RULES AGAINST
PAYING COSTS
Judge Flynn Rescinds Order Allowing
Assessment of Costs Against Land
in Drainage District No. S
BILL TOTALS LESS THAN 5000
Ruling Affects Expenses Of First Or
ganization Only

Information has been received to
the effect that Judge Flynn has va
Gated the order previously made by
him granting the right to assess
against. the lands of Drainage Dis
trict No. 5 the costs of the organiza-
ton of the district. Attorney c. H.
leighton, who appeared for the COM
missioners of this district when the
matter was being fought in the
courts some months ago, states that
this order only effects the costs ac-
cruing from the first organization
of the district, which was made in
1913. At that time expenses some
what less than 5000 were incurred in
organizing the district, but the fur
therance of the organization was fl
nally dropped at that time when the
law was said to be unconstitutional
by the lower courts. This bill of
expense is all that has now been
passed upon by Judge Flynn, and if
his ruling holds the amount cannot
be collected.
The second or reorganization of
the district, which was taken up
something over a year ago and
eventually passed upon adversely by
the courts, is not affected by this
present ruling. The expenses in
CURED in this latter organization
were much heavier than in the first
one, and while the bill of expenses
has been filed it has not yet been
passed upon by the court.
The organization of the district
was defeated when some of the
propertyholders who would come in
under the proposed district took the
matter into court and made conten-
ton against the formation Of the
district upon the ground that In
dian lands to the amount of 100
acres were comprised in the pro-
posed district. Judge Flynn in va
eating his former order held that
if the Indian lands could not be
forced into the district and assessed
they could not be assessed for the
costs incurred in the formation of
the proposed district and therefore
none of the land could be held for
the indebtedness.

PLAN TO EXPEDITE LABOR
County Commissioners Will Endeavor
to Systematize Work of Office

The new board of county commits
sioners have been devoting most of
their time since organization to
clearing up old business that had
accumulated and have not had much
time to take up new work as yet.
However, they have been discussing
several matters of Importance and
laying plans to take care of the
county's business efficiently.
One plan that is being considered
whereby the work OF the county
can be more readily attended to is
to adopt some method whereby the
various details will be handled in a
systematic manner, with as little
duplication and unnecessary work as
possible. The business transactions
of the county are equal to those of
large corporation and the commits
sioners believe they should be han
died with the same degree of care
fulness and the same systematic,
painstaking detail. They are now
endeavoring to systematic the work
and eliminate waste labor.
Another matter to engage their
attention but upon which nothing
definite has yet been decided, is
that of rearranging the three dis
tricts of the county commissioners.
1t is desired to so divide the county
that each commissioner will have
about the same amount of territory
to look after and the same amount
Of work to perform. This is a more
difficult matter than some might
suppose. Furthermore, a bill has
been introduced into the present leg
islature that provides that hereafter
each commissioner shall be elected
from his own district alone, those
living within a district having the
entire say as to who shall represent
them on the board of county COM
missioners. If this bill becomes law,
it. will be all the more desirable to
have the county divided in such a
manner that all parts Of it will have
representation on the county board.
There is also some demand that
the county be redistricted as regards
election precincts, so that the voters
may cast their ballots more easily
and with less election expense for
the county to pay. This is partic-
ularly true of some of the pre-
cincts in the northern part of the
county.
The commissioners, in addition to
attending to the regular detail of
their offices, are bordering these
matters and undoubtedly will eventu-
! ally take some action on them.

HAVE ORGANIZED TOWN TEAM
Former Stars in Basket Ball Will
Soon Take on Opposing Teams.

