MIRA. Henry selovsr was In town
yesterday On her way from Cope
land, where she ras been visiting
with her son, N. R. Selover, to her
home at Gladstone, MINI. While
in town Mrs. Selover made a NUM-
Der of inquiries in the hopes of
finding some clue to the where
abouts of her son, John, who
started for Gladstone in March,
1910, and who has not been heard
of since. Mrs. Selover has pa
tiently tried every means and run
down a number of clues in her en-
deavors to find her son. He had
considerable money on his person
when he left this vicinity and it is
feared he may have met with foul
play. He was man of no bad
habits and never caused his rela-
tives any anxious moments or
worry.

ANNEX NEW
TERRITORY
Additions and Acre Tracts South and
North Of Town Taken Into
Corporate Limits.
TOWN BOARD ACTS ON PETITIONS
Increases Territory and Gives zoo
More Population.

The corporate limits of the town
of Boomers Ferry were increased
by approximately one-fourth and
the population of the town in
creased by about 200 when the
board of trustees passed ordinances
No. SO, 81 and SO on Tuesday
night, which provide for the &C
curing of territory known as Nc
Near Acre Tracts, McNear 8
Sunnyside Addition, Park .Addi-
ton, Riverview Addition and GER
tain territory adjoining the above
named additions and tracts.
The matter of taking the addi-
tions named into the corporate
limits has been urged upon the
town council for some time. Re-
Gently petitions asking for annexa-
ton were presented to the board.
The petitions were signed by prac-
tically all of the property holders
of the district affected and so final
action was taken by the town
officials.
The action of the board will
have no effect upon the tax levy of
the property taken into the town
this year as the tax rolls of the
county for 1914 are being entered
now. The new territory will, how
ever, give the town a greatly in
creased valuation next year.
At the Tuesday night meeting
w. O. Rosebaugh presented a pc
tition to the board of trustees which
was signed by all but three of the
property owners involved and one
of these had given his verbal con-
sent, in which the annexation of
some "a lots adjoining McNear' 5
Sunnyside Addition was asked.
There being no remonstrance to
the petition, it was unanimously
granted by the board and an ordi-
nance passed annexing the terri
tory. The petition was signed by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Rosebaugh,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Dore, A. j.
Kent and Dell Cane.

new TOWN ON
NORTHSIDE
Residents Of Wrighfs Addition Petition
County Commissioners For
New Corporation.
CALL 1T NORTH BONNERS FERRY
Expect to Bond For Water and Light
Systems.

n movement WAS Stdi leu Ills
week to form a new town on the
Northside, the proposed corpora
ton to take in territory known as
Wright's Addition to Boomers
Ferry. A majority of the resi-
dents and property owners of the
territory involved expressed them
selves as being favorable to the
plan and signed a petition which
has been presented to the board of
county commissioners, the petition
praying for the incorporation of a
village to be known as North Bon
ners Ferry.
The Idaho law requires that ter
ritory to be incorporated into vii
lage must have at least 2O0-actual
and bona fide residents. The dis
trict on the Northside has about
24O residents,
The petition which has been
presented to the board of county
commissioners contains the names
of o. H. Campbell, Fred Fry, e.
R. Henderson, w. F. Dunning
and Sidney Swartwood as members
of the village board of trustees.
Just what action the board of
county commissioners will take is
hard to say 1t is claimed that
remonstrance against the granting
of the petition is to be filed but the
petitioners seem to be in the ma
jority.
Several reasons have been ad-
vanced by the residents of Wright S
Addition covering their desire for
an incorporated village. One seems
to be that by incorporating the dis
trict it could not be annexed to
Bonners Ferry, the impression hav-
ing been given that this action was
contemplated by the people on the
south side of the Kootenai river
Another is that the new town
would be able to bond for a water
and light system which, it is
claimed. the community is not
likely to get as an unorganized set
Element.
According to word received this
morning from Standpoint, the board
of county commissioners have de-
cided to table the petition praying
for the incorporation of North
Bonners Ferry until such a time as
the boundary lines of the proposed
corporation are changed, it being
claimed that the boundaries pro
posed in the petition take in GER
tain territory which was annexed
to the village of Boomers Ferry at
the regular meeting of the board OF
trustees Tuesday night,
