to accept any reliability on the
part of the city.
The discussion did not have any
definite result. The commission
ers did not say definitely that
they would not maintain that
portion of the bridge but they
did say that they would not main
tain it unless legally bound to do
so. They decided to leave the
matter open for the present and
if it was found the county was not
legally liable the county would
not maintain it.
With attorneys differing it
looks now as though the county
or the city, and perhaps both of
them, were in for a lawsuit over
the matter.

MRS. SANDERS MOTHER
DIES AT HOLLYWOOD

Word has been received here
that Mrs. Galloway, mother of
Mrs. Claget Sanders, formerly of
this city, died Friday night at
Highwood. Mont. Arrangements
for the funeral services are await
ing the arrival of relatives from
The east, but interment will be at
Corvallis, Mont, where a number
of Mrs. Galloway's relatives are
buried.
Mrs. Galloway had not been in
good health for the past three
year, having suffered a paralytic
stroke at that time from which
she never fully recovered, and
her death was due to this and
from complications resulting
from advanced age. She moved
with her daughter from this city
to Highwood about two months
ago.

Who shall keep the west end
Of the bridge, or rather the west
end of the approach to the bridge
across the st. Maries river in re-
pair has become a burning ques-
ton again. That portion is in
the city of st. Maries and about
a year ago the county decided
that it belonged to the city and
not the county to keep it in re-
pair.
The bridge is again badly in
need of repairs. Both the city
and the county refuse to make any
repairs on it and whichever is
responsible for its maintenance
is liable to face a suit for damages
at any time. A meeting of the
county commissioners and the
mayor and street and alley COM
mittee of the city was held Mon
day afternoon to discuss the mat
ter. Both the city attorney and
prosecuting attorney were present
and read law. They both read
the same cases and the same pro-
visions of the statute but the law
which they gathered from it was
Numerically opposed.
The prosecuting attorney gave
the commissioners the opinion
that the county was not legally
bound to maintain the bridge
while the city attorney was equal
lily emphatic in stating that it
belonged to the county and not the
city to keep up the bridge. Both
were willing TO admit that either
could maintain the bridge with
out exceeding its authority.
The city attorney argued that
because the county had maintain
ed the bridge for the past dozen
years that it was bound to con-
tinue TO do so, while the county
attorney argued that as the law
gave the city council exclusive
control of all streets, alleys and
highways within the city Limits
it was bound to maintain thai
lportion of the bridge
The commissioner suggested
that a friendly suit be started
between the city and county q
determine the liability but Mayoi
Hunt refused. He maintaine,

JURY DIVIDES COSTS
BETWEEN LITIcANTS

A civil case was tried i'm the
Probate court Friday before Judge
Cromwell and jury that created
some interest. 1t was the case
Of c.. Kirkpatrick of Oregon
against Joe Prune of Fernwood,
section boss on the railroad at
that point. Kirkpatrick sued to
recover ON a promissory note of
Sl8.35 given by Prune, together
with $500 attorneys fees pro-
Vided for i'm the note and also to
recover $4,000 on accounts that
had been assigned to Kirkpatrick
prune admitted that he owed
$1,000 on the note but denied
any liability for the accounts, and
it, was this question that was the
| principal matter i'm the contro-
versy. Mr.. prune had formerly
been section boss at a place in
Oregon and the accounts in ques-
ton had been run by men in his
employ and it was sought to show
that he had gone good for them.
After hearing the evidence in
the case the jury brought in a
verdict giving the plaintiff judg-
ment for $4,000 and interest on
the note and for the $500 at
torney's fees provided for in the
note, but found that he was not
liable for the accounts. They also
provided that the cost, which
amounted to s5O.4O, should be
divided Jointly between the two
parties TO the suit. Taylor & Hull
appeared as attorneys for the
plaintif while the defendant was
represented by Allen A. Holsclaw

SECOND HALF TAXES
ARE NOW DUE

This is the last week in which
TO pay the second half Of the
1916 taxes. Under the law the
second half must be paid before
the first Monday in July, which
is next Monday. A large number
of the taxpayers of the county
took advantage of the provisions
of the law which permits the pay
ing of one half of the taxes before
The first Monday i'm January and
the balance before the first Mon
day i'm July, and there is a large
amount of taxes outstanding.
Miss Wilson. county treasurer,
informs us that these second half
taxes are coming in very slowly.
A large proportion of these taxes
are owed by big taxpayers, the
lumbermen, sawmill owners and
railroads, and these will without
doubt come in about the last day
but there are large number of
the smaller taxpayers yet to pay.
The making out of the receipts
for these entails a large amount
of work on the treasurer and she
is anxious to have them come in
al once so she can be at work on
them.
Taxpayers should bear in mind
that provision of the law which
makes the entire tax delinquent
and subject to the interest and
penalty if the second half is not
raid before the first Monday in
July. In other words, if you fail
to pay the second Nalf before that
date your property is liable to
the same interest and penalty as
if you had failed to pay the first
half.

