N'Hl were hillcu VII lHc MdluSuI
National Forest by a method
which Supervisor Bingham has
found very successful. In one
month last winter Mr.. Bingham
killed 80 coyotes in the vicinity
ct John Day, devoting only half
his time to the work. For the
benefit of those who have been
the victims of these mad animals,
an extract from Supervisor Bing-
.ltm's report on his method of
dealing with the coyotes is given
herewith:
"A POISON should be selected
that will !ose its effectiveness in
a short time after being placed,
50 that il case it is not picked up
10y a coyote it will do no damage.
The Northwest Hide & Fur Co.,
Minneapolis, Mimi, sells a poison
of this character in the shape of
a small capsule containing enough
poison to Immediately kill a coy
ote. The price is $l.75 per 100
capsules. In ordering these cap
sules. it must be stated for what
purpose they are intended so that
the proper size will be secured.
Different sized capsules are re-
quired for different animals.
These capsules are called Sure
death poison capsules.
TO prepare capsules for use,
take a roll of old butter, prefer
ably a little rancid. Warm it un-
til it is soft enough to handle
well, but not enough to melt it.
Care must be used not to touch
the butter with the hands. Use
a small wooden paddle that has
no human scent to it. With this
paddle cut off a piece Of butter
about the size Of marble; lay it |
on an unscented board and hatten |
it out; place the capsule on the
strip Of butter: roll the butter
around the capsule, leaving it as
nearly round as possible. Take.
a small pair Of wooden pinchers
and place the butter rolls in a
jar that is free from scent. Never
use metal to handle the butter or
capsules. always wood"
Then let the butter rolls freeze
Or harden and keep them in a
cool place until used. The car
,ass of an old COW or hors. should

operations must be done from

oyotos away. Throw two or l
hree dozen capsules around the s
arcass, either in the snow or !

ion. Mr.. Bingham says: !
TOO much emphasis cannot be I
aid on the necessity Of le,. wing

oisoned rolls Of butter, or on the c
round about the carcass. Fire

Inc might occasionally be able to r

Will WrestIe June 18th

Arrangements are practically
complete for the much talked-of
wrestling match between Blacky"
Herbert and Claire Des Voignes
and the date has been set for June
10th at Kent's hall. There will be
two preliminaries. Both principals
of the wrestling match are working
out daily and both are in prime
condition. The match will be to
the finish, best two falls out of
three, catch as catch can. Herbert
and Des Voignes wrestled a solid

match was declared a draw. A
good sized side bet is placed on the

JAMES DEYOE
COMMISSIONER
Appointment Of lanes Fitzpatrick is
Renowned by the GOVERNOR
Friends Disappointed
BUSH GETS HIS COMMISSION
New Appointee is Thoroughly Compe-
tent for the Position

On Tuesday of this week Cover
nor Alexander appointed James
Deyoe one of the three commission
ers of Boundary county in place of
James Fitzpatrick whose name was
endorsed by the Democratic county
central committee and who was
first announced as the choice of the
governor. Deyoe received his COM
mission this morning as did also
James c. Bush, county assessor.
The list of county officials is now
complete. The appointment of
Deyoe came as a surprise to every
one in the new county of Boundary
and it is conceded that his appoint
ment was intended to be a compro-
mise between the faction of the
Democratic party which wished
that Fitzpatrick be given the Office
and the faction that so bitterly OPP
posed Fitzpatrick. Whether the
dark horse" appointee will result
in the hoped for compromise or not

PETITION TO RETAIN FITZPATRICK
Boundary County Citizens Want Fiiz-
patrick for County Commissioner

WheL the announcement was
made recently that Governor Alex
ander contemplated renouncing the
appointment of James Fitzpatrick
for county commissioner of the
new county of Bonner, hundreds
of letters were forwarded to the
Governor asking both for explana-
tons o. the proposed act and also
that the Governor should not
change the appointment which was
unanimously favored by the pre-
cinct committeeman of the demo
cratic organization of Boundary
county.
This week the friends of Mr.
Fitzpatrick have circulated a NUM-
Der of petitions in which the Gov
ernor is assured of Fitzpatrick :
loyal democracy and asking that
he be the appointee for county
commissioner. The petitions have
been signed by democrats and re-
publicans alike and it is claimed
that not single person has ex
pressed any unwillingness to sign
in fact the circulation of the peti
tons has given additional evidence
that the choice of Mr.. Fitzpatrick
for an official of Boundary county
was the most popular of any made
Governor Alexander has beef
asked to defer making a final de
cision in the matter until the peti
tons reach him.

