]. W. REID BUYS
BRICK BLOCK

An important deal which has been
pending for some time was closed
Saturday when the A. G. Moore brick
block on Main street was purchased
by j. w. Reid, who has conducted
a general merchandise store in this
city for some eight years. The con-
sideration was $4,000, Mr. Reid dis
posing of a 81 foot vacant frontage
on Main street in the deal.
The property acquired by Mr.. Reid
is considered one of the best in Bon
ners Ferry. The frontage is 80 feet
and the lot is 140 feet deep. The
building is strictly modern and when
it was constructed the walls were
built to accommodate two or three
more floors.
Mr.. Reid has leased the building
to Causton Bros, who moved into it
Saturday night.
In the acquiring of additional prop
erty in Boomers Ferry Mr.. Reid
proves that he has faith both in the
present and future prosperity of the
town which he is willing to back
with his money. Although it is one
of the oldest towns of Northern Idaho
Boomers Ferry has never experienced
boom nor yet has it suffered the
setbacks and hardtimes which have
come to many western towns which
have been unwisely exploited. Just
now it seems that the future of Bon
ners Ferry was never brighter. The
numbering industry is booming, the
stock raising industry is coming into
its own, raw lands are being cleared
for cultivation and there is renewed
interest in the mining resources OF
the district.

NOW READY FOR
THE BIG DRIVE
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF
SALE OF SECOND LIBERTY
BOND STARTS CAMPAIGN.
PATRIOTIC MEETING TOMORROW
Luncheon Yesterday In Honor of
State Chairman Davis.

Boundary County's Liberty Loan
Committee begun an active campaign
yesterday and under the direction of
Chairman f. A. Shultis will continue
its work until the close of the big
drive on October 9th. Boundary
county's apportionment of the S10,-
100000 to be raised in Idaho is
100000. The state and county appor-
tionment is made on a basis of bank
deposits.
Yesterday the state chairman, D.
w. Davis, of American Falls, and
H. S. Boone, of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco, were guests
of the county committee and we're
entertained at luncheon at the Grill
which was attended by some 60 local
business men and citizens. Both
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Boone told why
the government was issuing the sec
ond Liberty Loan and urged the
Importance of Boundary county see
ing to it that it's apportionment was
raised promptly. Mr.. Davis stated
that now that the United States was
in war it had to have money and
that if the people did not wish to
respond to the call for money volun-
tarily when the government was will
ing to pay interest on the loan then
the only recourse the government
would have would be to raise money
by direct taxation.
The committee has already had
several responses to the call for
Liberty Loan bonds but the commit
tee realizes that to raise 100000 in
this district will cali for a united
effort of the people and all classes
must subscribe for bonds.
The committee has arranged to
hold a patriotic meeting tomorrow
evening at the X. p hall. An out
of-town speaker will address the
meeting. 1t is possible that the main
address of the evening will be given
by. Hon. Guy H. Martin, of Sand
point.
Miss Jessie M. Hoover, assistant
state food administrator for Idaho,
wired G. w. King, county chairman,
this morning that Edward G. Rosen-
helm, publicity man for the Idaho
Food Administration, will come to this
city tomorrow and that he will adj
dress the gathering at the patriotic
meeting to be held at the K. p.
hall Wednesday evening. Mr.. Rosen-
helm comes here highly recommended
as a speaker.
A good musical program is being
arranged and Chairman Shultis an
nounced last evening that it was
probable that free dance would
be held after the meeting.
The citizens of Bonners Ferry are
urged to attend the meeting. There
will be no charges and no collection

Goes to Reform School

William Sunderland, a fourteen
year-old boy who was picked up in
the Bonner hotel recently by Deputy
Sheriff Callahan, was committed to
the state reform school yesterday
afternoon by Judge Henderson. The
boy will be taken to the school at
st. Anthony today by Deputy Sher-
iff Mcmahon.
Sunderland's parents are in Canada
and seemed to have no disposition
to look after the boy. The lad has
been in bad company and is regarded
as a tough un."
He made two attempts to escape
from the Jail the past week. The
first time he asked Mrs. Snyder
for a drink and attempted to slip
by her out of the kitchen. Yesterday
afternoon, just before Deputy Sheriff
Callahan took the boy to Judge Hen
derson's courtroom, he ducked out
of the Jail office and ran down the
street towards the river. A few
minutes later the boy was found.

