Her heart was in the work of the

to teach the little children in the
Sunday school, oftentimes walking

Some seven months ago she was
compelled to go to the hospital for
an operation and while the operation
was successful in itself it soon be-
came apparent that she would never
be entirely we'll again.
She had a great desire to live for
her family and her home and she
made a brave fight for her life even
to within the very last few days but
finally she surrendered to the will of
the Lord and bidding goodbye to all
the family and with many admoni-
lions to her children, Don and little
Wilma, and showing to the very last
her concern for her loved ones, she
passed away on Wednesday, Novem-

The tickets for the Thanksgiving
football game were put on sale TO-DAY
and large crowd of volunteers was
enlisted from the fourth perlod as
sembly room to help string them IN
the office. The tickets are in the shape
of football, similar to those printed
for the Grinnell game and are done
in red ink on white cardboard. 1t was
at first planned to make the tickets
larger and of novel design, but the
engraving which was ordered failed to
arrive, and thus necessitated gong
back to the old plan. Although the
tickets are out much later than usual
for the Thanksgiving game, large
number of students have taken them
out. and the sale is expected to be as
large as usual.
An oil heater has been installed in
the Argus room for the benefit OF the
scribes who heretofore have attempted
to get out the Argus in overcoats and
blankets. This new feature was pur'

Creamery is improving rapidly
and promises to be much better
this year than last. Not only are
now patrons coming in but the
old ones are increasing their sup
ply of cream. The creamery is
now turning out from six to eight
hundred pounds of butter per
week and one hundred gallons Of
ice cream. Most of the ice
cream is used in the city but they
have customers at ST. Joe and up
the branch line as far as Bovill.
The creamery has just added
q Little Giant Ice Clipper of the
capacity of z tons per hour which
is found to be a great saver of
time and labor in freezing ice
cream. With this machine the
capacity of the plant for making
ice cream is only limited by the
orders that come i'm for it.

Mr.. Trueman and Mr.. DeMars
were parties to the incorporation
of the bank when it was estab-

Recommend Frazier
For Commissioner
WAS UNANIMOUS CHOICE OF MEETING
Commission To Work With Railway Companies To
Secure North And South Railroad

Only two cities, Occur d'Alene
and st. Maries, were represent
ed at the meeting here Saturday
of representatives of Commercial
clubs to recommend a member
for appointment on the board of
commissioners of the north and
south railroad. Occur 'dAlenc
was represented by Senator Jas.
H. Frazier, Roy Giles and T. II.
Kerl, and st. Maries by A. A.
Darknell, William Trueman and
o. b. Moon. A. A. Darknell was
chosen chairman of the meeting
and Roy Giles secretary.
Senator Frazier explained the
purpose of the Legislature in
passing the joint resolution au-
thorizing the appointment of the
commission and its duties. In
creating the commission the leg
islature had in mind the great ad-
vantage to the state as a whole
a railroad connecting the north
with the south would be in bring
ing the two sections together. as
we'll as the large territory, rich
in minerals, timber, agricultural
and grazing lands. now without
any railroad facilities, which il
would open up.
A railroad has been built and
is now building from Boise north
which has reached a point about
twelve miles north of New Mea-
dows while from the north there
is a railroad running to Grange
Vile. These two places are
only about forty-two miles apart
but the intervening territory is
very dinicult one in which to
build railroad. The railroad
north from Boise is now owned
by the Oregon Short Line and the
one into Grangeville by the
Northern Pacific. The Milwau-
kee Elk River branch is also not
far away.
The commission will take the
matter up with these railroad
companies who have promised to
send surveyors into the territory
and decide upon the most feasible
route for the north and south
connection. The commission
will also determine the feasibil-
ity of state aid for the project and
will report to the governor who
in turn will lay the matter before
the next legislature with his rec
concentrations.
Senator Frazier being as fa-
miliar with the entire matter as
any one who could be appointed
he was unanimously recommend
ed to the governor for the ap-
pOintment.

No Junketing Trips
For Commissioners

Judge Flynn of the district
court has ruled that county COM
missioners could not legally col
lcct their expenses on trips ont
side of the county although the
trip was made in the interests of
the county. The question came
up in the trial of the case of Geo.
Nc Combs, former county COM
missioner of Bonner county, for
libel against the North Idaho
News, published at Standpoint.
Nc Combs, as commissioner,
had collected from the county his
expenses on a trip to Boise to at
tend a meeting of county COM
missioners called by Governor
Haines to discuss the subject Of
taxation and valuations in the
different counties. The News had
published an article violently
criticizing Nj Sombs for his ac-
tion in this/and in similar mat
tcrs.
Under this ruling of Judge
Flynn the jury brought in a YER
dict of one dollar damage in favor
of Nc Combs and against the
News. Nc Combs had sued foI
five thousand dollars damages tC
his character by reason of the
article in question.
