One delegate to the Baltimore
Christian Endeavor convention
brought along his wife, three small
children and a parrot, the whole
party having travelled 100 miles,
while another delegate brought a
hound attached to him by a chain.
Germany is ahead in novelties of
a charitable nature. In the town
of Haschmann prizes are offered
yearly for the men who will marry
the ug1iest and most crippled
women, and for the women over
40 years who have been Tilted at
least twice. The money was left
by a big hnanC,er who, realizing
that beauty is an attraction hard to
made provision in his
will that out of the income of the
fund not less than 500 shall go
with the ugliest girls in any year,
and the cripple shall receive 500.

Robbers.

There was one robbery and one
attempt at robbery last Tuesday
night. The successful effort was
at Hoagland's Meat Market. In
this instance the building was en-
tered by cutting wire screen on the
doors. The cash box was relieved
of about five dollars in coin, which
had been left on hand to make
change with.
The other effort was made in the
bar room of the Hotel Bonner,
John Dolan, proprietor. While
Jerry Dore was showing guests to
their rooms, the bar room having
been locked, the place was entered
from the kitchen. Finding the cash
register locked, the robber, or rob-
bers, carried the register into the
kitchen, but were evidently inter
rupted in their efforts to open it,
by the return of Mr.. Dore, and
they flew without securing its
contents.
Mr.. Dore, on returning, found
that the bar room was locked from
the inside. This aroused his sus-
picicns, and, gaining admission, he
found the cash register gone. He
gave the alarm and an investiga-
ton showed the facts as above
stated. The robbers were not APP
pretended.

Street improvements.

The town trustees have put on a
grading force to improve the streets.
The work has been started on Koo-
tenai street, West of Main, between
T. J. Hollingcr's store and the
Hotel Casey. Eonner street, West
of Main, will also receive some at
tention. On both of these streets
the intention is to commence at
the grade of Main street and fill
back sufficiently to give on easy
approach to Main. The approaches
are now very steep. Cottage av-
enue will also receive some i'm
provements, carrying the grade
through on a level, or nearly so.
In addition to the above the town
has been doing some extensive
work on the street running East
towards the mill and Crossport.
There Improvements are needed,
and it is gratifying that the town
has funds to carry them out. We
understand that there is about
$4,000 in the treasury.

THE ALAMO COLONY
And the New Religious Movement
in the West.

By Rev. A R. Adams, \. n.
Since founding the "Alamo Col
ony" and inaugurating a new
religious movement few months
ago, we have received a number of
inquiries concerning our work and
the doctrines of the New Church.
To correct a popular error allow
me to say that we de not claim to
be the founders of new church or
or new denomination, but our
purpose is to restore to the world
in faith, in spirit and practice, the
religion of Christ and his Apostles
as found on the pages of the New
Testament. Hence we have aban-
doned all human creeds and books
of discipline and hold the Sacred
Scriptures as given of God to meet
all the purposes of a guide to oul
faith, rule for our life, and a law
for the government of the church
We call upon Christiane every
where to abandon those things
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1905-09-30

such as human names, human
creeds, and human societies, which
have kept the religious world divid-
ed, and join with us in a movement
to answer the prayer OF our Saw
Tor that we may all be one "as
Thou Father art in me und | in
Thee.
This body of religious people is
known simply as "Tle Church.,
and we believe that our mission is
not only to prepare man for the
life that is to come. but also to
help them in the life that Low is,
to clothe the hacked, feed the hun
cry, lift up the fallen, educate the
orphan, and furnish work for the
unemployed. With this object in
view we have purchased 5000 acres
OF land in Kootenai county, Idaho
and established a colony where we
will gladly receive whatsoever may
come. Here we are sheltered from
the storms and fierce turmoils OF
the world. Here we live as one
great family and have all things
common as in the days of Christ
and the Apostles.

may earn, after paying expenses
and interest charges.
The HERALD would urge that
any fair proposition that will in
sure waterworks for Boomers Ferry
should receive the most liberal
consideration at the hands. of the
business men of the town. To be
frank about it, the situation in
Bonners Ferry is a most serious
one, when the danger of fire is
considered. Boomers Ferry has
been very lucky. There have been
no serious fires for a number of
years, and people have been lullcd
into a sense of security, not profit
ing by the sad experience of other
towns. The manner in which the
business district is built makes the
danger very great. 1t is needless
tor the HERALD to call attention to
the disaster that might follow if
fire should get under way with
out a water system to fight it. The
outlook for the town is very bright
now, but bad fire would put it
back in the old rut. Then, the
matter of insurancc-it is claimed
that the present, almost prohibitive
rate could be materially reduced,
if we had good water system.
For these reasons the HERALD
would suggest that our citizens
give the subject of waterworks the
most liberal consideration. 1t is
not unlikely that Mr.. Reynoud has
good investment to offer you, but
also a proposition that means
much TO the safety of your business.

