Another Big Contract

Here is positive proof of good
times and the success possible for an
article of honest value, when backed
by good advertising in the right
newspapers.
If there has ever been any ques-
ton in the minds of our readers re-
garding the productiveness of the
Bonners Ferry Herald as a business
building medium, that question is
settled definitely now.
We have just received a big con-
tract for advertising space from the
facturers of the famous Calumet Bak-
ing Powder.
Year after year, at this season,
they make their contracts with the
leading publications. They adver-
tise in thousands and thousands of
newspapers throughout the country
and are in position to know the
value of newspaper publicity.
The absolute purity, the unques-
tionable wholesomeness and wonder
full economy of Calumet Baking Pow
der, all backed by honest advertising
in the right mediums has succeeded
in building for them a tremendous
business and enviable reputation.
This year Calumet advertising will be
very much different than any of the
previous years. One of the country's
best character artists has created for
Calumet a cute little character which
will amuse the youngsters and tell
the housewives in HE own individual
way how to secure the best results
in baking

Start On Northside Water System


Yesterday crew of men began
work on the new water system for
the Northside. The crew will dig
bitches for some 5000 feet of water
pipe mains and laterals, the mains to
be six inch pipe and the laterals to
be four inch pipe.
Manager Gale, of the Bonner Wa
ter e. Light Co., was unable to state
definitely when the work would be
completed on account of the posi-
bility of having to dig the water
bitches through rock. 1t is certain
that Northside residents will be able
to connect with \ the water mains
within three months, however.
Yesterday Mr.. Gale had not de-
cided yet whether the Northside sys-
tenn would be supplied from the
present pumping plant or whether
he would furnish a separate pumping
plant. The pressure tank will be
located on the hill west of C. F.
VOLTS residence.
With the installation of the new
water system three fire hydrants will
be placed on the Northside, one near
the w. 0. Rosebaugh residence, one
near the w. T. James residence, and
one near the ]. H. Hoagland resi-
dence.

accidental reading of a telegram
wherein the unfortunate lover had
spoken of his new yecht in terms of

fact that Geraldine was only a boat.
A similar blunder is reported by the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
There were five passengers in he
street car, and as it approached a
crossing the conductor called, "Wil-
liam.'
One man got up and went out.
Ami" announced the conductor,
and a woman left the car.
Tucked away in the corner was a
little man with a foreign-looking face.
When the conductor called "George,"
and another passenger alighted, the

whispered to the conductor. Before
