Although Bonner county has
been in existence only two months
there have been 12 suits for di
vorce filed with the clerk of the
district court. During the same
time only 6 marriage liceuses
have been issued.—Idaho Post,
The United States is the richest
nation in the world, exceeding
Great Britain by almost forty
five thousand million dollars.
The latest estimate of the wealth
of the United States sets the fig
ure at one hundred thousand
million dollars. Great Britain is
next with fifty-eight thousand
two hundred million.
The total consumption of coal in
the world is considerably over fifty
thousand tons an hour. Of this
great quantity about twelve thou
sand five hundred tons is required
to heat the boilers of stationary,
marine, and railroad engines. The
production of pig iron consumes
over five thousand tons an hour.
The average hourly consumption cf
coal in households is considered to
be about ten thousand tons.
The people of Iceland are so
honest that there are neither
prisons nor police in thecountry.
It is said that there have been
only two thefts in one thousand
years. One of these was that of
a native who was detected steal
ing sheep; but as he had done so
to supply his family who were
suffering for want of food, he was
not punished, the shame attach
ed to his condition being deemed
sufficient degradation. The oth
er was by a German who stole
seventeen sheep, and as he was
in comfortable circumstances he
was sentenced to sell all of his
property, restore the value of
what he had stolen, and leave
the country or be executed. He
left. There are courts of justice;
but it is not an inviting field of
operations for lawyers.
So many school children have
been found with defective eyesight
that the school committees ofsever
al cities have considered furnishing
eyeglasses free. It is a question
how far government should go in
supplying citizens with the neces
sary things in life. Most Ameri
can parents will prefer to pay the
oculist. In many cities are free
dispensaries where poor drillten
can he treated and and receive free
prescriptions for glasses. Parents
should be warned against incom
petent oculists who take' advantage
of the reports of the boards of edu
cation on the matter of eyesight in
the echools, and try to get business
for themselves by exaggerated
warnings to the "parents of school
children threatened with blindness."
Citizens of Spokane propose that
adjacent portions of Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon be reassembled
into a new state to be called Lin
coln. Advocates of the plan main
tain that this division is the natur
al one, with respect to the geo
graphic formation, and also to the
interests and occupations of the
people. Strong opposition comes
naturally from people in parts of
the three states not included in the
proposed new state. The idea is
doubly interesting at present when
the feeling for state lines is said to
be dissolving all over the country;
it indicates that the sense of the
state unit is very strong, and that
it is a matter of deep importance to
a man whether he lives in Oregon
or in "Lincoln."
Seattle, May 29.—The ground
breaking day of the Alaska-Yu
kon-Paeific Exposition, Satur
day, June 1, will be celebrated
with much pomp and oratory.
From early in the morning until
late at night officers and trustees
of the great fair will be kept busy
attending to the duties that will
fall upon them in making the
day one to be long remembered
in the history of the Pacific
Northwest. Governor Mead has
issued a proclamation calling the
people's attention to the import
ance of the celebration and ask
ing them from now on to lend
their aid in making the exposi
tion a success. It will practically
be a holiday in Seattle as the
people of the city have declared
their intention to make it a gala
occasion. The program provides
for many interesting features. A
big military parade will be held
in the city early in the afternoon
and at night a banquet will be
tendered to Hon. John Barrett,
who will represent President
Roosevelt at the ceremonies, by
the officers and trustees of the
exposition. The exercises on the
grounds will be held in the natur
al amphitheatre which is one of
Nature's contributions to the ex
position site. The parade will be
participated in by the United
States regulars from Fort Law
ton, the Washington National
Guard, marines from Bremerton
Navy Yard and the High Schooi
cadets. President J. E. Chilberg,
after the addresses of the other
speakers will, with appropriate
remarks, turn the first spadeful
of dirt which will inaugurate work
on the exposition. Many visit
ors are expected from surround
ing cities and many prominent
men of the Pacific West have sig
nified their intention to be pres
ent.

Must Invent New Brand.
State Auditor Bragaw who is
custodian and recorder for the
marks and brands of livestock,
says that it will soon be neces
sary for Idaho stock men to build
extensions on their stock in or
der toaccommodate their brands
or begin to invent different
brands from the ones already
filed.
There are now 3,700 live stock
brands filed in his office, brands
covering almost every portion of
the anatomy. But with so many
brands, and all the stockmen
seeking for brands that can be
easily made and easily described,
the limit is being reached. There
are six horse brands of the letter
"H," located on different parts
of the horse—neck, shoulder, leg,
side, ear and wherever a brand
will stay on.
