IDAHO CONTINENTAL CO. BRINGS
MONEY TO BONNERS FERRY
Klockmanns Buy Greater Part of Supplies for
Mine Workers and Livestock Here
Employees Spend Wages in County

Boomers Ferry people are taking
greater interest each week in the
commendable work of inducing new
industries to locate here and in fur
thering and developing the agricul-
tural and other resources of the
county. This is a most necessary
work if there is to be that degree
of development throughout the coun-
ty that all are anxious to see and
upon which so much of the county's
prosperity depends. While we are
bending our efforts in furthering this
work, we should not lose sight of the
fact that already there is located in
the county an industry that is de-
veloping into one of no mean pro-
portions and that this development
is being accomplished with a crafty
ing degree of speed.
The Idaho Continental mine in the
northern part of the county is con-
tributing yearly to the prosperity
of the entire district and is des-
tined to become a much greater fac
tor in the financial life of the COM
munity. This property, Of which
Mr.. A. Hickman is president and
general manager, is expending In
payroll and the purchase of pro
visions much more than the unposted
person Woulu SuPPoSe- NhSi ~
property is being operated at full
capacity it employs in the neighbor-
hood of 125 men. This means a
payroll that is a very welcome ad-
dition to the pocketbooks of the
people of the county. Furthermore
there is much produce consumed at
the mines boarding house and IN
caring for it's livestock. Recently
| in a hurried trip through Boomers
Ferry, Mr.. Hickman was heard
negotiating with a local rancher fol
apples and potatoes. He instructed
the rancher to ship him all that he
had and there was no haggling over
the price, Mr.. Hickman stating
that he believed he had gotten the
better of the rancher a short time
before on shipment OF potatoes ina,
had been purchased just before thai
llowly vegetable began it's skyrock
citing career. Another rancher wa:
hailed and within two minutes
deal closed for a shipment of hay
This is but indicative of the marke'
the mine provides for the produce o.
the county.
Another feature of which very
few are aware is that Hickman
Brothers are operating considerable
of a farm in connection with tn
mine. On an average they have OF
hand from a hundred head OF cat
tie up, and these are killed at tn
rate of two a week to supply thu
men at the mine with beef. During
the grazing period these animals ar
run in the national forest, the klocck
mans securing permits yearly 10
that purpose. Carl Hickman ha
full charge of the farming end o
the enterprise.
The Herald has from time to tim
given news features covering the &C
J tivities of the Idaho-Contineneta

the mines output was ~ carload

production having been accomplish

The above telegram which was re-
ceived by Postmaster John r. Wiley
yesterday morning is a copy of one
which was sent out yesterday to all
the postmasters in the larger villages

the United States recruiting offices.
The notices have been sent to the

The call for recruits is made in
accordance with the proclamation is
sued yesterday by President Wilson
who has determined to prepare with
all haste to increase the military
forces of the nation looking forward
to a formal declaration of war with
Germany. The concensus of opinion
at the national capital is that the re-
cent acts of Germany in sinking
American ships mean that the United
States is in a state of warfare.
In accordance with instructions
from Washington Governor Alexan-
der has issued a call for the mobili-
cation of Idaho's militia. Command

recruit their companies to full wal
strength at once. The mobilization
point has not been named. In Bon

Recruiting Officer Wiley is anx
ious that Bonners Ferry send a larg'
company of recruits in answer t.
the telegram received yesterday from
Spokane. Under the system of ma
king postmasters recruiting officer
it is provided that the postmaste
shall receive for his services 500
for every recruit secured. Mr.. Vile.
announced yesterday that he did no
want his work to secure recruit
construed to be from a mercenar,
standpoint and on this account h
proposed that if recruits are secure
in this district he will either tur

