What will probably be the best
basket ball game of the season 10
scheduled to be pulled of at Kent s
hall tomorrow evening, December
10Th, when the local high school
team will match its basket ball
science against that of the crack
Hillyard, Wash, team.
The visiting team has played
eight games this season and has
only been defeated once and that
this week was by the North Cen
trail High School team of Spokane.
The team has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best ones in the In
land Empire and is considerably
heavier than the local boys. The
Hillyard bunch will have to go
some to beat the home boys and it
is to be hoped that record crowd
will be out tomorrow night 10 root
for Boomers Ferry.

NO Aid FOR
NAVIGATION
Government Officials Return Unfaver.
able Report on Dredging Of
Kootenai River
SAY CHANNEL AMPLE FOR NEEDS
Decision Can Be Appealed to WASH
inston Engineers

The hopes of local people inter
ested in the securing of a govern
ment appropriation for the improv-
ing for navigation purposes the
channel of the Kootenai river be-
tween this point and the boundary
line went glimmering Wednesday
when notifications were received
from the United States engineer S
Office at Seattle to the effect that a
report had been made to the gov
eminent which was unfavorable to
the project.
The preliminary work on the
project of clearing and charging
the channel of the Kootenai river
was done this summer by corps
of government engineers and sur
veyors and was authorized by Act
of Congress of July Is, 1912.
The government officials give
the following as their reasons for
not favoring the project:
1.-The section of river under
consideration has ample depths
and widths of channel to accom-
modate the limited present and
future commerce.
1.-The expenditures required to
clear the river and maintain it clear
from snags or to increase the nav
igable widths or depths would not
be justified by the small benefits to
navigation that would result from
those expenditures.
The above decision is not final l.,
however, and parties interested
may appeal the report to the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors, permanent body sitting at
Washington. D. c., to which all
examination and survey reports Of
this character are referred.

TRANSFER BURLINGTON TRAINS
May Be Routed over the Great North
ern Soon

Reports continue rife that the
Burlington trains Al and AZ, now
running over the Northern Pacific
west from Billings, will be routed
over the Great Northern in the
near future, and will be run on
practically the time of Nos. 40 and
"A which were recently taken off
the latter road. Along with this
rumor is the report that if such
change is made the old trains,
Nos. 5 and 8, will be restored on
the Northern Pacific.
1t has been the talk for some
time that the close utilization be-
tween the Burlington and Northern
Pacific was being. severed and that
the Hill interests, which control
the Burlington, are not as strong
as they were in the Northern Pa
cific, which would indicate that the
rumor about the change in train
service would come to pass.

statement:
Il expect to try to help the par

This should include some legisla-
ton looking to the redemption OF
the commonwealth from the pres
ent burden of taxation, the revival
of the credit of the state which has
been 50 imperilled by the failure OF
Carey Act projects and the enact
ment of statutes which will make
development more easy both in the
north and south. / believe the
states money could be used for the
upbuilding of the state and not for
the benefit of individuals and il
the constitution will not permit
this, then let us get another consti-
tuition; we ought to have a new
one, anyway.

new BUILDING
ON MAIN STREET
Odd Fellows Let Contract for Two
Story Fireproof Business Block
and Lodge Hall
WILL BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
New Structure Will Cost in Neishbor-
hood of Sc, 500

Utopia Lodge No. 80, Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows, of this
city, has definitely decided to con-
struct a new freproof business
block and lodge home and work
on the structure will be started
soon after the first of the year
The building will be two story
affair, built of Dennisons Inter
locking Tile and will be put up
under the supervision of Contrac-
tor c. A Lansdowne, of Spokane.
The building will have a full base
ment, will be furnace heated and
will be modern in every respect.
Contractor Lansdowne expects to
have the new building ready for
occupation inside of 90 days. The
dimensions of the building will be
37tx120 feet and it will be built on
the site of the old frame building
owned by the Odd Fellows which
was destroyed by fire in 1912.
The decision to build was unan-
imous among the members of the
Odd Fellow lodge. Building has
been agitated at several times since
the burning of the old hall but un-
til now the estimated cost of new
building caused the conservative
Odd Fellows to hesitate about OBJ
ligating themselves. The pro-
posed tile building will be erected
at cost of about So, 500. A loan
to the Odd Fellow lodge has been
negotiated through the Pacific
Building and Loan association OF
Tacoma, Wash.
According to the plans and spec
ifications now being drawn for the
new building the lower story will
be used for store room. The up
per story will contain lodge room
with dimensions of 35x60 feet, sew
eral anterooms, a waiting room,
kitchen and two Office rooms in the
front of the building.
J. w. Reid, J. H. Hoagland and
George R. Causton compose the
building committee which will rep
resent the Odd Fellows lodge in all
matters pertaining to the erection
and furnishing of the new build
ing. In the matter of securing
labor Contractor Lansdowne has
announced that he will employ
local labor as far as possible in the
construction of the new building.
