The Lewiston Teller notes a rise in individual deposits in U S national banks from $2.964 billion in Oct 1901 to $3.153 billion in Nov 1902, an $188 million gain. Since Republicans returned to power six years ago deposits have nearly doubled, rising by over $1.513 billion, a fact the piece frames as favorable to the public.
Ambitious townsite promoters push county division as a solution to taxation and poor facilities. Idaho counties lack adequate courthouses jails and poor farms and the burden of taxation remains high. The piece argues divisions would worsen costs, weaken counties, and burden taxpayers with more buildings and officials.
The forthcoming legislature should consider creating a permanent fund for maintaining the state's two normal schools. Current laws require ongoing support, but a dedicated endowment would secure stability and continuity for teacher training.
Albion Times argues for a dedicated normal school fund via a half mill property tax. It notes bonded debt of Lewiston and Albion normals at 103500, sinking via land sale proceeds, and proposes a permanent fund to shield Normal Schools from political control while growing with state wealth.

Yost, and many others, with Boise, Pocatello, Coeur d’Alene, Moscow, Salmon City, and more as their locales. It notes a recent state action in Kootenai county disposing of school land by sections and hints at unsettled land and resource matters.
Fragmentary report notes prosperity in a western town with the post discontinued yet resources being developed. Since 1902 new buildings totaled 125,980 dollars and about 300 residents were added, reflecting growth. The piece mentions a misused word tied to a lunch spread.
