of the county superintendent OF

Thornton Will Cut
Twenty Million
HAS CONTRACT WITH STACK GIBBS CO.
Logs will Be Brought Out Over Tyson Creek Rail
road And Milwaukee Railroad

j. A. Thornton of COeur d'Alene
was in the city yesterday on his
way to look over his logging op-
erations on Tyson creek. He will
cut twenty million feet of logs
lhis summer which will go to the
Stack-Gibbs Lumber company of
Occur d'Alene. lie now has a
crew of one hundred men at work
which will probably be doubled
later in the season. His son.
Saul, has charge OF the logging
operations.
The logs are brought out by
railroad being shipped over the
Tyson Greek railroad which con-
nects with the Elk River branch
of the Milwaukee railroad at San
ta They are brought over the
Milwaukee to the Stack-Gibbs
landing above Silver Tips, where
they are unloaded into the river
and floated to the company's mill
ON the Spokane river below Occur
d'Alene.
Mr.. Thornton began work on
This contract a year ago but be-
fore any logs could be shipped it
was necessary to build the Tyson
Greek railway. He took the con-
tract for clearing the right of way
and building the road and put ten
miles of it in operation in time to
ship several million feet of logs
last fall. He resumed shipping
as soon as the ice in the river
went out so the logs could be
floated TO the mill and will con
tinue all summer. The Stack
Gibbs Lumber company is de-
pending upon the logs he puts i'm
together with what they have on
Marble Greek to supply them for
their seasons run.
Speaking about the logging
prospects Mr.. Thornton said that
there was no trouble in getting or
keeping men, i'm fact there are
more than twice as many men ap-
plying for work rs he could give
employment to.

There was a great deal of dis
satisfaction among the county Of
Gccrs yesterday afternoon when
The county commissioners an
rounced the amounts which they
had practically decided upon as
the salaries for the different Of
fcers. The only two officers who
appeared satisfied with the
amount at which their salaries
we're fixed were the sheriff, who
gets eighteen hundred dollars
year and is allowed a deputy and
a jailer, and the county attorney
who gets fifteen hundred a year
and is given a stenographer.
The next officer in amount of
salary is the assessor who will
receive seventeen hundred dollars
a year and will be allowed an Of
lice deputy and such other help as
may be required, including field
deputies. The clerk of court
and eX-oflicio auditor and record
er gets fifteen hundred dollars
year salary and is expected TO do
The work of the clerk of court act
as clerk of the board of county
commissioners and auditor and

with the assistance of a deputy
and one copyist.
The salary of the treasurer and
tax collector was 1xed at twelve
hundred dollars and ne is ex-
pected to attend 10 the duties of
the Office without the assistance
of a deputy. The probate Judge
was given the same salary as the
treasurer, twelve hundred dollars
per year. He was dissatisfied
with this amount and thought his
salary should have been at least
as much as the county attorney,
fifteen hundred dollars.
The county superintendent of
schools was given a salary of
eleven hundred dollars per year
The county surveyor was given
four hundred dollars per year as
surveyor and four hundred and
fifty dollars a year as county road
supervisor, making a total OF
eight hundred and fifty dollars
and the coroner's salary was fix
ed at one hundred dollars per
year.

candidates for mayor at the COM
ing city election has narrowed
down somewhat in the past week.
Letters have been received from
Leon De Mars, woh is now in Cal

he positively states that he will
not be a candidate for mayor.
Geo. O'DNyer also refuses to
be considered as a candidate. He
states that his business takes up
all of his time and leaves him
none that he could devote to per-
forming the duties OF mayor and

will Have Tc Stand Trial In The District Court
On Three Charges

AT the preliminary hearing of
j J. Brotherton on the charge of
fraud in the keeping of the books
Of the Stein Lumber & Shingle
company, held yesterday before
Justice Schultz, he was bound
over for trial in the district court
on three charges. Two of these
were for fraud in keeping the
books and the other was for em-
bezzling a bill of gods of the val
ne of S73.66.
Brotherton was under arrest
on two charges of fraud in book
keeping, one in making a false
entry increasing the amount due
himself from three hundred dol
lars to four hundred and fifty and
the other for failure to enter on
the books the sum of twenty dol
lars paid to him by C. A. Stowe of
Santa for shingles. The first of
these charges was taken up and
the taking of testimony on it
took practically the entire after
noon and resulted in him being
held for trial.

tions in which It was alleged
BrothertOn had received goods or
money. and had failed to enter
them ON the books. It appears
that in July, 1913, a bill of goods
arrived from Spokane and was
taken to Brotherton's house.
Among other things this bill
contained an item for electric
stove of the value of about seven
dollars and S73.66 worth of gro
ceries and other articles. The
electric stove bill is said to have
been charged to "Repairing the
Shingle Mill" and the groceries

when the defendant admitted il
and his admission went on record
AS soon as this was done Mr
KeetOn had a complaint made out
charging Brotherton with embez-
z1ing this bill of goods amount
ing to S73.66 and a warrant was
issued Br0rherton waived pre-
liminary examination on the
Stowe charge and also on the
charge of embezzling the goods
and he was bound over on oil
three charges, his bail being fix
ed at St3OO.OO.
