# US Pacific time, represented by Los Angeles
#
# California, northern Idaho (Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Clearwater,
# Idaho, Kootenai, Latah, Lewis, Nez Perce, and Shoshone counties,
# and the northern three-quarters of Idaho county),
# most of Nevada, most of Oregon, and Washington

"northern Idaho" refers to that part of the state of Idaho listed within 
the parentheses.  Within the parentheses, "Idaho" refers to Idaho City. 
  So I suppose the "bug" is that it should say "Idaho City".
