pIRAL CREDITS BILL AND SHIPPING BILL
plssED LAST WEEK BY DEMOCRATIC HOUSE

edness' society in which Con-
gress was denounced for not
appropriating fifteen or twenty
millions for the purchase Of
flying machines for the army
and navy. / presume similar
articles are being distributed
over the country.
Personally, l am earnestly
in favor of investing in airships
as weapons of defense. In my
Judgment many Of us will live
to see a gigantic struggle for
the control of the air. Thelc
is no reason why Yankee in
genuity should not develop
the aeroplane to the point
where it would be impossible
for a hostile fleet of troop ships
to approach our shores.
But | have voted against big
appropriations for airships and
it is time the people were told
the reason why.
NOT ONE AEROPEANE
HAS BEEN MADE IN THIS
COUNTRY, UP TO DATE,
WHICH COULD SUCCESS
FULLY UNDERGO THE TEST
OF WAR CONDITIONS.
All the aeroplanes which
American manufacturers have
shipped to Europe are being
used behind the fighting lines
to train aviators. The airships
which are credited with the
performances which have
thrilled mankind are all of for
eign make.
The weak point in the Amer
lean machine is the engine, and
the engine is the heart of the
aeroplane.
American manufacturers
have been making machines
for exhibition purposes and
have not found it necessary to
concentrate their talents on the
construction of an engine
which will come up to Euro
pean standards.
At this session we will ap-
propriate $1,500,00O for an ex-
perimental laboratory and one
of the first tasks assigned the
experts who will find employ
ment in the laboratory will be
the fashioning of an engine for
aeroplanes which will be the
equal of anything in the world.
In the meantime Congress
will refuse to throw away mil
lions in the purchase Of flying
machines which are incapable
of doing the work expected of
them.

Wilson'S Shipping Bill

wilson SAiPPAA6 LIN
The shipping bill is regarded
as one of the big items on the
administrations program 1t
provides for the investment of
s5O,OOO,OOO of government
funds in merchant ships which
NAV be used in the trade with
South America and other coun-
tries during times of peace and
as naval auxiliaries during
times of war. President Will
son urged the measure in the
last Congress but the Republi-
can majority in the Senate, aid
ed by handful Of Democratic
Senator's, talked it to death.
At that time there were a
great number of fine vessels on
the market which could have
been purchased at Bargain
counter prices. 1t is estimated
that if the President had been
given his way, the government
would have more than doubled
its money because of the in
crease value of the ships, be-
sides forcing reduction in the
outrage eOus trans-oceanic
freight rates.
Thanks to the activities Of
Republican Senator's these mil
lions of profits instead Of going
to the national treasury have
been deposited in the strong
boxes of the shippingtrust.
Prior to the Civil war, the
Stars and Stripes were seen in
every port in the world. To-
DAY, after fifty years of Repub-
llcan rule, practically all
american trade is carried in
foreign bottoms.
Supported by a Republican
IN, NO wonder Congressman
Miller, one of the Republican
members from Pennsylvania,
@id during the debate on the
shipping bill:
This is great business pro-
position which every man who
mas any products to ship to for

@ .urer who wishes to ship his
products to foreign countries is
III Interested in. We have practi

SPRING TERM
CONCLUDED
Verdict for The Defendant Friday in
Case Of Hewitt Against the Bon
ners Ferry Lumber Co.
SAM KING WILL APPEAL CASE
Dunn Gives Decisions favoring Tenn
pleman and Little & Co.

The spring term of the district
court of the Eighth Judicial dis
trict for Boundary county came to a.
close last Saturday, Judge Dunn leav--
ing for Occur d'Alene City, where
he opened the spring term of court
for Kootenai county Monday.
On Saturday Judge Dunn rendered
decision in the case of Temple
man VS.. Woodbury., which had been
heard by him last Thursday. The
plaintiff was allowed S4S25 and in
terest at seven per cent from July
l, 1915. In this case the plaintiff
sued to recover on a COW sold the.
defendant and the defendant brought
in a counter claim. e. NJ. Flood
and H. II. Taylor were attorneys
for the plaintiff.
The case of e. L. Little & Co.,
VS.. Sing Name was also heard Sat-
urday. This was an appeal from
Justice Kings court where the plain
tiffs sued to recover on certain notes
given by the defendant. Judge Dunn
gave a judgment for the plaintiffs
in the sum of $146 with interest
at seven per cent from April l. 1915.
S. E. Henry appeared as attorney
for the plaintiff.
Notice of appeal was filed by the
attorneys for the plaintiff on Mon
day in the case of Sam King against
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.
The case of George Hewett against
the Boomers Ferry Lumber Company
occupied the attention of the court
last Friday. 1t went to the jury
Friday evening and a verdict for the
defendant was returned In this
case the plaintiff asked damages for
injuries he received when he was
thrown from a load of logs while
driving a team for the lumber COM
pany from one of its camps at Port
hill. He claimed that he was hurt
by reason of the negligence of the
lumber company in not repairing
a part of the road over which he
was supposed to haul timber. Can
non & Ferris, of Spokane, were at
torneys for the defendant and O..
j. Bandelin of Standpoint, represented
the plaintig. 1t is understood that
the plaintiff will move for a new
trial.
Judge Dunn will return here about
April II, to hear the case of Ira
Parker and others against Tom
Plunkett and his co-partners, in
which title to mining property near
Copeland is involved.

