LOCAL TEAM IS VICTORIOUS
High School Basket Ball Boys Win
From Troy By Score Of 20 to Is

The basket ball team of the local
high school played its first game of
the season last Saturday at Troy,
Mont, defeating the team of that
place in a clean, wellplayed game,
by a score of 20 to 13. The team
was accompanied on its trip to Troy
by Coach J +. Carlson.
The high school boys displayed
some excellent team work at times
but were handicapped in not having
played on a floor this season. All
their practice has been held out of
doors and the small playing space
seemed to bother the local boys to
certain extent and many of the
passes were fumbled. The game
was full of pep" with little or no
rough playing.
Murphy and Campbell worked
we'll at forward while O'Brien had
the jump on his man all the time.
O'Callaghan, Bangs, Norton and
Yahne all guarded we'll holding
their opponents pointless through
out both halves.
Halter, guard and formerly a
player on the ]. Y. A. team of
Spokane did nearly all of the scor-
ing for the Troy team.
A return game will be played
with Troy on Thanksgiving night
in this city providing it is possible
to secure the use of hall. Both
teams will have had more practice
by that time and a good game is ex-
pected. Several promising players
will be tried out in the next game
with Troy among whom are Jarvis,
Kent, ]. Campbell, Johnson, Plato
and Lynch.

CHARLES BENBOOM RANCH SOLD
Rev. J. v. Stanley Buys 1853 Acres OF
Kootenai Valley Land For $500

Among the several large real
estate deals of the past few weeks
was the one consumated the first
of the week through the agency of
the firm of Kent & Dore when the
Charles Benboom ranch, located
three and one half miles north of
this city and containing 6s acres
was sold to Rev. J. Stanley, pastor
of the South Methodist church of
Purcell, Okla. The consideration
was SO, 800.
Rev. Stanley was in this district
looking for an investment early in
the fall. He had previously visited
nearly all the fruit and farming
sections of Washington and Oregon
and decided that the Kootenai
valley would suit him better than
any other district in the west. He
will come here next summer to
make his permanent home.

KINNEY RANCH BRINGS $4,000
c. L. Squirting Buys One of Finest
Farms Of Kootenai Valley

One of the largest real estate
deals which has been transacted
in the Kootenai Valley in some
time was closed last week when

ranch for consideration of
S12,O The deal was made
through the real estate firm of

The Kinney ranch is located
near Copeland and is reputed to be
one of the finest and richest
farms of the Kootenai Valley.
Mr.. Squirting left Saturday for
his home at Bookings, S. Oak.
after having been here for a week
while looking for an investment
which world suit him. Mr.
SpuriiGg's son will arrive here the
middle of next month to take
charge of the Kinney ranch.
Mr.. Squirting is a man of very
wide experience in farm matters
having been in that business on a
very large scale in the Dakotas and
Montana for the past thirty years.
He has travelled extensively over
all parts of the Uuited States and
during last summer, has used every
day in looking up the best farming
country in the U. S. and has come
back to the Kootenai Valley saying
that nowhere can be found a place
that excels this. 1t has the three
great essentials for agriculture, soil,
climate and rainfall. He says that
two of these essentials may be found
in many places but the Kootenai
Valley is the one and only place
where all three exist in sufficient
proportions to warrant investment.
His home is a school town and the
question of the schools was ever an
important one with him. He was
all enthused with the idea when he
learned OF the proposed new school
house. He was especially pleased
with the idea that domestic science
manual training and agriculture
were to be taken up. Consolida-
tons of the two school districts in
this city should be your next step
after your bond election" he is
quoted as saying.

STATE OFFICES
TO BE- FILLED
Politicians Await Haines Decisions in
Regard to Disposal Of Var
ious Appointments
EIGHT IMPORTANT POSITIONS
5. D. Taylor Will Probably Be Regis
trar of Land Board

The selection of officials for the
appointive positions in the power
of the governor is a matter that is
keeping Governor elect John M.
Haines busy these days and dis
patches from Boise allege that Mr..
Haines has already picked out
capable and efficient men for the
Offices at his disposal. There are
eight important offices which are
left to Governor Haines to fill
governor 5 secretary, state land
commissioner, registrar of the state
land department, chief clerk of the
state land department, state immi-
grafton commissioner, state Carey
act commissioner, state fish and
game warden and adjutant general.
According to word received this
week it is probable that Mr.. Haines
will select S. d. Taylor, of this
city and present state auditor, for
the Office of registrar of the land
board. Mr.. Taylor will have
served four years as state auditor
when his present term expires and
in this time has proven himself one
of the most capable and efficient
officials Of the state and there can
be no question but that his appoint
ment to this Office would be a wise
one.
+. F. Valkenberg of Boise will
in all probability be appointed as
secretary to the governor. Mr..
Van Valkenberg has been associat-
ed with Mr.. Haines in private bust
ness for years and took a promi
nent part in Mr.. Haines campaign
both for nomination and election.
Former State Senator George A.
Coates of Bellevue, Blaine county,
is an applicant for the position of
state Ash and game warden. His
chances are good as the present
game warden halls from Blaine
county.
Governor Haines will turn the
immigration department over to
newspapermen and it is understood
that c. N. Hill, editor of the Twin
Falls Times, will be appointed COM
missioner. The work of the de-
partment is largely publicity work.
George A. Day, republican state
chairman, will be continued in office
as state land commissioner.
James H. Wallis of Fremont
county, state dairy and food inspec-
tor, and Herbert Q. Hale, chief
clerk of the land office, will in all
probability be continued in office.
The position of adiltant general
is one that is attracting the atten-
ton of number of prominent re-
publicans over the state who are in
terested in the state militia.
There will be few changes in the
board appointments owing to the
fact that most of the clerks under
the various boards are republicans.

