BROAD ASKS

CLAIMS B0NNERS FERRY OWES
HIM S3,740.60 ON MAIN STREET
PAVING CONTRACT
SUIT FILED In FEDERAL COURT
City Officials Say He Has Been Paid
According To Contract

Suit was filed in the U. S. District
Court at Occur d Alene on May 81 by
James A. Broad against the town of
Bonners Ferry, in which the plaintiff
seeks to recover from the town the
sum of $3,740.56, claiming that this
sum is due him on his contract with
the town for the construction of the
paving on Main street and for fills
made on side streets last summer.
The complaint was served upon the
town officials Saturday morning
by Deputy U. S. Marshall Howe. Fred
b. Morrill,, of Spokane, is attorney for
the plaintiff.
ment and recites all the circumstances
leading up to the passing of the paw
ing ordinance, the issuance of the inn
provement district bonds,s etc, and
also takes in the contract of the town
with Contractor Broad.
Broad is basing his claim on the
fact that bids were submitted for the
city paving in lump sums, the engi-
neers estimate being $27, ,465.00.
The contract was entered into be-
tween Contractor Broad and the city
on the unit basis, however, and in
his contract Broad was to be paid &C
cording to the amount of work done.
The final figures of work done by the
contractor entitled him to pay in the
sum of $23, ,724.44 and this amount has
been paid him. If he had done all
of the work originally planned the
city would have had to pay him the
amount of the lump bid but under the
contract he had with the city it does
not appear that he can collect furth-
er money. City Engineer Cave and
City Attorney o. G. Wilson, both state
that there is no chance for Broad to
win out in his present suit.
The filing of the action came as a
surprise to the city council as it was
figured that the matter had been fully
settled

NORTH DAKOTA FARMER DOESN'T
LIKE NON-PARTIZAN LEAGUE

H. G.. HoltZ, prominent farmer
of North Dakota, learning that REV.
McKaig is working in your state and
you might want line on him." sends
to the Lewiston Banner a statement
showing how the farmers of North
Dakota are made the goats by Town
ley and other leaders of the nonpar-
tisan league. The same program that
has loaded the farmers with heavy
burden there is being mapped out for
Idaho by the nonpartisaE league
leaders. Therefore, this statement
is of interest here. 1t follows:
"You asked me if / do not know
that the N. P. L. has placed the
control of the state gvernment in the
that it is in the hands of the N. p. l..
or we wouldn't have been called on
to pay the exorbitant taxes we are
paying. l am we'll aware of the
fact that we have a little 125-barrel
mill at Drake and when YOU leaguers
are trying to show up a profit, it
shows a loss, and you know this as
well as l do.
"You speak OF the state dockage
on wheat. Now, / am selling wheat
probably as much as the average
farmer, and / can't see that we bene-
fitted one iota by this law you people
are talking about. It's the price and
demand for feed purposes. Oats are
worth one dollar per bushel, so it's
worth while to clean wheat to get
the benefit of what's in it. Still it is

SOME WILL HOLD THE. SACK
Not Enough Money To Pay Delegate
Expenses To State Conventions.

Nothing will be left of the $500
appropriation made by the last leeis-
lative assembly to pay the expenses
of delegates to state conventions bv
the time the nominating conventions
are held says the Boise News.
Claims for the railroad expenses of
delegates to the republican conven-
ton at Occur d'Alene have been filed
with the state auditor by upward of
60 members who attended the meet
ing. These claims average $40 each.
Total claims when all have been
filed will call for approximately
$4,000, in the estimate of David Bur
rell, secretary of the republican state
central committee.
After the democratic convention at
Lewiston there will probably be very
little delay on the part of delegates
in filing their claims for travelling
expenses, for as it looks now less
than half the appropriation will be
available to meet them, and it will
be case of "first come, first
served with the high cost If rail
road faIe taking the hindmost. the
board of examiners will not be likely
tn create a deficit to care for the
hindmos, states State Auditor F. &.
Gallet.
When the conventions to nominate
candidates for state offices are held,
delegates will be entitled to their
railroad fare to and from their homes,
just as the statute says, but there
will be no funds available to pay
them.
This situation will be due to the
fact that the legislature, when it
adopted the policy of the state rather
than the counties assuming the bur-
den of sending delegates to conven-
tions, and when it provided an APP
preparation from the general fund
for the purpose, overlooked the pres
idential campaign calling for conven-
tions to choose delegations to the ma
tional conventions.

"How about these loans the bank
of North Dakota makes? First we
pay with out application fee of $5
for each $1,000 we apply for. Sec
ond, the application lays to their
leisure and we farmers await their
approval. Should they turn us down
the SIS is loss to whom? The
farmer.
"But man like the Rev. Mr.. Ray
McKaig comes along who has taken
the job of working Townleyism in
Idaho. He gets a loan and gets it
quick. AS the assessor assesses land
under the new law at full valuation,
McKaig has two tracts of land in a
hilly section. He has borrowed of
the Bank of North Dakota the net
sum of $1,000. The mortgage was
secured on a tract of land partly
wild and hilly. Upon one tract of
400 acres he obtained $500. On an
other tract of 313 he obtained $500.
This mortgage was filed in Morton
county. The assessor appraised the
first tract at $500. The second
tract was assessed at only $3,599. In
my opinion Mr.. McKaig has sold this
second tract Of land to the state of
OF North Dakota. / want to ask
you brother farmers does this look
good to you? l say no.
"Do you blame the farmers of
North Dakota for rebelling against
such movements? / say it is time
we do our figuring and not put up
our accounts in such hands as are
pulling the wool over the lion and
calling themselves N. P. L. It's a
shame so many farmers have been
mislead by this Townley dictation.
These ren. brother farmers, that rep
resent to US that tie N. P. L is all
right have something behind their
ears and will frankly tell you that
they are looking for fat job either
in the county or state, or rubbing
against you and telling you it is nice
and warm. I say wake up, brother
farmer, and take notice before it
goes any farther"

lie was brought here during the night
from .EldoYado where he was arrested
in connection with a motor car theft
and recognized as the escaped convict
by a former Kansas City detective.
En- route to the prison, La Trasse
asserted he was thru with crime, that
when he had finished his sentence he
was going to settle down and take
care of his mother.
La Trasse insisted he had not com
mitted a crime since he had escaped
five years ago. He said after his es
cape from the penitentiary here he
went to Newport News, shipped to
Brest as "muleteer" and enlisted in
the foreign legion.
After eight heavy engagements, he
said, he was wounded in the side by
shrapnel and spent months in hos
pitfalls. In all, he said, he saw three
years active service before returning
to America last May. He beat his way
Funston and three months in the
harvest fields. Then he went to work
around Wichita as a day laborer in
the oil fields.
EXPLAINING his capture, he said, he
went out to a small farm with the
idea of renting the place and settling
down. He said there was a stolen car
there but he had had nothing to do
with it. Police drove up. He ran
from force of habit. He said he knew
when overtaken that the Zig was up"
