the Kootenai Valley in this district
are highly elated over such assur-
ances as have been made that the
Canadian government will lend a
hand in the retaining of the rich
territory which is annually covered
by the waters of the Kootenai river
and seem to feel that they are on
the eve of realizing the successful
outcome of their reclamation pro-
jects which have been hanging fire
for several years. The majority of
the owners of the overlooked lands
of this district have expressed a
willingness to aid financially or in
any way possible the Canadian
government should it determine to
take up the reclamation work for
ii Canada sets about to reclaim its
overlooked lands it will mean that
the lands of this district can be re-
claimed at half the cost and in
half the time originally estimated.
When the Kootenai valley land
owners and the business men of
Boomers Ferry learned that Mr..
Gray Donald would be in this city
this week they Immediately set
about to show him a good time. A
committee composed of Messrs.
Kent, Mccoy, Brown and Moore
arranged for the smoker anq pro-
gram which was carried out at
Kent's hall.
Some Is of the representative
business men and property owners
of Bonners Ferry and the Kootenai
Valley attended the smoker. The
hall was decorated with British and
American flags. The smoker was
an informal affair and was perhaps
all the more enjoyable on this ac-
count.
DR.. E. F. Fry acted as toastmas-
ter and after the company enjoyed
their fill of the good things to eat
and drink, Major Walker was call
ed upon to give the address of well
come to the honored guests, Messrs.
Gray Donald and I.owenberg. The
speakers of the evening were:
Messrs. Gray Donald, Lowenberg,
Elliott, Hawkins, O'Callahan,
James, Featherstone, Kent, and
Kinnear. Musical entertainment
was rendered at intervals during
the evening by the Utopia orches-
ira, male quartette and Mr.. Kelly.

AT the meeting of the village
board of trustees held last Saturday
evening it was decided to limit the
number of saloons in Boomers
Ferry to three and that the license
should be fixed at 81 900 annually
Nine applications for saloon Ii
censes had been made to the board
and that body found itself in a
Quandary when it came to select
the three to whom licenses would
be granted. 1t was past the mid
night hour when it was finally de-
termined that the three licenses
should be granted to NJ. II. Marvin.
James Casey and George Myers.
County Commissioner Dunn ar
ranged for a meeting of the county
commissioners with the village
board of trustees which was to have
been held last evening for the pur-
pose of discussing the matter of the

AMENDMENTS
ARE DRAFTED
Kootenai Valley Landowners Propose
Changes of Drainage Laws
OF the State
WILL PRESENT TO LEGISLATORS
Changes in Regard to Formation Of
Reclamation Districts

Residents of the Kootenai Valley
will make strenuous efforts at the
next session of the legislature to
secure the changing of the Idaho
statutes governing the formation of
reclamation and drainage districts.
One of the changes wanted is in
the method of appointing drainage
district commissioners. The
changes of the drainage laws have
already been drafted by those large
ly interested in the reclamation of
the thousands of acres of overlooked
land in the Kootenai valley and
Bonner county Legislators will be
asked to use every effort to have
the amendments pass the senate
and house.
Section 2447, under the amend
ment will read: Upon the entry
of the final hearing of said petition
as set forth in the last preceding
section, said board of county COM
missioners, if they find said pro-
posed drainage system to be con
ducive either to the public health,
welfare or convenience, or will in
crease the public revenue or be of
special benefit to the majority in
acreage of lands included within
said boundaries, shall declare said
territory duly organized and to be
known as Drainage District No
of County, in the State
of Idaho, and within ten DAYS there
after shall appoint three drainage
commissioners from among those
who own land within the drainage
districts and are residents of the
county where such district is locat-
ed. Said board shall cause a copy
of the order declaring said district
to be organized, duly certified, to
be filed in the Office of the secretary
of state, and from and after the
date of said filing, said organization
shall be deemed complete. The
board of drainage commissioners ap.
pointed as aforesaid shall be emit

SAYS DRAINAGE PROJECT FEASIBLE
G. GRAY DONALD CANADIAN CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER, INVESTIGATES
DRAINAGE PROJECT OF THE KO0TENl VALLEY
Kootsnsi Valley Owners Of Overlooked Lands Assured That Canadian
Government Aid Will Be Secured Reclamation Of Cresion Valley
Lands-Lessen the Drainage Problem in this Valley

G. Gray Donald, chief hydro
grapher of the Canadian provin-
cial government, who was a visi-
tor in this district yesterday and
the guest of honor at reclama-
ton" smoker held at Kent's hall
last evening, did not at any time
openly announce that his report
to his government concerning the
reclamation of Kootenai valley
lands located on the Canadian
side would be a favorable one but
OH various occasions he let out
hints signifying his approval of the
project and told of the simpleness
of the Kootenai Valley reclamation
project, from an engineering stand
point, as compared with other pro-
jects of similar nature which he
had had to deal with i'll the four
corners of the world. In a brief
address before Bonners Ferry bust
ness men last night Mr.. Gray DON
aid said, The reclamation of the
Creston and the kootenai valleys
overhowed lands presents no great
difficulty and the proposed plans
of drainage are very feasible ones. -
Speaking of the efforts which had
been made to interest the Canadian
government in the reclamation pro-
ject, the speaker continued, My
instinct tells me that if you keep
on trying in the right direction you
are bound to- get what you want. .
Mr., Gray Donald has spent sew
eral weeks Investigating the pro-
position of draining the overlooked
lands along the Kootenai river in
Canada. In company with Engi-
neer Guy Lowenberg of Creston
he came to this district yesterday
in order that he might secure data
concerning the crops which the
overlooked bottom lands produce
and so be able to show his govern
ment that Canadian overlooked
lands were worth retaining. The
overlooked lands of the Kootenai
Valley on the American side have
been cultivated and developed to a
larger extent than the lands of the
Canadian side and Mr.. Gray Don
aid expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the result of
his Investigations here.
Owners of overlooked lands OF

the drainage commissioners shall
organize themselves into board
and they shall by lot determine the
lengths of their office, which shall
be one, two and three years res
pectively. Annually thereafter the
board of county commissioners in
the county in which said district is
located shall appoint a drainage
commissioner from among the own
ers of land in the said district and
who are residents of the county in
which the drainage district is To-
Gated.

