The others are all very pretty and
would grace any city. Nothing could
have pleased me more than to see
this tract Of land, then deemed
worthless, put to such beautiful and
useful purposes.
Time has carried many Of the
Bonners Ferry pioneers to their
graves; fate has led others to new
fields: still l was pleased to discover
a great many of the earlier settlers
There is sentiment about these old
friendships which seldom fades. To-
day met one Of those venerable
trail blazers who passed through this
spot ten years before / was born.
He told me he had carried Postmas-

official was a red checked boy roam

life. 1t was here she attended school
and afterwards taught school.
have had the pleasure Of meeting the
children of some of her scholars.
There are many ties to bind US to the
place, so that 1t all seems as a sort of
homecoming. The esteemed lady
who taught her the intricacles of
numbers and the wonders of nature,
the wife Of an influential and wealthy
citizen here, graces one Of the most
attractive homes of the entire state.
1t will please their friends q Rath-
drum to know that Mr.. and Mrs.
Spoerry are amongst the most popular
of the people Of Boomers Ferry The
same kind of efficiency which Mr..
Spoerry displayed in the management
of the Rathdrum schools has endeared
him to the patrons Of these schools.

Writes From Boomers Ferry.

Bartlett Sinclair, who has recently
relocated in Boomers Ferry, writes To
the Tribune as follows:
To lose county seat creates a
sensation with which the people OF
Rathdrum are familiar. TO expert
ence sensations incident to winning
county seat is quite different. At
the present time Boomers Ferry is
enjoying all the pleasing anticipa-
tions naturally growing out OF such a
victory. Sixteen or more years ago
Boomers Ferry made the first fight
for division Of old Kootenai county
and for the county seat of the new
county. The fight has gone on ever
since with varying degrees of fervor.
took small part in the earlier
contests and it is now only reasonable
l should share with the people of
Boundary county the 10y Of final
triumph.
1t will not be till the second Tues
day in July that Boundary county
will take its place at the head of all
the counties Of tide state. This is no
mean distinction to start out with.
Bonners Ferry will likewise be found
clearly at the head of the county
seats. (These illusions are merely
geographically That alone would
give less progressive village
coveted reputation.
But despite all this temptation TO
brag and tllster the people OF the
embryo county seat are sedate and
there ls an utter absence OF swagger
or immoderate anticipation. So far
as l can discern the feeling of the
citizens, they want the county started
Off modestly. The new county is
certainly rich one and Bonners
Ferry is proud and ambitious, as it
has good right to be. Few villages
lave had more obstacles to conuuer
before 1t reached its present suprem-
acy Without the aid of the prestage
Incidental TO being county seat IL
has attained a very fine standing as
farming and commercial and mill
center. 1t will never be said the
county seat made the town. 1t has
already been made. Nevertheless |
now being enrolled among the county
seats of the state it forthwith be
comes a political center and its com
mercial Importance will receive a
most desirable impetus.
When nearly quarter of century
ago first came to Boomers Ferry J
there wasn't painted house ia town.
L refrain to say more at this tim than
that no town of its size 10 the state
has more pretty and comfortable
homes. In the dawn OF its history |
had my home on hundred and sixty
acre tract of wooded land touching
the town, Although at liberty to do
so never acquired title to that
homestead, quite agreeing with my
neighbors that it was not worth the
niIng fee. On part OF that very
tract there are now 20 or 80 beautiful
bungalows, one OF which l am in
formed was built at cost of $4,000.

The two new courts at Bannock burns
Cabin John bridge site are now in ex-
celient condition and are being con-
stantly used by it's members in prepa-
ra ton for the closed tournament which
the club expects to stage next month.
Walter S. Lewis is in charge of tennis
affairs at the club.
In sanctioning the Chevy Chase tour
nament The National Lawn Tennis As
ISOLATION has written the club regard
ing the enforcement of the foot-fault.
The national body has suggested that
the tennis committee appoint sub
committee to give this matter special
attention and this plan will likely be
followed. 4 foot fault is just as much
an error as driving the ball in the net
or out of the court, as it is to & much
greater extent an unfair advantage and
one that cannot be condoned. The
only way to correct this abuse is to
have foot-faults called, and those in
charge at Chevy Chase have made up
their minds that every one made in the
