appropriation Ordinance Carrying $25,OOO Is
Passed. Levy Increased This Year

The city council held a meet
ing Tuesday evening and passed
the appropriation ordinance. At
the regular meeting, July 3rd, an
adjournment was taken To Mon
day, July AZ, for the purpose of
passing the appropriation ordin-
ance and listening TO any protests
which might be made against va
eating the streets and alleys ad-
iacent to the right of way west or
the depot, for which the railroad
company had petitioned. There
was not quorum present Mon
day evening and the meeting was
postponed until Tuesday evening.
IL looked for time as though
it would be impossible to get
enough members present ON that
evening to pass the appropriation
but a quorum was finally secured
and the ordinance was passed.
this being all the business trans
acted.
No bills had been audited or al
lowed since the beginning of the
fiscal year and the men who have
been employed by the city install
ing meters and working on the
streets have not had their pay
since the first of April because no
warrants could be drawn until
the appropriation ordinance had
been passed and published. The
publication of the ordinance will
not be completed until July %
but it was the intention of the
council to audit and allow the
bills at the meeting Tuesday even
ing. Councilman Cook. who is
Ia member of the finance commit
tee, refused however to remain
after the appropriation ordinance
was passed and incidentally he
scored other members for not
getting to the meetings on time.
Some of the members of the
council have formed the habit of
arriving late at the meetings and
the sessions are usually prolonged
until after midnight. Mr.. Cook
was present on Monday evening
and waited for some time for a
quorum. Again on Tuesday he
was present and waited for some
time but finally left to look after
his theatre. Four of the coun-
cilmen finally got together and

Revive Plan To
Dredge River

The farmers along the st. Joe
and Occur d'Alene rivers are again
agitating the question of dredg-
the Spokane river where it leaves
COeur d'Alene lake i'm order to do
away with the high water and the
overflow of the low lands along
the rivers in the spring. A mass
meeting of all the property own
ers along the two rivers will be
called soon to discuss the matter
and try and make arrangements
for having the work done.
The question was agitated
three years ago and arrangements
were practically completed for
having the work done when the
supreme court declared the drain
age law void and the project was
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1916-07-21

dropped. Since that time the
law has been amended and it is
now possible to create large
drainage district to include all of
the bottom land along the two
rivers and TO issue bonds TO raise
the necessary money for the pro
jcct. IL is estimated that it will
cost about $3.50 per acre To COM
plete the project and when it is
completed there Will be no more
danger of damage from overflow.
A. A. Darknell of this city was
one of the leading spirits i'm the
movement three years ago and he
still believes that IL is the only
practical solution of the overflow
problem besides being much
cheaper than the building of dykes
along the river, which are liable
to break i'm extreme high water.

Martin Would
Be Representative

Perley Martin is seeking the
Republican nomination for repre-
sentative i'm the state legislature
and has an announcement of his
candidacy in this issue of The
Record. He was among the first
settlers of what is now Benewah
County, having come to what is
now st. Maries in May, 1892, and
he is still living on a part of
the homestead he filed on at that
time.
He has seen the territory that
was then Kootenai county divid-
ed into four prosperous and grow
ing counties and has seen st.
Maries grow from collection Of
three or four houses into an en-
terprising city OF three thousand
inhabitants. He has always been
public spirited and has done all
i'm his power to assist in building
Up the city. He has held the
confidence of the people as is evil
denced by the fact that for more
than half the time since the place
was first organized as a village
he has been called upon to serve
as a member of the board of trus-
tees and for a greater part of the
time was its chairman.
Mr. Martin is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the needs Of the
community and county i'm legis-
lative way and if nominated and
elected should maze valuable
representative.

c. Van DeuSen
Visitor Here
WILL BE CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR
Is The Man Whose Investigations Brought about
Arrest Of Allen A d Coleman

