would be sufficient to take all the
paper a large mill could furnish.
The cost of manufacturing both
pulp and paper here would be no
greater than at any other point, and
the advantage of being in the i'm
mediate market would add materi-
ally to the profit.
One very important consideration
entering into the establishment of a
manufacturing industry is the cost
OF the necessary machinery. In the
manufacture of pulp and paper it is
not OF very expensive character,
with perhaps one exception, the
paper dryer, which is somewhat ex-
pensive. The raw material costs
nothing except the cost of putting
1t In the mill, and the profits from
the material when manufactured
are large. The men who have made
fortunes in the manufacture of
paper in places where the condi-
tons were much less favorable than
here, are not few.
The establishment of manufac-
turing industry in new country
like this is often looked upon as a
hazardous undertaking, and it is
often said man takes lots Of
chances in such a venture, but the
history of manufacturing in the
west more particularly shows that
the man who takes the chances and
makes the initiatory move in the
matter is the one who reaps the re-
ward. An old maxim, nothing
ventured, nothing gained" is as
sound in this line as in any other.
The advantageous features of the
situation properly placed before
some of the eastern paper and pulp
manufacturers would undoubtedly |
lead to an investigation of the sub
ject and the location of a good mill
here.

THERE is this about Bonner's
Ferry that is not true of most
places of its size. 1t is possible
here to build city. Whether the
forces to make a city will ever be
centralized here or not may be a
problem, but that we have the re-
sources here in the country to make
a city there can be no question;
and as we have the most advantage
Gus location, we believe that the
industries will be cntrealized here.
Bonner's Ferry is no country village
proposition. 1t has metropolitan
aspirations and the material to back
it. When a man casts his lot in
this place he has a chance to grow
up with a town and build up a
business in what will some day be
a city. Such opportunities are few
and far between, and it is the part
of wisdom to take advantage of
them.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1893-04-01
The Question of Titles.

We are happy to state that the
greatest barrier. in the way of the
progress of Bonner's Ferry and the
wonderful val ay,, so closely identi-
fed with it is V lout to be removed.
We refer to the subject of non titles
to real estate. At the present time
all the land in the American Koot-
enai remains unsurveyed, but con-
tracts have been let for the survey
of all the valuable land in the entire
valley, and the surveyors will be in
the field just as soon as the weather
will permit, so that in short time
the question of title will be settled.
There are four additions to the
town of Bonner's Ferry, all differ
emily situated as to the title.
Eaton's addition is striving for
title as a government townsite.
Their case is now pending in the
land office at Washington and they
expect a decision daily. They ex-
pect title to the greater portion, it
being on government land, but there
is small fraction that falls on rail
road land which is in dispute. We
look to see them clear up the title
to the greater portion of their prop
erty least at in short time.
Wright's addition to Bonner's
Ferry consists of 100 acres on the
north side of the Kootenai. The
owners have filed Valentine scrip
on the land, and as soon as the Off
cial survey is made they will be
able to give good title to real estate.
Seven acres of land right in the
heart of the town of Bonner's Ferry.
as it is now situated, is upon rail
road land. The property holders
on this ground have assurances from
the Northern Pacific that they will
receive title to their claimed lots as
soon as the matter can be reached
In an official way. They have as
surances, also. that little more than
a nominal sum will be charged for
lots, and that the company will
deal directly with the individual
holders; so Fry, as it is called, is in
fair condition to realize her hopes.
The Great Northern addition is
also on railroad land. At the pres
ent time Valentine scrip is on file
to secure the land, but deal has
recently been made with the North
ern Pacific whereby the Northern
Pacific title has been quoted. The
company has a bond for a deed
from the N. p. and will in a few
days be in shape to give purchasers
bond for deed with an assurance
that complete title will be given as
soon as the survey is made and the
matter can be reached by the gov
eminent.

ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY
ENTERPRISE.

The HERALD hereby acknowledges
to the business men and prominent
citizens of Bonner's Ferry and the
Kootenai valley its appreciation of
the liberal encouragement which
this Special Edition has received.
Twenty-one columns Of good, pay
ing advertisements is good record
for town the size of this, and re-
fleets great credit to the town and
speaks volumes for the push and
enterprise of the place. If it be
true that the advertising in a local
paper is a true index to the life of
a town, then the Gateway to Silver
land, through the medium of the
HERALD, is placed before the public
in no uncertain language.

