man a pardon.
The new board of pardons
takes the attitude that Coleman
has not told all he knows about
the treasury steal and that if he
has any hopes of leniency being
shown to him he will have to
make clean breast Of the affair.
The board wants to know what
became of the S22, 900 he stole as
we'll as the $1,000 that Allen
took. Judge J. l.. McClear ap-
peared as Coleman's counsel and
this afternoon renewed his ap-
plication for leniency. The
board took it under advisement
with the significant statement lit
would be pleased to hear from
Coleman as to the details in the
looting of the treasury.

Mr.. Houck has been commits

Commissioners Grindle and Mil
Ter were appointed in their stead.
The reelection of the three COM
missioners to succeed themselves
shows that their administration
of the affairs of the district has
been satisfactory to the residents.

Lumber Company
Made Defendant
IN PERSONAL INJURY DAMAGE SUIT
Jesse BOOhen Asks For $25,OOO.OO Damages For
Being Struck By Logs

The complaint in a twenty-five
thousand dollar damage case for
persoal injuries was filed in the
district court of this counLy
Tuesday. Jessie Boohen is
plaintiff and O. C. Hopkins and
the st. Maries Lumber company
of this city are the defendants.
The damages are asked for in
juries received by the plaintiff
while at work sending logs down
a chute in Deep Gulch into Hell's
.Gulch. The complaint alleges
that the st. Maries Lumber Co.
and Hopkins we're the owners Of
the chute and the logs and that
Hopkins was general superin-
tendent for himself and the COM
.pany and had charge of the chute
and a donkey engine by which the
logs were placed in the chute and
also had charge of all the opera
tions in connection with the
same.
According to the complaint the
donkey engine was stationed
about a quarter of a mile from
the top Of the chute which passed
over a level space just below the
engine over which it was neces-
sary to draw the logs with a team
to start them down the chute. A
snubbing post was set and ar
ranged so when the logs started
down the chute the chain by
which they we're being hauled
would strike the post which would
detach it from the logs permit
ting them to go on down the
chute, although occasionally logs
were dumped on the chute and
sent down without being started
by team.
Near the bottom of the chute
was another level space at
which another man was at work
putting the logs into the water
above a dam in Helrs Gulch. The
bottom Of the chute could not be
seen from the top and a wire was
run along the chute to a bell at
the upper end by which the man
at the bottom could signal when
the chute was clear. The COM
plant alleges that if the bell did
not ring within IS minutes after
the logs were sent down it be-
came the duty of the plaintiff,
who was driving the team at the
top, to go down the chute and
assist the man at the bottom and

DELINQUENT TAXES
WILL BE LIGHT

County Treasurer Davis re-
ports that the tax collections
have been very much better this
year than last and that there is
comparatively little property de-
linquent this year. He has not
had time to total the delinquent
property but estimates that six
or eight thousand dollars will
cover it.
The total amount of taxes to
be collected was about 1912, 900.
His total collections are between
SIO8,OOO and $4,000, leaving a
balance of a little over $4,000
unpaid. He states that fully rs
per cent took advantage of the
law which permits one half of
the taxes to be paid before the
first Monday in January and the
balance before the first Monday
in July and, judging from that,
the amount of delinquent taxes
cannot be large.
At this time last year Mr.. Davis
had collected $4,000 in compari-
son with about $4,000 this year.

Will Revive
Poultry Association
TO HOLD POULTRY SHOW S
POuItrymen Enthusiastic Over New Association
Many New Members join

Plans have been under cOnsid-
Grafton for some time to revive
and reorganize the st. Maries
Poultry Association, which has
been practically defunct for
some time. The movement to
revive the old assication or to
form a new one finally eliminated
III a meeting of those interested
in poultry raising last week. The
meeting was we'll attended and
very enthusiastic. Not only
we're the principal members of
the old organization present but
a number of new prospective ex-
hibitors were in attendance.
1t was decided to reorganize,
changing the name from the st.
Maries Poultry Association to the
Benewah County Poultry Asso-
citation and officers were elected
as follows: J. T. Watkins, presi-
dent; John Chambers, vice presi-
dent; Joseph Heritage, secretary
and treasurer. A membership
fee Of St.OO will be charged and
q campaign for new members in
augurated.
It was decided to hold a poul-
try show sometime about the
first of February, the exact date
to be decided on later. That
this show will be a success al
ready seems certain as at least
twety pens of good birds are al
ready assured in addition to a
great many single entries and
entries of pet stock.
In addition to a large number
e new premiums, several cups
which have been won once or
twice at former shows will be Of
fered at the coming show.
The newly elected officers, as
veil as the members, are taking
hold enthusiastically with the
determination to make the show
a success and there is no doubt
Tut what they will succeed. An
ether meeting will be held Fri
Cay evening at A. A. Darknells
Office on First street and all
persons interested in poultry
raising are urged to be present.

