WILL FEED
HERD OF DEER
Game Warden F. S. Stoos Leaves
Wednesday to Care For Starving
Deer Near Skin Creek
WILL ASK THE STATE FOR AID
The State Game Officials Lax in Inves-
tiga,ion Here

Deputy County Game Warden F.
S. Stoos left Wednesday in company
with George Fry, l.. N. Brant, and
H. Woods, for the Skin Creek district
where they will buy feed and care for
herd of some three or four hun
dred deer.
The matter of caring for these
deer was first brought to the atten-
ton of the public through the col
umns of the Herald few weeks ago.
Mr.. Stoos investigated the matter and
tried to interest the state game de-
partment in providing some way to
care for the deer. r. j. Hammond,
deputy state game warden, of Occur
d. Alene City, and County Game
Warden Stark, of Standpoint, came
here Sunday night, presumably in re-
Spouse to word from the state game
department. They spent the day in
the city and left Monday morning
but as far as known did not make
any inquiry or take any definite
steps towards caring for the deer
Monday evening Tom and Fred Solo
mon and nj. Stephens came to the
city and reported that the. band of
deer was wintering on tract about
four miles square from the mouth of
Skin Creek to a point called Windy
Pass. They said the animals were
unable to get through the snow and
were in a starving condition.
Before leaving Game Warden Stoos
had the assurance of local sports
men that if the state game depart
ment would not pay the expenses OF
caring for and feeding the deer the
money for this purpose would be
raised by private subscription. Mr.
Stoos plans on notifying the state
game department of the situation
here and applying for state aid
Local people feel that the Wardens
Stark and Hammond failed in theil
duty in not investigating more thor
oughly the reports coming from the
Perkins lake district and making
some arrangements to care for the
deer and other game animals Of
this district.

JUDGE sCHLETTE RETURNS
Tells of Interesting Experiences on
Trip to Old Home

f. B. Schlette, justice of the peace
of the Curley Creek district, returned
Sunday from attending the funeral
and burial of his friend, the late Tom
Casey. Judge Schlete was accom-
panied on the return trip by Con
Casey brother of Tom Casey.
Before returning home Mr.. Schlet-
tie visited his old home at Gutten-
berg, Iowa. 1t was his first visit in
10 years and while the town itself
was strange to him and he met many
of his relatives whom he had never
seen before, and passed a most en-
joyable time. In st. Paul Mr.. Schlet-
tie met Mr.. Con Casey and also To-
Gated his cousins, Peter Schlette and
c. M. Andrist, neither of whom he
had seen for nearly 30 years. Mr.
Andrist is secretary to the governor
of Minnesota and served the late
Governor Hammond in the same ca
pacity. On his eastern visit Mr.
Schlette lost no opportunity of sing.
ing the praises of Boundary county
and he has about persuaded Con Ca
sey to locate here while Mr.. Andrist
is planning a trip here next summer
with view of looking over the coun
try for a location.
Judge Schlette states that his triI
was made doubly pleasant owing t.
the fact that the brothers and rela
tives of the late Tom Casey seemed
determined to make his stay one
long to be remembered. The Curley
Creek Justice says that despite the
rumors that he would return with &
better half, predictions have turned
out wrong. This through no fault Of
his. The judge tells that he would
have popped the question to severa
fair ladies but for the fact that this
is leap year and he figured that h,
ought to give the ladies a chance. H,
realizes his mistake now and will
never let the circumstances harper
AGAIN

SPECIAL TRAIN
TO CONVENTION
Borah Boosters Plan to Attend the Big
National Convention to Be Held
Ia Chicago
CRUM WILL Be A CANDIDATE
Republican Officials Are Making Fine
Records

