ton company. This occupation
familiarized him with knowledge
of ores which now stands him well
in hand. Before coming to Bon
ner's Ferry he was practicing law,
and this, too, enables him to decide
with greater accuracy the many
legal questions that arise in his
office.
The work of this office has grown
to such an extent of late that an
additional officer is now required.
There were many applicants for the
position, and it is an honor no less
merited than distinguished to Mr..
Rufus L. Cheney that he carried off
the plumb. Mr.. Cheney assumes
his duties as night collector today.
He, too, is well qualified for his
position. He has lived in the
Kootenai country for the past seven
years and is known as man of
sterling integrity, and is what in
the language of the west is termed
great rustler. He has a good
knowledge of men, and he will make
just such a brave, fearless, intelli-
gent officer as is required to cope
with the gang of smugglers that is
preparing to operate along the
Kootenai border. Mr.. Cheney has
made a good record for himself as
business man. Nearly everyone in
the Kootenai has become familiar
with him during the last winter as
the manager and one of the propri-
etor's of the Bonner's Ferry and
Kootenai Lake stage line, which he
placed in operation in the face of
great obstacles and conducted with
great success and profit. We pre-
dict for him a good record as a Gus
toms officer.

The Game Law.

The new game law is very strict
in many of its provisions, and per
sons who violate it need not be sur.
prised to find themselves in trouble.
1t starts off by making it unlaw-
full to kill caribou, moose or elk be-
fore September, 1897.
1t is unlawful 10 kill deer, ante
lope, mountain sheep or goats be-
tween January LIST and September
LIST Of each year.
Railroads are prohibited from
shipping meat or hides Of the above
mentioned game at any time of the
year.
Section makes it unlawful for
any person to hunt any of the game
mentioned above with dogs, or to
have dogs in his possession for that
purpose.
Prairie chicken, grouse, pheasant
and partridge are protected between
January LIST and August LIST; wild
geese, ducks and swans between
April 18th and August 18th.
1t is made unlawful to fish with
anything but rod and line held in
the hand. The use of others is
prohibited.
All fishing is strictly prohibited
between November LIST and April
18th. Railroad and transportation
companies are prohibited from ship
ping or receiving fish at any time of
the year.
Section Is provides that the
county commissioners shall appoint
game warden for each county,
who may appoint deputies, and it
is the warden's duty to arrest all
persons found violating the law.
He receives one-half Of the fine i'm
posed.
The law provides for heavy fines
of from $50 to 800 and imprison-
ment not exceeding sixty days.
All other game laws are repealed.

Two More Transportation Lines.

Besides the Kootenai river and
the Great Northern railway, Bon
ner's Ferry will soon have two more
transportation lines. One of these
will consist of a branch from the
Northern Pacific, and the other a
connection with the Great Northern
to the coal fields near the Crows
Nest Pass in British Columbia. The
former line is already surveyed. 1t
starts from Kootenai station, or
some point near there, and reaches
Bonner's Ferry at a distance of 36
miles. When this branch is built
into the city the Northern Pacific
will then have an equal show with
the Great Northern for the trade OF
the British Kootenai, Priest Lake
and other camps tributary to the
Kootenai river. AS to the other
line, the Canadian Pacific, it pro
poses to make connection with the
Great Northern so as to get an out
let by way of Bonner's Ferry for it,
coal in the Crows Nest Pass coun
try.
The building of both these
branches will add materially to thu
Importance of Bonner's Ferry, anC

continental railway lines.

do well. These products would al
ways bring good prices. The pop
ulation to be supplied is large and
the area of country adapted to the
business is limited. The dairy
business can be conducted by the
small rancher, while for those who
make it speciality, nice business
is assured.
The expense of conducting a dali
ry farm is no more here than else
where. Stock can Craze for eight
or nine months in the year, and
the valley lands produce the hay
with which to feed them in the
winter, requiring only the expense
of putting it up.
There is plenty of room yet in
the valley for those who wish to
take up ranches and go into this
business, either as an auxiliary to
ranching or as speciality.

Brick and Building Stone.

