The supreme court granted new
trial in the case of Adolph j. Wies-
ner versus the Boomers Ferry Lum-
Der company, passing on the appeal

the judgment and sends the case

gence exercised on the part of the
company in the employment of a SER
want to give warning signals in case
of danger. The decision was writ

Cured in by his associates. The
court held in the syllabus of its de-
cision: 'While servants are en-
ployed for the prosecution of law
full but hazardous business, they
assume the risks of such employ
ment arising from the negligence
of co-employes, subject, however, to
the exception that the master is liza
BILE for such injuries as accrue to
the servant from the negligence of
fellow servant, in the selection of
whom the master has been culpably
negligent"

Decision Favorable To
Boomers Ferry Lbr. Co.

dispatch received here yester-
day from Washington, D. c., an
nounced that the Interstate Com
merce Commission had completed a
thorough investigation of the alleged
freight rate discrimination against
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Company
to Montana points over the Great
Northern railway and that the COM
mission had found the rates to be
unreasonable and had ordered them
reduced.
This dispatch means the end of
struggle begun many years ago
by Manager r. H. Mccoy when he
found that the local lumber COM
pany was not able to compete with
the Montana mills on account of the
discrimination in freight rates, the
discrimination not so much result
ing from any act of the Great
Northern railway company as from
the actions taken by the Montana
State Railway Commission which de-
termined, seemingly, to force the
Great Northern to make equal re-
auctions in Montana whenever it
attempted to give Idaho mills an
even break, mileage considered.
1t was wearisome task to bring
the grievance of the local lumber
company to the attention of and

POOR DRAINAGE ON EAST END
Spring and Surface Water Washing
Out Street Fills Each Spring

Spring and surface water has
raised havoc this spring with pri-
vate property and street fills in
the east end of town along Main
street of Eaton and the residents of
the. district believe that steps should
be taken at once to remedy a sit
uation which is, each spring, de-
stroying a great deal of the work
done in the way of Improvement the
year previous.
AT the south end of Alturas ave
spring water is drained through a
wooden culvert through private prop
erty and along Main street of Eaton
and into the gulch dividing the
James and Gray properties. In the
winter time the wooden culverts
freeze and in the spring the water
overfows and consequently the fills
on private and public property are
washed out each year. The spring
washouts are certain to occur each
year unless the water can be cared
for in another manner and the resi-
dents of the east end figure that
it would be cheaper for the town
and cheaper for private owners if this
water could be carried to the Koot-
enai through culvert going straight
to the river from the south bend of
Alturas street. Such an improve
ment, it is figured would be perma-
nent and not cost much more than
altering the drainage system in its
present course.

& Zimmerman To
Have A New Brick Home

ants and the weather was favorable
for building, with a brick structure
which would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The new brick will
be divided into two store rooms, one
of which will be occupied by the City
Meat Market. A complete modern
cold storage plant will be installed
in the rear of the building.
Two brick business blocks are now
being constructed in Bonners Ferry
and one other besides the Nicholson
e. Zimmerman building has been
contracted for while it is possible
that the contract for still another
will be let in the near future.

A deal was closed Saturday
whereby Nicholson & Zimmerman,
proprietors of the City Meat Market,
purchased the Mary A. Bunting
property on Main street, the frame
buildings now on the site being occu-
pied by the Sunset Barber Shop and
C. H. Bixler's restaurant, The Grill.
The lot has a frontage on Main
street of 40 feet and is 1877 feet
deep.
Messrs. Nicholson & Zimmerman
stated this morning that they would

could be made with the present ten

secure an investigation of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and dur
ing the years consumed in this task
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Com
pany operated its plant, most of the
time, at a loss. Last winter the
officials of the company became dis
couraged and at one time decided
to discontinue operations here. Then
the price of lumber advanced and
there seemed a possibility that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would soon render a decision in the
case and Mr.. Mccoy decided to run
the plant at least one more sea-
son.
When the officials of the Boomers
Ferry Lumber Company have ascer-
tanned just what reduction in rates
will be made they will then be able
to determine whether or not the
plant here can be successfully oper-
ated at its full capacity.
The news of the favorable de-
cision means a great deal to Bon
ners Ferry, its business men and
its citizens and it is to be hoped
that it will mean the increasing of
work and insure well-earned profits
for those who have invested their
money in the Bonners Ferry Lum-
Der Company.

WALLACE, Idaho, Oct.

made his final argument for
conviction of Herman ROssi,
ON trial for the murder of
Clarence DaIquist, artist.
ROssi IL one of the wealthiest
men i'm Idaho. The case goes
to the Jury before night.
Rossi is pleading the unwritten
law. In his final attack today,
however. the district attorney
disregarded that defense and as
saulted the temporary insanity
theory of the accused.
He cited the testimony of JUS
tice Of the Peace Walker, who
swore Rossi told him all details
Of the shooting shortly after it
occurred. The state contends an
insane man would not have been
sufficiently rational to do this.
John p. Gray, a close personal
friend of Rossi, is defending him.
Calling on the jury to acquit,
Gray cried: 81 am not pleading
loi lSC' dHl pitduiilS lOT tuc
life OF my friend. If there were
more men like Rossi we could
raize our jails and chop down the
gallows."
The climax in the trial came
when Rossi took the stand to tell
in his own words of his fight to
save Mrs. Rossi from dishonor
and to outline the events leading
up to the shooting of her al
legged violator.
Rossi spoke with noticeable
effort. His voice, usually deep,
was shaky.
After enumerating his long
list of public offices, including
the presidency of the state board
OF education, he reached the
story of his marriage to the
woman whose weakness brought
tragedy and ruin to him.

now?" interposed Attorney Gray.
