Gathering Caia
For Tax Suit

Floyd Williams, tax attorney
for the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST..
Paul Railway company, was in
the city Wednesday. The rail
~ ay company and lhe county have
been unable lo reach settle
ment i'm regard lo the company's
taxes and the company has decid-
ed to take the matter into the
courts. Mr.. Williams was here
examining the records and col
lccting data for the attorneys of
.the company to prepare their
complaint.
The company has offered TO
lay a portion of its taxes but the
county refused to accept a para
unless the whole was paid and
the whole tax has been returned
dciinquent. 10 is not known jus,
what form the action Will take.
'1he company cannot bring an ac-
lion against the county To- have
portion of its taxes which it
considers illegal refunded as they
could have done if they had been
paid under protest. Neither
does it seem possible that they
can bring am action to have the
delinquent certificates cancelled
Unless they pay the amount of
taxes which is admitted to be le-
gal into court and then leave TIE
court TO decided i'm regard to That
part which they claim TO be H..
legal
The questions to be decided by
the courts are important both to
the county and railroad as they
will decide whether the railroad
company stands the same as other
taxpayers i'm regard TO special
taxes for school and highway
purposes.

Visitor In City

Former representative Burton

candidacy for Congress and took
Occasion to meet many Of our cit
Hens. Mr.. French expressed
himself as greatly pleased with
the outlook for the Republican
party i'm the nation as we'll as in
the state and is confident that
Mr.. Hughes will be elected.
As TO his own candidacy Mr..
French is very confident. He
said 81 have covered a large part
OF the state and am more than
pleased with the assurances Of
support and cooperation that
meet. My serN ice of 10 years
nm Congress is the chief plank in
my platform and I am glad to let
my candidacy rest largely upon
what / have been called upon to
do. Again, l believe that with
the entire congressional delega-
ton in South Idaho, the people
generally feel that at least one
member of the House should go
to the north this time"
Mr.. French was the author Of
the Occur d'Alene Reservation
opening bill which was passed as
Ia part of the Indian appropriation
bill and was the author of the bill
giving an extension of time to the
settlers on the reservation who
could not make their payments
within the original year period.
II take especial pride in this
work, said Mr.. French, "and am
greatly pleased with the continued
growth and progress of the st.
.Maries country"

but it is new and up to two years
ago it was impossible to get i'm

an automobile was a curiosity at
at that time.
Time has worked many changes
however. Roads are being built
and we have at least one fairly
good road to Spokane by way of
Emida, another by way of Har-
rison and it is possible to get
through with a car by way of
Plummer. The opening up of
the country has brought i'm auto
mobiles and the records of the
assessors Office show 70 cars
owned in the county bearing Ida
no licenses. In addition TO these
there are several cars owned OF

Want Teachers

400 TEACHERS HERE FOR ONE WEEK
Is Plan Of County Superintendent GeFhaFt And
City Superintendent LUkenS

Miss Ruth Gcrharl, county sup
erintendent of schools, and City
superintendent f. r.. Lukens are
working TO try and bring The joint
teachers institute for the coun-
Ties of Benewah, KoQtenai and
Shoshone TO this city for this year.
The law makes it obligatory up
on the counties to hold teachers
Institutes each year and upon
those who teach in the state to
attend. In order to give great
len efficiency to these institutes it
has been the custom for several
years for counties which are close
together to unite and hold joint
Institutes. The last two of these
have been held at Occur d'Alene,
partly because it is more central
ly located and partly becaus it
being a larger city it is easier to
find acomodations for the large
number of teachers i'm attend
lance.
Mr.. Lukens and Miss Gerhart
believe. not only that ST.. Maries
is large enough to find accomo-
dations for the teachers, but that
/ it will be a good thing for this city
as we'll as for the teachers of the
county to have the institute held
here If they are successful i'm
their efforts and succeed i'm bring
ing the institute here it means
that the city will have a big un-
.dertaking on its hands TO furnish
Accommodations. 1t is expected
that there will be four hundred
teachers in attendance and they
will be here for a week.
A careful canvass of the hotels
