Local bulletin from the Ceur d Alene Evening Press notes readers about a Bat or reporter item. The fragmentary text mentions a publication noting public notices and a press reference, with no clear event or names.
The article discusses a political clash in Kootenai County over moving the county seat from Westwood to Rathdrum or Coeur d Alene. It cites a deed clause and claims about land value and governance, arguing the move is being pushed to influence voters and mislead the public.
Republican treasurer George Sheldon heads a network of 21 corporations and trusts cited by the Democratic National Committee. The piece links Sheldon to Wall Street lawyers and major concerns, including the Manasas Sanat Company, Harriman interests, and the Standard Oil empire, alleging shifts of funds and influence in the Taft Bryan contest.
A list of county officials appears amid curious notes about postage stamp gum. The piece includes names such as Fred M. Wonnacott and Nicodemus D. Whaneth, with Emma A. Rauch and Charles J. Kinsolving among others. An odd aside describes stamp gum made from sweet potatoes processed at a government bureau and hidden piping systems. The writeup ends with a nod to The New York Telegram and The Pros Publishing Co.
Idaho law requires all residents to register to vote. Four Coeur d Alene precincts list registrar names and polling sites including J B Keller at the Furniture store, H M Harrington at Hotel Idaho, S A Varcum at 1020 Becond Street, and H B Matthews at 636 Seventh Street. Registrars operate Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm and evenings 7 to 9. The County Seat Removal club urges all Coeur d'Alene City residents to register.
