ASK CHARLES HEITMAN TO COME
Committees Appointed at Meeting Held
Wednesday Nig't

The republicans of Boundary coun-
ty will celebrate Lincoln day Satur-
day night, February 18th, at ban
quet to be held in this city at either
the K. P. or l. o. o. F. hall. Mem
bers of the party from every part
of the county will be asked to at
tend and join in a non-factional get
together meeting, where initiatory
plans will be laid looking forward to
an overwhelming republican victory
at the polls next election.
Preliminary arrangements were
made for the Lincoln day banquet at
a meeting held Wednesday night
when Bartlett Sinclair was elected
chairman and Otto Mathiesen secre-
tary. The meeting was called to
order by Senator f. E. Elliott who
gave a short talk upon the origina-
ton of the Lincoln Day" celebra-
tions.
Upon motion an executive commit
tee was appointed, composed of E. E.
Elliott, W. P. Mahoney, w. T. James,
George c. Wade, A. j. Kent and John
Muhlfeld. The following finance COM
mittee was appointed: Otto Mathie-
sen, E. L. Little, Joseph Banning, w.

Do,c+o. o,,I n Wolob
1t was decided to hold another gen.
eral meeting on Saturday night, jan
uary 18th, when the committee re-
ports would be made and further
plans arranged.
In the course of the meeting there
was a free exchange of views, all
agreeing that the Lincoln day cele-
bration should be made memorable
one. 1t seemed the feeling of all
those present that the event would
afford the republicans of Boundary
county an opportunity to get to-
gether and outline a program for eff
fective and useful service to the dis
trict.
Arrangements will probably be
made to have Charles Hoffman, of
Rathdrum, deliver the principal adj
dress of the Lincoln day celebration
Mr.. Hoffman has been recognized as
a leader of the republicans in state
politics for many years and he is
credited with having originated the
Lincoln day celebration in this state

G. n. RY. MAKES A PROTEST
Sues To Restrain District No. II
From Selling $4,000 Bond Issue

Sues To Restrain District No. II
From Selling $4,000 Bond Issue
Suit was filed this week in the
district court by the Great Northern
Railway company against the trus-
tees of School District No. II, to re-
strain the trustees from selling bonds
in the sum of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of building and equipping a
new schoolhouse. H. H. Taylor, of
Standpoint, and Myrvin Davis, of Bon
ners Ferry, represents the railway
company.
In speaking of the reasons for de-
string to restrain the proposed bond
issue the plaintiff states in the com
plant on file that the defendants "In-
tend to fraudulently and unlawfully
lay out and expend the proceeds of
said bonds for ends and purposes
wholly unauthorized by the laws of
the state" The complaint sets out
that the total assessed value of tax
able real estate in School District
No. II is 396,359.oo and of this
amount the Great Northern railway
pays all but $500. The Idaho Gold
and Ruby Mining company, in the
same district, is assessed at s5,035
for personal property.
In the complaint it is alleged that
$3678.76 was raised for school pur.
poses during the school term of 1915
10. This is sufficient, the plaintiffs
claim, to keep and maintain a schoo
for 2S pupils. 1t is further claimec
that there has been only a gain Of
five families in the district in tn,
past four years. The case will b,
heard before Judge Flynn in Bound
airy county on January 21st.

is AGAINST THE UNIT SYSTEM
l.. E .Lunden Believes County Super
intendents Favor Poor Legislation

To Taxpayers and Parents:
Did you notice the recent press re-
ports from Standpoint which told of
the return of County Superintendent
Ramsey from Boise where he had
just been elected vice president of
the State Superintendent Associa-
ton? He reports an interesting and
successful session Cat who's ex-
pense p. He further reports, if he
is quoted correctly, that this associa-
ton will make an effort to put the
unit system" Gear rule), in effect
in this state, doing away with the
election of school trustees and sup
erintendents, substituting five COM
missioners instead who will appoint
the superintendent, who, in turn will
appoint the teachers. Fine dope.
You taxpayers won't have to serve
on the school board any longer with
out pay. You will pay those five
commissioners 81 800 or $4,000 a year
instead. You won't have to vote fol
who you think best for county sup
erintendent of schools; the commits

You won't have to decide who you
want to teach your children; or what
the teachers salary should be; the
superintendent will attend to that

you won't have to quarrel over what
size schoolhouse you will build OF
over any Improvements you should
have done. No, you leave that tc
the superintendent too. He has al
office at the county seat and ought
to know better than you what you
need. If you don't think so, cuss anc
kick. He won't care; he didn't get
his job from you and don't owe
you anything. You accept the teach.

may be hard on the poor school
ma'ams-it may cost them a months
salary to get job. But at that they
shouldn't object, the superintendent
perhaps had to pay a good price t.

