from the viewpoint of the parents
and Prof. Lukns has consented to
give some of the benefits which
schools have received where med
ical inspection has been adopted.
In addition to these speakers
it is hoped that there will be a
general discussion, on the subject
as a round table talk" The
committee has also arranged for
some musical selections to be
rendered by the pupils.
The meeting is a very import
ant one and it is hopd that all OF
the parents who possibly can, as
we'll as all Of the teachers will be
present at this meeting. There
will be short intermission to
afford the parents and teachers
an opportunity to become better

Parent Teacher
Assn To Meet
IMPORTANT MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT
Health Of Pupils Will be Subject of Discussion
Medical inspection in Schools

The Parent-Teacher associa-
ton will hold a regular meeting
next Friday evening. The sub
ject to be taken up is a very i'm
portant one, the health of the
pupils in school. This is one of
he most important subjects that
will be taken up and we believe
that much could be done to pre-
vent illness among the pupils by
an intelligent cooperation on the
)art of the board OF education, the
teachers and the parents.
The subject is not given the at
tention that its Importance de-
mands, either in the first instance
by seeing to it that the rooms are
properly ventilated, or by the par
onts or teachers. This is not be-
,ause they do not realize the i'm
portance of the subject but rather
rom ignorance or lack of time.
In preparing the program for
this meeting the committee has
9ndeavored to secure the persons
who not only understand the i'm
portance of the subject but the
needs of the schools and the
pupils along this line. DR.. C. J
Kinsolving will handle the sub
iect from the physicians stand
)oint and will show the need Of
medical inspection of the schools.
DR.. w. f. Clarke will take up
he subject from the standpoint
IF the dentist and will show the
necessity Of the parents taking
care that the teeth of their chill
iren are kept in proper condition.
He will show that many of the
ailments of the children are di-
rectly tracable to bad teeth and
both he and Dr.. KinsOlving will
show how necessary it is that the
health Of the child be kept good
if good work in his studies is ex-
pected. DR.. Clarke has sent for
some slides and hopes that they
Twill be here in time so that he can
illustrate his remarks with views
Thrown upon a screen.

Charles A. Cooper
Is Aquitted

The second case of the State
vs.. Charles A. Cooper of Plummer
a prosecution due to an alleged
taking of wood by the defendant
in the custody of the sheriff, was
decided Saturday by Justice Keet-
on in favor of the defendant. In
rendering his opinion Mr.. Keeton
remarked that while there was a
probability of guilt the facts
were not clear enough to con-
vince him beyond a reasonable
doubt of the guilt of the defend
ant. There was no evidence that
he defendant removed the wood,
in person, and no evidence that
he owned it. Other parts of the
evidence were in conflict. Dis
interested persons who heard the
case state that the evidence was
not clear on several points. C.
S. Malone of Plummer defended
the case and Prosecuting Attor-
ny Ed S. Elder represented the
State.

j. McFadden appeared as attor-
ney for the plaintiff and Attorney
James P. BeesOn of Tekoa, with
VIM. d. Keeton as counsel rep
resented the defendant.
The case was pending on a ci-
tation of the defendant for con-
tempt for not having paid alimony
and suit money as ordered by the
court. He had been cited to ap-
pear before Judge Dunn at Occur
d'Alene but on the day which he
was to appear neither Judge Dunn
nor Judge Flynn were in that city.
He claimed to have appeared as
|Ordered. This was the only ci-
tation and as he had appeared
the judge was of the opinion that
he could not be held on the con-
tempt proceedings at this time.
This matter was left for fur
ther argument and the case was
put on trial. The action was
warmly contested and a number
Of witnesses were examined on
each side. The case is still on
trial but is expected to be finished
today.
The case of Luce VS.. Luce is
set to follow this one and that
will be followed by Jahnke VS..

Reports Taxes
Coming Nicely
MOSTLY SMALL PROPERTY OWNERS
Very Few Take Advantage Of One-haIf Payment
Law. Ninety Per Cent Pay in Full

County Treasurer +. M. Davis
reports that taxes are coming in
in very nice shape. AS yet none
of the corporations and large tax
payers have paid but the small
taxpayers and those whose taxes
run up to the $4,000 mark are
paying up rapidly.
A thing that is somewhat of a
surprise is that hardly any Of
those who are paying now are
taking advantage of the law which
permits one-hal' of the taxes to
be paid now and the balance in
June. Mr.. Davis states that
from ninety to ninety-fve per
cent Of those who have paid have
paid the full tax.
There are comparatively few Of
those who have paid so far that
are objecting to the amount Of
the tax. In most of the cases
the taxes have been less than they
Wfe last year, ana IN a Few m
stancs they hav been higher. The
rate is lower this year than last
and the few instances where the
tax has been higher are where by
IAN inequality of assessment the
parties got off last year with less
taxes than they should have paid
Assessor Reynolds and the
board of review took a great deal
of pains this year to make the as
sessment as nearly equal as pos
'ible. In doing this they found
it necessary to vaise the valua-
tions on some property and it is
those people whose valuations
were raised who are finding their
axes higher.

