asked for his resignation, it was said.

AS matter Of fact, the Comptroller
added Cokeley, in June, 1913, recon-
mended that lots in West Twenty
seventh Street, just south of Neptune
Avenue, in the disputed district, be
released for $100. The final settlement
the Comptroller recommended was $500
lot, twenty-foot front and 100 feet
deep.
Cokeley testified that he visited
Coney Island with his assistant
Charles Tracey, and looked over the
property in question, interviewing sew,

neighborhood, and ascertained in his
estimation that inshore lots were

Finally, in June, 1919, Cokeley tes.
tilted, Walter O'Neill. confidential in
spector for the Comptroller, came tc
him with the information that the
Comptroller would not stand for the
recommendations. Cokeley was told, he
said, that the Comptroller was dis
pleased with the way he had handled
the Neptune Avenue matter and die
not think that he had given it the con,
slderation and study it should have

papers signed by me, but don't think
there is even that. 1t was all done by
O'Neill, but he couldn't make the
recommendation because he was not

Comptroller Craig expects to COM

charges of collusion in the selection of
the Neptune Avenue school site to-day

First Failures Not Fatal.

How often have we heard people
say that If they had their lives to live
over again they would do very differ
emily at certain points! And, though
we could see that they thought they
meant what they said, we understood
that they did not mean 1t very seri-
ously, and that second chance at life
would probably not yield a much bet
ter result than the first one had. As
a matter Of fact not many OF us have
made such fatal mistakes In life that
we have not had hundreds OF second
chances Of overcoming very largely
the handicap and disadvantage that
they brought us. Indeed, the pathway
Of life for every man Of us is strewn
with second chances and new opportu-
mites of making good. There IS this
to be said, however: second chanoe
may be little harder to realize on
than a first one would have been. But
to say that thing is hard Is not to
say anything about its possibility. A
first mistake or a first failure may be
bad, but does not decide life unless
we let it.-Montreal FsWily herald

GREATEST OF ALL VIRTUES
Gratitude Means Recognition Of
Amount Of Good Which Has Been
Bestowed by Others.

Gratitude means that memory has
come to the aid Of purpose, and that
praise is reinforcing prayer. Grad-
tude links the past with the future, the
debt incurred with the duty to be per-
formed, the service received with the
service rendered. The question,
"What ought we to do for othersT
cannot receive a proper answer until
pains have been taken to weigh and
value all that others have already
done for us. Benevolence is largely
an affair Of memory and of the graft
tude that memory inspires. The
benevolence that is most beneficent
does not begin. as some moralists seem
to think, in desire to do good to
other people, but In adequate recognl-
tion Of the enormous amount of good
which other people have done to our
selves. Nine-tenths of what we have
to give is gift bestowed upon us.
and only when this is realized does
altruism rest upon its proper ground.
or feel the full force Of the motives
which impel the individual to the
service of others. Divorced from
gratitude, all the social virtues would
shrivel.-L. p. Jacks.

County Seat Has Fire.

Occur d'Alene, March 29.-The city
hall, partly used by the county for
courthouse purposes, was damaged
today by fire aud water to an amount
estimated 10 excess OF $4,000. The
Ere originated 10 the attic through a
defect In the fue. A quantity OF
condemned walnuts was being burned
in the furnace and the heat caused
the chimney to burn out.
The fire department. quickly extln-
quished the blaze, which was confined
to the upper story. A large section
of the roof toward the back part of
the building was burned.
The greater part of the damage to
the interior and contents was caused
by water. Every office In the building
suffered. Hundreds of books In the
city library were soaked. Many
county records in the several Offices
we're thus damaged, although they
were not rendered useless. Miss
Minnie Farr, deputy county treasurer,
siyed the tax rolls by removing them
from the desks and placing them in
The vault. Water caused the plaster
TO fall from the ceilings and ruined
Interior decorating which had just
been completed by crew of men who
had been occupied on the task for 20
days.
The building was completely
covered by insurance.

SHORT OF MONEY
Southern County Seeks Advice,
Gets II.

Boise, Idaho. Warrants are the
only means at the disposal Of the
counties of the state of Idaho for
paying their debts, is the opinion
written March ~, by Roy l..
Black, attorney general, for H. A.
Padgham, prosecuting attorney OF
Gooding county, who asked if there
was any way county could pay
in cash or could add an amount TO
each claim to cover the discount.
The Idaho official also stated that
there was no provision in the
statutes whereby county could
make up the difference between
the claim and the discounte d
amount of the warrant.
The question as asked by Mr..
Padgham is as follows:
"Where county warrants are
being discounted for the reason
that they are registered and the
funds are not in the bank to cash
them, is there any law by which
the county can pay in cash or add
enough to each claim to pay the
discount? Also, if the telephone
company refuses to accept the
warrants, can they remove the
phones on account of the discount
on the warrants?"
To the second question the
attorney general answered that he
was of the opinion that the COM
pany could not remove the phones
because the public utilities COM
mission would not permit it.

tor. has the following to say in
connection with the report that
orders for several carloads Of dodder
free seed, 80 per cent pure, have been
received at the seed commissioners
Off :e:
"Such orders cannot be filled. Too
much laxity in regard to buying,
selling, trading, planting and
havesting has been practiced the last
few years. Tbs year the results of
such practices are keenly felt.
"The pure seed law has been
promulgated for the protection of the
farmer who desires to produce clean,
marketable product. Violations have
been frequent, as indicated by the
Quality OF the seed this year. In
many cases it has been the lack of
knowledge OF the pure seed law. The
following statements cover the most
important factors in the handling of
seed: No person, firm or corporation

WATER IS Too HIGH
Postpone New Bridge. Spend
Money on Streets.

There will be no new bridge
built across the-crcek at the west
ern limits Of Rethdrum until fall.
This is the conclusion arrived at by
the board of trustees at the ad
journed meeting held last Friday
night, based on information to the
effect that it would not be practi-
cable to shut off the water and it
was not deemed advisable to 60 to
the expense of diverting the stream
while the bridge is under con-
struction. The money in the
public improvements fund, which
was to have been spent on the
bridge, is to be used to pay for
gravelling streets to the extent
that the board deems such street
work necessary.
Members present at the meeting
were Chairman Borell and
Trustees 0. G. Farnsworth, E. A.
Swanson and L. P. Bradbury.
The surplus in the salary fund
was ordered transferred to the
current expense fund.

to having them removed an order
was made to install line of hitch
ing posts on the west side OF Gray
