AN IMPORTANT
TOPIC TONIGHT
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS
TO ACT UPON GOVERN
MENT PROPOSAL.

The most important meeting of
the year will be held by the COM
mercial club in the new club rooms
this evening. The chief matter to be
considered is the question of the
drainage of the Kootenai river, and
an important communication from
the United States department of
agriculture, relative to the next move
to be taken, will be read and acted
upon. 1t is hoped that every cit
izen in the vicinity who can possibly
attend will be present in order that
a "rip-snorting" campaign for the
drainage of the valley can be in
itiated at this meeting.
Following is the letter which was
received this week which explains
itself:
Mr.. Frank Bottum, Secretary,
Kootenai Valley Commercial Club
Dear Sir:
We are in receipt of your letter
of June l and was glad to know
that the report upon the drainage
of the Kootenai River Bottoms that
we have submitted to the landowners
in that valley is attracting some
interest. We infer that this interest
is not all expressed in criticism that
is unfavorable. We shall probably
be able to have our Mr.. l.. A. Jones
visit Bonners Ferry and discuss the
various plans with the landowners
and others interested if it is al
all probable that the landowners will
unite and carry out one of the recla
nation plans we have suggested.
The matter of procedure so fan
as it relates to the organization of {
drainage district under the law is
of course, one that the attorney.
would handle. You do not suggest
even an approximate date for sucf
visit from our engineer. Would
this conference be of more value
within the next month or two thar
later in the summer or early fall
1t is uncertain just what date woulC
be most convenient for our engineer
but we would be glad to send oul
representative as nearly as possible
to the time when his visit would
be most effective.
Very truly yours,
p. ST. J. NILSSON,
Chief Engineer.

TO START HAULING ORE SOON
A. Hickman Buys New Horses and
Contracts for Ore Trucking.

A. Hickman, president of the
Idaho Continental Mining company at

Anderson, veterinary surgeon for the
mining company, were in the city

purchase of Is draft horses from
the logging contracting firm of

Guided some of the finest animals
to be found in Northern Idaho and
brought a fancy price.
Mr. Hickman will use the horses
IN hauling ore seven miles from the
mine to the first station where it
will be loaded on auto trucks and
brought to the foothills. The COM
pany will use ten four-horse teams
the remainder of the summer and
until snow falls this fall. Most
of the horses recently bought and
the horses which are now at the
mine are the best animals to be
secured on the market and weigh
1000 and 100 pounds each.
Mr.. Hickman is preparing to
start hauling ore Immediately and
has arranged for several new trucks
which will be BROUGHT from Spokane
and which will work during the haul
ing season on contract.
AS soon as the high water re-
cedes the ore will be brought across
the bottom lands on the Hickman
ranch to the K. V. railway at Port
hill and will be shipped to the
smelter.
The activities at the Idaho Cont
mental mine are being rushed and
the property will be worked full
capacity all season.
