The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1918-11-01

Bert A. Reed has been renominated
for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr.. Reed
has held the office of Prosecuting At
torney for one term during which he
has handled an enormous business for
the County efficiently and economic
ally.
Over $50 tax foreclosure cases have
been handled without any additional
expense whatever to the County; 35
criminal cases have been prosecuted
in the District Court of which 80 have
been convicted, five acquitted, six for
feited bonds, and two cases dismissed;
in the Justice and Probate Court Sc
convictions have been had, acquitted,
and two forfeited bonds. The above
constitutes but small amount of the
work done by the office but gives an
idea of the amount thereof.
Besides doing this enormous amount
of work the Office has been run more
economically than any other Office of
proportionate size in Northern Idaho.
Bonner County having much less work
has maintained it's office of Prescott
ing attorney at cost of $3,564.84;
Shoshone County, Prosecuting attor-
ney office, $3,75745; while in Koote-
mai County the office under Mr.. Reed
cost $2,557.03 for the year ending Jan.
IL, 1918. Considering the showing
made by Mr.. Reed, he is entitled to
another term as prosecuting attorney
and asks the suffrage of the people
strictly on the merits of the office.

]. M. Finney for Coroner.

]. M. Finney, candidate for coroner,
is physician and surgeon. During
his eight years of practice in Harri-
son, he has been very successful in
building up a large practice.
He is interested in the Lake view
Hospital and Sanitarium at Harrison,
which institution is gaining a great
reputation for therpeutical and surgi-
cal work. DR.. Finney's profession
well qualities him for the Office of
Coroner.

school work can be certain of receiv-
ing an answer that he can rely upon.
In addition to the regular routine
work of the Office, he has also accom-
plished much in the different lines of
war work.
Through his experience and knowl-
edge of the work he has been able to
accomplish the exceptional act of re-
ducing the cost of maintenance of the

Office, and at the same time improving
it's service to the public.
The taxpayers of this county will
undoubtedly consider successful ex-
perience, proved honesty, ability and
economy the most important reasons
why Mr.. Egbers should be reelected
on November 9Th.
A vote for r. G. Egbers for county
superintendent of schools is a vote
for man you know, man you have
tried and found to be competent and
true.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1918-11-01

Sherman H. Smith, of Post Falls,
Idaho, has been nominated for the Of
fee of assessor by the republicans of
this county. Mr.. Smith is an old
timer in this county, having lived here
for thirty years. He is well known,
highly respected, and is thoroughly
familiar with real estate and other
valuations in Kootenai County.
Mr.. Smith can be depended upon, if
elected, to give to every one a fair
and equitable valuation and assess
ment. The Office of assessor is one
of the most important offices in the
county because upon the valuations of
a persons property depends the
amount of taxes, both state and coun-
ty, such person will have to pay and
the matter of determining valuations
of property should never be entrusted
to an official who is not thoroughly
experienced in valuation and well ac-
quainted with each and every portion
of the county.
Mr.. Smith can be depended upon
for equitable and fair valuations and
vote for him is a vote for square
deal to each and every tax payer.
r. C. Egbers, for Co. Superintendent.
X. G. Egbers, our present county
superintendent, was re-nominated at
the recent primary election by the
highest vote of any candidate on any
ticket in the County.
''There is reason" for this excep-
tional vote and endorsement. Every
branch of service connected with this
Office has had the most careful atten-
ten Any citizen writing to him

fighting in France is not expected to
last long, Observation-Disclosures Wind and

here today from London.
The Germans are licking their hurts
after their recent thrashing and evl-
IDENTITY do not mean TO reattack until
they are ready 10 do so ON q great

being openly and enormously rein

that the next thrust will be any more
effective than that Of a month ago.

expect a speedy triumph.
