More Jobs Than Men.

More men than jobs is the usual cry in a
city when winter has set in !; but In Richmond
this year just the opposite holds true, for there
are more jobs than men. Requests for men to
work could not be met the other day at the Cen
trail Charity bureaus. This is gratifying sign.
Charity workers believe there will be less calls
for help this winter than formerly. When men
are at work, women and children have food and
clothes. It is hoped than the forecast of the
charity workers will come true In fact.

Every dealer in Richmond and in the towns
of Wayne county has to compete with the big
mail order houses. The little retailer who has
his money invested in this community, pays his
taxes in this county, buys his supplies here, is
compelled to see many persons buy goods OF
outside concerns, thereby taking the money out
Of the county and helping swell the fortunes OF
men who do not know that Wayne county is a
political unit Of Indiana and care nothing for its
citizens and it's welfare. 80.
The reason why mail order houses are able
to take thousands of dollars out of Wayne county
annually is because their customers erroneous
ly believe they are buying goods cheaper and bet
ter. It is true that big establishments offer a
few articles cheaper than local merchants can
sell them, but these commodities are few, and
what the concerns lose on them is more than
made up on others. When customer patron
ICES mail order house, he does not know wheth-
er he is really getting bargain or is paying
more than he would at home.
Mail order houses cannot do business as cheap
as can small retail stores. Their expenses are
greater and hence they must make greater mar
gins on their goods. Sworn testimony before
federal commissions and congressional commit
tees has proved this. If it is true, then that it
costs more to run big mail order house, its
owners cannot afford to sell goods cheaper than
can small dealers. Professor Neystrom of the
University Of Wisconsin holds that the average
cost of doing business to the small retailer is be-
tween Is and 18 per cent, while the cost to the
big mail order house is from ~ to 80 per cent.
Their bargains consequently are only "bait" to
coax patronage in order to sell unfamiliar and
cheaper goods at higher prices than the GUS
toner pays for them at home.
Mail order. houses seldom offer standard
brand cheaper than the local merchant Often
they sell substitutes of inferior quality at high
er price than the standard brand costs at home,
and the customer does not detect the difference
until the article has been put to the test of
USE -. -.s.-.
Merchandise bought at home has the char
acter and guarantee of the merchant back of
it. He cannot afford to deceive his customers,
for it would mean ruin. Goods bought at home
are just as cheap as those purchased at mail
order house, and the buyer has the business in
tegrity and stability of the local merchant to
guarantee their quality

SPRING WATER MAY BE OBTAINED
Numerous Springs on Northside May
Provide Supply for City

1t is now very probable that it
will be possible to obtain an excel
lent supply of water for the city at
very little expense. As announced
in last week Herald a careful in
vestigation proved that no suitable
sites could be found on the island
Behring'S above town and on the
north side of the river show that
there is no gravel underlying the
soil, a formation which is deemed
necessary locally for pure water
The first of the week investiga-
tons on the Northside opposite and
below the town disclosed the fact
that there are a number of very
fine springs there, in a section
which is very free from any danger
of surface contamination behring's
were made there and tests sent to
Boise Wednesday for analysis.
DR.. Fry stated to the Herald that
it is hoped-with a large degree of
probability-that this water will
prove to be pure and to be fed from
large subterranean springs. If this
should prove to be the happy con-
clusion of the perplexing matter il
will provide the city with a fine
supply of pure, cold, spring water

Harris Heathershaw Wedding

Two wellknown Boomers Ferry
young people who had been seri-
ously wounded by the barbed shafts
of little Dan Cupid, called upon
County Clerk Stanley early Mon
day morning and were quietly mar
ried by the same official, the said
couple being Mr.. William Harris
and Miss Ethel Heathershaw.
Nothing that the Herald can say
will more fully acquaint its readers
with the newly married couple.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Harris have
lived here for several years, where
they have a host of friends. The
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Heathershaw. She
is a graduate of the Boomers Ferry
high school of the class of 1914.
and is a popular young lady among
the younger set. Mr.. Harris is a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Harris,
and holds a good position with the
Boomers Ferry Lumber company
The Herald extends to Mr.. and
Mrs. Harris its fluctuations and
wishes them much JOY and pros
perity.

Interest Excitement, HumOr and Much Discussion
Caused in Letting of Contract for County Printing

on some occasions through an over
sight, yet several others who had
had business relations with him
testified to the fact that they had
always received all the money that
was due them. The commission
ers room was filed by interested
spectators who seemed to enjoy
the proceedings, which occupied
the better part OF day.
The matter was finally settled
Thursday morning by the board
voting to award the contract to the
Kootenai Valley Times on basis
considerably reduced from its bid.
Commissioner McColl moved that
the contract be awarded to the low
est bidder, the Critic, but Commits
sioners Shively and Deyoe voted
in favor of the Times on the con-
ditionsstated above.

