HURRY WORK AT
WHITES CAMPS

A c. White, the wellknown lum-
herman of Laclede, was in the city
Friday on his way home after hav-
ing spent several days at the Col
ony, a few miles below town, where
he is putting in a sawmill and log
ging railway.
Mr.. White has been operating a
camp south of Bonners Ferry for
over a year past. Mr.. Kitchin is
foreman Of the camp and is en-
ploying between 50 and 40 men. The
logs being taken out are loaded at a
spur on the Great Northern and are
being shipped to Laclede. There is
about two million more feet of tim
Der to be cut at this camp and just
now Mr.. White is employing between
five and six cedar makers at the
camp. AS soon as the timber south
of town is cut the men will be trans
ferred to the Colony camp where Mr..
White has purchased enough timber
to keep a good sized crew cutting
for several years.
At the Colony about five miles of
logging railway has been graded and
is ready for ties and rails. A crew
of about 20 men is employed put
ting up the sawmill and it is expect
ed that this mill will be ready for
operation in about two months. The
pine which is to be cut in the dis
trict surrounding the Colony will be
shipped to Laclede where it will be
manufactured into window and door
frames, A. c. White being one of the
largest manufacturers of X. d. win
dow and door frames in the western
states. The timber which is not
suitable to be manufactured into
frames will be handled by the saw
mill now being erected and will be
cut into ties and railway material.
In the buying of timber in this
district and in the erection of a saw
mill and the construction of camps
A. c. White is investing and bring
ing into Boundary county a large
sum and the camps which he
will operate means for this district
another large payroll a large por-
ton of which is certain to be spent
in the county.

$62.2O
FOR Y. W. c. A.

Mesdames Belle Bishop, T. j. Hol-
linger and u. S. Crowder, members
of the committee in charge of the
Y. w. c. A. drive in Boundary coun-
ty, closed the soliciting campaign
Wednesday after having secured
$6220. The quota of Boundary coun-
ty was only $50.
The members of the Y. w. G. A..
committee organized the town into
districts and each member made a
personal canvass in one of the dis
tricts. No subscription of over $1.00
was taken. Many people were not
seen or given an opportunity to sub
scribe but these will probably be
given chance in the near future as
many campaigns for the future
months are now being planned in
national headquarters. Following are

newspapers. No. l., Vol. l of the
Troy Miner, of which l.. j. Thomas

port as we'll as sport her two news

Good Entertainment Saturday

One of the best entertainments
which have been given in Bonners
Ferry in some time was that given
at the X. p. hall Saturday night
under the auspices of the Boomers
Ferry Music Club. The program of
the evening was given under the di-
rection of Prof. Perry. Miss Schnasse,
of Standpoint, delighted the audience
with two vocal numbers. Each num-
Der on the program was thoroughly
enjoyed and it was generally ex-
pressed that when another program
is given by the Music Club there
will be larger but not a more APP
preciative audience.
After the program most of the
crowd stayed to enjoy a dance, the
music for it being furnished by
Maughan's orchestra. The playing of
the new orchestra in its program
numbers and for the dance brought
many very favorable comments and
it is likely that the organization
will be called upon to play frequent
ly in this district.
Prof. Perry is anxious to secure
new members for the Music Club and
the money which is taken in at the
entertainments given by the club will
be used in bringing to this citv some
of the best musical talent of nearby
cities

Bonners Ferry Lumber Company this
summer and will play with the local

Spokane in the near future where
he hopes to induce a good catcher to
come here to locate. Fritts states
that nearly all last years players
will be available this year and that
with Mcnamara in the pitchers
box the local team will be strong