BONNER FRUIT
IS ATTRACTIVE
Exhibit at Minneapolis Northwest Pro.
ducts Exposition Is Being Viewed
By Many Homeseekers
PUBLICITY FOR NORTH IDAHO
Bonner And Latah County Exhibits
Only Ones From State

Bonner County's exhibit at the
Northwest Products Exposition,
which opened November 18th at
Minneapolis, Mimi, is attracting a
great deal of attention and as a re-
suit this section of Idaho is secur-
ing a vast amount of valuable ad-
vertising among the residents of
eastern states who are planning to
come west TO make their homes.
The exhibit from Bonner county
is enclosed in the same booth which
was used at the Bonner County
fair and at the Spokane Interstate
fair. A. J. Kent of this city and
Eaton r. Edgerton of Standpoint
are in charge of the booth and from
the amount of publicity which the
Bonner county display received
from the Minneapolis papers it is
evident that these gentlemen are
working hard to bring Bonner
county into prominence with visit
ors at the exposition. The Mime
apolis Journal, one of the largest
papers of Minneapolis, has used a
a photo of the Bonner county ex-
hibit on its front page and had the
following to say of the exhibit, -
Eaton R. Edgerton, secretary
of the Standpoint, Idaho, CONNER
cial club, and A. J Kent, president
of the Kootenai Valley Commercial
club of Boomers Ferry, Idaho, who
are Idaho boosters all the time, are
popular with the people who love
light colored apples that are on ex-
hibit in the booth. Men, women
and children, after having seen the
red apples elsewhere shown find
added interest when they see the
big light colored ones. y
Yesterday the editor received a
letter from Pres. Kent of the Koot-
enai Valley Commercial Club in
which he told of some of the things
he was accomplishing at Mime
apolis in the way of publicity for
the Kootenai Valley. The HER
AID readers will no doubt be inter
ested in Mr.. Kent's letter which
is given below.

"KING OF THE HoBoES''
SENDS SCABS HERE.

One of life's little mysteries
heretofore has been James Eads
Howe of St. Louis, millionaire
king of the hoboes." J"
Just why Howe, Millionaire
and a man forfd of all the 1uxuries
a millionaire can buy, should have
chosen to associate with hoboes,
should have chosen to organize
hoboes and to call himself their
king" never has been under
stood.
Howe yesterday teIegraphed
the managers of the Chicago rail
roads that he could send them
$4,000 of his hoboes to break the
strike of the Freight Handlers
Union of Chicago.
The vanguard of Howe's
strike-breaking hoboes will ar
rive in Chicago today and union
men will have the pleasure of see
ing their places taken by men
who themselves admit they are
hoboes, men without homes,
without families, the parasites of
civilization.
Several thousand of Howe's
hoboes are working on the Hi
nois Central and Hartman rail-
roads now. They are taking the
places of the shopmen who-went
on strike seven months ago when
their right to federation was de-
MED by the railroads.
Of course, it is just possible
that James Eads Howe, million
aire, is supplying strike-breaking
hoboes out of pure kindliness Of

heart and the desire to see the ho-
boes of the country work for their
living.
That is possible. But it isn't
very probable. 1t is much none
likely that James Eads Howe is
increasing his millions by supply
ing the bosses who wish to break
up the unions with hobo strike
breakers.
And that might,explain why a
millionaire should have shown
such a fondness for the society of
hoboes and for the life of the pan
handler.

At Unwilling Of Columbus Memorial in
WASHINGTON.

Mr.. James T. McCleary, representa-

of the United States. who was mem
Der Of the original Columbus memorial
commission, was one of the speakers
at the unwilling ceremony. Mr.. Nc
Cleary said in part:
"This memorial is to CHRISTOPHER
Columbus alone. Not a man who ac-
companied him on his memorable vow
age is here remembered. Even Ferdi-
nand and Isabella are honored only
by medallion on the back Of the
memorial. Is this just arrange
ment? To the American people it is
more important than may at first ap-
pear that the popular answer to this
question be right.
THE men shared with Columbus
the dangers of the deep; should they
rot here and now be honored with
him for the achievement? In a GER
tain sense, yes. But who knows their
names? The human mind has limita-
lions. The ability to remember some
things depends on the power to forget
many things. Only the Hottest noun
tains can be seen at great distances;
the supporting hills of their base soon
disappear from view.
"Considering now the particular
achievement that we here comment
orate-whose brain conceived the en-
terprise and worked out it's details?
Whose soul furnished the courage
