William Remmert .

A familiar old face to all in
this section of the county was
that of the plodding, honest and
industrious man who lived for
years on the farm known as the
Remmert farm and one of the
fine tracts of $50 acres 8 miles
southwest of this city. Feeble
for several years and the last
few months unable to get about,
senile debility and worn out
human machinery succumbed to
the inevitable and he died at his
home April a and was inferred
at the Dalton Cemetery Thurs
day Of last week, Rev. Father
Walther conducting the cere-
monies of the Lutheran Church
of which the deceased was a
member since he was IA years
of age.
William Remmert was born in
Germany January 6, 1897 and
emigrated to this country land
ing in St. Louis in 1858. He
lived in that city for a time,
then went to Illinois where he
was united in marriage to Miss
Henrietta Rehrer in 1861. When
they could do so, Mr.. and Mrs.
Remmert came back to st. Louis
and remained until 1874 when
they moved to this county, settl-
ing on Bowling Green. In 1882
the farm on which he died was
purchased and made the home

sisting of the widow and sons

One daughter died at the age of
6 and two sons in infancy.

Won Courier Prize

Miss Ruth Grotjan of Dalton
captured the gold medal offered
the high school girl winning the
greatest number of points in the
track meet at Salisbury by the
Charlton Courier.
Miss Ruth Grotjan has been a
leader In athletics and especially
in basket ball with the Dalton
team of girls for some time, and
that she is an all round young
woman athlete is attested by
her accomplishments on the
field over numbers of other good
performers. One high authority
on athletics said after the meet
at Salisbury that had Miss Ruth
entered the contest with the
boys, she would nave taken sew
eral first places.
We congratulate the Dalton
girls on their prowess, several
Others having been near the
winning mark, and Miss Ruth
particularly on her signal VIC
tory.
The medal will be beauty
and will be presented to the
successful young woman by the
director of events as soon as it
can be obtained, and will be
appropriately engraved.

\. GEORGE IDENTIFIED
Coroner Hears from His Wife
Exhumation is Probable.
Not Suicide.

Coroner Hawkins sent as a
news item to the Kansas City
Star an account of the drowning
of N. George in the Charlton
river two weeks ago.
The wife of the unfortunate
man saw the item and at once
wrote the coroner for further
particulars, tho she fully iden-
tilted the party as her husband.
She told the kind of clothes he
wore, but said he also had an
overcoat when he left home,
and a suit case, neither of which
has so far been discovered.
Coroner Hawkins has not
been advised whether the wife
or other relatives will come for
and exhume the body now in
Potters Field at the County In
firmary, but the inference by
him from a letter from the wild
ow was that such would be done.
George was on his was to JON
the pipe line gang when he met
his death by undertaking to ford
or swim the Charlton near the

The County Athletic and Lit
erary Association held its annual
track meet and literary program
at Salisbury last Friday and tho
no new records were made. the
occasion was the greatest of the
kind ever held in the County.
The merchants of the city deco
rated their windows in beautiful
and appropriate designs, the
fans got out their automobiles
and decorated them gorgeously
and placed them at the service
of officers and contestants of
the meet, and altogether the
citizens of our eastern suburb
are entitled to the highest credit
and praise for making the occa-
sion the most successful in the
history of the association.
Despite the raw, windy day,
an enormous crowd was on hand
all day at the track and at night
the big Karcher Opera House
that was, could not contain the
crowd which had assembled to
hear the literary exercises. Gold
and purple everywhere end old
Glory waving above the streets
and from public buildings and
dwellings inspired everyone.
A monster parade started from
the Wabash Station about 11:30
and after coursing the principal
streets, proceeded to the Athle-
tic grounds at the high school
building. The program, lengthy
was started in the asternooD
and under the direction Of the
ablest manager of such events
in the state, Donald Selby of M.
U. starter and referee, was car.
ried along rapidly and success
fully to the last number. Mr..

Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1917-09-11
AS OTHERS SEE US

Bonners Ferry has about half as
many business houses as Standpoint.
1t has a good paper in the Herald
and merchants appreciate the fact
by patronizing it. They do not stall
around with the plea that they shave
two papers to support" and therefore
cannot support either one.
The Hera'.' carried 1856 inches of
home advertising in it's issue this
week. Both banks, the water COM
pany, the towns four general stores,
two hardware stores, the lumber COM
pany and every small merchant in the
city are represented in its columns.
In Standpoint both banks have "cut
out" advertising; the lumber COM
panies do not care apparently to
sell any lumber to local builders and
thus they advertise to the country
at large that there is no building in
Standpoint; the Brody Drug store adj
in the Herald would give a Sand
point editor an attack of heart dis
ease and if we had had a line from
our ten-cent store and blacksmith
shop we would think the world was
coming to an end.
Bonners Ferry is a good town and
is public spirited. The county has
just bonded for SIS, 900 worth of good
roads bonds, and, while they may
scrap among themselves, when its
citizens want anything they stick to-
gether long enough to get it.
The advertising in the Herald re-
fleets the pride of the merchants
in their town and in the efforts of
Mr.. King to give them high class
newspaper.
Standpoint also has two first-class
weeklies, of which the Review is the
better of course, but the merchants
are very glad annarently, so far as
advertising goes, to let their propri-
etors advertise Standpoint abroad as
the home of good newspapers and
carry the whole financial load of the
community in making them so. There
is mighty little community pride in
Standpoint and nobody realizes it
more than its editors.-Sandpoint

SPEND MONEY
AT THE CAPITAL
$4,000 VOTED BY LAST LEGIS-
LATURE FOR LAND PROBE
BEING SPENT OTHERWISE.
Payroll for Maintenance of State
Capitol Increased-Land Board
Has Large Suspense Account

BOISE, September 10-(SpeciaD-l
Delving in the land department was
favorite pastime of the Democracy
and especially of the Boise News
during the Republican administra-
tions and it seems quite remarkable
that the News, which is now sup
posed to be Republican in politics,
can find nothing there of a cen
serious nature to harp upon. That
there is plenty of dope of a charac-
ter which does not reflect credit to
the present administration of affairs
at the state house is apparent to
anybody who desires to make investi
cation.
The most fragrant case of misap-
preparation of appropriations is with
the $4,000 voted the state auditor
by the last legislature. There was
big howl that probe should be
inserted in the land department and
Van Deusen, who had been waiting
for an opportunity to make good on
his campaign charges, was given the
power by the Democratic legislature
to spend $4,000 in a fishing ex
cursion. No word has ben heard
from him as to what he found and
very likely if he were asked for
his deductions he could take refuge
behind the statement that his re-
port is to be made to the next
legislature, which of course will be
after the next election. That Van
Deusen is not probing" to any
great extent is apparent, for it is
found that the money which the leg
islature voted for checking up the
land department is being used from
time to time to pay for work in
the secretary of satte's office, in the
state auditors office and in the gov
errors office. One of the assist
ant attorney generals is paid out of
this fund also.
Notwithstanding the governors
strenuous objections to revolving
funds" for the state institutions he
is in favor of them for himself and
thus has suspense account" in the
land department. Many thousands
of dollars are kept in the Overland
National bank, subject to the check
of the governor and register. This
money, if turned over to the state
treasurer as it should be, would be
bringing a considerable sum. AT
the present time the fund is $35 900
but it has been nearly twice that
Instead of turning the money in
after holding a state land sale, as il
should be, the money is held until
all the certificates are written up
which in some instances is from two
to six months.
The payroll for the maintenance OF
the capitol building during the last
Republican two-year term was $110(
per month. The payroll last month
was $13S166. The increase takes
care of the three per cent campaign
fund assessed against the capito
employees as well as the clerks in the
several departments.

is properly distributed. 1t is, "w'
