II might be we'll to add here that
on August 22nd, 1914, the Tonopah
Mining Company of Nevada made an
additional payment on account of ar
rearages in the sum of $23. .497.S6 and
we find the following explanation:
paid additional account
arrearages 1s11-1912.....-.$10,729.S
Paid additional account
arrearages 191S...-..-...... $l2.67S.O4"
Additional Payments
II must be borne in mind that these
additional payments, aggregating
1923, ,4O7.S6, were made after settle
ments had been made with the sher-
iff-assessor on the basis of the sworn
quarterly reports and this large
amount represents bullion tax that
the said company had withheld from
Nye county. and it is therefore not
unreasonable to believe that other
and larger sums have been withheld;
especially so in view of the fact that
the published annual report of said
company to its own stockholders is
proof that the company's profits ac-
tually we're as shown above and not
as shown by the sworn quarterly re-
ports to the sheriff.assessor

er case where they forgot that the
Kootenai Valley does not end at
Bonners Ferry. Mr.. Baldwin states
that he arrived at Boomers Ferry
about 3 years ago and was looking
for land. He was shown a few places
that were for sale near town. None
suited. He was then informed that
there was some good buys on the
north bench. One real estate dealer
was to take him out and show these
places, but for some reason he could
not go at the appointed time. So
Mr.. Baldwin thought he would take
a walk over the bridge to the north
bench and see what the country
looked like. Well, he got on the
north side in the neighborhood of
the northside schoolhouse and saw all
those rocks on the surface, and as
he was not a mining man and knew
nothing of the value of these rock
in mineral, and as he was looking
for farm land, and if that was the
only kind of land Boomers Ferry
people had on the north bench he
didn't want any of it. He met a
party from the Yack country who
told him of good land there, and
there he located and was very sorry
that he did so. We believe that Mr.
Baldwin is the kind of man that we
need in the Kootenai Valley as from
all appearances he is a man that will
not be afraid to work Mr.. Baldwin
states that his brother from Kansas
will be a partner on the Trow place
and that they expect to raise cattle
and sheep. They also will set out
small orchard and make many
other improvements.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trow left Porthill
Oct. 9th for Minneapolis, Mimi,
where they will make their future
home with their daughter.
A farewell party was planned but
owing to Mrs. Trow's poor health
it was not carried out. Owing to
Mr.. Trow's age he was not able to
ranch very extensively, so we ex-
pect to see great change in the
ranch after Mr.. Baldwin takes pas
session which will be some time dur
ing the summer of 1918.
| think we can all do our bit by
helping locate homeseekers in the
Kootenai Valley and if we wish to
make our county seat a bigger bet
ter Boomers Ferry, we must let the
prospective settler know that the
Kootenai Valley is bigger and better
than what one can see of it around
Bonners Ferry.
For a larger population of the
Kootenai Valley.
Truly yours,
CHAS. J. DAUFAU.

A BIGGER, BETTER

Port Hill, Ida, Oct. 80, 1917.
Bonners Ferry Herald:
Dear Editor: l noticed in the
last Herald that you say the Trow
place near Port Hill was sold to
a Mr.. Baldwin. / wish to state
that / sold the ]. o. Trow place
to ]. P. Baldwin of Sylvanite, Mont.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baldwin, with Mr..
and Mrs. w. Star of the Yack dis
trict, were visiting us and while
they were here / learned that they
were not satisfied in Montana so /
got busy and told Mr.. Baldwin of
the opportunities in the grand old
Kootenai Valley and of the bargain
in the j. o. Trow ranch. Mr.. Bald
win noticed the different varieties
of vegetables and fruit that we have
here and the quantity, under the
conditions which we had this past
summer which was extremely dry
weather; in all he was we'll pleased
with what he saw, so | spent a day
with my car, and showed him the
Trow place and he bargained for 1t
at once.
Mr.. Baldwin made Mr.. Trow two
different offers which were accepted
and then rejected, and finally the
deal was closed at Mr.. Trow's price
do not believe that any other man
would have bought the place at all
under the same circumstances and
Iwish to say that if there are any
other Kootenai Valley ranchers that
wish to sell and get buyer, let them
accept an offer and stay with il
for not doing so will discourage g
prospective homeseeker very much
/ also wish to call our Boomers Ferry
neighbours attention to this as anoth-

Because OF the superiority OF Ameri-

The European pelts, which now large
ly make up the world supply, biologists
of the United States department OF
agriculture foresee a profitable Ameri-
can industry in moleskins. In the
Northwest the animals are large and
plentiful and it is often desirable to
keep their numbers down to prevent
injury to fields and lawns. Mole trap
ping should be especially desirable as
a spare time occupation for farmers
boys, it is pointed out.
The habits of American mOles are
described and methods of capturing
them and treating and marketing
their skins are outlined in farmers

"Indeet, look you," said Taffy. Il

"Can you make window sashesT

Surely" was the lacOnic answer.
"Well, just take off your coat and

So Taffy set to work, while the flores
man went off round the works. The
first sash the new hand attempted
was failure, so planting it under the
bench, Taffy got ahead with a second
one, and had just finished it when the
