OPPOSED TO NO. 5 DRAINAGE
Herald Subscriber Gives Reasons for
Wanting Delay of Drainage Plans

To the Editor of the Herald:
We notice in your paper of Oc-
tober goth that the drainage COM
missioners have placed a very heavy
assessment on the property of Dis
trict No. 5. This district extends
from Boomers Ferry down river for
about ten miles, portion of the land
in this district is covered with water
the year round and has many soft
places where a person will sink into
the land as though they were in
quick sands. 1t has many other in
dications of underground channels
that connect with the river. This
alone would forbid dilxing, because
the expense of pumping the water
would be very great The height Of
the dixie proposed by the commission
ers is to be below the high water
mark, SO in every time of high water
1T would be washed away, as it is
not to be protected by stone or ce-
ment- Often large portions of the
bank are undermined and washed
away. When this happens the dixie
could not be repaired until after
high water. The rebuilding of the
dixie would be a great expense aside
from the loss of crops. Looking at
this scheme in a common sense way
we can not see one chance in hun
dred of its being a success. Should
it fail, Bonners Ferry would lose
about s115,000. Can the people af-
ford to do this is the question. TAX
ing money from portion of the peo-
pie and giving it to another portion
does not build up the community but
tears it down. There is but one sue
cessful way to drain the Kootenai
Valley, and that is to follow the
scheme of the United States and
open the narrows and lower Kootenai
Lake. When this is done no water
will back up river that will call for
the use of bikes, bitches or pumps.
1t takes a spirit of brotherhood to
build up a city. How much brother
hood is there in taking the life
earnings of some of our people and
giving them to some other persons
Again there is every reason to be-
'ieve the United States will soon be
ready to act in a drainage scheme
The drainage of the entire valley
is sure to make Bonners Ferry q
city. Any other scheme that Is TesE
than the drainage of the whole val
ley would be a great loss to Boomers
Ferry. Loyalty and the spirit OF
human enthusiasm marks the success
Of any city, so let everybody bcos
for the United States scheme O.
draining the whole valley. We hav,
examined the drainage propositio,
from all sides and believe that it i
the most useless and uncalled TO
lscheme we have ever been permitte
to examine. The persons that woul
do this work would probably be con
tractors outside Of Bonners Ferry
Of course they and their crow
would get the major part of thi
iS115.

In last weeks issue the Herald
stated that the county commissioners
had ordered the building of a road
near Naples connecting with the High

son ranch. We are informed that the
county commissioners have made no
provisions for this road and that lit
tie chance exists Of its being con-
structed this fall.
