who are holding a special session
at Occur 4 d'Alene this week to de-
eide on ways and means of best
handling the /. w. w. menace IN
North Idaho. On this information
will depend the further proceed
ing Of the proposed local organ
ization.
That there is a real menace 10
deal with is emphasized by the
fact that Governor Alexander,
who has recently returned from
Washington, has practically re-
moved the seat Of state govern
ment to Coeur d'Alene, where he
states il will be maintained until
some settlement is made of the
trouble. And to better ascertain
the extent t0sshich he should go
in preparing to handle the agita-
tors. the governor has called
meeting of all sheriffs of the dis
trict north of the Salmon river to
he held at Coeur d'Alenc on the
afternoon Of Saturday, July IA.
From these a report of conditions
in their respective counties viii
be had, and it is probable such re-
ports viii result in the bringing Of
such numbers Of regular soldiers
into the state as are necessary to
thoroughly police Il and preserve
order It is understood these
troops are available il the need is
sufficiently urgent.
II is deemed best by those con-
versant with the situation IN Lew
is county, that the several conf
munities proceed to form home
guard organizations, which, while
their powers may be limited, can
still do much toward the proper
handling Of serious situations that
may arise at any time-far more
than could be done if the COM
munity was not organized.
