of the expensive coal fields in the
southern part of Boone county, mas
been taken. The owners of the vari-
Gus farms in question held meeting
in the office of Attorney NJ. c. Creigh-
ton, in Madrid, recently. and completed
arrangements for the leasing of their
farm lands for coal mining purposes.
Efforts to secure the coal rights
from the owners of the different farms
have been quietly under way during
conducted by Oscar Oakleaf. over l.
300 acres have now been secured. which
is all that is necessary at this time,
altho an additional acreage will later
be necessary.
The meeting held was for the pur-
pose of talking over the matter and
arriving at terms which would be
agreeable to all parties. This agree
ment was easily reached, and leases
names of the gentlemen interested, fol-
lows: w. H. Williams, A. NJ. Ander-
son, ]. G. Mortenson. John Bilsland,
Sam Bryant. f. w. Smith, o. F. john
son, Dr. Farr and Oscar Oakleaf.
Drilling operations to ascertain the
extent Of the vein Of coal will COM
mence on the different farms leased
within thirty days. If the weather con-
dtions permit. This drilling will be
done as a test and if the vein is as ex-
tensive as now believed. the sinking Of
a shaft and the opening Of a mine will
be a matter Of comparatively short
time.
The coal leases have all been made
to Oscar Oakleaf, but he in turn ex-
poets to sign them over to the COM
pany This company will probably be
composed of foreign operators, altho

Hunters Lost in the Woods

1t is reported from Metaline that Fred
Douglass and companion named Hun
zic nearly lost their lives while hunting
in the neighborhood of Sullivan Lake
last week.
1t appears that the men went out for
a days hunt and did not carry any more
food than was necessary for that day .
They wandered off the trail while after
some deer and became lost. They were
unable to find any cabin for two days
Their matches became wet and they
could not start fire. so they were COM
PEELED to keep moving most of the time
in order to keep alive. At the end OF
two days they stumbled onto the cabin
occupied by miners at Happy camp.
Douglass is said to have been nearly
dead from cold and hunger when the
couple reached the cabin. but is now re-
ported to be out of danger

An irrigation Project

Chas. l.. Hoffman, + II. Pressnell,
the Rusho Bros. and L. NJ Poirier,
ranchers owning large tract of prop
erty near Blanchard station, have started
work on an irrigation plant in that To-
cality. Each of the land owners con-
structed considerable amovnt of ditch
during the past season and will continue
the work another year. In addition
they have secured water rights along
mountain streams in the neighborhood
and. as soon as the season opens, will
let the contract for the construction of a
$500 concrete dam in order to conserve
the water for use during the dry season.
The land near Blanchard is very pro-
ductiye, but during the dry summers
there is generally a scarcity of rainfall,
and this has proven drawback to the
extensive development of the country.

claim that they will have the finest sec
ton OF farming land in Bonner county.

Christmas at Locke.

Locke made such a fine display
on Christmas Eve that I think a
partial report should be made of it
in the Miner. The schoolhouse
was filled to overlooking, all the
patrons Of the district being pres
ent and several from outside. The
first thing to attract our attention
was the artistic decoration which
showed a master mind. The ex-
ercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. |. W. Rhodes. then followed
the recitations by the school child
rem. They are all quite young but
all acquitted themselves so perfect
ly that it did seem a mystery how
children of their age could be
brought to such a degree of per-
lection. There are certainly youth
in the Locke district who will earn
an enviable reputation.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of the teacher, Miss Met
calf, who had the training of the
children.
At the close of the literary ex-
ercises the Jolly old Santa made
his appearance amusing everyone
greatly and he had a present for
everyone.
You may be assured of the pro-
gressiveness of the community
when it is stated that their minis
ter, |. W. Rhodes, was remem-
bered so amply, he receiving three
presents from the tree. besides the
good people took pride in giving
him good pounding (avordupois)

Attraetiveness In Trade Needed to
Keep Dollars at Home.
The way to keep the boys and girls
at home is to make home attractive to
the boys and girls. The way to keep
dollars at home Is to make home at
tractive to the dollars There is no
other way.
Our local merchants should make
their trade attractive. This means
that they should play up their goods,
just as newspaper plays up story.
Goods can be played up in many ways.
Advertising in the local paper and dis
playing in the store window are two
good ways. Another good way is to
make the store attractive inside and
outside. Another is to convince Gus
toners that they are getting honest
values. Still another is to have the
thing the customer wants, make him
feel that you are trying to serve him
and accommodate him and not merely
trying to benefit yourself Yet an
other and most important Of all is to
organize for the betterment Of the
community. arouse public spirit and
local pride and educate the people in
the inestimable benefit to everybody
of building up their own town and
their own neighborhood.
Merchants can be the leaders in this
work. Organize local boards Of trade
town improvement societies and other
similar associations Get people in
terested in their own community.
Make them think that it is the best
community on earth. which it is to
those that live in it. Their concern
Is here, their prosperity Is here. Boom

your paper, boom your community

New Timber and Stone Rules.

Occur d'Alene, Ida, Dec. 30
Complete regulations for taking a
timber claim have been received
at the local land Office. Under
the old regulations all timber i'll
ings. cost the claimant $3.50 an
acre, DO matter how valuable the
land or timber might be. Under
the new regulations only the
cheapest land may bring $3.50 an
acre and may bring much more,
depending on its value.
All unreserved, Incorporated,
nonmineral, surveyed public lands,
chiefly valuable for stone or TIM
Der and unfit for cultivation at the
time of sale, may be taken under
the act and any one who is citizen
of the United States otherwise
qualified, including women, may
make filings.
The chief differences under the
new and old regulations are:
The applicant must give an esti-
mate not only Of the timber as here
tofore, but also its value and the
value of the land, besides depositing
a fee of $40. After the application is
fled it is forwarded to the chief of
field division, who may reject it,
compelling the applicant to appeal
to the higher officials. The officer
will cause the land to be appraised
by an employe, who must consider
the quantity, quality, accessibility
and any other element of value OF
the land and timber. The employe
report back to the chief Of the field,
which must he the joint approval
of the latter and the local land Off
GERS.
Either the applicant or the Off
GERS may reject the appraisment,
but if the former does he must de-
post at least 800 to meet the ex-
pense of reappraisment. Should
the department fail to make the
appraisment within nine months,
the applicant gets the land at $3.50
an acre.
The applicant must deposit the
fee and purchase money prior to
the publication notice instead of at
the time of final proof. The notice
must run 60 days in the nearest
newspaper to the land prior to the
date of Offering final proof.
