Great Northern Official Says Company
Will Establish Full Freight
Division Yards Here
WORKING ON KOOTENAI CANYON
LAWN Says X. v. Ry. Service Will Be
On Schedule Now

Various rumors have been circu-
lated the past few weeks concerning
the action the Great Northern rail-
way company would take in regard
to beginning immediate work on its
new freight division yards and re-
pair shops which are to be located
on a site of 124 acres east of town,
the land having been bought several
weeks ago.
Mr.. Tripplett, the new trainmaster
on this division for the Great North
ern railway company, has been in
the city several days this week
and in various conversations made
it evident that his opinion is that
the Great Northern will begin work
this winter and that the company
will have the new division yards
ready for use early next summer.
Mr.. Tripplett did not state that his
opinion was based on knowledge
which is not common property.
He told that the Bonners Ferry
yards would be a full freight divi-
sion and that buildings would be
erected for minor repair work.
Grant, Smith & Co., of Spokane,
have a large crew at work in the
Kootenai Canyon with H. c. DAILY
in charge of the men and f. w.
Smith, in charge of the office work.
The Grant Smith people have a
contract for the moving of some
$4,000 yards of rock on the south
side of the Great Northern tracks

1900 feet of side track will be built.
This work will not be completed for
more than two weeks vet.

bridges across the Tootenai river in
its efforts to straighten its tracks
and that one bridge will be con-
structed at a point west If Katka

Brookside Bull Takes Prize

This week W. ]. Hoagland, one
of the proprietors of the Brookside
Stock company, received a very flat
tering report from one of the Brook
side Holstein bulls which was sold
last winter to X. Iverson, of Kalis-
pell, Mont. Mr.. Iverson wrote that
he had shown the bull, now is
months old, at the Flathead County
fair on October 4, 5, 6 and 7, in
competition with six other bulls and
that the animal had been awarded
sweepstakes prize. The bull weighed
1850 pounds. Mr.. Iverson stated
in his letter that the people of his
neighborhood were so we'll pleased
with the bull that number of them
planned to come to Boomers Ferry
soon to make purchases from the
Brookside Stock company.

START OPERATIONS AT ONCE
Sylvanite Was Big Camp About Twenty
Years Ago

S. H. Ehlers, well known mining
man of northwestern states, was in
the city last Friday attending to
business matters in connection with
the resumption of operations at the
old Sylvanite mining camp in west
ern Lincoln county close to the
Idaho Montana line.
The following dispatch from Libby
tells of the activities in the Sylvan
lite district:
LIBBY. Mont, oct. 15-s. H.
for the report that the cid mining
camp of western Lincoln county is
again coming to the front. Mr.
Ehlers has organized the Yakt VAL
ley Mining and Milling company,
capitalized for $250,000, and has
with him as associates l. G. Blan-
chett of Grand Forks, n. p, V. R.
Mitchell of Brockton, Mont, and V.
d. Evans of Fairview, Mont. The
company is expecting a carload of
horses which will be taken to the
property and used III hauling lum-
Der, logs and supplies. Paul d.
Pratt of Libby is the engineer in
charge of laying out the work The
with the object of getting under
cover so that work can be prosecuted
during the winter months.
In addition to the mine buildings
200-horsepower plant is being in
stalled on Fourth of July creek,
which will provide the mine with
power and lights. The principal
work this winter will be driving a
long tunnel to tap the keystone vein
of the Jim Hill claim. The tunnel
will be about 1000 feet long. This
claim has been developed in some
of the upper workings and the show
ing is fine. With the depth which
this tunnel will give, there will be
a big body of ore in sipht. and sub
sequent developments will include the
necessary machinery to reduce this
ore. Where the vein is exposed in
the keystone it is Az feet wide and
all milling ore. The values are
largely in gold.

