of Boomers Ferry

A movement is on foot among
the members of the Protestant
denominations of Boomers Ferry to
establish Union church and the
plan for the proposed federation is
to be adopted or rejected at
union meeting which will be held
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
morning, June /, at IL O'Clock.
The union of the various
churches of Boomers Ferry has
been advocated for some time.
Boomers Ferry has three Protestant
church organizations. Other de-
nominations have many members
here but no organized church. In
the past the organized churches
have found it difficult to keep up
their expenses and on account of
smallness of numbers have been
able to accomplish but little.
Wednesday of this week repre-
sentatives of the Methodist, Pres
byterian, Congregational and
Christian churches met and decid-
ed unanimously upon a plan for
the union of the churches and this
plan is to be voted upon by all
churchmembers who attend the
union meeting Sunday.
1t is proposed to unite the work
ing forces of the individuals of all
Protestant denominations at the
same time allowing the individuals
to maintain their denominational
identity. One pastor will be en-
ployed to conduct the union
services. By this method it is
hoped that the church work will
be handled on a large scale and
in better way than it could be
handled by several struggling
congregations. The organization
of the Uuion church is to in NO
way effect the ownership by the
various churches of church prop
erty.
At the meeting of Wednesday s.
committee of six was appointed ito
draw up articles of agreement
which will be submitted at the
Sunday meeting.

DIPLOMAS FOR
CLASS OF SEVEN
Commencement Exercises For High
School Graduates at Kent's
Hall Last Friday Night
E. E. ELLIOTT DELIVERS ADDRESS
Last Event of the 1913 Commence
ment Week

The commencement exercises of
the class of 1913 of the Boomers
Ferry high school were held at
Kent's hall last Friday night and
were attended by large audience.
Hon. E. f. Elliott gave the adj
dress of the evening taking for his
subject, The Human Hand"
In well chosen language he briefly
explained the necessity of training
the hand and advocated the estab-
lishment of a manual training de-
partment in the local schools as a
course which would tend to devel-
ope the student along practical
lines. The speaker asserted that
education was mental, moral, ply
steal and spiritual and that many
schools have heretofore dealt with
the mental phase in educating the
child and have neglected the other
three. A proper combination of
the manual as we'll as the mental
training should be the aim of the
modern school in order to secure
harmonious action of the mind and
hand.
Before and following the address
several musical numbers were
rendered. piano solo by Miss
Vivian Hollinger, vocal solo by
Miss Georgia Loughney and fare
well song by the Misses Georgia
Loughney, Fern Collins, Vivian
Hollinger and Stella Stoos.
Thomas J. Jones, chairman of
the board of education, presented
the members of the graduating
class-Fern Collins, Vivian Holl-
niger, Stella Stoos, Georgia Tough
ney, Lester Plato, Jack Collins
and Thomas Lynch-with their
diplomas and and in few closing
remarks called attention to the
growth of the Boomers Ferry
schools and to the increase in the
number of graduates this year over
last year.
Mr.. Jones on behalf of the board
of education, presented a hand
some gold chain to Dean Norton
in recognition of his loyalty in
representing the local schools in
the declamatory contest held at
Standpoint May 2,

600 MEN FOR FOREST SERVICE
Fire Patrol Will Soon be Put on to
Assist the Rangers

Over 600 men will be engaged
shortly to assist the forest rangers
OF this district for the summer,
says the Missoulian. The men
will be engaged on fire protection,
and will incidentally do other
work needed in the forest. 1t is
not known when the season will
end, but last year it was found
expedient to lay them off earlier
than was anticipated, and the
money thus saved went toward
cruising expense and other needs.
The forest service often engages
college students with other men as
guards, providing the student is
husky, willing and adaptable and
young men of this class often find
an excellent opportunity of getting
practical experience of the work
by first-hand knowledge and this
serves them we'll in entering the
service later.
Guards get SIS a month and
have a good chance to save most
of the money because they have
little chance of coming into town.
The work is hard, but interesting,
and many prospectors and settlers
are in their number.
These men will be engaged by
the supervisors of the various
national forests and all of them
will be at work in a couple of
weeks or so.

FIND COPPER NEAR COPELAND
Several Fine Lodges Uncovered on
Thompson Creek 80 Claims Staked

Several fine lodges of copper
bearing ore giving promise OF
carrying large values was dis
covered last week on Thompson
creek about four miles from Cope
land by Ira and Zach Parker.
The news of the find spread
rapidly and some thirty claims
have been staked out by the
Parkers and their neighbors in the
vicinity of Copeland.
Samples of the ore have been
sent away to be assayed and the
returns are expected this week.
Those who have seen the lodges
claim that there is no doubt OF
their richness. The news of the
discovery was brought to town by
L. M. Parker.

