business Failures,

A comparison that needs no comment
to convey its import is that of the num-
ber of business failures in the United
States with the number of similar fail
ures in Canada. In 1890 there was in the
United States one failure to every 93
business concerns, while in Canada there
was one failure to every 45. In 1891 there
was one failure to every 81 in the United
States, and one to every Z in Canada In
1892 the figures were one in 81 for the
United States and one in Is for Canada.

The ST. Maries Country.

A new camp about which consid-
cradle will be heard during the COM
ing summer is the St. Maries coun-
try situated on the head waters of
the st. Maries river, east and just
over the divide from Pilot Bay,
b. G.
This district was discovered last
fall by AL Gray and Robt. McCor-
mick. They located some rich gold
and silver claims and brought out
some fine samples of ore. They
could do but little prospecting and
it was too late to make a second
trip into the country after making
their locations. They found five
foot vein, average assays Of which
ran about 60 ounces in silver and
from $106 to 5000 in gold.
Robt. Mccormick, who is now
In town, intends returning to his
discovery in the spring and opening
it up. He is waiting here for the
snow to go off.
The claims are back about fifteen
miles from Pilot Bay but on the
the eastern slope of the mountains.

HUNTING AND FISHING.
The Kootenai Country a Veritable
Paradise for Sportsmen.

The tourist and sportsman will
find much in the Kootenai country
to afford him enjoyment. There
is probably no place in the world
where game abounds in such num-
b9rs and varieties as in the country
surrounding Bonner's Ferry. Large
game especially is abundant. The
cariboo, one of the noblest of wild
animals, and one which is consid-
cred great trophy by sportsmen,
is to be found in the higher ranges
in large numbers, and is found in
scarcely any other locality than
this. Mountain sheep and noun
tain goats are also found far back
and high up on the ranges, and
these too are much priced by sports
men. Besides these their are large
numbers of black, cinnamon and
what in this country is called bald
faced bear, also, elk, several va
rieties Of deer and various spe-
cies of small game. Pheasants
grouse, wild geese, ducks and many
other species of birds are to be
found. The fisherman has his
choice from the speckled beauties
in the mountain streams to the
large sturgeon Of the KOotenai.
We believe there can be no more
delightful place in the world in
which to spend a few weeks of rec
reation in the fall than in the noun
tains surrounding Bonner's Ferry.
For grand scenery, delightful eli
mate, for the rarest and noblest of
game-for all these, the country is
simply unsurpassed.

TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.

A recent New York dispatch reads:
James @. H, a fine looking and

afternoon, and after taking one or two I'M
certain steps fell TO the sidewalk. When

in transportation facilities. The
retail trade is insured. The jobbing
business is only yet in its infancy,
but it has been demonstrated that
this point can supply the mining
camps with their goods at as good
figures as any other point, and with
great saving in time after the or
der is placed.
In the way of manufactured
goods the factories and mills will
come to Bonner's Ferry. There is
fortune for some one in good
lumber plant. We need a shingle
mill, sash and door factory, a
paper mill, shelter and many
other enterprises that might be
enumerated. AS will be noted else
where we have excellent water power
to run mills or factories or to fur
nish electric power and light. We
have the raw material here at home,
and the market for the manufac-
tured product is at our very doors.
Bonner's Ferry is a natural
smelling point. The camps of
this mineral empire that are not
practically on the shores of the
Kootenai are reached by the Great
Northern. The steamers must
bring the ores to this point to be
sampled, inspected and passed
through the custom house whether
they are smelted here or not. But
we believe that owing to our advan-
tageous location, our nearness to
cokeing coal, together with the fact
that we have all various huxing
ores at our command-all this will
tend to the establishment of large
smelling plant here to handle the
ores of the Kootenai country. Once
Bonner's Ferry is made a smelling
town and she at once assumes i'm
portance that can scarcely be esti-
mated at present.
1t will be seen that the POSSIBLE
ties of Bonner's Ferry are simply
wonderful. What the place will
make, will depend upon future de-
velopment, but this much can be
said, that while many OF our pro-
posed western towns can make only
villages at best, here at Bonner's
Ferry we have a show to build a
city.
So much for the outlook for Bon
ner's Ferry.
OF the past of the town it may
be said that since early in the six
ties it was no more than frontier
trading post. 1t happens to be on
the trail to the Wild Horse placer
country and gained its first impor-
tants from that fact. Then it be-
came trading post for trappers
and indians and was little more, un-
til two years ago when the Great
Northern began to build through,
1t has grown to be a place of 800
inhabitance and is rapidly growing,
With her rich resources and grand
possibilities, it would be surprising
if Bonner's Ferry does not rapidly
forge ahead and take her place in
the front rank of inland cities OF
the Northwest.
Among other subjects that will
prove interesting to those thinking
of locating at Bonner's Ferry are
the following:

