has n nose for news, and sized the
situation up to a fine point, seeing
many things that others can not
see when pointed out to them. His
glimpse at the future o: Bonners
Ferry was also strong, and is here
with produced:
Commercially, Boomers Ferry is
prospecting as il never prospered
before, The sawmills near the town
are doing an enormous business.
The mercantile companies are wide
awake and have captured the lions
share D. contracts f5r supplying the
grading camps. Farming in the
valley is enjoy ing an exceptionally
prosperous year. Land values are
going up by bounds. 1t was said
by prominent real estate man that
40 acre farm Of uaimprove ! llnl
held by Spokane city official has
increased in value from $40 an acre
to 500 an acre within the past
three years. The tract is near town,
Meadow lands are in demand and
are steadily growing in value. Bus
mess property is also commanding
goou pricss,
Bonners Ferry is expecting to be
the trade center and distributive
point for the country along the new
Corbin Dad and for 30 miles to the
north and an equal distance to the
west 1t also draws Il steadily
growing trade from the adjacent
territory along the Great Northern
road.
An important item in the future
Of the town is likely to cOmc from
the mines, Placer mines are being
worked successfully along the Mo-
vie, and there is steadily growing
interest in quartz mining to the
north.
With these conditions confront
ing them, many Of the people Of
Bonners Ferry regard gambling,
saloons and dance halls ~ subjects
worthy of but secondary oonsidera-
ton. The town is riveting its in
terests on natural growth.

One More R. R. Connection for Ferry

One More R. R, Connection for Ferry.
There is a growing feeling that
it is in the cards for another
railroad to get into this county,
says the Western News, Of Libby,
Mont. " nile there is a slight diff
ference between rumor and actual
construction, yet, according to
those whose judgment is considered
good in many other matters. the
chances for the construction CT an
other line. which may prove to be
a portion Of Il transcoutinental line.
are good.
According to this report the line
will begin at Basin, a town between
Helena and Butte or the Great
Northern, and will run from that
place to Elliston, a town on the
Northern Pa,ihc just west Of the
Mullan tunnel and thence follow
ing a'ural water courses to the
Flataead valley, coming into the
latter along the Swan river. This
will tap the richest al d most i'm.
tottant valley in Montana.
From Kalispell the proposed
route will continue west, passing
through Libby and making a con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific
at Boomers Ferry, The distance
from Basin to Kalispell will be
about 200 miles, from Kalispell to
Libby 100 miles and from Libby to
Boomers Ferry 30 miles. Thus, a
branch line $50 miles long will let
the Canadian Pacific into some of
the richest agricultural land in
Montana and in addition will give
IL at road an opportunity to get a
share Of the immense traffic
originating at Butte, Anaconda aud
other Montana points.
There is reason TO believe that
the construction of such a line is
practical, that there is enough bLs-
mess TO justify its construction
and there can be but slight reas 1
to doubt its construction. as Their,
is plenty of money for all kinds Of
investment if it can be shown tn,
investments are good.

The business of ferreting out and de-
stroying Illicit stills and of prosecuting
moonshiners is in the hands of the rev.
enue agents. who are under the direc-
ton Of chief agent located in Wash

of the division and he works under the
instructions of Commiasionar Yerkes
For the purpose of this work the entire
country is divided into sixteen districts.

Some of these agents have one or more
assistants, making about thirty men en-

Congress each year appropriates s1oo 00o

and Is used for the payment of rewards,

Dangerous Business to Break Up.
In 1904 there were LOIS Illicit stills
seized and 391 moonshiners arrested
During the preceding year 1900 stills
were seized and 1888 arrests were made,
and from these figures. together with
the fact that there has been Il very
material decrease in seizures and ar
rests for several years past. 1t is argued
by the officials that moonshining Is be-
coming a lost art.
During the eight years from 1897
1854 stills We're seized by the Govern
ment officers and 700 arrests were
made. That chasing moonshiners, evel
though they operate in the large cities
as well as the mountain Businesses
is no child's play, is shown by the fact
that during these eight years seven. Off

One Of the most interesting facts ap-

large numbe- OF licenses issued on the
18th of the month, During the year
ninety-three licenses were issued to
couples on that date. most of which
Were used that same day
1t is generally thought that young
people avoid the 18th OF the month, but
this does not appear upon the records
On June 13, sixteen licenses were issued.
and on the 18th of several other months
dozen or more couples Were married.
The biggest day of the year was No

issued. This was on the day before
Thanksgiving 1t Is supposed that the

marrying that day, some on Christmas

Monday.

AS an evidence that Cupid is still

was 3.S95.