The following newspaper clip
pings hit the nail squarely on the
head, as regards the political sit
uation. A great many Of Mr.. Bo-
rah's warmest friends are more
than disguised at the manner in
which some newspaper friends
accompany their support of his
candidacy with vile, unjust, and
uncalled for abuse of other public
men in the state. The HERALD is
of the opinion that rule or ruin
program is not going to help Mr.
Borah's candidacy. The comments
we refer to are as follows:
Evidently w. e. Borah is TAX
ing advantage of the Portland Or
egonian's animosity towards Ida
hos representatives in congress to
boom himself for a seat in the U.
s. senate. Mr.. Borah had better
look to his home newspapers for
support instead of placing himself
in the hands of the splenetic
Oregonian. Hepburn and French
like all men in public office, are
open to criticism, but there is no
danger of prison doors opening to
receive them like some men whom
the Portland paper supported in
the past. Borah may be all the
Oregonian claims for him, but he
will find fulsome praise from old
Harvey Scott high at any price"
The foregoing taken from the
Idaho Mountaineer expresses blunt
ly what a great many Idaho papers
have limited softly. We think it is
all very unjust to Mr.. Borah, but
somehow he seems to be very un-
fortunate in the character of his
newspaper boomers. Those that
boom Mr.. Borah too often accom-
pany their eulogiums of him with
abuse of Others. That makes it
look as though Mr.. Borah were
responsible for the spleen as well
as the praise. In the present case,
Mr.. Borah did not seek Harvey
Scott's "fulsomc praise" neither
did he do anything to provoke
SCOTS contemtible attack on Ida.
hos congressional delegation
Moreover, that same Scott was moi
inspired by admiration of Borat
when he wrote his Mandatory ar.
ticlcs. 1t was hatred of Heyburr
that moved him. 1t is ungcnerous
and altogether unfair in any sense
to hold Mr.. Borah responsible
for what fool and malicious news
papers say about him.-Caldwel
Tribune.

Kootenai Valley Sweet Potatoes.

Each season develops some new
product that can be produced in
KoOtenai Valley that was supposed
to be raised only in a southern
cline. Now comes NJ. NJ. Fry with
a demonstration thatsweet potatoes
can be successfully grown here.
Mr.. Fry brought to the HERALD
office yesterday a sweet potatoe
vine with six well-developed sweet
potatoes attached, produced on his
place on the Northside, just across
the river from Boomers Ferry.
These sweet potatoes were grown
in new, unfertilized soil, with no
special care and attention, Just as
an experiment. Mr.. Fry declares
that he will raise sweet potatoes
next year as a regular product,
and believes that, with little care,
they can be grown quite success
fully.
He also brought in a box OF
strawberries that were quite a nov
city, in as much as they were pro-
duccd from this years runners

Found Idaho Alright.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo, r. Gray re-
turned from a ten-days trip to the
coast last Tuesday morning. They
visited the Exposition for several
days, and enjoyed the balance of
the time in the Sound cities.
They are enthusiastic in their
commentator of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and were very
much gratifed to find Idaho so
well represented in the various
displays. The Idaho building was
one of the finest on the grounds,
and the display of grains was far
ahead of any of the states in artistic
arrangement. In general, Idaho
looms up at the exposition as a
very important commonwealth,
and her exhibit is in keeping with
her Importance in material wealth
and social advancement. The Ida
no commission is entitled to great
credit.
They had a very pleasant trip,
interspersed with many amusing
incidents. They relate a story of an
old gentleman from Massachusetts
who was viewing the forestry exhi-
bit. He stood with open-mouthed
wonder as he gazed upon specimens
OF the giants of our forests, and he
soliloquized thus;
"Wonderful! Wonderful Won
derIul~ A pause. "But the Am
erican people will spoil their forests
they spoil everything-they
would spoil Heavenw A long

MUST CONSIDER
WATER WORKS
Spokane Parties offer Proposition Offering
Solution to the Problem

