"At last the goal of the ambition

Vicious, wonderful, grand and in

foot hill lands. No irrigation is re-
quired whatever. Grains do splen-
didly, but ass rule, hay, live stock,
vegetables and fruit are more val
liable, as ranching propositions,
owing to the home market. A good
idea Of the climate may be obtained
from the statement of the fact that
Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plcms,
Prunes, Apricots, Cherries and small
fruits thrive in the Kootenai Valley.
The Kootenai Valley, named af-
ter the Kootenai River, navigable
stream, 600 to 800 feet wide, ex-
tends from Boomers Ferry north
into British Columbia, a distance
of 80 miles. 1t is three to five
miles wide. There are other valley
lands along small streams. Back of
the valley are the bench lands, the
timber lands, and, in adjacent
mountains, an undeveloped mineral
cluntry.
New settlers are desired in the
Kootenai Valley. They will find a
Lospitable people and every adyan
tage of schools, churches and soci-
cites. Boomers Ferry has fine
graded school, with four depart
ments. 1t has two churches, Pres
by terrain, AMI Catholic, and another,
the Methodist Episcopal. to be
erected this year. Thsre are eight
secret fraternal organizations in the
town. The population centering
at Boz ners Ferry may be estimated
from the fact that at the last elect
ion $50 voters were registered in
Boomers Ferry precinct,
1t is a healthy country and the
climate is mild. There are no

The location of Boomers Ferry is
favorable for the making of one of
the most important towns in. the
State of Idaho.
1t has no rival, either present or
pros pective, in all 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
the Empire county of the State.
1t is located at the junction of
the Great Northern and Kootenai
Valley Railway, and at the head
ofnavigation o. 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, Dairying, and Min
ing are by no means unimportant,
at this stage OF development, and
are certain to become of very great
importance.
Idaho has the largest and best
forests of White Pine left starding
in the world. 1t also has large "a.
reas OF other valuable timbers such
as Yellow Pine. Cedar, Fir and
Tamlrack Kootonai County is
recognized as the leading lumber
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 Boomers FER
ry to be manufactured, as there are
no available mill sites along that
stream 1ntil Boomers Ferry is
reached.
Boomers Ferry and the country
tributary offers splendid cpportun-
tiles to h1meseekers and investors.
For the homeseeker there is sill
some very good government land
left, or there can be purchased at
very reasonable figures improved
and slightly improved rano hes.
The uses that our lands can be put
to depends largely upon the locat-
ion The low lands are suitable for
grazing and the plolu ltion of hay
Foot hill ranches produce most any
kind OF northern grown crops, but
are prize winners for vegetables and
fruits, which find a ready market
in tributary lumber and mining
camps. Tie next higher, or bench
lands, are slightly dryer, but other
wise are much the same in character
