Of 80 miles. 1t is three to five

the valley are the bench lands, the
timber lands, and, in adjacent
mountains, an undeveloped mineral

New settlers are desired in the
Kootenai Valley. They will find a
lospitable PEOPLE and every adyan

Its Bright Outlook and the Favorable Attractions
in Town and Country.

The location of Boomers Ferry is
favorable for the making of one of
the NEST important towns in the
State of Idaho
1t has no rival, either present or
prospective, in al area as large as
the State of Rhode Island.
l. is situated in the North Cen
trail part of Kootenai, which is
swiftly moving up to a position as
tie Empire county Of the State.
1t is located at the junction of
the Great Northern and Kootenai
Valley Railway, and at the head
ofnavigation on the Kootenai River,
and at the junction Of the proposed
Spokane & international Railway
with the Great Northern.
The resources Of the country tri-
butary to Bonners Ferry are rich
and varied. LAUNDERING has already
materialized as a great industry,
but Agriculture, Stock Raising
Fruit Culture, Dairy.ng, and Min
ing are by no means unimportant,
at this siege of development, and
are certain to become of very great
importance.
Idaho has tho largest and best
forests of White Pine left starding
in the world. 1t also has large a.
.eas OF other valuable tim bers such
as Yellow rine. Cedar, Fir and
1amlrack Koo'cnai County is
recognized "a the leading lum ber-
ing county in the state, and the
timber tributary to Boomers Ferry
is SO immense that it has never vet
been computed. Even Montana, for a
distance of 100 miles UP the Koo-
tenai River, must send her logs
down the Kootenai to Bonners Fer
~ to be manufactured, as there are
no available mill sites along that
stream until Bonners Ferry is
reached.
Boomers Ferry and the country

Ton be abandoned or decried. 1t Is going too
far 70 say, as some are saying, that this de-
cislon deals a death blow to arbitration. We
have no doubt that the verdict will be loyally
accepted, and that both parties to the trial will
be quite ready 10 submit the next dispute to
similar tribunal
L Is disappointing, however, because It fails
to take that forward step for the protection of
neUrals and neutral rights which had been
hoped for. and which is urgently needed. Too
much attention, proportionateIy, has been paid
