Boomers Ferry experienced a sec
ond fire this week when bad
blaze broke out in the rear of the
store room occupied by Mike Mil
ler's' Sunset Barber Shop in the
Mrs. Mary A. Bunting building on
Main street.
The fire was discovered shortly
after II clock by Marshal Wor-
ley and Charles Woods. The
whole rear of the building was a
roaring mass of flames by the time
the fire department could he called
out, but the FIRE boys did excellent
work and in a few minutes had
three streams of water playing on
the blaze.
The fixtures of the Sunset Bar
Der Shop were practically ruined by
fire and water. Full insurance
was carried. The damage to the
building will not exceed a few hun
dred dollars, which is covered by
insurance. The stock of shoes
stored in the adjoining building
and belonging to 7. B. English of
Spokane, was saved. English had

A complaint was filed in the
probate court last Friday morning
by County Prosecuting Attorney
Costello in which Denver P. Day
ton was charged with extortion.
The action was taken on account
of the squashing upon technical
grounds of the indictment returned
against Dayton recently by the
grand jury.
The complaint recites that on
September 8, 1918, Dayton secured
a deed from Jane Hawthorne to
real estate of the value of 81, 200
upon representation that unless the
deed was executed complaint would
be made against her son, Wilbur
Hawthorne, charging him with
embarrassment.

What was pronounced by the

prettiest social affairs of this seas
on was the bridge party given
Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Edw.
Moore in honor of her daughter
Mrs. w. A. Alexander, of Spokane,
who has been visiting her mother
here several weeks. The afternoon
was very pleasantly spent at the
card tables, Mrs. Art Moore re-
ceiving first prize and Mrs. +. H.
Ulrick second prize for the highest
scores. The prizes on this occa-
sion were so unique and pretty that
they deserve mention, consisting
of very handsome baskets made oil
woven crepe paper. Tasty little
baskets of the same material and
filled with bon bons and nuts were
presented to each guest as favors,
Light refreshments were served
and the guests departed unanimous
in the conviction that Mrs. Moore
was a capital hostess in providing

County Commissioners File

County Commissioners Nagel,
McCombs and McColl filed their
nomination papers this week. They
are candidates for reelection on
the republican ticket. The COM
missioners feel that the partisan
attacks made upon them make it
imperative upon them to place their
case before the republican voters of
the county. If we do not run
again the source of the attacks
made against the board during the
past year will take it as a vindica-
ton of its position. We believe
that the voters of the county should
do the vindicating and express
their opinion of whether we have
been all that our enemies have said
we were, said one of the mem
bers of the board this week. We
are willing to 30 before the voters
of the county upon our record.
The auditor and treasurer s state
ment for the quarter shows that
the county's debt has been de-
creased $50, 333 during the past
year and we have during the past
year made the last payment upon
the courthouse building and retired
81. 800 Of the old Kootenai county
lond indebtedness. We feel that
we have built more and better
roads than any board the county
has ever had. J."

JUST ONE MORE REMINDER

We feel that we have every
reason to be most gratihed
over the response given by
the readers of the Herald to
our recent request for renew
ais of subscriptions. Today
one of our subscribers, who
was already paid up until
February of next year, gave
us another years subscrlp-
ton. We now have about IS
subscribers who are paid over
two years in advance and IS
per cent of our subscriptions
are paid a year in advance.
We feel this is a record to be
proud of.
Hardly a week goes by but
what the Herald enters new
homes. The management of
the paper is being continually
conplimented upon the i'm
provements in the Herald and
you may be sure the editor
appreciates such compliments.
We read the paper from COW
er to cover writes Elijah ].
Hawkins from Marysville,
Cali. Your bright newsy
journal is we'll worth the price
as it brings at this time a
breath of suggested GOODNESS
from your northland woods
and mountains to us in this
heated region where humidity
is supreme and perspiration is
a thousand below par" writes
Summers Gundlach, prosecut-
ing attorney of Jackson coun-
ty, Kansas City, Mo. On ev-
cry hand we hear, we can't
do without the Herald" 0,
yes, there is another side TO
the story. Once in a while
we hear that the Herald is
only worth $1.00 a year but
these plants are few and far
between and usually come
from some person whom the
editor has tried to be espec-
tally nice to.
But before we forget we
must urge the rs per cent
who have not renewed their
subscriptions to try to remem-
Der to do so soon. We are
sure it is only a matter of
neglect. Please be prompt.