A number of the local basket ball
enthusiasts have gotten together and
organized a team which will at
tempt to place heavy and convinc-
ing defeat on all ambitious teams
from surrounding burgs. The mem
bers of this organization have brought
fame to themselves and their home
town on more than one occasion,
having starred in the exciting game
for several years heretofore. 1t is
confidently expected they will con-
tinue to live up to their former
glory.
The lineup will be chosen from
those who prove themselves the most
shllful players among the follow
ing. Stanley Jarvis, John Jarvis
Howard Kent, Eric DeWolf, Leslie
Kent, Martin O'Brien and Curley
Norton. The boys have chosen Coun.
ty Assessor Bush as manager and
he says he is confident that his cas-
sessment" of this team as sure
corners is very conservative. Ar
rangements are being made foi
games with Eureka, Libby and Troy
and perhaps a game with Kalispel
next Friday night.

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN TO VISIT THIS SECTION
Will Show Latest Improved Methods of Remov-
ing StumPs Both by Machinery and Pow
der--Will B. Here April 81

and many of the local commercial
clubs that it is possible to clear our
stump lands and convert them into
profitable farms and do it for a
sum low enough to justify the work;
but to accomplish this the best and
cheapest method must be used. The
demonstrations are to show to the
farmers what is the best method
for their sections, arouse their in
terest and get them thoroughly
started in this most important work
of development. Mr.. Romans stated
that it is realized some of our very
best soil is now made useless on
account of the stumps and if the
country is to develop as it should
this work of land clearing must be
pushed to a real success. That is
the work to be accomplished by this
movement-to lend impetus to the
conversion of stump land into pro-
ductive farms.
One of the many benefits to be
derived from this movement and by
no means the least, is the adver-
Using that will accrue to the COM
munity from an advertising stand
point. Chairman Shively of the To-
CALI committee remarked, in discus
sing TINS matter: Il consider IL one
of the finest things ever planned for
this section. Very probably the train
will have with it a camera man ia
king moving pictures for the theatres
and also full accounts of the trains
work and the trip will be published
in many agricultural and other pub
LEGATIONS. This means that this sec
ton will receive a wonderful amount
of the very best kind of advertising.
The greatest benefit, however, will
be derived from evolving some
scheme whereby the farmers on the
land will be able to successfully
clear their farms"
The local commercial club was
thoroughly impressed with the good
such a demonstration will accomp-
lish and will cooperate enthusiastic
ally in the work A committee to
handle all local arrangements was
appointed by the president, DR.. f.
E. Fry, and consists of H. l.. Shivelv,
chairman; ]. F. McGlocklin and G.
w. Spoerry. They will choose the
tract for the demonstrations and will
look after all details other an
nouncements will be given by the
Herald from week to week.

Commercial Club
Is Becoming Active

The Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club will hold its regular session
tonight in the court house. The
committee on manufacturing has
been doing some good work and will
soon be able to report that all data
relative to the amount of pulp wood
timber, water power, etc.-the data
that would be desired by prospec-
tive builder of a paper mill-has
been gathered and forwarded to the
representative in New York. In for
nation has been gathered from the
national forest officials and others
to the effect that there is sufficient
pulp wood timber tributary to Bon
ners Ferry to keep a mill that con-
sumes 50,000,000 feet year running
20 years. AS a matter of fact few
mills would require that amount, it
is said.
The matter of securing a water
power right on the Moyie has also
been gone into quite extensively but
as yet this has not been brought to
satisfactory conclusion. An option
on a mill site has been secured.
The president of the club has been
authorized to appoint a committee
to investigate what has been &C
complished toward draining the val
ley by the Canadian people, and TO
assist the movement in every way
possible. This committee will be
announced tonight.
The newly appointed judicial COM
mittee consisting of Attorneys Flod
Wilson and Henry have a draft of a
| bill prepared to submit to the club
I tonight which will require that all
sleds be fitted with runners of the
same width as wagons. After be-
ing passed upon by the club the bill
will be forwarded to our represen-
tatives at Boise to be introduced into
the legislature.
President Fry is in receipt of a let
ter from Representative A. j. Kent
asking that the club circulate a pc
tition requesting the appointment OF
a game warden for Boundary county
1t seems that it is the intention al
the capitol to appoint three wardens
for Kootenai, one for Bonner county
but none for Boundary. 1t is be-
lieved that we need a warden here
to protect our game as well as the
other counties, and that the money
going from this county into the
states funds from game licenses is
sufficient to justify US in asking fol
one warden.
The citizens are beginning t.
evince a greater interest in the clul
I and at every meeting there will bt
matters discussed of vital Importance
to the community.

