W. F. KINNEAR WILL START
MEMS AND BOYS STORE HERE

w. F. Kinnear, until a few months
ago in the grocery business here, has
decided to remain in Bonners Ferry
and is planning to lease the middle
store-room of his fathers, w. L.
Kinnear, brick building on Main
street, where he will put in a stock
of mems and boys furnishings.
Mr.. Kinpear left Sunday for Spo-
kane where he will spend several
days making arrangements for parts
of the stock he intends to put in
here. He may go to Portland, Seat
tie, and other coast points before re-
turning here. 1t will be a month or
six weeks before he will be ready to
open up for business.
Mr.. Kinnear quit the grocery bus
mess with the intention of leaving
Bonners Ferry and going to the coast
to find a new location. He spent
some time looking over various
stocks and visiting different towns
and the more he looked and the
longer he visited the more convinced
he became that Bonners Ferry was
the best town of its size in the
northwest.
Mr.. Kinnear states that he feels
confident there is a demand in Bon
ners Ferry for an exclusive mems
and boys furnishings store and he
proposes to put in a large stock of
firstclass goods.
The plastering of the w. L. Kin
near block will soon be completed
and Contractor Estlund is now en-
gagged in putting in the fronts of
the three store buildings. H. B.
Kinnear is preparing to occupy the
south store room with his stock OF
hardware and farm implements. The
fixtures for Mr.. Kinnear's store are
now being placed. The north store
will be occupied by the Club Cigar
Store, Gust Anderson, proprietor.

Wilbur's vocal class sang several
pleasing numbers. Blanche Castle
was the May Queen. She walked I'M
der a lace canopy carried by her
bearers, Dorothy Muhlfeld, Dorothy
Hollinger, Eva Lindsey and Gumor
Northug. The last number was a
May Pole drill which was splendidly
executed. Every change and act was
precisely to the music. Special men
ton should be made of the piano
solos rendered by Eva May Little
William Fewkes, Eva Lindsey, Odet-
ia Castle, Catherine Croker anC
Dorothy Muhlfeld for their beauti-
full expression and technique. They
are very promising musicians. Re
freshments were served to all.

LEASE SHEEP
GRAZING LAND
SHEEP COMPANY
WILL TEST WINTER FEEDING
ON BOTTOM LANDS
WILL SHIP In 10000 SHEEP
A. ]. Kent Arranges for Leases of
Grazing Lands.

T. F. Boylen, of the Pendleton
Sheep Company, Pendleton, Greg,
was in this district several days last
week and in company with A. ].
Kent, visited several sections of the
county and contracted for grazing
ground upon which some 10000
head of sheep will be herded this
season.
Leases were taken upon grazing
grounds in the Buckhorn, Queen
Mountain, Badly Mountain, Grouse
Greek, Mission Creek districts and
large acreage of ground was leased
along the east side of the Moyie
river from the Boomers Ferry Lum-
Der Company. Mr.. Boylen will re-
turn here soon and is anxious to take
leases for grazing lands on the east
side of the Kootenai river. Section
10 at Moyie Springs, was leased
from A. j. Kent and will be used for
loading and unloading purposes. The
sheep will be shipped here in about
10 or II days.
Messrs. Boylen and Kent also made
arrangements to lease bottom lands
in the Copeland and Porthill dis
tricts from Messrs. Montgomery,
Ames, and others. This fall Mr..
Boylen will turn his sheep onto the
bottom lands after the hay has been
cut and will make experiments to
determine whether or not the sheep
can be cheaply and successfully win
tered in this district.
In Oregon the sheep men are given
very cheap leases for grazing lands
in timbered districts. 1t has been
proven that the sheep protect tim
bered districts against fire because
they eat and destroy so much of the
small undeIbrush in which the for
est fires are apt to start. In Oregon
the sheep herders are made fire
wardens and this plan has proven
very successful.
Mr.. Boylen has been shipping his
sheep into this district for severa
years for summer grazing. If i
can be determined that the sheer
may be wintered on the bottom lands
with rush hay it is very probabl,
that the Pendleton Sheep Compan,
will make their headquarters in thi
district and Boundary county viii
secure another big business interest

Must Buy Bonds

Chairman De Wolf, of the county
defense council, has just received
word from Jos. Hansen, secretary
of the Idaho State Defense Council,
in which it is announced that the
state council has determined to in
sist upon the publication of the
names of all persons vino are able
and who do not buy Liberty bonds
and the branding of such persons as
unpatriotic.
The recently secured war census
blanks are being ta5ulated and in a
few days the county defense coun-
ell will have at hand complete data
of the patriotic work of most of the
citizens of the county.

