phatc the citizen of Augusta can make at this
time to the question what are you going to do

The ideal of clean politics inspired Mr.. Thompson's
selection by the Democratic caucus, and was cond-

Plenty of Candidates

From all present indications there
will no dearth of candidates at the
coming primary election. A. Gud-
baur, of the Round Prairie district,
has joined the ranks of the avowed
candidates and this week made the
formal announcement of his candi-
dacy for nomination on the repub-
lican ticket for commissioner of the
second district. w. w. Brannon is
said to be considering the advisa-
bility of becoming a candidate for
commissioner and it is understood
that D. P. Dayton may also become
a candidate.
Oliver H. Campbell's friends have
been urging him to become a candi-
date for nomination as county treas
urer and he may decide to get into
the race.
There are a number of others who
have been mentioned as possible can
didates for Office and there is likely
to be a lively campaign in Boundary
county this fall.

Must Have Boosters
For Civic League

An effort will be made to form a
Civic League in Boomers Ferry on
Saturday afternoon, April Sth, at
a meeting which will be held at
Kent's hall at 9:15 p. m. Every
woman in Boomers Ferry who would
like to assist in the beautifying of
Boomers Ferry and who has any
plan or suggestions to make along
this line and who can possibly fore
go household duties at the time, is
urged to attend.
Any attempt to organize in the
effort to improve ones home town
is commendable and should be en-
couraged and should call forth the
united cooperation of every resi-
dent whether a property owner or
not. Naturally the property owner
should be more vitality interested
as the beautifying of his or his
reighbors property enhances the
value of all adjacent homes, slim
ulates further effort and attracts
the tourists and those looking for
new homes.

Honor Mrs. Sarah Rosebaugh

Mrs. Sarah Rosebaugh was most
pleasantly surprised by a company
of her friends last Saturday after
noon who gathered at her home
to spend a few social hours in honor
of the 10th anniversary of Mrs.
Rosebaugh's birthday. The surprise
party was planned and carried out
by Mrs. w. o. Rosebaugh, Mrs. H.
A. Gale and Mrs. o. F. Howe.
A guessing contest formed one of
the principal amusements of the af-
ternoon, Mrs. Cave winning the prize.
A dainty lunch was served at five
o'clock.
Before departing for their home
Mrs. Rosebaugh's friends presented
her with a set of sterling silver
tea spoons and a number of potted
plants in token of their love and
esteem for her, all joining in wish
ing her many happy returns of the
day.

Des Voignes Winner Again

The wrestling match held We'd
nesday night at Kent's hall between
Chris Gesek, of Spokane, and Clair
Des Voignes, of Bonners Ferry, was
won by Des Voignes, Gesek failing
to throw Des Voignes three times
in an hour according to the terms of
the match.
The match was not well attended
but those who witnessed it claim it
was one of the best ever held here.
Gesek won the first fall in 20 min
utes and the second in three min
utes and twenty-five seconds. The
clever Spokane boy was unable to
pin Des Voignes' shoulders to the
mat for the third fall within the
time limit although he appeared to
be exerting all his energies. In the
last few minutes of the match Ge-
SEX secured a toe hold and worked
with it for four minutes. Des
Voignes suffered a great deal of
punishment but refused to give in.
The grit and increasing cleverness
of the home wrestler won many new
friends for him.

MRS. JOHN S. FOLGER is DEAD
Mother of Mrs. Byron Walker Passed
Away Yesterday Morning

The funeral of Mrs. John S. Fol-

daughter, Mrs. Byron H. Walker,
yesterday morning, will be held i'm

and is survived by her husband, a
daughter, Mrs. Byron Walker, a son,
Roscoe Folger, and a niece, Mrs

thetic friend of all those with whom
she met.

