Interesting Bit Of Early History and Disputed Land Titles Involved
H. Shavslars Order to Local Property Owners Vacae Homes

Considerable interest has been
aroused in Boomers Ferry this
week by the notice given by J H.
Shavelear, of Hope, to certain local
property owners to vacate certain
lands occupied by them, Mr.. SHAY
clear claiming title to this land and
claiming that the people now &C.
cupying the tract are trespassers.
The properties involved lie west of
the Catholic church and south of
the Great Northern right of way
and are known locally as the VIM
Van Gasken, Ben Morrow, Frank
Berger, Walker Rooming House
and Chas. w. King properties.
The present occupants of the dis
puted tract claim that Shavelear
has no title to the land, and there
by hangs an interesting tale. Their
version of the story is as follows.
The original townsites of Eaton
and Bonnerport-now known as
Boomers Ferry-were laid out and

plated before the government had
surveyed this section. Title was
secured from the government by
paying $3.50 an acre for the land,
and patent was issued to the village
boards of trustees in trust for the
people. When the government
finally made its surveys through
here it was found that a small cor
ner of the TOWNSHIP of Eaton lay
within a railroad section, the town
site cutting off very small corner
of the northeast quarter of the
southeast quarter of said railroad
section. This corner so cut off by
the townsite is the property under
dispute and comprises, including
railroad right-of-way, streets, etc,
about 81 acres.
When the trustees of Eaton
learned that part of the village laic
within the railroad section, they
made application to purchase this
small corner acreage from the

Northern Pacific railway company,
aud a deed to this acreage was
finally issued by the railroad to
John H. Tamblin, chairman of the
board of trustees of the village of
Eaton, in trust for the people. The
trustees then made application to
the government for a refund of the
amount they had previously paid
the government for this small acre
age later included in the railroad
section and the government re-
funded the amount as requested.
Later Mr.. Shavelear bought the
section from the Northern Pacific
company. In the deed of transfer
the land under dispute is described
by metes and bounds in technical
and complicated language and, ac-
cording to the present occupant:

Cos.land School Sells Bonds

At recent meeting of the trus-

land, bids were opened for the sale Of
the school bonds recently advertised
and the bid of Sweet, Causey, Foster
& Co., of Denver, Colo, was accepted
as the best and highest bid at s127.50-
Nine other bids were made, the bid of
the First State Bank, of Bonners Fer
ry, being second best. The trustees of
the district expect to begin work on
the new school building as soon as
they secure the money from the sale
of the bonds.

road had previously sold it to the
Village of Eaton. Thus according
to their allegations, the procedure
was as follows: The tract was first
bought from the government for
$3.50 an acre; later it was pur-
chased from the Northern Pacific
company and a refund obtained
from the government, and Mr..
Shavelear can have no title to the
tract as he did not enter the nego.
tiations until later.
Shavelear, however, takes issue
with these allegations and claims
that the deed issued to him by the
railroad company includes the land
under dispute. The present occu-
pants insist that Shavelear does not
understand the deed on account OF
its technical and complicated word
ing and that he is mistaken.
Mr.. Shavelear was formerly local
station agent for the Great North
ern railway.

COMPANY EWINS
PLACE OF HONOR
Takes Second Prize in Rifle Contest
and Receives Many Compliments
on Its SoldierIy Appearance
BOYS ALL LIKE The EXPERIENCE
Company May See Service on Mexican
Border in Near Future

The men and officers of Com
pany E, Idaho National Grarda
were mighty glad to get back Sun-
day morning to good old Bonners
Ferry and the cool green mountai'ts
surrounding, after a ten day stay
at Camp Haley at Boise, Idaho,
where 500 other men, representing
companies of the guard from all
parts of the state, spent the annual
encampment.
The trip was an enjoyable one
for every man in the company.
There was plenty of hard work to
perform and plenty of time for re-
creation, although this year the
members of the Guard were worked
twice as hard as any other year.
The trip to Boise was not pleas
ant one on account of the hot
weather and the sand and dust en-
countered in the vicinity of Pendle-
ton, Greg. The long stretches OF
sagebrush-covered sand grew mo-
notonous in very short time. The
return trip was far the more pleas
ant as the special train which car
ried the Guard went through the
worst of the sand at night and the
day was quite cool and pleasant.
The first day at camp was an
arduous one. The work of setting
tents and the camp routine was en-
tirely new to Company Z, but its
members were in comfortable quar-
tiers just as soon as some of the
older companies. Quartermastei
Bangs was new to the job but be
lost little time in seeing to it tina
the men had plenty to eat anc
Cook Peterson managed to hav,
plenty of we'll cooked and appetiz
ing food ready for each mess cal
when 40 hungry men lined up il
front of the serving table.
| Every man in the company from
Captain Spoerry down to tn
youngest private in the rear ranl
seemed to have come to cam
with the determination to make
good showing for the baby" com
pany from Boomers Ferry. The
succeeded so we'll that the Bots
papers gave the local company tn
highest praise upon the showing
made in its first battalion drill an
the officers of the camp and visitor
frequently remarked upon the mi
itary appearance and actions. {

The Monday following the al
rival of the Guardsmen at Bots

was Liberty Bell day. The entire
regiment acted as guard for the
famous old emblem of liberty and
Company + was fortunate in being
stationed directly in front of the
bell where every man had chance
to get an excellent view.
First Sergeant Monks, Sergeant
Gale, Sergeant Brace, Corporal
Miller and Private Butler represent
ed Company + in the regimental
contest at the rifle ranges and
much to the delight of the entire
organization took second place in
the battalion. Had Captain Spoer-
ry, who is by far the best shot in
the company, been on the team, it
is more than probable that the
local company would have taken
first place in the battalion. Cap
tain Spoerry did not take place
on the team because he felt that
Company + had no chance to win
out this year and he wanted to give
the men of the organization the
benefit of the experience.
On Sunday the entire company
attended church services conducted
on the camp grounds by Chaplain
Martin. The men had practically
the whole day to themselves and in
the afternoon the company paid a
visit to the state penitentiary and
the state capitol house. Company
E was the only organization of the
regiment which was allowed to Wis
it these two places of interest in
body.
Natatorium park with its natural
hot water was the favorite resort of
all the National Guardsmen. Ad-
mission 10 the park was free the
first night of the encampment. On
two nights the moving picture
shows of Boise entertained all men
in uniform and the military ball at
White City park was the attraction
on last Thursday night.
Every member of Company E
has expressed himself as being de-
lighted with the outing afforded
and more than ready to attend the
encampment next year. The en-
campment next year will probably
be held at Yellowstone Park or at
some point in Utah.
Rumor was strong at Camp
Haley to the effect that the Next
can situation will necessitate a
mobilization call of the National
Guard of Idaho at Boise not later
| than October 1st. Should such a
call be issued it is certain that the
members of the National Guard
will not be called into the battle
line but will only be used in patrol
ling the boundary line between
Mexico and the United States.

Over week ago the Great North

ton to J. c. Rykert, the Canadian
immigration official opposite Port

for the work. Mr.. Rykert refused
the request on the ground that
Canadian workmen should be en-
ployed in as large numbers as it is
possible to secure, and the railway
has guaranteed to take on at least
fifty. With this assurance Mr..
Rykert wrote Ottawa, and as soon
as the official order issues a shift oil
