The Boomers Ferry band gave
the first of a series of open air con-
certs, planned for the summer, on
Main street Wednesday night.
Several hundred people thronged
the sidewalks to listen to the
music. The organization has
reached a point, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Allison, where it is
credit to the town and for that
matter would be credit to a town
of two or three times the popula-
ton of Boomers Ferry. The band
boys should be encouraged in
every way possible by the citizens
of Boomers Ferry.

NO DANGER OF
HIGH WATER
bikes Along River Banks Protect Boa
ners Ferry From Flooding By
kootensi River
VOLUNTEERS WORKED TUESDAY
Little Unusual Damage By High Water
This Spring

Although the Kootenai river is
running nearly as high as it did
during the high water period of
1894 no damage has been done in
Boomers Ferry and at the present
time there seems to be no reason
to fear an overflow. The river
was at its highest point Wednes-
day morning when the gage on the
county bridge showed it to have
reached the 900 foot mark.
Precautionary measures were
taken this year to prevent the
overlooking of the town by the
river and the village trustees spent
over $500 in the building of levees
along the banks of the Kootenai
above and below town. Tuesday
over 200 citizens of the town
volunteered their services on the
dikes in addition to the work be-
ing done by the paid employees of
the city and it is estimated that
$500 sacks of dirt and over $50
loads of dirt were placed along the
river banks. The tops of these
dikes are some two feet above the
level of the water. The work on
the dixie will be continued aud
they will be made permanent so
that all fear of high water damages
such as occurred in 1894 will be
removed. 1t was estimated today
that some 700 loads of dirt had
been used ON the dikes during the
past five days.
The overflow of water in the
sloughs adjacent to Boomers Ferry
this year is not as great as has
been experienced almost every
other previous year.
Below Boomers Ferry the bottom
lands are all under water and
many of the ranchers have moved
to the hills. The flooding of these
lands is an every year experience
and is looked for and expected
each spring. The water usually
subsidies in few weeks.
The rise of the Kootenai river
this spring was unexpected and
came at least two weeks sooner
than it did last year. The high
water caused some loss to timber
men who had logs and poles piled
along the river banks and who
were unable to handle them be-
fore the high water had carried
them down the river,

Band boys To Give Dance

The Boomers Ferry band will

an event which the dancing public

here in several years to dance to
band music. The band boys will
make every effort to show the pub
lie good time at this dance,

UNION CHURCH
IDEA FAVORED
Congregation at Union Services Last
Sunday Unanimous for Union
of Denominations
FINISH ORGANIZATION SUNDAY
Offices VIII Be Elected-Select
New Pastor

AT the union church services
held last Sunday at the Presbyter-
ian church a vote was taken by the
congregation upon the question of
whether or not to proceed with the
organization of a Union church
which would unite the working
forces of all Protestant denomina-
tons of the town under the di-
rection of one minister. The con-
gregation was unanimously in
favor of the Union church and
another union service is to be held
Sunday, June 8, at the Methodist
church at IL a. m. for the purpose
of electing officers and completing
the organization.
Following the organization of
the union church Rev. J. V. Stan
ley, recently from Purcell. Okla.
will preach.
The plan to unite all the
churches of Boomers Ferry and
form a union church but at the
same time allowing all denomina-
tions to maintain their denomina-
tional identity has met with no
opposition so far and none is ex-
pected. The union of the protest
ant denominations represented in
this town would mean a member
ship for the Union church of some
800 or more.
As soon as the Union church
organization is effected the problem
of securing a pastor will be taken
up. Upon the efficiency and
diplomacy of the pastor will de-
pend to a large degree the success:
of the Union church idea in thi:
town. Rev. J. V. Stanley, who
has held several important pastor
ates in the middle west states, ha,
been prominently mentioned fol-
the place and will probably bt
/: elected if he can be prevailed upor
to accept the nomination.

general merchandise store on the
Island, died at his home Saturday
night of heart failure. The body
was shipped to Chippewa Falls,
Wis. Monday where the funeral
services were held yesterday.
The death of the deceased was
unexpected. He was nearly SO
years old and is survived by his
wife, three brothers and a sister
living here and his mother and a
brother and a sister living at
Chippewa Falls. The body was
taken east by a sister, Mrs.
O'Brien and a brother, Henry
Hanson.
The deceased was a member of
the l. O.. 0. +. and members of
the lodge acted as pallbearers when
the body was taken from the resi-
dence to the G. N. depot for ship
ment. Floral tributes were made
by the Odd Fellow lodge, the Re-
bekah lodge and the business men
of the town.
The deceased had resided here a
little over a year and in this time
had made a host of friends. He
was of kindly disposition, square
and honest in his business deal
ings. His family and relatives
have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community.

