SECURE GOOD
APPOINTMENTS
Senator Elliott and Representative Car
raft Given Prominent Places on
Committees in Legislature
REPRESENTATIVE YORK WRITES
Looks for Great Deal of Good to Be
Accomplished This Session

Bonner county legislators are
surely receiving full recognition in
the Senate and House. Lieutenant
Governor Taylor honored Senator
Elliott, of Boomers Ferry, with the
Craftsmanship of the committee on
education and membership, of the
committees on agriculture, county
and county boundaries, three very
important committees. Speaker
Conner, of Standpoint, appointed
Representative CARAT of this city,
the chairman of the committee on
federal relations and of county
lines and boundaries and mem
her of fish and game and of water
ways.
Representative York of Bonner
Is chairman of agriculture and hor-
ticulture and a member of live
stock, of public buildings and
grounds and of state library.
After mentioning the organizs-
ton of the Idaho legislature and
other preliminary matters, Repre-
sentative G.. w. York, of Sand
point, writes further in regard to
happenings of interest at the state
capitol;
Senator Elliott, of Boomers
Ferry, is on the job all the time.
He is one of the most distinguished
appearing members of the senate,
and knows what he is there for
He can be counted on to be on the
right side of every question that
may come before the legislature.
Hon. H. B. CARAT is becoming
more popular every day as mem
Der of the house. He was Johnny
on the Spot with the Bonner coun-
ty division bill, which was intro
duced as House Bill No. /. 1t is
expected that it will go through
both branches of the legislature,
and then Boundary county will be
an assured fact. (But don't hur-
rah until you get the signal
1t seems from all sides comes the
expectation that the present legis-
lature will excel any former one in
passage of wise and helpful legisla-
ton, will undo much of the unwise
legislation of the past, and gener-
ally will give a good account of it.
self. 1t is to be hoped that party
politics will be absolutely barred
and that every legislator here will
realize that he is here for the best
interests of the state first, and then

DEMOCRATS
FAVOR DIVISION
Send Resolutions to Governor Alexan-
der and Every Member Of the
State Legislature
NOT One DISSENTING VOTE
Many Local Democrats Attend Jackson
Day Celebration


democrats of Bonner county met at
Standpoint last Friday evening at a
Jackson Day banquet, given in
commend of Andrew Jack
son, the great apostle of democracy.
The banquet was given by the Bon
ner County Democratic Club, and
over 100 members and guests sat
down to the banquet board, among
whom was large delegation from
Ronners Ferry.
A number of speeches were de-
livered eulogizing the sterling char
acteristics of the former president,
and also discussing other subjects
of present interest. Chas. O'Cal-
laghan, of this city, was called upon
to respond to the toast, Boundary
County" and did so in a forceful
and pleasing manner. Later in the
evening, DIR. Leo Reich, also of
this city, introduced a resolution
favoring county division. The reso-
luton called forth thorough dis
cussion, and after several had spo-
ken, it was adopted without dis
senting vote. A copy of the reso-
luton will be sent to every member
of the legislature and also to Gov
ernor Alexander, and is as follows
Be it resolved by the democrats
OF Bonner county and of the pro-
posed new county of Boundary that
we heartily endorse and approve
the movement for the division of
Bonner County and the creation of
Boundary county, in the manner
provided in the bill now pending in
the legislature of the State of Idaho;
and we earnestly ask that every
member of both houses of the legis-
lature give this measure their
hearty supports and we respectfully
ask His Excellency, the Governor
of the State of Idaho, to approve
this bill by aftixing his official sig
nature thereto, upon its passage by
the Legislature.
We make the foregoing requests
for the reason that we believe that
the passage and approval of this
bill is for the best interests of all
interested parties. !"
This action by the club is espec-
tally pleasing in view of the fact
that it called forth the unanimous
support not only of the Standpoint
citizens but also received the favor
able vote of everyone present, in
Guiding leading democrats from
Priest River, Hope and other sec
tons OF the county.
Attorney Frank Bottum and Rev.
!. V. Stanley of Boomers Ferry
we're also called upon and respond
ed with appropriate remarks.
Other action taken by the club
was the sending of congratulatory
telegram to Governor Alexander
/, and the adoption of a resolution
favoring the formation of new
state out of the panhandle of Idaho
and eastern Washington.
Those attending from Boomers
Ferry were: Chas. O'Callaghan,

COUNTY DIVISION BILL PASSES
HOUSE BY UNANIMOUS VOTE

All precedents were broken this morning when
the House of Representatives of the Idaho State
Legislature passed the Bonner county division bill
providing for the creation of Boundary county out
OF the northern half of Bonner county, without
single dissenting VOTE the 81 members of the House
voting for the measure The bill will now 90 to
the Senate where it is predicted by all that it will
receive an equally favorable reception. Upon the
passage of the bill by the Senate it must be signed
by Governor Alexander before it goes into effect.
There seems to be reason to believe that Cover
nor Alexander will not sign the bill.
