FRANK A. EMPEY THE PURCHASER
Recently Bought CVOOnquiSt Store and will Con-
SOIidate Two Businesses

One of the most important
business deals that has been made
I'm this city for some time was
consummated last evening. This
was the sale of the SHELTON &
Warren store and business to
Frank A. Empey, who a few days
ago purchased the Croonquist
store.
Negotiations for The deal have
been pending for several days but
we're only concluded at a late
hour yesterday afternoon, it be-
ing about six o'clock when the
papers were finally signed. The
deal does not include the store
building but includes the entire
stock of goods, groceries, dry
goods, gents furnishing goods
and everything i'm the merchan-
disc line, as we'll as the business.
The purchase price has not
been given out and probably the
exact amount is not known and
can not be ascertained until an
inventory of the stock has been
taken which probably will not be
until next week as Mr.. Empey was
called TO Colville last evening
and will not return until Monday.
Mr.. Empey, the purchaser, is
a merchant of large experience
and is we'll known throughout
this section. He has owned and
conducted stores in Post Falls,
lRathdrum, Occur d'Alene and
other cities in this section and at

some special effort should be
made.
The question of roads on the
Indian reservation is a peculiar
one and is distinguished from the
general road question by the fact
that the Indians are wards of the
government and their lands are
not subject to taxation, either
for roads or any other purpose.
Ii is a part of the policy Of the
government to try and make
farmers out of the Indians and
the lands are allotted to them
in severalty for this purpose.
1t is everywhere recognized
that good roads are essential to
successful farming and it would
seem that the interior depart
ment would recognize this fact
and make provision for building
necessary roads on the reserva-
tions. This phase Of the ques-
tion has been put up to Con-
gresham McCracken and he has
promised 60 bring the matter be-
fore the interior department.
This matter should receive all
the local support that it is pos
sible to give it and we understand
that a meeting Of the Commercial
Club of the city will be called in
the near future to take action and
to see that all of the data in re-
gard to the question is prepared
and sent to Congressman Nc
Cracken to be laid before the in
terror department.

Suspected SWindIer
Under Arrest

A man who gives his name as
b. f. Chapman was arrested
this morning, charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pre-
iences. He had been stopping at
the Valley House for several days
giving out that he was the ad-
vance agent of a party of four
who were demonstrating some
kind of rolled oats. He made
arrangements with Frank Trum-
mel to put on the demonstration
at the Table Supply company
store and secured three dollars
from Mr.. Trummel.
Thursday night he left the
Valley House anG moved to the
Midway Hotel, telling the same
story. The next morning Mr..
Cormier, proprietor of the Valley
House, had him arrested for
jumping his board bill. He
settled the case by leaving his
overcoat and then went to Trum-
mel and secured some more mon
ey.
Trummel heard Of his trouble
With Cormier and swOre out a
warrant charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pre-
tences and after some search he
was placed under arrest by Of
licer Booth. He maintains his
innocence and is being held to
see if his party, which he says is
in Coeur d'Alene, arrives.

Occur q Alene, Mar. o-i4. Il
Reinhard & Co. of Spokane, the
expert accountants who have been
al work on the books of the as
SCISSORS Office covering the period
between January, 1909 and Janu-
airy. 1911, the time when j. w.
Smith was assessor, have COM
pleted the Investigations for that
period and have made their re-
port to the county commission
ePs.
The report has not been made
public but it is known that the
shortage is over fifty thousand
dollars and possibly may be one
hundred thousand dollars. The
experts have been working on the
hooks for several months and,
although the result of their work
was not made public, it was
known last fall that there was
shortage and the last Of Deem
ber. only day or two before the
statute of limitations would have
expired. an action was started in
the district court against Smith
and his bondsmen to recover the
amount of the shortage.
Smiths bond was only twenty
five thousand dollars and the
complaint was so drawn as to
cover that amount. Now that
the full amount of the shortage
has been ascertained, this com
plant will be amended to cover
the full amount.
A deplorable condition Of lax
ity in the matter of keeping the
county records is said to have
been revealed by the examiners.
Practically every known Of
fense is the category of fraudu-
lent entries has been disclosed
ranging from the disappearance
of entire books to the mutilalion
of special and vital pages.
In one instance, it is reported,
24 pages of an important tax
record have been removed and the
book from which the sheets we're
taken shows the clean cut of a
knife where the sheets were
trimmed from the cloth binding.
Over-charges and under-charges
have been revealed, taxes collect
ed more than once and many other
Irregularities found which will
be substantiated when the au-
ditor's report is made public.
In some instances property
owned by favored people has been
skipped entirely by the assessor,
it. is alleged, and in others an un-
authorized reduction of taxes has
been made by the collector. Dis
closures of this nature show a
range of from 10 per cent to 90
per cent reduction Of the original
amount of the taxes shown on tax
rolls.
The amended complaint, which
will probably be filed within the
next two weeks, will give a detail
ed statement of all these trans
actions and will show what per-
sons and corporations have been
the benehciaries under this sys-
tematic scheme to loot the coun-
ty.
Several corporations, some OF
which are owned in Spokane, as
we'll as Idaho corporations, vii
be made defendants in proceed
ings which will be instituted by
the commissioners for the re-
covery of uncollected taxes.
In some cases these amounts
with the penalties and interes
charges attached run into severa
thousand dollars. Idaho corpora.

have indicated that they are will

spirit prevails generally a com

will clear the atmosphere and ma

STATE LINE HOTEL At
BEACH BURNS DOWN

Friday morning of last week the
fire department of the city of
Beach was called into action by an
alarm from the State Line Hotel Of
that city, which was discovered to be
on fire.
AS we learn the story of origin it
was caused by an overheated range.
After the fire was started in the
kitchen range the man then left to
do work in other portions Of the
building and when the fire was dis
covered it had made considerable
! Roadway. An alarm was at once
turned in and was quickly responded
to by the department., but in spite
of every effort the building was prac-
tically ruined when the flames were
extinguished. q
Owing to the early hour and the
rapidity with which the flames
spread, many of the guests were
obliged to make their exit through
the second story windows, in some
cases being assisted to the ground
by ladders in charge Of firemen. Sew
eral were slightly burned, among
them the proprietor, Mr.. Wall, who
was not aroused from his slumbers
until nearly surrounded by fire.
The State Line hotel was the first
hostelry built in Beach and has grad
ually grown from a small structure
in the beginning to one of goodly
size and all the modern c%onveniences,
as demands were made upon it:
Mrs. M. E. Heath was it's first pro-
prietor, but retired from it's active
management a little over a year ago.
Some few months ago Harry Wall
leased the property and sustains a
heavy loss by the fire, having, we are
informed, only $400 of insurance on
the entire furnishing in the build
ing. The building was insured for
$4,000. Whether or not it will be
rebuilt has not yet been learned.
However, plans were perfected
some time ago for the erection OF
Ia first class hotel in Beach just as
soon as frost was sufficiently out Of
the ground to permit Of substantial
building operations and this may have
J some bearing on whether or not the