MIKE CASEY
KILLED MONDAY
Was Buried Under Snow and Timbers
When Barn Roof Caves in
Suddenly
BODY SHIPPED EAST FOR BURIAL
Had Lived in This District For the
Past Eight Years

Mike Casey, a resident of the Cur
ley Creek district for over eight
years, met death Monday afternoon
when the roof from which he was
shoveling snow, caved in and he was
buried in several feet of snow and
struck by falling timbers. The body
was shipped yesterday to the birth
place of the deceased at BeIlplain,
Mimi, where the funeral services will
be conducted and interment made.
f. B. Schlette, a neighbor and close
friend of the deceased, accompanied
the corpse.
The accident which resulted in Mr..
Casey's death happened shortly after
the noon hour Monday. Hector Nc
Kenzie and Patrick Kelley were saw
ing wood nearby the barn off of
which Casey was shoveling snow.
They had prepared some coffee and
Mckenzie went to call Casey to
come and have hot drink. His calls
were not answered so he went to the
barn and then noticed that the roof
had fallen in. Casey was not in
sight. His coat and hat were partly
covered with snow and lay to one
side of the wrecked building. Nc
Kenzie called his partner and the
two began to clear away the debris
and snow, finally finding Casey bur-
led under three feet of snow and
pinned down by the weight of the
rafters across the middle of his
back.
Coroner Reich and Justice of the
Peace Schlette were notified. The
coroner's inquest was held early on
Tuesday morning, Coroner Reich's
verdict being that of death by suf-
location" The trip made by Coroner
Reich and Justice Schlette required
over six hours of driving with the
thermometer registering 81 degrees
below zero.
The deceased was a single man and
lived on his homestead adjoining
that of his brother, Tom Casey, for
the past eight years. He has four
other brothers and a cousin living
at and near Bellplain, MINI.

Emergency Labor Law No Good

Last Saturday the supreme court
of Idaho rendered decision holding
that the emergency employment act
as passed by the legislature last win

cision means that the county COM
missioners will not be required to
give work to unemployed persons.
In Boundary county the bills for such
work as is already done or contract
ed for, will be paid.

BIRDS NESTS A DELICAcY
Edible Dear to Chinese Constitutes ~
Important Part in the Export
Trade Of Siam.

An important item in the export
trade of Siam consists Of edible nests
Of swifts, or swiftlets, as they are
also called. The principal markets
for this trade are China, Hongkong
and Singapore. In Hongkong, it is
said, the demand often exceeds the
supply, and prices range from SIS to
$25 per pound, according to quality.
The first nests constructed in the
season, which are composed Of pure
saliva, are held superior for eating
purposes. They are gathered on COM
pletion before the eggs are laid. The
birds then build again, and the Sec
Ond nests, in which the saliva is mixed
with rootlets, grass, ETC., and often
shows traces of blood, from the ef-
forts made to produce saliva, are also
taken on completion. A third nest Is
then constructed Of extraneOus sub
stances cemented together and the
whole fastened to the wall by little
saliva, the flow of which seems to be
practically exhausted. The birds are
allowed to rear their young in these
nests, which are afterward destroyed
by the nest gatherers, 80 as to compel
the construction of fresh nests the
following year. Edible nests Of swift.
lets are found in the Malay archipel.
ago, Australia, and many of the Pacific
islands. In northern Borneo certain
caves inhabited by these swiftlets pro
duce 1000 worth Of nests every year

Primitive Christian Hymn Book,

pT'Wtt'Ve NnTISeian hymn BOOK.
A famous English scholar, DR.. Rem.
del Harris, has discovered venerable
syriac versian of "The Odes and
Psalms of Solomon" collection Of
ancient hymns that are almost as old
as the books OF the New Testament In
their present form, and in part even
older. In speaking of his discovery,
Doctor Harris said:
In this little book, If my judgment
Is correct, we have for the first time
recovered book of hymns of the ear
ly Christian community, and these
hymns are marked by all the charac-
teristics that we associate with that
great spiritual revival that marks the
early Christian church. They give us
key to primitive Christian expert
ence, just as the rediscovery of the
Olney hymns, or volume of early
Methodist hymns, or Saint Demands
Latin hymns-supposirg any or all Of
these to be lost-would help us to
understand what really went on at the
Methodist revival in England, or In
the great monastic revivals of the
middle ages.
The little book in its first form can
scarcely be later than $50 A. D., and Il
may be earlier. 1t may be as early
as the uncanonical but very valuable
Teaching Of the Apostles In any
case, It brings us 80 close to the days
and the spirit of the New Testament
writings that when we read them, or
sing them, We are in the aureole Of
the first and great confession.-l
