Hunters Should Carry Almanacs

Duck hunters October l and there
after during the open season will
have have to carry an almanac as
well as license with them to keep
within the terms of the law, judg-
ing from inquiries received at the
fish and game department at Boise,
says the Evening Capital News.
These want to have defined sun
rise and sun set. The law requires
hunting to be done between these two
periods. The question then arising is,
when does the sun rise and when does
it set? Naturally in different locali-
ties there is a difference of some
minutes. The sun rises later and
sets earlier in the mountain sections,
or it rises earlier and sets later in
sections where the mountains do not
affect the periods. Then on cloudy
days the hunter Ill have some diff
Guilty in determining when the hour
of sunrise occurs or when the sun
sets. The game department is hay
ing some difficulty in determining
the question. 1t will probably in
struct hunters to get a standard al
mananc and go by it to guide them
in keeping within the provisions of
the law.

EYE STRUCK BY sCREwDRIvER
Harry Kinnear Blinded in Left Eye
Saturday Morning Peculiarly

Harry Kinnear was the victim of a
peculiar accident last Saturday morn
ing, which resulted in the loss of his
left eye.
The accident occurred in the office
of j. P. Dunn, near the S. l. Ry.
station. Mr.. Dunn had thoughtlessly
placed piece of heavy paper in a
protectograph he recently purchased
and after making the imprint the
machine did not release itself. He
was trying to fix it as Harry Kim
near happened by and Mr.. Dunn
called the latter in to help him.
Dunn tried to pry the machine apart
with a screw driver and as he did
so Kinnear stood over it in an eff
fort to locate the trouble. Just at
this moment the point of the screw
driver lost the leverage and slipped
from Mr.. Dunn's hand, flying up
ward and striking Kinnear in the eye.
Drs. Fry and Faucet were called
and every effort was made to save
the eye. Saturday evening Mr.. Kin
near, accompanied by his father, W.
l.. Kinnear, went to Spokane to
consult an eye specialist. According
to last reports Mr.. Kinnear will lose
the sight of his eye but it may be
possible to save the eye-ball.

]. Lang and S. E. Henry Tell of
Early-Day Real Estate Prices

]. Lang, owner of one of the-larg-
est and best improved ranches of the
Leonia district, was in town Tues
day on business trip. Mr.. Lang
came to this district some 81 years
ago and started one of the first
restaurants in this district on Main
street of old Eatonville. Mr.. Lang
told that when he was in business
in Bonners Ferry he was offered one
of the Main street lots of what is
now the main business portion of the
city and he refused to accept the
gift because he did not believe that
the property would ever be of value
and he figured that he would proba-
bly, have to camp on the hillside ev-
cry spring during the high water
period. Along this line S. f. Hen
ny told that he could have bought
block of the present Main street
frontage at one time for $500. Mr..
Lang was the first client Attorney

Big Tobacco Firms

Last month the John Bollman Co.,
of San Francisco, contracted with the
Boomers Ferry Herald for a large
amount of advertising in this district

San Francisco people, is only placed
in newspapers which have acquired

clean, cool means of travel.
The Conklins spent several days
seeing the sights at the fair and
both say that the Canadian exhib-

Massachusetts had the best state
exhibits. They write that the prices
are no higher in San Francisco than
in Spokane. They were able to get

he is sure it will never be the same
to him as the Bonners Ferry dis

Another Wrestler Want. Match

Clair Des Voignes returned last
evening from trip to Standpoint.
While there the Standpoint fans ar
ranged for a match which will pro-
badly be held at Standpoint and at
some date after the Miller-Des
Voignes match on October 16, be-
tween Des Voignes and Harry Devoe:
Devoe is said to come from Wis
cousin. He is clever wrestler
and weights in at 165 pounds-2O
pounds heavier than Des Voignes.
He is said to have a reputation hard
to beat and with his weight he would
undoubtedly have a great advan-
tage over Des Voignes. The Bon
ners Ferry man is willing to take
a chance with Harry Devoe, how
ever, and the match will, no doubt,
be pulled off later this month.

WANT SEWERS
THIS WINTER
Town Trustees May See Way Clear To
Let Contract By December lst
Engineers Suggestion
COULD GET LOWER BIDS THEN
Cost Of Construction Will Not Be Heavy
For Boomers Ferry

A special meeting of the town
board of trustees was held Tuesday
night when the sewerage problem
for the city was discussed at length
with Engineer Sawyer who has the
contract for the preliminary work.
The trustees seem to be satisfied
with the plans for system mapped
out by the engineers but in order
to have perfect understanding of
what is needed they made a trip
with Engineer Sawyer Wednesday
morning over the various routes of
the sewer system and looked into
the matter of the location of pump
ing station and septic tank.
At the Tuesday night meeting it
seemed to be the concensus of opin-
ion that immediate steps should be
taken to at least start the work on
the sewers this winter. Engineer
Sawyer believed that the contract for
the sewer work should be let this
winter whether any work was done
or not, on the theory that contract
ors will bid lower for work in the
fall than they will in the spring Of
the year.
1t is possible that the council will
handle the financial end of the pro-
posed sewerage system through i'm
provement districts rather than by
general bond issue. The tax payers
will be given ample opportunity to
file objections against the construct
ing of sewer system. The first
sewers laid will take in only such
portions of town where sewers are
most needed and additional sewer
improvement districts may be Gre
ated upon the petition of the major
ity of the property owners of the
proposed districts. 1t is to be the
policy of the council to only Law
sewers where wanted by property
owners.
Engineer Sawyer states that the
cost of the sewerage system in this
city will be comparatively light and
that there are but few points where
the sewer pipe bitches will have to
be dug to any considerable depth.
The average depth will be about
nine feet. Mr.. Sawyer plans for
combination pumping station and sep
tic tank which would cost no moro
in construction than il separated and
which will be more economical as
far as upkeep is concerned. The esti-
mate for the septic tank and pump
ing station was about $1,000. Messrs.
James and Callahan appeared before
the council to secure information as
to the amount of grading to be
done on Main street of Eatonville.
They insisted that the grading was
InJuring their property. In the dis
cussion that followed it developed
that the town board had not yet es-
tablished any grade on the street in
question. The members of the coun-
Gil were divided upon the advisa-
bility of doing the grading. The
meeting adjourned without the coun-
Gil members coming to an agree
ment in the matter.

Return Match at Kent's Hall

match will be governed by Police
Gazette rules. r. c. Van Buren, will

which was held here September 18th
and which was won by Des Voignes
after over two hours of wrestling.
Miller claims that he was not in con-
dition at that time and insists that
he can throw Des Voignes. To this
end Miller is said to be in constant
training and it is expected that he
will show up even better at the
coming match.
Des Voignes is not going to take
any chances Of allowing the Sand

IN training and plans to work out
with Spokane wrestlers for a week
before the match.
The match will start on schedule
time and it is assured that there
will be no long waits.