The identifying of Boomers Ferry
does not call for great expenditures
OF money. Merely the clearing away
of old rubbish, the care of lawns,
the parking of streets. the repairing
Of fences, the application of a little
paint would work wonders. These
are some of the first details to be
attended to; the filling of gulches,
better grading, the parking of the
river bank would follow.
The effort to improve our town
must be universal; hearty co-opera-
ton is necessary; active work on the
part of each and every individual
is required. We should awake to our
opportunity and work to our mu-
tual advantage if we would make
our home town a community of
which we will be proud.
Recognizing the motives which have
prompted the calling of the mass
meeting for tomorrow afternoon the
Herald is glad to voice its approval
and urge the attendance of every
citizen who is interested in Big
ger, Better Boomers Ferry"

d. w. Davis Makes
Formal Announcement

D. w. Davis, of American Falls,
made formal announcement on We'd
nesday of this week of his candi-
dacy for nomination on the repub-
lican ticket as governor.
In making his announcement Mr.
Davis had the following to say:
Il believe that the duties of a
public servant are not restricted to
advocacy of the things contained
in a platform, but extend to all
things that are for the public good
1 feel that every candidate should
have SOM thing to offer the public
to justify the support he asks. To
be content with declarations for law
enforcement, economy, business adj
ministration of the states affairs
and for a high standard of public
service is not enough. All good
citizens favor these things, and no
candidate is worthy of support who
does not favor them. Commendable
as they are, they alone will not
bring relief to the people of the
state.
There are certain policies which
believe to be of overshadowing i'm
portance, and if elected l will earn
estly urge their adoption. Among
these are:

VIII Not Move Indians

According to word received from
Congressman Addison T. Smith and
Congressman Robert NJ. McCracken
this week there will be no effort
made to have the Kootenai Valley
Indians removed to the Colville or
any other Indian reservation. An
effort will be made, however, to
secure the proper recognition of the
Kootenai Indians and obtain for them
some of the advantages the Indians
of the reservations enjoy and to
which they are justly entitled.

MANY RUMORS
BEING PASSED
Boomers Ferry Citizens Are Anxious 10
See the Great Northern Freight
Division Come Here
VARIOUS REPORTS NOT VERIFIED
Action Said to Hinge Upon the Eight
Hour Law

The report published in the Spo-
kane Chronicle Monday that Ole
Skratass, right of way agent for
the Great Northern railway, had told
that Bonners Ferry would be made
a freight division point for the Great
Northern railway company, has
caused great deal of jubilancy on
the part of Bonners Ferry citizens
this week, although it has been i'm
possible to verify the report from
Great Northern officials. Up to the
present time the Great Northern
railway company has made no deal
for any acreage about Bonners
Ferry.
According to rumors circulated the
first of the week the Great Northern
had bought ground for a division
point at Rexford Mont. 1t is now
learned that prices were given on a
site at Rexford and that the Great
Northern officials had stated that
the price was all right but no OPP
ton was taken and no deal made.
1t was also rumored that the Great
Northern had taken an option on a
strip of some 10 acres of land near
Libby, Mont, and that the city coun
ell of Libby had thrown this land
out of the city limits, it being the
plan of the Great Northern, accord
ing to this rumor, to put in extra
yards at Standpoint and at Libby and
continue to use its division points
at Troy and Whitefsh.
The fact that railway employees
all over the country are asking for
an eight hour law and are asking
for time and a half for all work
over eight hours is said to be the
reason the Great Northern railway
company is looking for new division
sites. People in position to know
the facts believe that the Great Nor
thern will close no deals for division
sites until after the matter of the
eight hour law has been settled.

INCIL ARGUES DRAINAGE
j. w. Reid Elected To Fill Vacancy
ON the Village Board.

At the meeting of the town coun-
ell held Tuesday night j. w. Reid
was elected a member of the board
to fill the vacancy caused by the
G. A. Elliotts' removal from the
city.
At this meeting the matter of pro-
viding an adequate drainage of spring
and surface water along Main street
of Eaton on the schoolhouse hill,
was taken up and thoroughly dis
cussed.
Under the present conditions fills
on private property and in the
street are washed out each spring
by spring and surface water despite
the fact that two wooden culverts
have been placed through private
property and on the street to care
for the water. Property owners de-
sire to have the course of drainage
changed so that the water will be
carried directly to the Kootenai river
along Alturas avenue. The town
board figured that this change would
cost too much money and it now
proposes to have the residents Of
the district affected TO form special
improvement district, such district
to make the required improvement
and the town agreeing to pay sucl
sum toward the work as would
be required to repair the presen
wooden culverts. The board ad
journed until Thursday evening wher
the city attorney will advise upoI
the legality of proceedings proposed
and definite action will be taken.
