ment of the hundreds of visitors
who will be our guests during
the days of the Fair. These
gentlemen have undertaken the
scheme for the benefit of the
town. They have and will man
age the affair thoroughly and
intelligently and their efforts
will be at a sacrifice of their own
personal time and attention
time which to them is valuable.
The business men of our town
should give them all assistance
possible. No one should hang
back and wait tor another to
lake the lead-these gentlemen

ne who has it to offer.
Let every man in the town
onstitute himself a committee

This is also mineral country hard

of rocks had exhibited gentle ele-

here in these mountains everything
appears to have been subverted and
thrown out of place, immense
strata of rocks jutted up into crags
and cliffs, sometimes form perpen-

An air of sterility always prevails
over the savage mountain wastes.

To the Editor.-In the subjoined
article, have, with the assistance
of Mr.. David Mclaughlin, of Port
Hill, endeavored to sketch Il few
descriptive notes pertaining to the
valley, particularly that portion
adjacent to Port Hill, believing
they might be of interest to readers
of the HERALD who have never had
an opportunity to visit this locality.
| am satisfied that the splendid
opportunities here need only to be
known to attract its due share of
immigration and capital. The val
lev of the Kootenai is one of the
important sections of the North
west. 1t is situated in the extreme
northern part of Idaho, and from
the point where the river enters
the state from Montana to where it
crosses the Inter national Boundary
Line ON the extreme north is dis
lance of about so miles. The val
lev is from four to five miles wide.
The Kootenai valley has attract
ed much attention in the past few
years, owing to its rich and varied.
but largely undeveloped resources.
II contains fine agricultural Sec
tions. The adjacent foot hills and
mountain sides are great in lumber
resources, and rich minerals have
been discovered in the tributary
country. A better combination OF
resources could not well be secured
This valley is nothing more thar
the bed of lake that existed II
prehistoric days. This is eviden
from the fact that the bottom sands
are nothing more than alluvium de

He was employed by the Erie Bridge
company. which had a force of men
engaged yesterday in making repairs
upon the structure.
In some unaccountable way the lln-
fortunate young man lost his footing
and fell. His skull was fractured and
nearly every bone in his body was
broken.
A peculiarly sad feature of his death
was the fact that he was to be mar
ried on the e5th of next month
The remains were taken in charge
by Undertaken Letchforth. who re-
moved them to his rooms, and after
ward to the mothers home, on Cherry

The Walter l.. Main all new Big

early hour yesterday morning from
Wilkes Barre. where they gave two

audiences despite the fact that a

day. The train was quickly unloaded
and what tents were absolutely needed
were erected on the Johnson Lake

The Main shows are new in their

features have been added TO the
lengthy program that have never be-
