September IA, when his brother
in-law, the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills,

given by Henry Stevens, brother
of Mrs. Hall. When seen at his
cottage at Lavalette, Mr.. Stevens
gave a detailed account of his
movements from the eevning of
September IA to the evening of
September 16. He declared that he
was fishing on the beach in front
of his home at the time the mur-

mitted, and produced what APP
peared to be an almost perfect
alibi by naming the persons with
whom he had been until he went
to bed shortly after II o'clock.

REVENUE NOW
FIVE MILLIONS
FORESTRY DEPARTMENT REPORT
SHOWS SOURCES OF INCOME
FOR THE PAST YEAR.
TO IMPROVE FORESTRY RANGES.
Need Increased Area for Grazing Of
Stock in West.

Revenue amounting to $5.O6S.527 ~.
was paid into the United States treas
ury from the national forests. saws the.
forest service, United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, in its annual re-
port, made public Tuesday. Receipts
for the last quarter were far in ex-
cess of those for any preceding quar-
ter IN the administration of the ma
uonal forests except one in 1920.
! Nearly four and a half million Of
these receipts are derived from the
use of timber and forage, the remain
der for the use of land including wat
er power sites.
Income producing business on the
national forests showed remarkable
stability, the report continues, in view
of the depressed or uncertain ccnd;-
tlons in the timber and live stock in
dustries of the west, which afford the
principal markets for national forest
products. The abnormally low output
OF WESTERN ssawmills which caused a
decrease in receipts from timber sales
for the preceding year continued until
the last quarter of the fiscal year 1922.
but for that quarter they exceeded
$500, 900 and for the entire year they
totaled $1,7S0, ,347.24 and were almost
identical with those of 1921.
Approximately % per cent of the
cattle and SO per cent of the sheep
in the IL western states are grazed
upon national forest ranges during
part or all of the year.
The grazing business of the forests
consequently reflects closely the con-
ditions in the live stock industry of
the west. which has be n passing
through one of the most severe finan.
cial depressions of it's history.
Twenty-Five per cent of all national
forest receipts are given to counties
in which I h ~ lie, to be used for
schools and roads
Nearly two million cattle and seven
million sheep, the statement continues,
found forage during 1921 on the ma
tional forests in addition to seventy
eight thousand horses, twenty-four
hundred swine and forty-four thou
sand goats In all, over thirty-seven
thousand grazing permits were issued
during the past year
The demand for national forest
range now fully equals and in many
places overtaxes the capacity of the
forests To provide for increased de-
mand, improve and protect existing
ranges, and secure utilization of new
areas large amount of Improvement
work must be undertaken by the gov
ernment. 1t is estimated that $780,
600 will be necessary fully to improve
the forest ranges
Projects have already been surveyed
on which construction can be begun
Immediately. involving an expenditure
of over S170,000. These projects con-
sist of boundary fences to prevent
trespass. division and drift fences to
control more adequately the distrihu-
tion and movement Of stock. water de-
veloDment. and poisonous plant Grad
ication. Such Improvement as these
are essential to the m s t effectiv.A
range management and to providing
for stable occupancy

Local Theatre Has Exceptional Line
OF Shows for Next Ten Days.

Under the management of w. L.
Casey the Amazon theatre has for
many months been offering many
special attractions to movie fans, but
for the holiday season Mr.. Casey has
outdone all previous efforts to bring
to his patrons the best shows of the
film world
A glance at the advertisement of
the Amazon theatre on the last page
of the Herald will convince any per-
son who has the least knowledge of
who's who" in filmdom that Manager
Casey has scheduled the very best
shows obtainable for the holiday
season and his efforts to give Bonners
Ferry the same high class shows that
are drawing crowds in Spokane and.
coast cities should be appreciated. The
fact that the Amazon is showing every
week some of the latest and best pic
lures is often commented on by Wis
itors and commercial travellers who
say that it is seldom they have the
opportunity to see all the good shows
in town of the size of Bonners
Ferry.

