French Will Be a Candidate

Last Friday the announcement was
made in Boise that Congressman
Burton l.. French would become a
candidate for nomination on the re-
publican ticket for the lower house
of congress and that a formal an
nouncement would be made soon.
For some time there has been con-
siderable speculation as to whether
or not Mr.. French would enter the
campaign next summer as a candi-
date for congress or for governor of
Edaho. In the last republican prim-
airy election he was defeated for U.
S. senator by Senator James H.
Brady.
While Mr.. French undoubtedly has
many friends over the state there is
but little question but that the Bon
ners Ferry candidate, Senator E. E.
Elliott, will be a rival hard to beat.
If French does get into the game it
will mean that Senator Elliotts
friends here and in all parts of the
state will rally to his support and
make greater efforts in his behalf
than if he had had the field to him.

OPERATIONS At SAWM|LL TO
BE- RESUMED NEXT SPRING

Manager R. H. Mccoy of the Boomers Ferry Lumber
Company announced this morning that he had been adj
vised that the Interstate Commerce Commission would
render decision in the matter of freight rates the
Great Northern railway from Bonners Ferry to Montana
and Dakota points, inside of 80 days.
The Boomers Ferry Lumber Company has every reason
to believe that the decision will be favorable one
Acting upon this belief and in view of the fact that
the lumber marbet all the United States to be
on the raise the Boomers Ferry Lumber Company will
make immediate arrangements for logging operations.
The proposed logging will be done by contract and it is
believed that the Boomers Ferry mill will be able to
operations next spring about the usual time with
day shift.
Naturally the resumption of work at the Boomers
Ferry plant will be a temporary basis. Mr.. Mccoy
states that he expect do much logging this win
that if the freight rate decision to be rendered by
the Interstate Chmmerce Commission, favorable and
if the lumber market continues to improve his company
will do sufficient logging that the plant may be to
its normal capacity.
The news that the Boomers Ferry mill will resume
operations is the welcome that the Herald has been
permitted to print in many years. Business men and
citizens who have had to look forward to period of
our largest payroll may prepare for the winter and
spring business on the usual basis
Mr. Mccoy believes that the lumber market will soon
be at point where it will be possible for his company to
manufacture without much of the loss it has had to
contend with in the past 1t is knowledge that
the numbering interests of the Northwest except those
handling white pine exclusively have been manufacturing
at a loss the past few years.

E0UALIZE SEWER
ASSESSMENTS
Town Board of Aldermen Heard Pro-
tests on Sewer Assessments on
Wednesday
PARK ADDITION is LEFT OUT
Residents Will Have to Pay Pro-rata
Sewer Tax

Between forty and fifty taxpayers
of Bonners Ferry attended the meet
ing held Tuesday night by the town
board of aldermen for the purpose
of hearing and investigating objec-
tions to the assessment roll of Sewer
Improvement District No l. Two
written protests were filed, the first
in behalf of the l. o. o. F. lodge
concerning residence property on
Kootenai street and the second by
residents of Park addition. The
board took up all oral protests
brought to its attention and on the
22nd visited the properties concern
ing which protests had been made.
Wednesday afternoon the board again
met for the purpose of considering
protests. Most of the protests which
have been filed have been settled
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Some of the protests made are still
under advisement but will be acted
upon shortly by the councilmen in
conjunction with the members OF
the Sewer Commission.
The protest filed by the residents
of Park addition was signed by 21
property owners. Probate Judge
Charles O'Callaghan, the largest in
dividual property owner of Park Adj
dition, presented the protest and, as
sisted by Attorney f. Nj. Flood, pre-
sented the objections of the Park Adj
dition Taxpayers. Judge O'Callaghan
claimed that the assessments of Park
addition were unreasonable and OPP
pressive and together with Attorney
Flood presented the claims in full
of the Park addition residents.
At this meeting the town board
changed a number of assessments
where clerical mistakes had been
made in preparing the assessment
roll due to changes in ownership and
dedication of parcels of land for
public uses, etc.
1t was brought out that number
of lots in the city were being as
sessed when, as a matter of fact, the
lots lay in hollows so low that it
would be impossible to serve them
with a sewer unless the pipe was
laid on the surface Of the ground.
Wednesday afternoon the members
of the town council practically COM
pleted their work of adjusting the
sewer assessments and it is expected
that the assessment roll will be fin
ally affirmed at an adjourned meeting
to be held next Monday.
In the matter of the protest of the
Park Addition residents it was de-
cided to do away with the laying Of
trunk lines and laterals. Riverview
addition will be served with a trunk
sewer which will end at the Frank
Chestek residence on the brow of the
hill. The Park addition residents
will be required to pay their pro rata
share of the trunk line and the outfall
and septic tank. This arrangement
is considered a fair adjustment by
the majority of the residents of Park
addition.