of the HERALD to describe the re-
sources of the Kootenai country,
and yet much has remained untold.
We have condensed and scarcely
done any subject justice, partic-
ularly the mining industry. A
country, then, that has such Won
derful resources must have some
point adapted for a great CONNER
cial centre. A glance at the map
must convince anyone that such
place is found at Bonner's Ferry.
Bonner's Ferry is without rival
in point of advantageous location for
the commercial metropolis of the
Kootenai country. No other point
begins to have it's advantages. No
other town can have both the Brit
ish and American Kootenai mining
camps to support it.
The works Of nature and of man
have combined to give Bonner's
Ferry these advantages. In the
first place she has central location
in the great Kootenai country.
Then she is at the head of naviga-
ton on a great river. She is on the
line of the Great Northern railway,
which gives the place transportation
connections with all the world. So
that it will be seen that by reason
of her peculiar location and her
transportation facilities Bonner's
Ferry has reason to have metropol-
itan aspirations.
On other pages of the HERALD
we have enumerated the various re-
sources of the Kootenai country.
Let us look at their relation to Bon
ner's Ferry.
First-As to the mining indus
try. AS has been pointed out, the
British and American Kootenai are
looked upon as the coming mining
empire of the world. To handle
this mining proposition will require
the employment of thousands of
laborers and the expenditure of vast
sums of money. After the mines
are opened up the ores will have to
be transported to the smelters for
treatment. The products of the
ranch, of the mills and the manu-
factories, and merchandise of all
kinds will be required at the mines
to supply the thousands that are
interested directly and indirectly
in the mines. This means that
every acre Of available land in the
Kootenai valley will be titled and
its products find a market at the
mines. 1t means that mills and
manufactures will be established
near the mines to supply needed
articles. 1t means that merchants,
both wholesale and retail, will find
a market for thousands where they
sell dollars worth now. 1t means
that all kindred industries and
occupations will go hand in hand
with the mining business and -four
ish as it shall flourish.
As the products Of the Kootenai
valley come to be more in demand,
as will be the inevitable result, then
the population will increase and the
number of ranches be greater, so
that Bonner's Ferry will have good
agricultural resources to back it.
AS to the mercantile business, no
town-c could be better located for a
retail and jobbing trade. We have
an advantage in freight tariffs; we
have an advantage in our central

dom falls below zero, and never re-

SCENERY.
The scenery about Bonner's Fer
ry, both in winter and summer, is
unsurpassed, and makes a picture
which once seen is enjoyed and re-
membered. From Bonner's Ferry
to Kaslo by steamer is a trip pro-
nounced by tourists to be the most
charming in the world.
Game and fish abound in the
country, and here the sportsman
finds veritable paradise.
HEALTH.
The healthfulness Of this locality
is unquestioned. The water is
pure and clear, and the facilities
for drainage are excellent. The
dryness of the air promotes the
cure of all pulmonary troubles.
SCHOOLS, ETC.
There is good graded school
and a thriving church society
Several secret societies have been
organized.
Where is there a location that
you can name which has such pos
sibilities as this point? Aside from
the railroad magnates, the great for
tunes in this country have been
made in mining, real estate, lumber
and manufacturing. Here at Bon
ner's Ferry you have opportunities
to engage in any of these occupa-
tions. Men of capital will. But
there is a hundred and one other
occupations that will flourish along
side of these greater industries, that
will support and sustain a large
population when .once the greater
industries are put N operation.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY

