RutledSe Will
Build Mill
BE LOCATED AT COUER d'ALENE
Let Fifty Million Logging Contract on Marble
Creek to Carey and Harper

Advises from Occur d'Alene are
that the Rutledge Timber com
pany will erect a sawmill on their
site i'm that city. The matter has
been hanging fire for several
weeks pending negotiations with
the Inland Empire Railway COM
pany for cOmp )n user contract
with that company whereby all
the railroad companies running
into Coeur d'Alene would have
the right to- run trains over the
Inland Empire track to the pro-
posed mill.
According to statement made
by the general manager of the
Inland Empire system, although
common user of the track has
not been arranged for, shipping
arrangements have been entered
into that are entirely salisfac-
tory To the Rur ,dge people and
the mill will be built.
As further confirmation of
the story that the mill is to be
built this summer, is the fact that
the Rulledge Timber company has
within the last few days closed
contract with Carey q Harper of
Coeur d'Alene to cut fifty million
feet of logs for them ON Marble
Creek. This is in addition to
the large contract made with the
same logging firm last spring.
Carey & Haper have had large
force of men at work all summer
and portion of the logs which
they cut went down with the
Siack-Gibbs drive out of Marble
creek.
With the additional contract
which they now have, an addition
al force of men will be put to
work and the drive which they
will send out of Marble creek next
spring will be an extremely large
one. The David Dollar Logging
company also has a large crew Of
men at work on Marble creek
logging for the Stack-Gibbs Lum-
her company and the two drives
combined will make the largest
drive ever sent out of that creek.

Probate Judges Not
allowed Deputies

Probate judges and county sup
erintendents cannot employ dep
uties if the ruling of County At
tOrney Moore of Latah county is
correct. He has rendered all
opinion TO the commissioner or
that county, according TO reports,
and recommends that the claim
OF deputy in the probate court
be disallowedw. If the conten-
tlon of County Attorney Moore is
correct, probate judges and coun-
ty superintendent in practically
every county in the state where
deputies are being employed, are
being employed illegally and can
not be paid by county funds. Mr..
Moore's opinion is extensive and
quotes the law and decisions of
the supreme court. He asserts
the claim of Miss Mcdonald is
not a valid one and says there is
no constitutional authority for
the appointment of a deputy in
the offices of the probate court
and county superintendent, al
though in the Office of the super
intendent there may be employed
a deputy or clerk under certain
circumstances.
The contention in this opinion,
il correct, would only affect the
probate judge in this county. The
superintendent of schools has no
deputy but a clerk or deputy is
employed in the Office of the pro-
bate judge.

Protest Against Fed

In response to numerous peti-

Warden Jones has registered with

biological survey, a vigorous pro-
test against discrimination shown

Dear Sir: Under date of May

TO the fact that this law is unfair

about by some advantages taken

First National
Bank Organizes
LEON DeMERS ELECTED PRESIDENT
Bank will Open for Business Within Two Weeks
in KOOtena Bank Building

The stockholders of the new
First National bank held a meet
ing Saturday afternoon at the Of
fees of William ID. Keeton and
partially affected an organization
Of the bank. A board of direct
ors was elected composed OF the
following Leon De Mers, William
Trueman, Fred Herrick, VIM. ID.
Keeton, DR.. w. f. Clarke, A. c..
Wunderlick and II. b. Hay. The
stockholders expressed them
selves as we'll satisfied with the
manner in which the promoters
conducted the affairs of the bank
and the success that attended
their efforts to secure charter
for the institution.
At the conclusion of The stock
holders meeting a meeting of the
directors was held at which Leon
De Mers was elected president and
William Trueman vice president
of the new bank. There was so
much business i'm the way of max
ing arrangements for getting the
bank started that there was not
time To tranact it all and an ad-
jOurnment was taken until Thurs
day afternoon of this week.
Among the other matters left UNI
finished was the election of a as
sistant cashier and cashier and
they will be chosen at the Thurs
day meeting.
The officers and directors of the
new bank are all local men and
are for the most part pioneers OF
ST. Maries and are all now or have
been at some time engaged i'm bus
mess in the city They have all
made successes of their busi-
nesses and are known to be safe,
conservative and tworthy
business men.
Mr.. De Mers, president of the
bank informs us that it will be
open and doing business within
the next twOweeks. IL will prob
ably open in the building former
ly occupied by the Kootenai Coun-
ty State bank if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made. These
arrangements, however, will be
only temporary as the directors
Of the bank are planning on put
ting up a building for its use.
The cost of this building is not
to be taken out of the twenty
five thousand dollars capital
stock as the stock was all placed
at a premium and this premium
will be sufficient TO erect the
building. All of the capital stock
was paid for in cash. Not a
single note was accepted and
when the bank opens its doors il
will be with the full capital stock
in cash in its vaults
