OPTIMISM REIGNS
AT DISTRICT COURT
Attaches Of Supreme Branch
Overcome by UnheraIded At
':titude of Philosophy.

Philosophy Is in full bloom these
days in the new home Of the District
Supreme Court
whether the germ Is transpIanted
from the great domed structure of the
Capitol. several hundred. yards away,
or Is the overflow from that foun-
tain of optimism and pessimism is a
question.
Nevertheless there is favorite
circle housed In the less pretentious
building which has developed the
philosophical attitude" to that stand
ara which sees good in everything.
even in flimsy partitions between the
rooms In which they toll daily.
And to him who utters imprecations
on the walls of his house or apart
ment, which are thin enough to per
init the noise OF the frying OF the
neighboring steak, the crying Of a
cross baby or Qest we forget) the
alleged music OF a photograph to be
distinctly transmitted to his ears,
this tale from the local headwaters OF
justice may prove OF consolation.
Now the partitions in the new court
building are not much thicker than
tissue paper. The building Is only
a temporary home for the courts and
part OF the entire structure.
Complaints there were galore when
the court attaches first began work
ingein their new quarters.
Hear All Noises.
You can hear everything that IL
going on in the rooms on every side
of you, was the general grumble. And
sure enough you could-and still can.
But grumbling has ceased complete
ly. And the story goes that the halt
was called to the complaints by some
germ of philosophy coming from
whence or where no one knows. Sus-
picion points to the Capitol. And to-
day every one sees nothing but good
in the thin walls.
There is no one here who even
thinks wrong about his neighbors,"
explained one of the courts philosoph-
ers today, That's what the much ma
ligned walls have done"

Press Exposed Intrigue to Hand
Over Forts and Troops
to Germans.
SURRENDER ORDER PRINTED
Official Documents Now in
Hands of Saloniki Provisional
Government.

SALONIKI. Feb. 20 (via London,
newspapers in Athens, the PATHS and
the Nea Hellas, have been suppressed
by the royal government for exposing
King Constantine's pro-German in
trigues. The disclosures made by
these two pro-ally newspapers relate
to the voluntary surrender last May
of Fort Rupel and an army corps by
the Greek authorities to the Bulgar-
Teuton troops.
The PATHS published a series OF
official documents that passed be-
tween the war ministry, the Third
Army Corps, and the Eleventh Divi-
sion, stationed at Saloniki, showing
that the Kings government had been
in secret agreement with the German
military authorities as to the policy
to be pursued by the Greek troops
when the prearranged Bulgarian in
vasion began. This policy, as events
have demonstrated, was voluntary
surrender and captivity.
Ordered Not to Resist.
When the PATHS was stopped the
Nea Hellas took up the task of ex-
posing the Kings reasonable acts.
One of its last issues contained a re-
markable series of documents. These
are strictly confidential military or
ders issued to the commandant OF
Fort Rupel, Major Mavroudis, by his
superior officers. Major Mavroudis,
now a Venizelist, has delivered these
orders to the provisional government
at Ssloniki, which supplied them to
the Nea Hellas.
long order,S marked strictly confiden-
tiaI, sent by General Moshopoulos, of
the Third Army Corps, to the com
mander of Fort RupeI. The general
directs that no resistance be offered
to the invaders, that all forts be evac-
uated, and that "the officers in
charge" of any troops that may be
left behind Communicate with the
German commanding officer for the
needs of their men,"
Following this order came two COM

"The Bonner Supply company is
going to go out of business" is the
announcement made this week by
the proprietors of one of Bonners
Ferry's largest business houses, W.
L. Kinnear and w. F. Kinnear.
The Messrs. Kinnear give no reason
for taking the step and todate have
made no announcement as to future
plans.
The Bonner Supply company has
always enjoyed its full share of the
patronage of the district and its bust
ness has been a steadily growing
one.
The concern announces that its
stock will be disposed of at whole
sale prices just as rapidly as posi-
BILE and it it fully expected that the
big $4,000 stock of hardware and
groceries will be cleaned out inside
of 60 days. 1t is understood that
deals are now on between the Bon
ner Supply and out-of-town retail
ers for the sale of various stocks in
both hardware and grocery depart
ments.

