FOR SCHOOL
Will be Held at the Local High School
Wednesday to Saturday in
The Afternoons.
PICTURES FOR SCHOOL OR HOME
Students VIII be Pleased to Assist and
Explain Subjects.

Hc OObtCtip1 VI iCbuiOS SUN
able for the decoration OF the
school rooms on exhibition at the
high school from March 10 to-
March 16 inclusive has drawn the
attention of ali friends of the pub
lie schools to the opportunity for
further extension of this move
ment.
The success of the exhibit and
the encouragement of worthy
cause may be secured:
1. BY your attendance as one
of our citizens, thereby helping to
to create fund to be expended by
the school for pictures. The adj
mission fee is trifing for such a
famous Art Exhibit.
2. By making the contribution
Of whatever amount you may feel
disposed to give toward the picture
fund. For every dollar thus sub
scribed, we are entitled to the pur
chased at a discount of % percent.
3. BY giving your order for pic
lures for your own home. On such
orders, we are allowed discount
of % per cent
A. BY making the school dona-
ton of a picture or pictures of your
own selection. Many societies of
the cities show their interest in the
schools by this method, and indi-
yiduals have contributed to- funds
for the purpose of founding memo
rial to a child or relative who was
at one time interested in the
schools.
5. Last, but by no means least
by telling your friends of the oppor-
tunity to see the finest collection Of
art reproductions ever gathered to
Rether in this country, which chow
what the masters OF old and modern
times have produced.
We shall try TO make each after.
noon of the exhibit pleasure
You are assured OF our appreciation
of your presence and any effort in
your power TO increase our funds
This collection will be supple
mented by our own education ex
hibt which is now being prepared
for the use of teachers at the county
institute to be held in Sandpoin
April to 6, and which will b,
sent later to the Bonner County
Fair.
Then again the laboratory will
be open for inspection. OF this
you may well feel proud, as it il
second to none of our Idaho higl
schools.
Students are thoroughly verset
in all of the stories of the picture
and the lives Of the artists and vii
only be too glad to assist you.
The bours will be from 2 o'clocl
until p m. from March 10 to II
inclusive On Friday evening from
Z until 10 the exhibit viii also b
open because of a desire of on
business men, who otherwise woult
be unable to attend.
The gift of a picture to the schoo
or to some particular grade woul
not be out of place if it came iron
societies, lodges or companies, a
well as from individuals.

MANY LETTERS
Inquiring About the Opportunities,
Climate and PrOductiyeness
Of the Soil.
HEREWITH ISASAMPLE OF LETTER
Among Other things Asks About the
Wild Animals.

The Publicity Committee of Bon
ners Ferry are constantly in com
with people in all parts
of the United States, who are inter
ested, IN the Kootenai Valley |
Tnev want to know many things
about the Valley. A letter receiv.
ed from Mimi, a portion Of which
is quoted below is perhaps a typical
one.
Gentlemen:
In attending the land show at
st. Paul, Mimi, became interest
ed in your valley, through your
represen tatives. and would appre
ciate few queetions answered. IN
the first place | read the booklet
over but there is some information
| can not get from it. Can a man
get land close to school or town at
a reasonable price? Can a man
raise potatoes. say 10 acres year,
and find a market for large
Amount2 / have fifteen years ex
perience in that line. am inter
sisted in fruit. raise some here
but it is not a fruit country. When
it rains, does it rain gentle or does
wash out in places where the land
is rolling? Can get land that is
all tillable at prices mentioned in
your booklet?
Il will tell you something Of my
self, and you can understand what
kind Of place | am looking for, ]
am thirty-four years old, am mar
ried, and have two children, one
three years and one ten months
old. / have been married eight
years and have worked hard most
OF the TIME, except in winter. /
am farming as I suppose you un-
derstand. will have between two
and three thousand dollars.
"Now, can I start in there without
to much of hardship? Can l rent
say, ten acres or so ready for the
plow, at figures mentioned in your
book? Is there any danger, for
the children, from wild animals,
like mountain lions, bears or
wolves? This is my wife's ques
zion. Give nee some prices on i'm
proved lands What have figured
on, is ten acres bottom land and
forty acres bench land. What can
man borrow on improved land
like that if he needs to? If things
are satisfactory to me | intend to
go out and look it over early in the
spring. Will mail ddressed to
any of the farm ers in your booklet
reach them? Car you tell me how
much a return trip will cost?"
This gentleman is to be com
mended for his courage in being
willing to venture in a country
where he thinks his children will
be in danger from wild animals
Boomers Ferry is not a frontiers
town nor is the surrounding coun-
try primitive. We have town
with up to date business men and
a valley with orchards and ranches
under scientific management but
above all we have Unlimited re-
sources. The sooner these fact.
are brought TO the attention of the
people the sooner our vacant lands
will be improved, our rich resources
! developed and the Kootenai Valley
come to its own as one of the great
places of the Northwest.

tributed ami within the last two
weeks the Herald office has turned

These managers have no bottoms and
for that reason are light and easy to

A MONSTER BEARD.
Barnes County Man Boasts Eleven
Feet and Six Inches Of Hair.

Jamestown.-Hans N. Langseth,
holds the worlds championship in tho
matter of boards, as it is said he
can boast of the adornment Of his
face with II feet and 6 inches Of beau
tiful wavy whiskers. He is a resident
of Barnes county, and came from the
town of Langseth.
Hans Langseth has cultivated his
beard with much pride and are for
about thirty-six years. It has grown
about four inches a year. Mr.. Lang
seth claims that instead Of a
hindrance it is Of real value, as he
uses it for q chest protector in cold
weather. He used to travel with q
circus, and some years ago was a side
show attraction in Jamestown. A re.
cent issue of the Scientific American
gave his picture and beard and q few
facts concerning both.

In the warm weather these curtains

they are let down over the openings.
The only other openings in the coop
are four little square doorways, eight

In closing the decision upon the

;"As a result OF the defendants de,

In their arguments to the supreme

phasized the point that three able and

should have appointed counsel for the

Poults improperly brooded during
the first week begin to die in the

age particularly subject to lung and
abdominal troubles. Overheating and
chilling, and rapid changes from hot
to cool conditions, affect them fatally.
The connection between the lungs and
the abdominal air sacs is such that
both are affected by colds. One OF
the most common results Of these In
Examinations is q suspension Of eating
followed by the absence Of ingesta In
the intestine. The consequence OF
this is that the white material ex.
creted by the kidneys becomes more
apparent, and gives rise to the symp.

most equaled the labor of building the
floor. But more than this is the sat
isfaction Of feeding in this clean and
handy way, which can only be appre.
ciated by trying it.
Our door was made right beside the
cribs, in what had been a hog wallow.
Stones were gathered from the fields
and laid in the bottom. These were
covered and leveled by smaller stones
and coarse gravel, then a thick layer
Of concrete (elght parts of gravel to
one Of cement), then the surface coat
of four or five parts Of coarse sand to

to prevent rat invasion. After remov.
ing the board forms. posts were set
on three sides and the same wide
boards were nailed on the inside to the
posts, fitting down to the floor. Thus
Enclosed no feed Is rooted of the door,
and the cobs and other waste need not
be cleaned of so often. With bins on
n or more sides all cobs and manure
can easily be scooped into the same
and saved. The floor should be slight.
~ lower at one corner for drainage.
While constructing our floor posts
were set in the middle, 80 we could di.

1t very convenient, always having a
clean, dry. handy place to slop and
feed the pigs, and also a place to pen
them up quickly for any kind Of treat
