DETECTIVE
FINDS BOOZE
Spokane Man Hunted For Bootleggers
and ViOlators Of State Prohibition
Law Here Last Week
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW
Said To Have Posed As An Insurance
Agent

A Spokane detective spent several
days in the city recently and secured
evidence of illegal possession of in
toXicating liquor in a half dozen
or more instances. AS a result of
his visit Prosecuting Attorney Heigh-
ton has in his possession incriminat-
ing evidence which will be used in
prosecutions which may or may not
follow. G. Anderson was arrested
upon evidence secured by the SpO-
kane detective and plead guilty be-
fore Probate Judge O'Callaghan
Wednesday to the charge of having
unlawful possession of Intoxicating
liquor. He was fined 5000 and
costs.
The detectives identity is not GER
tain to many. Some claim he is
the man who recently came here and
posed as a life insurance agent and
others claim he is the man who
posed as a homeseeker and who
looked over several ranches claiming
that he was DESTROYS of locating
here. He is said to have worked
himself into the good graces of many
local people and having done so
took them to his room and offered
them whiskey. From others he tried
to obtain intoXicants. failing in some
instances and meeting with success
in others.
Sheriff Morley is reticent upon
the subject. He states that the
detective was brought here to assist
in cleaning up bootleggers and not
merely to ascertain who had liquor
in their possession.
1t is claimed that a number of
local people have been on the car
pet before Prosecutor leighton and
that in some instances the offenders
will not be prosecuted if they keep
their promises Of travelling the
straight and narrow road"

Unofficial returns from the pri-
mary election held Tuesday have
been received from every precinct
of Boundary county with the excep-
ton of Leonia. The county COM
missioners planned to meet today to
begin the canvass of the returns.
The vote cast Tuesday was much
larger than anyone anticipated. But
few votes were cast over the county
in the democratic primary owing to
the fact that there were but two
contests in which Hawkins for treas
urer won over Cole by six votes
and Shively for commissioner of the
second district won from Newton by
93 votes.
On the republican ticket the fol-
lowing appear to have received the
nomination sought although in the
case of the contest for commissioner
of the first and second district a
count of the second choice will be
required to decide the matter:
State Senator-W. S. Walker; rep
resentative, A. ]. Kent; commissioner
first district, F. G. Chambers; COM
missioner second district, w. E.
Rath; commissioner third district,
Malcolm Bruce; sheriff, Harry Saw
yer; treasurer, Walter James; pro-
bate judge, f. r. Henderson; county
assessor, Elmer Des Voignes; county
superintendent of schools, Mary F.
w. Dawson; coroner, C. D. Simonds;
prosecuting attorney, o. c. Wilson.
The tabulated report for Boundary
county will be found in another col
umn.
According to the latest reports
from Boise the candidates on the
state tickets who won over their
opponents are as follows:

son T. Smith and Burton L. French;

KATKA FOLKS
IN TROUBLE
Ike Martin Charged With Shooting May
fields Bull-Martins Threaten
To Have Mayfield Arrested
YOUNGER MARTIN is TAKEN TOO
Is Charged With Being a Juvenile
Delinquent

