knight Breaks Collar Bone

Charles Knight had his collar bone
broken last Friday evening in a pc
culiar manner.
He was hauling a load of wood
down the south river road. The
load of wood was high and there is
a hump in the road on the west
side of the road. under the Spokane
international Railway company's
trestle. Knight was barely able to
stay on the load and escape strik-
ing the timbers at the top of the
trestle on the east side. 1t was
dark and he did not notice the rise
on the west side and as a result he
was pinned between the wood and
the top of the trestle. He consid-
ers himself lucky that he escaped
with only a broken collar bone.

Coroner's Jury Decides Death Caused
BY Pneumonia.

The body of Joe Dunn, the man
who died at Kingsgate last Friday
morning while trying to enter a
refrigerator car, was buried in the
Bonners Ferry. cemetery Monday af-
ternoon.
Coroner Reich held an inquest Sat
urday evening and an autopsy was
held by DR.. E. E. Fry. The cor
oner's jury brought in verdict to
the effect that Dunn's death had
been caused by pntumonia.
Jack Dillon, the partner of Dunn
was released from the custody of
Sheriff Worley. He gave a straight
account of where he had been and
what he had been doing for several
years back. He accounted for hav-
ing in his possession money belong
ing to or in the name of Joe Dunn
by stating that he and Dunn hao
agreed that if either. should ever
meet with an accident in beating
their way about the country the
other should have his partners mo-
ney. Dillon had some $315 on his
person in currency, drafts and bank
deposit receipts. He left Tuesday
for Spokane.
Dillon told here that he and Dunn
had been travelling together for sew
eral years and that they made {
business of picking up hides, anC
junk which were sold in Spokane.
Undertaken Moore was unable t.
secure any clue to the whereabout'
of relatives of Dunn. He learned
that parents of Dunn lived at Ro
chester, N. Y, about two years ago

made close study of high water
conditions along the Kootenai river
and engineers state that if it had
not been for the diversion of the
river above Fort Steel and the work
done to improve the channel at Proc
ter, the overflow at Bonners Ferry
this spring would have been six feet
higher. Such an increase in the
overflow would have undoubtedly
washed away a greater part of the
city, as the current at this point is
very swift during the high water
period.
The matter of draining the Koote-
mai valley was first taken up about
is years ago. Quite active steps
were taken about six years ago.
The best drainage experts in the
world have been brought to pass
opinions on the feasibility of the
project. At first it was thought
that complete drainage might be Sc
cured by dyl1ing and drainage i'm
provement districts were formed for
this purpose. The work was held
up time and time again by legal
technicalities. Five years ago the
people of the Canadian side and the
people of the Idaho side decided
that in accordance with their engi-
lneers the most practical scheme
was the widening of the Kootenai
Narrows at the head of Kootenai
lake in British Columbia. To do
this a compact was necessary be-
tween the Canadian and United
States governments. Just at the
time the war broke out the chances
seemed good that the treaty wanted
would be rushed through.
The drainage of the Kootenai val
ley is undoubtedly a project of i'm
mensity. The bottom lands along the
banks of the Kootenai river are tn,
most fertile in the world, not ex
cepting the soil of the Nile river
valley, say soil experts. These land!
now raise on the average of $2(
worth of hay to the acre each year
Two years ago when there was but
little high water many acres of bot
tom land were plowed for the frs
time and seeded to oats and wheat
etc. Immense crops were harvested
Experts claim that the soil of tn,
bottom lands of the Kootenai vale,
will raise crops which will net thu
owner $50 to the acre. The com
plcte drainage of the valley in thu
United States and Canada would, a
a most conservative estimate, meal
an increase in crops to the amour
of $3,OOO,OOO.
1t has been figured that the worl
of draining the Kootenai Vale,
would cost in the neighborhood o
81, 100000.
