TO RE-DISTRICT
THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS DISTRICTS TO BE
DIVIDED ON TOWNSHIP LINES
AT JULY MEETING
LAWS ARE NOW CONFLICTING
Proposed Change win Benefit North
and South Ends of County.

The board of county commissioners
met in conference Saturday and de-
cided that at the regular meeting OF
the board in July the commissioners
districts OF the county should be
changed so as to give a more equal
distribution of territory to each dis
trict and more equal representation
to people living in the south and north
ends of the county
1t is proposed to divide the county
into commissioners districts on the
township lines. District No. / will
take in that part of the county lying
north of Township 63 District No. 2
will include all of Boundary county
lying north of Township 61 and Dis
trict No. will include all of the coun-
ty lying north of Township SO.
The law regarding the changing of
county commissioners districts pro
vides that such changes must be made
at the regular meeting in July preced-
ing any general election.
The legislature at its last session,
changed the primary law making the
date of the primary election 80 days
earlier, the first Tuesday in August.
The law also provides that all nomi-
nations must be filed on or before
July g. 1t will be seen that the laws
regarding the changing of commission
ers districts and the filing of nomina-
tions for the office of county commits
sioner, are conflicting. 1t has been
held. however, that candidates for
nomination for the office of commits
sioner may make their filings on July
3, for office in the district of which
they will be legal electors when the
new commissioners districts are legal
ly changed.
The proposed change of commission
ers' districts would have been made
last year but for the wording of the
law requiring this action to be done
the first meeting in July preceding a
general election.
The changing of the commission
ers' districts seems to meet with gen
eral favor both with the citizens of
the county and with those who plan
to seek nominations for the offices
of county commissioners. Under the
proposed change the north end of the
county and the south end of the county
will be able to put forward candidates
for office of county commissioner and
secure their election without fear of
some candidate from Bonners Ferry
who might, because of his acquaint-
ance and place of residence in the
thickly populated part of the county
otherwise be able to win the office
Heretofore the candidates from the
north end of the county have always
had to contend against a candidate
from the Bonners Ferry district and
the advantage was always too great
to overcome. The commissioners feel
that the changing of commissioners
districts will work out to the advan-
tage of the north and south ends of the
county who have not had equal repre-
sentation under the old system.

If, therefore, everything is left open

that county conventions should make

NATIONAL PARK
AND MONUMENTS

There seems to be some doubt in the
minds of the public as to the differ
ence between a national park and a
national monument, and word as to
their status may not be amiss. A ma
tional park is an area of considerable
size and of particular scenic beauty
which is set aside by act of congress,
while national manument is much
smaller area of some historic or geo.
logic interest which is set aside by
proclamation of the president. Until
recently when the status of the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado was changed
from national monument to that of
a national park and the Zion Nation
al monument and Sieur de Monts
National monument, now Lafayette
National park, were similarly reclas-
sified, there was a serious overlapp-
ing of definition, but fortunately they
now enjoy their. rightful titles.
At the present time there are 19
national parks and % national monu-
ments under the direction of the de-
partment Of the interior, while there
are 10 national monuments under the
jurisdiction of the war department
It is hoped that in time congress will
see fit to place the administration Of
all these areas under the department
of the interior, where they logically
belong Landscape Architecture.

Too, the auto is creating desire on
the part of the farmer to have things
done. Today, he wants things done
promptly. When he wants goods-he
wants them now, today, and so he IS
using his automobile more and more
to drive to town for them, because
there he can get what he wants when
he wants it.
The farmer today sees as never be

can serve him better-much bette.
and more satisfactorily than Gistat,

wet floor or in a bath is dangerous.
In building where there is moth
ing to burn, poor wiring may do no
harm. Such is not the case in farm
barns particularly. The dampness Of
the stockbarn is destructive to wire
insulation, and a short circuit may at
any time ignite the gathered cobwebs.
In the hayloft hay, straw, cobwebs and
dust are usually in contact with wires,
fixtures and unenclosed switches and
fuse blocks. Under these conditions
the slightest electric trouble may
cause disastrous fire. Conduit wir-
ing is advisable in barns.
All work should be done in strict
conformity with the National Electri-
cal Code. This is the standard
throughout the land, and the legal
standard of this state.
Farmers can do no better than to
purchase these plants, installed, from
some known, reputable dealer, under
contract that all work will comply
with said code. A reputable dealer
cannot afford to let either death or
fire come back to plague his consci-
| ence, because of incompetent work.
