A PORT OF DELIVERY.
Action Taken to have Boomers Ferry
made one.
Last Tuesday Mr.. d G.. Mitchell

Last TUESDAY, MT. IL. y. MITCHELL,
a special agent of the Treasury de-
partment, arrived in the city. The
object of his visit was to investigate
the situation at Bonner's Ferry rel
alive to it's being made Port of De
livery. Accordingly a meeting of
citizens was held Wednesday at
the Bank building to confer with
Mr.. Mitchell and to press the claims
of Bonner's Ferry. The following
were present:
w. HI Harris, J. G. McRae, VIM.
VanGasken, A. Kaiser, T. J. Jones,
s. E. Henry, Capt. Dupuy, Capt.
&. R. Gray, Capt. P. Laneau, VIM.
Ainslie, &C. Mussleman, Harry
Braden, H. L. Carlton, G. 2. Lam
oerton, B. Morris, Bartlett Sinclair,
j. E. Dolan S. d. Taylor and others.
VIM. VanGasken was elected
chairman of the meeting and 7. j.
Jones, secretary.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that he
would like a report from the citi-
zens upon the claims and advantages
Of Bonner's Ferry for such loca-
ton and then withdrew from the
meeting to allow it to discuss the
proposition.
After a discussion a committee of
five was selected to present Bon
ner's Ferry's claims to Mr.. Mitchell
who will report direct to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The commit
tee was selected as follows: Bart
lett Sinclair, VIM. VanGasken,
Capt. G. R. Gray, Capt. Dupuy and
S. ID. Taylor.
The committee waited upon Mr..
Mitchell Thursday evening and
presented to him a full report set
ting forth the superior advantages
Of Bonner's Ferry for the official To-
cation of the port. The report is
too lengthy to be reproduced in the
HERALD but shows that there will be
large importations Of ore into this
country from now on; that the nat
ural, cheapest and most expedi
tious route is by way Of the Koot-
enai and Bonner's Ferry, and as
this point is at the head Of naviga-
ton, and at a point where the ore
and other imports are to be trans
ferred to the railway, that this
would be the proper place for the
port of delivery to be located. The
re port also showed the disadvantages
both to the shippers and to the
government of locating it elsewhere.
1t is quite certain that Mr.. Mitch
ell will make a report highly favor
able to Bonner's Ferry.

Entertaining Exercises.

The program of the Bonner's Ferry
Literary society last Saturday even
ing was exceedingly interesting.
Only few of the parts assigned
were carried out but those proved
to be of exceptional quality. Mrs.
VanGasken and Mrs. Frizzell sang
Duet accompanied by Mrs. Van
Gasken ON a guitar, which was wor-
thy of note. "Thanatopsis" was re-
cited by Mrs. Mussleman in her
usual excellent style, eliciting much
praise. The Minstrel performance
by 6 of "the boys" was good consid-
ering the time for preparation.
The disputants for the debate not
being present an impromptu debate
was arranged, Mr.. o. Callahan tax
ing the affimitive and Mr.. Landes
the negative of the question, Re
solved that high tempered careful
housekeeper makes a better wife
than SWEET tempered careless
housekeeper. The judges all being
married ladies, it is needless to say
the question was decided in the
affirmative. The program for Sat
urday, March 4, is as follows

Kootenai Valley Stock Raising.

The HERALD has repeatedly
claimed for the Kootenai valley that
1t was a good stock country. The
valley may not be adapted for large
herds, but the ranchers can raise
cattle in smaller numbers at a nice
profit. They have plenty of hay to
feed in the winter. Beef stock now
brings a good price, and dairy prod
ucts find no better market in the
world than right here at home.
The following are prominent stock
raisers Of the valley, with the num-
Der of head of cattle they own:
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1893-03-04

Besides these there are probably
500 head owned in small lots by
ranchers throughout the valley.
Hundreds Of horses are also owned
in the valley. All this stock has
wintered well, little or no loss being
reported, although the winter has
been exceptionally severe. Stock
raising and the dairy business will
become a prominent industry in
the Kootenai Valley.

A Greedy Little Girl.