Tuesday night between 10 and II
o'clock as the south bound train on
the Little Rock & Fort Smith railway
was pulling toward Van Burcn, an at
tempt was made to stop and rob the
tram. The train had just reached
Wagner |. T., when the conductor
and engineer were informed that sus-
picious characters had been seen at
the station below and warned to keep
sharp lookout.
The warning duly needed, but moth
ing Of any moment transpired when
the train pulled into the next station.
Three or four passengers got of, and
one man and woman got aboard. 1t
was the same at the succeeding sta
tions; nothing occurred to arouse sus-
picion. The trainmen began to think
that they had been victims of a huge
joke, and the train rolled rapidly to-
ward Van Buren,.
The trainmen all declare that it was
an evident attempt to stop and rob
the train.
There is flag station and water
tank between Fort Gibson and the in
tervening station, and as the train
came to the station it was
signalled to stop by three men
roughly clad who carried Wlnches-
ters. The engineer slowed up for a
moment, and then dashed by the sta.
ton at full speed. When the train
sped by the water tank two men
well armed, were observed standing
near the tank. II seems to be clear
that there was plan laid to hold up
and rob the express car and passen.
gers, and that it was baked only by
the action of the engineer in refusing
to stop. The train reached Van Blu.
rem between IL and 1 o'clock last
night.

HYPOCRISY OF MOURNING.

A recent writer, in discussing the
propriety and general use of the
mourning habit, or expressed more
accurately, the habit of wearing
mourning, says: OF all the incon-
gruities of daily life the woman with
a happy, smiling countenance and
gown heavily trimmed with crape is
the most noticeable. Every. day one
sees on the street, in the theater and
sometimes in ball room people who
wear the habiliments Of woe and
whose actious are entirely out Of
keeping with their attire.
The wearing Of mourning is of
course matter of custom, and to the
sensitive woman such attire affords a
protection from many remarks that
would otherwise wound most deeply;
to such it would mean o real sCarilege
to wear the bright colors that were
once typical of their own bright feel
ings, but many others, simply because
they are slaves to a custom, will shroud
themselves in Grape and bombazine
and have not the slightest change in
their feelings.
1t is no fancy picture when we tell
of gay little parties attended by those
wearing deep mourning who are per-
fectly willing to enter into every form
Of enjoyment if the matter is only
kept quiet. Hypocrites abound in
this world, but there are many more
clothed in sable garments than Of any
other type. Mourning is very expen-
sive and often costs family more
than they can well afford, yet il is
worn by rich and poor alike, though
they may not at heart feel the least
bit inclined to do so.
Invitations are refused because the
parties receiving them are in mourn.
ing, in many cases the refusal will be
accompanied by feelings Of regret
that they cannot go; the heart longs
for the gayeties, but their dress pre-.
vents them from indulging. OF what
use then is 1t to merely assume the
outward appearance of grief when in
realty It has no abiding place with usi

HON. THOMAS @. M'RAE.
The Distinguished Arkansas Legisla-
tor Addresses the Citizens Of
Bonham, Texas.

Hon. Thos. C. McRae, the able and
eloquent representative Of the Third
Arkansas district in the Federal Con-
gress, addressed the citizens of Fan
min, county, Texas, at the court house
in Bonham, on Thursday evening, the
9th instant. His address embraced a
thorough discussion of all leading po-
litical issues and important legislative
reforms. His address is said to have
been enthusiastically received and
warmly approved on all sides. The
speech was full of details and he elab-
grated his views, particularly on the
more vital issues He is in favor of
the repeal of the federal election laws;
the reduction of the tariff to strict
revenue basis; for free coinage of sill
yer, the ratio to be adjusted ON an
agreed basis, and the issue of paper
money to be sufficient to meet the
business demands of the country and
to be redeemable in coin. He is OPP
posed to paper fiat money. He favors
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state banks, and favors the Democrat
ic party carrying out its pledges, en-
unciated in the Chicago platform last
year. His review of the achievements
of the Democracy in the past, and his
expressed hopes of and for Democra-
cy in the future showed that he had
his subject well in hand. His eulogies
of Texas, of its people and statesmen,
were highly appreciated.
He expressed great satisfaction at
the greeting given him there, and he
made many acquaintances.
Mr.. McRae was there by invitation
of the fourth Of July arrangement
committee, and being urged to remain
over and talk upon the issues of the
day, he consented to do 80.