in charge of collecting the subscrip-
ton money was not commercial club
committee and no formal action was
taken. Individual members did, how
ever, express a willingness to help
in collecting the money.
There seems to be an impression
in some quarters" said President
King, of the Commercial club, that
this organization was responsible for
financing the Boy Scouts organiza-
ton. Our club did take an active part
in organizing the Bow Scouts. But
the financing OF the movement was
done by another organization"
DR.. Cornwall, scout executive
OF the Boundary-Bonner council, was
present and said he was outlining a
series of lectures to be given the
boys by local business, professional
and tradesmen.
We have number of boys now"
said DR.. Cornwall, who have passed
their first class Scout tests and are
eligible for merit badges. These
badges are awarded for certain de-
gree of progress in some art, vocation
or line of research. The lectures /
am planning will give the bows a
chance TO learn something on the va
rious subjects treated and put them
in line for merit badges"
DR.. Cornwall passed out cards to
the club members asking them to
designate the subjects on which they
would lecture. The response was
gratifying to Dr. Cornwall and he
plans to announce his schedule of lee
lures In a short time.

SCHOOL CHILDREN WIN CANDY
in CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE RACE

Boundary county's quota for the
sale of Christmas seals is $500. The
sale of seals comes to an end Christ
mas day and Mrs. II. J. Mccoy, who is
in charge of the city sales, states that
she believes the quota will be reached.
Thus far over 1925 worth of seals
have been sold in Bonners Ferry. The
reports from the rural districts will
not be received until after Christmas.
The children of the Bonners Ferry
schools and the students of the high
school did good work in the seal sell
ing campaign the past week The
high school students sold $3.50 worth
of seals; the southside grade pupils
sold $b9.62 worth and the pupils of
the northside grade school sold seals
TO the value of $3.50.
In the contest among the grade pu-
pills. of Independent School District
No. 4 to see which room could sell
the most Christmas seals, Miss No
lan's room turned in S12.73 and Miss
McLaughlin's room turned in S12.56.
The contest was so close that Mrs.
Mccoy decided that a box of candy
should be given each room.
In the contest among the grade
pupils OF Independent School District
No. ID the pupils of Miss Gesellchen
and Mrs. Tritt were so nearly tied
that it was decided to give the box of
candy 10 both rooms. The candy used
for the prizes was donated bv the
merchants Of Bonners Ferry. who.
states Mrs. Mccoy. have been mos'
generous in helping the sale OF Christ
Insses seals
The sale of seals at the local post
office has not been as great as was
anticipated. Those in charge of the
sale Of the seals are hoping that the
next few davs will see more generous
huving in order that the full quota for
this county may be sold.

Postmaster Wiley and his assistants
are working early and late to take
care of the Christmas mail. Their
work has been greatly handicapped
by the irregularity of mail train serv-
ice. Owing to the recent snow storms
in all parts of the country the trains
have all e e n running far behind

WHAT DOES 1T TAKE?

1t appears that some of our county officials and their
editor of the Poplar Standard, the only county paper&hat
is with the gang, are one hundred per cent proof against
shock. That is, so far as county affairs are concerned.
The Standard comes out with the statement that there
were no startling revelations in the report Of the state
examiner. What does it take to startle these people? Is
it a commonplace thing for a county three years old to be
million dollars in debt? Isl a common business practice
to refund interest money because the payor is hard pres
sed? Is it no crime for the commissioners to violate the
law by paying warrants out of their registered order?
Would a business man hold 500, 900 worth of unsecured
cashiers checks in his office for three months? Should
a f%avorite bank have a deposit of county money amount
ing to over $87 900 when according to law it is entitled to
a little over $4,000? Is it good business to accept tax
money and not give the taxpayer credit on the books?
What corporation would let contracts amounting to many
thousands of dollars without at least getting prices from
more than one concern? Is it businessike to keep public
records in such condition that they cannot be audited?
Is it not startling that it should be necessary for the state
examiners office to say in its report: we wish to call your
attention to the many Irregularities and infractions of the
law that exists and have existed in the past without any
great effort being made toward improvement
These are but a few of the items mentioned in the State
Examiners report that the Standard says are not startling.
In the name of all that is good, what would it take to
startle these Pharaoh hearted individuals? Would any
thing short of cold blooded murded make an impression
on their scared consciences?
The rank and file of the voters of the county were
startled beyond belief when given an opportunity to read
the examiners report and they will see to it next Tuesday
that the demands in that report are complied with.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-08-24