Clarence Van Duesen of Boise.
the man who first called the at
tention of the public to State
Treasurer Aliens loans from the
State Land Board to dummies and
aiterward made the investigations
which led to the exposure and ar
rest of Allen and Deputy State
Treasurer Fred Coleman for en-
bezzling state money, was in tho
city yesterday.
Mr.. Van Duesen says that the
peculatiOns of Allen and Coleman
were we'll known i'm Boise before
their exposure was made public
and that the editor of the States-
man was aware of them at the
time he was defending Allen i'm
the columns of his paper. He
stated ghat there were twenty
two prominent politicians and
contractors of Boise and else
where, including state officers and
employees who were connected
with Allen and Coleman and were
benefited by their manipulations.
He also stated that Coleman was
spending money at the rate of
twenty-five thousand dollars per
year and that the pubic i'm Boise
was positive that something was
wrong i'm the Office before the ex-
posures were made public.
Mr.. Van Duesen still insists
that the figures which he FIRST
gave out that the defalcations
amounted to 100000 were cor
rect and that if the matter had
been thoroughly gone into the
investigation would have revealed
that figure.
Mr.. Van Duesen is an expert
and has been emplov-
ed recently in auditing the rec
ords i'm Canyon and Blaine coun-
ties and has unearlhed large
shortages in both of these coun-
lies. His exposures i'm Canyon
ounty brought about the removal
OF the assessor from Office for
defalcation a short time ago and
the matter is now i'm the courts.
Mr.. Van Duesen will. i'm all
probability, be the Democratic
candidate for state auditor this
fall and will make thorough
campaign of the state. He ex-
rccts to devote eight weeks to
the northern part of the state ad-
dressing the voters in every city
and town and will visit this CITY
again later i'm the summer. He
is very confident of Democratic
success this fall and feels sure
of the reelection Of President
Wilson and Governor Alexander
and predicted the election of the
entire Democratic state ticket.

Large Crowd At
PIummer Celebration
ST. MARIES PEOPLE ARE IMPRESSED
Speak Highly Of Enterprise And Get-TOgether
Spirit Manifested In That City

A large crowd from here at
tended the celebration of the an
niversary of the founding of
Plummer held i'm that city We'd
nesday. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made To secure a spec
ial train for the occasion, the on
ly concession received being per-
mission to ride i'm the caboose on
freight trains. Only a few avail
ed themselves of the latter priv
ilege, most of those who went
from here taking the early train
and arriving home again about
four o'clock the next morning.
According to the report brought
back the celebration was very
successful one, especially i'm the
number of persons attending
which was Variously estimated at
between 1900 and 1000. The
celebration itself was also we'll
spoken of, particularly the horse
racing, which was very interest
ing. The ball game between
Harrison and Worley was one
sided, Harrison winning so easily
that the spectatos.s lost interest.
Plummer has a good half mile
race track, inside of which is the
base ball diamond. A grand stand
and bleachers have been built so
as to accommodate both the race
track and the diamond and cap
able of seating five hundred peo-
pie. These were crowded to the
utmost and were only about hair
large enough to accomodale the
visitors.
The grounds have been pur-
chased and cleared This year, the
race track and ball ground made
and the grand stand and fence
built. 1T was most surprising
to the visitors from this city that
the people of Plummer could ac-
cOmplish this i'm such short
time and they could not but ad-
mire the Get Together" spirit
and enterprise shown by the peo-
pie of that town. 1t shows that /
every man there is a booster and !
he demonstrates the fact by con-
tributing literally, both of time |
and money, TO any enterprise for
the benefit of the community
They set an example and show
a spirit that many larger COM
munities, including this, could !
copy with advantage. The ST. |
Maries Fair Association has been |
in existence four years and i'm all |
that time has not been able to Sc /
cure its own grounds and never |
has it been able to bring out as
large a crowd as was present at
Plummer.
The only drawback which the
people from here found was the
inability of Plummer to furnish |
hotel Accommodations. As the train !
which it was necessary to take to |
get home that night was several !
hours late, many would have pre-
ferred to stay there over night but |
this was impossible as there were !
no sleeping Accommodations. Il
