ASK $4,000 FOR PORTHILL ROAD
Legislature to be Petitioned For APP
preparation For Need Roaded

A petition is being circulated
today in Boomers Ferry and others
will be circulated during the week
the northern end of
Bonner county in which the state
legislature is asked to appropriate
the sum of SIS, 900 to be used in
the construction of a road from
Boomers Ferry to the Boundary
line at Porthill.
The petition is being signed by
all those to whom it is presented
for the need of road to Porthill is
apparent to all who are familiar
with conditions. The present
road to Porthill is impossible the
greater part of the year and the
hundreds of people living between
Boomers Ferry and Porthill have
no ready means of reaching either
town. 1t is claimed that SIS, 900
will just about pay for the con
struction of a durable road.

CONSTRUCT BRICK BUILDING
l. M. Parker Lays Plans For Two
Story Brick on Main Street

According to information given
cut today L. NJ. Parker will begin
the construction, in the early
spring. of a SIS, 900 two story brick
building on the site of the Idaho
Meat Market building which was
destroyed by FIRE some months ago.

age of 573 feet on Main street as
Mr.. Parker has arranged to buy
l23 feet of frontage from the local
i. o. o. F. lodge at a cost of
$40 per front foot. The building
is to have depth of 90 feet.
The plans of the building pro-
vide for a large basement and the
structure will be modern in every
respect. The lower floor will be
used for store purposes and the
upper story for Office rooms.
Plans for a number of other
large brick buildings for the bust
ness section of Bonners Ferry are
now being made and from all pre-
sent indications it seems that this
city will see building boom this
coming season.

George Campbell Stole Raxers aad
Knives Early Monday Morning

George Campbell was arrested
Monday by Village Marshal
Worley on the charge of having
broken into the Cook Drug store
and stolen a number of knives and
razors. When arrested Campbell
was in a drunken condition and
was engaged in disposing of $500
knives for rs cents apiece or what
ever sum he could get for them
from lumberjacks in town.

entered the drug store through
the front door which is rarely kept
locked. Cook was in the rear of
the store when Campbell was
rifling the show cases.

said. I have got you by the neck
now you and then it happened "
According to Deputy Sheriff
Fletcher, the man Cameron Is
known as a general bad character
in the various lumber camps OF the
county and was only recently dis
charged from the Jail at Standpoint
on charge of vagrancy. He is
known by several names, the best
known being that of MacGregor
and makes specially of strong arm
work among drunken lumberjacks.
The latest development in the
case was the finding, Tuesday
morning, of bullet holes in the
pillow and mattress of the bed in
which Allison had slept by the
chambermaid of the English hotel.
Inquiry brought out the fact that
several people in the hotel had
heard a shot fired about a half
hour before the killing of Cameron
but did not know where it was and
so paid little attention to it.

and in shooting baskets.

favor of Boomers. The second
period was more even, Boomers

score by shooting baskets from the
guard position.

to Boomers Ferry for return game

will play practically the same line

Heathershaw, McGlockin and
Harris will be ready to play a part
of the game Saturday night. All

against the first team and have
given the regulars some close

OPERATE SAWMILL MARCH ]
thousand Men Now Employed by
Local Company in Woods

Judging from the supply of logs
now on hand and by the rate that
logs are being received at the mill
and at points along the Kootenai
river and its tributaries preparatory
for the spring drives the Bonners
Ferry Lumber company will open
the saving season the first of
March with some As, 100000 feet
of logs in its ponds.
The weather and snow depth
the past week has been admirable
for logging purposes and the Bon
ners Ferry Lumber company has
kept all its camps operating with
full forces. Counting the men EN-
ployed by contractors working for
the company it is figured that over
l 900 men are now engaged in the
woods in getting out logs for the
Boomers Ferry Lumber company
100 men are being worked at Camp
10 near Porthill, II men at Camp
IA, $50 men at Camp Is and about
80 men at Camp 9. The three

He made but little Roadway in his
efforts to stay the flames single
handed and when Mr.. Smith and
neighbors were attracted by the
flames the building was unsafe tc

desperate effort to reach the second
story of the building in order to

was overcome by smoke anc

Smith was severely cut on the
wrist during the fire by piece o.

ARE SELLING CUT OVER LANDS
Boomers Ferry Lumber Company Aid,
In Development Work Of County

The Boomers Ferry Lumber
company owns in the neighborhood
of 2,015 acres of cutover land in
the northern end of Bonner county.
1t is the policy of the company to
sell this land as fast as buyers ask
for it and last year the company
disposed of over half of its hold
ings. The land sold last year
brought on an average of SO per
acre some land selling for as high
as SIS an acre and some selling as
low as $40 an acre. Much of the
land owned by the Bonners Ferry
Lumber company is strictly agri-
cultural and is easily cleared
The company makes it point to
encourage development and clear
ing of cut-over lands. An instance
is given of man who bought
forty acres from the company last
year and was required to make an
initial payment of only $50 with
long time on the balance. After
practically giving him the land the
lumber company advanced lumber
for all the buildings he required.

DIVISION BILL
IS UNCERTAIN
House Committee Of Legislature Has
Made No Report On Boundary
County Division Bill
NORTH END IS WORKING HARD
Refute Remonstrances Secured By
Misrepresentation at Addie

III SpllC VI TIC ldlu Hsht Dla6
made against the proposed dividing
of Bonner county by Farmin and
Conner, Bonner county representa-
tives in the state legislature from
Standpoint, the people of the north
end continue to look for favorable
reports from the bill which was
introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives some time ago by Repre-
sentative Elliott and which calls
for the creation of Boundary county
from the north end of Bonner
county.
Those most interested in the
county division fight have not been
idle this week. The first of the
week Boomers Ferry people learned
that a petition against county divi-
sion had been circulated at Addie
and Passport and Porthill and
some signatures had been obtained.
A representative was sent to each
of these towns and it was learned
that the signatures to the remon-
STRANGE had been gained through
Misrepresentation and that one
man had been prevailed upon to
sign the remonstrance while he
was in a drunken condition. Any
method was used to secure sigma
lures to the remonstrance. The
remonstrance also contained the
name of man and his wife who
made a written statement that
they had never signed such a
paper. From this statement Il
seems that in one case at least
forgery was resorted to by an OPP
ponent of county division.
During the week many conflict
ing reports have been received from
Boise. On the whole the situation
is encouraging. The St Joe coun-
ty division bill and the Boundary
county division bill were both
brought before the committee al
the same time and while no report
was made upon the latter bill ..tht
former bill was unfavorable report
ed upon. Local people believe
that if the Boundary county bill
was to have been killed the com
1nittee would have wasted but little
time in doing so. A report from
Boise on Monday says: 1t now
seems probable that the house com
mittee on county lines and bound
aries will report favorably on the
Elliott bill to create Boundary
county out of a part of Bonner
county. There is likely to be {
minority report and hot fight Oh
the floor of the house. "
Northern Idaho is taking a grea
deal of interest in the county divi
sion fights in the legislature and j.
also wondering if this part of the
state is going to get anything from
this session of the legislature. The
Legislature is now half over and 81
far the North has received nothinf
it asked for.
Two United States senators hav,
been elected, both from the south
Four new counties have been Great
ed and four more are practically
certain of being provided for. al
in southern Idaho, Two are to b,
cut out of Fremont county, on,
out of Boise and one out of Can
yon county.
Eight new counties will natural,
add to the political power of ever,
Legislature after the present one
because each county will have
state senator and additional repre-
sentatives in the lower house.