HISTORY OF
1894 FLOOD
Old Herald" File Tells Of First and
Lasa Great Overflow Of
the Kootenai
IS A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Waters Raced Down Main Business
Streets Several Weeks

In view of the fact that the
Kootenai river is higher this year
than it has ever been before with
the exception of the spring 1894
it will no doubt be interesting to
the old settlers and those who
have come here to reside since the
date mentioned above to read the
account of the overflow of the
Kootenai as it was published in the
Kootenai Herald" (the name was
afterwards changed to the Boomers
Ferry Herald) by S. D. Taylor who
founded the paper in this town
nearly % years ago. The follow
ing paragraphs are taken from the
Kootenai Herald" dated June %,
1894:
This office not being provided
with the paraphernalia for sub
marine printing, the HERALD has
been forced to suspend publication
for four weeks. In other words
we have been experiencing some
of the stern realities of the Kootenai
Valley food, our presses having
been under as much as 7 feet of
water. But the water having sub
sided, we again greet our readers,
our faith in the Kootenai country
unshattered by the calamity which
the Kootenai Valley, in common
with every other valley in the
Northwest has suffered.
Many of our readers know the
story ofthe food here. In fact
there are unmistakable evidences OF
it about town which speak the story
in far more positive language than
we could assert it, yet few words
on the subject in this, our first
issue since the subsistence of the
water, will not be out place.
To begin with we have had the
worst flood in the knowledge of the
oldest white or red man in the val
ley. Chief Isaac, of the Kootenais,
figures it out that SO years ago the
water arose high enough to drive
the Indians out of the valley to the
high lands. But as he describes il
the water was not so high that year
as this.
About the goth of May the banks
of the river began to get dangerous
ly full, and on the 22nd it was over
flowing. Since that date we have
not had passenger train.
The water continued to raise
at the rate of a foot a day until
the entire business portion of the
town was submerged, the water rails
ing from 3 to S feet over the banks,
from the foot of main street in Bon
nerport down to the postoffice. All
had 10 move out except the Kaiser
House people, and they had to con
duct the hotel on the second floor
The water was 7 to 8 feet in the
Yankee Kitchen and the Hummer
building, in the. Great Northern
Addition.
In the Eaton Addition, between
the railroad and the river, the wa
ter was above the caves of tn,
houses in the lower places, which
appeared to be from the site of tn
city Jail through towards Green
Cooks place on Main street an,
several houses were foated off thei
foundations. The only dry Ian,
in that part of town was the littl
knob at the east end. This localit,
and at Eaton's store and Cottag
Avenue were the only portions o

great TERMS player who Will stand up
to the mark set by Maurice McLaugh-
lin, the plucky San Francisco lad who
holds the national title. 1t will surprise
experts who saw the tournament Of the
Coronado Country Club. at which many
California cracks played. Mclaughlin
and Tom Bundy, also we'll known as an
expert racket wielder, were not en-
trants, but two others were who showed
more class than the experts expected.
They are William johnson. the State

like johnson, is a San Franciscan.
Johnson held his own, and going
through a grilling list Of games. defeat
ed Strachan in the finals OF the mems
singles. but Strachan's wonderful play
ing made him mighty hard to beat, and
many predicted that before long he
would be up among the very best.
Strachan is only eighteen years old,
and his playing was all the more note
worthy because of his age. He showed
the form Of an old-timer, and seemed
to lack nothing but experience. His
smashes and hard serves were the
fercest ever seen on local courts. and,
what is more. they were surprisingly
accurate. He has an ideal build for q

Tigers Are Watching
Work of Corriden

NEW ORLEANS, La, March H.-The
Tigers are watching Red Corriden,
the peppery little shortstop released by
the Tigers to the Chicago Cubs, after
a thorough trial last season.
The news that he had been relegated
to second place to make way for the
veteran. Al Bridwell, was not uneX-
pected here. However, hope is held out
for Corriden in that BridweIl may prove
too old to hold down Tinker's old job.
The Tigers were satisfied that Red
was not of major league caliber. How
ever. one Of those peculiar twists that
baseball takes left him floating on the
sea Of uncertainty just when there We're
no shortstops available to fill the posi-
ton left vacant by Tinker. and Red
was grabbed, in spite of persistent re-
ports as to his lack of ability.
Corriden is a likable little fellow,
and the Tigers are strong for him to
make good with the Cubs.

Bout at Gayety Tonight

Young Olsen, the Newfoundland
middleweight wrestler who has made
one of the pest records in Washington
of any athlete TO visit here. will take
on his most formidable foe for middle
weight honors tonight at the Gayety
Theater. Jonn Eilonis, is the man re-

idable, for he Is one of the best 20
show up in Washington. During
wrestling season many are introduced
from the stage to challenge a winner,
but few are really worthy Of the
honors they seek.
Kilonis first appeared in Washington
in quest of a match one gear ago. Few
knew much ahcut his ability on the
mat, but in his turn, he was given
chance to meet the local favorite, Joe
Turner. From the first he made q
strong impression with the fans and
with the theatrical managers, so much
so, in fact, that one Of the Washing
ton theaters has given him work nearly
every week His work tonight will be
watched closely, and he may be matcn-