"WHAT kind of business men
have you in your town." is a ques-
ton that is frequently asked. APP
ply the question to Bonner's Ferry
and we answer: GAS liberal, wide
awake and as enterprising a set of
men as you will find in any town
of its size in any country" During
the past year they have raised by
private subscription 81, 800 for sur
veys, $500 for celebration, $500
for city hall, $500 for a sleigh
road, $3.50 for city improvements,
and at least $4,000 for other pur-
poses we might mention. The
enterprise of a town is gen
orally reflected by the adver-
Using columns of It's newspaper.
A glance on our columns will
show that nearly every business
man in the city is an advertiser.
The HERALD can speak from exper-
fence and say that the business
men of Bonner's Ferry are good
class to cast your lot among.

THERE is a good opening at Bon
ner's Ferry for the establishment Of
a bank. We would have had such
an institution long ago but for the
fact that titles were not perfect, so
that some security could be
had. The drawback will soon be
removed. This place will then sup
port good solid banking institu-
ton.

Some of the industries that
Would Thrive Here.
GREAT NUMBERING INTERESTS.
Splendid Opening for Saw Mills,
Single Mills, Sash and Door
Factory, Paper Mill, Etc.

as a manufacturing point. We
have dwelt particularly upon its
superior location for a smelling
plant. In this article we wish to
call particular attention to but two
industries in the manufacturing
line as an instance of what may be
done, making mere enumeration
OF other industries that would thrive
here. The two we refer to are those
OF the lumber business in its vari-
Gus branches and paper mill.
The timber resources tributary
to Bonner's. Ferry are practically ex-
haustless. For lumber and shin
giles we have several good varieties
of pine and some of the the finest
fir and cedar in the world. The
size and quality is much the same
as that in Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota.
Here at Bonner's Ferry would be
a splendid location for large
lumber plant. The rates on the
Great Northern are such that lum-
Der may be shipped great dis
lance at profit. In fact it has
been the boast of President Hill
that he would make such low
rate on lumber that it could be
shipped from this locality to the
Dakotas. But there is a large in
termediate trade. The nome con-
sumption in Bonner's Ferry will
be considerable. Besides this the
British Kootenai will be a great
market. 1t is true there is a duty
of W per thousand buto facilities
for getting logs and manufacturing
them is SO much superior that we
can pay the duty and still undersell
our nelghbors across the line.
Besides the saw mill there is a
splendid opening for single mill
sash and door factory and a box
and barrel factory.
There are at this place two
splendid mill sites. In both in
stances an island in the river forms
a safe and natural boom for logs.
Everything considered, it will be
seen that Bonner's Ferry is a
splendid location for a large saw
mill plant.
There is no place in the state, and
perhaps no place in the northwest,
where the situation and necessary
materials are more advantageous
for the establishment of a pulp and
paper mill than at this point. The
essential requisites for the manufac-
ture of paper are good fibrous pulp
and good water.
The KOotenai river being wholly
a mountain stream is beyond doubt
one of the best, if not actually the
best, river in the state for that pur-
pose. Its waters are clear, soft and
free from mineral matter.
Cottonwood is universally con-
coded to be the best wood for pulp.
as its fiber is fine and exceedingly
tough, and being comparatively
white requires but little bleaching.
At this point, and for a distance
both up and down the river, the
supply of good, sound cottonwood
is practically inexhaustible, and the
peculiar nature of the climate here
renders the texture of the wood
more valuable for pulp than that
Of any other part of the country.
In that portion of the country
west of Salt Lake and north of
Portland there are no paper or pulp
mills, and in that vast section not
of the paper used is man

There is a different atmosphere
in the senate's gallery from
that of the house. There is something
akin to dignity. The tone of voice in
which the juicy story is told is modu-
lated and modified. and no encourage
ment whatever is given to boisterous
hllarity; mirth is none the less genuine
because it is modest. Even the Jokes of
the immortal Col. William Sterrett, the
humorist from Texas,are usually vented
in modulated tones. The senate writ

older correspondents those who set
more store by the manner than the
matter of their compositions.

crowd is as sharp, as cutting and as
concise as that of the house, but il
is expressed in more subdued tones.

portraits represent the newest common
places of modern journalism-men of
whom NOBODY outside of the press
galleries has ever heard or ever will
near. They are merely the every day
reporters of the daily newspapers of the
country; men without genius, and with
no history Of deeds done or thoughts
created such as give wings to the am
bltl0ns of young aspirants for journal
iStic honorS.
Passing through the main room one
enters the cloak rooms and closets. The

fortably with lounges, divans, and easy

the members. and is the best location
for seeing and hearing what passes in

DEMOCRATIC GALLERY.
The house press gallery, like the
house itself, is Democratic. free and
easy, and entirely unconventional. The

perfectly at home, particularly if he is
capable of telling good story or max
