new RAILWAY
MAY COME HERE
Bellingham, Mount Baker & Spokane
Railway President Says 1t Will
Connect Near State Line
DOING THE SURVEY WORK NOW
Is Said To Be Sure Thing in Western
Washington

Bonners Ferry will probably be on
the line of new railroad, the build
ing of which is looked upon as
certainty in western Washington,
should the present plans materialize-
In recent interview President ]. E.
Morrison, Of the Bellingham, Mount
Baker & Spokane railway, announced
that the survey for the new road
between Bellingham and Deming was
now being finished and that it was
planned to start building operations
early next spring.
President Morrison said: The
new road will not only traverse the
richest parts of the state Of Wash
ington but it will be the shortest
line and the easiest grade of any
road operating between Spokane and
the coast. 1t will also reach tide
water at a port closer to the open
waters Of the Pacific by 245 miles
than any other point, and closer to
Alaska by over 100.
1.-THE engineering features OF the
road have been gone into thoroughly
and with the making of two tunnels,
will afford a grade less than 2 per
cent. Almost every mile is along
river valleys, thus saving greatly in
the cost Of grading and construction
work. Bridges are few, and at the
outside $22,5O0,000, the amount Of
the Capitalization, will, with small
bond issue, build standard road and
equip it for business, including ter
minals, docks, stations and offices.
"The road will not be steam
railroad, but will be operated by
water-generated electricity from
sources owned by the company. II
will be only 2S8 miles long between
Spokane and Bellingham, compared
with $40 miles of the Great Northern
between Spokane and Seattle"
Upon leaving Spokane the new
road will go in a northeasterly di
rection and will hit the Canadian
boundary near the state boundar!
lines of Idaho and Montana wher'
it will connect with another new roa'
now building or get a charter of it
own and extend through Canada t.
Hudson Bay. If this part of tn
program materializes it is more thai
probable that Boomers Ferry woul'
be served by the new road.

Equipment Is Shipped Monday to
rangeville-Interest Slight

Definite steps were taken Monday
by Major Jeffries, Idaho National
Guard, for the mastering out of
Company E, of Bonners Ferry, and
the equipment was packed ard sent
to Grangeville where arrangements
were made some weeks ago for the
organization of a national guard
company.
Under the direction of Captain
Spoerry the company here was one
Of the best in the state considering
the difficulties under which it worked.
After he left interest in the organic
alton was lost and the state de-

Bonners Ferry could not give the
company the support necessary.

out of Company f will be issued
soon from the Office Of General Grove

The following, from Major Walker,
is in explanation of the committees
action and gives the committees ideas
as to how the slogan adopted can be
used:
The Civic club of this city proceed
ed intelligently and periodically to
provide brief, pithy phrase upon the
use of which the entire public of
Boundary county, and especially Bon
ners Ferry, could unite.
Contributions were invited by the
club and a more brilliant and free re-
Spouse could not have been expected
One hundred and twenty-five good
suggestions were turned in, showing
that the people are already enthusiasts
tic.
The board of judges appointed by
the Civic club chose No. 33 as being
an appeal to people abroad as well al
at home. The last phrase, "Bonner'
Ferry" was supposed by the judges t
be already printed on all stocks o
checks, letter heads and other bust
ness mems stationery; SO that tn
other words Of the slogan could b
inserted above and to the left with o
without illustrations, according to tn
taste or commercial motive of tn

owner. For instance: The words,
Bigger, Better" can be set into a
cut of a strawberry, an apple, COW,
sheaf of grain, a log, a mine shaft,
or a store or bank.
The very iteration of this slogan,
in all its possible variations, is bet
ter index of the spirit of our people
than pressing invitation would be,
if worded to people abroad.
Respectfully submitted,
w. S. WALKER, Chairman.

REFUSES TO PRAY
FOR SUCCESS OF
BRIT AIMS FORCES

London, Jan 26.-Dr. William
Carnegie, Canon of Westminster, an
nounced to his pensioners on '1n-
tercession Sunday that he would
not comply with the request that had
been made of him to pray for the
success of British arms. He said:
t.Among the things which hold
should not be prayed for-I men
ton it with great hesitation, but feel
it to be my duty. since it is set forth
in the seventh section of the author
lied FORMS the triumph of our
cause We hold that our cause is
righteous, but our foes are equally
convinced that righteousness is on
their side. God is the Judge, and we
must pray for submission to his will,

Introduce a. special prayer for anis
mails into the service also has no
support in the higher clergy, If at all
in the clergy OF the English church.

prayer for the animals and speaks
OF them as offering their guileless
lives,'' says DR.. Gore, Bishop of Ok
| ford. ut has never been the custom
of the church to pray for any other
thing than those we think are ra-

A VALUABLE
SUGGESTION
Important to Everyone

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kfdaeys should have more
attention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do a
tremendous amount of work in reInov-
ing the poisons and waste matter from
the system by altering the blood.
During the winter months especial
1y, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than Ma
ture intended. Evidence of kidney
trouble, such as lame back, annoying
bladder troubles, sInarting or burning,
brick-duSt or sediment, saIlow COM
pIexion, rheumatism, may be weak or
irregular heart action, warns you that
your kidneys require help Immediate
~ to avoid more serious trouble
Many physicians claim that an herb
al medicine containing no minerals or
opiates has the most healing influence.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had most remarkable success as a
kidney and bladder remedy is DIR. Kill

DlXMUDE STREETS
SCENE OF BATTLE

Antwerp, Jan. ga story told by
a Berlin school teacher confirms what
many have said about the bloodiness
of the fighting which took place in the
streets of Dixmude.
The teacher, and two other Berlin
landwehr men,a lawyer and a pub
lisher--were entering that little town
in Flanders with other German SOL
diers by some of the main streets.
when they became the prey of Tur-
cos in hiding, They derted from
narrow sidestreets and houses, and as
eye witnesses relate. sprang upon the
heavier Germans like SO many tigers.
The three Berlin landwehr men had
just rounded one of the corners of
the city hall, when they We're separat-
ed from their comrades by a rush of
TlIrcos from the fire station. There
was nothing they could do but back
into a door opening, and here they
tried to keep a large crowd of yelling
Turcos at bay. What happened next
is best told by the teacher. who now
has the less exciting job of doing
sentry duty on one of the local wha.r-
yes, for which detail a rather large
wound in the thigh is responsible.
1.-The Turcos went at us with might
and MAN, he said. II can still see
their rolling eyes and white teeth.
They seemed to literally thirst for our
blood. But their yelling and shout
ing was worse, perhaps than their eff
forts to finish the three of us. Every
time we put bullet into one of them
or Jabbed the bayonet home, the aw-
full racket the fellows made with
their leather-Iined threats increased.
But we kept on shooting into the
crowd, delaying the end which SEEM
ed all too close.
Finally one Of us three, the pub
Usher, went down with a shot in the
head-skuII fractured. The Turcos
thought that now they would put an
end to the business. So also thought

chest Then the lawyer went down.
L was alone then, and thought it was
all over.
lust then a large flask rose from
the ground before me. The explosion
which followed drowned the voices of
the yelling Tureos. Then I went
down-with my thigh split wide open
by one of the splfnters of the shell
THE spot was a sight, when re-
gained my senses. Dead and nnutiiat-
ed TCrcos everywhere. We were
found about eight o'clock that night,
