TO ENCOURAGE
PATRIOTISM
EVANGELIST OSBORN TO CON-
DUCT SPECIAL SERVICES
THIS EVENING.
BOOSTER CHORUS WILL SING
Evangelist Says Meetings Thus Far
Are Very Successful.

If expectations are fulfilled there
will be a rousing patriotic service
at Kents' hall this evening which
will be conducted by Evangelist Os-
born, assisted by Mrs. Theo Doane
Callahan, directress of chorus work,
and the corps of local workers.
The drummer" evangelist will de-
liver a patriotic address and those
who have heard him are assured it
will be we'll worth hearing. There
will also be several special musical
numbers in addition to the patriotic
songs to be sung by the Booster
choir.
A feature of the meeting this
evening will be the singing of the
Booster" chorus which is composed
of over so young people. The sing
ing of this choir is an attraction
in itself. Mrs. Callahan has shown
great ability in training voices for
chorus work and she expects very
soon to be able to double the num-
Der new enrolled as members of the
Booster" chorus. Evangelist Osborn
urges that the parents send their
children to join the Booster" chorus
inasmuch as they will have excellent
training and will be given full OPP
portunity to develop any latent mu-
steal quality under Mrs. Galatians
tutelage.
Local folks are hoping that before
the Osborn party leave Boomers Fer.
nv they will give their much famed
LULLABY Concert" They gave this
concert in Buffalo, N. Y, and after
the concert the pastor of the Pres
byterian church offered Mr.. Osborn
5000 if he would repeat the enter
tainment in his church.
Evangelist Osborn states that con-
sidering the size of the town his
meetings are meeting with remark
able success. Over 100 have signed
cards asking that they be remem-
bered in the prayers of the Christian
people and many of these have ex-
pressed church preferences.
The meetings Sunday were
held in accordance with previous
announcements except that VIM
Kerns, of the Moody Institute, was
not able to come here. Mr.. Osborn
expects that Mr.. Kerns will arrive
some time this week.

SOON READY
FOR FARM LOANS
FROM SPOKANE
FEDERAL FARM LOAN
BANKS EXPECTED.
78 APPLICATIONS ARE FILED
Local Board Has Completed Several
Appraisements.

The officers and stockholders of
the Boundary County National Farm
Loan association expect that in a
few weeks the local organization will
have received it's charter from the
Federal Loan Bank, of Washington,
d. c. Upon receipt of this charter
the local organization will have been
legally organized and ready to do
business.
Before the charter can be granted
an appraiser from the Federal Land
bank at Spokane will come here and
appraise the various properties on
Secretary Bottum announc-
ed this morning that the appraiser
was expected here this week.
A total of rs applications for
farm loans under the federal farm
loan act have been made in Boundary
county. These applications total
S144,610, the loans requested rang
ing in amounts from $3.50 to S5Ooo.
Secretary Bottum states that many
local people do not seem to under
stand for what purposes money may
be borrowed under the federal loan
act. Under the provisions of the
act money cannot be borrowed by
those who have leased their land
or who are not farming the land
at their own risk. Money may be
borrowed by bona fide farmers for
the purpose of buying equipment, fer
tilizers or livestock; to erect build
ings and for the improvement Of the
farm; for the purchase of additional
land. In case the money borrowed
is to be used in the purchase of
additional land the land to be pur-
chased may be used for security.
The officers of the Boundary Coun-
ty National Farm Loan assertion
are: G. w. Spoerry, presidents; j.
B. Brody, vice president; Frank Bot
tum, acknowledgements. The board
of directors are G; w. Spoerry, W
w. Branom, j. V. Stanley, j. b.
Brody and James Deyoe.
The loan committee, composed of
Messrs. Spoerry, Stanley, Branom1
and Brody have already appraised
and approved Ia of the applications
for farm loans. These IA appraise-
ments will be the first to have the
attention of the appraiser OF the
Federal Farm Loan Bank Of Spo-
kane when he comes.

WOULD HURRY RECLAMATION
A. ]. Kent Anxious to Have Drainage
Assumed by Government.

State Representative A. j. Kent
is working out a plan to secure gov
eminent aid for drainage problems
in the Kootenai valley. He expects
to have introduced in congress a
bill which will provide that the gov
eminent engineers proceed with the
drainage work, the expenses to be
borne by the benefited property as
in the ordinary drainage district
Under this plan Mr.. Kent figures
that the property owners would have
double assurance that the work would
be done properly and then again
if the government has charge of
the work the problem of securing
an equitable assessment of Indian
lands in the proposed district to be
drained, would be solved.
Mr.. Kent is also of the opinion
that if the river were Strengthened
at one or two points between here
and Creston at least nine miles could
be saved and the new channels would
have a tendency to carry off the
water faster than the present one
which is so full of large bends and
curves.

Wilson Immediately stepped up to
get the telegram. He had acted too

TROY Wins Ball Game

Bonners Ferry baseball team suf-
fered another defeat Sunday by the
Troy baseball nine on the Troy
grounds, the score being s to 3.
The home team went to Troy pre-
pared, as they thought, to take re-
venge for the two previous defeats.
Hayes, left handed pitcher from
Maiden, Wash, was the man on
whom Bonners Ferry pinned its
hopes. Hayes proved to be a mighty
good pitcher but the catcher, one
of the Boise militiamen, was not
able to hold him. Those who attend
ed the game say that it was a
good one and well worth the trip.
Captain Fritts has word from Lib
by asking that the Boomers Ferry
team come there to play against the
Libby team on July 4th and 9Th.

accept the invitation.

ing the salaries of the village mar
shall at $75 per month, the attorney
at SIS, the clerk at $40 and the
treasurer at SIS.

received money from the county in
