&c the submarine could not have been
ignorant that he was atsackinS n
channel steamer making regular ser
vice between France and England. The
route Of these steamers differs from
shat Of other merchantmen. and is per
fectly known To AL sailors. Moreover,
The route between bicppc and Folkc-

NIT passengers to escape.
ct should be remarked that Herr
Won Jagow admits that :, German sub
marine sank a steamer at 3:25 o'clock,
and this hour is the German cuuiva-
lent Of $50, when the Sussex was at
tackled Moreover. Herr Won Jagow
by his description in fact describes the
place and hour when the Sussex was
struck. He gives even the detail that
thc-forward mart of the bow was blown
up to the bridge. which is exactly the
condition OF the Sussex.

Critic Case Is Heard

The suit of D. C. Hoffman, editor
OF the Daily Critic, against w. Fl.
Decamp, owner of the Critic Publish
ing company, in which the plaintiff
sought to recover in the neighbor-
hood of $170 for wages alleged to he
due, was heard before Probate Judge
O'Callaghan Tuesday. The case was
taken under advisement until this
morning when a decision for the
plaintiff was rendered.
The defendant interposed counter
claim which had been assigned to
him from ]. M. Schnatterly, former
owner of the Critic. Schnatterly Sc
cured the claim from a physician who
had at one time rendered medical
services for Mrs. Hoffman. The
plaintiff claimed that the physician
had agreed to take stock of the Idaho
Gold and Radium Mining company
in pay for his services, the stock to
be valued at s1.00 per share. The
dispute arose over whether or not
the plaintiff should pay the Doctors
bill in mining stock at $1.00 per
share or at the market value. S.
E. Henry was attorney for the plain
tiff and Myrvin Davis represented
the defendant.

Wrecked Engine to HiIIyard

The engine of the Inflated Great
Northern train which was recently
wrecked by rockslide east of
Katka, was taken out of the Koote-
mai river last Sunday and hauled to
Hillyard where it will be repaired.
The engine was badly damaged. The
wrecking crew did not find the bodies
of the engineer and fireman who
were drowned when the engine and
tender bounded over the rockslide
and into the river. A $50 reward
has been offered for the body of En-
gineer McGinn. 1t is said that the
tender is buried in eight feet of mud
and under 20 feet of water in the
Kootenai river and that the Great
Northern railway company will not
try to recover it.

Bitter complaints are being made
daily about the condition of that part
of the National Parks Highway be-
tween Elmira and Standpoint by both
tourists and business men, all of
whom claim that it is the worst piece
of road along the route.
Those who have had experience in
road building claim that but very
few days work and only a small
sum of money expended would put
the road in fair passable shape. The
work should have been done a month
or two ago, it is said, while the roads
were damp.
To put it lightly this stretch of
road is disgrace to Bonner
county and a reproach to those who
are in charge of its road building and
road repairing. The road is used by
some of the largest taxpayers of
Bonner county and opens up the most
valuable and fertile land of the
county. 1t runs through the mag
nifcent Samuels ranch of some TO-
900 acres, a ranch upon which Mr..
Samuels has spent thousands of dol
lars. If for no other reason than for
his personal benefit Bonner county
could well afford to keep the road
in first class shape. Boundary county
will absolutely guarantee the best of
roads for the convenience of such
men as Mr.. Samuels if they will
come to this district and improve
our land as Mr.. Samuels has done in
Bonner county.
The state officials have signifed a
willingness to take over the road
from the Montana state line to and
