The career Of Marie Doro who is
playing In Hearts Desire" Famous
Players-Paramount picture, at the
Murrette Theatre today and Tuesday,
has been an exceptionally picturesque
one. From her Introduction to the
screen by the Famous Players in 1.-THE
Morals, OF Marcus" in which she had
created q veritable sensation on the
stage, each succeeding picture has out
done its predecessor in popularity
until at present she is one of the most
popular stars Of screendom. There
are several reasons for this phenome-
nal success but chiefly the fact of her
own personal charm and previous ex-
perience. There are certain "Doro
mannerisms" which, try as they may,
no other actresses have ever been able
to duplicate. and which have SO en-
deared Miss Doro to the hearts Of her
audiences since her first picture Miss
Doro Is at her brilliant best in this
quaintest Of photoplays, Hearts De-
sire" Don't miss It.!

On The Boards

Common Clay" the Offering select
ed by Manager Murray for the second
week of the Murray Theatre Players,
is an entirely new idea in play writ
ing. The author, Cleaves Knkade,
was at the time of the writing a Har-
ward student. He wrote the play in
competition with several hundred
others for prize. The play was first
produced for one week in Boston.
The success Of this modern drama
was SO instantaneous that A. H.
Woods, one of Americas foremost
producers, secured it Immediately for
run on Broadway, with Jane Cowl
and John Mason in the featured parts.
The play ran there for solid year
to capacity houses. Mr.. Murray went
directly to New York to secure this
great dramatic success. Richmond

Agricultural Students Home

On account of the fact that so
many students of the state agricul-
tural college are being called home
to assist in getting in the crops
and that others are leaving to en-
list with the navy or army, the uni
versity faculty at Moscow has agreed
to allow all students to leave who
are called and will allow them full
credits for the remaining term of
college Oliver and Gene Campbell
came home Sunday and Lester Plato
will return in about a week. Oliver
Campbell is in his junior year at
the state agricultural college. He
states that nearly half of the stu
dents have left the college already.
This is largely due to the fact. that
it is almost impossible to secure
farm laborers and the boys are there
fore badly needed at their homes.
In southern Idaho, it is claimed that
farm hands are being offered $50
month and their board and that
even this fancy wage does not at
tract many farm hands.

Last Tuesday night at the meeting
of the Commercial club a committee
composed of Messrs. Storm, Cowen
and Wade was appointed to work out
a plan whereby the recent offer of
President F. w. Anderson, of the
First State bank, might be accepted
Mr.. Anderson offered to pay for
advertising of lands in the Kootenai

ing the club would attend to an
swering correspondence.
The committee has asked for rates
from many we'll known farm jour
proceed at once to secure farm list
ings from real estate men and own
ers. When the listings are secured
they will be turned over to mer
with a knowledge of land values and
these men will be asked to satisfy
themselves that all statements made
are correct and not misleading an6
that the land is worth all that is
asked for it and that the terms are
reasonable, otherwise the listings will
not be sent out.
The committee plans to start work

County Commissioners May Soon
Submit to a Vote S7O,OOO.OO
Road Building Bond Issue

The matter of bonding the county
and using the money so obtained to
build permanent trunk lines is a
question being generally talked
of in many districts and particular
ly Boomers Ferry. Last Tuesday
night the matter was discussed at
the meeting of the Kootenai Valley
Commercial club after the subject
had been opened by Chairman Brown
of the Good Roads committee.
1t was stated that the county COM
missioners were seriously considering
the advisability of submitting bond
issue to a vote of the people mas
much as it is probable that by APP
propriating money at this time it
would be possible to get assistance in
the sum of $4,000 each from the
state and forestry department. The
commissioners are now in CORES
pondence with officials of the state
highway commission to ascertain
whether or not Boundary county
could expect to get financial assist
ance at once in case the proposed
bond issue carried and it were pos
sible for the county to appropriate
enough money to meet the require
ments which are made concerning
state and forestry appropriations for
road construction.
Mr.. Brown states that his COM
mittee favors a bond issue of from

ELECT ENTIRE
new BOARD
NO GREAT INTEREST TAKEN IN
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
HELD LAST TUESDAY.
SIMONDS GETS HIGHEST VOTE
New Officers Will Take Charge
Next Tuesday.

The election of a new board of vii
lage trustees to serve for the coming
two years passed off quietly last
Tuesday and the vote polled was not
nearly as large as might have been
expected considering that two tickets
were in the field.
C. D. Simonds was the favorite
nominee and was given 1853 votes. S.
E. Henry ran second with 1853 votes.
]. r. Meeker received 1872 votes, H.
E. Storm received las and r. Z.
Clapp 1873.
The new members of the board will
meet next Tuesday to take their
oaths and formally assume the re-
sponsibilties of their offices.
Everyone seems we'll satisfied over
the result of the election. All the
members of the new board are prop
erty owners, are men who are re-
spected in the community and who
are making successes of their private
business interests. Each part of the
city is represented by a member OF
the newly elected board. Mr.. Simonds
lis a resident of the Northside, Mr..
Clapp a resident of the south bench,
Mr.. Henry resident of the east flat
Mr.. Storm a resident of the school
house hill district and Mr.. Meeker a
resident of west Boomers Ferry.
In their prediction platform all
the members of the new board have
given their views on various matters
of public interest and it is assured
that a program of improvements will
be carried out during the next two
years. If they are to be successful
in their efforts they must be accord
ed the interest and cooperation OF
every citizen. In past years petty
jealousies and knocking have done
much to hinder the growth of the city
and it is time for such things to
stop. For their common good the
citizens of Bonners Ferry must aid
and assist the new board Of trustees
in what will be their efforts to make
Bonners Ferry bigger and better"

