RAISES A GOOD CROP OF CORN
Mslesn Bruce Has Two and q Half
Acres Fine Corn For Ensilass

Malcolm Bruce has two and q
half acres of fine field corn which
he plans to cut into ensilage next
week, which he believes will run
about 90 tons to the acre. The
crop of corn this year will greatly
exceed the yield of last year in
spite of the continued dry weather
OF the last few weeks. Mr.. Bruce
built his concrete silo last year and
would not be without one now.
He claims that a $50 ton silo can
be built for $75, which is much
cheaper than to build sheds. He
figures that at the rate of 40 pounds
day of ensilage for COW the $50
ton silo should feed 80 cows dur
ing the times of the year when pas
ture is not available. Mr.. Bruce
IS favoring a movement to plant
oats for ensilage purposes on the
bottom lands along the Kootenai
river. He claims that these over
flowed lands will raise 10 tons of
oat ensilage to the acre and that
this feed is the finest in the world
for COWS.

ASSASSIN FAILS in ATTEMPT


What looks like an attempted
murder with mysterious attendant
circumstances was essayed ON Deer
creek last Saturday. Alonzo Os-
born, the young man son of VIM.
Osborn of Copeland, was out ber-
rying along the creek when he
heard the report of a rifle and felt
something brush his clothing across
his abdomen. At the time he
thought nothing of this, but stood
with his appraised arm leaning
against a tree and looking for the
man who was doing the shooting.
A second shot was heard and he
felt the bullet burn across his chest
just barely touching the flesh but
enough to raise a blister three to
four inches long. AS young Os-
born ducked behind a log he saw a
man running down the creek
through the brush, but could not
tell who it was. An examination
showed that the first shot had
pierced his clothing across his alb
domen.
Osborn says he has no enemies
as far as he knows and is at a loss
to account for the shooting. 1t is
suggested that perhaps the would
be murderer mistook Osborn for
someone else. No clue to his iden-
tity has been found.

WOULD ANNEX
FOUR ADDITIONS
Petitions Have Been Generally Signed
TO Be Acted Upon at the Next
Meeting Of Town Board
WILL NEARLY DOUBLE TERRITORY
Takes In Well Built Resident Distr;c,
of Community

Petitions which have been gen
orally circulated during the past
two weeks and which have been
signed by practically all the prop
erty owners of the districts in
volved, will be presented to the
board of trustees of Boomers Ferry
at its next meeting, September 1st,
asking for the annexing of the
Park and Riverview additions and
the McNear Acre Tracts and Nc
Near's Sunnyside addition to Bon
ners Ferry. The first two addi-
tons named above lay south of
town and the latter two lay north
of town and comprise almost
enough territory to double the
size of the town limits.
The plan to annex the several
additions has been agitated for
some years but it was not until re-
Gently that all the property owners
could be persuaded to view the
proposition in a favorable light.
The several additions comprise we'll
built up territory and some of the
finest residences of the community
1t is generally understood that the
town trustees will grant the wishes
of the petitioners. The petition
for the annexation of the Park and
Riverview tracts was circulated by
DIR Reich, and the petition for the
annexation of the northside terri
tory was circulated by w. H.
and others.
There is also another large tract
on the northside which is densely
and which ought to be
taken within the corporate limits
of the town. This is known as
the Wright addition but there is
some opposition to annexation and
the matter will probably not be
pushed for some time to come.

The one thing that has retarded the development of this section of the country more than most things is the present forest service system of putting the little stockman and homesteader out of business. There is practically no hope un- der the present system for the little man or the homesteader. If you haven't money enough to buy out some other fellow-which gives rank stranger better right than pioneer-you are practically out of the game and are allowed a permit for a few head-just enough to say you have a permit.
 We have been digging up some very interesting statistics along this line which will be of vast interest to the homesteaders and home builder who thinks he should be given an opportunity to live here.