Charged with maliciously shoot
ing bull belonging to A. C. Nav
field, Ike Martin, of Katka, was ar
rested last Saturday by Sheriff Wor-
ley. Steve Martin, younger broth
er, was taken in charge by Worley
and at the time of his brothers.
hearing, next Tuesday morning, will
be arraigned as a juvenile delin-
quent before Probate Judge O'Cal-
laghan.
The shooting is said to have hap
pened Friday evening and it is UNI
derstood that the state will produce
witnesses to prove the charges made
against the elder Martin.
The defendant in the case was I'M
able to secure bonds and is in
Sheriff Worley's charge. He claims
that the bull shot is dangerous and
that he shot it to protect himself.
The younger lad, it is claimed,
will have to answer to several minor
charges and the county authorities
claim that he was heard to have
made threats of blowing up the
katka school. 1t is claimed that the
older Martin boy made similar
threats and that damaging circum-
stantial evidence will be produced.
Both the Martins deny having any
thing TO do with the blowing up of
the old Katka school house a week
ago last Wednesday.
The Martin boys are sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Martin, who have
lived in the district many years. Mr..
Martin, Sr., was in the city yester-
day and announced that he intended
to swear to a complaint charging
A. c. Mayfield with drawing a load
ed revolver and threatening one of
the Martin boys with it at the time
of the recent school election at Kat
ka.
After the Katka schoolhouse was
blown up last week it developed that
some of the patrons of the school
were in arms over the action of the
school board. 1t seems that the
board first hired Mrs. Mary Dore
to teach again this year and that
for some reason or other the clerk
A. A. Jennings, took it upon him
self to sign a contract with Miss
Gertrude O'Neill, of Minnesota. Miss
O'Neill arrived here last Saturday
expecting to begin the school term
Monday. 1t was told yesterday that
the school board of the district had
agreed to pay Miss O'NeilPs ex-.
penses out here and home again if
she would relinquish her contract,

REPUBLICAN TICKET is STRONG
Elliott Thanks Herald Readers for
Their Support.


Editor Herald:
l want to thank the friends in
Boundary county who were so kind
as to give me their support last
Tuesday for the nomination for Con-
gress. This support is the more ap-
preciated because it revealed conf
dence in me and a willingness to
trust me in the position l desired.
That | failed to win the nomination
should cause no surprise to anyone.
was up against a difficult fight.
In order to win it was necessary to
defeat one candidate that had been
elected five times to Congress and
had been a candidate for office ev-
cry election since 1898. This nat
urally gave him a tremendous adj
vantage in his following throughout
dates had made three campaigns for
the experience and acquaintance of
the positions at the present time. |
was the new man, without so large
a following and lacking machine
to back me, and have been fully
aware of the handicap | was carrying
in the fight.
There are no regrets on my part.
My campaign was active and agrees
sive but the odds were too great.
Under certain contingencies that
looked possible the nomination would
have come to me but these contin-
gencies did not work out as expected,
hence the result.
The whole state ticket is a strong
one and there is no doubt in my
mind of its election in November. A
study of the election returns will
convince anyone that the people
knew pretty generally what they
were about and made their selec-
tions with lot of discrimination.
When the complete returns are in
from the counties it will be shown
that the Republicans went into the
primary election in the right spirit
and in spite of the efforts of thou
sands not of the party who voted the
Republican ticket from improper mo-
tives and with the idea of weakening
it, | am convinced that in the state
as we'll as in every county the
strongest possible lineup of candi-
dates will be shown.
1t is needless for me to say the
Republican ticket will get my most
cordial and active support from pres
ident down to constable. | expect to
get into the fight and respond to
every call that may be made upon
me. There is no occasion for me
to sulk or show sullen spirit, even
if were so disposed, and l certain
ly am not built that way.

Davis Finds Yeggman's Cache

Monday, o. S. Davis, U. S. immi-
grafton officer, found a cache which
had evidently been made by
yeggman who had recently passed
through this town. Mr.. Davis was
looking for wood in the vicinity of
the Crooks" below town and as he
walked along the bank of the Koot-
enai happened to notice a sort of q
coffee pot placed in a crevice of
the rocks. He pushed the can down
and when it fell he noticed that it
contained liquid. Closer examina-
ton showed that besides the liquid
there was soap wrapped in news
paper and some IS dynamite caps.
The find was brought to town and
more closely examined by Davis
and Town Marshal Sawyer and it
was found that the liquid was nitro
glVcerin.