State Equalization Board Meets

County Assessor James c. Bush
returned Thursday from Boise where
he had been in attendance of the
sessions of the state board of equal
ization. Mr.. Bush states that with
the possible exceptions of the railway
holdings Boundary county's valua-
tons will remain as originally. A
general increase of ten per cent was
added to mercantile stocks because
of the raise in prices in all mer-
camille lines.
Thursday the state board raised
the valuations upon sawmills ten
per cent. No increase was made
on timber holdings. Figures were
placed before the board showing that
the increase in market prices over
last year had been overcome by the
increased cost of production.
Assessor Bush states that Gov
ernor Alexander seemed to hold g
particular Crude against Boundary
and Bonner counties and that the gov
ernor wanted to see farm and towr
values raised in Boundary county
1.-THE governor also seemed anxiou:
to have the farm values in Southern
Idaho reduced.
Mr.. Bush states that it is likely
that the state board will raise the
valuations on the property of the
Spokane International Railway com
pany.

RED CROSS
WOMEN MEET
WORKERS OF BOUNDARY AND
BONNER COUNTIES IN
GET-TOGETHER MEET
LOCAL AUXILIARY HAS REPORT
Work Done Here Especially Praised
by Standpoint Chapter.

Last Wednesday was a red letter
day in the history Of Red Cross
work in Boundary and Bonner
counties and over 200 enthusiastic
Red Cross workers from all parts
of the two counties heard with great
satisfaction the reports of the Sand
point chapter and the various aux
iliaries. Mrs. j. l. Monks, chairman
of the Bonners Ferry auxiliary and
Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. King attended
the "get-together" meeting.
Mrs. G. H. Martin, president of
the Standpoint chapter presided at
the meeting. T. L. Greer, of the
Humbird Lumber company, gave an
address of welcome and Mrs. ]. 1.
triotic strain, deeply impressive. In
part Mrs. Monks said, ave will
shortly appreciate that the great
and ominous cloud of war has en-
veloped us and that the great need
is for the expressions of love and
devotion; love for our country and
devotion to those who have gone
forth to protect the folds of it's
flag"
Mrs. Monks stated that the Bon
ners Ferry auxiliary felt debt of
gratitude to the Standpoint chapter
for the prompt and businesslike
methods it employed in its work with
the Boomers Ferry auxiliary. The
Boomers Ferry auxiliary had at first
affiliated with the Spokane chapter
but after the organization of the
Standpoint chapter it had transferred
and had received much better results
nv reason of affiliatinp with a chan
ter nearer at home. Mrs. Monks

now from eight to ten carloads of
ore week.
Nearly 200 men are in the employ
of the company and the lowest wage
paid is 1918 for outdoor men.
Muckers get $500 and machine men
get $3.50. Mr.. Hickman now has a
crew in the woods cutting 1000
cords of wood for winter use at the
camp and cutting stulls for the mine.
The employees are charged $125
a day for board and room. The
men get the best the market af-
fords to eat. Beef and pork from
the Hickman Bros. ranch is served
and it is meat that would tempt the
appetite of the most pampered pail
ate. The dining rooms are clean,
the kitchens sanitary, the bunkhous-
es as good as will be found in
most of the mining camps of the
country. The company store car
ries a full stock of everything the
employees may desire.
Many of the employees live during
the summer months in tents on the
mountainside and have their families
with them. 1t is probable that in
another season the homes of many
employees at Hickman will be per-
manent and then school for the
children will be required.
The activities and progress at the
Idaho Continental means much to
the people of the Kootenai valley.
In all his years as manager Mr.
Hickman has given home folks the
preference in employment and his
company has purchased all kinds of
farm products while the hay and
grain surplus finds a ready market
at highest market price. The Idaho
Continental company is a benefit to
Boundary county and Bonners Fer
ry both directly and indirectly and
every citizen should see to it that
no obstacles are placed in the way
of Mr. Klockmann and his associates
in their efforts to develop and en-
large the largest ore body of the
district. The success of the Idaho
Continental means that the owners
of small prospects will be encour-
aged; that the attention of capital
will be directed here; that new prop
critics will be opened up and de-
veloped And from all of these
Bonners Ferry and the whole coun-
try will benefit in the same manner
as Wallace, Kellogg, Burke and other
Occur d'Alene towns, the richest of
Idaho, have benefited.

BIG DRAINAGE MEET ASSURED
Creston People Working Hard to
Make Event Great Success.

