VISITS FORMER HOME
Daily journal Tells of Enterprise of
Former B0nners Ferry Citizen.

The following article appeared in
the Stephens Point, Wis, Daily Jour
nal, of March 26. Mr.. and Mrs. McIn-
tyre were called east the first of the
year by illnesses and deaths in their
families:
Mr.. and Mrs. A A. Mcintyre of
Spokane, Wash, were guests at Hotel
Jacobs Friday evening while en- route
to their home from Royalton, Wau-
paca county, where they spent three
weeks with Mr.. McIntyres mother
now 80 years of age, and who was in
very poor health but has nearly re-
covered.
Mr.. Mcintyre will be remembered
by many Journal readers as a former
local newspaper man, being interested
in the Press and Express, publications
which flourished for a brief time some
years ago and then ceased to exist.
Five years ago he established the
Kootenai Valley Times at Bonners
Ferry, Idaho. which was recently con-
solidated with the other paper in that
town. Mr.. Mcintyre decided to go
out of the newspaper business and
devote his whole attention to the Swift
May company of which he is presi-
dent. This company recently bought
a big business block at Spokane and
moved its plant from Bonners Ferry
1t manufactured dissected or "cut out"
maps for use in teaching geography
and has built up wonderful bust
ness. The concern now makes maps
of five western states. Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, Montana and Wyom-
ing, but will soon enlarge its terri
tory by going as far east as Indiana
and will also produce United States
maps The Swift company. which is
capitalized at 100000, also makes a
line of advertising novelties which
command ready sale"

new LAW in
EFFECT MAY 5

On May 5, 1921, the anti-tobacco
laws passed by the sixteenth session
of the state legislature will become
effective, it was announced at the of
flee of the state constabulary Friday
To clear up any misapprehensions as
to the working of the laws, f. NJ
Breshears, superintendent, made the
following statement:
Senate bill No. 1874 the anti-cigar-
cite bill which prohibited the impor-
tation of cigarettes into the state, was
signed by the governor but section
was repealed by senate bill No. 327
which was passed at the closing of
the session and approved by the gov
ernor Section of senate bill No
134, which amended section 1868 of the
Compiled Statutes. is a law and will
become effective so days after the ad-
journment of the legislature, which
will be May 5. This section defines
the violation of the tobacco law with
regard to minors and prescribes the
penalty therefor
Senate bill No. 327, which is the
final law, with respect to tobacco,
passed by the legislature and ap-
proved by the governor. permits the
importation of cigarettes into the
state but provides that all tobacco
dealers shall obtain an annual Ii
cense from the commissioner of law
enforcement at cost of $50. The
bill further provides that the license
fee for the year ending December 81
1921. will be $50. This means that all
tobacco dealers in the state of Idaho
must, after May 5, 1921 have a state
license to sell tobacco for the re-
mainder of the year.
"The bill further provides that each
dealer in the state must file with the
commissioner of law enforcement a
bond in the amount of $500 Violation
of any of the provisions of senate
bill No. 327 or of section 1868, as
amended by senate bill No. 1874, will
cause the dealer to forfeit his bond
to the state and his license shall be
void and no license will be issued to
that dealer for term of five years. >"
1t is estimated by the department
of law enforcement that some 5000
dealers in the state will be affected
by the law but it is also estimated
that only about 1000 of these will
pay the license fee of $50. Revenue
to the state from the issuance of Ii
censes to 1000 dealers would be one
hundred thousand dollars annually
and the amount of the bond from the
same number would be one million
dollars

klockmann To Go To Europe

A. Klockmann. president and general
manager of the Idaho Continental Min
ing Company, of Klockmann, Idaho,
has just returned from trip to New
York. He plans to leave soon for
Europe where he will spend several
months. He will visit his relatives in
Germany and will also make a tour
of England, France, Belgium, Holland
and Russia, to get firsthand informa-
tion as to conditions. While he is gone
Jos. Lancaster will be in charge of the
mine at Klockmann and will proceed
with development work.
1t is rumored that the Idaho-Conti-
mental Mining Company plans to start
a new tunnel at a point on level
with the camp buildings.
While in Europe Mr. Klockmann
may endeavor to induce number of
families to come to the United States
and locate in the Kootenai Valley.

