Dawson had never told his love for

TOOK ROOSEVELT In TO HUNT
Sam Smith, Here for Jury Service,
Old Timer in the County

Sam Smith of Porthill who is
here for jury service for the term
of court, is paying his first visit to
Standpoint in 20 years. He is re-
newing some acquaintance of the
early days when he drove stage
from Kootenai to Bonners Ferry
and had a hotel at Kootenai. In
those days Kootenai was the trad
ing post for all this country and
the outlet for the whole Boomers
Ferry country.
Mr.. Smith came to Standpoint in
1884. He ran the stage line be-
tween Kootenai and Boomers Ferry
for four or FIVE years, and then had
stage line and pack train from
Boomers Ferry to the Kootenai
lakes. During the time he ran the
stage line from Kootenai he took
Colonel Roosevelt in on his hunt.

SCHOOL TAX
IN A TUMBLE
Authorities Doubt Whether Ditdeh
Can Legally Levy Over 5-Mill
Special Levy
TWO ACTS ARE IN CONFLICT
Corporations Start Effort to Hold Sew
eral Levies Off

Conflicting laws passed by the
last legislature have raised an in
teresting point to be threshed out
as to whether school districts which
have levied over FIVE mills special
school tax have done so legally
and if the collection for over the
FIVE mills tax can be legally col
lected.
John p. Gray, of Occur d Alene,
representing corporation clients
paying taxes in this county, has
written letter to George McCombs
as chairman of the county commits
sioners, stating that the levy for
greater amount than FIVE mills will
be resisted. He states in his letter
that the attorney general has writ
ten an opinion holding with the
five mill limit law. County officials
who have looked into the matter
find that the last legislature passed
two school tax levy laws, one linn
iting the tax levy power of school
districts to FIVE mills and another
act limiting the amount to 5 mills.
The two acts seem tosbe in conflict
in this regard, but it is claimed
that while both bills were signed
by Governor Haines the same day
the 15-mill act was passed later
than the five mill act and would
thus take precedence over the FIVE
mill act and repeal any conflicting
act. The matter will be threshed
out at a meeting of the commits
sioners this week.
Bonners Ferry school district is
not affected by the law, being an
independent school district, but
other school districts in the county
are affected, several of the districts
having large school levies. The
districts in the county having over
the five-mill school levy are: No.
IA (Northside), "a mills; No. Is,
(Moravia), mills; No. 1s Priest

10 mills; No. 81, 8 mills; No. SO,

men WILL WORK FOR BOARD
Unemployed in Spokane Seek Labor ON
Farms During Winter

The Spokane Chamber of Com
merce has started a movement
toward the solution of the unem-
ployment problem by sending men
who want work to Inland Empire
farms. Warren Latham, manager
of the Christian Home for Men,
states that many of the men at his
institution are willing to do farm
work during the winter for their
board and keep.
In statement quitting the plan,
Thomas S. Griffith, president of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
says: The Spokane Chamber of
Commerce is making earnest efforts
to relieve the situation. and we be-
lieve that the best and most prac-
teal way of caring for unfortunates
is to give them something to do.
These men, if placed on the farms
of the Inland Empire, where many
of them are willing to work for
their board during the winter, can
be made of positive good to all
of us.
We hope that farmers who car
use these men will notify the
Christian Home for Men in Spo

I'D from the Canadian government
and the data secured from this sur
vey and our Investigations It should
be possible to decide definitely in
regard to the best form OF Improve
ment and its probable cost.
On account of the peculiar ma
ture of the problem involved and
the rather unusual condition con-
fronting the people of the Kootenai
valley, this division feels disposed
to assist in every way possible.
We are in a position to start work
on this project at once and it will
be necessary for us to complete the
field work before the spring
floods.
Engineer McCrory conducted a
personal investigation of the plans
for the drainage of the Kootenai
valley few months ago and went
over the entire district with Engi-
neer Young with the Canadian
government.
Engineer Crory states in his let
ter that while it is customary for
the government to pay a half OF
the expenses connected with work
of surveys similar to that which
will have to be done here, in the
case of the Kootenai valley project
the department will ask only $3.50.
Charles c.. Reeder, of Spokane,
has agreed to raise $3.50 of this
amount and owners of overlooked
lands in this district will be ex-
pected to pay the remaining $500.
1t is proposed that the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club raise S15C
of this $500 if the land owners will
raise the other $3.50.
The people of this district feel
very jubiliant over the promising
turn which drainage matters have
taken. The news received this
week is particularly pleasing to
Senator Elliott, who, with w. B.
Hawkins, Mrs. Wells and others
has been very prominent in secur-
ing recognition of the feasibility Of
Kootenai valley drainage plans.

