new DISTRICTS
BEING FORMED
Kootenai Valley Seed Growers Asso-
citation Increasing in Strength and
Prominence-Fine Prospects
EIGHT new BRANCHES FORMED
Secretary Heideman Expects to Organ
ize Twelve More Soon

The Kootenai Valley Seed Grow
ers Association is local organiza-
ton which now promises to succeed
and prosper far beyond the expec-
tations of the charter members.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Wells, pres
ident and secretary of the associa-
ton, respectively, and c. w. H.
Heideman, secretary, were instru-
mental in effecting the organiza-
ton about two years ago. But lit
tie publicity was given the project
and the idea was to raise seeds
which were acclimated and which
could be sold to customers with a
guarantee of vitality and produc-
tiveness.
The seeds sold by the association
last spring raised fine crops this
fall and these same crops will be
used again in the spring to raise
more seed All the seed harvested
this fall has already been sold and
Mr.. Heideman has contracted for
the seeds which are to be harvested
next fall. The association sold
over 50, 900 worth of seeds this
year.
Mr.. Heideman returned this
week from a visit to nearby points
and farming districts in Washing
ton, and all told he succeeded in
organizing eight branches of the
Kootenai Valley Seed Growers
Association. These branches are
located at Spirit Lake, Athol, Bel
mont, Blanchard, Valley, Clarks-
fork, Oroville and Slogan Junction
B. c. Mr.. Heideman expects tC
leave soon for British Columbia
points where he plans to effect al
least 20 more branch districts il
the next 80 days.
All the seeds used by the asso
citation were thoroughly tested be
fore being planted, were cared fol
and harvested under the very bes
of scientific treatment. The nu
cleus crops which are now being
planted and harvested, will, it il
believed, soon provide seed for al
kinds of vegetables and grains fol
the entire northwest farming sec
ton. The efforts of the associa
ton may in few years make Bon
ners Ferry the distributing poin
for one of the largest seed growing
organizations of the United States
Many prominent farmers in thi,
district have already been interest
ed in the movement and have con
tracted to plant acreage for seet
raising purposes. Those who wer'
charter members of the association
are increasing the acreage devote'
J to seed raising each year,

DIVISION BILL
IS NOW READY
Will Be Introduced by Bonner County
Representatives as Soon as Leg
islature Convenes
GOES INTO EFFECT JULY 2, 1915
Passage Is Conceded All Over Bonner
County

The county division committee
of the Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club has prepared the new county
division bill calling for the creation
of Boundary county from the north
ern part of Bonner county, the di-
viding line of the proposed new
county running east and west on
the south line of township 90 be-
tween the states of Washington
and Montana but leaving out all of
the Priest Lake section in the
northwest part of Bonner county.
The bill will be introduced at the
opening of the state legislature in
the House by Representatives Car
raft, Conner and York. 1t is con-
ceded all over the county that the
division bill is a meritorious one
and there is no doubt but that it
will be passed.
The bill provides that the new
county shall go into effect July 3.
BY so doing the taxes for the old
county would be collected by that
date and the work of turning over
to the new county its portion of
the tax receipts would be greatly
facilitated.
The division of all property be-
longing to Bonner county and the
matter of the division of the public
debts will be handled by an audit
ing board which is to be appointed
by the governor, one member from
old Bonner county and one from
the new county. A third member
may be appointed in case the first
two can not come to satisfactory
agreements but the third member
may not be resident or taxpayer
of either of the counties concerned
The bill provides that Boomers
Ferry shall be the county seat of
the new county. The governor
will appoint all the officers of the
new county. Those who have the
interests of county division at heart
have frowned upon the mentioning
of any names for county Offices
and so far no candidates have an
nounced themselves and no doubt
no candidate will make any move
toward securing an Office in the
new county until after the division
bill is passed by the legislature.
The bill will be, introduced al
the opening of the legislature anc
the Bonner county delegation hope
and plan to have it passed among
the first. The success or the de
feat of the bill will probably b.
known by the middle of February

with the ditch construction, 200
feet of total fall of 600 feet is be-
ing used for a hydro electric plant
to supply light and power to their
mine and to operate an electric
smelter for the quartz property.
A study of the figures contained
herein will make skeptic of the
average man. He will say that if
these claims are true, this will
make one of the richest mines in
the history of the country. His
conclusion is correct. That is ex-
actly what we claim. If we are
laboring under a pipe dream, in
the name of humanity come and
wake us up. 1t would be an act
of charity to show us our error and
direct our efforts henceforth in
more profitable channels. If we
are in error we will be glad to
know it and we invite any citizen
of Bonner county to visit the mine
as a guest of the company. If we
are not in error he ought to know
what is going on in his home coun-
ty. He will be welcomed and Civ
en- every facility for investigation,
whether his motive be criticism,
curiosity, investment or public in
! terest,

