Mill To Start Soon

The sawmill of the Boomers
Ferry Lumber Company is all
ready for the beginning of the
spring cut and operations will be
resumed in a week or so providing
the Kootenai river raises sufficient
ly to give needed water. The
Kootenai is lower, it is claimed,
than it has been for rs years at
this season of the year. The plan
ing mill was closed down a half
day last week on account of the
lowness of the water.
The lumber company has closed
down its camp at Copeland and
torn up the logging railroad track.
Most of the timber in the Copeland
district belonging to the local COM
pany has been cut.

EXPECT new G. N. TRAINS
Railroad Men Believe Changes Will Be
Made This Month

Rumors in local railroad circles
give rise to the belief that another
passenger train will be put on soon
and March 21st is the time set for
it. Men in various departments
connected with the Burlington
train that was laid off few months
ago have been instructed to hold
themselves in readiness for call to
service and this gives strong reas-
ons for the rumors current. Some
say the Burlington train now run
ming on the Northern Pacific will
transfer to the Great Northern and
then again others say it will be the
old 43 and A that formerly ran
over Greal Northern rails. Any
way it is another train whereat we
all gloat muchly and a promise Of
better passenger service is a thing
to be appreciated. Another report
comes that No. will run through
to Portland leaving Spokane via
the S. P. S. when the new train
comes on, No. 3 to connect with
the Hill boats leaving Astoria fol
San Francisco.

LOST MEASURE
BY One VOTE
Idaho Senate Rejects Plan to Divide
the State into Two Districts for
Election Of Congressman
BILL CHAMPIONED BY ELLIOTT
Would Have Been Great Boon to
Northern Idaho

One more affirmative vote on S.
B. No. POS last Thursday night in
the senate would have divided the
state into two districts for the cleo
ton of congressman. The bill was
killed by vote of 10 to IS.
Senator Elliott of Bonner county,
the author, spoke in favor of the
measure, explaining the physical
aspect of the division as planned
and showing how he interpreted
the federal law as a mandate to the
state to make such provision. He
said that when the new apportion-
ment of the national congress was
made and Idaho was given two
congressman, the law enacted said
that any state having more than
one congressman should be divided
into as many districts as it had rep
resentatives in the lower house and
one congressman should be elected
from each district. He asserted
that should the question be raised
the members of the Idaho delega-
ton could be unseated under this
law.
Calling attention to the date, he
reminded the senate that for the
next two years the part of the state
included in the proposed northern
district would have no representa-
tive in the national body, either in
the house of representatives or in
the senate. Every other state has
been divided, he said, and it is
causing a duplication of work
which is causing this state more
harm than good. Every member
of the Idaho delegation wants to
DC tlC OnC ~ CldlLll OlGQll lOI WHAT
assistance can be secured from the
national government and 1 believe
the members of the administration
are becoming so tired of the lack of
organization caused by this situa-
ton that / am surprised that the
state is getting even the attention
it should claim.
I may be criticised for bringing
this matter up at this time, when
the population of the state may be
considered by some not to warrant
it, but it must be remembered that
this state is unique in its geograph-
ical difficulties, and there is no
chance of change in the present
apportionment until the year 1880.
shall not bring up the political
argument at this time, but 1 want
to call the attention of the senate
to the fact that the districts are as
compact and are nearly equal in
every respect.

18TH SESSION
CONCLUDED
Legislators Finally Complete Arduous
Duties Late Monday Night-Four
Days Overtime
REDUCTIONIIN APPROPRIATIONS
Legislators From Bonner County Have
Made Records

The thirteenth Idaho legislature
adjourned at 1880 Monday night
after clearing away general appro-
priation and general deficiency
bills, educational and charitable
appropriations, penal institutions
and judicial court budgets. To
meet the drain on the state treasury
during the years of 1915 and 1916,
an ad valorem tax act setting the
maximum limit at $1,500,000 was
passed. 1t is believed that revenue
from the federal government and
from the sale of lands, ETC., added
to the amount raised by the ad
valorem tax will be sufficient to
meet the expenses of the biennium.
The saving over two years ago will
be about $3.50, 900.
The sixtieth and last per diem
day of the legislature fell on last
Thursday, but because important
measures, including the revenue
acts, had not been agreed on, and
the two branches of the assembly
were at loggerheads, the legisla-
ture worked four days overtime.
The conference committees settled
differences between the two houses,
agreed upon budgets and prevented
continued deadlock.
Closing hours of the session were
marked by revelry after the serious
business session was cleared away,
and a large audience banked
galleries and filled all available
space on the floors of the two
houses. Joker bills, absurd motions
and singing heralded the passing
of the assembly.
oOhhSl SOuhNy WAS lHOSl AMY
represented in the session of the
legislature just closed. In the
House H. B. CARAT was one of
the hardest working representa-
tives and was able TO do as much
if not more real legislative work
than any other representative.
Representative York, from Sand
point, was also on the job from
morning to night and was able to
put in some good ticks for clean
legislation. Speaker Conner, also
from Standpoint, is unanimously
credited with having been the best
speaker who has ever presided in
this state.
In the Senate Bonner county,
senator was recognized as a leader
and Senator Elliott was the father
of more important legislation than
any other one senator and he
managed to have several of his
measures enacted into laws

