ROCK CRUSHER
PURCHASE @. K.
DISTRICT JUDGE FLYNN HOLDS
COMMISSIONERS ACTS ARE
LEGAL.
FEDERAL MONEY
Legislature of 1911 Provided For
Joint Purchases.

Judge Flynn on Friday made
known his decision in the rock crush
er case, holding that the county COM
missiOners were acting within their
powers in purchasing a half interest
in the rock crusher, the village of
Bonners Ferry purchasing the other
half interest. He says the question
presented by the appeal is a novel
one, but considers that the authority
granted the boards of county com
missioners under the laws of 1911
to join with any political subdivi-
siong of the state in the construction
of highways permits of the pur-
chase, jointly with the village, by
the commissioners of equipment for
such construction. He holds that
the contract does not violate the con-
stitutional provision against mourning
indebtedness in excess of the revenue
provided for the current year for the
reason that the commissioners were
justified in anticipating the pay
ment by the federal government to
the county of its proportion of the
sum realized from the sale of tim
Der on the forest reserve, which pay
ment was made in the sum of $7S24.-
so to Boundary county on October 4,
1916, and that the contract does not

constitution against counties loaning
their credit to, or becoming respon-
sible for, the debts or liabilities of
third parties for the reason that this
clause of the constitution refers only
to transactions involving public and
private funds in undertakings which
are not of a governmental nature.
The action to prevent the county
of Boundary from carrying out a
contract into which it had entered
for the joint purchase of a rock
crusher was started by a group of
taxpayers. Before the case was taken
into court County Attorney Wilson
advised the county commissioners
that the contract JAder which the
rock crusher was purchased was
valid. Attorney E. M. Flood repre-
sented the taxpayers and Attorney
E. w. Wheelan, of Standpoint, repre-
scented the Good Roads Machinery
Company, from which the rock crush
err was purchaSed

May Guard Tunnels

Last Tuesday Station Agent Ashby
received requests from st. Paul of
fees of the Great Northern railway
company to find out what accomoda-
tons in the way of lodging and board
could be secured for a crew of 16
men at Moravia and 80 men at
Katka.
In railroad circles this request is
said to mean that in case the United
States declares war against Germany
all railway companies will take every
precaution to guard tunnels and brid-
ges through fear that attempts will
be made to block traffic by the de-
stroying of parts of the line. There
are two tunnels near Moravia and
three in the Katka district.

COMRING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing, most IL not all, of your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all
itching and digging of the scalp
will stop at once, and your hair
will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and never fails to do the work.
