game are still plentiful. Repre-
sentative Lewis is on the house
fish and game committee and he
is giving legislation along this
line his close attention.
There has for some time been
much dissatisfaction with fish
and game laws and the commit
tees therefore will have much i'm
DOrtant work, as numerous mea-
sures will be submitted. The
senate fish and game committee
has already held meetings and is
we'll organized to give attention
/ to all measures. The individ-
ual members have been studying
the needs of different parts of
the state and especially the needs
J Of the north Idaho counties. so
that no half digested measures
will come from the committees
to be acted upon by the house and
the senate.
Laws for the protection and the
perpetuation of the game and fish
supply of the state have been ad-
IVOcated by sportsmen i'm every
section of the state and with in

and game committees are of more
than ordinary importance.

WHILE coAsTINo

Miss Hazel KennisOn, a young
lady about 16 years of age, was
painfully injured while cOasting
Friday. She and a party of
young people were cOasting on
Tenth street, using a long bob

were broken and her injuries, al
though painful, are not consid-
cred serious. She is still con-
fined to her bed but it is hoped
she will be fully recovered within
la few days.

NEIL & BAILEY TO
ENLARGE BUSINESS

II is rumored that Neil & Bailey
will, in the near future, discon-
tinue their pool and card tables
and enter the general mercantile
business, putting in a full line of
groceries, dry goods and ladies'
and gents furnishings.
The firm is one that has made
good in this city. Mr.. Neil, the
senior member Of the firm, came
here in the spring of 1910, just
before the opening of the reser-
vation, and with a keen eye to the
futuse, started in business where
the firm Of Neil & Bailey is now
located. This business he con-
Quoted alone for four years, when
Mr.. Bailey entered the firm as a
partner.
Mr.. Neil is recognized as one of
/ the ablest and most conservative
/ business men in the city. Dur
ing his seven years of business
dealings here he has made a large
number of strong friends and
customers who will stay with him
in any business venture he may
undertake.
Mr. Bailey, the Junior member,
has been connected with the firm
fSs three years, coming here
Rom Michigan. He also has
Ynade a host of friends and their

Although we are unable to

is that they will continue their

the new business.

ELECTRIC SERVICE ON
milwaukee ROAD

"Finishing touches on the last
.25-mile stretch of the 44O miles
of electrified territory of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
way between Harlowton, Mont,
and Avery, Idaho, are rapidly
nearing completion, says an an
'nOuncement made by the com
.pany. 1T is expected that the
entire mountain division will be
electrically operated before the
end of the month or early in Feb
ruary.
Early in December the line
from Harlowton to East Portal,
approximately 400 miles was in
operation with passenger and
freight service in general use in
that territory"
Gangs of workmen have been
concreting the one and one-half
mile long st. Paul Pass tunnel
through the Bitter DOT mountains
for some time. When that work
is completed only a short time
elapse before the current is
turned on in the last unit.
Engineers say that one Of the
most remarkable features of the
installation is the electric brak-
ing control to hold back trains on
long descending grades and to
return power to the line.
President Earling is quoted as
saying, "WOrk is being pushed
with all possible speed. Every
test has demonstrated the SUI
periority of the electric motor
over the steam engine"
A crew under the supervision
of H. E. Crannaford has begun
the work of installing new elelc-
tric-autOmatic block signals on
this division of the Milwaukee
railroad. Three other crews are
to be engaged on this work be-
tween Alberton and Deer Lodge
The new system does away with
the familiar semaphore, using in
stead cOlOred lights operated au-
ltOmatically by electricity, current
for which comes from the motor
equipment now in use. The job
it is expected, will be completed
by September Of this year

Commissioners Will
Condemn Road
CANNOT SETTLE FOR RIGHT OF WAY
Approve Bond Of Justice Of Peace and Dispose of
Widows Exemption Claims.

The board of county commits
sioners did not complete their
work last Friday and adjourned
until Monday morning. Com
missioer Wells was unable to be
present at the Monday session
and very little important work
was taken up.
C. H. Salton of Benewah ap-
peared before the board and quail
flied as justice of the peace of
that precinct. The bond of R.
Stout as justice of the peace of
Tensed precinct was approved.
The matter Of securing the
right of way for a portion of the
Treffry- Benewah road which has
been hanging fire for a long time,
was taken. up. Right of way had
been easily secured from most of
the ranchers through whose
property the road passed and
considerable work was done last
fall on that portion Of the road.
No agreement, however, could
be reached with two of the prop
erty owners, J. E. Zehner and
James Paulis, and the only way in
which the right of way could be
secured was by condemnation
proceedings. The commissioners
passed the necessary resolution
to have the right of way con-
demned and directed the prose
cutting attorney to commence the
action.
A number of applications for
a refund of taxes for widows ex-
emptiOns were taken up and
passed upon by the board. In
most of the cases it was found
that the applications we're just
and the parties were entitled tC
the exemptions and the refunds
we're granted.
The board adjourned unit
January 27th, at which time it is
planned to take up the question
of providing work for the county
prisoners.