PROVIDES FOR BOND ELECTION
Shall Independent School District No. a
Issue Bonds for $45, 900

AT the regular meeting of the
board of trustees of Independent
School District No. 4 held Monday
evening, a resolution was adopted
which provides for calling an cleo
ton to decide whether the district
shall issue bonds in the sum of
$45, 900 for the purpose of buying
the tract known as the Richardson
site and of erecting a new school
building. The election will be
held at the school house on the af-
ternoon of Saturday, April 3.
This election takes the place of
the one which was to have been
held on March 9th, but which was
postponed because it was learned
that the notice calling the first cleo
ton was not legal in all respects.
The question presented for the de-
cision of the voters is whether the
district shall issue 20-year bonds in
the sum of S45, 900 bearing not to
exceed six per cent interest and re-
deemable in whole or in part in 10
years at the option of the board,
said sum to be expended in the
purchase of what is commonly
spoken of as the Richardson site
and for erecting a modern school
building. The board holds an OPP
ton on this tract for $500.
The board appointed George R.
Gray and H. L. Medbury as judges
of election, and Mrs. G.. A. Elliott

Farmers & Lumberman's State Bank
Will Change to National System

The Farmers & Lumbermens
State Bank of this place is about
to take out national charter, and
when the preliminary arrange
ments are completed will become
The First National Bank of Bon
ners Ferry.
Fred Brown, national bank
examiner for the district compris-
ing Eastern Oregon. Idaho and
Western Montana, made an exami-
nation of the bank last week
preparatory to its conversion to
the national system, and as soon
as the necessary papers etc can be
completed the change will be
made, which will probably be
sometime within the next two or
three weeks.
The capital stock of the bank
has been increased to $25, 900,
with permanent surplus of 81, 500
which will give the new institution
a working capital of $27, 500.
There will be some additions to
the directorate which will be
announced at later date.
Under the management of the
present board of directors the
Farmers & Lumbermen's State
Bank been making steady gains,
and the management feel that the
increasing business of the bank
justi6ies the increase in capital
and the naturalization of the
bank.

NORTH IDAHO
JARED WELL
Senator Elliott Tells Of Late Work Of
Thirteenth Session Of the State
Legislature
PASS LOGGED OFF LAND BILL
Politicians Promise North Idaho Next
Congressional Candidate

OCndlOl I<s IL. I<iiiOte niaAF~o
Monday in Spokane. Wash, the
first of the Idaho Legislators to
reach home. He will remain in
Spokane several weeks looking af-
ter business deals.
In connection with the closing
of the 18th session of the Idaho
state legislature, Senator Elliott
had the following to say in an in
terview given to the Herald:
Although the legislature failed
to sanction the bill introduced by
me to divide Idaho into two con-
gressional districts, legislators from
the southern part of the state de-
feating the bill, we are promised
that one republican candidate for
congress at the next election will
be a north Idaho man.
I'VE reduced the general educa-
ton budget $171, 900 and there is
enough left to carry on the work
satisfactorily" Senator Elliott
said. The state university got
practically all that it asked. About
$4,000 was clipped from the sal
aries budget, reductions having
been general. Although Governor
Alexander said he proposed saving
1000, 900 to the taxpayers In the
next two years, he was not clear in
enlightening the legislature as to
how this money was to be saved.
My belief that the legislature
Just ending is one of the best the
state has ever had.
For northern Idaho an impor-
tant measure put through was the
logged off land law, providing for
clearing and improving different
localities by the district method,
with longtime periods for pay
ment.
Another gain was the highway
betterment law, whereby the pan
handle will get its share of money
spent for highway improvement.
The law provides that IS per cent
of all automobile licenses shall re-
main in the county, the money to
be used on the roads.
The statewide prohibition law
went through with whoop. Both
branches of the legislature were IS
per cent dry and the governor is
dry.
Belief in Boise when l left was
that the governor will veto the
new fish and game law passed by
the legislature and on which nearly
two weeks work was devoted in
committee. The reason for the
veto is that it will do away with
the most powerful political machine
in Idaho and it is believed the gov
ernor will not surrender this pat
ronage.
However. we of the north goi
through a measure to protect the
white6sh business in Lake PEND
d. Oreille by closing the season fol-
this variety from May to Deem
Der. We also got through meas
ure to protect fish in Elk river by
providing a closed season during
the spawning season.