LEONIA PLACER
Mine PROSPECTS
Stakeholder Of Idaho Gold and Radium
Mining Company Tells Of Re-
sources and Future
100000 WORTH OF WORK
Employees Of Company Use Wages to
Pay for Stock
BY D. c. HOFFMAN

BY ID. Z. HOFFMAN
The prospects of the near future
are that the city of Boomers Ferry
will become the county seat of
new county, and the fact that the
greatest industry not only OF the
new county but of the state of
Idaho, is developing within Is
miles of Boomers Ferry, should be
a matter of great interest to its cit
liens.
The old saying that A prophet
is never without honor save in his
own country" is certainly appli-
cable in this case. If there are two
dozen citizens of Bonner county
who know of the Idaho Gold and
Radium Mining Company, the
chances are that the information
they have is incorrect.
This company is a two million
dollar corporation under the laws
OF the state of Washington and Ii
censed to do business in the state
of Idaho. 1t is the owner OF 81
mining claims in a solid body on
Boulder creek adjoining the Great
Northern railway station of Leonia,
Is miles east of Bonners Ferry.
Eight hundred acres of the area
covered by these claims is huge
glacial deposit of gold bearing
gravel, of an average depth of 200
feet. There are approximately
800, 900, 900 cubic yards of gravel
which would require about SO years
OF continuous sluicing with very
powerful equipment, working "a
hours per day, nine months in the
year, to work out. Boulder creek
supplies 10, 900 miners inches Of
water under a 400 foot gravity
head, and for about a mile from
the mouth of the creek there is q
canyon which makes an ideal dump
for the tailings. This dump is
about 500 feet deep, 1000 feet wide
and over a mile long. These are
the three principal essentials of &
successful placer mine, but all 9th
or features, elements and conditions
are present as though made tt
order.
The gravel banks have beer
thoroughly tested to determine the
gold content. Ten foot prospec
holes have been sunk all over the
property. Sluicing tests have beer
made. A ESQ foot tunnel has beer
driven into the solid bank anc
thousands of pan tests have beer
made at high and low levels, a
places where the virgin gravel ha:
been exposed by the steam shove
in road making, where there hav,
been natural slides, where small
streamlets have cut through tn,
bars and where Boulder creek ha
eroded the banks. These tests con
vince the company that the average
gold content in coarse gold o
these gravel bars is at least 81
cents per cubic yard. They als'
contain an average of 20 pounds o
black or iron sand, which, accord
ing to dozens of assays from vari
Gus parts of the property carr,
gold values conservatively places
at $50 per ton, at this rate 20 TWEEN
ty pounds would make an addition
al value of so cents per cubic yard
The gravel also carries large guam
titles of rubies and garnets. TIL

It's satisfaction whether these hav
ar have not commercial yslue,

THE UNION MISSION
To the Friends of the Union Mission
and Citizens of Ardmore:

To the Friends of the Union Mission
and Citizens of Ardmore:
Our mission, we think, is progress q
ing fine. We have Brother Evans
with us this week Preaching each
night through the week. Brother
Evans is a cousin TO our county
commissioner Evans, and we find
him to be a fine sweet spirited Cody
man and real gospel preacher
Come out and hear him. We love
to stand by and recommend a man
who comes to our city as Mr. Evans
has for the real good of the people
We know the people of Ardmore
have been imposed on by class of
road buns, running over the county
and drifting in here and preaching
on the street corners and opening up
what they call missions, and, of
course, they get a certain class of
folks to follow and listen until they
blow out and then they go on some
where else to do likewise. But the
faithful will receive the reward if
We endure to the end.
Our Sunday school is just fine. We
are certainly proud of the great i'm
provement of this Sunday school. We
invite everyone to our Sunday school
and to our revival services.
Respectfully.
THE UNION MISSION.
