Christmas At Mccormick School

Leonia, Idaho, Dec. 27-The larg-
est crowd in the history of this COM
munity assembled at the above
named school, on Christmas eve, to
honor the greatest of all festivals.
The school house was tastefully dec
GRATED to represent the interior of a
church. Appropriate notices in ever
green letters were conspicuously
placed on the walls and across the
hall were thrown artistic festoons of
mosscovered ropes. The building was
well supplied with lights, most of
which were donated for the occasion.
Altogether it was very good re-
production of scene in an earlier
civilization. The program commenced
at 8 p. M, opening with the choral
song christmas Welcome" 1t last
ed until $50 when the final song,
Softly the Night Came Down Ger
Bethlehem" was sung as the Christ
mas tree was being illuminated. Can
dy and other things were then dis
tributed making the children happy
and the older folk rejoice that the
true spirit of Christmas still prevails
to make the mind turn to a higher
source from which emanates all true
happiness. Our entertainment con-
cluded with a supper and dance
Quite a few people retired while
preparations were being made for
the dance, otherwise it would have
been impossible, owing to lack of
floor space.
The money received in donations
covered all expenditures. The at
fair was managed by Mrs. George
Mccormick, Mrs. w. S. Fetterer, and
Mrs. Glen Tyler. Those who took
part in the program in addition to
the above named are W. S. Fitterer,
DeRoy Crissey, Glen Tyler, Ben B.
Beach, Frank Weiss, Dan and Frank
O'Gallagher, Olney Crissey and Fran
els Mccormick, Misses Agnes Dewey,
Hattie Weiss, Mary Evelyn McCor-
mick, Eva Marshall, Mrs. Leslie Ma
Josh and Mrs. Ben Beach. A good
many of our people attended the
joint celebration at Curley Creek
on Christmas night. Standing room
only was to be obtained during the
rendition Of the program there. The
crowds at both places prove that
while we are fast growing numer-
ically we are also expanding in a
spiritual sense as was apparent from
the deep respect and appreciation
manifested by all present at those
simple celebrations of the greatest
event in the Christian world. With
greater fervor than ever before we
should now repeat the words of the
benediction, peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men,"

ONE LOGGING
CAMP STARTED
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company Plans
To Have Good Supply Of Logs
For Spring Saving
START ANNUAL REPAIR WORK
Prospects Good for Lumber Market
This Coming Year

The news given out last week in
the special edition of the Boomers Fer
ry Herald that the Bonners Ferry
Lumber Co. would resume operations
next spring was almost too good to
believe.
This week Logging Superintendent
IL. w. Stewart has been busy arrang-
ing for the starting of logging camps
and the company cruisers are now out
looking over timber with view of
contract letting.
The Bonners Ferry Lumber Com
pany will work a crew of some 70
men in the Cow Creek district with
Jack Armstrong in charge. The COM
pany expects to get out several mil
lion feet there in the next few weeks,
of western pine, larch and fir. The
company is also planning on start
ing another camp in the near future
The balance Of the logging will be
done by contract.
The annual overhauling and repair
ing will begin at the sawmill next
week.
Manager R. H. Mccoy is still con-
fident that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will render q favorable
verdict in the matter of freight rates
over the Great Northern railway int
Montana and Dakota points. 1t il
upon this decision and upon the ris
ling of the lumber market that the
future of the Bonners Ferry mill de
ponds to large extent.
The announcement which the Her
aid made several weeks ago that thu
Crescent Woodenware Co. would re
sumo operations at its factory her
next spring has not yet been cor
roborated by the officials of the con
Germ. 1t is true that a crew is nov
overhauling the machinery and get
ting the plant in readiness for work
II the lumber market continues Of
it's present upward trend the peopl
of Boomers Ferry and the Kootena
Valley may look forward to the bes
times ever seen in this district dur
, ing the year 1916

Need More Library Books

c. d. Simonds, who has charge Of
Bonners Ferry's free library, states
that over rs readers have now taken
out membership cards and that the
list is growing daily. The library
now has something over 400 books
but there is growing need for new
ones and something should be done
at once to secure new books if the
interest in the library is to be kept
up to the present standard.
The free library was established
by the members of the Bonners Fer
ry Readers Club and the expenses
of getting the library started were
borne by club members. The library
should be kept stocked with good
books of science, fiction, poetry, trav-
ell and adventure. Nearly every home
has a few books which have been
read and which have become nothing
more than useless ornaments, to say
the least. These books would be in
teresting reading for some one and
should be turned over to the free Ii
brary. Those desiring 70 help the
free library and who have no books
to donate will find that any amount
of a cash donation would be accept
able and the money will be used by
the Readers Club to best advantage
in buying new books.

