Baccalaureate Services Sunday

With all seats occupied and a
few of those present standing, an
interested audience gathered at the
Union church Sunday evening to
witness the baccalaureate services
for the 1915 graduating class of the
Boomers Ferry high school. The
service was opened with prayer by
the Rev. H. L. Preston, followed
by very pleasing selection by the
High School Glee Club.
Rev. J. V. Stanley, who had
been chosen to deliver the bacca-
laureate sermon, selected as his
text II Chron. 31:21-"And in ev-
cry work that he began in the serv-
ice of the house of God, and in the
law, and in the commandments, to
seek his God, he did it with all his
heart, and prospered." Using this
text as the groundwork, Rev. Stan
ley built up a strong discourse full
of excellent advice to the class.
He showed how important it is for
the young person just stepping out
of school into the more serious
affairs of life, to have proper con-
ception of what life is for; empha-
sized the belief that everyone had
some particular work to do; and
urged upon the class the necessity
of each one doing this allotted
work cheerfully, bravely and en-
Enthusiastically. The speaker also
urged the need of doing ones
work with a whole hearted enthus-
iasm, and said that one who Sc
works and lives in line with the
plan the Creator has laid down fol
him, will eventually win the great
est prosperity possible-the salts
faction of a life successfully LIVED
and the development of true char
acter.
The services closed with anothe
selection by the High School Gle,
Club and the benediction by Rev
D. w. Parks.

HIGHER LEVY
This YEAR
Decrease Of Revenue Will Be Respon-
sible for Raise of Town Tax
Levy
ESTIMATED EXPENSES, S5,575.OO
Assessed Valuation Will Be About
100000

The tax levy for Boomers Ferry
for the present fiscal year will prob
ably have to be made seven or eight
mills. Last year the levy was two
mills.
The need for an increase in the
town levy is due to several causes.
One is the fact that this year a
great share of revenue of former
years in the way of saloon license
money will not be forthcoming as
the saloons 60 out of business in
Idaho the first of next year. Then
two large new additions have been
taken into the city and improve
ments in these additions for the
first year or two will probably
amount to more than will be re-
ceived from the additional taxes.
Further, the new administration is
saddled with deficit of some $575
through old bills which the former
administration found itself unable
to pay on account of failing to Sc
cure certain revenue upon which it
had figured when making its esti-
mate of appropriations.
Tuesday night the town board of
trustees threshed out the matter of
town levy very thoroughly and
decided to appropriate $500 for the
fire department.; 81 800 for salaries;
$500 for printing; $3.50 for street
lighting; 800 for property and
equipment; 81, 500 for streets and
alleys; $575 for accounts payable;
total of IS, SIS which is 1896 less
than was appropriated last year al
though the revenue last year was
estimated at $5,o71 on a two mill
levy.
A careful estimate of possible
revenues for the town for the COM
ing year shows that the board of
trustees must raise about 81, $50 by
levy. 1t is figured that the as
sessed valuation o. the town, with
the new additions, will amount to
about $500, 900.
Chairman Gray has not yet made
his committee appointments but ex-
poets to do so before the next reg
ular meeting. Tuesday night the
board allowed some 500 worth of
bills and approved the bonds of
Treasurer Laschinger and Marshal
Sawyer.

ach after week. illness, was held
at the Union church Sunday after
noon, and were conducted by Rev.

The services were attended by a
large gathering of the friends of
the deceased and her relatives. The
Union church choir and ladies quar-
tet rendered appropriate selections
and Rev. Preston spoke words OF
comfort and cheer to the mourners.
That the deceased was held in high
repute in this community was evil
denced by the many beautiful floral
tributes banked on and about the
coffin.
Hannah Amanda Evans was
born near Wheeling, w. Va, in
the year 1860. She came to Bon
ners Ferry in 1891 with her family
and was married to George Evans
in 1897. She was a member in

BAD BLAZE EARLY THIS MORNING
Cuts Blacksmith's Shop and Bonner
Hardware Company's Warehouse

Fire, which was discovered about
three o'clock this morning by
Marshal Sawyer, destroyed the
Bonner Hardware Company's
warehouse and contents, and the
building occupied by Meeker &
Schweigert, blacksmiths, together
with their equipment. The esti-
mated loss is about S., 500. The
buildings were owned by w. L.
Kinnear, who carried 500 insur-
ance. Meeker & Schweigert car
ried 5000 insurance.
The fire evidently started in
shed next to the warehouse. The
contents consisted of a quantity of
dynamite, gasoline, hay, a carload
each of plaster, lime and cement,
implements and tools valued at
about 50, 900.
Meeker & Schweigert figure their
loss at about 81 800 or 81, 900 al
though this amount may be re-
duced by salvage.
Mr.. Xinnear stated this morning
that ne planned to rebuild the
warehouse as soon as possible. He
will also rebuild the building oc-
cupied by Meeker & Schweigert.

GRADE EXERCISES A GREAT SUCCESS
Every Number Excellent Program Shows Careful Preparation Pea
Large and Appecave Audience Seniors Win Laus the
Presentation of Their Annual Class Play

The best grade exercises I ever
saw anywhere" is the common ex-
preston heard concerning the pro-
gram given last evening at the
Gem theatre by the pupils of the
Boomers Ferry public schools. The
interest manifested in the exercises
was shown by a crowded house,
from $50 to 200 being turned away
unable to gain even standing room.
The program was so uniformly
good throughout that it is difficult
to mention any particular number
above the others. However, the
frst number, Tom Thumbs
Wedding" by the primary depart
ment, seemed to arouse the most
interest due undoubtedly to the
fact that the wee ones were the
actors. In this unusually pleasing
little affair Helen Riley was charm
ing as the bride and wore beauti-
full creation of white satin
with a handsome flowing veil,
and carried a large and beaut-
iful boquet of white roses.
Charles Harris took off the part of
the happy groom, and Chester
Burns as the minister could not
have been better. Genevieve Bush
was attractive as maid of honor and
sang very prettily, Promise Me"
and as an encore number, Every
body's Good to Me-" Florine
Brody played the wedding march
very prettily. There were brides
maids, flower girls, ring bearer
best man, ushers, guests and two
negro pages, all properly attired in
beautiful gowns and full dress
suits and all taking their parts ex-
ceptionally we'll, but lack of time
prohibits more detailed mention OF
this charming affair. However
those taking part in addition to the
ones mentioned above were:
Best man-Lawrence Frisch.
Ring bearer Dorothy Holliuger
Flower girls - Florence Nc
Greevy, Katherine Shultis, Lucille
Burns, Leola Halsey.
Bridesmaids-Beryl Bishop, Dora
Labrose. Louise Walden, Blanche
Castle.
Parents of bride-Helen Rowe
Esher Fry.
Parents of groom Violet Page
Horace Barber.
Ushers-Allan Moore, Warner
Moore, Harry Walden, Bill Gale.
