SOME MORE NEWS FROM BOISE
Representative ysrk Writes Interest.
isyly Of Dolass Of legislature

Boise, Ida, Jan, az, 1913,
Editor Herald:
You people certainly made lot
of noise up there in Bonnera Ferry
over your Boundary county sue
cess. Why, we heard the echoes
of 1t down here in Boise! I haven't
heard in just what way Standpoint
people celebrated the event. May
be they havn't shown their hilarity
as yet.
Representative CARAT has in his
possession the fountain pen with
which Gov. Alexander signed the
bill creating the new county of
Boundary. That pen will be a
valuable relic 100 years from now.
Already there has been intro
duced nearly us bills in the House,
and some so in the Senate. So it
looks as if there would be plenty
to keep us interested for some
weeks yet, especially as there are
about 10 new bills a day coming
along. But quite number of bills
are being disposed of through with
drawals and indefinite postpone
ment. These two methods help a
great deal, for in many cases the
bills could not be passed anyway,
and in other cases they should not
be passed. 1 wouldn't be surprised
if the present legislature will be
appreciated just as much for the
non-passage of bills as for those
they pass.
1t is interesting to note the evil
dent independence of voting in the
House. There doesn't seem to be
any bell wether" for the rest to
follow. Each votes quite indepen-
IDENTIFY of all the others. OF course
this is as it should be, for then
each bill will be passed or defeated
upon its merits
It is quite doubtful if any more
new counties will be made at this
session. There are several talked
of-Buhl, Butte, Camas and Pay
ette-but in all probability they
will go over to some future session.
So far there has been very little
show of forensic ability on the floor
of the House. In fact, I doubt if
there are any very great orators in
either branch of the legislature,
However, future discussions may
draw out the eloquence that may
only be awaiting the proper occa-
sion.
The Fish and Game Committee
has been holding public sessions,
in an endeavor to get all the infor-
nation and suggestions possible.
When the bill is finally passed (if
it does pass) it should suit almost
everybody.

PLAN new ROAD
TO EASP0RT
Government Officials, County Com
missioners and Local Business Men
Confer to Raise Finances
WOULD COST ABOUT slS,OOO.0O
Forest Reserve Would Put Up Half Of
the Money Needed

Business men and citizens of
Boomers Ferry and vicinity have
been deeply interested this past
week in the project of securing a
first class road from Boomers Ferry
to Passport connecting with the
Canadian automobile highway at
Kingsgate.
The project was brought to the
attention of local people last Satur-
day by Forest Supervisor Fitzwat-
er, of the Pend d Oreille National
Forest Reserve, and Fred Gumaer,
assistant forester. These gentle
men gave out the information that
the government stood ready to
spend in the neighborhood of
80, 900 on the Boomers Ferry-East-
port road if the county would put
up a similar amount. A meeting
of local business men was called
Monday afternoon and was attend
ed by Mr.. Fitzwater and County
Commissioners McCo11 and Prit-
chard.
All present agreed that it was
unwise to allow the opportunity to
pass to get a government appro-
priation of the amount mentioned
above. The commissioners, how
ever, felt that to make such large
appropriation for one road would
work a temporary hardship on the
other districts of the county which
are in need of considerable road
work.
Mr.. Fitzwater informed the gath
ering that it was hard to secure
these government appropriations
and that if the present cooperative
plan of building good road is
turned down it might mean that
this county would not be able to
get in on further appropriations.
The road in question would be abb
solutely standard and permanent.
No definite agreement was
reached at the Monday meeting
and committee was appointed to
confer with Commissioner Hag-
man, of Priest River. The last
conference was held in Standpoint
Tuesday and it is understood that
a compromise agreement has been
effected whereby other road dis
tricts of the county will not suffer
and whereby the Boomers Ferry
PASSPORT road appropriation may
still be secured. Commissioner
McColl and James Fitzpatrick rep
resented Boomers Ferry at the
Standpoint conference.
The proposed road to Eastport
will serve to open up a very rich
agricultural district aud will also
furnish a highway for Canadian
autom obile traffic from Canadian
points to Spokane and coast points.