Attorney Bottum. The procedure
followed was that of legal court
with Chairman Shively presiding
and with all witnesses sworn to tell
the truth and nothing but the
truth, but the proceedings smacked
largely of a kangaroo court with
two of the chief witnesses politely
telling each other that they were
liars.
R. L. Shinault, late business
manager of the Critic, and Schnat-
terly himself were the two chief
witnesses, and it was between
these two that the pet names were
passed and where the fireworks
originated. Much testimony was
introduced for and against Schnat-
terly, and while Schnatterly admit
ted on the stand that he might
have overdrawn his bank account

Three Vacancies in Teaching Corps

Three vacancies have developed
in the teaching carps of the Bon

son, last year instructor in Latin,
and Prof. Geiter, in charge of music
and elocution, have both resigned
Miss Larson having been married
and Prof. Geiter having been
offered a position in a Montana
school at higher salary. The posi-
ton of superintendent is also un-
filled, but the board has several
applications and has written two
applicants asking them to make
personal application here in the
near future. Last year Supt.
Spoerry had charge of the science
department and it is necessary to
engage a superintendent who can

SOME SALARIES
DO NOT PLEASE
County Commissioners Award Pay to
Officers, and Sheriff and Prose-
cutting Attorney Not Satisfied
MAKE PROTEST TO The BOARD
Claim Clerk Stanley Given too Much in
Comparison with Other Officers

The county commissioners of our
new county have had their hands
full In more ways than one this
week. Aside from sitting as a
board of equalization, ordering
supplies, and similar routine work,
their chief labor-and the one that
has aroused a hornets nest of pro-
test from some of the citizens-was
the awarding of the salaries to the
various officers and their deputies.
The award gives J V. Stanley as
auditor and county clerk, 81, 800
per year and two deputies at SIS
and 500 each per month J. A.
Morley, as sheriff, 81 400 per year
and one deputy at SIS per month;
w. B. Hawkins, treasurer, 81 400
per year; James c. Bush, assessor,
81 400; c. H. leighton, county
attorney, $1,000; Charles O'Cal-
laghan as probate judge and Miss
Margaret Moore as county super
intendent of schools, 81, 100 each;
c. H. Cave, county surveyor, $3.50;
coroner's Office, $3.50.
Dissatisfaction is felt by some of
the taxpayers who claim that there
has been discrimination in the
awarding of the salaries and dep
uties, and both Sheriff Worley and
Prosecuting Attorney leighton en-
tered protest against what they
consider improper treatment. Sher-
if Morley states that he would be
satisfied with the salary and the
one deputy awarded him if similar
action had been melted out to 9TH
ers, the chief cause of complaint
being allowing County Auditor and
Clerk Stanley 81 800 a year and
two deputies. The statement was
made that the sheriff Office in the
average county has as much or
more work to perform as the clerk
office, and it is further maintained
by the dissatisfied ones that the
usual procedure is to pay the sher-
if as much as any other officer.
1t has also been stated that $500
per month is not sufficient salary
for a deputy sheriff, considering
the difficult and sometimes danger
Gus work he has to perform.

Gillard Will Fight Mullan

Boomers Ferry lovers of the
sport within the squared ring will
be interested in the announcement
that arrangements have been closed
for a six-round boxing contest be-
tween Tom Gillard, of Boomers
Ferry, and Barney Mullan, of Wal
lace, Idaho, to take place here on
the evening of July Path. Mullan
comes with a good reputation, be-
ing an experienced fighter of many
contests, at one time trainer of
Army WEIGH and sparring partner
of Stanley Ketchel. Backers of
Gillard claim, however, that the
local boy has the markings of an
aggressive aud skillful fighter and
with little more experience will
be able to successfully meet any
man of his weight. Gillard will &c
into the ring at about 40 pounds,
while Mullan will weigh in al
approximately 16O.

Let Contract for Jail

The contract for a county jail
was let Tuesday by the county
commissioners to Caldwell, Idaho,
firm represented by J. M. Green
field, at total cost of $2,230, the
next lowest bid being made by a
St. Louis firm at $2,59 The Jail
proper will consist of two cells and
a cage and a prisoners corridor.
Cells, window bars, doors, etc.
will be of combined bar and plate
construction of Van Dorm material
and are guaranteed to be absolutely
knife, saw or drill proof. There
will be double entrance doors; one
of steel plate and one of bars. This
material is exactly the same kind
as is used in the Tombs prison. of
New York City.
Whether or not the Jail will be
housed in a building which also
will provide living quarters for the
sheriff has not been determined by
the commissioners. 1t will require
about 90 days to install the Jail as
all parts will have to be made to
order.

DR.. Fry Plats Tract

DR.. E. E. Fry is having plated
the tract of land on Park addition
hill directly north of the Otto
Mathiesen and DR.. Reich residen-
ces. A road is being built on the
brow of the hill and surrounding
the entire property, providing fine
boulevard at the front of the lots,
which will face the north. The
tract being plated into lots COM
prises an acre, and arrangements
will be made whereby the purchas-
ers of these lots will be given an
equity in the three and a half acres
contained in the gulch adjoining
this property on the east, thus en-
abling the owners to develop it into
miniature park or at least prevent
undesirable tenants from obtaining
possession.
1t is possible that the doctor will
have a bridge built crossing the
gulch directly at the top of the hill
road, but this has not been fully
determined. The property will be
one of the most beautiful residence
tracts in the city.

Brought Back on Forgery Charge

Sheriff Morley left this morning
for Libby to bring back one, w. L.
Ricken, who is wanted on charge
of forgery. 1t appears that Ricken
forged his landlady's name to an
order stating that his board bill
was paid in full, amounting to SIS,
and then collected his wages from
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Com
pany, the arrangement having been
that the board bill was to be de-
Quoted by the company if unpaid.
Ricken was arrested at Whitehsh
and brought back to Libby, where
Sheriff Morley took him in charge.
