THE KooTENAl RIVER BRIDGE.

1t is now evident that the people
of Bonner's Ferry have concluded
that the chance of getting the vo-
tiers of this county to assent to the
construction of a bridge at that
point over the Kootonai river, that
would cost the sum of $45, 800, is
out of the question; and for fear
that the defeat of the proposition
wonld mean no bridge at all, at
least for long time, they have
wisely concluded to work for a
modification of the matter so that
the amount asked from the county
will not exceed $4,000. This is a
sensible move on their part, for
they should have known from the
start that the taxpayers OF this
county would never consent to an
outlay of over $4,000 largely, yes
chiefly for the benefit of local
interests.
But $4,000 is not so terrible q
sum. and if the county really need:
a bridge at that place, and a sub
stantial and serviceable bridge car
be placed there for $4,000, the vot
ers are much more likely to favor
it. The suggestion Of the Herald
is good: that if the bridge is bull
the piers should be placed and o
sufficient strength to support (
steel top, if such a change SHOULD
at some future time be deemed
necessary.

1t is important that all the prin-
cipal highways of the county
should be improved and bridges
built where needed throughout the
county; but consent should never
be given to so exhaust the finances
of the county in making high
priced improvements in one locals
ity, that but little or nothing could
be done for needed improvements
in other parts.-News.
The HERALD quotes the above
with favor with single exception.
Boomers Ferry people" never
asked for "a $45,500 bridge OF
course they would take it if they
were offered it, as any other COM
munity would. But such sum
was never asked for nor expected.
This idea Of $45, 800 originated with
the county commissioners. They
had two bids before them. They
did not publish the amount of the
other bid. We understand that it
was away down below the $40, 800
bid. Why they accepted the high
priced bridge, the commissioners,
the contractors and teh Lord alone
probably know. The HERALD has
stated before that it thought there
was too much politics on the part of
the commissioners on the bride prop
osition. The friends of the bridge
are beginning to believe that they
have been jobbed. They believe
that $4,000 will give them good,
substantial, serviceable bridge.
They do not ask the expenditure
of three times this amount. If so,
they too say, let the bridge ques
ton drop.
We need bridge at Bonner's
Ferry. We wish to go before the
people with a fair, just, honorable
proposition, and we appeal to their
sense of justice in giving us this
much needed public improvement.

Hon. J. M. Wells, Columbian
Commissioner for Idaho, says that
probably the most direct benefit to
the state from the Columbian ex-
hibition will be derived from a
proper display of her mineral spec
linens, showing the undeveloped
and partially developed mineral
resources Of the state. He suggests
that every claim owner or prospec-
tor should furnish at least one good
specimen of his claim or prospect.
Companies having mines in opera
ton are expected to furnish a
special exhibit of their own, as
most of our mineral resources are
in the prospective state as yet.
Local mining men should endeavor
to obtain as fine specimens Of ore as
possible for exhibition. There is
no reason why a very fine exhibit
should not be prepared from the
Panhandle. We have the ore to
make it with.

PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
QUE MISERABLE NAL sERMos.

The way this part of the country
Is being treated by the government
in the way of handling mail is
shameful in the extreme.
The Great Northern railway has
been running regular passenger
trains over its western extension as
far as Spokane for more than a
month, and yet we still receive our
mail in the same old back-woods
style-by pony express, and only
three times a week at that
The recently built portion of the
Great Northern covers over 600
miles, along which, in valleys,
towns and villages, are fully fif-
teen thousand people and the num-
bar daily increasing with new
settlers. The majority of these
people get their mail about once a
week, notwithstanding that daily
trains pass through every one of
these settlements. We protest a.
gainst such neglect of our people
on the part of the government.
Our merchants along the line of
this railway, which runs near the
British line, are supplying many
of the mining districts and stock ran
ges on the Canadian side. To main
tain this traffic which builds up
our towns and industries, we should
have, and are entitled to, the as
sistance of the government in fur
nishing us better mail service.
The Kootenai lake mining coun-
try, in British Columbia, which
contains some 5000 population is
supplied chiefly from merchants
here. 1t takes just II hours for
goods to reach any of the mining
camps around this lake by steamer
from here. Yet if we wish to send
a letter by the U. S. mail, it takes
u days to get a reply. A register
ed letter to reach Nelson, B. c., only
$50 miles distant by steamer, must
go to Seattle, 400 miles west, thence
north to Vancouver, $50 miles, and
thence back over the c. P. R.
500 miles.
This same slow and tedius way
is complained Of all along the line.
1t is time that our Postal Depart
ment should at least give us some
attention.
With trains passing daily east
and west, the company anxious to
carry the mail, there is no reason
able excuse to delay a daily mail
service.

andsome, Mischievous and Sometimes
Deserving OF n Hempen Necktie.
The male hirt is usually handsome
man, who has no other object in life
than to entertain himself, and in this
capacity he makes a model host, for,
like the butterfly that fits from flower
to flower, slipping the sweets
from the lovely blossoms or
merely lighting an instant to
gracefully float on to the next one, so
this especial type of masculine perfidy
whiles away the long hours of his wife's
or sweetheart's absence, for we regret
to say that the greater firts are those
who have no right to pastime which is
at all times dangerous to the peace of
mind OF those women who know not
the ways of the creature and believe inn
plicitly every word he says. .. su
If the male flirt were q woman, the
Philadelphia Times thinks, he would
probably either end up by not marrying
at all or else wedding some broken
stick when all the worthy offers, like
the blossoms of spring, had faded away
! and left the poor butterfly only the
choice of q few half-withered dropping
autumn flowers, lacking sweetness or
beauty. Unfortunately for those silly
enough to trust him, the masculine but
terfiy does the wooing. He pleads ten
! derly, speaks volumes with his eyes if
he dare not put into word his thoughts
and leads every victim he meets to be-
lieve she is the only girl he ever loved,
when in all probability he has acted in
precisely the same manner to a dozen
others.
He is not dangerous to those& who
know him, but unfortunately he does
not wear a placard proclaiming his
idiosyncrasics to the world at large,
and many a happy little maiden has
been turned into sad-eyed woman
through the unmeaning attentions of
his royal highncss the male iirt.
