LEONlA CORRESPONDENT TALKS 0NR0ADS AND FERRY

The Sylvan1te and Yahk companies
have pledged their aid to See the
road through. From this it will
be seen that Leonia IS and always
must be the shortest and most ra-
tional transportation point for Syl-
vanite.
While we sincerely rejoice in the
prosperity of our neighboring towns
irrespective of where situated, we
wish to see every portion of Lin
coin county develop and come soon
to the position it will surely occu-
py some day, yet hold that it is
a serious mistake to let any person.
al or selfish motives outweigh the
just demands of a deserving COM
munity.
1t is unfortunate, indeed, that
our Lincoln county commissioners
must shoulder the blame for all re-
mlssness in establishing the ferry,
as we have indisputable evidence
that Mr.. Dunn of the Bonner coun-
ty board stands willing at all times
to fulfil his promise to cooperate
in this matter.
Now that the bond issue has
passed, and we are glad that the
majority here voted for it, we hope
it will be sufficient incentive to
change the Leonia ferry from a
standing "Joke' to a serious prop
osition, which will be worked out
without further delay.

the national administration should
be supported in its tariff policy and
that democratic victory would

DOE LAWS SAVE HUNTERS

The So called 'list of immortals"
OF the United States geological sur
vey-a roster kept by that bureau
of all hunting fatalities in this
country-already this year has had
added AT names. From this in
formation the bureau hopes to be
able to deduce general principles
which will be of value in framing
"life-saving federal and state game
laws
Zone fact which we have learned
during the three years we have
kept this record,' says DR.. r. S.
Palmer, chief the bureau, lis that
there are practically no deer hunt
ing accidents in states which pro-
hibit the shooting of does. This
is because in those states the hunt
er hesitates moment before firing
to determine whether the animal is
doe or buck. In case the ami
NAL happens to be of tke two-legged
variety, that brief pause before
pulling the trigger is enough to
save human life"

Dear Sir f: The long -heralde
Yahk power house is an assured
fact at last. Two wagon loads OF
material for construction passed
through here today from the Movie
station of the Spokane & Inter

the company is obliged to make
such long haul owing to the neg
lect of our county commissioners
to install the long promised ferry
at Leonia.
With the great improvement
made on the Sylvanite road this
year, including the new half mile
which is attracting the attention of
all strangers as being the most per-
fectly- reconstructed thoroughfare to
be found in this part of the coun-
try, and the completion of the cut
off doing ava y with the switcback,
there will be splendid road from
Sylvanite to Leonia little short of
thirteen miles.
George McCo. mick has donated
a weeks work on this cutoff in as
sisting company representatives to
survey it. He is also giving a
week team work free and is en-
deavoring to get the other settlers
to contribute what work they can.
