New County
Petitions Filed
Would Include South Part of Bonner and

county is Lake, AMI Spirit Lake is
designated for temporary county
seat, the permanent county seat
to be decided at the election
two years after the organization of
the new county.
AS the petitions have the re-
quired number of signatures, the
county commissioners have no
choice but to submit the question
to the voters. The question will,
therefore, appear on a special
ballot at the general election in
November. The vote of the
people is advisory to the legisla-
ture, which has the final voice re-
gardless of the will of the people
expressed in tie election.
The northern boundary of the
proposed new county runs few
miles south of Newport and will
embrace Blanchard, Clagstone,
Coleman and Granite districts in
the new county. The southern
boundary runs three miles south of
Rathdrum. 1t is described as fol-
lows: Commencing at northwest
corner OF section 24-5I-6, thence
east to southeast corner of section
1854, thence north ore mile,
thence east miles, thence north
2 miles 10 north line OF township
81, thence east to the Shoshone
county line.

lin, John Mem ahon, 4. w. Cady,

ers. Spirit Lake, Rathdrum,

signers.
More than one-hall OF the quail
fed electors Of the proposed new
county, numbering about 500 have

County Auditor
Dandy Quits
Commissioners Charged IneAiciency and
Demanded Resignation.

Occur d'Alene, Aug. AT the
request Of the county commissioners
County Auditor D. f. Dandy resigned
today. The communication from the
commissioners which caused the
resignation follows:
"You are hereby officially requested
TO tender your resignation TO the
board Of county commissioners of
Kootenai county, Idaho, at once.
"The reasons for the demand for
your resignation, as they appear to
the board, are as follows:
you have been IN the Office which
you now hold for period OF five and
one half years, and during that time
you have had ample opportunity to
familiarize yourself with how the
Office should and can be conducted
We are convinced that you have been
negligent in your duty in regard to
carrying on the affairs OF your office.
Your method and system have been
weak and very inefficient, and on
account thereof other officers of the
county were gwen an opportunity to
violate the law without being detect
ed and Kootenai county sustained
considerable loss thereby.
'1t also appears that by reason of
the system that you have adopted and
the inetiiciency of your work dlscrep-
ancIes appear on the records which
never should have occurred, or could
have occurred, had you fully complied
with the law and kept your records as
they should have been kept, all of
which must necessarily prove detri-
mental to the best interests of
Kootenai county.
1.-The board has come to the
conclusion that the Office which you
are holding must be conducted in a
different manner than it has been in
the past, IN order to protect the best
Interests Of the county, and you have
not proved yourself competent to do
So"
This communication was signed by
Commissioners J L Ferguson, Charles
Waggoner aud f. w. Esgate. An
audit Of the county books showed
that many concerns and individuals
had escaped taxation 10 the last
several years.
ln his resignation Mr. Dandy said:
~ hereby tender my resignation as
clerk of the district court and ex-
oficio auditor and recorder of
Kootenai county, Idaho, to take effect
next Monday, August IA.
II tender this resignation in
response to your written request that
resign from the Office, this day
delivered TO me, but without admit
ting any of the grounds upon which
you base the demand for my reslgna-
tlon, except the one ground that the
sistem which i have foil wed IN
handling the business of the Office has
resulted in the discrepancies which
should not have existed.
"As you desire to have the system
Changed, do not wish to stand in
The way, and therefore step aside sc
that no obstacle will be in the way
OF the installation OF different, and
hope better, system than the one
used in the past"
