cert Next Tuesday Night

Next Sunday evening, June oath,
the Drummer" evangelist, Rev. Os-
born, will preach his farewell SER
mon and bring to a close one of the
most successful evangelistic meetings
which have ever been held in Bon
ners Ferry.
At the Sunday morning service Mr..
Osborn and his corps of assistants
will make an accounting of the
work which has been accomplished
since the meetings started. There
will be a mass meeting at Kent's hall
in the afternoon to which both men
and women are invited and the
Booster chorus will sing at both the
afternoon and evening services. 1t
is expected that those who have sig
nified their intentions during the re-
vival meetings of leading a Christian
life will affiliate with the various
churches of the city next Sunday.
Last Sunday II joined the Methodist
church and number joined the I'm
ion church. Evangelist Osborn states
that there are a number who have
not yet affiliated with local church
organizations but who will do so this
coming week. He states that the
Sunday services were largely attend
ed and were the most successful and
inspiring of any held thus far of the
series. Sunday afternoon, in his lee

HELLO GIRLS
BACK AGAIN
INTERSTATE UTILITIES COM
PANY AGREES TO PAY SCALE
OF WAGES ASKED
SERVICE RESUMED SATURDAY
New Scale Means Increase of One
Third in Wages.

Regular phone service in Bonners
Ferry was resumed at three o'clock
Saturday when an agreement on the
question of wages to be paid in the
future was reached in the conference
held by F. A. Adams, associate coun-
ell for the Interstate Utilities Com
pany, with the striking operators.
Under the new scale the chief oper-
ator, Miss Alberts, who formerly re-
ceived $42.50 will be paid S55 per
month. Miss Dunn will get $50 in
stead of $3.50 and Miss Boileau
will get $40 instead of $27.50 while
the relief operator, Miss bennington,
will have a maximum wage of $40
instead of $27.50.
The accepted scale of wages meets
the request of the operators with the
exception that $50 was asked for the
chief operator. Mr.. Adams came
here from Standpoint where he had
been in conference with a commit
tee OF Sandnoint business men in
regard to the settlement of the tele-
phone strike and the same scale
which met approval at Standpoint
was adopted here. All the operators
at Standpoint have not agreed to ac-
cept the new scale and-the two OPERA
tors which were brought here last
Wednesday to work while the regular
operators were out, were taken to
Standpoint Saturday. 1t is under
stood that the new scale of wages
meets the approval of the patrons of
the Interstate Utilities Company in
Standpoint and that unless it is ac-
cepted the striking operators will
lose the support of the public in that
place.
Mr.. Adams stated that the girls
now employed by the Interstate Utili-
ties Company would De retained as
long as they give efficient service.
81 believe" said Mr. Adams, "that we
are now paying higher wages for
telephone operators than any other
company in the western states Our.
company is anxious to give efficient
service and we are willing to pay the
price for efficient operators. In pro-
posing our new scale of wages for
operators we refuse to recognize any
union and the principles of a closed
shop"
The operators employed here are
not members of any union and it is
understood, do not contemplate join
ing a union. The girls are highly
elated that they were successful in
securing the increase of wages. They
feel that they did not go beyond
treason in their request for more
wages and also that the Interstate
Utilities Company has been very fair
in its dealings with them.

vocalists furnish entertainment for
the evening.
Mr.. Forbes informs the local Red
Cross committee that five per cent
of the money collected may be re-
tanned to cover expenses and that
25 per cent may be retained by the
local organization for the relief of
Idaho's local dependents
Idaho's quota of the S100,000,000
Red Cross fund is 100000, and this
has been apportioned among the
northern counties as follows: Boun-
dairy, $4,000; Bonner, $500; Koote-
mai, $4,000; Benewah, $4,000; Sho-
shone, $4,000; Latah, $4,000; Clear
water, $4,000; Nez Perez, $4,000;
Lewis, $4,000; Selway, $1,500; Idaho,
$4,000.
On account of the Red Cross meet
ing the evangelistic services at
Kent's hall will not be held Thursday
evening and Evangelist Osborn and
his assistants will join in helping to
make the Red Cross meeting a grand
success. Mrs. Callahan will probably
assist in leading the singing at the
Red Cross meeting.

