collision. The force with which
the handcar struck the boxcar
hurled its occupants several feet

CLEARED HUNDRED DOLLARS
Local Talent Minstrel Show Pleased
Large Audience Grand Success

Through a mishap the account
of the minstrel show which was
given on Friday, October IS, by
local talent and under the auspices
of the Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club, was pied" just before the
HERALD went to press and at a
time when it was too late to reset
it.
The show was a success from
every standpoint. 1t was attended
by lar0er audience than has ever
before assembled in this city and
the total door receipts amounted to
$3.50. Of this sum 500 was
turned over to the commercial club
to be used for publicity purposes.
Those who attended the show speak
in the highest terms of the work of
those in the caste. The songs were
new and catchy and the jokes were
pleasing.
The young men who took charge
of the performance from the begin
ming and who lent their services to
the Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club have every reason to be proud
of the success of the performance.

SERIOUS FIRE
TUESDAY MORN
Broke Out In Building Occupied By
Idaho Meat Co-0rigin Not Known
LOSSES ESTIMATED AT $4,000
Odd Fellow Hall and Alberts Building
Ruined

The most disastrous conhagra
ton which has visited Boomers
Ferry in 5 years broke out Tues
day morning about two o clock in
the rear of the building owned and
occupied by the Idaho Meat Com
pany on the east side of Main street.
The total losses are estimated at
SIG covered by about $1,000
insurance.
No one knows just how the fire
started. Art and Charlie Zim
norman were awakened about two
O'Clock by the smoke in their room.
Both young men asserted, that to
the best of their knowledge, there
was no fire in any of the heating
stoves of the building when they
retired. The young men had an
oil stove in their room but this
heater was put out long before
they went to sleep.
The Boomers Ferry volunteer fire
department were on hand few
minutes after the alarm had been
turned in and although the flames
had gained a tremendous Roadway
and it seemed impossible to save
the block of adjoining. frame build
ings, the fire was subdued after it
had Quilted the Idaho Meat Market
building, the Odd Fellows Hall
and the George Alberts building.
The work of the Bonners Ferry
volunteer fire department was
most praise worthy. Everyone
worked with a will in the cold and
under preverse conditions. On
several occasions the fire fighters
risked injuries in their attempts to
save the burning buildings,
The Bonner Water & Light
company gave the best of service
ct the time of the fire, Six streams
of water played ON the flames
for a couple of hours and during
this time an average pressure of so
pounds was kept up,
The heaviest loss was sustained
by l.. M, Parker and the Idaho
Meat Company. Mr.. Parker is
president of the Idaho Meat COM
pany and estimates his company S
loss and his personal losses at SO
$50, with about 81, 900 insurance.
The loss to the Odd Fellow lodge
is estimated at S., 900 with 81, 500
insurance. George Alberts figures
his property loss at 81 900 with
$500 insurance. r. r. Belcher,
proprietor of the Utopia theater es-
Inmates his loss at $500. ]. H.
Hoagland, proprietor of the Pastime
Cigar Store estimates his loss at 81
600 with $3.50 insurance. A num-
Der of business men in the vicinity
of the fire sustained slight losses
through moving their goods and
hy reason of water.
1t is understood that the Idaho
Meat Company and the Odd Eel
low lodge will rebuild immediate

precincts to be heard from in the
state elections and are still eight
precincts to be heard from for the
county election it is conceded by
the democrats and progressive that
the republicans have elected their
state and county ticket. In the
national election Woodrow Wilson
was elected by large majorities.
According to returns now in the
State of Idaho will give Taft an
electoral vote of 4 900 over Wilson
with Roosevelt poor third.
Both branches of the legislature
will be overwhelmingly republican
and Senator Borah's reelection to
the Unit ed States senate is certain.
The stand-pat republican element
will control in the election of sue
cessor to Senator Hepburn. The
republican state chairman claims
the election of II of the "a Senators
and 43 of the 90 representatives in
the legislature.
Burton L. French, republican,
was reelected to congress by about
4 900 votes and ADDISON T. Smith,
the other republican nominee will
probably win by a much smaller
plurality over Pugmire and Mitch
ell, democrats, and Smock, prog
ressive. French and Smiths plur-
atty in Ada county will be approx
mately 500.
That John M. Haines, republi-
can candidate for governor, will be
elected by majority of some a, =
600 votes is generally admitted
over the state. Mr.. Haines re-
ceived large majorities from the
southeastern counties of the state
and fair share of the vote in cen
raj and northern counties.
The returns of the election in
Bonner county came in slowly and
there were eight precincts to hear

The night before election was
one not soon to be forgotten in
Boomers Ferry. To old timers the
night brought back memories of
former days when the interest in
election days was far more animat-
ed and conferred tnan it has been in
the last decade.
The Bull Moose of Standpoint
were largely responsible for the
hilarious evening. The Democrats
also took hand in the running of
the affairs of the evening while the
good old Republicans sat back and
watched the fun, which started
with the arrival of the special train
of 48 Standpoint Bull | Meese who
came to Boomers Ferry Monday
evening to help constitute the
crowd of 90 people who assembled
at kent'S hall to listen TO the Pro-
gressive candidate for governor
G.. H. Martin.
About 8 O'Clock the Democrats
decided to advertise their last cam
paign meeting and according Sc
cured an improvised band which
paraded the streets and which was
followed by band of public school
students who took delight in divid-
ing their shouts for Taft, Roosevelt
and Wilson. The Bull Meese Sc
cured megaphones and tried to
drowned out the announcements of
the Democrats but at last gave up
the attempt and consoled them
selves with the burning of red
powder.

The announcement made recently oil
prospective changes in two properties or
II street. one near 10th street and the
other near nth street northwest so as
| to adapt them for business uses attracted
attention on the part of owners and
| investors that was far In excess Of the
| individual importance OF the two under
| takings as merely building improvements
The explanation. Of course, is to be found
in the probable future of H street
There is no doubt in the minds of many
| Of those who are familiar with the course
of business expansion In this city that
ultimately H street west OF 7th street
is to become a part of the business Sec
ton.
A beginning in that direction was made
some time ago, and 1t has progressed
more rapidly since the opening OF the
Union station and. the future Of the thor
oughfare became more evident. It is be-
lieved that the improvements which have
progressed steadily on G street will be
duplicated on II street, and. OF course, on
the intersecting side streets. The resi-
dence structures will give way to build
ings adapted for business purposes, and In
many cases entirely new structures will
be erected.
Large Area Available.
The area available for this purpose is
large. as 1t is not merely the east and
west street that comes into use. but also
the side streets. In addition. the north
ern boundary Is not fixed at H street.
but goes beyond and includes at the pres
ent time New York avenue, especially the
block just west Of 9th street in the east
ern section. while to the west Of 18th
the avenue is already In the thick of
business. Owing to the transverse course
of the avenue, while it crosses 9th street
near K street, at 14th. street it is near G
street, and this tendency toward the
south Is all the time bringing 1t toward
the business center.
In addition to the expansion to the
north. the business section is also
stretching out to the west and north
west with long arms, like 7th and 14th
streets and Connecticut avenue. so that
there appears to be ample room for the
growth OF business. AS is always the
case with movements of this sort. specu-
lative buying keeps in the advance. fol-
lowed by a period of improvement to
supply the buildings demanded. The
rate Of progress Of the latter. Of course.
is dependent upon the growth Of bust
ness. and in the case OF this city, with
Its steady increase in population. there
Is a constant expansion in the facilities
for providing the community with sup
plies Of various sorts.
