Judge Chambers has letter from
Congressman Sweet asking for all
necessary data in regard to the
Kootenai river as regards naviga-
ton. Mr.. Sweet will ask for an
appropriation to remove the OBJ
stacles in the way Of navigation. 1t
is said by those who understand
the subject that few thousand dol
lars expended in removing logs and
bars would make the river much
better. The Canadian authorities
propose to get an appropriation
from parliament to remove the bar
at the mouth of the river.
There is nothing new in the real
estate line this week. No deals
have yet been made. Of the oper-
alton Of the Coy syndicate the pub
lie is not informed, but it is known
that Mr.. E. E. Coy confidently ex-
poets to complete the deal.
Capt. William Eaton, of the new
steamer Alton, is fondly looking for
ward to the day when he can steam
his feet craft up and down the
Kootenai waters.
Arthur Baines is clerking in
William Eaton's store. It's real
mean to speak of it, but Arthur
tries to monopolize the business OF
waiting on the lady customers.
Smiths Hotel, in Eatonville, fills
a long-felt want. 1t is really a

devolves, is a genial hostess. We
are glad to see Sam having a good
patronage.
w. H. Smith is engaged in sur
veying a mining claim for William
Keller. The claim takes in 20
acres of a 40 acre tract on the north
side of the river upon which script
was placed by G. B. Wright and
others. Keller expects to get a
patent to his claim. There will be
litigation over the land. We would
not undertake to discuss the merits
of the controversy.

FROM B0RRER'S FERRY.
an Interesting Letter from the Future
Denver of North Idaho.
A Building Soon is on--A City of Beautiful and
Energetic Women--BusinesS Continues
Good and Promises to be Better
Local and Personal

Of the liveliest towns in north Idaho
this winter is Bonner's Ferry. The
writer visited the valley this week
and was surprised to note the prog
ress that had been made in the past
two months. The people are full
of enterprise, hope and ambition,
and have full faith in the PROPOSE
ton that they have struck the
promised land, The probabilities
are that they are not mistaken.
Quite a building boom has struck
the town this fall and a number Of
new business houses have been
opened up. The building is not
confined to any particular locality,
Eaton and Fry both enjoying quite
"a boom. In Eaton new town hall
is the latest building Of prominence
to be completed. A large number
of dwelling houses have been
erected. At Fry, in the vicinity
where the stores of Kinnear & Will
liams and H. w. Gates & Co. are
located, about fifteen or twenty new
buildings have gone up.
The citizens anticipate quite a
boom next spring, real estate or no
real estate deal. 1t is remarkable
what large number of business
men have an eye on Bonner's Ferry.
1t is good indication Of the conf
dence the people con the outside"
have in the place. Should the G..
N. lay the rails to Bonner's Ferry
early in the spring, as now seems
likely, the town will catch all the
travel, and no small share of the
trade, to the SLOGAN next spring. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 people will
go into British Columbia next year.
Ting people here are preparing
for merry Christmas. Two Christ
mas trees and a ball are arranged
for Those on the north side of the
river will have Christmas tree in
the public school building, and are
preparing for a very merry time.
On the same evening there will be
another tree in the new city hall
on the south side. The ball is to
take place Christmas night and
promises to be quite grand affair
1t is gotten up by the ladies of the
Ferry, and the money collected is
to go towards paying off the indebt-
edness on the hall. the building
is 24x50 feet, and quite a credit to
Bonner's. The lBdies have raised
the money to build it. 1t is only
Justice to say that enterprise, as
well as beauty, characterize the fail
sex Of the Kootenai valley.
