OFFICIALS OF TWO GOVERNMENTS INTERESTED IN
PLANS FOR DRAINAGE OF THE K0OTENAI VALLEY
Heads of British Columbia Government Meet with Creson and Boundary
County Folks SatudayAsk for Further Drainage DaaLooal People
Attend in Autos and Steamer CscenRd Letter Day History of
Kooenai Valley Drainage Conference Yesterday

that a treaty must be secured be-
tween the United States and British
Columbia governments which will
create a commission of experts and
give them power and financial as
sistance so that they may proceed
to collect data concerning the feast
bility of widening the West Arm of
the Kootenai lake, diverting the Koo-
tenai river into the Upper Column
bia and constructing bikes and lev
ees. Most of this work must be
done in British Columbia. If the
engineers can agree on a plan which
is reasonably sure of success then
the people of the Kootenai valley in
the United States and British Co
lumbia may expect financial aid from
their respective governments. At the
Creston meeting the British Columbia
officials learned, first hand, what
their constituents desire and these of
ficials will face drainage problems
from a sensible, business, dollars and
cents standpoint.
Considering the attitude which has
been taken by Senator Borah and
the Idaho delegation at Washington,
D. c., recently, and that of the Brit
ish Columbia officials, in regard to
the drainage project, it would seem
that the reclamation of the Kootenai
valley is now nearer realization than
ever before. The continued perse-
verance and cooperation of the citi-
zens of Boundary county and Creston
is bound to bring results and hasten
the day of complete reclamation.

the Bonners Ferry-Porhill road con-
tain loose planks which are danger
GUS for horses or autos. There are
but few bridges in the county which
have properly made approaches.
Another complaint the taxpayers
are making is over the fact that the
commissioners have provided no ade-
quate turning out places on the new
Rock Creek hill road which winds
around sharp turns in a number of
places and is not wide enough to
allow teams or autos to pass.
The roads and bridges of the coun-
ty should certainly have the first
attention of the county commission
ers. Even in a dry season such as
we have just had the bridges could
at least be kept in repair and a por-
ton of the bridge money of the coun-
ty should be kept for necessary fall
work. Broken bridge planks, loose
planks, faulty approaches, bitches
filled in with rotten logs are men,
ace to lives and property and if not
repaired the county may be sure of
facing, some of these days, an ex-
pensive damage suit.

SURVEY new
STATE HIGHWAY
STATE ENGINEERING CREW
ABOUT COMPLETED WORK
TO BONNER COUNTY.
MAY TRY A NEW ROUTE
Many Grades and Dangerous Curves
Now Eliminated.

The survey of the new state high
way from Bonners Ferry to the Bon
ner county line is now practically
complete and in a few more weeks
the bids for the construction of the
new road and the repairing and wild
ening of the present county road to
be taken over by the state, will be
let.
The survey was made by Engineer
VIM. Ocborne according to instruc-
tions of State Engineer Booth. d.
I. Mccoy and w. e. Bloomburg as
sisted Mr.. OSBORNE. According to the
present plans of the states engineer
no surveys of the proposed state
highway from Bonners Ferry to the
Montana state line will be made this
fall. The supervision of the con-
struction work on the road from Bon
ners Ferry to the Bonner county line
will be in charge of Messrs. Mccoy
and Bloomburg
A number of changes have been
made in the road so that no part
Of it will exceed a five per cent
grade and all parts will be "a feet
wide in the cuts and 18 fees wide
in fills and turncuts in all dangerous
places. In Two places it is planned
to change the course of Deep Creek
in order to eliminate grades ard
dangerous turns AT Naples it is
planned to cross the Great Northern
tracks near tie depot and the road
will run on straight line to con-
meet with the Old railroad grada now
used for a county road.
The most important change is to
lie made at Macarthur whe.e the
dangerous railway crossing and sew
eral bad grades will be eliminated
by running the road parallel to the
Great Northern racks and putting
in &c foot span bridge across Deep
creek.
Engineer Osborne stated that at
the request of County Commissioner
Fitzpatrick he planned to make a
survey of a route running through
Paradise valley to Naples. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick claims that this route is tair-
ly level except in a couple of places
and that the maintenance of it would
be small in comparison with the re-
quirements of the present road alorg
Deep creek. Mr.. Osborne stated that
while he was willing to make sur
veys of proposed routes the matter
of selection of a route was entirely
within the power Of State Engineer

