TO KEEP CHILDREN FROM THEATRES.
Brooklyn Police Ordered to See That Law Is
Strictly Enforced.

Acting on complaint OF the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children Of Brooklyn
Borough Inspector Cross has issued a general
order to all the police commanders in Brooklyn and
Queens to see that the law against allowing chill
dren under sixteen years OF age to attend theatr-
cal performances, unless accompanied by their
parents or guardians is strictly enforced. They
have been told tell the managers of the theatres
the law must be observed, and notices to that
effect have been posted in the playhouses.
Although many attempts have been made to en-
force the law since ii enacted. they have all
ended in failure, and the law has not been observed
at all recently. The great trouble is that there is
always kindly disposed person who is willing
TO pose the parent guardian at the request Of
the Urchins.

to not handle for sale any butter

next. | believe this will raise the
standard OF butter and if John Doe
does not make as good butter as
John Smith, it will soon be found
out and Mr.. Doe will have TO &C
out of business as butter maker.
No butter maker should be
ashamed to brand his butter, and
if he will stop TO think he can not
help but see that nice clean-cut
attractive brand will help sell his
butter, just the same that a nice
fancy brand helps to sell other
goods. The aim of the law is t.
raise the standard for dairy prod
ucts and give the producer a chanc'
to protect his products against al
inferior class of goods.
The only means we have of get
ting this before the general publ
is through the medium of the press

kOOTENAI VALLEY
MAY BE RECLAIMED
There is sle,ooo,o-o in Il and Il Looks Good
to e. j. Roberts of the s. @ !. RY.

E. ]. Roberts, superintendent Of
construction Of the Spokane & In
ternational Railway, is interesting
himself in the reclamation of the
oveshow lands in the Kootenai
Valley. This is important from
two material standpoints- first,
Mr. Roberts judgement as an en-
gineer is worth o great deal, and,
second, he has the ear OF the fin
ancial public.
Mr.. Roberts is man who deals
with big enterprises. There are
millions in the Kootenai Valley
reclamation project and it attracts
an engineer of Mr.. Roberts ability.
There are 10000 acres of over
flow lands in the Kootenai Valley.
1t is conceded that this land, from
its great fertility, is easily worth
500 an acre, when reclaimed. 1t
figures out, therefore, to be $751;
900, 900 proposition.
Mr.. Roberts has had his atten-
ton directed to the subject moro
particularly stree becoming inter
ested in the Spokane & Interns-
tional Railway. He reasons that
il this land, now worth but a few
dollars an acre as wild meadow
land, could be saved from its an
nual inundation, and made to be
worth 800 an acre, the valley
would be filed with people and
would be teeming with agricultural
industry. This would mean big
revenue for the Spokane & Inter
national. He has given the sub
ject a good deal of thought and
investigation, and already has
plans for its accomplishment. He
believes that much may be accom-
plished by widening the narrows a
the outlet of Kootenai Lake. Thii
could be done, as he says, withou
interfering with the water power a
points lower down. He would

WARNING TO BUTTER MAKERS.
Commissioner Hit gives them until
Sept. /, to procure Labels.

Boise, Idaho, July 6, 1905.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir-I wish to call the at
tention OF the public, and especial
ly the butter-making part of the
population, to the requirements of
the new law governing the branding
or labelling OF butter or butter
wrappers.
A part of section 10 OF the new
Pure Food law reads: "All butter
sold or offered for sale within the
state shall have the name of the
manufacturer and place of man.
ufacture stamped upon the label"
A portion Of section 20 reads
Each package OF butter offered or
exposed for sale shall have stamped
uponthe wrapper or the package, the
actual number OF ounces cantained
in said package. Each square or roll
of butter kept, exposed or offered fol-
sale in the State of Idaho, which is
represented TO contain one pound
in weight, shall contain full sixteen
ounces; and a square or roll rep
resenting two pounds in weight
shall contain thirty-two ounces
All butter which has been packed
in tubs, firkins or other vessels shall
be known as stub butter" and wher
placed upon the market for salt
shall have stamped upon it, Of
if wrapped, upon the wrapper, il
addition to the above, the world
Tub Butter" in one-half incl
Roman letters.
The above law includes all butte
whether creamery, dairy, separate
or ranch butter. wish TO state tina
the use of coal tar dye colorinl
} material in butter is prohibited b.
law.
The law does not state as 10 tn
kind of brand that shall be used
but we shall insist upon a brand Q
type, and the ink used shall be Of
quality that will not run" or &
through the wrappers into the but

same.

A new Steamer.

Captain Gore, superintendent OF
the c. p. r Co.'s steamers in Koo-
tensy, has received instructions to
build new steamer to ply between
Nelson and Kootenay Landing,
which for speed and equipment will
surpass any fresh water steamer in
British Columbia. The captain,
who will have entire charge of the
construction, says provision will be
made to sleep rs frst-class pas
sengers, which means that the boat
will be much larger than the Ross
land, now plying on the Arrow
Lakes between West Robson and
Arrowhead The specifications call
for a speed of lS miles an hour
This will cut down the present
schedule time from Nelson to Koo
tenay Landing from five hours t.
three. Indeed, Captain Gore says
she will be able to make it in two
hours and three-quarters. AS re
suit, passengers will be able t
sleep in Nelson and leave at leas
two hours later than at present
The cost of the new steamer is no
definitely stated, but'it will run VI
into six fgures.-Moyie Leader.

New Store Bnilding.

T. J. Hollinger, the dry goods

commence the immediate construct
ion of a new store building on his
corner lot. This is probably the
best business location in the town
for a store. The building will be
3OxS0, and have five plate glass
front. Mr. Hollinger's growing
business compels him to seek larger
quarters. His store is packed from
floor to ceiling, and still there il
not room. T. J. has a big stock OF
the pubfic's good will and they will
rejoice at his prosperity. He will
have big sale preparatory to the
change.

widen the channel two, three, Four
or FIVE times It's present size at the
narrows, as might be required
This he believes would allow the
water to flow out OF the lake As
fast as it ran I'M instead Of allow
ing the lake to ill up, causing q
back-water for miles up the river
With the lake remaining at nor
NAL highth, there would be good
current between Bonners Ferry and
the head. The water would run
off, instead OF the river and lake
becoming congested, causing an
overflow. AS 70 expense, it would
not be great compared to the mag
nitude of the results to follow
success. Mr.. Roberts states that
all the earth 10 be moved can be
handled by steam shovels, the
composition being mostly sand and
gravel.
In this connection it may be of
interest to know that Chas. G..
Reeder, OF Spokane, who is pro-
badly the largest individual land
owner in the Kootenai Valley, has
purchased the land on both sides of
the narrows so that if capital can
be secured to undertake the work,
there will be no question about
the right to cut the land away.
The capital necessary to accom-
plish the work may be supplied
largely through the agency of the
Canadian Pacific Railway and h
Spokane e. International Railway.
Mr.. Roberts, in discussing the sub
ject with the HERALD, stated that
Mr.. CorbipI wonld bring the matter
to the attention Of the C. P. R. and
invite Joint effort.
When these great companies be
come interested in such an enter
prise, results may be expected
Great would be the Kootenai Val
j ley if its overflow lands could b
reclaimed.