100000 to $4,000 which, added to
the state and government appropria-
ton, it is figured, would be suf-
ficient " construct permanent trunk
roads from the Montana line west
to the Bonner county line and from
Bonners Ferry to Porthill. 1t was
figured that such an appropriation
would mean that the owner of the
average ranch would have to pay
between So and SO a year in ad-
ditional taxes which would be a
small sum when the benefits of good
roads is considered and when it is
also certain that when once built
the upkeep would be very small. 1t
is estimated that with the present
roads it costs about $4,000 a year
for maintenance. If the main roads
were built in a permanent manner
the larger share of this $4,000
could be used in the construction
of new connecting roads. Then if
the main roads are put in such a
shape as to meet the states re-
quirements it would take them over
and maintain them without expense
to the county.
The county commissioners have
gone into the matter of selling the
proposed bond issue and have a
standing offer for bonds at five
per cent, running 20 years with the
privilege of paying off after ten
years.

o. F. Howe Returns Home

o. F. Howe and family returned
last Wednesday from Spokane where
Mr.. Howe completed a post gradu-
ate course in optometry. Before re-
turning to Bonners Ferry Mr.. Howe
took the Idaho State examination for
optromists.
For a good many years Mr.. Howe
has been making a speciality of scien-
tific methods of eye testing and eye
glass fitting and now that he has
perfected his study and investiga-
tons he plans to install new instru-
ments and equip a model parlor and
work-room for optomistric work. In
the near future Mr.. Howe will in
stall a grinding machine in order
that he may make lenses in his own
shop. Mr.. Howe carries high recon-
mendations from the leading optrom-
lists of Washington and Idaho who
are not slow to say that he is we'll
able to care for the most complicated
work and that his ability in testing
and fitting is all that could be de-
sired.

c. D. SIMONDS
WILL BUILD
WILL ERECT MODERN BRICK
BUILDING-SITE OPPOSITE
. FIRST NATIONAL BANK

Another new brick business block
will be constructed on Main street of
Bonners Ferry this summer accord
ing to the announcement made by c.
D. Simonds yesterday when he in
formed the Herald representative
that he expected to begin in a few
weeks the work of excavating on his
lot north of the Enterprise building,
preparatory to the building of a new
home for his drug business. The
building will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
A frame building now occupies the
site where the new brick will be
erected and this will be moved as
soon as the tenants, Myers and Carl
son, can find a new location for their
cigar and soft drink business.
The new building will have front
age of 25 feet on Main street and will
have a depth Of 100 feet. Mr. ST.
monds has not fully decided whether
or not he will construct a one or two
story building at this time. The
front will be pressed brick and will
carry full French plate glass display
windows while there will be an eight
foot display window on the Bonner
street side of the building,
Actual construction work will be
started about the middle of June
and Mr.. Simonds figures on being
installed in his new business home
by about August LIST.
The building will be steam heated
and will be modern in every respect
The interior will be finished in OAK
to match the show cases and walls
cases which Mr.. Simonds purchased
last summer.
When the new building is com
pleted and Mr. Simonds has installed
in it his modern equipment and up
to-date stock of drugs and drug sun
dries he will have one Of the finest
drug stores of Northern Idaho and {
business home which will be a credit
to Boomers Ferry.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN SUCCESS
Citizens of Bonners Ferry Unite In
Effort To Have "City Beautiful

The Cleanup campaign last week
inaugurated by the city council and
Civic League was a splendid success.
Residents and business people en-
tered into the task of renovating
their premises and clearing away
accumulated rubbish with a hearth
ness and thoroughness that was good
to see. By the latter part of the
week the population had become
thoroughly infected with the cleanup
spirit and the campaign became a
veritable crusade, bonfires burning
in every direction and everywhere
people busy with rakes and shovels.
AS a result the city already presents
"a greatly improved appearance; there
are still some spots where rubbish
was too damp to burn and a few
premises which have not yet received
attention, these doubtless will be at
tended to this week and our little city
will soon be as spick and span as one
could wish.
The ladies of the Civic League
state that the willingness shown to
help and cooperate with them was a
great factor in making the campaign
successful; various members of the
League canvassed the city to arouse
interest, the local newspapers lent
their columns to spread the gospel
of cleanliness and sanitation, mer-
chants decorated their windows APP
propriate to the week, the Amazon
theatre ran a slide announcing the
campaign. the teachers gave instruc-
tons to the school children regarding
the Importance of the work and on
Saturday the council provided teams
to haul away the rubbish at the city's
expense.
The ladies doing active outside
work to promote the campaign were
Mesdames SHUTS, Macdonald, Elder
George Causton. Richardson. Med
bury, Lozier. Richardson, Walker
Mcnamara, Wilson, Boileau, Stoos
and Gale.