Charles Nelson, an employee of the
Boomers Ferry Lumber company, was
taken in charge Wednesday by Dep
uty Sheriff Mcmahon, on an insan-
ity charge. Nelson will be given a
final examination as to his sanity
today by DIR. Fry. 1t is more than
likely that he will be ordered sent
to the state insane asylum at Oro-
fino.
Nelson has worked here for a
number of years and lives in a
house on the Island. He has been
acting queerly for a number of days
and his neighbors and friends began
TO fear that he might harm him.
self or some resident OF the city.
Tuesday Nelson went to a barber
shop and had. his head shaved and
then went to buy hat. While buy
ing the hat he decided that his head
was too dirty to wear a new hat
and so he returned to the barber
shop for a shampoo. He declares
to Deputy Sheriff Mcmahon that
he goes to church on weekdays and
winds the clock on Sunday.

MRS. S. D. TAYLOR is DEAD
Victim of Cancerous Growth-Fu-
neral Held at Boise.

The news of the death of Mrs.
Emma Taylor, at her home in Boise,
reached here Saturday. The funeral
was held at st. Johns cathedral,
Boise, on Monday of this week and
the burial took place in the Morris
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Taylor was the wife of S.
ID. Taylor, and with him made her
home here for some 20 years, Mr.
Taylor having been the editor of
the Herald for some Is years. The
deceased was prominent in Idaho
in social, lodge and church circles.
She was a past president of the
Rebekah grand lodge. She is sur
vived by daughter, Mrs. w. r.
Eddy, and her husband.
For the past seven years the de-
ceased has made her home in Boise,
having gone to that city to reside
when Mr.. Taylor was first elected
state auditor.
The deceased numbered her friends
by the score in this city where she
had lived for so many years and
where she was always one of the
first to offer her services and aid
to any one in distress.
The cause of death was a cancer.
The trouble started several years
ago and everything known to science
was done to cure and relieve her
sufferings.
The people of Boomers Ferry and
Boundary county Join in mourning
the death of Mrs. Taylor and in ex-
tending to Mr.. Taylor and Mrs.
Eddy their deepest sympathies.
The following from the Boise
Statesman tells of the funeral SER
vices held Monday:

at the funeral of Mrs. S. D. Taylor
at st. Johns cathedral Monday

Keyzer, assisted by the full cath

The floral offerings were unusu-
ally large, and included a number
of beautiful formal pieces, loving
tributes of different fraternal orders

president of the United States has
depleted the national treasury.
After making this saving in the
way described, Alexander claims that
he saved S270,OO0 by vetoing APP
preparations. He has not taken into
consideration two bond issues, one
for 100000 and one for 100000,
which were passed by the legislature
of 1913 and the expenditure of
which was largely in Alexander's adj
ministration.
The 100000 bond issue passed by
the legislature of 1918, it will be
remembered, was not available. The
interest upon it had been fixed at
per cent and the bonds were not
sold. The sale upon them langu-
ished until the legislature Of 1915
raised the amount of interest upon
them to Az per cent when they
were sold.
While it is true that the highway
commission of 1913-1914 made pro-
vision with highway districts and
counties to carry the states expen-
ditures upon state highways for that
two year period, the whole of the
100000 was spent during Alexan-
der's term of office and is charge
able to his administration.
Of the 100000 bond issue, under
the Haines administration for the
San Francisco Fair, Alexander had
the benefit inasmuch as the fair oc-
Cured during his administration and
the moneys appropriated during the
Haines administration but paved the
way for Alexander's triumphal entry
into San Francisco with his gold
braided staff, and it may be added
that Governor Alexander has never
made a public statement as to the
expenditure made by this Panama
Pacific Fair commission. 1t has
been more than suggested that there
is a chapter of political rottenness
here which has never come to public
light. Anyway, Alexander has never
dared to make public a statement
of how the moneys were spent al
San Francisco, and what was accom-
plished by his plug-hatted com
mission.

SUES FOR LAWYERS FEES
Attorneys In Verbal Battle in Pro-
bate Court Last Friday.

