regular meeting CT the Board OF

Il had previously been stated "3at
the Board had agreed to provide i
teacher for one day a week ut an
expenditure of $3.50 per week, t2r
regular grade teachers to carr
on the work the remaining forr
days. Owing to the fact that none
cf the teachers had trained for t G
work, it was felt that the Plan
would not lead to the desired re
suits. The visiting committee
asked the Board if they would
consider the proposition Of Sc
curing a teacher trained in the de-
velcpment of children's voices, Il
the ladies guaranteed the differ
ence in expenditure. By this pla9
the children would have the ad,
vantage of daily instruction ans
the community would gain lead
err in musical activities.
A letter was read from Dr.
Dams, head of the Conservators
of Music, at Cornell University
stating he could furnish an excel
lent teacher, who had completee,
the four years course in the train
ing school for supervisors il
music, for the salary of $3.50.
After d C u o n the Boart
agreed to pay $500 and purchas
the necessary books, very few
being required the first year, tn
ladies guaranteeing to raise tn

We again declare our steadfaSt
belief in a protective tariff. We
oppose the so-called doctrine Of
tariff for revenue only" because
it wholly ignores the high stand
ard of compensation and of living
enjoyed by the American working
man, which can only be maintain
ed and protected by a tariff which
will prevent an unfair and un~
equal competition between the
products of the poorly paid laboH
of Europe and the we'll paid labor
Of this country.
We condemn the present Demo
cratic National administration as
weak. inefficient and eXtravagant.
We assert that no considerations
of political expediency could jus
tify President of the United
States in placing at the head OF
the great departments of govern

unskilled and incompetent nonen
titles whose sole recommendation
for office resided in the fact thai
they were considered to be ode

Bad Fire Tuesday Night

A blaze which was discovered about
ten o'clock Tuesday night this week
in Dell Canes barber shop caused a
damage of in the neighborhood of
81 1000, the loss being partially COW
cred by insurance Dell Canes bar
Der shop was ruined while John A.
Walden's stock of mems furnishings
was badly damaged by smoke and
water.
The fire is believed to have started
from a coal heater in the rear of
the barber shop as the building close
to the stove was more badly burned
than any other part. The flames
spread rapidly but the conf1agration
was soon under the control of the
members of the fire department who
had three streams of water playing
on the building.
AS soon as an adjustment can be
made of their fire losses Messrs
Walden and Cane will decide whether
or not they will rebuild. Both mer
plan to start new stores as soon as
locations can be secured.

ANOTHER NEW BUSINESS FIRM
Amos and b. F. Payne Lease O'Cal-
laghan Building for 15c Store

Amos Payne and B. F. Payne,
brothers, have leased the O'Callaghan
building on Main street, formerly oc-
cupied by the st. Louis restaurant
and Charles O'Callaghan's law of
fees where they plan to open up a
five, ten and fifteen cent store on
Saturday, February Goth. Messrs.
Payne are now engaged in remodel
ing the interior of the building and
will install all new fixtures. They will
put in a complete line of notions,
light hardware, tinware and granite
ware, crockery and jewelry. This
stock they expect to arrive next
week.
The Payne Brothers come here
from Dayton, Wash, where they con-
Quoted a business for several years,
similar to the one they will conduct
here. They were quite successful
and only recently sold out their en-
tire stock and goodwill. Both are
enterprising and up-to-date business
men and there is no doubt but that
they will meet with success in their
business venture in this district.

The attorneys for the Great North
ern railway company and the attor-
neys for School District No. II, Lee
onia, Idaho, have entered into a stipu-
lation whereby they agree to con-
tinue the hearing in the matter of
the temporary injunction and order
to show cause secured in the district
court before Judge Flynn by the
Great Northern railway company in
it's suit filed in Boundary county in
which it seeks to restrain the trus-
tees of School District No. II from
bonding the property of the district
in the sum of $4,000, until the main
case is tried at the spring term of
court here.
The suit of the Great Northern
railway company was filed about jan
uary 18th. In the plaintiffs COM
plant it was alleged that the $12,-
600 bond issue proposed by the trus-
tees of School District No. II was
for the purpose to "fraudulently and
unlawfully lay out and expend the
proceeds of said bonds for ends and
purposes wholly unauthorized by the
laws of the state" The plaintiff al
legged that the district accommodates
only % pupils and that $4,000 was
an unnecessary amount to appropri-
ate for school purposes.
Since the suit started it is learned
that the deal for the sale of the pro-
posed. bond issue had evidently beer
made prior to the time named in th'
bond sale tisement-January 22
1916-for on January RI, 1916, Coun
ty Treasurer w. B. Hawkins, o.

Locals Win BY Large Score

The town basketball team went to
Round Prairie Saturday and played
the game that decided the champion
ship of the county, winning by an
overwhelming score something like
1872 to 5. No exact score was kept
after the century mark was reached.
The score keeper was the busiest
person connected with the game.
Before the game started it looked
as if the prairie boys would put up
firm opposition as the hall was
small and they could cover their OPP
ponents easily but in just a minute
after play was called the Boomers
Ferry boys had Gagged goals. II
was not even good practice for the
team as they got the toss and with
couple of clean passes dropped
goals at the rate of three per min
ute. The Boomers team joined intc
the humor of the situation after ter
minute of play and allowed their OPP
poneuts to take a shot for fielC
basket.
Boomers loafed the remainder O.
the half. The score registered Al
to g Coach Warren thought to stem
the tide in the End half by replacing
a man but it didn't help matters

time there is no question but what

points; however, the timers whistle
put quietus on the slaughter-not

years the Indian bureau has neglect
Indians, and that the local physician
out of sympathy for them has been
giving them free medical attention.
l visited the mission last summer
and learned that many of them are
frequently sick, and because of the
lack of medical attention the govern
ment should supply that many lives
are lost which might otherwise have
been saved.
l am advised that the condition
of these Indians and the need of
medical attention has been brought
to the attention of the bureau at
different times. / think it has been
nearly two years since l first adj
vised the bureau of their need of
medical attention, and now / am adj
vised by the Office letter of the 18th
that the agency physician will alb
sent himself from his duties at the
agency for three days in the month
in order that he may spend one day
at the mission, the other two days
being spent in travelling to and fro.
If the appropriation available is
not sufficient to afford these Indians
the medical attention they require,
and you will so state, will endeavor
to have the appropriation increased.
1t is certainly a situation that de-
mands early and favorable action if
these Indians are to survive.
Sincerely yours,
ADDISON T. SMITH.
