stock raising valley and a large set
Element is springing up. A great
enterprise is also being carried on
at this place as it is the headquar-
ters for the Kootenai Valley Re-
clamation company, which is en-
gagged In. retaining a large area of
overflow lands in that vicinity. The
company will work from 200 to 400
men for several years in carrying
out their scheme.
1t will be seen then that it is o.
good commercial point. Such is
the conclusion reached by Messrs.
Quarrie and Billings. They erected
a substantial hotel at the line last
fall and are prepared to care for the
travelling public. They have good
bar in connection. The Boundary
Line Hotel is a popular stopping
place.
1t is the intention Of these gentle
men to enlarge their business. We
believe they have arranged that
Mr.. Quarrie shall take the hotel
while Mr.. Sam Billings will put up
a store building and engage in the
mercantile business. Considering
the Importance the place is assum-
ing it ought to be a very good loca-
ton.
Messrs. Quarrie & Billings are
also engaged in the stock business
and ranching. They own large
herd of cattle.
1t is such men as Quarrie
q Billings that we like to see
establish themselves in the country
adjacent to Bonner's Ferry. When
men of their energy and enterprise
and capital go into a country they
push it forward. Both gentlemen
are agreeable persons to meet
socially as well as being solid bust
ness men.

Harris & Recken. Rarbers.

H. w. Harris and G. A. Becken
are two popular Bonner's Ferryits
who have associated themselves to-
gethor in the barber business. They
have one of the neatest shops in the
country, and it is favorably located
on Main street. Both are artists in
their line and are able to slick their
customers up to the queens taste.
Mr.. Harris is Montanian and
halls from Livingston, while Mr..
Becken was in business in Hope
before coming to Bonner's Ferry.
Both have settled down to a per
manent residence here with their
families.
Their work is of such character
and their popularity with the pub
lie such that they have no competi-
ton and have no cause to fear any.

J. F. COOK, JR.
A Popular Druggist and Successful
Business Man.

Mr.. J. F. Cook, Jr, is the propri-
etor of well appointed drug store
in Bonner's Ferry. He carries a
new and well selected stock and
prides himself on his knowledge of
pharmacy. He is graduate of the
Washington College of Pharmacy,
of Washington, D. G.
Mr.. Cooks former home was in
Washington, but he came west in
'91 and established himself in the
drug business at Demmarsville,
Montana, and removed to BOnner's
Ferry last summer. Here he has
been noted for his studious habits
and careful attention to business.
He is a liberal and enterprising
business man, enjoys a large share
OF the public patronage, and spares
no pains to attend to the wants of
his customers.
In addition to his drug business
he has the agency for the National
Wall Paper Association, which
owns 80 per cent of that commodity.
This enables him to offer special
bargains in that line.

FRANK r. LITTLE.
Rathdrum's Loss and Bonner's Fer.
RVS Gain.

Rathdrum's Loss and Bonner's Fer
rvs Gain.
tits the pleasure of the HERALD
to announce that Mr.. Frank R.
Little, formerly of Kootenai, but
late of Rathdrum, has decided to
locate in Bonner's Ferry. Mr.. Lit
tie will, in a day or two, open up a
liquor business in what is known
as the Bank building. 1t will be
called "The Miners Sample Rooms, ("
and we bespeak for him that lib
eral patronage that he has always
received wherever he has engaged
in business.
-Four years ago Mr.. Little began
business in Kootenai, staying with
the town through the boom period,
and when the bottom dropped out
of that place he removed to Rath-
drum and took charge of the large
hotel of that place known as the
Hotel Wright.
Mr.. Little is an upright citizen,
socially inclined, and his friends in
Kootenai county are legion. We
have no doubt but that he will
achieve that success in Bonner's
Ferry which men of his character
deserve.

