Vote FdVOrS
State Division
MEASURE FAVORED BY THE HOUSE
Committee Of The Whole Recommends Its Passage
By Vote Of al To OlS

Boise, Feb. i9.-The division
of Idaho and creation of a new
state out of the 10 northern
counties loomed before the legis-
lature as more of a reality to-
night than at any time since the
division fight was started. Just
before adjourning the evening
session the house of representa-
tives in committee of the whole
recommended that the division
resolution pass as recommended.
The amendpent strikes Adams
and Washington counties from
the proposed territory to form
the new state. On a test vote
taken after the committee arose
the report was adopted by vote
of Al to l8, the division advocates
winning a distinct victory. 1t
was the first record vote taken
since the introduction of the res
olution and was decisively in
favor of it.
The southwestern Idaho ad-
vocates fought the resolution
with nlibuster tactics, but the
north and the southeast voted
for it to a man. Speaker Alfred
asked to be and was excused from
voting. Minority Counselor
Johnston asked for the same
courtesy, and when it was de-
MED him voted for the resolu-
ton. The house adjourned
without forcing the resolution to
final passage, which was possible
on the showing made, as but a
bare majority was necessary.

FACTORY IMPROVEMENTS
NEARLY COMPLETED

The Modern Box Factory com
pany has nearly completed the re-
rairs to the plant on which it
has been busy for the past two
months. A new boiler has been
put in which will more than
double the power. A number of
new machines have also been in
stalled and it is expected that the
capacity of the plant has been
more than doubled.
The factory is nearly ready to
start now and the company is
only waiting for the ice in the
river to break up to get at their
logs. From present indications
it is expected the factory will
start operations about the first of
March. A number of large or
orders have been booked and an
exceedingly prosperous year is
looked for.

Maries, the indication of person
al fouls being poorly made.
The game at Wallace was one
OF the fastest and cleanest ever
played there. The St. Maries
team surprised the crowd with
its speed and organized playing
and won much applause. The
Wallace team is one Of the best
that st. Maries has met this year
and was in much better shape
than when it appeared here, when
two of its best players were miss
ing. The score at the end of the
first half was 12-il in favor of st.
Maries, Wallace having led part
of the time. In the second half
the local boys increased their
speed and dazzled the onlookers
with some fine teamwork and re-
markable basket shooting, Null
roney and Gallagher each making
several clean-cut shots from the
middle of the seventy-fOOt floor.
The score ended 1925, Mulroney
alone making p points for his
team.
Gregory and Martinsen did
splendid work at the guards in
all the games played and kept
down the scores of their oppOn-
ents. Ennis, at center, showed
good form throughout the trip
and played his best game of the
season at Wallace, as did the rest
Of the team. Besides those mem
toned, Underwood, Putnam and
Coach Hofstetter made the trip.
The trip, on the whole, was
very pleasant, excellent treatment
being received at all points. Out
side of the disagreement over
tn game at Kellogg, an enjoyable
time was had, the team being fa-
vored with a cordial reception at
the home of Supt. Laura Butz at
that place.

Although it is nearly two
months before the spring cleo
tions, the question of candidates
for the different city Offices is
beginning to be discussed and
names are being suggested.
The forming of the Women's
Civic League and the campaign
which the women are inaugural
ing for a cleaner city is entering
to a great extent in the discus
sion of prospective candidates
for mayor and cOuncilmen. The
question is being asked how such
and such a man will stand on the
question of seeing that the
streets and alleys and vacant dots
in the city are cleaned up and
kept clean and it looks now as
though this would be the princi-
pal issue of the campaign, al
though there is some talk in re-
gard to starting a campaign to
have the minimum water rate,
under the meter system, lowered
to sl.OO per month.
The names of several persons
have been suggested for mayor
and their availability discussed.
Among the number are Il. b. Hay,
If. A. Johnson and l.. Cormier,
the present councilman from the
second ward. So far, none of
these gentlemen are pronounced
candidates for the position, but
could probably be persuaded to
accept.
Only two names are being
prominently mentioned as yet as
probable candidates for the Of
flee of city clerk and ex-ohicio
police judge. They are the
present incumbent, Charles r
Schultz, and w. V. Caswell.
Paul Russell, present incum-
bent is the only person whose
name we have heard mentioned
for city treasurer up to the pres
ent time but if the council raise:
the salary, as it is understood is
being contemplated, there viii
? probably be others.
It is over the councilmen tina
there seems to be the most dis
, Icussion and so far there does no
seem to be an undnimity of opin
! ion as to who would best I'll tn
positions. Among the name
l that have been mentioned in tn
/ first ward are S. NJ. Babbitt, E.

TWO COUNTY PRISONERS
HAVE FINISHED TERMS

The number of inmates of the
county Jail has been reduced by
two. Walter Pinkerton, who
was serving a sentence of thirty
days for bootlegging, was dis
charged Monday, his term having
expired. John Smith, another
bootlegger, was discharged today
after serving a sentence of thirty
days.
Christine Gregory, the Indian
woman who was sentenced on the
same charge at the last term OF
court and who has been confined
in the Kootenai county jail at
.Coeur d'Alene, will probably have
a portion Of her sentence COM
mutled and will be discharged
within a few days.
There will still remain sever
prisoners in the jail here, al

ST. MARIES TEAM
WINS ON TRIP

The local high school basket
ball team returned home Sunday
night after a trip through the
Occur d'Alene district, where it
won three straight victories, de-
feating Rose Lake Y. M. C. A..
and Kellogg and Wallace high
schools. This was the second
time that S. M. II. S. Overcame
both Kellogg and Wallace this
season and the success or the
trip adds much to the honor of
the local team.
The game at Rose Lake on
Thursday was played against a
very heavy lineup the center
standing about Ga and weighing
over 200 lbs. Rose Lake led in
the first half of a rough and
tumble game, by a score of 9-8.
Unsatished with the officiating,
Coach Hofstetter took a hand,
refereeing the second half, and
st. Maries, by fast, clean playing
scored 10 points to her oppOn-
ents' two, making the final score
1914.
At Kellogg, on Friday, the To-
Gals ran up against a difficult
proposition, playing on a poor
floor in a small gymnasium, with
a crowd of spectators on the flool
most of the time. According tC
one scorer, the teams were tieC
at the end of the first half, anC
the other scorer, a Kellogg boy
had a lead of one point for Kel-
logg. Each team scored th'
same number of points in th'
second half and Kellogg tried Il
claim the victory. The rule
state that in case of a discrep
ancy in score the smaller scor
shall be accepted as correct, an
st. Maries insisted that the scor
was a tie and should be playe
Off. Kellogg refused to do this
which forfeited the game to 81
Maries. Kellogg's claim canno
be justified from any standpoint
and the victory was conceded {
st. Maries by fair-minded spec
tators. It should also be men
toned that ST. Maries led in tn
second half by Z points at on
time, and was five points ahea

Why did the mall man present let

There Is only one reason that can be
given and that is the merchants. in
order to avoid paying cents postage
on first-class matter on and after No
vember 1, thought 1t desirable to post
bills on October 25.
Soldiers and sweethearts are likely
to swamp the post-office with letters

day. as after that there will be an
additional cent for each letter, thus
making the cost of sending 100 letters
dollar more than was the case here
