In clearing away the wreck yester-
day a heavy piece of timber fell on
one of the men, knocking him
down and crushing both legs. DIR.

his injuries are painful, he is3now

Steamboat Briefs.

The British steamer Nelson is
expected up Monday.
J. c. Rykert, the British customs
officer at the boundary line, came
up on the Galena and returned on
the Spokane.
George Mackie, the ship carpen-
ter, returned to his home in Spo-
kane after the completion Of the
steamboat here.
The remodeling Of the Spokane
was equivalent to building a new
boat. 1t is indeed an excellent
piece Of workmanship. Everybody
but the mechanics seemed surprised
when the vessel moved off so
smoothly. Before the trial of the
boat they alone appeared confident
that it would be all right. The
Spokane was rebuilt by A. r.
McPhee and George Mackie, and
they certainly are masters of their
trade.

A Construction Train Wrecked.

AS the Great Northern construc-

material yard near the halfway
house last Wednesday it met with
quite a serious accident, and had
the train been moving at a greater
speed it might have proved fatal to
some Of the crew. For some rea-
son the caboose jumped the track,
and before the engineer could re-

demolished and four fiat cars were
badly wrecked. A number Of peo-

A STITCH IN TIME.
Citizens of Fry Take Action on Town.
site Matters.

The property holders of the town
of Fry held a meeting last Tues
day night pursuant to call issued
by /. j. Brant, president of the Fry
Townsite Company. There was
good attendance. William NJ. Aims
lie was chosen chairman of the
meeting and G. G. Warner secre-
tary. The chairman briefly stated,
in view of the fact that nearly all
the western towns originally To-
Gated on government land have
been harrassed more or less by
claim-ju jumpers, it is deemed advisa
BILE by the property claimants of
Fry to take action in good time and
adopt measures that will prevent
claim-jumping here; also to pro-
hibit the obstruction of streets and
alleys by erecting buildings on
ground recognized as public high
way.
This statement by Chairman
Ainslie was embodied in motion
by w. L. Kinnear, and by unani-
nous vote it was decided to elect a
committee of five to devise a plan
to carry out the programme as
above stated. The following com
mittee was placed in nomination
and elected; w. l.. Brownleigh,
l. J. Brant, A. Williams, George
Alberts and T. A. Bishop.
1t was suggested that the com
mittee also make corrections and
alterations in streets, or grade
the streets if deemed necessary
in the judgment of the committee.
Some thought that this was giving
five men too much power, while
member Of the committee OBJ
jected on the ground that it was
giving them too much work. This
disposed Of the suggestion.
A committee was then appointed
to draft rules or bylaws to govern
the townsite organization, and if
adopted each property holder
will be asked to sign them as a
pledge to aid and support the com
mittee of five in the performance OF
the duties assigned them. The
committee on rules consists OF
Messrs. Kinnear, Baines and War
ner.
Notice was given for another
meeting tomorrow night at 1880
when the committee on rules will
report. Adjourned.

of the Great Northern will be laid
through Bonner's Ferry. The iron
horse will be in the Garden of
Eden-in the Panhandle of Idaho
and the bells will ring forth their
welcome sound in the coming me-
tropolis of Idaho. Bonner's Ferry
will be United with the outside
world by bands of steel. The en-
trance of the Great Northern into
this city will be the greatest epoch
in the history of the town, and
will mark an important turning
point in the progress of the great
Kootenai country. The dream of
the railroad so long INDUCED in is
at length realized, and soon we
will stand beside highway from
ocean to ocean. The old stage
coach and the pack mule, which
has heretofore played the most inn
portant part in the development OF
the country, have passed the day
of their usefulness and will only
be recorded in the history of the
country or live in the memory OF
the pioneer. AS they shift across
the stage of progress and say
Farewell, my race is rum" the
curtain rises upon brighter scene
in which rolling palaces fill the
background. Another great inland
empire has been reclaimed from a
wild state of nature, and civiliza-
ton with its modern arts and re-
filming influences smoothes the
wrinkled front of the panorama.
1t may be asked-what is to be
the relation Of the Great Northern
to Bonner's Ferry? Simply this;
That the city is to be made one OF
the most important points on the
line. Not only will it be the great
commercial center for the whole OF
the Kootenai district and the ter.
minus Of the Northern Pacific's
projected branch from Kootena
station, but we can say on no less
authority than President J. j. Hill
that this will be one of the divi
sion points; that it will be thu
transfer of the greater portion o
the produce, merchandise and or,
of British Columbia and Northern
Idaho, and that the Great Northern
will use all its influence and powe
in the interest Of this city.
Whoever will look at the geo
graphical position of Bonneri
Ferry will see at once that its loca
ton is one Of great importance
and its future prosperity is NJ
longer a matter of conjecture. l

must pass who would delve int,

Bonner's Ferry will soon pass tn

better look to her laurels.
