CHARLES G. REEDER OPTIMISTIC
Believes Drainage Of Overlooked Lands
Will Soon Be Reality

Charles C. Reeder of Spokane
was a business visitor in this city
the forepart of the week, returning
home Tuesday morning. Mr..
Reeder is a large holder of over
flowed lands in the Kootenai valley
and is greatly interested in the
proposition of draining these lands
of which there are many thousand
acres. Mr.. Reeder has recently
been in conference with people of
Creston, B. c., who are also inter
ested in the drainage question. /
have never felt so confident over
the final successful outcome of our
drainage plans as do at the pres
ent time, said Mr.. Reeder Tues
day morning, and this feeling is
largely due to the enthusiasm dis
played by our Canadian friends
and the manner in which they are
going about to secure the drainage
of their overlooked lands. Mr.
Reeder said that he was in expec
tation that the Idaho legislator,
would soon pass new drainage
law which would enable the peopl,
of the Kootenai valley to reorgan
. i've and to go about their origina
plans of draining the overhowe,
lands,

CHEF SLASHES NEGRO PORTER
Battle Royal Waged in Great Northern
Dining Car Friday Night

Acting upon the advice of the
conductor of Great Northern pas
senger train No. a., Marshal Wor-
ley took J. c. Matthews and Rob
ert Wiley, the former a porter and
the latter a waiter, into custody
last Friday evening upon the ar
rival of the train at this station.
Both men were mixed up in a
fight which took place in the din
ing car of the train soon after it
had passed the station at Elmira.
Matthews bore a momento of the
fight in the shape of a knife cut
over the right kidney. The cash
was made by a bread knife which
had been used by the white chef OF
the dining car. No charges were
preferred in the case and Marshal
Morley turned both men loose Sat
urday morning.
Matthews claimed that he had
had never had words with the chef
and that the attack was unpro-
voked. He claimed that the quar-
rel with Wiley in the dining cal
came about over the refusal o
Wiley to give him milk for hi
coffee.

rate from this place on cordwood
or any other commodity which was
TO be shipped into Spokane or any
other territory governed by the In
terstate commerce commission act
the interstate commerce commission
would compel an equivalent reduc-
ton before the rate were even put
nto effect.
Mr.. Chamberlain informed the
gathering that he believed the
Kootenai Valley and the Upper
Flathead Valley had the finest eli
mate of any spot in America, and
he told that this opinion had been
expressed by him at least 1000
times at various land shows and
public gatherings in eastern states.
The Kootenai Valley" said Mr..
Chamberlain, is the best spot that
l know of in America for white
man to come to for the purpose of
making a home"
The speaker gave the CONNER
cial club members some valuable
hints along the proper lines of adj
vertising the Kootenai Valley in
eastern states and said that he
thought if the proper steps were
taken the Great Northern railway
would furnish a car and in many
other ways help the publicity work
of the Kootenai Valley along if
the request for the car was made
from the valley as a whole and not
from any one town. This car
could be loaded with products
from all over the valley and the
railway company would take it
into districts in the east where
such advertising would be of bene-
fit.
Mr.. Chamberlain advised that
great benefits would result if the
people of this community could be
induced to write more frequent
letters to relatives and friends in
the east in which information was
given of the climate and crop pro-
auctions.
The speaker talked for some
time along the line that the great
est need of the Kootenai Valley
and all western country was more
skill, more actual knowledge of
scientific farming methods and he
brought out this point with many
striking illustrations. Along this
line Mr.. Chamberlain deplored the
fact that this district could not
have a better school than
il now has, and said that judging
from the school buildings of Bon
ners Ferry and those of other
towns of the same size in other
parts of the country, the parents
of this community did not figure
that their children were entitled to
the same advantages as the chill
dren of people in neighboring
towns. He told of having visited
the schools of Billings. Mont.
where industrial departments are
maintained and commented upon
the fact that the young people of
Billings are not only being given a
mental education but also a prac-
teal education which will fit them
to better earn a livelihood upon
leaving school.
The address given by Mr.. Cham
berlain was one which should have
been heard by every person of a
thinking age in Boomers Ferry and
the Kootenai Valley, and it is tc
be regretted that lack of space and
time allows the Herald to only
publish a brief and quite unsatis

STANDPOINT TO
OPPOSE BILL
County Seat Commercial Club to Make
Fight Against Proposed
County Division
URGE OTHER TOWNS INTO FIGHT
Petition Being Rapidly Signed in North
ern Bonner County

AT the time of going to press
today it is estimated that some
1000 residents of the north end OF
Bonner county have signed the pc
titions which were circulated dur
ing the past week in which the di-
vision of Bonner county is asked.
Petitions have been circulated in
all parts of the Kootenai valley |
and are in the hands of those who |
will work hard for the cause in the |
short time remaining before the
petitions must be sent to represen-
tative Elliott of the Idaho legisla-
ture. l. J. Causton circulated a
petition in the neighborhoods OF
Moravia, Naples aud Elmira dur
ing the week and had great sue
cess in securing signatures. James
Dolan secured the signatures of
practically every resident of the
Porthill and Copeland districts
last Friday, Saturday and Sun
day.
Up to the present time no great
opposition to the proposed county
division has been made. North
Bonner county is unanimously in
favor of the division and many res
idents of Standpoint and the south
ern part of the county have ex-
pressed themselves as favoring the
proposition. Neither of the Sand
point newspapers have editorially
expressed themselves as favoring
or disfavoring the division asked
by North Bonner county, although
the Standpoint Commercial club
took up the matter at a meeting
held Wednesday and the following
resolutions were adopted after some
argument and considerable oppo-
sition of a number of the members
of that organization including II.
V. Williams and Myrvin Davis,
the former merchant and chair
man of the County Republican
Central Committee, and the latter
O prominent attorney;
Whereas, a movement has been
inaugurated in the north end OF
the county to divide Bonner county
on q line running east and west at
or about the north line of town
ship SO, and
Whereas, we believe that such
division is neither justified MOI
would be for the interests of the
people of the county nor of any
portion thereof, but instead would
be detriment in many ways and
entail heavy and needless expense
upon the already burdened tax
payers;
Resolved by the commercial
club of Standpoint that we protest
against such proposed action ant
request the senator and represen.
tatives from this county in the leg
islature to oppose any Legislation
looking to such or any division anC
to use all honorable means to de
feat any legislation looking to thi
end.
Resolved that the citizens O
the neighboring towns and tn
county generally opposed to the di
vision of the county be urged t
take action in line with this to de
feat county division.
Resolved, that copies of thes
resolutions be sent to Senator De
enbach, and Representatives Fal
min, Conner and Elliott and to ii
several commercial clubs and 9th,
similar organizations in IL
county"

Cornell Plans New Plays
Against Bucknell Team

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 1S.-That Cor
nell will play an open game against
Bucknell today and that the Ithacans
will try out a number Of new plays
was indicated last evening at the
final practise of the varsity team held
in the baseball cage at Alumni Field.
Although the regular team Will be
in the lineup at the outset, DR.. Sharpe
expects to make number of substi-
tutions early in the game, replacing
Barrett at quarterback by Taber,
Williamson at left tackle by Guyer.
Rees at left end by Mehaffey and
McCutcheon at right guard by Sher-
wood The substitution in the cases
of Barrett and Williamson will come
because both of the regulars are in
poor shape. The others will be made
to give the substitutes a chance to
demonstrate in a game what they
have in practise, that they are SUI
perior to the varsity players. Cor
nell will be handicapped in the punt
ing game by the condition Of Barrett.
The balance of the Cornell team Is
in good shape and is expected to
show more offensive strength than
last week.