Bonner Bakery Sold

A deal was closed Monday whereby
J. T. Gray sold the Bonner Bakery
to B. P. Duffy and w. C. Bowling,
who took immediate charge. Mr..
Gray left Tuesday for Spokane where
he will spend the remainder of the
winter, planning to improve his ranch
near Spokane next spring and sum-
mer.
The new proprietors are both Spo-
kane men. Mr.. Bowling is a baker
of many years experience and until
recently was with the Spokane Bak-
cry company. Mr.. Duffy was con-
nected with the Spokesman Review
until about three months ago.

low rate of interest and by letting
the work to a skilled contractor who
is equipped with proper machinery,
get their lands cleared at the mini
mum of cost and without delay. If
a considerable amount of such land
lying in a connected body could be
thus cleared, say, from 500 to 1000
acres, or even more, and then imme-
diately put into crop it would form a
community that would provide homes
for a considerable number of farm
ers. The settler would not be iso-
lated on individual ten acre clear
ings with forests intervening, but
would be living in the open with
neighbors near at hand, sufficient in
number to maintain schools and
churches and with good connecting
roads.
Such a large clearing would be
freer from the danger of frost than
smaller tracts situated in the dense
timber Air drainage would be i'm
proved and wind and sunlight would
have a chance at the land. The
scheme is essentially cooperative
one in which all parties pay accord
ing to the benefits received. Settlers
could doubtless have opportunity to
secure employment under the con-
tractor and there would be employ
ment for teams also. The contractor
with his donkey engines, powerful
machinery and cheap powder, bought
in large quantities could do the work
cheaper and faster than a lone hand
ed worker could do. / have been as
sured that bonds for such work could
readily be sold in the money markets,
and on long time payment plan, the
cleared lands would have time to pro-
duce the crops necessary to meet the
payments as they would mature.
What this would really produce would
be new homes, increased farming
acreage, more people and greater
production of agricultural wealth.

LAST OF THREE
DAY SESSIONS
Farmers Movable School Has Been
Instructive Wei ATTENDED
Considering Weather Conditions
MISS HOOVER'S LECTURES PLEASE
Senator Elliott Gives Special Address
This Afternoon

The last sessions of the Movable
School of the Extension Department
of the University of Idaho, are being
held this afternoon at the school
house of Independent School District
No. d.
The bitter cold of the past few days
has undoubtedly kept many farmers
from attending the school who would
have otherwise been on hand. De-
spite the cold the various sessions.
which started Wednesday afternoon,
have been attended by most of the
representative farmers of the dis
trict, many of them having attended
every session. The interest has been
great and those who made it possible
for the school to be held here as we'll
as the instructors, have every reason
to feel that their efforts have been
well rewarded and that great good
has been accomplished.
The program as advertised last
week in the Herald has been carried
out in it's entirety with the exception
of the lecture yesterday morning on
"The Hog, His Breeding and Feed
ing" which was to have been given
by Prof. E. J. Iddings. This subject
was handled instead by Prof. c. v.
Hickman, it being impossible for Prof.
Iddings to come here.
Some of the best and most interest
ing and instructive lectures and dem
onstrations of the course will be Civ
en- this afternoon. A feature of the
program this afternoon is to be the
address by Senator E. E. Elliott, for
mer dean of the agricultural college
of Idaho. Senator Elliott will ex-
plain his plan for clearing logged-off
lands. The gist of his remarks will
be found in another column in this
issue of the Herald.
This morning Prof. Jones took up
the topic of the "Soils of Boundary
County," and explained the steps nee
essary to take to secure the best re-
suits with crops. Prof. Jones has
complete analyses of the soils of this
district and so was we'll able to give
expert advice. Prof. Robb told of the
value of field peas in crop rotation
and f. H. La Frenz, superintendent
of the state experimental farm at
Standpoint, gave an instructive adj
dress upon the subject Land Clear
ing and First Crops"
This afternoon there will be sort
of Round Table discussion Of "Seec
Growing and Marketing" which is tc
be followed by addresses by Prof
Robb and Prof. Jones.
The domestic science lectures anC
demonstrations by Miss Hoover were
feature of the Movable School ses
sions and the ladies who attended ex
press themselves as being well pait
for the time they spent with Mis-
Hoover.
One Of the good results of having
the Movable School here this weel
is that arrangements have been mad
whereby the fruit growers and farm
ers Of this vicinity made leave speci
mems of diseased plants or fruits a
the high school building and the stu
dents will have the same ranked +
, the University at Moscow where ex
, perts will examine them and tel
what the difficulty is and how t
, remedy it.

