is CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
Capt. f. G. Davis Making Final Tour
of Northern Counties

Captain f. G. Davis, of Boise, can
didate on the republican ticket for the
nomination of governor, arrived in
Bonners Ferry Wednesday morning
and spent the day in meeting the cit
liens of the community. He is trav-
cling over the state in his car but he
did not bring it to Bonners Ferry on
account of the recent storms and the
uncertainty as to the condition in
which the roads would be found.
AS a result of the various positions
Captain Davis has held in the state
government, he claims to be as famil-
lar with the bushes of the state
as any other man in it, and fully
competent to deal with the the causes
of bad government. He is making a
campaign in which he seeks to get
the nomination in a direct appeal to
the people. AS he expressed it: 81
want to get the nomination and cleo
ton in such manner that | shall be
free to serve the people of this state
and not its political BOSSES" Cap
tain Davis referred to the celebrated
Huston land loans, the Irregularities
connected with which he exposed to
the people of the state short time
ago. He also discussed the necessity
of having the question of loans and
leases more fully regulated by law in
order that the era of special privi-
lege may end and the time come
when every citizen may claim equal
privileges under the law. Discussing
the question of taxes, Captain Davis
referred to the taxless state scheme
of his competitor of the same name.
He characterized this as something
of a delusion and declared that it
would never work out for the reason
that it contemplated a scheme of gov
eminent under which those who
should pay the most taxes would pay
none at all, but all the burdens of
government be saddled upon the poor,
the borrowing classes.
CAPTAIN Davis said that without
desiring to reflect in any manner
upon the campaign made by his COM
petitors, it was still true that he
was the only one that was speaking
out against the admitted evils of
state government as at present con-
Quoted. He expects to do this
throughout the campaign, regardless
of the political effect upon himself,
for, as he said, he "would never con-
sent to be trimmer nor a candidate
afraid to condemn wrong and evil for
fear of losing votes"

OPTIONS ARE
NOW READY
Great Northern Has 30 Days in Which
To Close Deal For New Division
Yards at Boomers Ferry
IC LOOKS LIKE A SURE THING
May Take Up ia Acres Instead Of
Only 81

Through its right-of-way agent, A.
M.Anderson, of Spokane, the Great
Northern railway company has Sc
cured 30 day options on 124.57 acres
of land about three-quarters of a
mile east of the city limits of Bon
ners Ferry. The tract is to be used
for freight division yards.
The abstracts of the land on which
options have been taken, are being
forwarded at once to the st. Paul
offices of the Great Northern for
final approval. Under the options
given the Great Northern will pay
on the average of 5000 per acre. The
land is owned by NJ L. Rowe, the
Bonners Ferry Lumber company
Mike Fitzpatrick, Oliver Rabdau and
Mary Rabdau.
Right-of-way Agent Anderson,
while in the city in connection with
the business of securing options,
gave out the impression that it was
would close the present deals for land
east of Bonners Ferry. Upon his
arrival here two weeks ago he nego-
tiated for an S0-acre tract only. The
fact that options were taken on
lAtsOf AIRES gives CItUtlCS mere u
the rumor that the Great Northern
plans to move its shops here from
Hillyard. The supposed efforts to in
clude Great Northern property at
Hillyard within the city limits of
that town and so make it taxable
for city purposes is said to have
something to do with the rumored
change.
Mr.. Anderson is said to have
stated that if the Great Northern
railway company establishes its
freight division yards here it will
mean that about % trains will tie up
here and over 200 men will make
Boomers Ferry their home. In the
neighborhood of S150,000 will be
spent clearing and leveling and fill
ing in the yards and building coal
chutes, round house, repair shops
etc. The payroll which would come
to Boomers Ferry would amount to
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month.
A. ]. Kent of this city assisted
Right-of-way Agent Anderson in Sc
curing options. Mr.. Kent states that
there is no possibility of a new town
site being located adjoining the pro-
posed new division point pards owing
to the topography of the land. If
the Great Northern takes up its OPP
tons it is assured that the county
commissioners will put in a 30-foot
wide highway connecting Bonners
Ferry with the division yards and
that a jitney service will be estab-
lished to bring railway employees to
and from their homes in Bonners
Ferry.

ASK $33l,OOO
REDUCTIONS
Northern Pacific Railway Company l.
Not Pleased With Assessor
Bush's Valuations
THEY THREATEN TO BRING SUIT
Says the Lands Are Mountainous and
Inaccessible

The Northern Pacific Railway has
made application to the board of
county commissioners of Boundary
county, which until Monday, July
oath, will sit as a board of equaliza-
ton, for reductions of taxes on the
Northern Pacific lands in Boundary
county to the amount of 1891 900.
The application for reduction of
taxes was made Wednesday by
Charles A. Murray, tax attorney and
commissioner for the Northern Pa
cifc in the Northwest district and ].
C. Fairchild, Northern Pacific tax
agent.
The commissioners went over the
tax rolls and Investigated each par
eel of land owned by the Northern
Pacific railway company where the
taxes were alleged to be excessive.
The matter was laid on the table and
it is likely that the request of the
railway company will be denied al
though the representatives of the
company threatened to bring suit in
case no settlement was effected salts
factory to their company.
Messrs Fairchild and Murray claim
that the lands in question are of
little value on account of their being
located in mountainous, rocky and in
accessible districts.
In one instance they claimed that
white pine on their land would only
bring $1.00 per thousand. Assessor
Bush attended the conference and adj
vised the commissioners that last fall
an attempt had been made to buy
timber on Northern Pacific lands and
the company had replied to a letter
written that it had no land for sale.
Mr.. Bush stated that timber in the
forest reserve adjoining the North
ern Pacific land had been sold for
$500 per thousand.
Last year the lands of the North
ern Pacific railway company were as
sessed under Bonner county officials
and the assessed valuation was S671,-
145. This year Assessor Bush raised
this valuation between $4,000 and
$4,000. The Northern Pacific rail-
way company owns 95,843 acres of
land in Boundary county.

THEY WOULD DIVIDE COUNTIES
The Creation of at Least Four New
Counties Will Be Asked

At least four new counties are now
knocking for admittance into the
state and hope to secure favorable
consideration at the hands of the
Fourteenth Idaho legislature which
will be created at the election in No
vember. They are, Bull, to be made
out of Twin Falls county; Selway
and Randall, to be created out of
Idaho county, and Butte county to
emerge from Blaine and other east
ern Idaho counties.
All four names are familiar. They
have confronted legislatures before,
fact their hackers still have vivid
recollections of. For instance, Bull
county was "almost" a new unit of
the state, only it was left high and
dry on a committee shelf while its
sponsors ragged. Butte county man.

legislature only to expire, while Sell
way and Randall county division bills
failed to weather the stormy legis-
lative waters. 1t is not at all prob
able that county division fights will
end with these four ambitious coun-
ties in the race. Others will crop ur
before the legislature convenes or
Jan. next.
The advocates of the divisions are
already very active. Plats and map:
are being drawn and valuation data
is being secured. Line-ups for coun
ty officials are not being forgotten
Boundary lines are being settled anC
fights promise to be staged for new
county seats. The prospects are ex

comes to splitting up the state int