Bridget said Anna, running into
the kitchen one Monday morning,
give me some bread and butter, I'm
awful hungry
Now. Miss Anna. said Bridget, rails
ing herself from the washtubs where
her good natured face appeared
through the steam like crimson sun
from ont cloud, what do You be
after botherin' me fer whin I'm in the
thick av the wash-in', and il on'y tin
o'clock, too; didn't yer ate yer ill at
breakfast, sure =
Il don't care il is only ten o'clock"
said Anna, Il want something to eat
this minute, so there
"Yerll have to wait till | get this
tub av clothes hung out; | can't be
after dryin' me arrums and paddlin'
round wild me wet drOss in the closet
IN get some myself then said
Anna impatiently, III you've a mind
TO be such a mean thing
Mean or not, said Bridget, return
ing 10 her tubs. yer bsttrr mind
what YER ma said this blessid mornin'
whiu she found the sugar spilled all
over. that yer was not TO be after
takin' things yersiIf, but wait ill big
folk could help yer.
Anna pouted out hsr lips, and made
two ugly wrinkles come between her
eyes. Oh how cross she looked,
Finally she softly took IA knife from
the dresser behind BridGe;'s back,
and going into the hall from which
the store closet opened, she cautious
lv entered the closet, shutting the
door after her. She could not see at
first. as all the light there came
through two half moons cut Ia the
panels OF the door
When her eyes became accustomed
TO the dimncss she took loaf al bread
from the box on the shelf and cut
jagged slice, spilIing many crumbs on
the tidy board
Then she looked about for the but
ter. She knew her mother kept IL in
stone crock on the floor 80 she peer
ed under the shelf There wer~ sev-
eral crooks. Anna uncovered one
and thrust i'm her knife.
The light was very bad, but, yrs,
this was nice yellow butter; rather
soft. to be sure. but she would spread
il all the easier She meant 20 have
it thick; Bridget was so stingy she
never put on half enough. All! this
looked delicious, and Anna, sitting
down on the lour.bucket, took
large bite.
Such howl nS rose from that closet
The very cat jumped from her sIocp
with every hair standing on end with
fright. Bridget flew in from the
kitchenand flung wide the closet door.
Mamma rushed down stairs. There
stood the naughty girl stamping,
screaming, and suffering, aud the
bread upside down on the floor
What il the matter cried mamma.
Sure mum, said Bridget, grinning
as she covered up the crock, shes
been afther attn soft soap instead nv
butter.

He laid his watch on the great an

Why Women Blush.

Blushing is not an art Neither ~
It an absolute sign Of breeding, az
some unkind folks maintain. The
fact i it is Just as natural for some
people TO blush on one occasion as 1t
is for others to turn pale on another.
The same laws that governs the one
rule govern the other. The capilla-
ries or small blood vessels which con
meet the arteries and veins in the
body, form. particularly over the
cheeks, network 50 fine that il IL
necessary to employ II microscope to
distinguish them.
Ordinarily the blood Passes through
these vessels in normal volume, leav-
ing only the natural complexion.
But when some sudden motion takes
possession OF the heart its action in
creases aud an electric thrill instantly
leaps TO the cheeks.
The thrill is nothing more than the
rush OF blood through the Invisible
capilaries. the color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the deli
cate surface Of the skin. The causes
that bring aLodt this condition ia the
circulating system are chilled mental
stimuli. They consist OF JOY, anger,
shame and the many other emotions.
Sudden horror, remOrse or fear, on
the contrary, influence the nerves,
which controls the blood vessels, and
the face becomes white Blushing
and pallor result from the sudden
action OF the mind on the nervous
system. So il the mind be fore warn
ed and prepared for emotions, both
habits can at least he partially over
come. But when the nervous system
is highly strung it would be lifelong,
if not futile, task to emdeayOr TO ef-
feet perfect cure. lt is the sensi-
tive. nervous girl who blushes easily,
while the girl stoIid by nature, or
who by education has her nerves un-
der perfect control, seldom bushes.

How Much will a Man Acquire Honestly.

1t used 10 be said that no man
can accumulate 81 10000 Of his own
in his own lie time without doing in
justice to some one or making some
others poorer by his own thrift. This
was probably true before the modern
age OF improved machinery and great
inventions 1t may be that even In
these times 10 man can make -, ,OOO,
600 honestly in his own active life
without making others work for him.
This is saying but little, however, be-
cause as soon as man has saved by
his own toll $1,000 he has enough cap
ital, if rightly used, to employ one
other man. As soon as he has saved
$4,000 the average man is the EN-
ployer Of four other men and is on
the road to become a millionaire,
monopolist, plutocrata and other things
that campaign orators hold up as
something which voters ought to put
down. Yet the voters and the ora
tors ask nothing better than 10 be-
come one Of that hated class.
John Stephenson, the great car
builder who died recently, is an Illus
stration Of what legitimate industry
will do in this wonderful country.
He started with nothing and he left
about SS,OOO,00O. He began at II,
working for : week, and hs died at
81, leaving an income of so, 900 a week.
Yet it was all honestly earned.
1t is said that Stephenson never in
vested a dollar in his life in specula-
ton. He simply built with his own
hands the first street car that was
ever made and be lived TO see 1900
other men building his street cars for
almost ever country on the face Of
the globe. His great fortune aud the
esteem in which all his men held
him show that no limit Of $1,000, ,00C
honestly can be placed upon legiti
mate enterprise and industry in this
country.

THE DEAD LOVER.

He whom l love so well
Is in his long. long sleep;
Yet lament him not,
For he told me not to weep.
More dear to him the grave
Than 1 could ever be;
For though go 10 him,
He does not come 10 me.
envy not the grave
What yesterday was mine,
But bow my head and say,
Keep him, for he is thine.
But keep not, grave, my youth,
Which cannot profit thee;
My smile and my light step
O give them back to me.
But the grave answered, No;
For these things still are dear,
Since he, deprived ofthem,
Would be too lonely here.
Then TO the dead pray:
Restore my youth 10 me,
That when we meet again
be not old to thee!
But he nor hears nor sees,
For his eyes Ike mine are dim;
so TO his grave l come,
To get them back from him.
For only in the grave
Are tears no longer shed,
And the living happy made
Beside the happy dead.
