Rev. Preston to Leave

Last Sunday morning Rev. Hart
L. Preston rendered his resignation
as pastor of the Union church to
take effect the first of October.
Rev. Preston and family plan to
leave in October for California and
Rev. Preston will probably accept
pastorate near San Francisco.
Rev. Preston has been pastor of
the Union church here for nearly
three years. During this time he
and his wife have worked faithfully
ard earnestly for the church and the
general good of the community. The
work they have accomplished has
not gone unapprecisted and Bonners
Ferry feels that in losing Rev. and
Mrs. Preston it is parting with peo-
pie whose presence is an uplift and
whose leadership Is to be most de-
sired. The Herald is glad to join
with Mr.. and Mrs. Preston's friends
in wishing them great success wher-
ever they go.

Is Confident of the Nomination

Senator f. E. Elliott returned
home Saturday evening from a tour
of the southern part of the state in
the interests of his candidacy for
nomination on the republican ticket
ticket as congressman.
Senator Elliott feels that his can
didacy has been well received and
that he has an equal chance with
his opponents to win the nomination.
In southern counties he received sup
port which he had not counted upon.
He has friends working hard for his
nomination in every county.
The Senator left Wednesday for
Standpoint and he will spend a couple
of days in Shoshone, Latah, Bonner
and Kootenai counties in the inter-
ests of his candidacy.
According to reports coming here
from over the state Congressman
McCracken is receiving but little
support in his candidacy for re-elec-
ton and Burton L. French is being
received something in the manner of
guest who has worn out his well
come. In fact Mr.. French has been
given the name of the perennial
candidate" That Senator Elliott will
receive a large vote in Northern Ida
no is a certainty.

TO OPERATE
CREAMERY HERE
E. c. Gale and F. S. Stoos Plan To
Expend 81, 300 For Modern Plant
Manufacture Ice Cream
TO BE COMPLETED OCTOBER lST
Building For Creamery Now Being
MISUNDERSTANDING Ordered

Boomers Ferry is to have a mod
ern, up-to-date creamery which the
promoters say will be in operation
by the first of October.
f. c. Gale and F. S. Stoos are
the proprietors of the new institu-
ton and Mr.. Stoos began work this
morning of remodeling and repairing
the +. c. Gale building on Division
street near the Kootenai river which
is to be used for the creamery.
Orders were placed Wednesday
evening for some S1,S00 worth of
creamery machinery which will also
include an ice cream making ma
chine. This machinery was pur-
chased of the Northwestern Cream
cry Supply Company of Seattle,
through its travelling representative,
j. w. Quinn. The machinery is ex-
pected to be here by the middle of
October.
Mr.. Stoos plans to put the building
which will house the creamery in
the strictest sanitary condition. The
main floor will be of concrete and
the contract for this work has been
let to d. w. Parks. The interior
will be newly boarded and painted.
Messrs. Stoos and Gale feel that
their enterprise should be rewarded
with the entire support of the stock
men of the county. Mr.. Stoos will
have active management of the plant
and mis- experience in this line and
his success in other localities spells
prosperity for the venture. Mr..
Stoos was charge of creameres
in various towns of Illinois before
he came to this locality.
Mr.. Quinn will assist in getting the
creamery here started off nicely.
He has just installed a creamery
equipment at Cottonwood, Idaho, and
one at Weiser, Idaho. He and Mr..
Stoos were friends and worked for
the same creamery supply house in
Chicago years ago. Il

Reduce Railway Valuations

The general levy of the state for
the year 1916 has been fixed at
S550,000 by the state board of equal
ization now in session at Boise. This
is a reduction of $150,000 over the
appropriation of last year. The board
has yet to make two levies, one for
a sinking fund and one for the pub
lie building fund.
In order, it is explained, that rail
roads may be placed on the same
basis of valuation as farm lands and
city property, or 60 per cent, in
Northern Idaho, the board agreed on
5 per cent reductions for the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
roads. The Great Northern valua-
ton last year was S5,34S,030, the
Northern Pacific, S12,230,2S0 and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, ST.
295034 for that portion of their sys-
TENS in the state of Idaho. The )
per cent reductions agreed upon will
result in taking that percentage
from the figures given above. La
tab, Shoshone and Clearwater coun-
ties were given per cent reduc-
ton in timber valuations which was
a further argument in behalf of re-
ducing the valuations of the three
railroads named above, say members
of the hoard

Herbert Wants a Wrestling Match

George Herbert, well known as the
wrestler who figured here last win
ter in several closely contested bouts,
and who has been working the past
year at the Continental mine
near Porthill, has been in the city
the past few days visiting with
friends.
"Blackie" is in fine trim and is
anxious to try out some of his for
mer opponents in the wrestling game.
He has reduced his weight to ZAP
pounds and states that he is ready
and anxious to meet Clair Des
Voignes of this city or Anderson
of Standpoint if they will weigh in at
the rineside at not over 145 pounds
and will put up a side bet of 500.
Blackie says that he will not wres-
tie any more for gate receipts.
Herbert is a good clean wrestler.
He has friends and hackers here
and it is more than probable that
bout can be arranged soon.