Many impractical suggestions are just now
being made by excited patriots as to the proper
way to meet the food emergency. Farm work
is of extraordinary importance at this time. but it
must be carried on systematically. Stress OF cir
cumstances has aroused people to better idea
of how much of our national life depends on ag-
riculture The almost automatic regularity Of
crop production has produced sense of security
as to food supply and diverted attention to other
and less absolutely necessary industries, but in
terest is now suddenly turned back to the farms
of the country 1t should be understood right at
the beginning that the farmer needs assistance
more than he does advice.
Plenty of land is available if all can be put
under effective cultivation it will hardly be nee
essary to pillow up lawns or dedicate parks to corn
fields il the ground normally in use by the farmers
can be planted and cared for during the growing
season. Seed is needed and farm hands and also
money to finance the farm operators until an
other harvest time comes around. Supply these
and the farmer will attend to the rest.
The conference at St. Louis is working out
the details for practical coordination of the coun-
try's farm resources. Plans there adopted will
be the result of consultation between experts who
are thoroughly acquainted with the agriculture of
the United States in all its phases and whose
judgments are supported by long experience.
Their suggestions will be listened to by the farm
ers, who may be depended upon to do their full
share without undue urging.
With seed to plant, men to do the work, up
to-date machinery for them to use and ordinarily
favorable weather at the right time, the crop
problem will be solved.

Roosevelt and the Foreign Service.

Should American soldiers be sent to Europe
proprety as well as sentiment suggests acceptance
Of Colonel Roosevelt's application to 60 with the
expedition. He is representative American citi-
zen, is we'll known on the other side of the water
and is thoroughly enthused and ideally fitted to
meet requirements. Moreover, he is a tested
soldier one Of our most consistent advocates Of
preparedness, for he has steadfastly urged that
the United States make ready for the emergency
that finally brought us into the war; and has assid
uously practiced what he preached. An ideal
leader Of men, capable Of infusing his own enthu-
siasm into others, he would we'll represent the
nation on the battle line in Europe. II the po-
litical aspect Of the matter is to have consdera-
ton, ample precedent exists in the treatment &C.
corded Colonel Bryan by President Mckinley in
1898. Roosevelt and his division will be popu-
lar move and II we are to have men in the fighting
the colonel" should have his chance.

Opposition to Universal Service.

President Wilson is discovering that the wave
Of patriotism stirred in congress by the declara-
ton OF war has not removed the opposition to
universal military training or service with the
colors. Speaker Clark has already notified the
president that the bill for the new army will not
meet the approval of all the democrats. This may
easily be understood, for many Of the democrats
in congress are bourbons Of the old school, Sem
timentay the volunteer system is appealing, but
experience proves it does not work out in prac-
tice. Already from the cities OF the country comes
news Of many marriages hastily contracted in
anticipation Of the passage Of CONSUMPTION law
that exempts married men. On the other hand
many men with dependent wives and families are
offering their services and many have been ac-
cepted as volunteers. The universal service plan
will not affect the volunteer soldier; he will serve
whenever and wherever his country needs him,
It Is the Stacker who will feel it, the fellow who
prefers to let another bear the burden while he
reaps the benefit. And universal service is the
only known way by which the shirker Of public
duty can be brought to contribute his ratable
share to the general duty. The obligation to serve
the republic is universal and the republic has the
full right to demand that that obligation be fairly
met by all its citizens. The presidents plans will
meet obstruction, but they will go through, or
the ringing resolution which authorized him to
employ all the resources Of the United States in
defending our rights becomes hollow and empty,

Signs Of Patriotism Plenty.

Let US turn from the spectacle Of those who
are trying to evade duty and for moment look
at some who conscientiously are striving to as
sst in every way they can to aid the government
in its need. From Chicago comes word that the
butter and egg spectators have voluntarily agreed
that from now on till further notice no specula-
tive dealings in these articles Of food will be
countenanced. Dealers may contract for deliv-
cry in advance, but speculative prices will not be
quoted nor any deals in futures" recognized
One great railroad system stands pledged to help
in any way and especially promises to assist in
mobilizing the farms. Great industrial concerns,
commercial houses and financial institutions are
placing all their facilities at the disposal Of the
government. This carries expert knowledge Of
the varying phases OF preparation and will give
the government the benefit Of knowledge gained
by experiment. Selhshness does not entirely rule
in this, either. for while the men who manage
these great establishments realize that the fu-
ture depends on present action they also have
a sense Of obligation that is stronger than pri-
vate profit, The individual we'll may feel in
spired by the examples daily afforded and in the
great movement to real preparation the adverse
influence of the wholly selfish "sackers" in any
walk Of life will soon be entirely lost.

active duty in the field will find ample ways to serve
and by doing so with cheerful zeal will contribute
greatly to the success Of those who have gone to

must move with proper speed and precision and
on some Of them unusual demands will be made,
in order that the military operations can be sue

There are crazy quilts where the

they attract a moments attention and
are forgotten.
But the world progresses and many
of us are now unwilling to think out
for ourselves and sew in with our own
hands all the little patches that go to
make our life quilt. 1t is too much
trouble nowadays to have original
ideas or to fashion our own lives. SO
we allow them to be machine made for
us. We let our lives be modelled and
turned out from the great factory
called convention. Here our life ac-
tons are not sewed in at all. We are
merely stamped in various conven-