Idaho republicans are becoming
quite enthused over the prospects of
Senator Borah for the presidential
nomination and the proposition has
been made to send special train
conveying Borah boosters to the con-
vention city. The suggestion has met
with great favor and unless the presi-
Dental situation changes materially
indicating the choice of some other
candidate, the special train will I'M
doubtedly be made up and carry to
Chicago the real article from a boos-
ter standpoint. Senator Borah looms
up as a very important figure in ma
tional politics and even if he should
not be nominated himself, he is likely
to have much to say as to who shall
be, such is the great prestige he en-
joys now. If Borah is not president
he is likely to be premier in the next
administration, the next thing to be-
ing president, but as the situation
now stands it is by no means a wild
guess that Borah may win the presi-
dency for the west 1t would be the
one safe bet if Borah was differently
located as to residence, but even with
the western handicap Borah is re-
ceiving a tremendous amount of ia
vorable consideration.
Crum to be Candidate
That Senator Geo. E. Crum of Lew
iston will be a candidate to enter
the race for the republican nomina-
ton for governor is now certain.
Crum has received great deal of en-
enlargement, not only from North
Idaho, but from South Idaho as well

FACE DEFICIT
OF $lOO,OOO,OOO
Representative Fordney, of Michigan,
Discusses Democratic Tariff and
Revenue Policies
SAYS THE WAR IS NO EXCUSE
Hopes the Underwood Law Will Soon
Be Repealed

Washington, d. c., Jan. 27.-The
United States treasury faces a deficit
of over $100,O00,O00. The party re-
sponsible for this deficit must either
meet the situation or surrender the
reins of power.
In other words, the American peo-
pie demand that a political party
either make good or give up.
The handwriting on the wall was
revealed the other day by Repre-
sentative Joseph w. Fordney of Mich
igan in a discussion of the demo-
cratic tariff and revenue policies be-
fore the house. He showed that the
democratic party has failed to make
good.
"The treasury balance is nearly
100 thousand dollars less than it
was when the republicans were in
power" said Mr.. Fordney. "The
war in Europe is the excuse, but it is
not the cause for the deficit. Without
that war the democratic party would
have been compelled to admit ere
this that their tariff law is a com
plete failure.
Comparing nine months from the
first of March to November 1, 1915,
with the corresponding nine months
from March to November, 1913, i'm
ports showed a gain of $72,716,OOO.
Customs receipts showed a loss of
$76,000,000. The maximum loss of
customs receipts that can be attributed
to the war in Europe is $500, 900
per month, and the war tax, So
called, is producing $6,SOO,O0O per
month or about 81 100000 per month
more than the loss in customs re-
ceipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
war tax is more than making up for
the loss in customs receipts, the bal
ance in the general funds declined
$75,6O3,336 from July 81, 1914, to
July 81, 1915. On July 81, 1914, the
balance was $143,776, 800 and one
year later it was down to $68,173,-
900.
"The Underwood law started out
with good balance in the treasury.
That is not an argument in favor of
the Underwood law. Credit for that
balance belongs to the preceding re-
publican tariff law. The real ques-
ton is, what balance will you have al
the end of the operation of the I'm
derwood law?
up to the present time some
100000 has been raised by the
so-called war taxes, and notwith,
standing this and the fact that i'm
portations at present are breakinf
past records in volume, the balanc.
In the general fund is now down t,
about $50,0O0,0OO.
when the Underwood act is inall,
repealed and the reckoning is made
it will show that some hundreds O
millions raised by Objectionable meth
DDS of taxation-and an empty trea
suryl"

PLANS NEW BRICK BUILDING
Mrs Belle Bishop Expects to Replace
Present Frame Structure

According to present plans of Mrs.
Belle Bishop, owner of the site and
building in which Simonds' Drug
Store is located, the present frame
structure will be replaced by a
modern two story brick, the construc-
ton of which will be started as soon
as the weather permits this spring.
The new brick will have a 'front.'
age of 25 feet and will probably have
a depth of rs feet. Complete plans
for the new building have not been
definitely decided upon. 1t will pro-
badly have a full basement, and be
steam heated. At present Mrs.
Bishop is undecided whether she will
use the second story for Offices or for
housekeeping rooms which she will
occupy herself.
Mrs. Bishop hopes to be able to
move the present frame building to
the rear of the lot where it will be
used for warehouse purposes. The
present warehouse buildings will be
torn down.
If the proposed building is erected
it is nearly certain that it will be
occupied by Simonds' Drug Store and
if Mr.. Simonds takes lease he plans
to install all new fixtures, including
show cases and shelving and will add
several new lines to his stock of
drugs and drug sundries.

