A Low PERCENTAGE OF DISEASE
DIR. j. ID. Adams, Director of Animal
Industry, Visits BOnners Ferry.

DR.. ]. ID Adams. state director of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, was
in the city Saturday on an official
visit. He is visiting each county OF
the state in the interests of the live
stock industry and to confer with
deputy state veterinarians in regard
to the state program for the control
of diseases of livestock.
Under the supervision and direction
of DR.. Adams the bureau of animal
industry has given real service and
owing to the work accomplished by
the bureau the past two years there
is less disease among livestock than
ever before in the history of the state
DR.. Adams states that his depart
ment is working in cooperate with the
federal government in the effort to
control and eradicate tuberculosis
among cattle.
Over $4,000 head of dairy and beef
cattle have been inspected the past
two years by officers of the bureau
The average of disease found in these
cattle was little more than three
per cent. The percentage varies in
some counties, larger percentage
of disease being found in the counties
where there are more dairy than beef
cattle. In a few counties DR.. Adams
found as high as 20 per cent of the
cattle diseased but in these instances
most of the stock had been shipped in
from other states.
DR. Adams states that he has found
scab in but one county of the state
and only two cases of glanders in
north Idaho, while there is but little
hog cholera in the state. He says that
but few hogs are being raised by the
farmers owing to market conditions.
In company with DR.. White, deputy
state veterinarian, DR.. Adams visited
several local herds of cattle and met
as many stockmen as possible during
the day.

LOGGING TRUCK
HIT BY TRAIN
ALBERT WALTERS is INSTANTLY Y
KILLED IN ACCIDENT AT CAMP
% LAST THURSDAY
FUNERAL HELD HERE MONDAY
Deceased Is Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. q
Walters OF N0rthside.

Albert Leroy Walters was instantly
killed last Thursday evening, at 5:15
O'Clock, when Great Northern passen-
ger train No. "A, ran into the Mack
truck he was driving across the track
at point two and a half miles east
of Ural, Mont, where camp No. %, OF
the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
is located
w. ]. Hewett, walking boss for the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company, was
near the place of the accident. He
did not see the engine crash INTO the
truck but was one of the first to
reach the truck and to help get Walt
er's body from under it. He states
that the truck was hurled fully loo
feet from the place it was struck.
The body of Walters was quickly
taken from under the truck where il
lay face upward There was a cut
over the left eye and the head was
crushed just back of the right ear
Later examination of the body showed
several minor bruises and the left
leg broken near the hip. The body
was taken on to Eureka on No. "a
and was brought to Bonners Ferry
Sunday by relatives.
There were no eye-witnesses of the
accident Walters was driving the
truck to camp from the landing sta
tion on the Kootenai river and it is
believed that his attention was di-
verted just as he was crossing the
track so that he did not see or hear
the approaching train. He approached
the track from the opposite side of the
engineers cab and the fireman was
shoveIing coal so that neither the en-
gineer or fireman saw the truck. The
train was stopped within about 500
feet after the collision. The crossing
is one that is used only for logging
purposes.
Walters was an expert truck driver
and before going to Camp % had been
driving a caterpillar tractor for the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company at
Camp 81.

Washington" for Idaho" in the bill
however, the legislature killed the
measure.
Then Idaho Was Born.
This was followed by the creation
by congress of Idaho territory, giving
Washington territory the present east
ern boundary of the state. Agitation
for separation of the northern conn
ties of Idaho from the rest of the state
was soon precipitated within the ne "
territory, however, when the territorial
Legislature, in 1864 permanently To-
Gated the capitol, which had been at
Lewiston, in the northern part at
Boise. in the southern section, and
this has been continued ihtermittently
to the present time,
Same Mountain Barrier.
Meanwhile, in the Washington terri
torial legislature. the agitation flared
up on occasion. In 1868, the legisla-
ture adopted memorial to congress
which asked that the panhandle" of
Idaho, created by the formation of the
territory of Montana be returned to
Washington. This memorial recited
the geographical barriers between the
northern part of Idaho and the capi-
tol, and declared that 1.-The CONNER
cial, social and political interests of
the people of said northern portion of
Idaho are identical with those of the
people of Washington territory"
This argument is, in the main, the
same as that advanced at the present
time by advocates of the formation of
new state.
People Vote in Favor.
Similar memorials were adopted by
the Washington legislature in succeed
ing years. and in 1876 it submitted to
the people a proposal for statehood
This was approved, and in the con-
stitutiOnal convention which met three
years later were two representatives
of northern Idaho. Although the CON
stitution was adopted by the people at
the next election, congress refused to
create the new state.
The nearest that advocates Of "se-
cession" or northern Idaho ever came
to realizing their hopes was in 1886,
when only the lack of presidential ap-
proval prevented it. The Idaho terri
torial legislature, in 1884, had memor-
0ll1Su CbuSISSS lOI annexation Ol LUe
northern counties to Washington, and
in the following election both political
parties in both Washington and Idaho
declared for such annexation.
A bill providing for the separation
passed both houses of the Forty ninth
congress, but failed to receive the ap-
proval of President Cleveland
Ten Counties at Stake.
Other bills introduced in the same
session of congress, but which failed
of passage, provided for division of
the Idaho panhandle" between Wash
fngton and Montana, by annexing that
part Of it north of the 47th parallel
of latitude, including in the five pres
ent northermost counties of the state.
to the latter territory.
The present agitation provides for
of the 10 northern counties
of Idaho and part of eastern Wash
ington and their admission to the
union as The state of Lincoln. A
memorial to this effect was introduced
in the last session of the Washington
legislature but failed of passage.