CLAIM BILL
IS DEFECTIVE
Rumor Has 1t Effort Will Be Made to
Slave Off Division of Bonner
County
ANTI-DIVISIONISTS ARE SECRET
No Definite News Of Plan to Be
Worked Out

There is a we'll defined rumor go
ing the rounds in certain parts of
Bonner county that a movement to
prevent the organization of Boun-
dairy county is quietly being encour-
aged and plans are already made to
accomplish this at the last moment.
Just how such an unfriendly act
may be brought about is difficult to
imagine but from the information
available it is claimed that enough
defects and conflicts in the law
creating the new county have been
discovered to justify taking the
matter into the courts and thus
prevent the organization in July as
contemplated by the law.
The Boundary bill as introduced
into the legislature last winter was
conceded to be one of the most
carefully drawn county division
bills ever written in this state.
While we do not believe it can be
successfully attacked, it is evident
that any court proceedings which
might be instituted would have the
effect of preventing the establish
ment of the new county at the date
set and would probably delay it in
definitely. Just how the case will
reach the court we are unable to
say, but it has been suggested that
injunction proceedings to prevent
the transmission of the records and
moneys from the old to the new
county on the allegation that the
law was defective as to its provis-
ions for making these transfers,
would be the most probable pro-
ceeding. Such an action. even if
not sustained in the district court,
would be appealed to the supreme
court for final decision with the re-
suit of months of delay and the
possibility of Boundary county
losing out in the long run. OF
course all such rumors may be
without any foundation in fact but
it is we'll known that there are
many anti-divisionists who have
never become reconciled to the sep
aration of Bonner county who
would welcome and support any
scheme to defeat the wishes of the
northern part of the county for
self government.
Those who have fought for
Boundary during the past years so
persistently will not be apt at this
late date to fail in anything need
full to finish the work so near COM
pletion.

Will Build New School House

7. L. Edwards, of Copeland, was
in Boomers Ferry yesterday and an
nounced that the Copeland district,
of which Mr.. Edwards is clerk,
would build new $4,000 school
house this summer. 1t appears
that bonds in that amount were
voted three years ago by the dis
trict but the erection of the build
ing has been delayed by the failure
to agree on a site. This difficulty
has now been adjusted and it is
planned to have the building ready
for the fall term of school.
The new structure will be a
frame building, will have two
rooms, and dimensions will be ap-
proximately 5Ox75 feet.

rived through the opening of the
new auto highway through the

was assured that eastern motorists
coming by way of Missoula would
first wish to visit the Yellowstone
National Park and then the Glacier

motorists preferred retracing a

miles of their trip, at the same
time going over a road far superior

rick himself never sought the APP
pointment. 1t was urged that he
accept it when it was offered. He
has not actively carried on a cam
paign in the recent fight to keep
the announced appointment. 1t
was his friends from all over the
county that advised headquarters
of the wisdom of his appoint
ment, and at this time Fitzpatrick S
friends are anxious to take the mat
ter into the courts to find out
whether or not Governor Alexander
exceeded his authority in renounc-
ing the appointment.
Mr.. McColl, now commissioner
of Bonner county, stated to the
Herald last evening that he was not
sure that he would come to Bound
airy county but that he might yet
elect to remain in Bonner county
and finish his term there. Mr..
McColl has nearly a month yet in
which to make his decision and in
this time there may be develop
ments which will change the aspect
of affairs all round.

Want Garbage Wagon Monthly

At the meeting of the town trus-
tees Tuesday night the petition of
the Civic Improvement Club in
which the trustees were asked to
provide team and wagon once
month to be used in hauling
away rubbish from the various
homes of the city, was read and
discussed. The trustees seemed
willing to do anything to help the
Civic Improvement Club in making
Boomers Ferry clearly and beauti-
full and it appeared to be the con-
census of opinion that the service
requested would not be needed
more than once quarter. Def
mite action will be taken at another
meeting.

remains to be seen.

