$4,000 REAL
ESTATE DEAL
KLOCKMANN BROS. PURCHASE
COLONY RANCH NEAR CITY
-e57 ACRES OF MEADOW
TRADE STANDPOINT HOTEL
Parties Will Take Possession the
First of March.

One of the largest real estate
transactions ever made in this dis
trict was made public today when A.
Klockmann, president and general
manager of the Idaho Continental
Mining Company, of Hickman,
Idaho, announced that he and his
brother, Carl Hickman, had pur-
chased of c. c. Howard what is
known as the Colony ranch of 957
acres, located some seven miles be-
low Boomers Ferry on the banks of
the Kootenai river.
The deal involves the trading of
the Idaho hotel at Standpoint, valued
at $4,000, to Mr.. Howard. The hotel
is a brick structure and has been
owned by Kloclmann Bros. for over
eight years. 1t is the leading hotel
of Standpoint and is strictly modern.
The ranch which the Klockmanns
acquire was sold for $4,000. They
also bought residence property in
Spokane of Mr.. Howard, for a con-
sideration of $4,000. Klockmann Bros.
also bought all of Mr.. Towards stock
and ranch equipment. Possession of
the properties will be given the first
of March.
Klockmann Bros. plan to improve
the ranch just purchased with all
necessary buildings and this spring
will pillow a considerable acreage and
reseed with timothy. They plan to
continue clearing work and will make
the ranch one of the most productive
cattle ranches of the county. They
expect to reclaim a large portion OF
the meadow land by ditching.
The Colony ranch was sold to Mr.
Howard some three years ago by
E. E. Elliott who had purchased il
some six years previously while he
was dean of the Idaho state agri-
cultural college at Moscow.
The property received its name
when a man by the name of McIn.
turf came to this district some
twelve or thirteen years ago anc
purchased a number of adjoining
farms and attempted to organize {
colony. McInturff posed as a re
ligious enthusiast and announced thai
only members of the church he was
organizing could enter into the CO.
operative farming scheme. McInturf1
held the property in his own name
soon became involved in financia
difficulties and lost the property. The
last heard of him here was that hi.
wife had started suit for divorce
from him in a town on the Oregon
coast.
The Colony ranch is considered on,
of the best pieces of meadow lane
along the banks of the Kootena
river and is not subject to so grea
overflow. Under the management
of the Klocl1mann Bros. the propert.
is certain to be greatly improved an,
to become one of the mode rancho
of this county. Hickman Bros
own a large ranch near Porthii
where they grow hay and rushes ant
raise cattle.

VEAT GUDBAUR
IS PROMOTED

Mr.. and Mrs. Gudbaur, of Cope
land, are in receipt of several letters
from their son, Veat, who is with
cavalry troop stationed at Douglas,
Ariz In a letter written January 2,
Veat told that he was just recovering
from an attack of diptheria and that
he had been in the base hospital for
two weeks. He writes: 81 am so
weak that l can't walk but l am
gaining fast and l guess I'll make
the grade yet before we go across
the pond" l may get a furlough
and come home sometime in Febru-
airy. 1t is pretty far though even
if a soldier does get a one cent rate.
| certainly would like to come home
for a visit before we go across. Two
regiments left here today. They are
the field artillery"
Veat wrote on January Goth that
he was still in the hospital. eve got
into a little skirmish itn the Mexi-
cans. They stole some of our horses
and ten of us volunteered to go get
them. We got they but they killed
two and wounded two others. They
killed my horse and got me through

the hospital one day when l got
plugged. Have to hobble on crutches
now.
81 sure would like to see the paper
from Bonners Ferry. Tell Leo he had
better enlist and get into the army
instead of waiting to be drafted.

Medical corps. The captain of the
Medical corps wants me to-"
In third letter written February
18th, Veat wrote that he was still in
the hospital but getting along fine.
Thanks for the money but you need
it more than l do and you know |

Ellen, think your place is at home
with Dad. These army camps are no
place for women. There are 30 nurses
here. The one that cares for my
ward is a princess. She works night
and day and is the best in the camp.
l expect to be back on duty within
week. There are surely a lot of
the boys dropping off here-as high
as ten a day. But you can't expect
them all to live.
Well, the captain told me today, that

my stripes; that is, three of them
Have had two of them for a long
time. / am trying to get to be

sure to get some money. | will send
my card for you to take care of.

member me by at payday time. The
Mexicans do some pretty silk work
and l may send some of it.

about what we are doing or goinl
to do, only that there is a grea-
change coming for the regulars"

Many New Cords Sold

C. W. Megquier, proprietor of the
Crescent Garage, states that the re
cent raise of $50 in the price of
Ford cars has caused a great rush
for cars the past week. Mr.. Meg
quier has another carload promised
for next month. Among the new
owners of Ford cars are the follow
ing: j. M. Billings, Copeland; Theo-
dore Perry, Bonners Ferry; Bottum

Mr.. Megquier returned Sunday
from a several days business trip
to Spokane and brought back with
him one of the new Ford ton trucks.
The trip to Spokane was made in
Megquier's REQ. j. l.. Nave drove
the truck in. Between Rathdrum