Special to The Record


Boise, Jan. 15.-State high
way plans now under considera-
tiOn provide that the north and
south highway shall not cross in
to Washington at Moscow to con-
meet with the road to Spokane.
Instead the proposed route will
run nOrtheasterly to Elk River
and from there to the st. Maries
river. 1t will follow down this
river, affording a direct outlet
for all of Benewah county. After
leaving Benewah county the pro-
posed route cuts into Kootenai
county and connects with the
east and west road near Rose
Lake.
The delegations from Benewah,
ShoshOne and Kootenai counties
have been working together to
have the survey made so that the
north and south highway Will be
entirely within the state of Idaho
and will supply the connection so
badly needed to unite the two
section. In the senate the in
terests of north Idaho will be
we'll protected by Senators Kin
solving of Benewah, Stevenson Of
lShOshOne and Nelson of KoOtenai,
il the first week of the session
may be taken as criterion. The
north Idaho senators have been
wide awake to the best interests
of their part of the state and
they have not overlooked any
Thing in bringing the claims and
merits of their respective cOun-
ties TO the attention of their col
leagues.
Representative Lewis of Bene-
wah is working with the Shoshone
and KOotenai delegations in the
house and the united efforts Oi
the north Idaho delegations are
already being felt. It is real
lied that little can be done on the
north and south highway durine
1917, but the appropriation fol
the permanent survey and for eX-
tensive work during 1913 can b'
made. The selection of th'
route is the first important mat
ter TO be considered and the dele.

Personal Injuries
Suit Is Filed
MILWAUKEE RAILROAD IS DEFENDANT
Chamberlain Wants Damages For Falling Off
Depot Platform at derrick.

A suit for personal injuries has
been started in the district court
for this county by Bartholomew
Chamberlain against the Chicago,
Milwaukee,& st. Paul Railway co.
The complaint in the action was
filed Friday by Norris & Yates of
this city, Corkey q Corkey of
Spokane being associated with
them. The injuries out Of
which the action grew were re-
ceived at Herrick on the evening
.of November 18th last.
According to the complaint
Chamberlain was intending to
take the train that evening. The
company had formerly had a sta
.tion house there with a platform
between it and the main track
The building had been moved
away but the platform still re-
mained. 1t had been built up
even with the tracks which were
ten or twelve feet above the sur
rounding ground.
Although the depot building
had been removed it is alleged
that the place was still being
used as a station for passengers
to get on or off the trains. 1t
is alleged that the company had
negligently failed to provide rails
along the platform or to provide
for lighting it and that the plain
tiff accidentally stepped off the
edge of the platform. He struck
on a log about ten feet below,
breaking three of his ribs loose
from the breast bone and also
from the backbone and dislocated
his right shoulder.
In falling his head struck on
the log and a large cash was cut
over his eye and he was knocked
unconscious. He lay where he
had fallen for over an hour before
he was discovered and taken to
a house to be cared for and il
was several hours before he re-
gained consciousness. He al
leges that the injury to his ribs.
together with the exposure, af-
fected one of his lungs which is
permanently injured.
The complaint further states
that he was taken to a hospital
where he was obliged to pay sew
enty dollars for medical treat
ment and forty-flve dollars foI
hospital fee. He asks Judgment
for this amount, Sff5, and also
for Si5, 200 damages for his in
juries, or for sl5,tf5 in all. to-
gether with the costs of the ac-
ton.

WOULD MAKE CHANGE
IN COUNTY LINES

Occur d'Alene, Idaho, jan 15.-
A movement was started today by
the chamber of commerce where
by the counties of KOOtenai,
Benewah and Shoshone can OBJ
tain land outside of their bOun-
daries, which each has been striv-
ing for. Kootenai county has
within its boundary the greater
part of the Fourth of July canyon
road, wanted by ShOshone coun-
ty. Shoshone has territory
around Avery that is desired by
Benewah citizens, and Benewah
county would give Kootenai coun-
ty certain lands in the Worley
district.
This triangular exchange has
been urged by the good roads
committee, with J. V. Hawkins al
its head. Advances have beer
made by Shoshone citizens to Sc
cure the Canyon road, for The
reason that that county is f.
nancially able to put the road il
first-class condition and pay fo'
its upkeep and maintenance.
Wallace residents want tn
Canyon road added TO Shoshon
so an outlet can be obtained q
