Out of the $50 names of the jury
list for the year, the names of 80
jurymen had been taken from the
box to furnish the regular Jury
panel for the two terms of court al
ready held this year. This left 70
names from which to draw the
grand jury. The precincts of
Standpoint had seven names left in
the box, but of the seven not one
selected.
There are now but so names left
in the jury list for the year to draw

of court to be held in 1914.

W, "; II. Richardson, Esq, Clerk of the

dated May 23rd in which YOU again
mention the matter of the water supply.

little more fully as to what the village
council want in this matter. If they
desire at this time to attempt to force
me to bring water from Snow creek or
Myrtle creek or some such other source
as that, will be obliged to decline on
account of the impracticability of so
dong for any sum within reason; il
would require between six and eight
miles of pipe to bring it from either
place and the cost of the same including
the installation would run somewhere
around $4,000, which as you, being a
business man, can readily recognize as
being sum that is prohibitive. The
rentals from the water are compare
lively small and pay only a reasonable
rate OF interest on the amount now
invested. At the same time, / am
willing and anxious to do ANYTHING |

reason. AS | explained to you in a

1t could furnish better service than / am
furnishing and desire at this time to
take up the matter of exercising
their option to purchase, although the
time provided in the franchise has not

Idaho Hotel Changes Hands

Today a deal was consummated
whereby Mrs. H. G.. Peavy sold
her interests in the Idaho Hotel to
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Langeloh, of
Spokane, Wash. The new pro-
prietors lease the building from the
owner, Frank Clapp, of Spokane.
Mrs. Peavy expects to leave soon
for Tekoa, Wash, where she will
live on her ranch. Rumor has it
that Don Cupid will soon play an
important part in the affairs of
Mrs. Peavv, who for the past year
has been most successful as the
proprietress of the Idaho Hotel.
The new proprietors of the Idaho
are experienced hotel and restau-
rant managers, and expect to so
please their patrons that their place
of business will continue to grow
in favor with the public.

WERE GUESTS OF MRS. KNOWLES
Presbyterian Ladies Aid Society Mem
bers Have Pleasant Outing

Contributed The Ladies of
the Presbyterian Aid society spent
Wednesday at the home of Mrs.
Knowles 6 miles north of town.
Livery rigs were hired and several
took their own rigs, leaving town
at $50 a. m. When nearing our
destination the driver alighted to
open a gate. Mrs. Parks took the
lines to drive but forgot to release
the brake and one of the horses
refused to proceed. Mrs. Smith
sighting danger, flew from the rig
like bird, alighting on a nearby
fence. After several heavy weights
alighted the horses decided to go
and we all got in again and pro-
ceeded on our way arriving at Mrs.
Knowles at 1920. The time was
spent in sewing until the noon
hour when Mrs. Knowles served
dinner fit for king, proving our
hostess not only a first class dress
maker but a fine cook as we'll.
After dinner the ladies spent some
tAllAO lOOhluS ONCl lnC Sdl QCuS anu
viewing the fine scenery. At 400
O'Clock the business meeting was
held after which we again Toasted
on cake and lemonade. At S
O'Clock E. /. Little arrived with
his auto and all babe goodbye to
Mrs. Knowles and started for
home. Mrs. Kinnear started ahead
of the livery team with her nag.
The livery team wouldn't stand
for that and again refused to pro-
coed. Mrs. Smith alighted from
the buggy so quickly we decided
she was out practicing for the
Fourth of July, forgetting we were
going to Standpoint for the Fourth.
We at last succeeded in passing
Mrs. Kinnear and all went well,
arriving home safely. All agreed
we had spent a delightful day,
thanks to Mrs. Knowles hospit@i-
ty.

TAX LEVY IS
CUT IN TWO
City Fathers Make q Reduction From
Four to Two Mills For the Cur
rent Fiscal Year
ECONOMY IS THE wATCHwORD
Decide on a Period of Retrenchment
in City Expenses

The city council in session
Tuesday evening decided to inau-
gurate a period of economy for the
coming fiscal year, and have cut
the tax levy exactly in two,
deciding upon mills as against q
mills last year. This reduction is
made possible by the adoption of a
program of limited retrenchment
in expenditures but more so on
account of an increased valuation
placed upon the taxable property
by the assessor.
Last year the total assessable
valuation of property within the
city was $43O,O 900 in round mum
bers. Judging from the increased
valuation placed on property that
has already been assessed, this
amount will easily reach $500, 900
to $3.50, 900 for the coming year.
In many instances an increase
of fully one third has been made.
This accounts largely for the
reduced levy.
The total reserve available to the
city last year was 81 491 So. all of
which was spent. This amount
was received from the following
sources.

The motor for fire bell" is an
attachment whereby an electric
motor will ring the fire bell and
can be turned on from the tele-
phone Office. 1t is planned to in
stall one of these motors.
With the levy of mills, for
every thousand dollars worth of
property the taxpayer will have to
pay $500 in taxes. When it is
considered that Boomers Ferry
HASN'T cent of bonded indebted
ness against it and when the bust
ness of village of 1000 people
can be transacted on mill levy,
it shows commendable record of
economy and business efficiency on
the part of the city fathers.

$33,5OO FOR
BETTER ROADS
County Is Spending Coodly Sum on
New Roads and Repairing in
This Vicinity.
CONNECT WITH BOUNDARY LINE
Build Through Road From Boomers
Ferry to Canada.

In the nelghDOrhOOd OF Soo,-
10000 is being spent or will be
spent for road and bridge building
in Northern Bonner county in the
vicinity of Boomers Ferry and be-
tween Boomers Ferry and Porthill
and Boomers Ferry and Standpoint
this summer, according to a state
ment made Tuesday by County
Commissioner McColl, of Moravia,
who with County Surveyor Chat
fms, has been going over the road
needs of this vicinity the past
week.
Road building crews are now
working on a new road from
Meadow Greek to Addy which will
cost some S., 900 for distance of
IL miles. The sum of $1,000 is
being spent Strengthening the Deep
Creek Boomers Ferry road, and
about 81 900 is being spent lower
ing the grade and Strengthening
the Shavelear hill road.
$1,000 or more will be spent on
the IA mile road from Boomers
Ferry to Copeland. Crews are now
at work on this road and it will be
rushed to completion as soon as
possible. The road planned from
Meadow Creek to Copeland will al
so cost at least 5000 and 50, 900
will be spent building a road from
Bonners Ferry to. Meadow Creek.
Two steel bridges are to be built
On the Meadow Greek road and the
contracts have been let at 81 200.
Another steel bridge across Pack
river will be built at a cost of
$4,000. When these roads and
bridges are built Boomers Ferry
will have a direct road to the
boundary line.
-Four miles of the road between
Moravia and Naples is being
Strengthened and widened and
grades are being cut down. This
work will cost about 81 900. The
commissioners plan to construct an
under grade crossing near Moravia
underneath the Great Northern
tracks and so do away with a dan
gerous crossing. This work will
cost about $500. About $500
worth of road work will be done on
the county road between Boomers
Ferry and Moravia near the Martin
Peterson place. About 81 900 will
be spent on the road from Boomers
Ferry into the Cow Creek district.
The need of better roads in this
district has been badly felt for
long time, and the people of this
community should appreciate the
efforts of Commissioner McColl
and his associates to supply these
needs.