PROBABLEQUOTA
IS $l7O,OOO.OO

d. w. Davis, state chairman of the
United States liberty loan committee
of Idaho, has appointed F. A. Shultis
chairman for Boundary county in the
sprnig drive which the government
is scheduling for April. Mr.. Shultis
this week sent a letter to Mr.. Davis
accepting the appointment and for
second time he. will have charge of
liberty loan drive in Boundary
county.
A letter from Mr.. Davis informs
Mr.. Shultis that the prevailing opin
ion is that the next loan will be eight
billion dollars, as against three bill
lion asked for in the last drive. This
will mean that Boundary county will
have to subscribe for $4,000 worth
of bonds at least as compared to
$50 900 the last time.
Evidently the government is to
have no patience with slackers this
next drive and is planning to have
a record of every citizens ability
to buy bonds.
give to the liberty loan committee
accurate information from those who
are called upon to buy bonds. The
assessed valuation of all citizens will
appear upon these cards, the amount
of liberty bonds held, donations made
to Red Cross, Y. M. C. A, Y. w. C.
A., whether the Intercepted is a
member of the food conservation
league, how many war savings
stamps he has purchased, and wheth-
er there are any members of the
family in the war or navy. Some
of the counties intend to secure from
the assessor the assessed valuation
of each taxpayer.
The campaign will be conducted in
conjunction with the county Council
of Defense, and persons not subscrib-
ing in accordance with their means
will be reported to the Defense Coun-
Gil and means sought through that
agency to bring forth the amount
in correspondence to the wealth of
the individual. The nationality and
occupation of all persons will be re-
quired to be shown.
1t is evident that the government
will this time insist upon the pur-
chase of the bonds and that slackers
in this regard are going to have a
| hard time

Review Line Six Miles Long

In letter received here Friday
Capt. Spoerry writes from Camp
Lewis, Wash, that the troops had
just finished a review made by the
inspector general from Washington,
d. C. The inspector general will
probably determine when the troops
at Camp Lewis will be sent to
France. Capt. Spoerry states that
at was some mass of troops. We
began marching past the reviewing
officer at $3.50 a. m. and finished at
LA. m. We had about 10000 men
in line and the column of platoons
was about six miles long.
| was certainly disappointed the
other day when l learned that a
number of Bonners Ferry folks had
sent their binoculars to Washington,
d. c. We have to buy them here and
it is almost impossible to get any
for love or money. The manufac-
turers simply can't make them fast
enough so the officers are begging,
borrowing or stealing anything and
everything in the way Of glasses.
/ wish you would suggest that if any
other folks feel inclined to loan their
glasses l would certainly appreciate
their use. | would see to it that they
were returned after the war in case
l live to bring them back.
Can't tell you any news except
that / dug up a skeleton here the
other day. 1t was fully a hundred
years old. Probably an Indian skele-
ton. Saw Mrs. Lozier and Mrs. Grace
Hubble one day last week."

PATRIOTS MEET
ON WEDNESDAY
AT MASS MEETING AT X. p.
HALL ORGANIZE PATRIOTIC
LEAGUE OF CITIZENS
URGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND
Will Start Campaign for Member
ship Immediately.

The Defense Council committee
appointed by Chairman DeWolf to
arrange for the meeting at which
the Bonners Ferry Patriotic League
is to be organized, met Saturday
night and decided that the meeting
would be held Wednesday night, Feb
ruary 9th, at the X. P. hall. The
meeting will be called to order at
500 o'clock by Chairman DeWolf.
Every citizen of the town is urged
to attend this meeting. Every man
and woman in the town will be Wis
tied and asked to join the league.
The membership fee will be placed
at very low figure so that none
will have an excuse on this score.
All the money received from mem
bership fees will be used in Bound
airy county for patriotic work. Some
of it will be used in promoting
various work for the government and
some will be used to provide a fund
for the temporary use of needy wives
and families of soldiers.
The purpose of the Patriotic
League is mainly to assist the gov
eminent in carrying on the war in
Europe
At the meeting Wednesday night
Rev. DR.. Hawks, superintendent of
the Spokane district, Methodist Epis-
copal church, will deliver short
patriotic address and talks will be
made by County Attorney o. C. Will
son and Mrs. f. E. Murray. Most
of the evening will be devoted to
organization work including adoption
of rules and regulations, appointing
OF committees, etc. Rev. Hawks adj
dress will be short one, probably
occupying fifteen or twenty minutes.
He is an eloquent speaker and is
thoroughly patriotic and his talk
will be wei lworth hearing.
AS soon as the Bonners Ferry
league is organized it is proposed to
begin the organization of auxiliary
leagues in the various precincts of the
county. 1t S planned to have all the
auxiliary leagues effect their own
organizations and elect their own Off
GERS. The various leagues of the
county will work in conjunction with
each other and it is expected that a
great deal of good and patriotic work
will be accomplished through them.
Make it point to attend the or
ganization meeting Wednesday night.
II you have not taken an active part
In patriotic work of some sort up to
now, it is time you were getting on
the band wagon. Come, bring your
friends and be prepared to do any
work you are asked to do.
