WANT ENGLISH

FOR USE OF STUDENTS

The following plea for better Eng
lish has been written and submitted
by a member of the Richmond Teach
ers' Federation:
Can the importance of the study of
English in the public schools be over
estimated? It would seem that we
have erred entirely on the other side
and with results such that no one in
any way connected with the public
school system can escape feeling Of
intense concern. It remains for that
concern to become sufficiently i'm

list.

Dog Was Not Guilty.

Probably the first time a dog was
ever tried for his life in Washington
county was on last Thursday, when
a bird dog, owned by H. T. Howard,
was tried on proceedings as to
whether or not he should be killed
for sheep killing. A jury was i'm
paneled, and sworn to pass on the
question of facts as to whether or
not the dog had killed any sheep. 1t
was alleged that the dog had killed
some sheep; on that issue the parties
Joined. The case was hard fought
and both sides introduced consider
able testimony. but the jury had
some doubt evidently as to whether
the dog that had killed the sheep
was the same owned by Mr.. Howard,
and by their verdict they found the
dog not guilty.

FORMERLY POPULAR EXCURSION BOAT
Boat Has Been Out OF Commission For Some Time

The steamer Idaho, the largest
boat belonging to the Red Col
lar line, was burned at the land
ing at Black Rock ON Che west
side of the lake Friday night.
When the fire was discovered the
boat was a mass of flames and as
there was nothing TO fight The fire
with it burned to the waters edge
and was a total loss.
The Idaho has been out of
commission as a passenger boat
for some time and was being used
as a warehouse. The Red Col
lar Line carries a blanket in
surance covering all of its boats
and it is reported that the insur-
ance ON the burned steamer
will cover the loss.
The Idaho was built twelve
years ago by Captain James A.
Spaulding and was the first YES
sci owned by the Coeur d'Alene &
81. Joe Transportation company,
the owner of the Red Collar Line.
For a number of years it was the
most popular boat ON the lake
especially for large excursions
but ii never paid as regular
passenger boat as it cost too
much TO run it and the boat has
mot been used ON the regular rur
since the purchase of the Georgia
Oakes, although it was used after
that time for excursions.
