Parks to Build New Home

D. w. Parks sold his residence
near Bruce's to Mr.. w. E. Drake,
the jeweler, Tuesday of this week
and has purchased a fine view lot
in Eagle Park addition from G. w.
Spoerry. Mr.. Parks is now rushing
to completion a residence of the
colonial type that will be the equal
of anything in the city. This resi-
dence will cost about $4,000.
1t will overlook the city and valley
and will be directly at the end
of First street which passes by
Judge O'Callaghan's home.
Mr.. Spoerry has also signed a
contract with Mr.. Parks for the con-
struction of a four-foot cement side
walks from Will Kinnear's corner
passing in front of the view lots.
This will be the most alluring and
attractive place in town from both
the standpoint of pleasure and
scenery, passing as it does along
the very crest of the hill from which
the beautiful valley is an ever
changing vista of natural beauty.
Mr.. Spoerry has seven lots re-
naming and he expects to put them
into lawn and plant shade trees on
them to be used by the public until
sold.
Mr.. O'Callaghan has stated that
he will build concrete walks along
his vacant lots connecting with Mr.
Spoerry's, thus making it continu-
Gus to DR.. Reich's residence, who
with others along the street, will
no doubt put them in so as to con-
connect with the contemplated walk
to be built up the hill beginning al
the railroad crossing.
A concrete walk from main street
to Kinnear's residence will seemingly
lessen the distance by half and make
pleasure out of an otherwise la
porous task besides enhancing the
value of property on the hill hun
dreds of dollars.

Campbell Wins Race

Gene Campbell, SON of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. H. Campbell of this city,
was the winner of the all-university
cross country race Wednesday night,
finishing % minutes 80 seconds. Oh
liver Campbell, Genes brother, fol-
lowed a foot behind. The race
would probably have gone to the
older Campbell had not his shoe
been ill-fitting. Campbell stopped
to take it off and ran the last half
of the four and one-half mile dis
lance barefoot. So far the university
record belongs to Oliver Campbell.

The Herald is always anxious to
get the truth of every topic of gen
eral discussion. 1t has no desire to
misle its readers on any subject.
Such tactics are sure to act as a
boomerang. If we find ourselves
in error in any statement or state
ments made we are always ready
to correct them.
Mr.. C. j. Ingram, well known to
the people of Bonners Ferry, is in
a position to know the advantages
and disadvantages of the recently
passed Adamson bill to the railroad
man and to the general public. He
is a railroad man. We are glad
to print the following article from
Mr.. Ingram which goes to prove
that the Herald has been correct
in its contentious that the Adamson
bill is not a measure which provides
for an "eight-hour" working day for
the railway employees and that it is
a measure which will work out to
the detriment of the railway employee
and the general public:
Editor Herald:
We note that democratic press of
the country and the X. V. Times
in particular seem greatly agitated
and worried over Candidate Hughes
position on the so-called eight hour
law recently enacted by congress
and signed by President Wilson and
are trying to make it appear that
Mr.. Hughes is opposing an eight
hour day to railroad men.
We do not know where they get
their information for surely it can
not be shown anywhere by anyone
where Mr.. Hughes has ever been
opposed to the railroad man or any
other class of labor having an eight
hour working day. Don't take any
mans word for it but go and ex-
anime the records for yourself dur
ing the time when he was governor
of the state of New York and you
will find that he recommended and
caused the legislature of that state
to enact and pass an eight-hour law
for laboring men. Then go over
his speeches during the present cam
paign and show me where he has
intimated that he was in any way

NJ. P. DEwoLF is PRESIDENT
w. l.. Kinnear Sells Interest in First
National Bank of Bonners Ferry

Among the many. important bust
ness deals which have been trans
acted in this city the past few
months the most prominent is that
which was consumated last Satur-
day when M. P. DeWolf and his as
sociates purchased the interests of
w. l.. kinnear in the First National
bank of Boomers Ferry. Following
the closing of the deal the board
of directors of the First National
bank elected Mr.. DeWolf the presi-
dent of the institution and elected
A. H. DeWolf and H. f. Storm to
places on the directorate which is
now composed of the following: NJ.
p. DeWolf, C. H. Stein, A. H. De-
Wolf, F. A. Shultis, H. j. Mccoy
and H. E. Storm.
Mr.. Kinnear has made no an
nouncement of his plans for the fu-
ture. He has numerous holdings of
town and farm property which re-
quire a great deal of his attention.
Mr.. Kinnear has been actively iden-
titled with banking institutions in
this city for many years and is re-
garded as one of the most successful
business men of Northern Idaho.
Mr.. DeWolf became engaged in
the banking business in this city a
few years ago when he purchased
an interest in the Farmers & Lum-
Germans State bank with F. A. Shul-
tbs and w. L. Kinnear. The bust
ness of this firm grew and pros
pered and the directorate decided
to change to the national bank sys-
tenn over a year ago.

Western Washington for Hughes

Mrs. Edgar Charles, VINO returneu
this week from Centralia, Wash,
reports that there is a strong Hughes
sentiment on the coast. She tells
that her relatives who are in daily
contact with the men working in the
larger manufacturing and industrial
centers, state that the masses are
for Hughes.
The Hughes sentiment seems to be
growing among the railroad men
also, according to reports coming
from railroad centers. This in spite
of the efforts being made by the
national democratic administration to
make capital of the Adamson bill
and claim for it the merits of the
"eight-hour" day.

Survey Division Yards

c. j. Colgan and F. B. Conway,
surveyors for the Great Northern
railway company, assisted by Art
Zimmerman, commenced last Friday
to make a Typographical survey
of the site recently purchased by
the Great Northern railway for its
freight division yards.
This is the first step to be taken
toward actual work of construction
and it seems very evident that the
rumors will be verified which have
been circulating to the effect that
the Great Northern would begin ac-
fual work this fall.

EXIT ALEXANDER

Alexander's glazing poster
advertising his candidacy for
reelection no longer graces
the side of the building occu-
pied as democratic headquar-
tiers in Boundary county. Dur
ing the hours of dusk the
poster was plastered over
with Wilson publicity and
thereby hangs a tale.
Rumor has it that the own
er of the building, although
a staunch democrat, has every
reason to despise Governor
Alexander, and it was put
up squarely to the democratic
powers that be in this county
that Alexander's poster must
be effaced or the building
vacated.
Hence, we now see Wilson
where once Alexander's vir-
tues were extolled.

Editor News:
Will you please find space in

have just left Kentucky and have
arrived at ny uncle's, R. W.
Dillinghams. This is a very fine
country, the temperature is about
zero and there is a big snow on
the ground. 1t is quite different
from Kentucky. There is no
big hills out here and the wind
has a fair sweep across these
plains.
On this farm where my uncle
lives he informed me that he has
cribbed ten thousand bushels of
corn, and threshed five thousand
five hundred bushels of oats.
will give you some of the
prices of grain, etc., corn is
about SO cents; oats IS cents;
wheat 81 10; potatoes 80 cents.
haven't hired to any man yet,
but think there will be lots of
places where fellow can get
work. The work is different
from the work in Kentucky. 1t
is more regular, but it isn't as
hard. Hands here get from SOS
to $50 month, and the married
men get from $26 to $40 a month.

if this escapes the waste basket
l will try again. l am always
glad to read the News.