Meadow Creek, Leonia, Hickman,
Naples, Moravia, Macarthur, Addie,

thing towards the fund which Boun-
dairy county must raise for the Red
Cross.
George Forbes of. Spokane, special
representative of President Wilson's
War Council, department of the Red
Cross, was in the city last evening
and held a conference with local peo-
pie interested in the Red Cross work.
He suggested that number of
teams be appointed, consisting of a
captain and two assistants, who will
be asked to solicit funds for the Red
Cross from every individual in the
county. A list of all the citizens of
the county will be prepared and the
names will be apportioned to the va
rious teams.
Arrangements are being made to-
day for the holding of a mass meet
ing at the Odd Fellows hall on
Thursday evening of this week. The
Knights of Pythias lodge has given
the use of the Odd Fellows hall for
that evening. A speaker from Spo-
kane will be here for the occasion,
probably Mr.. Gilbert, who will pre-
sent the needs of the Red Cross and
tell of what the organization has ac-
complished and hopes to accomplish
in the future. Mr. Gilbert is an ell
oouent and forceful speaker and his
address will be well worth hearing.
The committee arranging for the
mass meeting will secure the serv-
ices of the Bonners Ferry bands and
patriotic concert will be given be-
fore the meeting. 1t is also planned
! to have several local musicians and

WASHING GOLD AT
LENA PLACER NINE

Paul Pattison, superintendent of
the Idaho Gold and Ruby Mining
company, passed through the city
Saturday on his way to Leonia after
a business trip to Spokane. Mr..
Pattison states that his company
cleaned up a week ago Saturday,
following the first placer work and
secured $5S2 worth of gold after
having washed about 600 yards of
gravel. The cleanup for the last
weeks placer work was made Sum-
day, but the Herald has been unable
to get report concerning the
amount of gold secured. Mr.. Patti
son states that it has been found
that the gravel bars carry a large
percentage of platinum and on this
account it is likely that the returns
from placer work will be even larger
than was first anticipated.

Amount in One Week
MASS MEETING INLO.O.F. HALL THURSDAY NIGHT

Red Cross Week, which started
yesterday in accordance with a proc
lamation by President Wilson, is be-
ing observed in every hamlet, viii
lage and city of the United States
and before the coming Saturday
night it is expected that a war fund
of 100000 will be raised by
freewill subscriptions. The Red
Cross finance committee in New
York City has been given $4,000
100000 as its quota of the fund to be
raised.
In every town and county of the
United States a leading and promi-
nent citizen has been designated to
oversee the work of soliciting funds
for the Red Cross. w. d. Baxter
received a telegram yesterday tell
ing him of his appointment by Pres
ident Wilson in this capacity and adj
vising him to appoint an committee
of four to work with him. Mr.
Baxter has selected as his assistants
F. A. Shultis, J. Bert Cowen, u. M
Flood and j. R. Wiley.
To Mr.. Baxter and his corps of
assistants has been given the task of
raising in one week 100000, which
is Boundary county's quota of the
500, 000,000.00 fund. At first
thought the amount looks like 8
pretty big sum, especially when il
must come from a community which
has but few who may be considered
wealthy. However, an energetic cam
paign will be launched at once tc
raise the money and a thorough can
vas of all parts of the county will be
made for subscriptions. The people

G. n. Wants Freight Increase

]. c. Maher, travelling freight
agent for the Great Northern rail-
way company, was in the city
interviewing local business men last
Tuesday in reference to the Is per
cent increase in freight rates the
Great Northern is requesting from
the Interstate Commerce commission.
Mr.. Maher states that the railway
company figures it is entitled to a
higher rate for freight inasmuch as
its operating expenses have in
creased to such an extent that even
with the Is per cent increase the
company's profits would be from
one to five million dollars less this
year than in previous years.
Charles O'Callaghan presents the
most logical view for a layman to
take in regard to the justice of al
lowing the railway companies an in
crease in freight rates when he says
"this matter is in the hands of q
commission whose duty it is to as
certain the amount of investment
and the earning capacity of the in
vestment. 1t is in a position
to get at facts which the rest of us
could hardly secure in a lifetime and
l am perfectly willing to leave tc
its best judgment whether or moi
the railway companies are entitled
to an increase.
