Officers Make
Liquor Seizures
FIND WHISKEY CACHED IN THE BUSHES
Owner Not Found; Suspect Is Arrested, But Later
Discharged As Authorities Had No Proof

The authorities made quite
haul of whiskey Wednesday morn
ing although they did not succeed
i'm capturing the owner. The
find was made through informa-
ton furnished by J. ID. Neville,
who resides i'm the house south of
the dravbridge across the st.
Joe river.
Mr.. Neville saw a young man
go into the bushes across the
track from O'Dwyer's feed store,
take some bottles out of a sack
and go away with them. He and
Geo. O'Dwyer went to the place
and found the sack with a few
bottles left i'm it. He notified the
sherirs Office and Deputy Sheriff
Toohcy responded. While New
lille was telephOning man came
and carried off the sack that he
had seen.
Toohey looked around and un-
der a half of am old Valise found
another sack with l3 pint bottles
i'm it which he took to the Jail.
While he was gone O'Dwyer no.
ticed still another man i'm the
railroad yard who was evidently
watching the proceedings with
considerable interest. The man
started toward the bushes and
O'Dwyer called to him asking him
to divide up. The fellow pre-
tended not to know what O'Dwyer
was talking about and while they
were talking the latter saw Omcer
Booth approaching and told the
man he could explain it to the
policeman.
us that cop?" the man in
quired, and upon being answered
in the affirmative he walked rap
idly around the ware house and
started towards the depot. Booth
overlook him and put him under
arrest taking him to the sher-
im's Office. Here he denied own
crship of the liquor and said that
ne was waiting there to get a
drink. He also told the officers
that there was still another sack
of liquor cached there and offered
to show where it was. The Of
hcers went back with him and
found the second sack, which, like
the other, contained 13 pint bot
Ties of whiskey.
After questioning the man the
prosecuting attorney became con-
vinced that he was telling the
truth about the liquor and ordered
him discharged.

laws, as we'll as all others, will be
enforced without partiality, and a
lumberjack will receive no differ

he can be depended upon to per-

Tested for the past year or more.
There are so few contested
places ON the Democratic ticket
that many Democrats will be
tempted to vote a Republican bal
lot at the primary election in or
der to assist some Republican
friend. This should not be
done. You owe a duty to your
party to see that the very best
men are nominated for positions
on that ticket, men for whom you
feel you can vote and for whose
election you can conscienbioUsly
work.
If you vote your party ballot at
the primaries you have done your
duty and we urge every Democrat
to perform that duty by asking for
a Democratic ticket at the pri-
maries and put an X after the
name of e. B. holland. BY doing
that you will be assisting to nom
mate a man whose election you
can consistently work for, a man
who will make a good officer and
one you will be proud to see
sheriff.

Will DredSe
Spokane River
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AT HARRISON
Committee Appointed To Find Acreage Affected
and Cost Of Proposed Work

There was a good crowd of the
property owners of the Occur d.
Alene, st. Joe and st. Maries river
valleys present at the meeting at
Harrison Tuesday called for the
purpose of discussing the adVisa-
bility of forming a drainage dis
trict covering the land i'm the
three valleys subject TO overflow.
The meeting was organized by
the election of NJ. A. Kiger of Har-
rison as chairman and NJ. S. Par
ker of st. Maries as secretary.
A. A. Darknell of this city was
then called upon TO state the OBJ
jcct of the meeting. which was to
discuss and formulate plans to
guard against damage by overflow
from the high water. His idea
was to dredge the Spokane river
where it leaves Coeur d'Alene lake
five hundred feet the width of The
river, and four feet deep. This
would afford a means of carrying
of the surplus water at the time
of high water and prevent it from
backing up into the rivers and
.overlowing the bottom lands.
The proposition was considered
favorably by those present and a
committee appointed consisting
of L. j. McAndrew, as chairman,
Dan Shanhan Nnd A. A. Darknen
To collect data pertaining to this
project and to report later at an
other meeting to be called by the
secretary. They were instructed
to get an approximate estimate of
the acreage of the valleys of the
rivers tributary to Occur d'Alene
lake and data regarding the cost
of the dredging proposed. They
we're also instructed to ascertain
what they could in regard to- any
irrespective damage which might
arise from lowering the level of
the lake.
The project was started about
three years ago. AT that time il
was proposed To- cut The channel
/ deeper and thus lower the level
of the lake more than il is pro-
posed to do under the present
plans and there were some claims
o1 damages by parties owning
property along the lake shore. Al
That time The Washington Water
Power company offered TO do the
work of dredging the Spokane
river ON condition that the drain.
age district which was proposed
t. be created would protect the
company from all claims for dam
ages arising from lowering Tho
level of the lake.
The project was abandoned al
that time because the courts helC
that the Idaho drainage law ha,
not been properly passed and was
invalid. This defect has since
been remedled by the passage %
another drainage law which the
courts have held is valid.
The sentiment of the meeting
was very favorable to the projec
and it is believed that there will
be an even larger attendance a
the meeting which will be calle
to hear the report of the commit
tee. Among those present at th
meeting Tuesday from this vicin
ity were A. A. Darbnen, p. 7

I'm T.. b. holland the Democrats
have a candidate for sheriff whom
every member of the party can
be proud of and can support with
the knowledge that he is support
ing a man we'll qualified to fill the
position.
Mr.. Nolan is no politician and
does not claim to own or control
any political party, but, in the
eyes of the common people, that
is no fault. He will not have to
devote the time which belongs To
the people to attending to party
politics, but will be able to devote
his entire time to attending to the
duties of the Office and will thus
be able TO give an efficient ad-
'ministration.
He is strictly honest and there
will be no petty grating in the
sherin's Office if he is elected tC
that position. With him in thaI
omce his friends will not have &c

What shall be done to overcome The
seepage? That question has obtruded
itself upon every business man or resi,
dence owner in Gunnison during the
last two weeks.
For some years the seepage question
has been gradually getting worse, as
more and more land above town was put
under ditch. and when ground water
comes to within three feet of the sur
face over most Of the city; when il en-
ters oil the cellars and Easements, floods
the furnaces and ruins much property;
when 1t sets all the cell pools awash and
floats all this dangerous sewage In .
slow, but steady sweep under the town,
then we must look alive.
A special meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce was called Wednesday noon
at Laveta. Mayor Blaekstock and
other memben Of the town council at.
tended and general discussion was hsld
over the situation. We are al pretty
well convinced about the fact Of the
seepage. and where It comes from, but
unless the town buys up thsss ranches,