Spokane by the Union Iron Works.
A large crew of men are at work on
the new concentrator and Manager
Klockmann plans to have everything
in readiness for full operations in the
early spring. The IdahoC Continental
company is now shipping two car
loads of ore each week. These ship
ments could be greatly increased but
for the heavy snowfall which makes
the sleighing Of the ore a difficult
matter.

Now Cutting Seasons Ice

w. F. Dunning, with a crew of six
men, began cutting ice this morning.
He plans to cut between 600 and 700
tons this season. The cut this year
will be some 300 tons less than last
year owing to the saloons being out
of business.
The ice being cut is a little off col
or and Mr. Dunning, who has looked
up and down the river, has been UNI
able to find ice which does not car
ry little sand. The ice is about
IA to 16 inches thick with about two
inches of snow ice on top.

The fact that he has been suggested
upon more than one occosaion by Sen
ator Borah would of itself put Mr..
Crum upon the political map. This
remark is not intended to compro-
mise Sen. Borah in any way as in
dicating that he would show any par
TALLY as between worthy aspirants
but at times when there was no can
paign on, and he might express him
self with freedom and propriety, he is
known to have pointed out Geo. E
Crum as good material for the par
TVS candidate for governor.
Word has reached this city that
Crum will soon announce his candi-
dacy.
Republican Economy
Republican departments are able tc
take much credit for a showing as tc
economy for the year 1915. State
Treasurer Eagleson claims a saving
in his department of $54, 630.32, the
most important item of which is II
the capital maintenance. The amount
expended for capitol building main
tenance in 1918 was s38,070.13, while
in 1915 Mr.. Eagleson, who is Gus
todian of the capitol building, re
duced the maintenance to $21 ,893.61
a reduction in expenses amounting t.
s16,176.52. The other items that g
to make up the total consist Of inter
est items. Secretary of State Barke'
shows a great increase of business il
his department without any increas'
of clerical assistance. Miss McCo.
state superintendent, Attorney Gen
eral Peterson and State Auditor Hus
ton have each made a splendid show
ing in their respective offices.

A peculiar phase of the situation
one that will require probably, an
opinion from the supreme court, is
caused by the fact that 1912 tax GER
tifcates cannot be foreclosed upon
until next October. The reason is
that the 1912 taxes were collected
under a former law which allowed
three years for redemption. The ques-
ton is as to what recourse the hold
er of a 1912 tax certificate will have
in case the county forecloses on the
property for the 1913 taxes.
In addition to the taxes, costs Of
the suit and attorneys fees of s2g
may be included in the judgment fol-

MUST SUE FOR
FORECLOSURE,
New Law Covering Tax Titles Must Be
Followed in Bonner and Boundary
Counties
SO CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUEI
Covers Large Amount of Land-Papers
Are Being Prepared

Preparations are being made in
Bonner and Boundary counties for
the foreclosure of tax certificates that
were issued in January, 1914. In the
two counties there are SO of these
certificates.
According to the law in the case
redemption of the property from tax
sales is not made within two years
from the date of delinquency certifi-
cate the owner of such certificate
must, not less than thirty nor more
than ninety days after the expira-
ton of the time of redemption, COM
mence an action in the district court
of the county wherein said property
is located for the foreclosure of the
tax lien, as provided in this act, and,
in case such certificate is owned by
the county, the county auditor of
such county must deliver the same to
the county attorney, taking his re-
ceipt therefor, who must forthwith
institute proceedings in the name of
the county auditor, as trustee for
said county for the foreclosure of
the tax lien as provided in this act.
Section 1873 of the same law says:
The owner of any delinquency GER
tifcate issued on account of delinquent
taxes on property for any year and
sold by the county auditor must or
the commencement of an action foi
the foreclosure of the tax lien, re-
deem such property from taxes fol
any and all subsequent years, and the
amount paid on account of such re.
demption shall be included in the
amount which the plaintiff is EMIT
led to recover and to foreclose as {
lien on such property.
Section 139 says:
In any action instituted in tn,
name of the county auditor, as trus
tee for his county, for the foreclosure
of the tax lien, on property, as pro
vided in this act, the amount of al
taxes and penalties shown in any
and all subsequent delinquency Ger
tifcates outstanding against sale
property, together with the accrue,
interest thereon, shall be included il
the amount which the county is en-
titled to recover and to foreclos,
