Senator Hepburn sends Documents.

The HERALD received a number
of documents, bulletined by the
agricultural department of the u
S. government, through the court
esy of Senator Hepburn. All our
farmer friends and those interested
in scientific research are invited to
call and make use OF such Of them
as they are interested in. The
pamphlets cover every branch in
the science of agriculture, horti-
culture and kindred occupations.
The experiment stations have a
high rate of reputation for thor.
ough research, and are in condi-
ton to to give many a wise and
effective hint, which will tighten
some burdens, and in other cases
double the profits. All these docu-
ments may be had for the asking
and writing to Senator Hepburn
personally who will be pleased tc
accommodate.

LUMBER INDUSTRY
PIT BONNERS FERRY
The Boomers Ferry Lumber Company Manufac-
lures over 100, 900 feet of Lumber Daily.

The Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.
completed their log drive last Sat
urday aud now have above $780,
600 feet in the boom at the mill.
The company had a very success
full drive this year, with no loss
whatever. The treacherous Koot-
cnai has been completely harness
ed, and the system of catching and
holding the logs is perfect. The
quality of logs cut the past season
will grade very high and the boom
presents a very interesting sight.
The timber supply is almost in
exhaustable. Up to the present
time the logs have been cut along
the Kootenai above Boomers Ferry
the country being timbered fol-
more than 100 miles and extend
ing up to the International line
This season, however, the Com
pany will commence supplying
themselves with logs from dowr
tina river also. They will hau
these logs in from off the line o
the Kootenai Valley Railway il
cars. They have graded side
track from a connection with thu
Great Northern so that the log
can be rolled from the cars into
the boom at the mill. The frs
contract let under this arrange
ment has been awarded to Ed Gil
son g. Co., for 100000 feet.
About 100 men are employed il
and around the mill at the presen
time. 1t is not unlikely that thi
number will be doubled by anothe
year, as it is entirely probable tina
the output will soon be double
and the plant enlarged. The pa
roll of this establishment will a.
ways be an important factor i
Boomers Ferry's prosperity. TIL

few. In fact there are few towns
in the state that have "any edge"
over Boomers Ferry.
The Boomers Ferry Lumber
Company is running the plant
night and day this year, and cut
ting from 100000 to 10000 daily.
The product is mostly yellow and
white pine and cedar, of a very ex-
eel 'ent quality. 1t finds a ready
market, a great deal of it being
shipped to the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Nebraska.
The plant and yards already
present an attractive appearance.
Only two years ago the site was a
wilderness. Now the brush and
trees have been cleared away, and
the grounds leveled off and graded
up.
The buildings are substantial
and we'll adapted for their purpose.
The saw is double band, and all
the machines are of the latest and
most modern pattern. Beside the
saw mill proper, there is large
planer run in connection, also two
dry kilns. Every product known
to an up-to-date mill is turned out,
The plant is lighted at night by
its own electric light service.
A. L. Rickerd is general mana
ger of the company. The present
fine condition of the plant and
yards are due to his management
and the unfolding of future plans
that Mr.. Rickerd has in mind fol
still greater operations may be dis
covered by the observing eye by
visiting the plant.
Mr.. Rickerd always display
good judgment in selecting his as
sistants whether in the Office. a
the mill, or in the camps, ant
they, too, are entitled to much ere
dit for the success of the operation
of the Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.

Games of Chance must cease

Since the construction of the
new railroad was anticipated,
some games we're run in this place
and nickel in the slot machines
were also in vogue in the saloons.
But all this was of short duration.
About a week ago all those in any
way interested in gambling, were
notified by Sheriff Doust and At
torney Whitla that they must stop
at once. The mandate was obey
ed quickly, gaming rooms were
closed up and the slot machines
were turned face to the wall
Most of the fraternity of chance
have since left these parts for pas
lures new.

DEATH OF DR.. T. A. BISHOP
Well-known and Highly Respected
Citizen Passes Away.

1t becomes our sad duty this
week to chronicle the death of DR..
Thomas A. Bishop. For fourteen
years the doctor had been a resid-
ent of Boomers Ferry and his pass
ing away casts gloom over the
entire community where he had
lived so long. DIR. Bishop was an
upright citizen and his many good
qualities had won for him a warm
place in the hearts of his neigh
bOrs.
Although death was not unex-
pected since the doctor was first
stricken down some three weeks
ago, yet the announcement came
as no less shock to the COM
munity. He was large, robust
appearing man, and until a few
weeks ago appeared in the prime
of health and manhood and it is
hard to realize that he is no more
The direct cause of death was
due to what the medical fraternity
term septic endocarditis, a disease
of the heart. 1t is not a chronic
disease, however, but is always
fatal. The physicians were no
able to determine the cause. Tn,
doctor was afflicted with Bright
disease and it may have sprung
from the weakening effects of tina
disease in his system. The Bright
trouble was not a direct cause o
death, and the physicians say h
might have lived many years 8
far as that ailment was concerned
The end came last Wednesda,
night, at Spokane, where he ha
been taken 10 the hospital. Hi
faithful wife was by his sid
through all his illness and at tn
end.
The funeral will be held toda,
and will be conducted by the Ma
sonic order, assisted by the othe
orders OF which the deceased was
member, which included Knight
of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Woo,