this sum the Inland Empire road from
Kettle Falls to Springdale gets $685.
600, while State Road No. gets the
measly sum of $4,000 for the distance
from Davenport to Detillion bridge
not enough to grade the roadbed, let
alone surfacing any part of it,
1T is high time something was done
to remedy this condition, and the most
feasible way out is to accept northern
Idaho's invitation to join it in forming
a new state of Lincoln, secede from
the west coast and let that part OF
the state build its own roads. This is
the proper course to pursue, as it
would insure the spending of our road
funds in the section where they are
raised and not out on the coast"
While many papers are favorable to
the new state idea in the east there
are a few that do not like it. The
Pathfinder, of Washington, ID. c., says
1t is not fair proposition to eastern
states so much more populated than
western states on account of repre-
sentation in congress:
Congress is asked by the Idaho
state legislature to make a new state
out of the panhandle of Idaho with
perhaps a slice of the state of Wash
ington added to it. 1t is suggested
that the new state be named Lincoln.
"It is true that the panhandle of
Idaho makes an awkward stretch of
territory which is tributary to the state
of Washington rather than to he main
body of Idaho. But this will not be
found sufficient reason to justify the
creation of a new state. There are a
number of "panhandles" in the differ
ent states-including Oklahoma. Texas
Louisiana, Florida, West Virginia,
Michigan and husetts-but this
does not justify the re-drawing of the
map.
1t is simple thing to lay out new
state on paper but the practical diff
cu1ties involved are great. Then there
is always the political equation. A
new state can be carved out only at
the expense of the old states, and us
ually they are not anxious to be carved
up and lose part of their territory
population, wealth and political power
Each new state means two more mem
bers in the U. S. senate. 1t would not
be fair to the populous states to have
a lot of small new states created. New
York has as much population as 19 of
the smaller states. yet it has only As
votes in the electoral college, against
their so, and only two senators against
their 49, This is bad enough and con-
gress is not likely to make it worse
by cutting up any of the less populous
states; such a thing would be slap
at popular rule. There would be far
more sense in dividing New York,
Pennsylvania and the other populous
states"

Law Day Saturday

District Judge W. F. McNaughton,
of Coeur d'Alene, was here Saturday,
the regular claw day" for Boundary
county, and heard several demurrers
and arguments on questions of law.
Judge McNaughton states that he in
tends to keep the court calendars we'll
cleared in all counties of mis- jurisdic-
ton. 1t was to assist in keeping the
calendar cleared that the law days
were established. The first Saturday
in each month is law day In Boundary
airy county; Bonner county has the
second Saturday, Kootenai county the
third Saturday and Benewah county
the fourth Saturday of each month.
The attempt of our district judges
to hasten decisions in all matters in
litigation will be appreciated by every
one that has been compelled to go tc
court.

Another Reason To Vote Bonds

A. V. Holman, surveyor for the
Board of Underwriters of the Pa
cific coast, was here the first of
the week to make a re-survey
of the city with a view of re-
porting to his employers who
will soon revise the insurance
rates.
On learning that the city would
hold bond election on April 6
for the purpose of deciding
whether or not the Bonner Water
and Light Co. systems should be
purchased by Bonners Ferry, Mr.
Holman stated that he would de-
fer making his survey. He stated
that if the city should acquire
its own water system the Board
of Underwriters would reduce
the fire insurance rates for the
Town as the board had always
found fire protection facilities
better cared for under municipal
ownership than under private
ownership. Mr.. Holman will
therefore make the survey at a
later date when it is certain
whether or not Bonners Ferry
taxpayers desire to own their
own water system.