PAVING EXPERT
INVESTIGATES

r. A. Biggs, a we'll known civil
engineer of Spokane, arrived here
Friday to consult with the members
of the town board of trustees in re-
gard to their plans of paving Main
street. Mr.. Biggs met with the
councilmen Friday night and was per-
suaded to remain over a day or two
to make an investigation of the rock
and gravel available.
Sunday Mr.. Biggs visited the var
ious places near the city where gray
ell, rock and sand is available. He
also inspect the city and county
rock crusher.
In Mr.. Bigg's opinion the granite
rock where the rock crGshe' is To-
Gated would not be suitable and would
be too expensive to quarry for road
work. He was also unable to find
rock or gravel which he considered
suitable rear Boomers Ferry and he
recommended that gravel ba shipped
in. Mr. Biggs stated that The Town
and county had not been stung in the
purchase price of the rock crusher or
bins but that a cheaper machine and
smaller and lighter bins would have
answered the purpose of the county
and town Just as well.
Mr.. Biggs decided that he could
not give any estimates of the cost
IF paving until after he had taken
lie yels of Main street ard had gone
into the T. alter Of securing materials
a little more thoroughly. r. offere

per day and expenses and his offer
Will be acted upon this evening at
the meeting of the town board.

Many complaints are being voiced
these days over the condition in
which the county roads and bridges
are to be found on the main travelled
highways of the county. AS a matter
of fact there is no disputing that
the roads and bridges are in worse
shape this fall than ever before for
period of at least six years.
The road conditions may be laid,
partly, to the fact that the dry sea-
son this year has been a long one.
Still in sections of the county where
proper attention was given the roads
in the spring of the year they are
yet in good shape. The road for
a few miles near Moravia and the
road near Porthill are both good
examples of how a dirt road may
be made to stand up if it is prop
erly built in the first place and then
cared for at the proper time of the
year. To build roads in the fall
of the year of dirt as was done last
year just prior to the fall election,
is a waste of county money.
Many complaints have come from

GIFTS FOR THE
SOLDIER BOYS

Wishing to show "our own"
soldier boys from Boundary
county some special attention
at this time, the ladies of the
Red Cross Auxiliary have pur-
chased pipes and tobacco to be
made up in individual pack
ages and presented each boy.
The first presentation will be
made at the court house at
five o'clock Tuesday evening,
to the twelve drafted men who
are to leave Thursday. Each
package contains fine
French briar pipe, a can of to-
bacco and a box of safety
matches, all wrapped attrac-
lively in white tissue paper,
tied with red ribbon and bear
ing a card with the inscrip-
ton: with good wishes,
from Bonners Ferry Red Cross
Auxiliary, Oct. 8, 1917" 1t is
not SO much the value of the
little gift, as the desire to
show the boys that we are
truly interested in their COM
fort, and eager to do all that
is possible to help them for
get the disagreeable features
of war; and what is more
soothing to the average man,
than a good smoke ?" May
these particular smokes"
bring a pleasant dream of
home and friends.

FOOD SAVING

r. F. BicEnell, U. S. Food Admin
istrator for Idaho, with headquar-
ters at Boise, has appointed C. W.
King county chairman for Boundary
county to represent the u. S. Food
Administration in the campaign being
organized for the week of October
21st to 2Sth.
In his letter of appointment Mr..
Bicknell states:
81 may say that the situation in
this war as it stands is much more
serious than the most of us think.
However, Idaho up to the present
time has not made the showing that
we had hoped for along this line.
We have but three weeks to prepare
for this and it will take hard in
tensive work to see that again Idaho
is well Np with the leaders in the
nation. You will recall what a mag
nificent showing we made in the Red
Cross campaign. Idaho is rich. Her
people are we'll fed. They are big,
generous, people and we know will
be glad of this opportunity to help"
This War Will Be Won by Food.
"The great question at the present
time is not that we are short of a
worlds supply of food but it is a
question of being able to get it to
our allies. They are not IN a posi-
ton to convey this food from distant
parts of the world but are able, with
what shipping that we have at hand
to convoy enough food from Ameri-
can ports to England and France pro-
viding we can supply a sufficient
amount after our own wants are
taken care of. Mr. Hoover thinks
we will be quite able to do that if
we all fully make up our minds to
try to help out in every way.
Democratic institutions are al
stake the world over. We were long
time realizing this but now we do
1t is up to us to show that demo
cratic institutions are capable OF
dominating the situation. But let us
do this VOLUNTARILY"

mite plans for the future and their
