Another article, for which we found
steady demand among our neighbors,
was the snow-shovel. For a time we
had poor success with these shoyels. but
at last hit upon the following plan,
which proved reasonably successful.
For the handles we bought hoe-handles
We made the blade OF the shovel of half
inch white-wood, in sizes TO suit the pur-
chasers. One end OF the blade was
planned of to an edge, and protected by a
piece OF sheet iron folded over it and
firmly riveted.
At the back Of the blade we fastened
piece OF inch stuff with screws from
beneath, and bored hole obliquely
through it to admit the handle. Then
we sawed of the lower end OF the handle
at the proper angle, and, passing it
through the hole in the inch board, at

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Is, 1891
The Bonner Eoxasiso Company.

Mr., E, E, Coy, of the Bonner
Townsite Co., paid the HERALD Of
flee a very pleasant call last
Wednesday evening, Mr., Coy was
full of enthusiasm over the enter
prise and talked confidently Of the
success of the proposition. He left
for Spokane Thursday morning
with Richard Fry, the present
owner of the townsite. They go to
meet other members Of the syndi-
cate and representatives Of Presi-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern,
and expect to close the deal with
the Great Northern people today.
The deal between Mr., Fry and the
Coy syndicate was made some time
ago, and still stands, but it was de-
sired to have the G. n. interested
in the town, and twas to give time
for these negotiations, that the mat
tiers pertaining to the townsite have
been allowed to rest for several
weeks. We are at libenty to say
that satisfactory terms have been
arranged between the syndicate and
the railway.
Bonner, the coming city of north
Idaho, will start out under bright
auspices, Besides the backing OF
the Great Northern it will have a
millionaire syndicate behind it.
What money can do to make it a
city will be forthcoming. Its adj
yantages as commercial center
have been pointed out by the HER
AID on numerous occasions, and we
advise our friends that when finally

FOR LAW AND ORDER.
IN Important Meeting Held Yesterday
for that Object,


The leading and most reputable
citizens Of Kootenai held public
meeting Yesterday and took action
that should have been taken months
ago. This town has practically
been at the mercy Of lawleSs char
acters ever since it began to be a
town. We have had no official
protection. Whether it was ignor-
ance, inability or malfeasance we
sAall not charge, but there could
not have been more suhservient
tool to the crooks than we have had.
The meeting was held in the
Minnesota Mercantile Co.'S store,
Mr.. n. E. Solomon acting as chair
man. The first act Of the meeting
was to draw up a petition and pre-
sent it to f. e, Cole asking him to
appoint special constables to clear
the town Of the FOUNDERS and 9TH
ers without visable means of sup
port. The petition was as follows:
To f. E. Cole, esq, justice of the
peace of Kootenai, Kootenai county,
Idaho: The undersigned, citizens
and taxpayers of the town of Koo-
tepai, beg respectfully to call your
attention to a number of persons in
our midst by name unknown but
whose persons are known to us,
who have no ostensible means of
livelihood and who we think are
committing daily and nightly dep
relations, taking place in our midst,
and beg of you to appoint two spe-
cial constables to notify these par
ties to leave the town forthwith,
otherwise to be dealt with according
to law.
All Of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
Joe Warren and Ellsworth Went
zell were appointed,
The next business was to draw
up petition to Sheriff Mcclure
asking for the removal of Hunter
as deputy sheriff and the appoint
ment Of Joe Warren in his place.
4
The following is the petition;
To w. J. Mcclure, sheriff of Koo-
tenai county: We, the undersigned,
citizens of the town of Kootenai,
beg respectfully to call your atten-
ton to the laWless state of affairs
that exists in our town. No night
or day passes without some depre-
dation being committed Your
present deputy, Thos. Hunter, has
made complete failure Of the en-
forcement Of the law, and we re-
spectfully request that you appoint
j. F. Warren in his place at once.
All Of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
The above petition was signed by
all those at the meeting, and many
other signatures were procured on
the street.
A subscription list was opened
and the citizens signed literally to
raise a sum Of money to carry on
the work.
The people have done well. The
gang will not make a big haul to-
night as they expected. There will
be no farce about their going this
time
Quite a number of the gang has
already pulled their freight, and
Officers Joe Warren and Ellsworth
Wentzell are rapidly wedding out the
unpronouncable named creatures.
1t is possible that a few may tarry
awhile, but if they do they will be
promptly arrested, as will also those
who return,
The 1ivision May be Moved.

More Contracts Let.

The contract for the construction
of the transcontinental line of the
Great Northern railroad from the
sound to the summit Of the Cas-
.cade mountains has been let to
Shepard, Henry & Co., and work is
to begin so soon as men and outfit
can be put on the ground. This
section is so miles long and ex-
tends from Everett, at the mouth of
the Snohomish river, UP the left
banks of that stream, of the Sky
komish main stream and Of the
south fork Of Skykomish main
stream to Stevens pass. 1t includes
all work on the western side Of the
mountains as far as the main tpn-
mel at Summit. AS the contractors
already have their outfit on the
sound, having just completed the
Seattle and Montana line, there will
be no delay in placing it on the
line and beginning of operations.
The first thing to be done will be
TO build good corduroy roads.
When that is done, construction
will begin along the whole line and
will be pushed vigorously. This
section is to be finished by the end
Of 1892,
The road will run along broad,
level bottom lands through the
iSnohomish and lower Skykomish
valleys. Along the Skykomish it
will traverse a belt Of dense, heavy
timber, involving expensive clear
ing. The grading will be princi-
pally earthwork along the western
end, but in the mountains there
will be considerable heavy rock cut
ting and tunneling, The principal
tunnel, will be nearly. if not
quite, two miles long, and will
probably be bored under separate
contract. This work will give en-
ployment to between 1000 and
5000 men, and will involve an ex-
penditure of about 81 100000.

THE CURIOUS FAMILY CONTEST IN
BoTETOURr COUNTY.

chanan e-Repubiican Nominations
IN Roanoke and southampton.

fCorrcspondcnce Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
BUCHANAN, October 1.-THE political
situation in this county (BotetourD is q
very complex one. The issue is on the re-
moval Of the courthouse from its present
location at Fincastle to Buchanan, and
each section has nominated a candidate
who will be supported by members of both
parties. as the fight is local one. Both
candidates are sterling Democrats and Al
lance men. so the county will surely send
Democrat to tho House this term, as
there is no Republican nominee.
STRONG FEELING.
The courthouse question has given rise
to great deal of slrife already. and speak
ers of both sides are stumplng the county
vigorously Buchanan claims that 1T would
be more accessible to majority OF the
citizens of the county. and offers court
house free of all cost 70 the county; while
Fincastle is opposed to the move, as 1T
would prove a material setback 20 the
place, removed as it is from the railroad,
and that is one of Buchanan's strong argu-
ments-its inaccessibility.
WILL DE REBUILT.
The Franklin Brass Company's shops,
which were entirely destroyed by fire in
September, will he rebuilt at once, the con-
tract having been let 20 the Withrow Lum-
bur Company. the buildings to be finished
by 18th of December. In the mean while
the company has placed number of new

building will be more commodious and