+ The water works problem for
Boomers Ferry is still being figured
upon. Alex M. Winston and Myron
M. Falson, of Spokane, are ready
to undertake the enterprise if they
can get some financial assistance
from Boomers Ferry. The situation
as stated by their representative,
j. F. Reynoud, is this: They have
invested $4,000 in Boomers Ferry
in an electric light plant. They
have left some $4,000 to $1,000 that
they are willing to put into Bon
ners Ferry, in a water system.
They require $4,000 or $4,000 more,
This sum they want Boomers Fer
ry people to subscribe.
To explain further, they state
that the cost of system of water
works for Boomers Ferry will be
10000. Ii half this sum, or $780,
900, can be raised by themselves
and locally, they can secure the
other $4,000 needed to carry out
the enterprise.
They propose to finance the en-
terprise as follows: They will
capitalize for $4,000. Against this
they will issue $4,000 in s per
cent bonds. 1t is these s per cent
bonds that they ask Boomers Ferry
citizens to subscribe ior. The
promoters propose that for every
dollars worth of bonds subscribed
for, the subscriber shall receive a
bonus of fifty cents in stock. The
subscriber is therefore to receive a
profit of 8 per cent on his bonds
and any dividends that the stock

has been busy getting the material

the adding of another engine the

Mr.. Reynoud informs the HER
AID that he expects to have the

1t will be real delight to have
the town lighted up with electricity

would produce berries at this sea-

For Pretty Teeth.

"a pearl in the mouth is worth two
on the neck" is an up-to-datc adage
which women would do we'll to ponder
over. A woman of many charms will
often fail of impression If her teeth
are not delicately clean and whole.
There are many factors which go to
determine the soundness of ones
teeth. but none more potent than that
Of use. Good vigorous action is neces-
sary in order that supply of blood
may be called to the teeth to nourish
them. says Woman's Life. Give mus
Gle no exercise and the veriest novice
knows it will get soft. Give the teeth
NO work and they become chalky and
m easy prey to decay. Too much
cooking of food and the use Of soft,
prepared dishes have had much to do
with getting people out of the habit
Of chewing. Those who live on coarse
foods requiring thorough mastication
have the perfect teeth Of animals,
white and hard and even. The blood
supply is perfect on account Of the
stimulation given by thorough exercise
OF the jaws.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.
Prehistoric Belle Was Fearful Of What
the Remote Future Might
Know of Her.

Miss Yaya Cli6dweller was primping
herself proudly before mirror formed
by a crystal spring. Though 80, this
prehistoric belle was good to look upon,
more especially now with her hair
tastefully smeared with cave bear oil
and the wishbone of an ostrichosaurus
stuck jauntily through her nose, relates
the New York Sun.
'Ah, Miss Yaya," explained Cholly-
wog Stonehatchet, admiringly, ''you
look beautiful, and SO young, 80 very
young!"
At this Miss Yaya burst into tears and
coquettishly SHE'D a rock at her adj
mirer's head.
Il know look young" she pouted,
petulantly, "but I'm worrying about the
future! have a premonition that a
thousand aeons from now some bald
headed American professor will dig up
my fossil remains and say to his class:
This lady was of the jurassic age!''
where's the harm in that?" asked
Stonehatchet, innocently.
"Harm!" shrieked Miss Yaya. do
you know that the jurassic age covers a
million years? The idea of exaggerat-
ing lady's age in that manner!"
But then the prehistoric maiden dim
pied again sweetly when Stonehatchet,
tactful society man that he was, con-
soled her with the reflection that sci.
entists would not refer to her as an
'told maid" but rather as . bachelor

Increased Traffic.

Increased cotton shipments to
Japan indicate a revival of trade con-
ditions in the Orient. Japan mixes
American cotton with the product
from India in manufacturing yarns
for japanese and Manchurian mar
kets.
Through control of the Burlington,
President Hill is carrying immense
quantities of cotton across the terri
tory traversed by the Hartman lines
and is bringing it to Puget sound
over the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
Heavy cotton shipments during
February made the Puget sound dis
trict the fifth in cotton shipments.
Similar shipments are continuing
through March and April. In the
Tacoma yards are 400 cars of cotton,
500 carloads more are en- route over
the Northern Pacific, and that roads
Oriental warehouses are piled high
with thousands of bales. Recent
heavy shipments via Puget sound
show that the Hill roads are carry
ign more cotton west than the Harri-
man lines.
