Headache Tablets.

The theory of curing a headache is to
lower the blood pressure. To do this, the
action of the heart must be slowed down;
this relieves the pressure on the nerve,
relieving the headache for the time being.
From this theory arises the objection to all
headache remedies We have headache

A BOAT RACE.

On Wednesday of last week very
pretty boat race took place on the N
|. Southern Canal, between the two
motor boats, one belonging to G. o.
Pharr and the other to the Muller
brothers. While these two boats do
not show the same lines, they are
quite equally matched in dimensions
and power. Both are 20 feet long by
feet beam; and each carries a 6 h. D.
engine. On this particular occasion
they were unequa'ly loaded the
Pharr having II passengers, while the
Muller carried but half that number
In this race, which was quite i'm
promptu and which extended over a
long stretch OF the canal, it seems that
neither boat could dev.lope any adj.
vantage in speed over the other. In
the latter phase Of the contest their
noses were abreast and in these posi-
sions the race was concluded. The
Pharr owner is rather anxious to trv
conclusions with the Muller in bigger
water and under more favorable load
to the former.

In the proposed drainage district are

proposed canal. yet they would have to
bear the proposed tax. Iuch of this

+! The good people of st. Martinvlle
have been chtivating for years a spirit
OF enthusiasm for waterways. They
have given their earnest cndeavors To
inlis'ing HE support Of All contiguous
sections for schemes formulated in
their promising city-though most Oh
these have not mafcrialized into prac-
| teal results. The Government scheme
Of imrros ing the Teche (of 1867 J
was endorsed, but was opposed by the
people Of ST Lan,ry, and IN -conse-
qncnce nothing practical was never &C
compl,shcd. Some ten years later
they adv, Gated Il canal connection b.
tween the upper Techr aad the Yer
million river. Later they advocated
the passage of the Intercoastal Canal
through the Cypress Island district
The call for the first meeting, which
gave existence to the Teche improve
ment Association, was issued from st.
Mariinville. In the meantime Gov
eminent officials have been diligently
working to the end of pcrfcctirg the
operating plans for locks at Key
stone-a branch of the work of i'm
proving navigation that does not seem
to elicit much enthusiasm with the
people of St. Martinville.
Thus have the years passed, devel-
oping many conflicting plans. Like
the old school story in McGufry's read
er, where the farmer failed in his eff
for,s to get the assistance of his neigh
bors, his friends aud acquaintance,
and lastly his relatives, in harvesting
his wheat. determined to do it him
self--so have the people of St. Martin
vile determined themselves to dedicate
their best efforts and means to cutting
a canal from the Teche to Bayou Port
age. Last week ST MartinyiIle all but
voted a ~ mill tax for Is
wears to raise limited amount for
this canal. The Second Ward Of that
parish had before 1t proposition of a
81 mill tax, unlimited in amount, for
ID years. Here the fight began. The
views of one part OF the people is re-

Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1909-04-10

Bonners Ferry, where soft woods
so much sought for in the utility
of such industry, is abundant, and
secured at virtual a normal figure
The Great Northern, Spokane
& International, and the Kootanai
Valley Railroads, runs through
good share of this timber tract,
making it an easy matter to secure
supplies for logging camps with
but meager difficulty. Where the
system OF these railroads do not
touch to make it convenient to
receive such supplies, such can be
carried by email launches up or
down the Kootensi river to easy
accessible points, where they can
be easily gotten, in a short dis
lance from any logging camp.
Growing throughout this timber
belt is plenty Of nutritious grass,
making grazing for stock unlimit-
ed, and the ease with which winter
fodder can be procured makes this
locality an ideal place for stock
raising and dairying.
The winters here are short and
mild, making an exceptional local
ity for the dairy and stock indus
tries, all such products bringing
excellent prices in local and foreign
markets which are near at hand.
The rancher who prefers to make
his own butter for sale neve. re-
ceives less than thirty-fve cents
per pound in his home market for
same, and if shipped to British
Columbia receives readily fifty cents
per pound. Eggs never get below
twenty-five cents per dozen, and
often the rancher receives fifty
cents per dozen in his home mar
ket. Even at such prices it is
hard to supply the local demand
for them. The demand for good
beef far exceeds the visible supply,
such bringing those who wish to
sell, a handsome price tight at
their doors. Nowhere else, consid-
ering all, are there such splendid
opportunities offered for industries.
An up to date creamery with the
proper pluck and capital to back il
at Boomers Feri y would be 8 money
maker.

In the background stand the
great rugged mountain ranges, and
wherever these have been we'll
prospected, numerous deposits of
gold, silver. lead and other minerals
have beer found. While most of
these are in an undeve loped state,
a few have been sufficiently devel-
oped to give promise of being bon
anzas, and enough has been done
to warrant that mining will soon
be one of the big industries of the
Kootenai Valley. Placer gold has
been found in paying quantities in

Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1909-04-10

quantity of timber as enumerstep
in this belt, has vet to be estimated
by the timber estimator.
There is enough timber in and
adjacent to the Kootenai Valley,
tributary to Bonners Ferry, to keep
in full operation the whole year,
several large saw mills for the next
sixty years. The Kootenai river
above and below Bonrers Ferry
with its many large tributaries,
for distance of one hundred and
seventy-fve miles, run through
or are adjacent to this amount
of excellent, enormous tim
Der. All of this timber can be
foated easily down any of the
many large streams which empty
in the Kootenai river, without
difficulty to Bonners Ferry, which
is at the end of swift water making
this logical point for manufacture
ing every foot of this timber into
Timber and other desired utilities.
For fourty miles below Boomers
Ferry this timber can be towed by
tug boats at very smallcost per
thousand feet, or brought up the
Kootenai Valley railroad. where it
has tracks at several points along
the banks of the Kootenai river,
around Boomers Ferry affording
excellent chances to place such
timber in deep, still water, which
can be handled with ease as want
ed.
The numbering industry is vet
only in its infancy in this locality.
While there is one large sawmill,
and one box factory and mill in
this section, giving employment to
hundreds of men, such are as mites
in an ocean of vsstness, coping with
the lumber industry which abounds
in this section of the northwest,
awaiting the coming of more man
ufacturing and sawmill firms to
make this timber into lumber.
There is no section of the Union
without a coast line which offers
better inducements to the lumber
man Of means, than in this locality.
Those who desire to find a pulp
and paper mill location, could not
find better ones than those offered
for such industries, in and around