1t has been practically demon
strated that we have here at Bon
ner's Ferry a quality of clay for
making the finest kind of brick so
that when that class of building
material is required it can be had.
1t should also be noted that we
have the finest quality of granite
in close proximity to the, town.
The stone can be cheaply quarried
and transported to the townsite for
building purposes.

and Dairy Business

demonstrated beyond question.
Cabbages weighing forty to sixty
pounds are common products; three
hundred bushels of potatoes of the
finest quality to an acre of average
ground, excites no comment. Root
vegetables of every variety grow to
an immense size, and a crop failure
from drought or other causes is
never known. Hops thrive luxur-
iantly in the valleys, and experts
pronounce the conditions of soil and
climate as favorable for this branch
of agriculture as those existing in
the famous Puyallup district of
Washington. Cranberries of the
most delicate flavor grow album
dainty in the marshes. Wheat,
oats and other cereals do as well, if
not better, than in any other
section of the northwest. 1t
may also be mentioned that for the
following typographical and local
reasons farming and stock raising
in the Kootenai valley will always
be a paying industry; first, because
of the presence Of good local mar
kets in consequence Of the flourish
ing condition of such industries as
mining and numbering: and second,
because British Columbia, being in
mountainous and wooded country,
imports the greater portion of her
supplies from the United States,
Notwithstanding the tariff. With
the two great transcontinental lines
of railway (the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacifc) to the south,
and the vast mining fields of Brit
ish Columbia to the nerth, and that
of the East Kootenai on the east,
the producer will always find a
ready market and the products of
the valley will be in great demand.
Throughout the entire valley the
Kootenai river is navigable for the
largest steamer. 1t is stately,
slow flowing stream, averaging
about 80 feet in depth and from
600 to 800 feet in width. The be-
ginning of the valley is practically
the head Of navigation, although
steamers can ascend the river to
the cascades during high water,
but it is somewhat dangerous
Four large steamers are now plying
in the Kootenai attending to the
coasting trade and transporting pas
sengers and goods between Bonner'f
Ferry and British Kootenai points
These steamers have an average
capacity of about 200 tons burden
} and can carry from 100 to 200 pass
. engers. The daily passing Of these
: steamers give the ranchers alons
the Kootenai a fine transportation
service, the steamers being able t.
land almost at their doors.
In looking back over the country
) through which a hurried excursion
has just been taken, it is almos
g needless to say the that natura
2 scenery is unsurpassed. Natur
5 seems to have exhausted herself il
the many objects of interests which
: everywhere meet the eye.

The Dairy Business.

1t is strange that so little atten-
ton has been paid to the dairy bus
mess in this valley. Dairy products
always bring a good price. Butter
sells for from % to so cents per
pound. There is always a market
for milk, and cheese factory would

The Kcotenai valley, beginning
at Bonner's Ferry and extending
northward to the Kootenai lake in
British Columbia, is about seventy
miles in length and from three to
five miles in width. 1t is one broad
expanse of meadows, merging on
both sides into pine-covered hills
and mountains that rise in pictur
esque slopes to a height of from
1900 to 5000 feet. 1t comprises
about 100000 acres of rich agricul-
tural land, and is one of the most
attractive and fertile valleys in the
northwest. AS it is situated in
comparatively new country, and
only in the last few years regarded
as a possible farming country,
knowledge concerning the fertility
of the valley has been very limited.
From the beginning Of the valley
to the Kootenai lake the soil is of
uniform composition, an amazingly
fertile silicated clay, sandy loan,
insuring great and literally mex
haustible productiveness. The
depth to which this composition
extends must be very great, for dur
ing low water the annual layers
can be easily observed on the ex-
posed and steep river banks. All
the vegetation in the valley shows
an almost tropical luxuriance. Its
average altitude is about 1000 feet,
giving the valley very delightful
climate. Owing to its sheltered
position high winds do not prevail.
The average snowfall is about
three feet. Spring always comes
early and the fall extends far into
the winter, giving ample time for
the maturity of crops. The frost
less, warm summers produce fine
and heavy crops of wheat, oats, po-
tatoes, peas and almost every vari-
ETY. of garden produce, even such
as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons
and other delicate growths. Tim
othy, red top and millet yield a
bountiful harvest. Fruit trees
such as apples, plums and cherries
have been planted, and the success
attending their culture has stimu-
lated the settlers to further efforts
in that direction. The little farm
ing that has hitherto been done il
this valley has reaped large re
ward, and the only reason that i
has not been carried on to a greater
extent can only be attributed to it,
inaccessibility and the obstacles il
the way of communication.
Sheep raising is also destined t.
become one of its chief resources
Cattle and horses, in ordinary sea
sons, winter with twomonths' feed
ingIbut with the introduction of bet
ter stock, and as the valley settles
up, other provisions will have to b
made. The foothills and mountain
will always afford good grazing dur
ing the summer months, and tn
bottom land will produce an.
amount of feed for winter. Thi
industry has not been overlooked.
During the last year the agricul
tural resources of the valley hav
improved wonderfully. There ar
vet thousands of acres of vacan
land throughout the valley, an
those who come in now for home
steads have a large area to choos
from. Farming in the Kootenai i
no longer an experiment; that tn
finest crops can be grown has beel