NEWLIQUORLAW
IS STRINGENT

Probably the most stringent anti
liquor law placed on the statute
books since the enactment of the
statewide prohibition law, was the
Alfred Johnston house bill No. 266
approved by the last legislature and
just signed by the governor. 1t pro
vides for a sweeping seizure and con-
fiscation of all vehicles used in the
transportation or carrying of liquor
in this state.
This bill provides that whenever
sheriff or any other peace officer
has probable cause to believe that
Intoxicating liquor is being transport
ed or kept within the state of Idaho
in violation of the law, such sheriff
or other peace officer is authorized
and empowered to search, with or
without warrant, any depot, bag
gage room, premises, building, satch-
ell, suit case, grip, trunk, receptacle
of any kind, wagon, automobile, car,
boat or vehicle or any kind wherein
or whereby, in the opinion of such
sheriff or other peace officer, in
toxicating liquor is being concealed
or transported in violation of the
laws of this state"
Inc ABOVE provision gives unllmlt-
ed power of search for intoxicants
The following provision gives the

PEOPLE OF BOUNDARY COUNTY
WANT MODERN HOSPITAL
Plan of Raising Money by Subscriptions Meets
With General Favor---Lists Will Be
Circulated This Week

Many inquiries have been received
this week at the Herald office in
regard to the proposition suggested
in these columns last week of the
general public assisting with sub
scriptions of money or labor and
moral support the securing of a new
and modern hospital for Bonners
Ferry and Boundary county. A score
or more have signified their will
ingness to subscribe money or labor
and several will donate both. Two
well known citizens have stated that
they would furnish rooms in the
proposed new hospital.
1t is generally known that the con-
struction and equipment of all hos
pitfalls is accomplished by public sub
scription. The hospitals in Spokane
were constructed almost entirely with
money given for the purpose. There
is no reason why Boomers Ferry and
Boundary county should be an excep-
ton to the common rule. The people
in this district are just as public
spirited and just as liberal as in any
community of the universe. Then,
too, the people of Boundary county,
as a whole, realize that a modern
hospital is necessity and an asset
to the district. 1t is noticeable that
the people who have been inmates or
who have had friends who were
inmates of the present hospital are
among the first to boost the project
of securing a new and modern build
ing. They realize the need of pro-
viding the best in the way of &C
commodations for the sick, for those
who have met with accidents.
1t has now been fully decided that
a campaign will be started for the
purpose of securing subscriptions OF
money and labor for a new hos
pital. Subscription lists will be cir
culated within the next few days
The churches, the lodges, all secular
organizations will be asked to dc
their share. The individual will be
given an opportunity to contribute
whatever he or she feels able tt
give. No contribution is too small
The giver of the mite will have al
least shown that his heart is in the
right place. Don't wait for. the com
mittee to call and see you. Call VI
the Herald office or Drs. Fry anC
Faucet and ask that your name b'
placed on the lists for contribution
Be among the first to head the sub
scription lists.

PAPER MILL AGENT
COMING HERE SOON

A. A. st. Marries of Kim

of a large paper manufactur-
ing company, will come to
Boomers Ferry within a week
or so to investigate the feast
bility of establishing a paper
and pulp mill here.
This is the information re-
ceived by A. ]. Kent who has
been endeavoring for several
years to interest eastern man.
ufacturers in establishing a
paper mill here. The data
which Mr.. Kent secured on
the amount of pulp wood in
the district and the available
water power, was sent to f.
C. Leahy, industrial agent of
the Great Northern Railway
company and he in turn gave
it to Mr.. Marries. The Kim
berly people have asked Mr..
Kent for an option on his
Moyie water power site.

WOODMEN WILL HELP
THE HOSPITAL FUND

The members of the Modern
Woodmen of the World held
meeting last evening and
unanimously decided that the
the lodge would assist in the
effort to secure a new hos
pital for Bonners Ferry and
that as the lodges share to-
ward helping the project it
would offer to furnish COM
pletely one of the rooms. To
furnish hospital room with
the proper equipment means
an expenditure of about $500.
1t is expected that the other
lodges of the city will fol-
low the example set by the
Woodmen and that they will
literally contribute toward the
new hospital fund.
