OLD PIONEER GONE
c. West Wood Owned Land Now
OCCupiedby RathdTum.

Charles West Wood, once own-
er of land on which part of Rath-
drum now stands, died last Sunday
at Standpoint, at the age Of So
years. His body was brought here
Tuesday afternoon for burial in
Pine Grove cemetery.
In the JOS Wood acquired land
here variously stated to have; been
I7o to 40 acres, part OF which
became the townsitc. The town
was named Westwood in his honor
being later changed to Rathdrum.
His name, however, is perpetual
ed in two additions, the first Of
which is that part of the business
section lying between First street
and the Northern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Wood was a familiar figure
in the towns early history. Be-
sides the farm on which he and his
family resided, he once owned a
blacksmith shop in town, also a
livery barn which he sold TO VIII.
Clcland. He entered the dray bus
mess which he sold in 1905, when
he closed out the last of his inter-
ests here and moved to Laclede.
Recently he had lived at Sand
point and was frequently employed
there to oversee road work and
bridge construction.
Old timers describe him as a
man OF more than ordinary inteili-
gence and good business ability,
but he was free spcnder, gradual:
ly lost his property and old age
found him in destitute circum-
stances. es
According to the History Of
North Idaho, Mr.. Wood was born
May "A, I843, in Ogdensburg, n.
Y. He came west and drove stage
in Montana from 1868 to 1871,
then rode pony express between
Walla WaIla and Missoula untsi
1875. lie then turned his atten-
ton TO buying horses aud slfccp-on
the Touchet river and bringing
them to the Spokane valley. II
was at this time that he bought
a farm where the town of Ratb-
drum was afterwards established.
He plated part Of the land aud
sold it to settlers.
Mr.. Wood was married in 1873.
His wife was Mary K, daughter
of Frederic Post, the founder ct
Post Falls. She died in 1881. One
son survives, James M Wood OF
Kinik, Alaska.

"No successful big business in
stitution is conducted without a
careful budget" stated Governor
c. c. Moore recently. "The state
of Idaho with valuations of nearly
a half billion dollars, with expen-
ditures for government, education,
roads and other necessities
amounting to approximately four
million dollars per biennium, must
in my opinion budget its funds re-
ceivable and not take on great
burdens to the taxpayers which
the valuation of the state cannot
support.
"History tells us that the great
revolutions of the world have been
caused primarily by excessive
burdens of taxation to support top
heavy governments in luxury.
Excessive taxation soon becomes
conhscation and the expense of
government should be held down
in proportion to the citizens
ability to pay. The budget bureau
will aid us immensely in this
respect in conducting the largest
business in the state"

Goebel has been hitting the

further sacrifices on the altar to
Luis Angelo Firpo's reputation. He
has accepted a bout in Havana with
Firpo in place of Joe White of New
Orleans. who was disallowed the
match because a welterweight spar
ring partner knocked him out twice
in two rounds in Havana Tuesday.
in an official workout before the
Havana boxing commission.
The elimination of White as being
too soft put 1t up to the Havana
promoters to find a man who would
be soft enough to take quick dive
and yet not too soft to qualify. Her.
man is the ideal man because he once
lasted five rounds against Firpo in
Brooklyn, finally cavins in from the
effects of a smash on the lower YER
te.5tac.
The sacrifice is to take place Sun
day in Havana.

Milton Realizes His
Ambition As His Car
Flashes Across Line


ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 30.-Back
in 1903 16-year- st. Paul boy
with a penchant for automobiles,
saw the first indianapolis Speed
way classic race, and as the win
ner flashed over the line, turned
to his brother and two youthful
pals and said: "I'll win this race
some day."
His prophesy came true in 1921,
when Tommy Milton, grown from
the youthful spectator to a famous
automobile racer, won the Indian
apolis classic. His second victory
today in the same event was more
than even his ambitious vision
foretold.
30 1t was an adventurous trip the
youthful Milton and his three
companions made to indianapolis
in 1909. There were parental OBJ
jections, so in the dead of night
the four pushed the family run
about from its shed, tackled an
extra seat on the rear and jour-
neyed with various mishaps to
indianapolis, arriving there the
day of the race.