kootenai Valley Stock Raising.

The HERALD has repeatedly
claimed for the Kootenai valley that
it 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 pro-
ducts 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:

Besides these theTW ire 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 we'll, 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.

In his annual report Secretary Car
Isle reiterates a favorite argument of
advocates of the Wilson bill, who as
serts that under its operation there will
be no important falling off in revenues
Notwithstanding the extraordinary re-
duction in tariff duties contemplated by
1t. The increase in the volume of i'm
portations, they assert, will make good
the deficiency which decreased duties
would disclose. Assuming that this
prediction is correct, and we are in
clined to believe 1t is alarmingly correct,
a view of the case is presented which
our Democratic friends should hesitate
to expose.
They will admit that there are now
and have been for year enough arti-
cles, foreign and domestic, in the coun-
try to supply the demand. Every de-
pository OF every class of merchandise
or manufac ure is crowded. The retailer
complains that the demand is not equal
to the supply and that he is over
stocked. Wholesale merchants and
manufacturers say that all avenues of
trade are blocked by accumulated
products. There must certainly be
displacement to make room for this in
creased volume of i'm portation by which
our expenses of government are to met.
There must necessarily be a closing of
one source of supply.
If the doors OF our custom houses are
opened wider, it can not be hoped
that the congestion will be relieved
from that direction. Therefore the hus-
bandman of the United States, our
home mills and factories must cease or
greatly diminish their contributions to
an already stagnant supply. The stu
alton does not warrant conjecture or ad-
nit of argument as to the result of
vigorous competition by which. tariff re-
formers, treating another feature of the
case, have assured us our producers
could maintain themselves against the
producers of other lands.
Ii we should be able by successful
competition to shut out our commercial
antagonists the effect upon the reve-
nues would be disastrous, so we find
ourselves confronted by the curious con-
dition that if we become privately pros
porous we become publicly bankrupt.
Which will it be, gentlemen, for on
your own showing made at different
times it must be one or the other, indi-
dividual prosperity or national bank
ruptcy?

am convinced that if woman finds
pleasure in killing fish or bird, she is
perfectly entitled to so amuse herself,
and the great, round, goggle-eyed
world has no right to point at nor talk
about her, says writer in Outing.
The few women who openly handle
rod and gun as though they really
knew the uses of the tools seldom fail
to acquit themselves creditably; and,
best of all, in following their chosen
pastimes they find what every man and
woman wants above all earthly things
health of body and of mind. Long,
dusty ages ago, from out the old blue
clay was fashioned man, and after him
was woman. She, the humorists tell
US, has been after him, more or less,
ever since; and, in my humble opinion,
the more she is after him in the line of
field sports the better for the gentler
sex. There is no evil in the wilds as
nature made them; there is wondrous
truth in the sermon of stones and
streams, in the whisper of wind-stirred
foliage, in the ripple of waters and the
sigh of swaying pines. There is health
and purest pleasure in store for those
who follow the windings of musical
trout-brook, or tramp long, breezy
miles behind staunch dogs-should not
woman enjoy these things? She may
never acquire the art of Juggling a
great flask ofrye along during outings;
she may never master the intricate
problem of throwing responsibility of
misses upon the gun or the ammuni-
tion-she may not even learn to lie
freely and persuasively about the Sum-
Der of fish she caught or of the size of
those that got away, but she can be a
sportswoman true, and the sooner she
realizes this fact the better,
