but Mr.. Hart notified those that were
booming him that under no circum-
stances would he accept the nomina-
ton. or endorsement. There are a

American Falls, Captain E. G. Davis
of Boise, Fred Gooding of Cooling

M. Haines of Boise and Wilfred Gift
ford of st. Maries. When the meet
ing was first preached it was tent
atively decided to endorse a mar
fro mnorthern Idaho for the CUB
ernatorial nomination but last night
matters took a sudden turn and it i:
said the fight is between Mr.. Davis
and Mr.. Gooding, brother of form
err Governor Frank r. Gooding.
"There will also be considered re
publican nominations for all STATE
offices. While there was few names
being mentioned for secretary o.
state and treasurer, yet it is reported
that the republicans from Idaho will
name ]. H. Peterson as candidate TO
attorney general. He is serving hi
second term in that Office.
"Peter G. Johnson of Blackfoot
who for many years has representa-
his county in the lower house of tn
legislature of Idaho, will, it is pre-
dicted, be Endorsed for congress iron
southern Idaho. The Office is nov
held by Addison T. Smith of Twi

SNOW IS A
HINDRANCE
Losgers Output This Winter Will Be
Small on Account Of Adverse
Weather Conditions
WILL LOG TWENTY MILLION FEET
The Boomers Ferry Lumber Company
Has Many Contracts Let

The Boomers Ferry Lumber COM
panv has a crew of rs men at work
at the Cow Creek camp few miles
east of town. The heavy snow is a
hindrance but logging Superlnten-
dent Stewart figures that the camp
will turn out over two and half
million feet of logs this winter
At the Cow Creek camp one may
witness an unusual sight when log
cling sleighs loaded with huge tim
bers are lowered down a steep in
cline 1900 feet. The logs are loaded
in the woods about three-quarters Of
a mile from the brow of the hill.
At the top of the hill the sleds
are run on tracks and attached to an
inch steel cable and sled and load is
then lowered to the landing below
where other teams are hitched on
and the load hauled to the mill
slough. The entire haul will average
about three miles. Jack Armstrong
is foreman of the Cow Creek camp
Logging Supt. Stewart states that
other camps will be operated as soon
as the snow leaves in the spring
The Boomers Ferry Lumber company
will probably get out 20,0OO,OOO feet
of logs this winter through its con-
tractors and it's own camp. The COM
pany now has contractors at work IN
several parts of Montana and the
logs gotten out will be fioated down
the Kootenai river as usual during
the high water period next spring

logging contracts for the Boomers

same Office as a democrat this year.
Mr.. Van Deusen with C. o. Broxon,
candidate for state treasurer, put up
the principal part of the progressive
campaign fight in 1914. Mr.. Broxon
is now one of the official family of
the democratic governor of the state
The democratic contingent of the
progressive party is losing no time
in getting back to natural affiliations.
Along the same line of political trend
it is to be noted that the national
progressive party has called its ma
tional convention to meet at the same
time and in the same city as the
national republican convention. A
straight-out, old fashioned fight be-
tween the democrats and the republi-
cans seems certain this year.
Automobiles are proving juicy
source of revenue in the state of Ida
no. Secretary of State George R.
Barker, reports the collection of
$121, 587 from that source for the
year 1915 as against $58,579.75 in
1914. Three or four years ago the
tax revenue from automobiles was an
insignificant sum. Today this pro-
perty is one of the big revenue pro-
ducers of the state. 1t amounts to a
sum nearly equal to one-fourth OF
the amount of taxes levied directly
by the state for state purposes, but
it is not used for general expenses
Under the present law two-thirds OF
the amount collected goes to the
counties for highway purposes anc
the other one-third goes into the
state highway fund. The auto own.
ers of the state pay a snug sum di
rectly for good roads, the tota
amount, or 1921 ,5S7 in addition t
their other taxes for similar pur
poses.
The number of machines registered
in 1915 was 1899, against 3,742 il
1914. 1t is expected that the mum
Der will go to 10000 this year.
Although the new highway Law
doubled the amount of clerical worl
in that department of the secretar-
of states Office without any addition
al appropriation to take care of il
Secretary Barker has taken care o
the increased business without an
addition Of clerical help. This he wa
able to do owing to the efficiency o
new systems to cut down the clerica
work.
The revenue collected through tn
Office of the secretary of state is no'
one of the big factors in the state
financial system. The fees, the COZ
poration tax, and the automobile i
censes run up into the hundreds c
thousands, and Secretary Barker cor
ducts the Office with the same nun
Der of assistants that were employe
when the amount of business trans
!, J acted was much less.

NO CONTEST FEATURE HELD
Important Ruling of Supreme Court
in Life Insurance Case


Word has been received from the
clerk of the supreme court of the
affirmance by the supreme court of
the case of Gertrude Duvall VS.. Ma
tional Life Insurance company of
Butte, Mont. The company issued a
policy of insurance on the life of
Mrs. Duvall's husband, Dec. 1913.
Mr.. Duvall died in March, 1914. The
company declined to pay the loss,
claiming that mis-statements were
made by Mr.. Duvall in his medical
examination. The policy contained
the clause making it "incontestable"
from its date except for non-payment
of premium. Mrs. Duvall, the benef-
ciary in the policy, brought suit to
recover the amount thereof and the
company sought to defend because of
such mis-statements. Judge Dunn of
the district court rendered judgment
in Mrs. Duvall's favor, and the SUI
preme court sustains the decision.
The decision is of great Importance
to all persons holding life insurance
policies with similar clauses, because
it established the rule in this state
that where the policy is made incon-
testable it is in fact so.
Attorey G. H. Martin of Sand
point represented Mrs. Duvall and
Attorney H. H. Taylor represented
the insurance company.

kALISPELL AN EASY VICTIM
Local High School Basketball Team
Plays Brilliant Game Saturday

The Boomers Ferry High school
basket ball team more than demon
strated its right to the title of
champions of North Idaho and
Western Montana" when it defeated
by the decisive score of 81 to the
supposedly crack team from the high
school of Kalispell, Mont, at the
local high school gym last Satur-
day night.
Kalispell was one of the few teams
that defeated Bonners Ferry last
year, the game having been played
at Kalispell when the score was %
to 81.
When the Kalispell five appeared
on the floor for practice before the
game Saturday night, local fans
might have been pardoned if they
felt that the home boys were proba-
bly, due for a good trimming. The
visitors were husky looking bunch.
Somehow they gave the impression
that they were there to walk off with
all the honors. If they ever enter
tanned such an idea they must have
lost it within a very few seconds af-
ter the game started. Johnston was
fiend at guard and if the visitors
managed to get a play past John
ston they were sure to find Mac
namara in the road. The guarding
of Johnston and Mcnamara in the
Saturday night game was as near
perfect as one could ask for. Kent
and Loughney, as forwards, were fast
and clever and with the aid of Bangs
the steady, reliable Boomers Ferry
center, worked the ball to and into
the home goal with machine-like pre-
cision. The Bonners Ferry boys were
too speedy, too clever for the Wis
iting team. After the first few min
utes of the game the home team
began to pile up the scores. At the
end Of the first half which was
played almost entirely around the
Bonners Ferry goal, the score was
10 to 6. In the second half the Kali
ispell boys played a purely defensive
game but in spite of this fact the
home boys made IA scores. The game
was refereed to the entire satisfac
ton Of both sides by j. E. Carlson
