Charles L. Heitman Again Sweeps in the Re
publican Primaries of Kootenai County.
The Republican primaries were
held in Kootenai county last Mon
day, and Charles L. Heitman has
again swept the political field. His
majority is not so large as in
former years, but is safe, and re -1
markable, considering the treir.en
dons fight that has been made
against him, and sustains his rep-!
utation as to political generalship.
He met with loss along the line
of the Spokane & International,
That corporation has it in for Mr.
Heitman because he was attorney
for the ranchers, in the condemna
tion cases. They voted hundreds
of men in Bonners Ferry, Naples,
Elmira, Colburn and Sandpoint,
and those places went for Judge
Morgan.
The convention is composed ofj
109 delegates, of which it appears
that Morgan has 36 delegates as
against 73 for Dunn, for distiict
judge.
Of the larger precinct?, Morgan
carried Bonners Ferry 6 votes;
Harrison, 8 votes; Sandpoint, 10
votes.
Dunn carried Coeur d' Alene, 16
votes; Hathdrum, 10 votes; Post
Falls, 3 votes; St. Maries. 3- votes;
Hope, 3 voUs; Priest River, 3 votes;
Clarks Fork, 2 votes; Athol, 3
votes.
BONNERS KERRY RESULT
The most exciting political con
test in the history of Bonners Ferry
took place last Monday when the
Republican primary was held.
There was 371 votes poled, and
the faction headed by Judge Mor
gan carried the day by an average
of 9 votes.
The determining factor in the
contest was the Spokane & Inter
national railway. Special trains
were run over the line and all

most of whom succeeded in voting,

officers of the primary. Notwith
standing the hand the railroad
company took in the contest, the
result was very close, indicating
the strenuosity of the contest on
both sides.
The victors are supposed to be
pleased that they won, while the
defeated candidates are pleased to
have received such a large vote
from actual residents. Both sides
theniore have cause for feeling
good.

It would be impossible for the
Herald to describe the preliminary
scenes without creating offense,
and as our mission as a newspaper
is to assist in the upbuilding of the
town rather than to create dissen
(ion?, we draw the veil of charity
over the proceedings.
There was six delegates to elect
and there being two tickets in the

Continental Starts Again
The Herald learns from several
sources that the Turrish interests
in the Continental mine intend
starting operations again on that
property. They were visitors to
the property recently and are
making preparations to resume
operations. This great property
is sure to be handled on an ex
tensive scale sometime, and it
would seem that it had gone
through all the crude stages.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Senator ' Heyburn was ill boring
several weeks of the session of con
gress just closed, he unde a record
of which he can well he proud. In
stead of harping continually about
j ll»e "purity of homes" in Idaho, he
was working for the passage of
measures that would be of benefit to
the people. His efforts in behalf of
| tiro pure food bill, w hich is now a
law, are to be heartly commended.

Presbyterian Church.
The remodeling of the Presbyter
ian Church has been completed,
and the church will be reopened
on the coming Sabbath. There
will be services both morning and
evening. Preaching at 10:30 a. in.
Sunday School at 11:30. Endeavor
Society will meet in the lecture
room at 7 p. m. Preaching service
at 8 p. m. Special music at each
service.
Nearly #1,000 worth of improve
ments have been made on the
building and yet the finances have
been so managed as to leave the
church out of debt. All the im
provements have been provided for
except the electric light fixtures.
No special collections will be taken
on the coming Sabbath but the
usual offerings will be taken and
all the money received will be ap
plied to electric light bill.
The public is invited to come
and see the church which their
assistance has made possible. The
old building has been so transform
ed that one would not recognize
it. To appreciate the amount of
work done one must visit the
church. The present design is
beautiful indeed.
Rev. and Mrs. Spicer will finish
their work and leave for Spokane
the early part of next week. It
is hoped that the pulpit will be
supplied by a regular pastor in the
near future.
The members of the church wish
us to extend to the public their
hearty thanks for the generous
assistance rendered them in the
improvements just completed.
John F. Stowe's big pavilion
•'Uncle Tom's Cabin" Company,
the largest and best in the world,
will appear for one night only at
Bonners Ferry Wednesday July 18,
under a water-proof tent with a
seating capacity of two thousand,
with the largest stage ever known
under one tent, with abundance of
special scenery. This should be
a welcome announcement to the
amusement public that loves this
charming old drama. It is a well
known fact that Stowe's company
is one of the best that has ever
presented this great play, and this
summer season will hut add to its
popularity with young and old,
for it is even better than what it
has been, if such a thing could be
possible to so good a company.
The musieial part of the program
has been greatly increased, with
a military band of twenty solo art
ists and an operatic orchestra of
ten pieces, Watch for the noon
day concert and enjoy a musical
treat. Prices 25 and 35 cents.
Morgan Reversed
In reversing Judge Morgan, in
the case against the Coeur d' Alene
mine owners, brought by certain
ranchers, the court said:
"It is earnestly argued by counsel
for respondents that if this court
should hold that there is error in
sustaining the demurrer to the com
ptants, or either of them, it would
result in 'the depopulation of Sho
shone county, the abandonment of
all mining and milling therein, and
the consequent bankruptcy of the
inhabitants.'
Deploreable as this might bo—if
true—it furnishes no excuse for the
court to shirk its responsibilities
in disposing of the questions before
us on the merits. The law is no re
specter of persons, corporation? or
individuals, and in its creation and
the enforcement reaches out and
protects the lone settler in his
rights, let them be ever so meager
as well as the capitalist, the
corporation or individual with its
or his millions."
"Under the provisions of the con
stitution," further says the opinion
"private property can not be taken
for public use or for corporations
without just compensation being
first made to the owner except by
consent. The courts, and it never
was intended to be other wise un
derstood, are not masons to chisel
away vested rights of private indi
viduals however humble or obscure
the owner for the benefit of the
public or great corporations.
— Sheriff Edwin Doust i? in
town today. Ho was unable to
reach Naples for the primary
but says Mike Conroy, the del
egate, is for Dunn.
Final Election Returns.
Complete returns received at this
office show that at the primary
election last Monday, the Heitman
Dunn faction elected 73 delegates
in the county, as against 36 for the
Morgan faction. These are figures
as announced by Chairman licit
man. This result gives the lleit
man-Dunn faction so great a ma
jority that there remains no possi
bility of changing the result.
The action of the convention can
be forecasted in a number of in
stances. Mr. Dunn will be nomi
nated District Judge; C. H. Mc
Donald, sheriff; .1. C. Shoemaker,
treasurer; McRae, probate judge;
Adams, assessor; the delegation to
the state convention will support
Governor Gooding and Congress
man French for renomination. .1.
C. Shoemaker of Coeur d' Alene
will likely be selected for chairman
of the county committee.
—The members of the board of
county commissioners will be in
Bonhers Ferry next Wednesday.