Bound Over TO
Federal Court

The preliminary examination
of James Mckinney was heard
before United States Commits
sioner Geo. j. McFadden in this
city last evening. Mckinney was
arrested by the sheriff in connec-
ton with the shipping of two
trunks full of whiskey from Spo-
kane, an p count of which ap-
peared in our last issue, and was
turned over to the Federal au-
hOrities. The particular charge
against him was shipping whiskey
from one state into another not
having it properly labelled, which
violation of the Interstate
Commerce law.
Frank Matt, night baggage
nan at the Milwaukee depot, was
the principal witness for the
prosecution. He told of the two
trunks being checked from SpO-
kane and put off here at the re-
quest of the defendant. He stated
stated that Mckinney presented
the checks and asked for the
trunks, stating that they were his
property. Other witnesses were
also examined but his was the
principal testimony.
Mckinney took the stand in his
lwn defense and denied that the
trunks were his property or that
le had told Matz that they were.
He admitted being in Spokane
that day and having rode out here
on one Of the tickets on which
me of the checks was issued but
claimed that the ticket was pur-
chased by another party and Civ
cn to him and that the other par
ty owned the trunks and checked
them. He refused to give the
name of this second party, taking
advantage of that law by which
a party may refuse to answer g
question if the answer would tend
TO incriminate himself.
Attorney R B. Norris appeared
for the defendant and argued thal

The board of county commits
sioners have been in session since
yesterday considering tax matters
and they have ordered a number
of pieces of property which had
been omitted from the orTanal
tax roll placed on a subssff5cQt

They also ordered the property
.of number of utilities corpora
tions, which had been missed by
the state, placed on this roll.
Among these was the property OF
the Interstate Utilities company,
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
and the Plummer Water and
Light company. The easements
Of the Washington Water Power
Company in this county were also
ordered placed on this roll. The
tax on these easements alone
amounts to $1,000 90 and taking
it altogether the subsequent tax
roll will represent a considerable
sum for the county.

Lumber Business
Picking Up
LOCAL MILLS BUSY FILLING ORDERS
Business Never Better Than Now Says Mr. HerriCk
Car Shortage Feared

The local mills are beginning
to feel the effcts of the revival OF
the lumber market and orders are
pouring in rapidly at the present
time.
Fred Herrick of the Milwaukee
Lumber company, when seen by
a representative Of the Record,
was very optimistic. He sald
that prosperity is already here and
that business was never better in
the lumber trade than it is now.
I'VE are rushed with ORDERS" he
said, "and are shipping as fast
as we can get men to load the
cars; and that is not all, the price
Of lumber is going up every day.
Things never looked brighter than
thy do right now"
Asked about car shortage, he
stated that they were shipping
mostly to Montana now and up
to the present time had had no
difficulty in getting all the cars
needed. He said, however, that
from the reports he had received
he would not be surprised if a
car shortage came at any time.
The Milwaukee Lumber COM
pany has been running its mill
steadily day and night for the
past ten months and is in excel
lent condition to take advantage
of the increased demand for lum-
ber and the better prices which
are being paid. Although more
or less lumber was shipped dur
ing the summer, their shipments
did not begin to equal the amount
cut and the company has a large
stock on hand.
j. C. Hunt of the Milwaukee
Land company of st. Joe, when
seen, was not so optimistic as Mr..
Herrick. He stated that there
was no question but what the
lumber business is picking up
and his company is getting a great
many inquiries for lumber as we'll
as a number of orders but not
enough to warrant any excite
: ment. He said, however, that
the number of orders which are
coming in now is much greater
than at any time for a year.
Both mills of the Milwaukee
Land company have been shut
down for several weeks because
of the large stock on hand. Their
piling ground is limited AMI az
they have not been shipping very
extensively during the summer
they had no more room in which
to pile lumber.
Mr.. Hunt stated that their plan
ing mill is running steadily and
they are shipping as fast as pos
sible. They are having trouble
in securing the cars needed and
are shipping about three carloads
day when the would be shipping
twelve if they could secure the
cars.
He looks for a still greater
shortage Of cars within the next
few months. He stated that all
of the railroads of the country
are having the same trouble as
most Of their cars are loaded
with munitions OF war and lying
at the seaports, unable to be un-
loaded because of lack of ships
He thinks that these conditions
will become worse rather than
better.

portunity to do so.
