At a special meeting of the town
board held yesterday morning the
trustees passed an ordinance pro-
viding to exchange a three cornered
tract of land in the rear of the
Ladley Photograph gallery for a 20
foot strip adjoining the county bridge
on the north end of Main street.
The deal was made with c. w. Meg
quier. The arrangement was made
in order that Mr.. Megquier might
be able to connect the new garage
he proposes to build with present
building.
Permission was also granted w. T.
James to tear away old frame build
ings in the rear of the former post
office building and to replace them
with a sheet-iron warehouse.

Mail Order Advertising Costs

Saturday a large shipment of the
annual catalogues of the Sears-Roe-
buck company were received at the
local postoffice. There were 400
catalogues in the shipment each
weighing three pounds and costing
seven cents each to mail. The
printing of these catalogues costs
in the neighborhood of so cents each
although the Sears-Roebuck people
use them in lots of a half million.
The paper in each book does not
cost less than Is cents each. The
initial cost of the Sears-Roebuck' S
campaign for business in Bonners
Ferry for the fall and winter bust
ness cannot be less than $3.50. 1t
can be figured that the company
spends at least $3.50 on each Gus
toner for advertising and that it has
done this for years to build up the
present trade.

Messrs. Stanley, Flood and Heigh-
ton seem to be sorely disappointed
that the republican state and county
committees take no cognizance of
their challenge which appeared on
the back page of the Times for
several weeks and now decorates the
front page.
They no doubt hoped that this
would give them an opportunity to
display their oratorical abilities.
The taxpayers of Boundary county
would no doubt appreciate it more
if they would devote their time eX-
planning the necessity of so many
deputies on the county payroll; why
Mr.. Peckenpaugh was paid almost
double the amount Mr.. We'll asked
for the same service; why Bonner
county commissioners allowed a bill
of 500 each to Auditor Stanley and
Assessor Bush which was duly sworn
to and afterwards rescinded, for
their services in helping organize
Boundary county.
These gentlemen would naturally
prefer to divert the minds of the
voter with their oratory in the dis
directly affect the pocket book of
the taxpayers.
The republicans are not averse to
debates but will go a little further
than our democratic friends and sug-
gest questions for debate.
Among the following we believe
may be found many good subjects
which would undoubtedly give OPP
portunity for highly developed ora
tory. Any democrat candidate de-
string to take up this offer will be
accommodated.
Resolved: That the county prose-
cutting attorney be allowed more
money with which to hire stenog-
raphers to handle his private bust
ness correspondence.

TO SAW LOGS
NEXT MONTH
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company Will
Keep Sawmili Running Until Next
Observation-Disclosures Longer
IT Is HARD TO GET ENOUGH LOGS
The Usual Preparations Being Made
For the Winter Season
1T IS HARD TO GET ENOUGH LOGS

A number of reports have been
circulated the past week to the eff
feet that the Bonners Ferry Lum-
hr company would soon shut down
its sawmill for the season. These re-
ports started from the fact that the
mill was closed last Friday owing
to the shortage of saw logs.
r. II. Mccoy, wee president and
general manager OF the company,
Informed the Herald representative
this week that the mill would run
this week that the mill would run
until some time in November al
though it might be impossible to
run steadily on account of the diff
ficulty in securing logs.
The question of whether or not
the mill will run next year is un-
settled although there is at present
no reason to look for a suspension
of the usual operations. 1t is eX-
pected that the usual number of
logging contracts will be let this
LOGGING contracts will lbe left this
winter.
A large drive of logs from Mon
tana points arrived here Sunday
night. Owing to the low stage of
water in the Kotenai river the han
ding of the drive was a serious
matter and it was found impossible
to get many of the logs into the
mill ponds. A crew of men are
now at work bringing down a drive
from McClain's camp west of Troy
Mont.
Logging Superintendent J. w
Stewart has secured the Fitzpatrick
ditcher with which he plans to deep
en- and widen the slough leading to
the log pond. The high water OF
this spring caused to be deposited
in the slough so much mud that il
is now impossible to float the logs
through in several places.

the Boomers Ferry Lumber company

BRING ROBERTS TO SPOKANE
Accused of White Slavery-Lived
Here Last Winter.