Have Appointed Representative

The mining committee of the
Kootenai Valley Commercial club has
appointed H. w. Kirchoff to rep
resent Boundary county at the mi
ming congress to be held at Spo-
kane beginning February 10. Mr..
Kirchoff is an experienced mining
man, and is we'll acquainted with
the industry in this county. A
better selection could not have been
made. He is taking hold of the
work of collecting the exhibit with
vigor, and desires all prospectors and
those having control of any mine or
prospect in the county to send him
samples and Indignation. Mr.. Kirch-
off is preparing blanks for the tab
ulation of this information and
should receive the enthusiastic sup
port of every citizen. He plans to
see many of the mining men per-
sonally but those that he cannot
reach he hopes will send in their
samples and the information.

New Pumping Station Promised

A. Fl. Featherstone, of Wallace
Idaho, was in the city last week on
business matters connected with his
ownership of the Bonner Water q
Light company.
Mr.. Featherstone states that this
spring his company will invest sew
eral thousand dollars in the con-
struction of a new pumping sta
ton for the Bonners Ferry water
system. The new pumping station
will be constructed of concrete. In.
it will be installed the pump and.
motor which is now in use and also
smaller pump and motor which
may be used in cases of emergency
The Bonner Water & Light COM
pany, stated Mr.. Featherstone, has
been hampered in giving service this
year to its patrons by the fact, that
the water in Myrtle creek is lower
than it has been in eleven years
and it has not furnished sufficient
power for the light system for sew
eral weeks. The slush ice which
gathers in the flume in cold weather
has also bothered to a considerable
extent.

Another Victory For
Basket Ball Team

Friday evening the Bonners Fer
ry high school basket ball team add
ed another victory to their list by
defeating the Standpoint high school
team by a score of % to 80, on the
Standpoint floor.
The contest was exceedingly thrill
but at times rather slow due to the
numerous fouls called on both teams.
Bonners Ferry was the chief Offend
against them to the Sandpointers'
decided handicap on account of the
Bond at forward. Their places were
filled by Luse and Stewart.
The star of the occasion was Stew
art. He exceeded all others in floor
work and scored eighteen of Boomers
goals. Capt. Collins played a con-
sistent game and Mcnamara and
Thomson did very good work in
guarding the fast Standpoint for
wards. The local boys were decided
ly oytweighed, Standpoint having a
very husky team this year.
After the game the boys were
royalty entertained at a dance given
at the rink. The team returned
home on No. feeling more than
proud of the showing made.
Edwin Charles made the trip as
substitute and P. Henry as chief
rooter. The next contest for the
locals will be with Libby at the gym
Friday, February 2.
James Deyoe was appointed road
overseer in his district last Wednes-

ident and Frank Bottum, secretary
treasurer. The loan committee con-
sists of w. w. Branom, James Deyoe
and G. w. Spoerry.
The number of farmers that have
signed applications for loans now
total 81 and the aggregate of the
amount asked for is $63,600. Ac-
cording to the new federal loan act,
it will be necessary for those apply
ing for the above amount of loans
to purchase $3.50 worth of stock of
the federal loan bank soon to be
established at Spokane.

The constitution and bylaws for
the localHassociation have been draft
ed but were not formally adopted
Saturday. The local organization
will be known as the Boundary Coun-
ty National Farm Loan association.
Letters are being received every
day from farmers over the county
who wish to join the association and
it is confidently believed that the
number applying for loans will be
greatly increased before all are ac-
commodated.

that body paid respect to the mem
