SHOULD PAY
TRIP EXPENSES
COUNTY ATTORNEY WILL MAKE
TEST CASE OF EXPENSES
FOR RECENT BOISE TRIP
APPEAL WAS FILED YESTERDAY
Says Commissioners Should Not Al
low These Claims.

An appeal from the order of the
county commissioners, allowing a
claim of expenses for ]. V. Stanley,
formerly county auditor and clerk,
incurred on recent trip to Boise to
attend meeting of the county au-
ditors of the state, was filed in the
district COURT yesterday by Prose-
cutting Attorney o. c. Wilson.
The claim for expenses amounts to
$3.50 and was filed with the COM
missioners at their meeting on Feb
ruary IL but was not approved un-
til the meeting of March 18th.
In speaking of the action brought
yesterday Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson had the following to say:"The
question has been raised a number of
times since l have been county attor-
ney, whether or not the county Off
Gals may go to Boise and make
other trips over the state and then
charge the expenses of the trip to
the county. Numerous complaints
have been made to me by taxpayers
of the county on this score and l
have advised the county commission
ers several times that, in my opinion,
these expense accounts are not legal
Il
that the matter should be definitely
settled at this time on account of the
numerous extra calls which have
been and probably will be made by
the state officials for the county
officials to go to Boise for confer
ences.
The question can be handled with
practically no expense to the county
as it is entirely question of law.
On two previous occasions l adj
vised county officials that they could
not make trips to Boise and charge
their expenses to the county and the
officials did not make the trips
l would have preferred to have
brought this appeal before Mr.. Stan
ley left the county but was unable
to do so for the reason that the
bill was allowed the February meet
ing but the minutes of that meeting
were not entered or signed in the
J commissioners proceedings un-il the
day Mr.. Stanley's resignation went
into effect, March IL.
Some later items of expense for
Mr.. Stanley's trip to Boise appear in
Mr.. SANKEY'S final report. to The
commissioners, which the ccn.mis-
sioners have approved, and incude
a charge for a dinner for three
way commissioners and a breakfast
for three. | have not a~-ealed
from these charges as the report
is incorrect in other respcc 6. The
matter will be presented ia Il . coun-
ty commissioners at the next
meeting and they will L. lcubt-
eddy rescind their order"

Draft Evaders Arrested

A man giving his name as Joe Nc
Laughlin, of Acton, Mont, was ar
rested here Thursday by Deputy
Sheriff Fry, because he did not have
a registration card in his possession.
Mclaughlin told that he was over 81
and so was not required to register.
A telegram to his mother brought
the information that he was born in
1890. Later Mclaughlin told the au-
.thorities that ne was on a drive in
Minnesota at registration time and
could not register and that none of
the men on the drive did register.
He will be held here until the au-
thorities receive advice from the fed
eral officers.
William McAuffuy, who claims his
home is in Oregon and who was in
Canada at the time of the draft
registration, failed to produce a card
for Town Marshall Bangs on Friday
and was placed under arrest. Nc
Auffuy later filled out a question
naire.

hour for a sidebet of $25 and the

Some time ago H. E Storm re-
cieved a letter from the national
committee in charge ofsthe raising of
funds for Syrian and Armenian re-
lief work, asking him to act as
chairman of a committee in this dis
trict to solicit funds. Mr.. Storm
mailed out some 500 letters of APP

contributed to the fund thus far by
the following: l .Causton, $500, ].

true meaning of that term, on the
site of the former jamestown expo
sition.
Old Point Comfort with Fort Mon
roe as the big item of interest, and
Hampton and Newport News are all
connected by trolley. Over at New
port News is the great Newport
News Shipbuilding Co. which en-
ploys tens of thousands of men. 1t
is one of the places the government
will probably have to help out with
the proposed housing facilities. Then
there are three great embarkation
camps: Stuart, Hill and Morrison,
the latter for aviation only. For
miles, literally, along the railroad
rights-of-ways are great warehouses
for the army supplies. 1t is the
enormity of everything that strikes
the newcomer first.
But as far as the country is con-
cerned l would not live here if l
were given half county. There are
too many negroes-about three out
of every five of the population around
here. And the white people havn't
the pep and ginger of the Northern
ers and Westerners. They always
have lots of time ard are slow about
everything but charging. Otherwise
they are quite friendly and so far
as the uniformed men are concerned,
they are always quite welcome.
However, a picture of mountains
and great forests always makes me
think of Clifty and the old Kootenai
Valley and the happy months L spent
there.

Farmers Banquet
Next Monday Noon

Through some misunder-
standing the Herald last week
announced that the farmers
of Boundary county would
give their banquet in honor of
the members of the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club on
Monday, March 18th. The cor
rect date for the meeting is
next Monday, March 25th and
the feed and discussion to fol-
low will be at the l. o. o. F.
hall. The banquet will be
served by Mr. Bixler, of the
Grill.
A. V. Hemming and Rev.
U S. Crowder have charge of
the arrangements for the
meeting and from all reports
there will be a large atten-
dance. The commercial club
members are glad to have the
opportunity of being guests
of the farmers and it is GER
tain that the outcome of the
affair will be a better under
standing between the farmer
and townspeople.
The purpose of the meeting
is to create and encourage
harmony, goodwill and Coop
Grafton between the townspeo-
Pile and the farmer. 1t is en-
couraging to know that the
merchant and theN farmer
have the desire to get togeth-
er and to assist each other.
When the townspeople realize
that the welfare of Boomers
Ferry depends upon the sue
cess of the farmer and the
farmer understands that his
home will be of little value if
he has no nearby town or
community center there will
come to this district a deter
mination to cooperate which
will work out to the good of
every citizen.

Prepare for Possible
/. w. w. Invasion

Acting upon the sugges-
tons of private citizens and
members of the Boundary
County Defense Council, Sher-
iff Dunning arranged yester-
day to swear in some so dep
uty sheriffs in Bonners Ferry
and nearby districts who will
be instructed to hold them
selves in readiness should
they be required to assist in
handling any |. w. w. trouble
which might arise
The precaution of swearing
in this number of deputy
sheriffs was deemed advisable
on account of l. w. w. activi-
ties in st. Maries, and threats
which the leading l. w. w.
have made in regard to what
they would do in the lumber
ing districts of Idaho. Federal
troops are now stationed at
st. Maries to quell any posi-
BILE l. w. w. disturbance.
The local authorities are
not looking for trouble with
the l. w. w. and do not ex-
pect that this county will have
to deal with a situation such
as happened at st. Maries last
week. The county will be
ready, however, to cope with
any who may come here look
ing for trouble.

THE NURSE

The world grows better year by year
Because in her little sphere,
Puts her apron and grns and sings,
And keeps doing the same old things.
Taking the temperature, giving the pills
To remedy mankind's numerous ills;
Feeding the baby; answering bells;
Being polite with heart that rebels
Longing for home, but all the while
Wearing the same old professional smile;
Blessing the newborn baby's first breath,
Closing the eyes that still in death.
Taking the blame for the Doctors mistakes;
Oh! dear, what lot of patience it takes.
Going off duty at o'clock
Tired, discouraged, just ready to drop;
But called back special" at SEVENTEEN,
With in her heart but it must not be
Morning and evening, noon and night,
Just doing it over and hoping it's right
When we lay down our caps and crossing the bar,
Oh Lord will you give us just one little star
To in with uniform
In that wonderful city where the head is you?

of Washington make possible the re-
call of officials who are derelict in
their duties. Now, therefore
Be it resolved, That we condemn
the city officials of the city of Spo-
kane for harboring the l. w. w. and
the citizenship 0f the city of Spokane
for failing and refusing to recall