this gang could be asked for than
their efforts to suppress the State
Examiners report, made last spring
and for months in the possession. of
the County Board and the County
Attorney. This legally authorized
report belongs to the people of the
county and should be in the records
of the county, but is it there? This
report instructs the board to read
the report to the county force, but
has it been read? The County At
torney is instructed by the report to
recover from the board the 1912 of
the county's money they gave away
to the bank at Mondak, but has he
done it?
This examiners extensive state
ment shown only the more glaring
of the costly misdeeds of the admin
i~stration and its steerers and only
such as can be seer on the face of
the records, but it shows enough to
prove how desperate is the need of
the peoples coming to the rescue of
their interests. The report, made
and guaranteed true by the authority
of the government, has been put be-
fore the voters and taxpayers. Not
by the county officials, nor through
the subsidized official newspaper. Not
in a thousand years; those function
aries have done their prettiest to
keep it dark until they could again
slip by the ballot box barrier. The
report was published and circulated
by private citizens of the county
banded together as a housekeeping
1t might very properly have
been secured and circulated by the
Roosevelt County Taxpayers Asso-
but that body's officials APP
pear not to be awake to the situation.
Voters should not be misled by the
PLAUSIBLE propaganda of desperate
gangsters. They have been found
out and cornered. They are fright
ened but r~esourceful and in possess
on of the fort and the implements
IF war. They will seek to confuse
you and play on your prejudices, but
10 not lose sight of the main issue
that is what effects your interests
md the public's.
This is not a fight for jobs. It is
lot a fight between individuals. 1t
5 not an effort to reek revenge. This
oattle of 1922 is a struggle FOR
lean, honest, representative govern
- ATlTCn 1 -
,rnment. A battle for economy and
justice. A battle against
privileges and perverted \
{
Enlist now in the forces of RIGHT. {
Be on the battlefield next Tuesday. I

interests demand it.

candidate for County Commissioner.
Many candidates were considered, J.
H. Coffey first of all, and then w. L.
Young was selected because he was
most acceptable, both ends of the
county considered. There is no per-
sona1 fight on Mr.. Coffey. In my
opinion the issue is between Young
and Patch with Young leading with
a good margin if he gets the home
vote. Therefore a vote for Coffey is
half a vote for Patch. Young is
capable and dependable. Vote for
him without reference to personal
tiles as a service to this part of the
county, which needs and is entitled
to a member Of the board. Vote the
"Clean House" ticket in the name of
justice and decency.
The gangsters, having no logical
or honest defense to make, are up to
their old game of splitting our forces
by spreading the seed of dissent=we
all know what they are saying. They
tell you this one or that n is dis
loyal to the cause; they cite the acts
of one or two individuals as repre-
%senting the whole town. Don't be-
lieve these lies. If in doubt seek the
truth from the friends of the town,
not its enemies.
Pat Macy is the friend of the rail-
roader. Sure he is, he needs their
votes. never needed them so badly
before. He did the railroad men a
good turn; it was easy to do and the
.opportune time to do it. He had
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. Very clever.
John Anderson is you friend, not
for votes but for principle. John
Anderson, running on the farmer
labor ticket two years ago was fair
ly elected as county commissioner
and I understand how it was that
votes hat would have placed him in
cast in the second ward of this
city, were not counted for him. And
I understand how it was that in the
election contest that followed, the
ballot box containing these votes was
not produced by Macy and the other
officials. Anderson lost out, cheat
ed out of the office, and it has cost the
county dearly since. John Anderson
is a mar who lives by his labor, not
by politics. He is a genuine friend
of the laborer and the farmer and is
the type of man who stands for fair
ness to all and pernicious privileges
to none. Vote for John Anderson,
friend, and the ticket he is
Vote for a Clean House, for
efficiency and businelike economy in
our county buiness. Intelligent, fair
voting is the highest duty of
citizenship.
I appeal to all but especially to
he producing classes because l feel
rat / belong viht them, and because
ny heart is with them in their strug-
lie for a fair deal in the battle Of
ife.