S. W. SMITH.
This Is Plain Sam Smith, the Noted
Stage Man.


A man must have some very
sturdy qualities who cangain good
reputation all over the northwest.
Such seems to be the case with Sam
Smith, the well known stage man.
Sam became a resident of the
Kootenai country when it was first
opening up. For several years he
ran a stage line from Kootenai
Station to Bonner's Ferry, ceasing
to operate the line only after the
Great Northern had been running
trains several months. The Koot-
enai road was the toughest piece of
travelling in the country, but Sam
always held it down with phenom-
email good luck.
During the past winter he drove
stage and operated line between
Bonner's Ferry and the head of
Kootenai Lake. While the Great
Northern was unable to run trains
Sam never mirsed trip all winter
long.
He owns a fine ranch at the
mouth Of Bear Greek, about four
miles this side of the boundary line.
Here he keeps a large number of
horses, so that he is prepared atany
time to start pack train, stage
line or freight outfit on the road.
He also owns considerable property
in Bonner's Ferry.
1t has been reported that Sam
was Missourian, but he .stoutly
denies the charge and explains how
that yarn started. He says that
while his folks were emigrating
west they stopped twenty years in
Missouri while he was boy, so as
a matter of fact he is not Missou-
rian at all.
Mr.. Smith is a whole-souled, lib
eral-hearted man, a sturdy, rough
and ready citizen of the country
pathfinder on this frontier, and one
who deserves many of the good
things of the land, good many of
which he is gathering around him.

teen lots scattered through the var
ious additions and has nine houses

rental. lie is also the owner of a
first class ranch in the valley a
short distance below town.
In addition to these interests Mr..

ital and conducts loan business in
Bonner's Ferry.
He came to this locality from
New Mexico about two years ago.
He invested in property on Main
street when it was very low, and
last spring sold considerable of it
at nice figure.
Mr.. Bothell has displayed good
judgment in his financial operations
and is one Of the most successful
men that has located in this place.

luck.

Among the prominent and influ-

HOLLEY HARDWARE COMPANY
A. L. Jameson and Capt. G. r. Gray
Proprietors.

ProprietorS.
The Holley Hardware Company
was established in Bonner's Ferry
about one year ago. OF the present
proprietors, Mr.. A. L. jameson
bought into the institution last
May, and Capt. G. r. Gray pur-
chased his interest last December.
The company is now composed of
Mr.. jameson and Capt. Gray, who
are equal partners.
This house carries a stock of
$4,000 and is one of the most sub
stantial business institutions in the
country. Their stock consists of
shelf and heavy hardware, doors,
windows, mining supplies, machin-
cry, furniture, wall paper, paints
and oils, etc. In fact they have
everything in the hardware line
likely to be called for in this sec
ton. The store is a credit to the
town, and the TACT that we have
such a store here adds to the advan-
tages Of Bonner's Ferry as a trading
point. Messrs. Jameson and GRAY
make a good strong commercial
team. Mr.. Jameson is quite a
young man to be managing such an
extensive hardware business, which
requires greater knowledge of its
details than almost any other COM
mercial calling, but he has had an
extensive experience in business
affairs and handles the store with
much ability and success. He was
formerly with Holley, Mason,
Marks d Co., of Spokane, and later
was employed for two years with
the wholesale house of Benham &
Griffith as head bookkeeper at a
large salary, which position he left
to go into the Holley Hardware
Company, of Bonner's Ferry.
Of Capt. G. r. Gray the HERALD
need say but little, as his residence
IN this country for the past nine
years has made him acquainted
with almost every one in it. Wher-
ever known he is held in the high
est esteem, and to know him is to
know Of his popularity. The cap
tain gets his title from the fact that
he has been operating steamboats,
on the Pend d'Oreille and Kootenai
for several years past. His last
venture in steamboating was to
build the steamer Spokane, one of
the largest boats on the Kootenai.
lie recently sold his interest in the
Spokane, but his ability and popul-
arlty as a steamboat man was such
that the new owners would not part
with his services as captain of the
boat, so he will continue to COM
mand the Spokane. He has been
engaged in other enterprises in all
OF which he has demonstrated good
judgment and ability. He is one
of the owners Of the Bonner's Ferry
townsite and one of our most public
spirited citizens.