TO ORGANIZE
HUGE DISTRICT
Petition to be Filed Asking For Or
ganization of 10000 Acre
Drainage District
TAKES In The WHOLE VALLEY
Whole Work to Be Carried Out Under
One Head

All arrangements have been
completed for the organizing of a
huge drainage district taking in
all of the overlooked lands of the
Kootenai valley between 40, 900
and so, 900 acres-and the petition
to the judge of the district court of
the Eighth Judicial District, asking
that an order be issued for the
formation of the district, will prob
ably be filed today.
The petition has been signed by
a large majority of the owners of
overlooked lands in the Kootenai
valley and it is claimed that there
are but few who do not favor the
plan of placing the direction of the
work of draining the overlooked
lands under the jurisdiction of one
group of commissioners.
The proposed district will take
in all of the low lands below Bon
ners Ferry to the Canadian bound
airy line and some of the lowlands
above Boomers Ferry.
Those who are favoring the or
ganization of district taking in
the whole valley claim that the
drainage project can be carried on
more economically under one set
of commissioners than if the work
was divided up among several sets
of commissioners acting for differ
ent drainage districts. If the
drainage plans are successful the
cooperation of the Canadians on
the Canada side of the Koot-
enai valley must be sec ured and it
is believed that such cooperation
could not be secured if the Amer
lean side of the valley were to be
divided into several small districts
under the supervision of a dozen
or more commissioners.

START BIG DRIVE NEXT WEEK
High Water Brings Too Many Logs
Down at One Time

The Boomers Ferry Lumber
company will put crew of men at
work the first of next week on the
drive from Warland, Mont. The
rear drive is expected to arrive at
the mill here in about three weeks.
Some 100000 feet of logs will
be handled on this drive.
The rapid raising of the Koot-
enai river Saturday and Sunday
brought so many logs down the
river that the booms at the mill
were soon filled and it became nee
essary to float the logs below the
mill to the Murphey boom.
About one and half million feet
of logs will be handled from the
latter boom and will be taken back
to the mill by rail.

Runaway Tuesday Afternoon

A serious accident was narrowly
averted in a runaway which
occurred Tuesday afternoon on
Main street. One of the horses
driven by Charles McGlocklin
caught its bride on the wagon
tongue and jerked it off, became
frightened and unmanageable and
started down Main street to the
bridge and just missed running
over Mrs. A. B. Ashby and her
two sisters. The team ran into
a team belonging to Thomas Mills
and broke the wagon tongue of
the wagon. No other particular
damage was done.

THREE HUNDRED
WENT TOCRESTON
Ezcursionists From Boomers Ferry
Swelled Crowds at crsston Vic,
toris Day Celebration Saturday
THREE AUTOMOBILES MADE TRIP


Nearly 800 people from Boomers
Ferry, Copeland and Porthill at
tended the Victoria Day celebration
at Creston, B. c. last Saturday.
Most of the excursionists went to
Creston on the special train over
the Kootenai Valley railway which
left this place early in the morn
ing and returned shortly after mid
night. Messrs. Moore, Brody and
Chastek, together with their wives
and friends, made the trip to Cres-
ton in their Ford automobiles and
returned home Sunday morning.
The Creston celebration had no
disappointment and the scheduled
program was carried out without a
hitch excepting for the delay
caused by the lateness of the Bon
ners Ferry excursion train. The
day was an ideal one and everyone
had a good time. The Croston
people were courteous and spared
no effort in their demonstrations
of hospitality.
The athletic contests were held
first and were witnessed by good
sized crowds. Eric DeWolf won
the hop, skip, step and a jump
contest and the running broad
jump and lost the 100 yard dash
by fluke. R. Belcher won sec
ond in the running broad jump
contest. The pole vault contest
was the most exciting of all the
sports and was called a draw at
eight feet six inches between
Campbell of Boomers Ferry and
and Bricker of Cranbrook. Bricker
was the star athlete of the contests
and took 6rsts in everything he
entered.
The baseball game between Cres-
ton and Boomers Ferry was one
sided affair and when after a
couple hours batting practice for
Boomers Ferry the game came to
finish the score stood Fl to 3
against Creston. After the first
inning Boomers Ferry hit and
scored at will. Srellnauer and
Larson were the battery for the
home team.
Creston's three scores were made
in the first inning when Embree
went to first on an error by Larson.
McPeak sacrificed and Strelnauer
booted the ball. Cameron took a
clean hit to left field and Embree
tried to score but was caught at
home plate. McPeak scored on
hit to center field by Hunt and
Cameron stole second and third
base and scored on a passed ball
when Skivington famed. Hunt
stole second and scored on an over
throw by Strellnauer to first base
when Thompson hunted to the
rubber. The game was umpired
by ]. c. English of Porthill.
The game between the Creston
junior team and the Boomers Ferry
junior team was a farce but the
players and the crowd made the
best of it. The score was some
thing like % to 8 in favor of Bon
ners Ferry.
The horse races and the Indian
sports were pulled off after the
ball games. Everyone took
lively interest in these sports.
The Boomers Ferry band gave an
afternoon and evening concert.
The celebration ended with dance.

taken advantage of the period OF
grace offered them, and the returns
have been increased by more than