The committees in charge of ar
rangements for the international
drainage meeting to be held at Cres-
ton, b. c., on September 20 have
plans drawn up for a most inter
esting program. According to the
Creston Review, at present the plan
is, if possible, to have the engineers
from both countries gather at Cres-
ton some few days prior to the con-
ference and go into the matter to-
ing the to-be-reclaimed area over.
If this can be arranged it will be
in order to have their preliminary
findings submitted to a meeting of
the b. G. cabinet ministers, who will
be present it is hoped, as we'll as
the U. S. authorities the day before
the conference so that any state
ments they have to make will be
based on the information thus sup
piled them. Also, this getting the
engineers together here will do away
with the meeting of this sort which
had been planned for Victoria in
October, it being felt that the Wash
ington authorities would hardly care
to send their men here in Septem-
Der and to Victoria again the fol-
lowing month.
The international committee is at
work on the drainage authorities at
Washington to insure the attendance
of the engineers and the Creston
board of trade is in touch with Vic
toria for the attendance of the B. c..
engineers as well as a couple of the
cabinet and possibly PRIMER Brew
ster.

RED CROSS MEETING

Cross, both senior and junior,

rem Of Boundary county who
are in any way interested in
Red Cross work, are most
cordially invited to attend a
meeting at Kents' hall, Satur-
day afternoon, September LIST,

opportunity to know exactly
what our local auxiliary has
done, and is doing; also, that
all may have a chance to hear
about several new features
that are to be added to our
work, to give us any helpful
suggestions that may occur

there will be a noticeable in
crease in our membership, and
we are now prepared to fur

kind of work each one finds
most interesting in sewings

COUNTY GETS MONEY
FOR C0NFISCATED CAR

Boundary county cleaned up $500
Thursday when it released its claim
on the seven-passenger Buick auto
which was confiscated by Deputy
Sheriff Callahan last May under the
law providing for confiscation where
a vehicle is used in the transporting
of intoxicating liquor.
Mrs. f. Devan, of Spokane, estab-
lished her claim of being the
mortgagor of the car in the sum of
5000. B. F. Allen, of Arlington,
Wash, was the mortgage. Sheriff
Sawyer and County Prosecuting At
torney Wilson had the car appraised
and the appraisement was $1,000. The
parties claiming the car agreed to
pay the county the mortgages

READY FOR THE
1918 TERM

Preparatory to the opening of the
schools on Monday, September 10,
the school board of Independent
District No. is having the build
ings and grounds put into first class
condition. In addition to the regular
fall cleaning, which is being done
by Janitors Mayer and Dion, prac-
tically every room in the grade build
ing is to be newly calcamined, and
all the buildings are to be con-
nected with the sewer.
The most noticeable improvement
the appearance of the grounds. The
front lawns of both grade and high
school buildings were graded last
spring and planted with grass. They
had summer attention and now give
the buildings the advantage of a
better foreground.
There has been but one change
made in the staff of grade teachers
and the room assignments of those
retained will be the same as last
year. The eighth grade, which has
been handled partly on the depart
mental plan, will have a full time
teacher in charge this year. Miss
Abbie Chestek has been elected to
the position, the change having beer
made possible by the completion OF
the high school commercial depart
ment's work at the close of last
term.
In the high school the depart
ments of history, science and manua
training will be in charge of newly
elected teachers. 1t is probable thai
some slight changes will be made
in the high school curriculum thi;
year with a view to strengthening
the general course and emphasiz
ing the practical subjects more thar
it has been possible to do in tn,
past.
The teachers of the schools O.

THE BONNER SUPPLY COMPANY
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS

stated that the building now occupied
was for lease and that the fixtures
would be rented or sold.
The sale of the hardware and gro
Gerry stock will begin September LIST.
The concern plans to extend no more
credit and will endeavor to collect
in at once all outstanding accounts.
The Messrs. Kinnear have been
prominent business men of Bonners
Ferry for many years, w. L. Kinnear
being one of the pioneer merchants
and his son, w. F. Kinnear, having
been associated with him for some
10 years. The Kinnears have been
fair and just in their dealings with
patrons and have been liberal in ex-
tending credit to the worthy and
many a man in this district owes
his start toward financial success to
w. L. Kinnear's early day help.
The Kinnear families have been
active in church. social and commu-
nifty affairs and it is sincerely hoped
by their business associates and pa
irons and friends that their plans
for the future will keep them here
as residents of Boomers Ferry.

spoke well and with the inspiration
of one who had a message. She
was very warmly applauded at the
conclusion of her talk.
Several reports of work accomp-
lished and work planned was made
by representatives of the various
auxiliaries. The report made by Mrs.
Monks for the Boomers Ferry auxil-
larry compared most favorably with
the report of work done by the
Standpoint chapter. Mrs. Martin told
the assembly that the work done
by the Bonners Ferry ladies was as
nearly perfect as possible, that it
had been done promptly and that
the work of the secretary, Miss
Goldie Cave, was par excellent.
Following is the complete report
of the Bonners Ferry auxiliary:
