Up near the Canadian border there
are old people who tell you they are
"enjoying a misery" when they mean
that they are suffering from discom-
fort or distress. But there are men
who seem to enjoy misery in very
truth. They wear faces a mile long,
and the neighbors wish they we're q
mile away. A bank failure. industrial
depression, or unrest is to them q
sweet morsel under the tongue: they
revel in famine, pestilence and sud

And they borrow trouble. How easy

CALM, DETERMINED FRANCE

Since the outbreak of the European
war a new country has swum into
the worlds ken. 1t bears the famil
lar name Of France; but it is France
SO different from what it has been
popularity conceived to be as to rank
as a real discovery.
Stray hints of this strange, new
France have come from time to time.
Observers have reported that there
was a mistake somewhere; that this
France which was sticking SO grimly
to the trenches along the frontier
that was digging. working, dying in
the dullest. drabbest and deadliest of
wars-was not the France of the IA
miliar legend.
And now comes further confirma-
ton in the shape of letter received
by the Herald from an American who
has been in France since the war be-
fence and powers of intelligent obser-
walton, known personally to this news
paper. Here is an extract from 1t
that bears upon the point:
THE longer I stay here and the
more | see of the French people and
their army the more l admire the
calm. determined way they have been
fighting this war. and are still fight
ing it. There is no 'swank, no nom
sense. Everybody is working hard
and doing all he can to bring it to
successful end as quickly as possi-
BILE. 1t is true that they are tired
and wish it were over. So far, how
ever, they have not shown any sign
OF desiring to yield"
1t is impossible to resist the cum
ulative evidence. Whatever changes
may be eventually made in the map
of Europe. at least one change has
already been made. Instead of the
old France of popular, superficial
judgment-the impetuous. brave. too
quick despairing France-we must
now substitute France that is calm
and determined-that fights grimly

IMPORTANT CASE IN DISTRICT COURT
William KinzeII Asks For Fifty Thousand Dollars
From Milwaukee Railroad

A very important case was
fled in the district court at Wal
lace Monday entitled William

Mr.. Kinzell has engaged William
ID. Keeton of this city and John

thousand dollars damages for
personal injuries sustained while
i'm the employ of the company as

The action was brought under
the Federal Liability act and the
complaint alleges that the injury
was caused by the negligence of
the company and has totally in
capaciated the plaintin and pre-
vented him from securing en-
ployment at his profession which
is that of an engineer.

Governor Alexander announced
that he would call a special ses-
sion of the legislature next jan

railroad to link the ends of the
state together
He said that the Sleilo canal
was made to use and that if a
railroad can be built connecting
the southern part of the state
with Lewiston, the south and
north will furnish a great guam
tity of traffic for the Columbia.

formidable from the panhandle.
And pressure will be brought TO
bring him out.
Party leaders have been in
formed, they say, that Captain
Davis, who has acted as secretary
of the state committee during
past campaigns, is determined to
get into the gubernatorial race
early and if reports these leaders
have can be relied upon he has al
ready arranged for an early speak
ing tour, having closely dissected
the veto messages and acts of
Governor Alexander, ON whom he
proposes To center his attack,
stumping the state from one end
to the other.
The situation, therefore, which
is rapidly developing brings the
party back to reorganization
plans which have been constantly
talked about and in which it is
claimed Senator Borah will take
no small part. Since his return
to Idaho this states brilliant
senior senator has held a num-
her of conferences with men
prominent in his party.
II is known that several other
conferences will be held to which
other party leaders will be called
and this may lead up to a general
conference of all or many more
of the leaders. II is generally
conceded in Republican circles
that Senator BOrah has the situa-
tion i'm the palm of his hand that
if ne will assume leadership he
will have no difficulty in wedding
out the objectionable elements
and issues before the party and
perfect a harmonious Organiza-
tion. So far Senator Borah has
given no outward intimation Of
lwhat his attitude will be. It is
known by his close friends that
he does not hold the same views
as others do as to the conditions
here and looks at them through
an entirely different glass. When
he moves definitely and his ac-
tion becomes known as definite
there promises to be an awaken

state, it is said@

Nc GiIvaTy Fails To
Secure Discharge

+. C.. Highsmith, attorney for
w. X. Nc Gilvary who is being
held in the county jail awaiting
trial in the district court on the
charge of embezzlement, had his
client before the supreme court
last week on a writ of habeas
corpus and tried to have him re-
leased from custody.
Nc Gilvary's preliminary eX-
animation was held before Chas.
r. Schultz as justice of the peace.
Mr.. Schultz had been elected a
justice of the peace of Kootenai
county and the examination was
held shortly after the county di-
vision bill was passed and signed
by the governor but before the
new county officers of Benewah
county had qualified and one of
the grounds that Mr.. Highsmith
asked for the discharge of his
client ON was lack of jurisdiction
He argued that after the bill
had been signed Mr.. Schultz could
not be a Justice in Kootenai coun-
ty as his precinct was not a par
OF that county and that he could
not become a justice of the new
county of Benewah until after the
new county officers had duly
qualified and The new county haC
actually beee - one of the dul,
lcreated c6sThes of the state
with a full set of duly qualified
officers as provided by law fol

He also raised the question OF

Nc Gilvary's note for the money
which he obtained. the transac-
iion was purely one between ;

Marble Creek
Drive Is Out
LATE RAINS OF GREAT ASSISTANCE
Thirteen Million In Drive-.-NOW Practically All In
ST. Joe River

The rains Of the last few days
nave proved a God-send to the
drives ON The small streams i'm
his section. The largest drive
to come out This season and the
one where the most trouble was
feared is the Marble Greek drive.
Tho Stack-Gibbs Lumber COM
oany has about thirteen million
feet of logs ON that creek to be
brought out this spring. There
was practically no snow i'm the
hills last winter and what little
there was went off early and
gradually leaving no water for
driving purposes.
ID. H. Dollar who has charge
of the driving for the Stack-Gibbs
Lumber company has had several
years experience on Marble creek
and knew every foot of it and
how to take advantage of every
drop of water. BY the use of the
dams ON the creek he utilized all
of the water of the creek. He
had fourteen teams which ne
used in breaking jams as fast as
they formed and so kept the logs
moving all of The time. He also
built dams on the creeks tribu-
tary to Marble creek so he could
gather and hold their water and
turn it into Marble creek at the
time il was most needed and thus
kept the logs moving until now
he has them practically all out
of the creek and into the main
river.
The rear is we'll down towards
the mouth Of the creek and it is
expected that every log of the
drive will be i'm the St. Joe river