At any rate it would seem that
with the exception of Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick Governor Alexander could
hardly have chosen a more capable
official than Mr.. Deyoe who, it is
understood, has served in this ca
pacity in other states making a
most creditable record for himself.
The new appointee is not widely
known as he is a man who has paid
strict attention to his own business
during his sojourn in this district
and so far has refused to be drawn
into petty local strife. He has been
a successful farmer and has, in his
own personal dealings, shown a
rare sense of business dealings and
economy which augurs well for his
ability to handle the affairs of the
county. The same is also true of
the other two commissioners, H.
L. Shively and D. c. McColl, who
need no introduction to the taxpay-
ers of Boundary county by reason
of their long residence here and
the fact that they are well-known
to large majority of the residents
of the county.
The refusal of Governor Alexan-
der to appoint James Fitzpatrick as
commissioner comes as a deep dis
appointment to Mr.. Fitzpatrick s
friends. And right along this line
it may be stated in all fairness and
truithfulness that, outside of q
dozen politicians, practically every
citizen of Boundary county is proud
to acknowledge Jim" Fitzpatrick
as his or her friend. Mr.. Fitzpat

TO ADVERTISE
AUTO HIGHWAY
Spokane, Libby, Standpoint and Bon
ners Ferry Represented at Meet
ing Held Here Wednesday
READY FOR AUTOS JUNE 18TH
Most Scenic Auto Road in Whole Of
Northwest

Representatives from Libby,
Mont. Standpoint, Idaho, and
Spokane, Wash, were entertained
at banquet at O'Clock Wednes
day afternoon at the Idaho hotel
where the matter of securing pub
licity for the northern route of the
National Parks Automobile high
way by way of Libby, Boomers
Ferry and Standpoint was discussed.
Standpoint was represented by
w. c. Ames, M. w. Foster, An
drew Christensen and w. J. Davis;
Libby was represented by w. J..
Wells, president of the Libby
Chamber of Commerce, and Spo-
kane was represented by L. H.
Brown, of the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce.
G. w. Spoerry presided over the
meeting and from talks made by
the several representatives of the
different towns it was gathered
that the best publicity plan was the
issuance of a special pamphlet
showing a detailed map of the
northern highway through the
Kootenai valley and along the
Kootenai river which should be
profusely illustrated and contain
information valuable to motorists.
On motion Chairman Spoerry ap-
pointed a committee of fve-C. E.
Moore, of Boomers Ferry, chair
man; P. B. Bernard. of Kalispell
Mont, L. H. Brown, of Spokane,
w. c. Ames, of Standpoint, and
w. J. Wells of Libby-which was
given power to act in. any way
deemed advisable. This committee
will meet in the next ten days at
Kalispell where they will make a
tour of the entire section of the
new highway which is to be adver-
tised, taking with them photog-
rapher and a specialist to have
charge of the write-up. The liter
ature will probably be gotten out
in the next thirty days as the high
way will be open by the 18th Of
June.
The only uncompleted aud i'm
passable sections Of the new high
way are on the Montana side where
there are only about 900 feet o.
road to be made. This stretch i:
through solid rock and Mr.. Well:
assured the gathering that it wa:
absolutely certain the road woult
be finished even before June 18th
and that when completed Lincoln
county will have spent $780, 900 OF
its portion of the auto road anC
could boast of the best auto boule
ward through mountainous country
in the Northwest. This section o
the road averages p feet in width
said Mr.. Wells, aud in no place j
the road less than 10 feet in widtl
and it is cut through the mos
beautiful sections of mountain
scenery in western states.

COLLARS TO HAVE THEIR DAY.

Collars will have their day on many
frocks for fall. Despite the resistance
which popular opinion seems to exert
against the re-entry of the choker, that
relic of other days and modes bids fair
to dominate the collar styles for today.
Boned and high and tight-these
three rules provide the indissoluble
trinity of rigidity from which no self
respecting collar of the 1915 fall vint-
age may reasonably hope to escape.
For one piece dresses of serge or
gaberdine, white collars of broadcloth.
flannel or net are to be prolfered.
These will obviously close in front
with a row Of tiny buttons from top
to bottom. indicating the line of abra-
sion. but not their usage. for they are
to be decorative merely.
Tabs, turnovers and fiaring Eliza
bethan ruff effects will seem TO be
wildly trying to emerge from the top

matter how tight they are. we will