From all reports the trial of the
case of G. A. Buhrow against Hale
Aldrich which was heard by a jury
in Probate Judge O'Callaghan's
court last Friday afternoon, was
some kind of an entertainment, pet
names and strong insinuations hav-
ing been handed back and forth
by the two attorneys in the case,
G. A. Buhrow and S. E. Henry,
who, it is a matter of common
knowledge, have had little love for
each other for some years. Mr.
Buhrow at one time was the insti-
gator of a plan to start disbarment
proceedings against Mr.. Henry.
The jury in the case was unable
to agree on a verdict and Buhrow
gave notice of applying for new
trial.
The suit was brought by the
plaintiff to recover $25 said to be
owing him from the defendant for
professional services when he rep
resented the defendants father in
a preliminary hearing a few years
ago when the latter was charged
with the killing of A S. Waterman.
Mrs. Aldrich, the mother of Hale
Aldrich states that Mr.. Buhrow was
hired to represent her husband in
the hearing but claims that Burrows
claims were settled and that he had,
when she protested over the amount
of the charge for his services, told
her that he would settle if she would
pay the amount of the stenographer'
fees. This Mrs. Aldrich states she
did. She states that any claim Mr..
Buhrow may have is against her
and not Hale Aldrich, her son.

same period, the sum of 81 sos, 1881,
leaving a deficit at the end of one
year and nine months of S2S,0S3.62.
Now then, we have three months
longer to run the state at a rate
of 100000 per month, which adds
100000 to the total of the defici-
ency already shown, or a total of
1928, 0S3.62, which amount the state
will be shy at the end of the fiscal
period of 1915-1916. Or taking it
another way, the legislature has au-
thorized the various departments of
the state to spend for the biennial
period of 1915-1916, the sum of
$2,153 ,476.70. This money will be all
used up in the various appropriations
since the appropriations were very
scantily doled out to the departments
of state by the last legislature.
With this authorized expenditure of
! $2,153,476.70, we had to meet it
/ 81 ,265, 900 state tax for the two years
authorized by Governor Alexander,
and the $540,3S1, the receipts from
sundry sources for one year and
nine months, or a deficiency of
$34S,095.70 to be met by the receipts
of the state for the three remaining
months of the fiscal year 1915-1916,
or ST. 100 based upon the average
receipts of the one year nine month
period, making a total deficiency of
! $270,S96. Now this deficiency must
be met. 1t will have to be met
as all debts of the state of Idaho
have been met in the past-by the
republican party.
Again, Alexander is making the
claim that he redeemed 1862, 500
worth of bonds. Under the state
law the treasurer is authorized to
retire bonds from the general inter
est and sinking fund or from the
Capital building sinking fund. There
was accumulated in these funds suf-
ficient amount of money under re-
publican administration that the re-
publican state treasurer was able
to retire bonds that became redeem
able in the year 1915 to the amount
of 1852, 800. Governor Alexander had
nothing whatever to do with this
act of Treasurer Eagleson and did
not know anything about it until
Treasurer Eagleson's report so
showed.
During the administration of Mr..
Alexander, through his determined
efforts to show a saving to the tax
payers of the state of Idaho of one
million dollars, he has entirely ig-
nored the provisions of the law which
requires providing a sinking fund
for the redemption of bonds as they
become due. In fact, so eager has
been his desire to show a saving,
that he has scarcely provided suf-
ficient amount to pay the coupons
on our bonded Indebtedness of the
state. In all his operations he has
maliciously absorbed the accumulated
funds which the legislature has pro-
vided to meet the states obligation
and to make good his political prom
ises of two years ago, thereby de-
pleting the funds provided or to be
provided in the state treasury, in
exactly the same manner as the

Stanley Has Resigned

According to an announcement
made yesterday j. V. Stanley has
resigned from the state democratic
ticket as a candidate for election
as congressman. In democratic cir
-cles it is said that James H. For
ney, of Moscow, will be named to
fill the vacancy on the democratic
ticket.
The resignation was brought about
through the recent sensational
charges of statutory rape brought
against Mr.. Stanley in this city
Mr.. Stanley has stated that he would
not have resigned had he been able
to secure a trial before the Novem-
Der election.
