the streams have further south.
The river has its source in the west
slope of the Rockies. 1t raised at
the rate of an inch an hour a part
of Tuesday and Wednesday, but
checked up materially on Thurs
day, and raised very little on Fri
day, probably not to exceed 4
inches. The Kootenai has now
reached about the same stage as
last year, which was considered an
average stage. Whether it will go
materially higher this year will de-
pend entirely upon climatic condi-
tions up near its source in the
Rockies. Ordinarily, cold rainy
weather in the valley means colder
weather in the mountains and the
checkingsof the flood. The excess
of rain this season has caused this
rule TO be. rather a doubtful guide.
AS an incident of the flood con-
ditions in Northern Pacific terri
tory, nine passenger trains, carry
ing thousands of passengers, who
have been held up at Billings and
Helena, went through Boomers
Ferry yesterday over the Great
Northern, besides several N. P.
trains sent east over the Great
Northern. Conditions are so bad
on the N. P. that no prediction is
made as to when traffic will be re-
sumed.

John B. Southmayd and Al Fill
son and son spent Sunday at the
mine owned by Messers. South
mayd, Filson, Farmin, Mcbride q
Molyneux at LENA. They found
that the crew of men whom they
have had at work there the past
five weeks driving a tunnel on the
Copper Queen niue were making
good progress and had taken out
several tons of rich ore. They now
have two feet of solid galena carry
ing values in silver and copper
and running about rs per cent lead.
The last few feet the ore has been
getting richer in copper and silver
and is now running about $4,000
to the ton.
This company has recently locat-
ed another claim adjoining on
which there is two large lodges of
iron ore and have also located
mill site and now control all the
land between the mine and the
Great Northern railway, the Copper
Queen mine being located about
half mile from the main line of the
Great Northern and one mile east
of Lenia station, just over the line
Into Montana.-News.

PLAN BIG FOURTH
Bonners Ferry will Celebrate the
National Day with All Kinds
of Patriotism.

Bonners Ferry will celebrate the
4th, and that in grander style than
in any previous year. This was
the conclusion reached at a we'll
attended meeting of citizens at the
Hall last Saturday evening.
The meeting organized with the
election of chairman and secre-
tary, and the chairman was au-
thorized to appoint a chairman of
the various committees required,
the chairmen Of the committees to
select as many assistants on their
committees as they desired. The
chairmen of the committees are to
act as an executive committee.
Thus an effective organization was
at once provided.
The big problem to be solved is
how to provide suitable grounds
for the celebration. The growth
and the improvement of the town
has changed conditions so that it is
no longer possible to have a cele-
bration on grounds used in previ-
Gus years.
A new race course must at least
be provided. and the only land
available is up on the bench south
of town. Steps are now under way
to try to secure a tract of land for
the purpose. Individual mem bets Of
the Eagles have taken the matter
up and Believe that their Aerie
can handle such a proposition.
Negotiations are under way, which
if successful, will be a great credit
to the Eagles, and will provide
Bonners Ferry with a recreation
park, which will include race
track ana bail grounds. The peo-
pie of the West like little excite

right, but MP. down and out.

Unprecedented rains on both
slopes of the Rocky mountains are
causing great floods to sweep down
their slopes, inundating the val
leys below. The territory south of
the Great Northern Railway line
seems to be the worst hit, for while
that line is still open, the Northern
Pacific has been put completely
out of business both east and west
of the Rockies.
The country between Missoula
and Livingston appears to have
been most effected by the storm
which broke last Monday. This
brought down great volumns of
water, the rain bringing with it
the water from the melting snow,
held back in the mountai ms by the
backward spring. A later heavy
rain has effected the Clearwater
river and it is also running at
flood tide sweeping away bridges,
cuttingoff rail raili DAD communica-
ton and flooding the vallies.
The rains do not appear to have
been so severe in the country
north of the International bound
airy. The Kootenai has raised sew
eral feet, but has not been effected
to anything like the extent that
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1908-06-06

