LOSES FIVE HEAD OF STOCK
Death Caused From Eating Rusted,
Wheat Straw.

During the past month five head
of cattle have died at the Clover
dale Ranch in Cow Creek owned by
Mrs. l.. ]. Bush. The last one to
succumb to what had been an I'M
known malady was good mich COW
which died last week, the four other
animals to die being yearlings. The
cause for this loss puzzled the own
ers for some time but at last Forest
Bush began an investigation and fl
nally dug up the information that
the trouble was being caused by
lusted wheat straw which the stock
was eating. He at once burned all
the wheat straw that showed any
signs of rust, and believes now that
he will lose no more stock from
that cause.
The Bushes are planning to go
into the dairying and stockraising
business very extensively in the near
future and are disposing of their
present stock and will purchase a
number of pure bred Shorthorn cat
tie. Mr.. Bush has taken a course
at the Idaho agricultural college
and is thoroughly convinced of the
futility of raising inferior stock and
of the wisdom of haYing nothing
but pure bred animals. This is the
sort of conviction and practice that
should spread among all the farmers
of the county.

PLAN ACTIVE
PUBLICITY WORK
Local Commercial Club Is Considering
Move to Advertise the County's
Agricultural Resources
ODE DIRECTED bylaw. HEMNlINC
Has Had Much Experience with Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce

A movement is now under way
by the Kootenai Valley Commercial
club whereby an active publicity
campaign exploiting the resources of
Boundary county may be undertaken.
Whether or not this work is taken
up depends largely on the financial
support the club receives. At a
meeting of the directors of the or
ganization held last week this sub
ject was discussed and it was re-
ferred to the finance committee with
instructions to solicit subscriptions
to support the undertaking and re-
port at the meeting of the club
tonight. This committee consists
of ]. w. Reid, H. 1. Monks and
H. f. Storm.
Briefly, the plan under considera-
ton contemplates putting into effect
a carefully thought out campaign to
advertise the agricultural resources
of Boundary county. The entire
campaign, if adopted, will probably
be placed under the direction of A.
V. Hemming, who recently purchased
and moved onto the Stanley ranch
Mr.. Hemming has had three years
experience with the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce in connection with
ilo uCNCiOp fnCnO WOlhs anu HAS u dN-
eled extensively over the Inland EN-
pire and northwest territory. His
experience amply fits him to direct
this work.
Special effort will be made to get
present farmers and other property
owners to cut up their holdings
when they are too large, and place
a reasonable price thereon, with easy
terms of payment. When this worl
is done every effort will be made
to secure a good class of farmer.
to take these lands and develop
them. 1t is also realized that the
one resource to which this country
is peculiarly adapted is undoubtedl!
that of dairying and stockraising
This industry will therefore b,
aided as much as possible in it
development. Under this movement
every step taken by the club will
be for the development of the farm
of the county and to increase thu
farm population.
However, the first question to b
determined is that of raising tn
necessary finances, on which all tn
rest depends.

TALENT FROM BONNERS FERRY
Two Local Dogs to Star in Cougar
Hunt for Movies.

Chas. Ordish of Kalispell, Mont,
was in Bonners Ferry last Friday
having come here to secure the loan
of two of VIM. Heathershaw's ia
nous cougar dogs, Jake and Dewey.
Ordish took the dogs with him to
Kalispell where they will be used
as two of the chief actors in a
thrilling and stirring photo drama
of the wild Ordish was accompanied
by a moving picture camera man
from Seattle and their intention is
to hunt a cougar from his mountain
lair in the Kalispell country and
take photos of the ensuing hunt.
They wish to produce a picture of
1000 feet of film.
Ordish is well known in the north
ern part of this county where in
company with Mr.. Heathershaw, he
has hunted on various occasions, one
of the latest ones being about four
years ago when they caught a live
cougar and shipped him to St. Louis
securing 500 for the beast, and in
the handling of which Ordish re-
ceived a badly bitten hand. Ordish
makes a speciality of capturing cou-
CARS. At one time the state of
ficials of Montana presented him
with a handsome gold medal in
Honor of his having disposed of so
many of the destructive varmints.
The medal is valued at about SIS
and bears in relief the head of a
large cougar on one side.
If successful in securing the pic
ture, it certainly will be full of
action and exciting moments as they
plan to take the animal alive.

