Important Cases
In Federal Court
Two FOR DAMAGES FOR OVERFLOW
Milwaukee Railway Company Tax Suits Will Prob
ably Be Reached Next Week

The United States district court
has been in session at Occur d.
Acne this week. There were
four civil cases from this county
on the docket, at least three of
which are Of more than ordinary
Importance.
Two Of these cases are against
the Washington Water Power Co.
for damages for overflow of lands
along the river. These are the
cases of Parker VS.. the Washing
ton Water Power Co. and r. X.
Marshall against the Washing
ton Water Power Co. Both of
these cases were before the court
on demurrers to the complaints
and in each case the dmurrers
were Overruled and the defend
ant given time to answer, the
cases being continued for the
term
A third case from this county
was that of the Village of Plum
mer VS.. Charles A. Cooper. This
is a litigation in regard to a part
OF the land within the mile square
Of the government townsite Of
Plummer.
The fourth case and the one of
the most interest to the people Of
this county is that of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
Company vs.. Benewah County and
the officers Of the county. This
is an action brought by the rail
road company to restrain the
county from selling its property
for delinuent taxes.
The railroad company objected
to a part of the taxes, the special
tax of the Plummer Independent
Highway District and the special
taxes of the Plummer school dis
trict and one other district, as be-
ing excessive and refused to pay
them. The company offered to
pay the balance of its taxes and
rendered the money to the coun-
ty treasurer. On the advice OF
counsel he refused to accept a
part of the taxes without the
whole amount was paid and il
was suggested to the compan,
that it pay the part which it OBJ
jected to under protest and the
matter could be settled in court
This the company refused to dc
and the entire tax became delin-
quent. 1t is to prevent the sail
Of the property of the cOmpan,
for these delinquent taxes tina
the action is brought.
The amount in controversy
including interest and penalty, i
about eighty-six thousand dol
lars. The amount which tn
. company objected to paying i
the first place was in the neigh
. borhood of eight thousand dol
. lars.
1t is believed that the case wi
be heard this coming week. Tn

MOBILE MAN TALKS ON C|TY'S PLANS ID
 GET MORE REVENUE
T. w. Sims Says Proposed River Tax Will Not Affect Up-River
 Cities

Birmingham has nothing to fear from the tax which the city commissioners of Mobile propose to levy on freight coming up the Warrior river in the opinion of T w. Sims of Mobile, president of the state night.
 This charge, or tax, which certain members of the city commission of Mo- bile think should be levied on all up- river freight passing over the city docks will not affect Birmingham and other cities up the river" said Mr. Sims. While I am not familiar with the provisions of the proposed tax, or charge, know that such a proposition has been under con- sioeration in Mobile for sometime. The matter was preached in the Chamber of Commerce there several years ago, and many of the leading citizens of the city favored making charge for freight con-
 ing up the river which passed over the city docks.
 q am certain that the charge, if made would not be very heavy, and it would be paid by the merchants and shippers of Mobile. Of course, as in all such cases, the question of who actually pays the money is not very material. as the charge is added to the selling price of the goods and the consumer, in the end, foots the bill.
 MT. Sims stated that he was not posted or the movement which had been insti- tuted by the members of the city com mission of Mobile to test the constitu- tionality of the port commission act which placed the control of the harbor and pi- lotage charges in Mobile in the hands of a commission named by the governor and took it from, the domination of the city commission
 Mr. Sims stated that Mobile was fully cognizant of the benefits which were to be derived from the full and free use of the Warrior river by the mineral and in dustrial district of the state. and the sea- port expected a large volume of business to come down the stream as soon as adequate facilities could be arranged to connect Birmingham with the river. MT. Sims expressed the opinion that Mobile S opportunity in the matter of foreign trade was in the direction of South and Gen. tral America rather than with Europe High charter rates were blamed by MT. Sims for the decrease in Mobiles foreign trade He stated that the high rates which could be secured for ships operating ir the transatlantic commerce had taken away many ships from Mobile.
 Mr. Sims is in Birmingham on business connected with the state tax commits sion. coming here to confer with John Ro- senstihl member of the equalization board of Jefferson county. If all the county boards were like the one in Jef- ferson" said MT. Sims "there would be little need for the state board. The busi- ness is running smoothly here, and we expect i. to continue in that way"

 One cannot help becoming nervous and feeling tired and worn out when the kidneys fail to filter and throw out of the system the poisonous waste mat ter that causes kidney troubles and bladder ailments.
 Backache is one of Natures danger signals that the Kidneys are clogged p,p and inactive. It is often n followed urinary disorders, puffy swellings un- der the eyes, swollen ankles and pain
 Foley Kidney Pills get right at the source of trouble. They invigorate the Ikiidneys to healthy action ana s;l When a the tions the poisonous waste matter is eliminated from the system.

PENSACOLA EXTENDS CORDIAL WELCOME Simpson Talks of Greeting Given First Train Over
 G. F. & A. Railroad

| Pensacola held a great celebration
 to mark the completion of the Gulf. | Florida and Alabama railroad up to kimbrough, where it connects with the | Southern,'' said R. L. Simpson, general who attended the affair.
 "The occasion was declared a general holiday in Pensacola and everybody l in that city and hundreds of visitors from the surrounding country took part in the celebration. A big parade was one of the features of the day. The
 marines from United States warship
 which was in the harbor, the militia and several bands, tended to make the
 parade splendid spectacle
 "A banquet was rendered President
 Megargel of the new railroad and the visitors who made the trip to Pensacola
 on the special train. Pensacola was full ly cognizant of the importance of this new road, and the people of that city
 were especially impressed With the fact
 that the road gives a new connection with the Birmingham district The
 business men of Pensacola expect to re- celve, in due time, a large volume of freight for export from this port. The new line joins the Mobile di- vision of the Southern railway about 45 miles below Selma at Kimbrough.
 Kimbrough is 40 miles above Pensa- cola, and the Gulf Florida and Ala bama line is now in operation that far. It is said by officials of the line that work is to be continued on the road until it enters the rich mineral district of Alabama. Just what will be the northern terminal of the line is not
 known at this time, although Tusca-
 loosa and Jasper have been named as the objective points. The Southern
 railway is now operating two trains daily from Birmingham by way of Sell
 ma, which connect with the line at Marlborough"
