people. Glory to God in the highest. and on earth peace. good will toward men.
 This is the message of the Christ mastide. yet the bigger half of Chris tendon makes the period the pagan festival it once was at the time Of the winter solstice. We give gifts, for sake of the gods of custom and merriment, forgetting entirely that they are for sake of the great spiritual toy which shall be to all people. The gold and myrrh and frankince4se of the heart are withheld-we give gifts because we've got to. and keep our hearts sas much closed to. the Christmas child as was the Inn. We have our own selfish ends to gain. the rich patron to cater to, the friend to appease. We heap little children with dazzling toys. and light the starry lamps of their fir trees because it is the fashion. and we do our small Christmas charities because 1t would seem mean not to do them.