MAY ESTABLISH
POOR FARM
Matter Being Considered by Board Of
County Commissioners, but No
Decision R, ached
MANY SITES ARE AVAILABLE
Some Tracls Near Town Are Btiog
Examined Today

The board of county commissioners
are considering the question of pur-
chasing tract of land to be used
as a county poor farm. No decis-
ion has been reached nor has the
matter been thoroughly threshed out
by the commissioners as yet. How
ever, they expect to examine a few
sites today so as to have all fea-
lures clearly in mind when they do
take it up for final discussion.
If tract is purchased and a poor
farm established, the reason Tor do
ing so will be to take care of the
county's poor more economically, so
state the county commissioners.
There are few the county is hav-
ing to support now and the COM
missioners find that their board and
other expenses come to a rather
high figure. In addition to these
there are also a few widows who
are drawing widows pensions from
the county. 1t has been suggested
that with a farm established, some
Of these might be glad to do the
necessary homework and secure a
good home at the farm.
ANY number of sites are open
to purchase but a location within
reasonable distance of Bonners Ferry
is desired. Some of these will be
viewed today.
The matter largely depends upon
whether it would be good business
for the county to establish the farm
according to the statements of the
commissioners. Before purchasing
they state they will first carefully
consider the initial expense involved
in the purchase of the tract and
erection of buildings and the cost
of maintaining the establishment
Against this expense will be con
sidered the number of inmates that
would be placed on the farm ans
what revenue, if any, could be pro-
duced by them. Before final de.
cision is reached these questions will
all be carefully considered.

Legislature Adiourns

The Idaho legislature adjourned at
midnight Saturday night. The last
hours of the session were crowded
with business. Among the acts of
special interest to this section was
the passage by the senate of the
Kent joint memorial praying con-
gress for an appropriation of $780,
900 for drainage of the Kootenai
valley. This will go to the gov
ernor for his signature. The state
division bill, which had passed the
house, was laid on table by senate.
A compromise compensation bill was
passed after hard fight. Five new
counties were created during the ses-

The council was very ia
vorably impressed with the plans in
a general way, but advisability of
building or not building at present
is still being discussed. Of course
the matter would have to be submit
ted to an election, and it is quite
probable that such an election will
be called soon.
One advantage of the new system
and means for increased revenue
would be the fact that farmers living
south of town could tap the pipe
line both for domestic and irrigation
purposes, as there would be a prac-
tically unlimited supply of water.

Rock CruSher Case
Is Argued in Court

The appeal of l. Lefebvre and ~
other taxpayers of the county
against the action of the former
board of county commissioners in
entering into a contract with the
city of Bonners Ferry for the pur-
chase of a rock crusher, was argued
before Judge Flynn last Tuesday
afternoon. The case was taken I'M
der advisement by the judge and a
decision probably will not be had
before 30 days.
Attorney E. NJ Flood, who repre-
sented the appellants, based his ar
gument on three points, admitting
the existence of the contract but
claiming that it was illegal. He
argued that the commissioners ex-
ceeded their authority in the Dur
chase of the rock crusher; that there
was not sufficient money on
hand at the time to justify the ex-
penditure; that the statute provides
that the county shall have control
and care of all property of the
county and that this could not be
done with the city owning a half
interest in the crusher. He further
contended that there was not suf-
ficient money in the road fund to
warrant the purchase of the machine
and hence the act was in violation
of an Idaho statute. His other con-
tention was that if the city failed
in its contract the county would
be held for the whole amount and
therefore it was really guaranteeing
the debts of another corporate body,
which is contrary to statute.
Attorney E. w. Wheelan of Sand
point appeared for the Good Roads
Machinery company and argued that
the contract was made in good faith
and was legal. He showed that a
transfer of money had been made
from the road fund to the current
expense fund, claiming that this was
Illegal, and therefore there was in
reality sufficient money in the road
fund to justify the purchase. He
requested time in which the submit a
brief in answer to Mr.. Floods ar
guments in regard to the prohi-
billions of the constitution and this
the court granted.
AS the Herald went to press last
Tuesday the case of the Ellison
White ChautaUqua company VS.. Geo
G. Wade was being tried in the dis
trict court, being an action to col
lect on contract. The case was ia
ken from the jury by Judge Flynn
and a verdict ordered in behalf OF
the plaintiff on the grounds that
there was no evidence that the plain
tiff had not fulfilled contract.
The case of ]. R. Wiley VS.. the
Great Northern Railway company
for damage to a safe in transit was
also tried, being an appeal from the
probate court where the plaintiff
had been given SIS damages. The
jury of the higher court returned z
verdict Of $50 for the plaintiff. Tho
judge overthrow the verdict and or
dered a new trial on the grounds
that the jury had not followed his
instructions, to the effect that dam.
age could not be claimed under the
law and evidence for more than $50
The court adjourned Wednesday
after hearing a number of law
equity and divorce cases.

Does 1t Mean New Side Tracks?

There is a wonder growing in
the minds of some people whether
the new tracks will not be built,
after all, by the Great Northern in
the Bonners Ferry yards. The rails
intended for the new construction
were unloaded here and last week
another carload of material for the
same purpose was delivered to the
local yards. All of which has set
some to wondering as to what use
the new material is to be put.