STATE LEVIES
ARE NOW FIXED
Amount For State Purposes, Sinking
Fund and Public Buildings
Is Reduced
RAIL WAY VALUATIONS EQUALIZED
Auditor Is Now Working Out the Mill
Levy

BOISE, Aug. 1.-The state board
of equalization has definitely fixed
the general and special tax levies
for 1916 as follows: General levy to
meet state expenses, S565,000; gen
eral interest and sinking fund, $780,
600; public building fund and en-
dowment fund, $4,000. These levies
represent a total reduction from the
levies of 1915 of Sl25,000. The 1915
general levy was 100000. AS the
1916 levy just made by the board
is but S565,0O0 there is a reduction
in this levy alone of S135,000 to
meet state expenses. The general
interest and sinking fund levy in
1915 was $4,000 and this year the
board raised it $4,000. The 1915
public building and endowment fund
levy was $4,000 and this year the
board increased it $4,000 making the
total levy $4,000. The mill levy
is still to be worked out by the state
auditors department.
In equalizing railroad valuations
the board only made changes insofar
as the Oregon Short Line is con-
cerned in the branch lines. The
Twin Falls branch was reduced to
$4,000 per mile, the North Side
branch to $4,000 per mile. The
Snake rive belt line was increased
$1,000 per mile while the valuation
of the Yellowstone branch was fixed
at $4,000 per mile from Idaho Falls
to Ashton and from Ashton to the
Yellowstone national park to $4,000
per mile.
The state auditors department is
now busily engaged working out the
mill levy after which the apportion-
ment division of the equalization
as between them and establishing
the valuations of electric transmits
sion lines, common carriers, pri-
vate car lines, public utilities; the
reductions or increases for the va
rious other classifications of prop
ertv. of timber, agricultural, dry
and waste lands and of stock
The state board of equalization
stands adjourned sine die. 1t COM
pleted it's work in a shorter period
this year than it has for some years
passed. While it is generally con-
coded that some classes of property
are valued too high and some are too
low, members of the board believe
that they equalized as between them
as fairly as was possible under the
circumstances.
The general tax levy is the lowest
for years. Some doubt was eX-
pressed by members today as to
whether the state. expenses could be
met within the general levy as made
but others believe that they can
and easily.

A large number OF the natives of
Burma are Buddhists. This means that
there attaches to their code OF morals
a prohibition against the taking OF the
life OF any animal. Consequently. most
Burmans are vegetartans, and the only
meat they ever eat is fish. Just how
they make an exception to the finny
tribe in the law against the taking of
the lives Of dumb creatures I do not
know. But 1t is. nevertheless. a fact
that the only flesh the average Burman
eats is fish. usually prepared In a pecu-
liar way.
A large number of small fish are
pounded up with salt and converted into
a vile smelling mess called "nagpee"
This Is sometimes eaten at every meal
To make this dish all sorts of fish are
used, but the favorite Is said to be the
"hilsa," n small. bony fish that really
has very good flavor.
To catch the hilsa huge nets are erect
during the season you can see the fish
the net beneath the water and then they
sprinkle bait above II. or suspend bait
In bag Just above the sunken meshes
OF the net The hilsa swim above the
net to feed on the bait, and when a
goodly number are so engaged the fisher
man number are so engaged the fisher
man on the bank suddenly pulls a
weighted lever which lifts the net and
traps the fish.

40 say that by drinking at least
three pints of water daily you can
acquire beauty equal to that OF
Cleopatra or Venus would be
Erossest exaggeration. but l can prom
ise you that such an amount OF liquid,
taken judiciously, will improve your
looks to such an extent that you will
consider 1t nothing short of marvellous.
Water, properly taken. will flush the
system in the same manner that a pipe
is cleansed by flooding 1t with pure,
clean water. To derive the greatest
benefits from water-drinking two facts
are very important; do not drink water
Immediately after your meals. and see
that II Is not iced. In the first case
II dllutes the gastric juices causing in
digestion and q muddy complexion; in
the latter 1t tends to stop the process
OF digestion.
When drinking the water take a glass
full at a time and sip II slowly. Ten
minutes for each glass is none too long.
The temperature may be cool, but not
cold enough to chill the stomach.
You may drink water with your meals
but don't drink any sooner than half
hour after the meal.
When you rise in the morning drink a
glass OF hot water TO which has been
added pinch OF salt or the juice or