PRIZE PIANO
ON EXHIBITION
$500 Instrument Will Be Given Away
January 10th By B.nuers Ferry
Merchants is Beauty
ALSO EIGHT OTHER PRIZES
Only a Few More Days for Contestants
To Work

The prize $500 piano which is to
be given to the winner of the Bon
ners Ferry Merchants Prize Voting
Contest when the final count is
made on January goth, 1916, arrived
here Wednesday and is now on ex-
hibition in the store Of Richardson
& Monks.
Some one of the many contestants
entered in the contest will be its
owner after January goth and the
girl that wins it will surely be proud
and happy over her achievement.
Who is going to win that piano?
That question can be answered by
saying that the girl who wins is the
one with the most perseverance, the
most persistency. She is the one who
worked every day in securing votes
and getting her friends to secure
votes for her. She asked every per-
son she met to subscribe for the
Herald or to pay up their subscrip-
ton. She asked her friends and had
her friends ask their acquaintance
to pay cash for their purchases at
the stores and to save their mer-
chants coupons for her.
The girl that wins must see to it
that her friends are boosting for her.
The girl that is in earnest and works
hard will make friends who will help
her. When people see that the con-
testant has set her heart and soul on
winning the prize then they will be
anxious to help her.
ANY single contestant has a good
chance to win the piano although
she may have had the least number
of votes at the last count. The con-
testant who would get out today
and make IA systematic house to
house canvass of Bonners Ferry and
vicinity, from now until the time of
the closing of the contest, would
stand a mighty good show of win
ming. And to be systematic and thor
ough in the effort to win the piano
is the only way for the leaders to
be sure of getting the grand prize.
Every single person of Boundary
county should be willing to help some
little girl win a $500 prize when
they are really out no particular eff
fort in so doing. All that is re-
quired is to ask for and save your
merchants coupons at the stores and
to subscribe or renew your subscrip-
ton to the Herald. All subscribers
who pay their subscription one year
in advance will be given the Herald
Premium Clubbing Offer of the
Woman's World, Household, Farm
Life and Home Life, free for one
year.
No one will be able to tell any con-
testant how they stand in the race
The ballot box is now at the Herald
office, safely. locked and it will not be
opened until the day Of the final
count. After January 10th, the bal
lot box will be placed in the First
State Bank and will be kept there
until the last day Of the contest wher
the judges will open it and deter
mine who wins the piano. Get busy
keep busy. work hard, work every
minute Of every day. If you win you
will have made the easiest money
you ever made. If you should lose
you have lost nothing but your time
The standing of the various con
testants in the contest as shown by
the count Saturday night, Decembel
18th, is as follows:

REPAIR.T0DAY BAD
 STRETCH IN ROAD
Hiatus in Fine BIuf-Little Rock Mod. eTn Read to Be Repaired Without
 CGst to Grant County.

Three negro laborers in charge of foreman, whose services were do- mated by Manager B. c. Fowles of the Pine Bluff company, will be taken out on the Dollarway road this morning by Clifton Dreiflls and Frank Bloom, to repair several bad spots in the road in Grant county, just this side of the Saline county line.
 The road has washed away to a certain extent at several places, and it is planned to have these bad spots filled in and leveled up this forenoon, brush and dirt from that section be- ing the material used. With these re- pairs, the road all the way through to Little Rock will be in good shape. The bad part of the road has never been modernized. but work in that line is to be started within short time. Repairs to be made today will be of temporary nature only.

On Tuning 3 Piano.

Many people think 1t Is an easy matter to tune piano, but this is not the case. As celebrated a musi. clan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious idea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the
 Tareroom, one of his whims being that even 1 short removal of a piano knocks it out of tune. There is, of course, a modicum of truth in the theory. So it was tuned upon the platform where he was to perform, He stood over the tuner all the time, at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When the task was almost completed he gave shout and, seizing the wrench, began doing it all ovar again. In three min. utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Bu. low had to pay dearly for this exhibi. ton of ignorance.

Judgment Against Murray.

Judgment by default against Arthur Murray for s2S,125 was enter ed yesterday in the case of Edgar Brewster, collector. vs. Bank of Pine Bluff ct al. The judgment against MT. Murray is in his capacity s~ - stockholders in the bank, and is for about s27 800 more than his liability and the amount that he will be called upon te pay. When the bank closed last July, MT. Brewster, as tax col lector, entered suit for the amount of public monies on deposit, S14l,- 394.S4. Shortly afterward, some of the stockholders aided Mir. Brewster and lis bondsmen in raising funds to settle with the state, the stockhold- CTS putting uI, at the rate of s1'2o TOT each $1 of their holdings in the bank The sum Of $100,000 was raised ID this way. The remainder needed by the collector was, secured by hlm and his bondsmen. MT. Mur->y dld not participate in this transaction. Other stockholders of the bank, named in MT. Brewster's suit, filed answer, dls- claiming liability by reason Of their payment toward the deposit and these demurrers were upheld. MT. Murray allowed the matter to go by default, and judgment was rendered against him for approximately the en- tire amount due the tax collector and his bondsmen from the bank. As the bank will pay 100 per cent, Mir. Murray will not have to pay any more than his pro rata, with perhaps the addition of court costs. He owned stock in the bank of a par value of $500