LEAVE FOR
CAMP LEWIS

The last men of Boundary coun-
tvs quota of the new national army
left the city Sunday night for Camp
Lewis at Tacoma, Emmett L. Murray
being in charge of the contingent
composed of Fred Peterson and Alec
Fetterley. The fourth member of
the contingent, Charles Zimmerman,
reported from Wallace, Idaho.
Reports were circulated during the
week, to the effect that the county
exemption board was sending Charles
Zimmerman to Camp Lewis ahead
of his turn and that Zimmerman had
not been certified back to the county
board by the district board. The
members of the board state that this
is false and that no member of the
contingent was sent to Camp Lewis
ahead of his turn. There are sew
eral cases in which exemptions have
been asked but which have not been
acted upon by the district board and
until these cases are acted upon the
county board has no authority to
send men seeking exemptions to
Camp Lewis.
DR.. Fry states that the board
expects that two or three more men
may have to be sent to Camp Lewis
to take the places of those who may
be rejected on account of physical
defects. Thus far there have been
no reflections on account of physical
unfitness but the county boards are
instructed to send the men to the
camps when they are in doubt con-
corning physical defects. Also the
county board here has not yet been
reversed on any exemption claim
upon which it has acted.
A large crowd was at the depot
Sunday night to see the last contin-
gent leave and the boys were given
a hearty sendoff. AS with previous
contingents they were presented with
the comfort kits and presents of to-
bacco by the w. c. T. U. and Red
Cross organizations.
John Davidson of Meadow Creek
was a business visitor in the city
Wednesday. Mr.. Davidson has had
great success in the raising OF
thorobred o. l. C. hogs and is now
caring for a herd of 81. One of his
nine months old thorobred sows re-
Gently had litter of nine pigs.

Miss Effie Brock and George Nc
Glocklin were married yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. McGlocklin,
parents of the groom, Rev. G. H.
Wilbur officiating. Only the i'm
mediate relatives of the couple were
present at the wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. McGlocklin left last
evening on a short honeymoon trip
and upon its conclusion they will
make their home at Kellogg, Idaho.
Both the bride and groom are
wellknown in this city and were
popular members of Boomers Ferry's
respected coterie of young folks.
They have the best wishes of hosts
of warm friends in this district.

Use OF ROAD DRACS IS
ECONOMY SAYS MINCKLEY

f. E. Minkley, one of the road
overseers in the Porthill district, has
spent good many years studying
methods of road building and how
to keep them in good shape and the
roads in his district are perhaps the
best kept of any district in the
county although there are several
stretches of road which are on par
with those in the Porthill district.
Mr.. Minkley credits the good condi-
tions of the roads in his district
to the fact that after the last two
rains in June he went over the
roads with a drag. The county COM
missioners objected to the expense
of using road drag but Minkley
insisted and finally got permission
to do the road dragging.
There is really no excuse for the
awful condition of the roads and
bridges in the county if it is true
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1917-10-16

as Mr.. Minkley says, that the good
roads of his district are due to the
use of road drags after the spring
rains. In his contention Mr.. Mink
ley is also backed up by d. G. Nc
Coll, of Moravia, another district
where the roads are in fine shape
comparatively speaking. The cost of
using the road drag is small.
1t isn't up to the roadoverseers
to do the work needed on the roads
unless the work is ordered by the
county commissioners as it is well
known that the commissioners have
stated that no road accounts against
the county will be honored unless
written order is secured first from
the commissioners. 1t is up to our
county commissioners to keep our
roads and bridges in condition for
travel and it is hardly fair to post
pone work of this kind until the
fall of election as was done last year

Arthur Trent Married

"a wellknown citizen of this district
to Mrs. Sarah Wisner, of Thompson
Falls, Mont, occurred last Tuesday

ternational hotel, Rev. G. H. Will
bur, officiating.
The wedding came as a great sur
prise to the many friends of Mr.
Trent and all join in extending their
best wishes to him and his bride.
Mr.. Trent has a well improved
ranch on the north bench where
he has taken his bride to reside
He also owns a cozy cottage on the
Northside which was built this sum-
mer.

Lewis:
"Well, life at Camp Lewis is fine
so far as we have gotten. We ar
rived Friday, Oct. 5, amidst thou
sands of unknown faces, some in
uniforms and others in civilian
clothes. So far we have found no.
body we know and cannot even find
a trace of the other Bonners Ferry
boys. If someone in Boomers will
write their address to US we will
surely appreciate it.
We are in camp with some south
Idaho boys, all unknown to us. We
eat and live in one barrack which is
two stories high. Our meals taste
fine, although such minor things as
butter, milk, etc, we see nothing of

they are. The camp is a mile deer
and l could not say how many miles
long. Anyway if the kaiser Bill
could take an airoplane ride ovel
this camp and see the thousands Of
fighting rockies / think the old boy
would be ready for peace at any
price.
The Boomers Ferry boys wish tC
extend many hearty thanks to the
Red Cross, W. C. T. U. and the peo
pie of Boundary county for the treat
ment given us before our entrain
ment. Our fruit tasted bully, oul
pipes and tobacco bring back memo
ries of dear old Boomers Ferry; oul
kit bags are the best friends we have
and 1 notice we are among the yer!
small percentage of boys here tina
have them.
We have not been here long enough
to know much about the place bu
will let you know more later.
If anyone in this camp wants t.
look us up our home is "2nd Inf. l.

approve. You could tell that by her
eyebrows-they were the only things
that spoke. She ordered the melons and
they were served at breakfast, little
thin, finger slices, about two medium
, sized spoonfuls apiece for each guest.
After breakfast the housekeeper came

weren't served in the best society and.
of course, she couldn't housekeep for
