Big mills are going up, giving EN-

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 most important towns in the
otote of Idaho.
1t has no rival, either present or
pros pective, in al area as large as
the State of Rhode Island.
T. 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
ofnayigation on the I[cotenai River,
and at the junction Of the proposed
Spokane d international Railway
with the Great Northern,
The resources Of the countrY tri-
butary to Boomers Ferry are rich
and varied laundering has already
materialized as a great industry,
but Agriculture, Stock Raising
Fruit Culture, Dairying, and Min
ing are 10y no means unimportant,
at this siege Of development, and
are certain ID 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.
reas OF other valuable timbers such
as Yellow Pine. Cedar, Fir and
Tamlrack. Koo.onai 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 yet
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
ny to be manufactured, as there are
no available mill sites along that
stream until Boomers Ferry is
reached
Boomers Ferry and the country
tributary offers splendid opportun-
tiles to homeseckers 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 ranches.

NOTES FROM ALAMO COLONY.
Written for the Herald by a Member
of the Colony.

1t is learned from Lewis Cooper.
General Manager of the Alamo Co
operative Colony, located on what
is commonly known as the Ball
ranch, that active operations are
now i'm progress for the reception
OF members OF the Colony, who are
anxious to join their leader, Bishop
Mclnturff, Just as soon as arrange
ments can be made to accommodate
them. At present the membership
is limited ON account OF the lack of
houses, but this will soon be OBJ
waited by the advent OF saw mill
with which to turn out lumber to
erect residences.
The management are now nego-
tiating for machinery with which
to operate creamery which will
be OF the latest modern design. The
creamery will be in charge of men
who thoroughly understand the
manufacture of the product, and no
expense or effort will be spared to
place a frst-class article ON the
market. Bishop McInturff is on
the ground with his family He
brought with him from his ranch
near Spokane a number OF fine
stock which added very materially
to the number ON hand. He will
spend the summer at the colony.
and will devote as much time as
possible from his Evangelistic work
to the promotion and welfare OF
the colony In the meantime the
active SUPPLEMENTARY of the work
will be under the supervision of
Mr.. Lewis Cooper, who has proven
himself the right man in the right
place.
The shipment of wood has begun
and will be increased as rapidly as
new members Of the colony arrive.
There are some fairly good houses
on the ranch, and these will be
placed in proper repair shortly
The Bishop has a reputation for
succeeding in anything that he
undertakes, and as he is a liberal,
broad minded man in his views
and practice, there seems to be no
doubt of brilliant future for the
colony. With all working in har-
mony and for the good OF all, and
in a cause that has for its object
the bottermcnt and elevation OF
humanity, there is no reason why
the colony should not prove a great
/ success. The Bishop understands
human nature thoroughly, and in
consequence of this will be able to
avoid all friction and entangle.

Can't. skinner,s Goose.

Captain Skinner was in Easton the
latter part of last week and related Il
remarkable story concerning goose
on his farm. He states that he is in
the habit of counting his geese and put
ting them in the stable every night.
but on the night Of the great blizzard
one goose was missing and could not
be accounted for until few days ago.
when he was shoveling pile OF snow
out of his stable yard at the rear OF
his barn. AS he reached the bottom
of the drift his shovel struck against
something soft. Upon investigation
he located his missing goose, which
had been covered up in the snow Tor
more than six weeks without anything
to eat or drink. He states that the
goose was still alive, but very gaunt
and weak from the exposure ana ap-
stineuce from food. He took the goose
TO the house and cared for it n day or
so feeding judiciously. 1t thrived ana
became very hearty, and was able TO
ioin the balance of the flock. from
which 1t had been separated for nearly
two months.-Easton iMd) Ledger.