More Candidates Assured

The republicans of Boundary
county will soon have a full list of
candidates for county offices in the
field, and in some instances there
may be several candidates for the
same Office, although so far this is
true in but one instance, although
no formal announcements have been
made. This week the Herald is in
formed upon good authority that w.
T. James will be a candidate for
nomination on the republican ticket
for county treasurer and that f. B.
Schlette will be a candidate for nom
nation as county assessor. Both
are well and favorably known all
over the county and worthy and well
qualified for the positions they seek.
Mr.. James served as postmaster of
Boomers Ferry for many years and
also as deputy assessor, while Mr..
Schlette has also served for four
terms as deputy assessor in his dis
trict, is justice of the peace of Boul-
der precinct. Both have always taken
an active part in county and state
politics.

Great Profits In Raising
Of Strawberries Here

counties at the Northside school
house.
Mr.. Terrence states that more
than 100 acres will be devoted to
the raising of Strawberries and that
and that if each acre yields only 800
crates in the season it will mean
that the strawberry growers will
get between 100000 and $4,000 for
their products. Under the plan Mr..
Terrence suggests only two varieties
of berries will be grown here-one
an early and one late berry. The
season being later in this district the
Bonners Ferry fruit will find a
ready market otter the Kennewick
and Spokane valley berries have
been disposed of. If the branch of
fee is placed here the organization
will also handle apples and pears
and potatoes, disposing of the fruit
and vegetables in the best markets
available. Mr.. Terrence suggests
that all who are interested in secur-
ing better prices for their products
make it point to get in commu-
nication with him at once and SO
give him a chance to find out what
they plan to raise.

The plan to secure for the Koote-
mai Valley branch of the Spokane
Fruit Growers association is meet
ing with the appreciation of all the
farmers and business men of this
district and w. H. Terrence, who
has been active in promoting the
plan, announced today that he was
positive the farmers and fruit grow
ers of this valley would be able to
meet the requirements of the asso-
ciation-the guarantee of 100 acres
devoted to the raising of strawber-
ries. Mr.. Terrence expects to re-
ceive contracts this week, and upon
receiving them will begin to sign up
the various farmers who see a flu
ture in strawberry raising in this
district.
Definite action in regard to secur-
ing a branch of the Spokane Fruit
Growers association was taken last
Saturday upon the occasion of the
visit here of c. ]. Webb, assistant
manager of the organization. Mr..
Webb addressed a meeting held in
Kent's Offices and also addressed a

and development. Idaho has an area
of approximately $4,000 square miles
with an average of only one family
to the square mile. This calls to
mind that there is lees than one
third of Idaho under private owner
ship. Since coming to Bonncrs Fer
ry, have been told that you have
land suitable for agricultural pur-
poses within few miles of your
city which is not available for set
Element on account of falling within
the limits of the National Forest
Reserve. The Withholding of agri-
cultural land from settlement is an
unfortunate situation. The state is
thereby deprived of the use and
benefits of its lands and the increase
in population resulting from the set
Element of the same. With a proper
use and development of the states
resources and industries, Idaho could
support many times the population
it now has. With the accomplish
ment of these things the taxable
wealth of the state would be mater
tally increased and the tax burden
thereby lessened"

PROVIDES FOR
ASSESSMENT
Congressman Smiths New Bill Will
Prove a Boon to the Reclamation
Plans of Kootenai Valley
ASKS $4,000 APPROPRIATION
Indian Lands May Be Assessed Not
Over $40 Per Acre

Wednesday of this week Repre-
sentative Addison T. Smith intro
duced in the national House Of Rep
resentatives a bill which provides
that a direct appropriation be made
to paw drainage assessments upon
Indian lands in the Kootenai Valley
drainage districts. Mr.. Smith and
Senator Borah hope to get the leg
islation through, either as an
amendment to the Indian appropri-
alton bill or as a separate measure.
Representative Smiths bill pro-
vides that the assessments upon In
dian lands for reclamation purposes
shall not exceed $40 per acre and
that the sum of $4,000 be appropri-
ated out of any money in the treas
urp not otherwise appropriated for
the first four annual assessments,
this sum to be reimbursable from
the rentals of Indian allotments not
to exceed so per- centum of the
amounts received annually or from
any funds belonging to the allottees,
in the discretion of the Secretary
of tht Interior, the later official be-
ing empowered to approve drainage
plans which include Indian lands be-
fore any payments are made.
State Senator E. E.. Elliott was in
strumental in interesting Congress
man Smith and Senator Borah in
the need of special legislation which
would provide for the assessment of
Indian lands in the formation of
drainage districts in Idaho, and fur
nished most Of the data required,
The present bill has been drafted
along lines originally suggested by
Senator Elliott.
The final approval and enactment OF
Congressman Smiths bill will clean
away a difficulty which has long
confronted the successful carrying
out of drainage plans in the Koote-
mai valley At the present time the
drainage commissioners have no le-
gal authority permitting them to
place a similar assessment upon In
dian lands as are placed upon adj
joining lands owned by white people
and the white owners are protesting
against being compelled to pay fol
the improving Of Indian lands.
