WANTS LAND
Right OF Way Agent Negotiating For
Large Tract of Land East of
Boomers Ferry
MAY MEAN DIVISION POINT HERE.
Rumors Of Several Years Ago Are.
Again Revived

The manor which was first circu-
lated some two years ago to the
effect that the Great Northern rail-
way company planned to make Bon.
ners Ferry a freight division point,
was revived this week when it be-
came known that Ole Skratass, field
right of way agent for the Great
Northern, with headquarters at Mi
not, N. Oak, was in the city and had
been negotiating for some 60 acres
of land east of the city. Mr.. Skra-
tass returned to eastern points with
out closing a deal for the land
wanted Mr. Skratass was not able
to give any animation of the plans
of the Great Northern in regard to
making this city division point.
Railroad gossip has it that if the
Great Northern buys the site con-
templated it will build a roundhouse
at once but will continue to use the
freight division yards at Troy,
Mont, also for some time yet. 9th
er rumors have 1T that the Great
Northern will Immediately use the
proposed yards at Bonners Ferry
on account of the long haul between
Spokane and Troy, Mont.
1t is said that if the Great Nor
thern officials fail to make a salts
factory arrangement for the site east
of the Bonners Ferry Lumber Com
pany yards they will negotiate for a
site west of Boomers Ferry.
Bonners Ferryites are anxiously
awaiting definite news of the plans
of the Great Northern. A freight
division here would mean big pay
roll for the town and increased ac-
tivities in all business lines

TO GRAVEL KOOTENAI STREET
Spokane International Railway
Makes Offer to Town

,pOhdhN iHstihdttOudf hdliMd}
Makes Offer to Town
The Spokane International Rail
way Company has offered to furnish
gravel to the town of Bonners Ferry
with which to fill in and grade Koo-
tenai street for two blocks from
Main street to the Spokane Interna-
tional railway company's station,
provided the town will furnish teams
and men for the work. This offer
was recently made through Travel
ing Freight and Passenger Agent
E. l.. Hanke.
1t is assured that the town council
will accept the offer but probably
not for a couple of months, because
sewer pipe was laid this winter in
Kootenai street and according to
contract the sewer contractors must
keep all streets through which they
lay pipe, in good condition for. 80
days after final inspection and ac-
ceptance of the sewer system. The
railway company will operate it's
gravel train for several months and
the matter may be delayed for two
months in safety.
The offer was brought to the at
tention of the council Tuesday night
by Mr.. Hanke. At this time the
council discussed the matter of ex-
pense and several councilmen fa-
vored the plan of forming a special
improvement district, taking in the
property which would be benefited
by the graveled street, such a dis
trict to pay for the proposed i'm
provement. This matter will be fl
nally disposed of at a later meeting.
Members of the council have re-
Gently heard complaints from several
parts of the city on account of chick
ems being allowed to run in the
streets and over neighboring yards.
1t is proposed to remedy this nui-
sance by an ordinance which will
probably be passed at an adjourned
meeting to be held tomorrow eve
ming.
