Mr.. Humiston opened the dis
cussion before the board and
stated that the lumber companies
were not maintaining their for
mer patronage, and that i'm the
potlatch company, where for a
previous period of four years and
eight months there had not been a
shut down of the machinery, but
one shift was working and the
night shift was eliminated alto
gether The sales the past year,
he stated, from a money stand
point, were the smallest since
1909. But two kinds of lumber
were profitable for the market in
the northern part of the state, he
explained, the white and yellow
pines, yet it was necessary to cut
all other varieties of timber from
the lands and dispose of them, al
though it wat at a loss to the COM
panies.
"There is something funde-
mentally and basically wrong
with the lumber business" Mr..
Humiston stated, land we have
endeavored for years to ascertain
what the trouble is, but do not
yet know. AT present other lines
Of industry are prospering in the
state; the farmers in general are
receiving top prices for wheat,
hay, pork and wool; but the lum-
ber trade is falling of" He
made the plea that whereas the
hoard has lowered the assess
ment of other industries which
were hourishing that. the lumber
interests might have a similar re.
duction, rather than increasing

The country was a wilderness
then and he had the usual ex-
perinences of a settler i'm a new

and no means of getting supplies
except by packing and he at once
interested himself in the road
question.
He had had twelve years ex-
perience i'm road building and
road work and naturally became
q leader i'm road construction
among his neighbors. donating
his time and money freely in this

over, belittling or overlooking dis
honesty in public Office or inefli-
cheney in public officers, its in
huence in the community is bad.
1t is helping to build up senti-
ment among the people that there
is nothing wrong in grating from
the county and state; that the
amount taken from each individ-
ual taxpayer is so little that it
does not matter and that an Of
ficer is justified in getting all of
the county or state money he can.
1t is this sentiment among the
voters Of a community that is di-
rectly responsible for dishonesty,
extravaganza and inefliciency in
the public officials and the news
papers of this stale are more or
less responsible. 1t is as much
the business of a newspaper that
has the best interests of the COM
munity at heart to call attention
to official graft or incompetency
as it is to give the news.
The Record, ever since it was
established, has stood for clean
administration of public affairs
and has not hesitated to point out
and fight graft, dishonesty, cor
ruption or inefliciency in munich
pal or county affairs and believes
that by doing so it is not only per-
forming a duty but is working for
the best interests of the commun-
ity by assisting in awakening pub
lie conscience and building up a
more healthy and moral public
sentiment.
We expect that The Record will
continue this course so long as it
lis under the present management
and the fact that a transgressor
may be of the same political
party will have no influence or if
it does have an influence it will be
to make US put forth greater eff
forts in an endeavor to prevent
the party being placed in a posi-
ton where it appears to sanction
and endorse such corruption anC
incompetency.
Our readers will bear us out il
the statement that The Record ha:
always been consistent in its figh
against corruption and graft ant
has always stood for a clean, hon
est and capable administration o
public affairs and we ask the co.
operation of good citizens toward
this end.

Arrange For
Drainage District
HARRISON MEETING ENDORSES PROJECT
District To Comprise Valleys Of Three Rivers and
Will Widen Outlet OF Lake

Between seventy and eighty
ranchers of the st. Joe and Occur
d'Alene river valleys attended the
meeting at Harrison Saturday,
called for the purpose of hearing
the report Of the committee ap-
pointed at a previous meeting to
gather data in regard to the pro-
posed dredging of the Spokane
river.
The committee, which was COM
posed of 7. j. McAndrews, A. A.
Darknell and Dan Shanahan, re-
ported that in their opinion that
if a shoulder of land on the east
bank of the river, averaging 33
yards in width, six yards in depth
and 44O yards long be removed
the flood time flowage would be
increased at least 40 per cent.
The committee also reported
in favor of removing the piling
which had been driven across the
river, the removal of some cot
tonwood trees growing on the
bank, the widening of the spans
of a county bridge across the
river and also the spans on two
railroad bridges as we'll vs. the re-
moval of other distractions in
the river.
The estimated cost of the con-
templated improvements was re-
ported by the committee at from
fifty to sixty thousand dollars and
the number of acres Of land ben
Gifted at from 1000 to $4,000.
This would make the expense per
acre average from Sl.00 to $3.50.
The committee also reported
in favor of forming a drainage
district to include all of the land
in the two valleys affected by the
project and then to start dredg-
ing.
The report of the committee
was adopted and it was unani-
mously voted to form a drainage
district as proposed in the re-
port. M. A. Kiger, chairman OF
the meeting, was instructed tc
appoint committee of three tc
at once take the necessary steps
preliminary to forming the drain
age district, such as preparing
and circulating the necessary Pc
titions, etc.
A.A. Darknell and P. T. Sween-
ey, both Of this city, were named
as two of the members of thu
committee. r. j. McAndrewi
was named as the third membe
but declined, stating that he di'
not have the time TO devote to tn
work. Mr.. Kiger was given fur
ther time to name the third mem
ber of the committee.
The drainage district will b
formed under the state drainag
law and the drainage commits
sioners will be named by the dis
trict judge. These commits
sioners, when appointed, will hav
full charge of the work and tn
decision as to the amount of wor
necessary. 1t is believed tha
the dredging Of the river as in
dicated above will permit tn
flow of the surplus water in tn
high water season and prevent
from backing up into the river
and overAowing the lands alon
the banks.

state will be held one week from
today, Tuesday, September 5th.
This will end the preliminary
struggle to see who will be Sc
lected to fiji the county and state
offices for the ensuing two years
and is fully as important as the
general election, which comes two
months later, as it will decide
who viii represent the particular
parties as candidates at the later
election.
Under the primary law any
elector who pays the filing fee
can become a candidate and it
rests with the voter of his par
ticular party TO say whether his
name Shall appear ON the general
election ballot. There can be
any number of candidates for
any of the offices in each party at
the primary but under the law the
name Of but one candidate for
each Office can appear under the
party name ON the official ballot
at the general election.
This makes it very important
that the voters turn out at the
primary election and see that the
best men, men who will perform
the duties of the offices to the best
interests of the people, are nom
mated on each of the two princi-
pal tickets.
Voters should not allow per-
sonal friendships or likes and
dislikes to influence them i'm cast
ing their ballots but should care
fully examine the record and
character of the men vino arc
seeking their support and vote
for those who in their opinion
will best perform the duties of
the offices.
If man has already been in
the Office his official conduct
should be carefully scrulinized
and if it is found that he has
conducted the affairs of the office
in an honest and efficient man
ner and has acted for the gest in
tcrests of the people, then he is
entitled to reelection, otherwise
not.
The same general rules should
govern in choosing a man to look
after the county's business that
you would apply in choosing a
man to look after your private
business. If you had a man
looking after your private bust
mess who did not give the atten-
tion it should have, was exlrava-
