TRUSTEES WORK
ON new BUDGET
NOT YET THROUGH AND SOAPS
ALREADY APPROPRIATED
SEWER NEEDS REPAIRS.
ASSESSED VALUATION, $5O3,SS6
Trustees Want Dixie, Better Streets,
Better Fire Protection.

Thursday evening the members of
the town board of trustees spent
several hours in the effort to dis
cover how much money should be
raised for the purpose of conducting
the business of Bonners Ferry for
the coming year and to provide for
a number of needed improvements.
When the trustees adjourned a bud
get calling for the raising of S6425
was agreed upon but no provision
had been made for money with which
to pay for the balance due on the
sewer or for sewer repair work.
The fire department came in for
a generous allowance-$800. Last
year the appropriation was $500 but
only $1S6 was used. This year the
department will need new hose and
something will have to be done to-
ward giving the Northside adequate
fire protection.
The street and alley fund last
year was $1,000 and the old board of
trustees spent $780, The appropri-
alton this year is placed at $500,
the trustees being DESTROYS of trying
to improve many of the main thor
oughfares which are in bad shape.
Last year the board appropriated
.S1400 for salaries and spent $1,000.
The budget for the coming year
calls for $500 for salaries.
This year the trustees hope to re-
wise the village ordinances and to
compile the same in book form and
the printing fund is therefore in
creased from $3.50, last years ap-
preparation, to 1925. Last year 1853
was spent for printing and publish
ing.
The appropriation for power and
street lighting was increased from
500 to $500 in view of the fact that
this year the town will have to con-
tract with the Bonner Water &
Light company for power for the
operation of the motor at the septic
tank of the sewer system.
The emergency fund has been fixed
at $500 which is $3.50 more than
was appropriated last year. Out of
this fund it is proposed to pay for
all dixie improvements which are now
being planned and which may be
carried out in the near future.
The trustees are now trying to
get figures on what it will cost to
repair the sewer and put it in first
class condition and when these fig
ures are available the budget for
the coming year will be completed
The assessed valuation of Boomers
Ferry is $5O3,S86. Last year the
town levy was II miles and this
levy raised the sum of S6446.

MUST FACE
SERIOUS CHARGE
YOUNG MAN ARRESTED
FOR BREAKING INTO THE
G. N. WAREHOUSE.

Reford Brown was arrested Fri
day night by Great Northern Spe-
cial Agent Cody on the charge of
breaking into the warehouse of the
local Great Northern station.
Saturday a charge was preferred
against Brown before Probate Judge
Henderson. Brown waived preiimin-
airy hearing and was bound over to
the district court under $500 bonds
which were furnished
Reford Brown is well known in
Bonners Ferry and has always had
the respect of his acquaintance. 1t
is generally believed that he was
lead into this present trouble by
older persons and that he did not
realize how much he was endanger-
ing his reputation.
Brown is said to have made a
full confession and that this confes-
sion has implicated a number of
local people. 1t is claimed that
he was offered $25 to break into
the Great Northern warehouse and
secure two Great Northern car seals
These car seals are used by people
making illegal shipments of liquor
The liquor is loaded into an empty
car and the seals put on the car
doors. With the seals on the door
officers looking for liquor shipments
would exceed their authority to &c
into the car. With a supply of can
seals the bootlepper may make hi:
shipment without fear of having il
confiscated unless he is caught il
the act of removing the goods.
Local Great Northern authorize.
claim that over 100 car seals have
been stolen from the warehouse il
the past few months.

The Boomers Ferry Lumber com
pany is all ready for the annual
spring drive on the Kootenai river
which is to start as soon as the water
has risen sufficiently. The wanagans
and boats were shipped to Montana
points last Friday. This year the

its logs by rail and the spring drive
will not amount to as much as usual.

School in District No. IA will come
to close Friday of this week. Last
week the board of trustees allowed
the pupils of the 9Th, 7th and 9Th
grades permission to remain at home
and help their parents put in gar
dens where their assistance was need

from these grades attended school

discontinue all work in these grades
for the remainder of the year.

DR.. S. D. LOGAN READS SPLEN-
DID PAPER ON CIVIC
IMPROVEMENT.
RID CITY OF FLY and MOSQUITO
Open Meeting To All The Public
Prof. Galloway Talks on the Great
Menace OF the Fly and Mosquito to
Health---Prepare Float.