CARS
GET THROUGH

Two large consignments of booze
were taken through Boundary county
Sunday and were captured in Bon
ner county by Sheriff Remer and
his deputies. The booze was taken
through here from Troy, Mont, in
large touring cars.
The first car went through this
city about four o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Sheriff Dunning had been in
formed that shipments of booze were
to come through this way and he
prepared to catch them by putting
up a barricade on the Shavelear hill
road. The booze car went through
Main street and up the hill road
at a speed of about 35 miles an hour
and Sheriff Dunning's barricade was
scattered in several different diTec-
tions when the car struck it. Dunn
ing fired at the car but the driver
kept right on going. The two occu-
pants of the car unloaded and cached
their booze before going to Sand
point.
The second car passed through the
city about two o'clock Sunday after
noon. The sheriff did not know that
it was coming and so made no effort
to stop it. This car was also stopped
at Standpoint and quantity of whis-
key confiscated.
Saturday afternoon Town Marshal
Bangs raided the Riverside hotel ano
found a quantity of whiskey in the
room of the proprietor, Dellis Col
Inns, who is believed to be leasing the
place from Mrs. S. j. Smith. Bangs
went to County Attorney Wilson tt
get a warrant for Collins and al
order to close up the hotel and in the
meantime Collins skipped. The au
thorities have not decided what step!
they will take in this case.

PETITION FOR
CHAPTER HERE
LOCAL RED CROSS WORK Frs
WOULD ORGANIZE BOUND
AIRY COUNTY CHAPTER
ACCOMPLISH BETTER RESULTS
Work Done Entities County to a Sep
arate Chapter.

A petition circulated by local Red
Cross workers and signed by some
200 Boomers Ferry people, in which
the American Red Cross organiza
ton is asked to allow Boundary
county to organize as chapter, was
sent yesterday to Mrs. H. A. Gale,
at Seattle, to be presented by her, if
she thinks best, to Earl Fitzpatrick,
director of the bureau of develop
ment, American Red Cross, North
west Division, in support of her per-
sonal request for permission for the
Boundary county Red Cross workers
to organize a chapter Independent of
the Bonner county chapter at Sand
point.
The petition was circulated by Mrs.
l.. N. Brown, Mrs. Belle Bishop, Miss
Goldie Cave, Every person who had
an opportunity, signed the petition.
The petition was not circulated until
Saturday afternoon and there was
not time to see every one in Boomers
Ferry and no time in which to have
similar petitions circulated through
out the county.
Local Red Cross workers have ev-
cry reason to believe that their pc
tition will be granted In their eff
fort to have a chapter organized
in this county they believe that
Boundary county people will take
more interest in the work and will
do more for the organization than
they would working as an auxiliary
to the Standpoint chapter; that more
members can be secured for a Boun-
Diary county chapter than for a Bon
ners Ferry auxiliary chapter; that
many auxiliary chapters would be
formed in all parts of the county if
the work could be handled through
county chapter.
The Boomers Ferry auxiliary now
has membership of 955. The WORK
it has done and is doing more thar
entities the district to organize as
an Independent chapter. The Off
GERS and workers of the local aux
iliary state that their relations will
the Standpoint chapter have beer
more than pleasant during the pas
year and it is not on account of an!
friction between the auxiliary ant
the chapter that prompts the desir'
to secure the proposed Boundar!
county chapter.
Mrs. Gale, chairman of the loca
Red Cross auxiliary, left Friday eve
ming for Seattle where she will spent
the week attending the Red Cros
institute for the northwest division

cover the Top"

Boundary County went over
the top in the Third Liberty
Loan drive.
This morning Chairman
Shultis, of the Third Liberty
Loan drive, stated that the
committee was showed under
with the accumulation of sub
scriptions and that it was i'm
possible to give the exact
amount subscribed or the ex-
act number of people sub
scribing. He estimates that
$4,000 worth of bonds were
taken in this county and that
this amount was subscribed
for by about 800 people.
The honor flag for Bound
airy county was unfurled last
Wednesday and is flying in
front of the drive headquar-
tiers, the Kootenai Valley
commercial club rooms. This
is an emblem of which every
citizen in the county should
be proud.

Will Thresh All Grain

From a number of sources it has
come the the Herald that owners of
bottom land in the Kootenai valley
have been worrying considerable
about whether or not they could get
grain threshed this fall inasmuch as
there is being so much additional
acreage put in this season.
The Herald is informed that Polzin
Bros. have a large equipment now
and if necessary will buy larger
machine as they have an engine
which is capable of running larger
thresher. At any rate they are
guaranteeing that all grain harvest
ed will be threshed and the work
will be done promptly.
