The lumbermen coupled their
case with the farmer and fruit
raiser, claiming that the cooper
alton of all the industries is ne
|cessary, as unless the mills Oper-
ate the farmers and fruit-raisers
are tied up. Each speaker for
the lumbermen detailed the situ-
alton at his property and stated
that the logging camps We're
closed and the mills could not
operate longer in that condition.

stated presented the side of the
farmers. Among those who spoke

After the lumbermen had pre-
scented their side of the case the
board called on Jack Lambert,

hour, fully setting forth the I. w

tions in this section, to appear
before the board but the latter
sent word that he was too busy
TO come.

Benewdh County
Ready For Draft.
S54 CARDS HAVE BEEN REMEMBERED
List Now In Hands Of Adjuianl GeHeTaI--RegiS-
trantS Must Apply For Numbers.

Advices have been received here
to the effect that the following
method will be used for the Sc
lection of those drawn from Be
newah county for service in the
army under the selective con-
scription. Each of the young
men registered will be assigned
a number stamped upon a little
celluloid capsule and sealed in a
big glass bowl at Washington.
With every number under 854
drawn at Washington one man
from Benewah county will be
automatically drafted for service.
Throughout the entire country
the drawing of one number will
secure approximately 10000 men
and 80 numbers will give 100000
recruits from which to select the
new army.
The number of capsules in the
bowl will correspond with the to-
tai registration in the largest
district in the country so it would
seem that those registered in the
smaller districts would stand less
chance of being drawn. 1t is OBJ
vious that if high numbers are
drawn those registered in dis
tricts where there are but few
numbers will not he chosen.
Benewah county has S54 re-
gistered and it would seem that
if numbers above that total are
drawn this county would not be
called upon to furnish any men,
although each county is supposed
to furnish it's quota. Some plan
may have been worked out to
ePlalize the chance of being
called among the larger and
smaller districts but if not il
seems that the smaller districts
are favored.
The local board, composed of
County Auditor Warren Il. Shep-
lperd, Sheriff E. b. holland and
County Physician c.. j. Kinsolving
has finished the work of renum-
Ibering the registration cards and
a copy Of the list has been sent
to Adjutant General Moody al

Defendants Awarded
$4,000 Damages
IN ZGHVER-PAULLUS CONDEMNATION
county Officials Consider Judgment Excessive and
Will Probably Appeal

A hearing was held Friday at
Benewah in the condemnation
brought by the county to con-
demn a right of way for a high
way across the land of Joseph f.
Zehner and James Paullus on the
st. Maries-Tekoa road near Bene-
wah. The appraisers appointed
by the court to appraise the land
we're William Trueman, Harry
Miller and F. A. Gaskill and they
made the trip to view the land
and hear the arguments of the
opposing sides Friday.
After hearing the arguments Of
opposing counsel the appraisers
adjourned to this city, where they
met Saturday and rendered a de-
cision giving Zehner damages to
the extent Of $4,000 for his
property and paullus damages
amounting to $1,000 for his land.
The condemnation commission
ers held the value of the land be-
longing to Zehner and desired by
the county for the road to be
$4,000 and they allowed him
$4,000 damages for the sever
cnce of one portion of his prop
crty from the other by the road,
making $4,000 in all. They also
held that the land would not be
benefited by the road and rem
dcred him a verdict awarding him
E'he ffull amount.
IL the case of Paullus the COM
missioners held that the value OF
the land to be used for the road
was 10000 and the damage
caused by the severance and the
building of fences amounted to
$4,000. They also found, how
ever, that the land would be bene-
fitted to the extent of 10000 by
the road and gave a judgment in
favor of the defendant for $1,000.
The county officials feel that
the award in the Zehner case was
excessive and will probably ap-
peal from the decision Of the
commissioners
The county was represented in
the case by Prosecuting Attorney
Allen A. Holsclaw and Attorney
William D. Keeton appeared for
Zehner and Paullus.

JURY GIVES JUDGMENT
FOR WAGES DUE

The case Of Emmett Addy
against Geo. F. Wetzel and Chas.
Wetzel, a co-partnership doing
business under the name of Wet
eel Bros, was tried in the Pro-
bate Court before Judge Crom-
we'll and a jury Monday. The
case was a suit for wages alleged
to be due Addy for work done
for the defendants and the jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for Sf9i35.
Addy claimed that he worked
for the defendants OF two diff
ferent occasions, working eight
days the first time and about two
and a half months the second
time. Wetzel Bros. claimed that
Addy was not employed for wages
but was a partner in an enter
prize for threshing peas and the
work which he did was in pre-
paration for this. The enterprise
fell through and Addy brought
suit for wages for the work which

Tax Decision
Is Reaffirmpd
WILL OISORGANIZE PLUMMER HICHWA
Judge Dietrich Holds FOR Railway Company On
Rehearing OF Case.

Attorney Ed S. Elder received
word from Judge DIETRICH the
latter part of last week giving his
decision in the rehearing Of the
tax case against the Milwaukee
Railway. which decision largely
favors the railway company. The
effect of the decision is that the
plummer Highway District ceases
to exist as an Independent high
way district.
The judge held that as the
Plummer Highway District is To-
Gated partly in Benewah county
and partly in Kootenai county
the special tax levied by the COM
missioners is illegal as money
raised in one county cannot be
expended in another. The or
ganization of the district is there
fore null and void and as dis
trict it will cease to exist.
The only powers left the COM
missiOners of the highway dis
trict is that of levying a special
tax to take care of the bonded
indebtedness of the district which
brings their usefulness to an end,
as without the revenue derived
from the special highway district
levy no work can be done, either
i'm maintenance or construction
of roads.
The decision holds with the
county's attorneys on several
points, chief Of which the railway
company and not the county will
be compelled to pay the federal
court costs connected with the
action, which amount to about
Si8OO.OO.
The Milwaukee Railway tax
case was first argued on February
IS and Immediately upon its first
appearance in court Judge Deit-
rich ordered that the original
amount of the railway cOmpany's 3
taxes, less the contested special
taxes, be paid into court for use
by the county, this in no way to
affect the final status of the case
On March i2 Attorney Elder re-
ceived word from Judge DIETRICH
announcing his decision, which
was largely in the favor of the
railroad company. The county
then petitioned for a rehearing il
the case which was granted will
the above result.
The final decision means tha
Penewah county-that is th'
Plummer Highway District anC
three special school districts
lose about 100000 in specia
taxes in addition to the penalt.
and interest which have accrued
on the delinquent tax certificates
The county was represented il
the action by Attorney Ed S. Eide
Of this city, George J. McFaddeI
of Plummer, attorney for thI
highway district, and Attorney C
II. Potts of Occur d'Alene.
