now will show that it is none too
large. The stock of material to
work from and the manufactured
product require great deal OF
room, to say nothing of the space
required for machinery and for the
workmen. In fact it looks as
though Mr.. Schnoor will soon have
to build larger.
The pay roll now includes about
40 men. This number will no
doubt be increased materially as
the business gets established. Mr..
Schnoor informs the HERALD that
they are already getting all the or
ders they can fill. 1t is his expec-
tation that the business will de-
mand the manufacturing OF $4,000
feet of cottonwood daily, as soon as
their plant gets to running smooth
ly, and the business is fully estab-
lished.

all partments, including the saw

department there are some very
interesting sights. The machinery
that turns out the various products
is interesting to those not familiar
with such operations. The max

the work of but minute or two in

it must pass several machines,
each operated by an experienced

New Device for Raising Water

John p. Dunn, county commits
sioner, has just completed the in
stallation of private water sys-
tenn at his ranch at Moravia. The
water is forced into a tank by a
hydraulic engine. The water is
taken out of Deep Greek at dis
lance of 1900 feet from the house,
and 400 feet from the engine
The engine delivers the water to an
elevation of So feet, with only 2 feet
of fall in the distance OF 100 feet
from the creek to the engine. The
delivery is about 1900 gallons
through a three-quarter inch pipe
in "a hours. The intake pipe is
only two inches.
The engine runs continuously
and needs no attention.
By having more fall and larger
pipes, the delivery Of water could
be il creased immensely.
The engine costs about $50 and
there is very little expense in stall
ing. The piping depends of course
on distance and size.
The possibilities of this machine
are very great, because there is
hardly ranch in this country but
what is close enough to stream tc
email bile the owner to irrigate with
little expense. Mr. Dunn's tota
expense for bitches, pipes and
machine does not exceed $3.50.
The HERALD recommends thi:
enterprise to the attention of its
readers There are innumerabls
tracts of ground that could bt
doubled or trebled in value by 9

Traded Hotel for a Farm.

The Moscow Star Mirror has the
following to say in reference to the
sale of the Remer ranch: A. j.
Favor has traded the Del Norte
hotel in this city for large farm
in the Kootenai valley about l6
miles north of Bonners Ferry.
The farm is valued at $4,000 and
Mr.. Favor paid some difference in
cash but did not care to make pub
lie the exact amount. The farm
contains 400 acres, principally tim
othy meadow land, and the pur-
chase price includes all of the stock,
machinery and farming imple-
ments. Among the stock are rs
head of fine milch cows. The farm
is known throughout the Kootenai
valley as the Remer u Frisch
ranch.
The new landlord of the Del
Norte will be H. S. Remer. Mr.,
and Mrs. Remer have two daugh-
tiers who are about ready to enter
the university and it was to give
them an opportunity for an educa-
ton that prompted the Remers to
take up their residence at Moscow
The new proprietor will assume the
management of the hotel in a few
days, while Mr.. and Mrs. Favor
will soon leave for Walla Walla
Wash, where they expect to reside
in the future, leaving the Kootenai
valley farm in charge of their
nephew, Eliza Carter. Mr., and
Mrs. Favor have resided in Moscow
the past sixteen years and have a
host of friends who will regret to
to see them leave here to take up
their residence elsewhere.