The actual cash receipts of the
state land office for the current year
amount to $1,217 ,432.40.
The land grants from the Federal
government to the state amount to
3,318,000 acres, and the land office
has the care, maintenance and dis
position Of these enormous holdings.
The land department has selected,
classified and cruised the state land.
1t has devoted great deal of effort
toward securing clear lists from
Washington. 1t conducts sales Of
land and timber from time to time
and reinvests the proceeds in farm
loans and school bonds. 1t looks af-
ter the collection of deferred pay
ments on lands sold, and the collec-
ton of interest on sold lands and
upon mortgages. 1t leases other
lands and collects the rentals. 1t
buys school bonds and collects the in
terest and payments when due. The
care of all these matters requires
business judgment, executive ability
and vast amount of clerical labor.
The volume of business done is
far in excess of that of any financial
institution in the state, and is rap
idly increasing. The work is ac-
complished with a fewer number OF
employees and at less expense thar
any business institution of like mag
nitude in the country.
Notwithstanding this record, the
land board desires to bring the lane
Office up to the highest point Of eff
ficiency and at the same time prac
tice every economy that good servic'
will permit. The changes ordered Il
take place on January 1 have thes'
ideas in mind.

CHANGES in
LAND OFFICE
State Officials Plan to Re-organize the
Work Of the Department About
January LIST.
WILL MEAN GREAT ECONOMY
Department Is Now One of Most I'm
portant In the State.

Boise, December Exchanges of
an important nature are scheduled to
take place in the state land office
on or about the first of January.
The states land office will be moved
into the new capitol building and the
work centralized. At the present
time the land office work is being
done in three departments, in the
office of the register, the Office of
the land commissioner, and the state
treasurer's office. 1t is claimed that
by centralizing these offices several
clerks and stenographers can be dis
pensed with, effecting a considerable
saving. Just what the amount Of
the saving will be can not be fore
told until the system is put in opera
ton. 1t is claimed that by having
the offices of the register and COM
missioner in one room one set of
clerks and stenographers will answer
for both officials where two sets are
now required. The same claim is
made of the treasury clerks now en-
ployed in land Office work.
The work Of feorganizing the land
department was started while Lieut.
Governor Taylor was acting governor
and is the outgrowth of movement
started at that time for economy
efficiency, convenience and economy
in handling the work of the land Of
flee, which has grown to be one Of
the greatest institutions in the state
The question may be asked why
these changes were not made long
ago if there be room for reduction
of expenses and an opportunity fol
greater efficiency. The answer il
that the business of the department
has grown so enormously that any
organization attempted has out
grown itself every few years. New
divisions were added from time t.
time as the business increased, ant
these had to be added to as the year
went by, and arrangements tina
seemed adequate a few years ag'
have been entirely outgrown.
The following figures will Civ
some idea of the great volume o
business that is transacted by tn
states land office:
There are 1904 farm loans in force
representing 1864, 390.74. Durinl
the current year 154 mortgages hav
been completed, representing 1862
r 470.
The value of the school bonds hel
t is s2,397,241.69.
2 Money received to date from tn
? sale of timber lands, s1,417 800.
Land sales, most of which are upo
= time contracts now running, amour
= to over s5,000,0o0.
The acreage under lease now j
force amounts to 1,049,072.