Jesse Roberts, who, with his wife,
lived here a few months recently,
was arrested in Boise yesterday on
charge of violation of the Mann
act and is bling brought to Spokane
for hearing. Roberts was appre-
hended after his wife had told her
story to Spokane officials.
She told that she was married to
Roberts at Standpoint, Idaho, four
years ago, when she was but Is
years old, her father giving consent
to the ceremony. After moving to
st. John, Ore, Roberts began to
neglect her and, it is said, was ar
rested for failing to provide for her.
About a year ago when her second
child was born, she told Mr.. Cow
ington, Roberts was convicted in
Portland of living with an immoral
woman.
About five weeks ago, Mrs. Rob-
erts said, her husband took her and
her children from Standpoint to Bon
ners Ferry, Idaho, and with the as
sistance of the landlady of a hotel
there, induced her to enter upon a
life of shame. After a week or
more at Boomers Ferry they came
to Spokane, placed the children in
the care of Mrs. Grove, and, after
operating there in downtown hotels
for a short time, Roberts took her
and another woman, going under the
name of Mrs. Barr, to Bonners Fer
ry and later to Kalispell, Mont,
where the two women entered
disorderly house, she declared.

Edwards is Paroled

District Judge R. N. Dunn was in
the city last Saturday to attend to
the case of the state against Cyrus
Edwards in which the defendant was
charged with grand larceny.
Edwards pleaded guilty and on
account of his age the leniency of
the court was asked.
Judge Dunn decided that there
were extenuating circumstances and
withheld sentence placing Edwards
on parole until he is 81 years of
age. Under the provisions of the
parole young Edwards agrees to re-
port to the sheriff each month, to
continue at work, abstain from the
use of intoxicants and keep out of
bad company.

ALEXANDER
AT STANDPOINT
Charged That Last Legislature Was
Wined and Dined For Six Weeks
No Exceptions
JOLT FOR LAWYER LEGISLATORS
Governor Made a Poor Impression
Among Standpoint Voters

A crowded house greeted Governor
Alexander at his address in Sand
point Monday night, it's true, but
when it is considered that it was a
small house, capable of seating only
200 people, the announcement is not
so staggering. Even at that it re-
quired a band concert in front of
the house to draw the crowd that
he had.
The governor at this time isn't
talking great deal about that mil
lion dollars he was going to save the
state, or of how he went down and
cleaned out the state house from
cellar to garnet; but he has plenty
of other equally ridiculous dope to
serve up-some of it of a character
which must cause those of his own
party to strain at in swallowing.
The governors line of attack in his
against the last legislature. He char
acterized the work of that body. as
"punk"; said the members lay around
Boise for six weeks after their ar
rival before entering upon the work
which they were sent there to do,
and that during that time they
were being "wined and dined." He
made no exception, but simply
punched the entire membership as
worthless, and told the people Of
the state that if they could not
send better men to the legislature
than were found in the last session,
they had better send down some
women. He had some personal mat
tiers to rake up in this connection
also. His message to the Legislature
had not been engrossed in the rec
ords of the lower house, and that
same body had ignored him by adj
jourring without first notifying him
of its intentions, all of which was
contrary to custom and a lack of
courtesy to him. But how all this
attack unon the legislature, demo-
Gratis as well as republicans, could
have any bearing on the issues he
was supposed to discuss, was not
made clear.
The governor makes a strong play
for the sympsthy of the common
people with his calamity bowling,
and succeeds in making it stick with
some who are not familiar with the
tactics, but to those who have lis
tened to his harangue twice or thrice,
it is as sounding brass. His ac-
cusation that the members of the
legislature, a large percentage of
whom are men of temperate habits,
ness at the last session, will surely
get him no votes. If this is the
kind of trash he is peddling all
over the state, the more ne cam
paigns the less support he will have

The Governor, on his last northern
trip, failed to arrange for a speak
ing date in Boundary county. For
various reasons Alexander has been
given chilly receptions IN this dis
trict except on the part oe those
under great political obligations to
him and it is generally known that
to the Governor any lack of atten-
ton is a hitter dose.
