Ranching interests.

1 ne resources OF tne country sur
rounding Bonners Ferry are in its
tim ber, ranches and mines.
The timber resources are men
toned elsewhere. AS to agricul-
ture, the Kootenai Valley is one of
the most fertile and attractive III
the Northwest. 1t is from three 20
five miles wide and so miles lorg.
There are many broad meadows
utilized for hay land and ranching.
Some Of the best ranching land is
found along the foothills. Almost
every variety of crops can be raised,
but gardening and fruit raising
have proven the most profitable,
owing to the demand for these pro-
ducts in the mining camps, where
all products of the ranch bring
prices that in eastern states would
seem fabulous. The mines of the
Kootenai country, the last but not
least resource to be named, are
famed world wide and need no
special mention in these columns.
The bench land ranches are now
coming into prominence and popu-
larity. This quality of land is
vast in extent. An Iowa colony
has located 5000 acres Of such land.
Incidentally speaking fruit cul
ture is receiving great attention.
Apples, pears, plums. peaches,
apri cots and all the small fruits
thrive. The quality of the fruit
is fine and the quantity is all that
could be asked, as has been demon
strated by actual results. AS an
instance, last year one gentleman
sold over 800 worth of Strawberries
from one quarter Of an acre of
ground.
Stock raising and the dairy bust
ness is also profitable. Ranchers
have not sold a pound of butter in
Ronners Ferry in the last year for
less than % cents, and ranch eggs
bring Is cents per dozen.
There are thousands of acres of
railroad and government land
! suitable for agriculture yet 20 be
had; railroad land can be had verv
cheap and on easy payments
Government land may be home
steaded, and the settler can file be-
fore u S. Commissioner Chas
O'Callaghan, at Boomers Ferry
who will always take an interest in
: supplying settlers with information
The u S. Land Office is located
, at Occur d Alene, Idaho, and the
officers are, Col. d. H. Budlong
Register and Hon. {. ID. Warner
Receiver. They are eccommoda
ting officials for the settlers t.
transact business with.
All products find ready marke
alta good price, The mining camps
within easy reach furnish a HON,
market.
The climate of the Kootena
country is remarkably mild con
sidering the latitude. This is de
monstrated by the tender fruit
that may be raised here. 1t is no
an unsual thing for the thermome
ter not to get below zero the Who'll
winter through.

New Instrument Designed TO Make Telephone
Girls Life Endufabe

The New England Telephone & Tel
egraph 80. has introduced a new in
strumcnt in its local office by which
it will De possible for angels to come
out of even a telephone office. 1t is Il
common saying among telephone peo-
pie that six months in a telephone Of
flee will spoil the most angelic temper
of any one who wears shirt waists and
skirts. People who are perfect gentle
men under ordinary conditions think
they have 4 perfect right to kick at
the telephone girl. Sometimes the
kicks are passed lightly over, while
again they cut deeper than a knife
one Of the most common kicks set up
is against a charge for speaking longer
than the company allows under the
present rules.
Everybody seems to regard the tele-
phone girl as 4 person in league with
a corporation and frequent are the
complaints that the person has not
talked as long as the central says. The
new instrument to prevent this kick
is a combination of clock ana type
writer.
Near one of the operators is placed
a machine that might he taken for a

nections are made for a conversation
on which there is a time limit. a slip
Of paper is placed in the machine and

With this arrangement there can be
no possibility of disputing the time.
and the life of the telephone girl is re-
lirVcd of one more burden.

BUT LITTLE cAMAGE UONE.
Department Called to Extirguish Grass Fire
on Gage Street.

A grass fire. set by "A passing loco
motive, Wednesday morning. called the
fire department to Gage street. Soon
after train 81. due here at 9.35. passed
through. volumes of smoke We're seen
issuing from the rear of the house
owned by Mrs. James ID. Brooks at Al
Gage street. The fire was wholly in
the grass at the banking. but il was
spreading with such rapidity that fears
were entertained that the shed would
he fired.
An alarm was pulled in from box 3
by Fred f. Jenkins. The fire whistle
responded with but one blast, as a
lever at the whistle that drops when
the alarm is given failed to return. but
was stuck in the fork. The register
ut the engine house. however. worked
all right. The majority of people
thought that the alarm was but the
blast from the steamboat and no at
tention was paid to it. The first Of
their being aroused was when Hose 2
dashed up the street.
Alec McCausland. the driver of Hose
|, was on the street at work with the
sprinkler, but as Chief Kicker knew
where the fire was, he directed that
but one hose cart go to the fire. y
time the fire was eXtinguished. 1t IS
thought the fire caught by n spark
from a locomotive as the grass was
very dry. The damage done was of
but little consequence.