Saturday Blaze Damages Dwelling

Saturday afternoon between
and 4 o'clock FIRE broke out in the
William Van Gasken house situated
onelhalf block west of the Reid
Department Store, and before it
could be extinguished the building
was badly Quilted and most of the
contents destroyed. The house
was occupied by Mrs. Mary Brown.
While the cause of the fire is not
definitely known, it is believed that
an explosion of gas in a burning
chimney blew the stove pipe out,
the flames from which set fire to
the house. The fire department
responded promptly when the
alarm was turned in, but the fire
had secured enough Roadway to dc
considerable damage before it could
be gotten under control.
1t is understood the damage was
estimated at about $1,000, partly
covered by insurance.
The ladies of the Union church
raised fund of $40 and present
ed to Mrs. Brown to help cover hel
loss, Mrs. Brown being a member
of the church.

STANDPOINT DEFEATED EASILY
Local Basket Ball Team Wins First of
Series for Championship

In one of the best basket ball
games of the season the Boomers
Ferry High School team defeated
the Standpoint High School team
Saturday night at Kent's hall by a
score of 81 to Is. This was the
first of a series of games to be
played between the local and Sand
point teams for the championship
of Bonner county. The game was
refereed by Prof. Strong, of Sand
point. Prof. Carlson, of Boomers
Ferry, was the umpire.
To say that Standpoint was out
classed from start to finish is let
ting the visiting team down easy
AT no time in the game did Sand
point show anything worth men
tioning in the way of team work
or speed and they were seldom able
to break up the team work of the
Boomers Ferry FIVE. Armheld.
Lindgren and Murphey were the
best players of the Standpoint team.
Among the players on the local
team Kent was the star with Bangs
a close second. the former making
Is points and the latter 20 points
for the home team. Kent is per-
haps the fastest player of the team
and certainly is faster than any
opponent who has played here this
year. Bangs is fast as we'll as a
heady player. Loughney and
Campbell worked we'll as forwards
and Johnson and Mcnamara were
strong guards. Johnson has only
played a few games. Mcnamara
had the jump on his man all
through the game and made three
baskets besides.
While the game was one sided
as far as the score was concerned
it was intensely interesting from
start to finish. The Standpoint
team were game to the end bui
could not break up the speedy
team work of the home guards.
During the intermission between
halls farce game was played be
tween the Whites and the Black:
with Alfred May as umpire. Thu
Blacks were so we'll made-up anC
costumed that they would hav'
have made a genuine coon greer
with envy. The official score il
this game has not been made pub
| lie.

new HOPES FOR
RECLAMATION
Senator Brady Confident Of Interna-
tional Co. operation in Drainage
Of Kootenai Valley
SURVEYS TO BE MADE SOON
British Columbia Officials Ready to
Aid Project

Charles c.. Reeder, of Spokane,
one of the largest landowners of
the overlooked land of the Koote-
mai valley, is optimistic over the
assurances he has received that in
ternational cooperation will be
given in the retaining of the So
900 acres of overlooked land lying
along the Kootenai river in Idaho
and British Columbia. Mr.. Reed
er, in a recent letter tells of con-
vtrsation he had with Senator
James II. Brady, who has given
the matter of the retaining of the
Kootenai valley a great deal of his
attention:
Senator Brady told me he had
seen Premier Mcbride, says Mr..
Reeder, Mr.. Ross, minister of
lands, and Mr. Young, the drain
age engineer, about our drainage
matters. He had long and salts
factory interview with the result
that he was promised all co-opera-
ton on the part of the British Co
lumbia officials. Senator Brady
said that there would be no trouble
whatever in their uniting with us
in every practical way in order to
secure the drainage of the Koote-
mai valley lands, provided, of
course, the cost of such work was
found to be within reason. The
British Columbia engineers will
continue their investigations next
year to cover Kootenai lake and
the Columbia river.
Senator Brady told me that he
was sure that the United States
government would put men in the
field early next year and survey
the river and lands for us. AS to
the Indian lands, Senator Brady
said he had seen Secretary of the
Interior Lane who had said that he
would recommend that the govern
ment pay the Indian assessment,
provided, of course, that the as
sessments come within reasonable
sum per acre.
Further evidence that officials of
the United States government look
with favor upon the project OF re-
claiming the overlooked lands of
the Kootenai valley, is given in the
letter received this week by Sena-
tor +. +. Elliott from S. H. Nc
Crory, chief of drainage investiga-
tons of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Engineer
McCrory's letter in part is as fol-
lows:
Since returning to Washington
have given the matter of this di-
vision making a survey OF the
Kootenai valley considerable study.
AS nearly as l can estimate a sur
vey of this project from the Boun-
Diary line 70 Crossport, Idaho,
would cost approximately S425O.
This survey would include lines OF
cross levels across the river valley
at approximate intervals of one
half mile, meanders of both banks
of the river with levels and trans
versing of such streams as come
from the mountains into the Koot-
enai river valley. Cross sections oil
the river channel would be made at
intervals of approximately one
mile. This information would be
compiled and report and maps
prepared for the project. A study
of high water during the spring Of
1915 will be made a part of this
survey. From informatiop collect