CANDIDATES
GETTING BUSY
County 0ffice-seekers Begin to An
nounce Themselves and
Rustic Support
MANY WANT SHERIFFS OFFICE
But Few Democratic Candidates Have
Announced Themselves

Republicans of Bonner county
are commencing to take lively
interest in the primaries which will
be held July 80 and this past week
attention has been diverted from
state politics by the announcements
of various candidates who will seek
offices on the county republican
ticket. The first county office
seeker to announce his candidacy
was Charles Jackson of Priest River
who wants to be the commissioner
from District No. 2.
There will be a number of aspir-
ants for the sheriff's office and H.
IS. Reemer of this city and Earnest
Kitchen of Standpoint have an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the office. 1t is understood
that Henry Traue, chief of police
at Standpoint, will also be a candi
date for this office and friends of
J. +. Armfield of Standpoint, and
F. II. Luce of Albani Falls are urg
ingt hem to become candidates. The
present democratic incumbent of
the office, James P. Kearns. an
nounced some weeks ago that he
would not be candidate for any
Office this year
AT present, Andrew Christensen
seems to be the only candidate in
the field for the Office of county
treasurer 49, He has not announced
his candidacy as yet. w. w.
VonCanon has announced that he
will be a candidate for the Office of
assessor and has no opposition at
present on the republican ticket.
No candidates have announced
themselves for the Office of probate
judge on the republican ticket and
it is probable that there will be no
opposition to Mrs. Nell K. Irion,
the present democratic county sup
erintendent of schools, on the
democratic ticket, should she be-
come a candidate for another term
of Office.
John K Ashley, Jr., of Sand
point, will be a candidate for an
other term as county surveyor and
it is understood that he will be OPP
posed by Clyde Chaffins. Both
these men are residents of Sand
point.
G.. A. Buhrow of this city has
announced his candidacy for the
Office of county prosecuting attor-
ney. A. P. Asher of Standpoint
and o. J. Bandelin, also of Sand
point, are expected to announce
their candidacy for this Office in the
near future.
1t is understood that o. F. Page
Standpoint will be candidate for
another term as state senator on
the republican ticket. Byron S.
Defenbach, also of Standpoint, has
already announced his candidacy
for office and there is some talk of
+. f. Elliott of this city, entering
the race.
S. f. Henry of this city will be
a candidate for state representative
and it is said that +. d. Farmin
of Standpoint and T. ]. Jones of
this city will also be a candi-
dates for this office.
This week, d. c. McColl of
Moravia announced that he would
be candidate for commissioner
from the Third District. 1t is
possible that Joseph Banning of
this city will also be a candidate.

SIX WANT TO
GO TO CONGRESS
Both North and South Represented by
Candidates For Idaho Con-
gressional Honors
FOUR ARE ALREADY ANNOUNCED
Two More Candidates Expected to
Come Out in Near Future

w ltn the primary eleCtlOn III lnlS
state less than two months off and
every indication that the race for
the various offices at the gift of the
people will be spirited, unusual
public interest is centered upon the
contest for the second congress
ional seat apportioned to Idaho
through the showing made i'll the
last census. If other aspirants for
office fail to put i'll an appearance
the race for this states two seats
i'll the lower house will be between
Burton l.. French, Senator B. p.
Shawhan, Robert NJ. McCracken,
G. w. Beale and Addison 7.
Smith. Bartlette Sinclair of Rath-
drum will also probably enter the
race.
1t has been persistently rumored
in political circles that Colonel
Thomas r. Hamer of St. Anthony,
who was defeated by Congressman
Burton l.. French two years ago
for the congressional nomination,
would shy his hat into the ring,
but Colonel Hamer has definitely
settled these reports by the state
ment he will not enter the race.
Is is hardly expected that at this
late hour other candidates will
announce themselves, although
there is still a possibility that some
unlocked for aspirant may decide
to do so.
Burton l.. French is at present
representing this state iii the lower
house and is candidate to succeed
himself. His friends declare that
his election is almost a certainty.
The main opposition that is known
to have developed against him is
in Shoshone county. As an indi-
cation of this his friends point to
the resolutions adopted by the
Republicans there in their recent
county convention to elect dele
gates to the Lewiston state conven-
ton in which they completely
ignored French as we'll as Senator
Borah, but paid high tribute to
Senator Hepburn, who is from
that county.
c. w. Beale, prominent at
torney of north Idaho, who was
honored as being the selected
speaker to address the recent Re
publican convention at Lewiston
is picked as the main opponent to
Mr. French. He will not have
even the solid backing of his home
county, Shoshone, but his friends
are hoping that he may secure a
following in some of the other
northern counties. Mr.. Beale is
a strong advocate of old fashioned
Republican principals and takes
the stand that the party has always
been progressive, so that the claims
of the progressives are there
fore out of harmony. A formal
announcement of his candidacy
and platform are expected at any
time.
While secretary of the Republi