10 Investigate
Water Users
COUNCILMEN BELIEVE SOME ESCApI
Direct Water Commissioner To Compare Clerks
List With Taps In Use

For the first time in several
months every mmber of the
council was present at the meet
ing held last evening. This was
regular meeting of the coun-
Gil, having been postponed from
Monday, which was a legal holi-
day.
City Clerk Schultz was not
present not having returned from
the east and City Treasurer Paul
Russell filled his place. Owing
to the absence of the clerk and
desire on the part Of the members
to get through as quickly as
possible, very little business
other than the allowing of bills
was transacted, and a number of
the bills were laid over for the
reason that they we're not veri-
fled. Outside of the regular
monthly salary bills and the bill
for street lighting, less than
hundred dollars worth of bills
were allowed. The total amount
including these two items, was
only $777.O6 and S488.OO Of this
amount went for salaries.
The water collections for the
month were reported at SiOO9.i2.
Inquiry developed the fact that
this amount included collections
for water meters as we'll as for
water and precipitated quite a
discussion, the council having
previously requested that these
amounts be kept separate and so
reported.
During the discussion it was
intimated that some of the water
users are escaping without pay
ing their just proportion and
Councilman Cormier stated that
he had been trying for two years
to have the clerk prepare a list of
water users so it could be checked
up. A motion was passed in
structing the city treasurer and
acting clerk to prepare a list of
all water users and the amounts
being paid by each and for the
water commissioners to take this
list and check it with the actual
amount of water being used.
Water Commissioner Jerry Nc
Carter's report of the expense Of
repairing the Thorn creek dam
was read and showed the cost for
labor on the dam to have been
Si73.75. In addition to this
there were a few small bills for
material.
I The finance committee was
instructed to examine the report
submitted by Accountant Rich
ards on the auditing of the treas
uruer's books and TO submit his
report together with the commit
tee report on the same to the
council at its next meeting.

that not logs were to be sent
down the chute until he returned
to the engine.
On the day Of the accident
Hopkins was away and intrusted
the care of the engine and the
chute to another man and in
structed the plaintiff to continue
his work with the team as usual.
The chain by which the team was
hitched to the logs, on striking
the snubbing post, became loose
from the team instead of the log
ad was carried down the chute
and the plaintiff went down after
it.
1t is alleged that while ne was
coming up the chute the man at
the engine, without waiting for
the plaintiff to reappear or for
the signal that the chute was
clear, started the engine and sent
some logs down the chute which
struck the plaintiff, knocking him
from the chute, breaking his left
leg and severely injuring his
head and shoulder.
He alleges that he was con-
fined in a hospital for 80 days
with his injuries and that he was
permanently injured and has
been liable to do any work for
the past eight months and the
complaint concludes with a de-
mand for 100000 damages for
these injuries. Mcfarland &
Mcfarland of Coeur d'Alene are
attorneys for the plaintiff.

A FOOLISH NOTION.

In a Texas town, the mayor is endeaVorng to create following strong enough to convince the state legislature to pass a law combining both the city and county governments and thereoy eliminate one set of officers. Economy IS sad to be the motive.
 Of all the nut mayors of the country, thls man leads the procession. Surely he cannot be courting popularity While the people know that two sets of officials is waste of money and all that vet the truth is the American system seems to be based on demand that provision shall be made for every man to hold an office who wants one. Our lawmakers have always tried to multiply offices and have succeeded to degree unknown in any other country. The amount ot money paid to government officials in the United States is staggering, and it keeps on increasing year by year until the Democrats have reached a point where they are worrying over their inabl- itv to find more offices and may appoint a com mission to investigate all the Investigators and incidentally find more offices that they may ap- point more officers The idea of economy in city, county or any part or parts of our system ot government is absurd.
 Here in Alaska we should apply to our legisla- ture to create an office and appoint an officer at every town village or camp who shall have con trol of measles chicken poX and everything like that and anotherto watch over that official and so on. and thereby give every man a chance to hold an office Economy-piffle. Who wants economy?