After the regular meeting of the
Students Club Saturday an open meet
ing was held in the Sunday schoo
rooms of the First Methodist church
The public was invited, but there were
not many there besides the members
of the Students Club. The open meet
ing was in the nature of civic move
ment and DR.. s. D. Logan, pastor OF
the Garden Street Presbyterian
church, read splendidly prepared
paper on civic improvement.
He told how much prettier and how
much more attractive the city could
be made if every one would help by
keeping their premises clean, and by
planting flowers.
Prof. D. NJ Galloway spoke on the
eradication Of the fly and mosquito,
speaking of the great decrease in the
amount of sickness if the fly and mos
quito could be done away with or part
ly SO. Prof. Galloway is planning a
great work and is getting a great
many people interested in his work
and the results are sure to show this
summer.
Prof. Galloway said that it would
not take more than five hundred dol
lars to get rid of the pests and that
1t would be the best investment pos
sible.
The proposition Of preparing q float
for the First Monday parade was
taken up and discussed. The club de-
cided that they would not prepare a
float by themselves, but would be glad
to join the federation of clubs of the
city and have an extra large float to
represent them.
This was by far the most interest
ing and enthusiastic meeting that the
club has had this year and all agreed
very strongly with DIR. Logan and
Prof. Galloway that the city could
be greatly improved with no great
effort.

WOMEN TAXPAYERS
WOULD VOTE WHEN
CHARTER SUBMITTED
CHAMPIONS EQUAL SUFFRAGE
SAY THAT PLAN WOULD AL
LOW THEM TO DO so.
STATEMENT OF Mr.. ENGLISH
Declared That 1t Makes No Difference
In The Sex of The White Taxpayer
Will Have Chance to Make History
In Columbia.

Shall the women vote in the pro
posed charter, primary on next Mon
day? That is the interesting ques
lion that has been raised by S. w
Warfield, champion of the ballot foI
The members of the fair sex. Under
| he statement of Representative Eng
| fish, "all white taxpayers of the city
of Columbia" are to be eligible to vote.
That would, strictly speaking, include
| he women There are large num-
| Ger of them who are large taxpayers
and who are taking very active in
terest in government. On the other
hand, it is contended that Mr.. English
referred only to white taxpayers who
were qualified voters.
This matter will be put squarely up
to the member from Maury, and he
will have the opportunity Of holding
the first election ever held in Column
bia at which women were permitted
to vote. The champions of equal suf-
frage say that this will be great
chance for Mr.. English to make his
tory as well as do justice to a large
number of the best citizens of the
city.
Writing on this question, Seth W,
Warfield, of Beechlawn, says:
ITO the Editor of The Herald
"Since you published the decision
of Messrs. English and Russell to hold
an election for the white taxpayers to
decide the charter question: the
women property owners have been on
the qui vive to know whether they
will be allowed to walk up and cast
their vote same as a man, or whether
they will have to send proxy armed
with city tax receipt and power
of attorney signed and acknowledged
before notary public.
Does it occur to you that women
own at least SO per cent of the tax
able real estate of this beautiful city |
Of the Dimple? Well, they do, and
should have voice in this election.
II they are not allowed to vote in ]
this primary, just put me down as a
champion for woman suffrage.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
ADMIRAL CAPERTON
TENNESSEAN Is RATED AS ONE
OF THE GREATEST NAVAL
STRATEGiST.

A fattering tribute to Admiral Will.
liam Caperton, native Tennessean
now in command of the Pacific fleet
is paid by the San Diego Union in a
recent issue. Admiral Caperton has
been in service about forty years. He
was reared in Maury county, Tennes
see, near Spring Hill. OF him the Cal
ifornia paper says:
"Probaly no flag officer who has
been in command of the Pacific feet
since 1898 has been confronted with
more responsible duties in making
plans for the protection of American
interests and property on this ssa.
board than that assumed by Admiral
William Caperton since the diplomatic
break with Germany.
Admiral Caperton is not only rated
as one of Americas greatest living
naval strategists, but he also is noted
as a fighter and, when occasion re
quires polished diplomat. All these
attributes were forcibly brought to the
attention of the navy department
when Admiarl Caperton was called
upon to quell the revolution in Uncle
Sans possessions in the Caribbean
Whenever the occasion required AID
miral Caperton used diplomacy and
when this failed to produce the de
sired effects he resorted to shrapnel
By these methods Admiral Capertor
not only effectually put quietus or
the revolutionary element but he also
won the admiration and respect of the
natives of Haiti and Santo Domingo
