Several Promising Properties in that
Locality being Developed.

Little has been heard about
mining operations on the Moyie of
late, but still there is considerable
activity in that locality. Several
companies have done considerable
development work.
A. Re;nwald called at theHERALD
office recently and gave us the
following information concerning
a property that is being developed
near Summit siding, about twelve
miles Northeast of Boomers Ferry.
The claims are known as the Nora
and the Ida. The Nora is a copper
lead and the Ida galena. They
are about 200 feet apart, dip
toward each other, and it is be-
lieved they will come together al
depth of about $50 feet. Foai
men have been working on these
prospects all winter, and on March

work is characterized by thorough
ness and efficiency. High School
developement is a healthy sign.
One element might be improved.
There is perhaps too strong a
tendency to keep children out of
schools after reaching II to IA OF
age. Modern conditions in \ com
mercial as well as professional life
would require more and better
schooling then last decade. The
boy or girl without broad founda-
lions can not hope TO win out in
the race. Prof. McPherron should
be encouraged in his laudable am
bition to develope the work of the
upper grades"
Speaking further of educational
work, the Professor commented as
follows relative to the State Uni
versity at Moscow:
"The University of Idaho is ex-
periencing "a gratifying progress.
Over $50 students, 80 professors,
and new buildings and equipment
are rapidly making it one of the
foremost Universities of the North
west. The new $225,000 Admini-
stration Building will be ready
some time next year and will prove
mighty impetus in the univers-
ity's development"

PUTTING in PHONE EXCHANGE

Price of phones will be $500 per
month for business houses and
$500 for residence. A slight re.
duction is obtained where, one
party takes a business and a resi-
dence phone.
The Bell Co. has a 20-year fran
chise for Boomers Ferry, but not
an exclusive franchise. 1t is the
most exstensive phone system in
the west.
An unique fe ature of the service
will be that it will consist entirely
of single party lines. Walter S.
Johnson, travelling representative
of the contracting department, in
forms the HERALD that he knows
of no other such exchange in the
country. He found no demand
for party line service and the sys-
tenn will be installed accordingly.
There will be no wires in the
business district, as cable system
will be installed, which will be
tapped where necessary for the
outlying districts.

Boomers Ferry has always been
noted for the excellence of its pub
lie schools, and its reputation is
being we'll maintained. AS an
illustration of this fact, the recent
eighth grade, State examinations are
to be noted. Seventy-four pupils
in Bonner County took these ex-
aminations and only IA passed.
Boomers Ferry furnished 5 of the
successful pupils, to A at Sand
point. There were 13 taking the
examination at Bonners Ferry and
"a at Standpoint This shows effici.
ent work in which all the teachers
share the honors.

MINING OPERATIONS ALONG THE MOVIE

/ a gasoline hoist was installed.
The Ida has a shaft down 60
feet; drift of 40 feet, and cross
cut of 10 feet. The Nora has a
80 foot shaft. 1t is the intention to
continue work. The shaft on the
Ida will be put down to 1875 feet
and then a cross cut will be run to
the copper lead.
Either ledge is of sufficient size
to make a mine, and values are
improving with depth. This pro-
perry is owned by Mitchem Bros
and L. M. Peters of Spokane.
Several other properties are
being developed on the Moyie. On,
just East of Greenway's siding has

group on Deer Greek will receive

Out OF all the prospecting goinl
on, II is not unlikely that SOM

Lest We Forget
In view of certain affairs that have
transpired in Chicago within a day or

who opposed formal declaration for
Taft and an instructed delegation for
him, regard the wisdom of the action
taken by the state convention? Taft
was nominated long before the state
of Wyoming was reached on the roll
call and the break TO make il uEani

n dry without any knowledge as to
she stood. had a formal decla-
ration been omitted at the state con-

Taft should he have ever needed then.

A sensible innovation has been made
by Uncle Sam in advertising for re-
cruits. After a series of tests he has
discovered that he can get the men he
desires quicker through the want
columns of the daily papers than
through any other source. Compare
lively few of the men desired read the
magazines, hence a recruiting ad in a
magazine is a buried article. A live,
daily paper is the best medium for al.
vertising. That fact has beer proved

from one who speaks by the card. In
the current number OF Golfers Weekly
he expresses his conception of the
presidency as follows:
In the four years that | have been a
member of the cabinet | have become
familiar enough with the responsible
ties and burdens Of the presidency to
know that no man can afford unduly
to seek that great office. II he Is at
tracted by honor and power alone,
without the hope Of being useful. he Is
unworthy of the honor and unfit for the
use of the power. He mus prefer for
the sake of his own peace of mind
never to be president to being a poor
president.
Confident that the platform on
which he stands is for the best inter
ests of the nation, he is untrue TO him
self and his supporters If he does not
fight vaiiantly for election after he ac-
cepts the leadership. But, of course,
he must draw the line at any compact

of the Misses Charlotte and Fanny

when both were well over ninety, Miss

be apoplexy."
..Nothing of the sort!" exclaimed
Miss Fanny, making dash at her sis
ter's head. "Your caps on fire, and

brave old thing did.
Miss Walpole, despite her ruined
laces. was doubtless pleased that 1t
was fire rather than fever which af-
fiicted her. Sir Humphry Davy, al

CAP was less satisfied under similar
circumstances.
He had been studying one evening,
in comfortable neglige OF dressing
gown and nightcap, at little table In
his chamber, when he became aware OF
a curious phenomenon. A bright, dane
ing circle Of light appeared upon the
ceiling. 1t was unsteady, yet persist
ont. and he was unable to account for
1t.
He extinguished his lamp, but 1t only
appeared the brighter. 1t was accom-
panied by an .odor-a scorching odor-
and also by slight sound Of sizzling
He was greatly excited, and running
over rapidly in his mind all kinds OF
electrical and other interesting theories
to account for the mystery, when he
became aware Of sensation OF uncom-
Portable warmth about the scalp. He
hastily put up his hand-and down
tnmbled his theories and blazing

the scales. A Texas man has hit upon
the idea Of having the scoop Indicate
the weight of the contents, eliminating
the necessity of transferring it to the
scales. His weighing scoop is shown in
the accompanying illustration. The
pan for gathering up the article to be
weighed is pivoted to the handle and
operates a pointer, which indicates the
weigt Of the contents on scale. II a
pound of sugar is wanted, the grocer
dips enough out Of the bin to swing the
pointer to the pound mark. The sugar
is then transferred directly to bag,
doing away with the necessity Of weigh
ing on the scales