CITY DADS ARE
UNDECIDED
May Yet Repeal Ordinance, Recently
Passed, Making Boomers Ferry
City Of Second Class
PRESENT GOVERNMENT CHEAPER
A Village Is Nearer Commission Form
Of Government

The town board of trustees are
considering the passing of an ordi-
nance dividing Boomers Ferry into
four wards as is required in all
cities of the second class. Accord
ing to an ordinance now passed
Bonners Ferry will become city
of the second class at the end of
the fiscal year. Just now the trus-
tees are inclined to believe that a
continuance of the present form of
government will probably be cheap
er and work out to a better advan-
tage than the form of government
provided for cities of the second
class. The present form of gov
eminent is very close to the COM
mission form in that the affairs of
the town are controlled by board
of five members elected at large.
AS city of the second class the
affairs of the town would be con-
trolled by a board of aldermen,
two to be-elected from each of four
different wards, and the mayor,
city clerk and treasurer would all
be elected at large.
The ordinance providing for the
dividing of Boomers Ferry into
four wards may not be passed up
on its final reading, AS it now
stands the boundaries of the pro-
posed wards are as follows:
First Ward An that territory
originally plated as Bonnerport
but now part of the municipality
of Boomers Ferry, together with
the territory plated as the First
Addition to Bonnerport, and the
territory originally plated as First
Riverside Addition to Boomers
Ferry, and Second Riverside Addi-
ton to Boomers Ferry, and also
that territory originally plated as
Eaton which lies and is situated
west of Grey Avenue of Eaton.
Second Ward ALI that part of
the territory originally plated as
Eaton which is situated east of
Grey Avenue according to the orig
inal plat of Eaton now on file at
the Office of the county recorder of
Bonner county, and whatever ter
ritory lying adjacent thereto that
is added to the said municipality.
Third Ward All that territory
lying south of the Great Northern
Railroad Company's right ofway
and not included in the original
plat of Eaton. The said territory
was originally plated as Riverview
Addition to Boomers Ferry, and
Park Addition to Boomers Ferry,
together with a small tract of land
lying between Eaton and River
view addition.
Fourth Ward-All that part of
the Village of Boomers Ferry lying
on the north side of the Kootenai
river and known as McNear's acre
Tracts, McNear's Sunnyside Addi-
ton and part of the original plat of
Boomers Ferry as plated by S. B.
Wright and such territory as may
by later ordinance be added to the
said municipality if the said terri
tory lies on the north side of the
Kootenai river and is adjacent to
that part to be included in the
fourth ward of municipality of
Boomers Ferry.

Raise, Don't Buy, Cattle,
Sussex Director Advises
Special to the Evening star.

NEWTON, May 26.--Director Paul
Bennetch, of the Sussex County
Farm Bureau, is making an appeal to
the farmers of Sussex county to raise
more young stock cattle. While there
are large number OF pure bred sires
in use in grade herds in Sussex ooun-
ty, there are still large number in
which grade bulls are being used.
Mr.. Bennetch's main arguments
against buying cows are that they
cost too much and there Is no Ger.
tainty of the quality of the cows pur-
chased, too many poor ones being inn
ported
Mr.. Bennetch says sufficient cows
to replace poor and old cows in Sus-
sex county herds could be raised
right on farms at less cost than they
can be purchased. and that il these
were raised from the good cows, sired
by good. pure bred sires, the average
production of Sussex county herds
would be right around 5000 pounds OF
milk a day within a few years, and
that there would be a much larger
margin of profit in producing milk.

.|NTERNED SAILORS
ARE GOING INSANE
Anxiety Over Folks at Home
Drives Men in Hoboken
Out of Minds.

HOBOKEN. May 26.-That con-
tinual brooding over the fate of their
folks at home in the fatherland, un-
easiness and restlessness, natural to
a sailor who has been forced to lie
idle in one port for ten months, and
general anxiety as to their position,
is driving the sailors on hoard the
German steamships in Hoboken to
insanity is the fear of the Ioboken
police.
This fear is founded on the de-
velopments of the last three days,
during which time three men from
the German steamships have been
taken off insane and sent to the
county insane asylum for treatment
and observation.
SO alarming have the conditions
become that even the officers on the
German vessels are said to be In fear
of their men In all the three in
stances the men have been arrested
at the instigation Of officers.
The third arrest i'll three days was
made yesterday, when Herman Hell
decker twenty-four years old, a
steward on the steamship Barbaros-
sa, OF the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, was taken off
The steamer and brought TO police
headquarters in Hobolen on q
charge of insanity.
The first arrest was made last Sat
urday, when officers of the Barbaros-
sa caused the arrest of Reiner
koenig. thirty-three of age, a sailor
on the ship who had also gone tenn
porarily insane and was acting in a
manner which the officers considered
dangerous to his shipmates. He was
taken to Snake Hill and is being held
there undergoing medical examina-
tion by County Physician King.
The second arrest was made last
Sunday, when Max Thamernicht,
twenty-one years old, blacksmith,
of the steamship Vaterland. was
brought to police headquarters.