ment on the 4th of July, and,
therefore, racing and ball games
come in for large share of atten-
ton. A 4th of July celebration
without them would be regarded
by the general public as u rather
punk affair, so as stated, race
course is now the big problem with
the committee. If the Eagles can
solve the problem, it will add sew
eral feathers to their wings.
The parade, speaking, and minor
sports will be held right irf town as
formerly.
The finance committee will be
around soon soliciting subscr ptions
and liberal donations are expected.
1t is up to the town to provide a
celebration and pay the bills. 1t
is part of the necessary annual
expense OF every enterprlslng busl-
ness firm, and ought to be contri-
buted cheerfully. 1t always has
been and we have no doubt that it
will be this year. Nothing pleases
the people quite SO well as a sue
cessful celebration and to maintain
the reputation and credit Of the
town, each citizen must do his
duty.
At all events, Bonners Ferry is
going TO celebrate and everyone
should make their calculations ac-
cordingly. GET in and boost and
assist in making it hummer.
The meeting elected s. d. Taylor
Chairman, and J. B. Brody Secre-
tary. The chairman appointed
James Fitzpatrick Chairman of the
finance committee, and he in turn
selected t. j. Hollinger and T. H.
Waidron as assistants on the COM
mittee.

THE DEMOCRATS
Split Wide Open in their State
Convention
CLASH ON MORMON QUESTION
Send two Sets Of Delegates to
Denver Convention

Salt Lake City, Utah, June s.
A special to the Herald tonight
from Twin Falls, Idaho, says.
The democratic party Of Idaho is
hopelessly split on the Mormon
question. Amid the widest scenes
ever witnessed at a convention in
this state two conventions were held
this afternoon In the same hall.
Both claim to be regular, and a
bitter contest before the national
committee at Denver is certain
AT one time during the proceed
ings there seemed encounters inn
minent, and once it looked as
though there might be bloodshed
The anti-Mormon faction. led by
former Senator Dubois, seemed to
have majority of the delegates.
The other faction elected IL dele
gates to the national convention at
Denver, one from each of the seven
judicial districts and five from the
state at large, each entitled to half
vote at the national convention,
provided the delegation is seated.
The fight arose over the election
of temporary chairman. The Du-
boioites nominated Glen Mckinley
and the opposition put up X. !.
Perkey. The vote gave Mckinley
148 votes, Perkey 1872. 1t was
claimed that the state committee
had allowed contested delegates
favorable to Dubois to vote and
and barred contestees that leaned
towards the opposition.
When the threats, profanity and
riotous demonstrations subsidized
Perkey called upon the opponents
of Dubois to gather around him.
He then led them to another part
Of the hall and organized his con-
vention.
The Perkey delegates to Denver
are w. B. Mcfarland, George E..
Erd, J. T. Pence, G. H. Lamberton,
D. II. Evans, ]. D. Milsap, John G.
Rice, j. II. Hawley, Ben Grey, ]. H.
Garrett, w. H. Cassidy and J. F.
Nugent. They were instructed to
vote for the nomination of w. J.
Bryan rs long as his name is before
the convention. A resolution de-
ploring the injection of the Mormon
question into state politics was
adopted.
The Dubois convention chose as
delegates to Denver; Fred T. Du-
bois, Henry Heitfeld, S. H. Jack,
son, Carey l.. Day, W. L. r. Eccles
and Timothy L. Reagan.
A night session is being held by
this faction.

to resume work on the Golden Age
tunnel that has it portal in the Silver
Age gulch. He began work on this
last year and encountered a large
vein of fine looking quartz on which he
will drive the tunnel as an adit,
one for this vein and also as a
cross cut to intersect such substantial
mining properties as the French Flag,
Gold Medal and others. His tunnel To-
lion is good one and the portal is
very convenien for shipping purposes
Two consignments of trout fry were
received here on Tuesday morning.
One consisted of 1000 in number and
we're taken to Lake Edith By J. j.
Sherwin. They came from the govern

the government come up here in Octo-
ber and November and secure fish
spawn from Lake Edith for their
hatcheries and return per cent of the
fry in the spring. In this manner both
the government and owners of Lake
Edith are mutuallybenefitted. The other
consignment of Is, 600 will be placed in
Chicago Creek and is done in pursuance
of the enterprise of the Fisherman's s

So great menace has this become

One of the means Of defense pro

been some doubts expressed As TO the
constitutionality OF laws regulating

thing as private business A bust

exerts some influence, either good o.
bad, upon the community This being
true. it must needs be amenable to-
