Requiring More Room

The Boomers Ferry Meat company
has leased the entire w. II. James
building with the exception of the por-
ton used for the real estate office of
y. F. McGlocklin, and will take pos
session at once. The firm is putting
in number of new fixtures in order
to care for increasing business and
found that half of the building was
not sufficient
This means that the Bonners Ferry
public library will have to have new
quarters and the committee of the
Readers Club in charge of the library
are now looking for suitable and con-
venient place. 1t is possible that the
library will be moved to the Fitzpat-
rick building next TO the room now oc-
cupied by the Red Cross headquarters.

City Council in Session

The city council was in session
last Tuesday with the expectation of
looking further into the paving ques-
ton but because the paving petitions
that are being circulated were not
ready to be submitted, the matter
was laid over until the next meeting.
Another matter considered by the
council was what action should be
taken to stop the cutting of the river
bank directly west of the S. l. bridge,
which is seriously endangering a
street and also the county road at
that point. Surveyor Cave reported
to the council, after investigation,
that it would be necessary to drive
three rows of piling part of the dis
tance and two rows the balance, then
place brush mats between the piling
and weight the brush down. This
would collect silt during high water
and eventually the cutting would be
stopped. This plan was successfully
used several years ago between the
county bridge and the S. /. The en-
gineer estimated the work would cost
from $4,000 to $500, and as the city
has no funds for so expensive a piece
of work the method suggested coulC
not be executed at present. Instead
a committee was appointed consist
ing of Councilmen McNichols, Meekel
and O'Callaghan to look into the
matter and see if some other plar
could not be adopted to relieve this
trouble. The county stands ready
to protect it's part of the bank wher
the city does likewise.

START SURVEYS
FOR ROAD WORK

After authorizing work looking to
certain road improvements and trans
acting other county business, the
county commissioners adjourned last
week to meet at the next regular
session. The county surveyor was
instructed to make surveys for
suitable road from the Copeland fer
ry to the Copeland sawmill He was
also instructed to make the necessary
surveys for widening the road now
running through the Squirting, Fisher
and former Fitzpatrick ranches, the
latter place now being also owned by
Mr.. Squirting. This looks to the
widening of the present road from
Is to 80 feet.
met a misunderstanding regarding
the automobile to be furnished the
county agent. This machine will at
all times remain the property of the
county and will be furnished the
county agent only for his use while
employed in the duties of his office.
The commissioners also state that
while they met some criticism, there
| is nevertheless much commentator
being given them for employing the
county agent, especially since his
services are secured at such low
cost to the county
Complaint has also been lodged
with the commissioners relative to
Transfers driving at a fast trot
across the county bridge. The com
missioners insist that teams crossing
the bridge must be held to a walk
to comply with the law, and that this
law will be enforced against violators
as well as against too fast driving
by autoists.
! The commissioners took action
which placed the county in position
to call for bids for pile driving along
the river bank west of the S. /.
bridge, where there is danger the
road may be destroyed by the cutting
of the river. This work, however,
must be done in conjunction with
the city. The city must first, in a
like manner, protect street above
the county road 1t seems the city
is not in a financial position to do
this work now, and the commission
els are therefore holding up the let
ting of this contract.

pened the past week, two of them quite
serious ones. Last Saturday Joe Hill,

tween two of the logs and both bones
were broken a short distance above
the ankle. He was brought to the
Boomers Ferry hospital for treatment,
Yesterday about noon Pete Curley
received a dislocated shoulder and a
bad cut on the forehead. While he
was loading ties in the Great North
ern yards he slipped and fell, the tie
he was carrying on his shoulder
causing the injury. He was able to
walk to the doctors Office and will
be around again in due time.
K. H. Martin, employed by the Idaho
Continental Mining company as one
of the operators of the company S
aerial tram at Porthill, is at the Bon
ners Ferry hospital suffering with
fractures of both arms and dislo-
Gated shoulder. The accident which
caused the injuries happened week
ago Saturday In some manner Mr.
Martin was caught in the betting OF
one of the machines and was hurled
through space of not more than II
inches between the floor and the
wheel 1t was,a great miracle that hi
was not killed outright He is re
ceiving the best of care at the hospita

Destroys 1900 Bushels
of Potatoes and Plant

Monroe, La, Dec. 14.-Seventeen
thousand bushels of sweet potatoes
together with the storehouse and cur
ing plant of the Ouachita Sweet Po-
tato Curing Company were destroyed
by fire which started late Friday
night. The curing house was air.
tight, with walls about two feet thick
and divided into several compart-
ments, which made it almost impos-
sible to extinguish the flames. The
loss on the plant is about $4,000.
The tubers belonged to farmers who
intended to sell them in the spring
when the price would have beea con-
siderably higher than now. The ex-
plosion of one of the several gas
heaters used in curing the potatoes is
supposed to have caused the fire.
Buildings and contents were partially
covered by insurance.
A company known as the Southern
Sweet Potatoes Company is now be-
ing organized here to can, cure and
store sweet potatoes and can other
small vegetables. Application for a
charter with an authorized capital of
$4,000 has been asked for and the
plant is expected to be ready for OPP
Grafton by next spring.

BOOZE, SMOKING AND
NO WORK OR SLEEP

London, Dec. 15.-By communi-
eating with her late lamented hus-
band, Kentish widow says she has
been able to obtain an accurate de-
scription of Heaven, which she re-
lates at length in the Weekly Dis
patch. ].
She has been told that Heaven is
not a dry Paradise, and that smok-
ers can obtain special brand of to-
bacco, but her husband has given up
smoking because he does not like the
heavenly mixture.
When her family coachman reach
ed Heaven he as so distressed not to
find beer of the earthly variety that
he was given a substitute with which
he has become thoroughly satisfied.
The widow says:
"People there generally wear long
white garments, but they may vary
their drapery if they choose. They
do not sleep, neither do they eat, ex-
cept occasionally little fruit.
''In Heaven there is no work as
we know it. The people there par
ticularly dislike being asked trivial
questions, although they have their
own practical jokes. Everyone is
happy and everything is bright"

Service Men Need
No 1919Pon Tax

Service men honorably discharged
since January l., 1919, need not pay
poll tax for 1919 to vote in the pri-
mary next month. Men discharged
in 1913 may vote on payment of the
1919 poll tax. Such was an opinion
rendered Wednesday by the attor-
new generals department, through L.
E. Hall, assistant attorney general.
This applies to men who enlisted
after January /, 1916.
Governor Halls opinion came in
answer to a letter from Harry p.
Gamble, manager of the Parker gu
bernatorial campaign, asking infor-
nation on the status of discharged
service men relative to payment Of
the poll tax, because of different
views held as to the intent of Article
1913 of the Constitution on the sub
ject.
This article exempts persons who
enter military service after
the first day of January, 1915, and
who have since been honorably dis
charged, provided that such persons
shall pay all pot taxes assessed
against them after said discharge. :,
The crux of the opinion is the word
assessor IN CHe drIIC40 VI bhc OVn.
stitution referred to. Judge Hall
said:
"There is no statute which specifi-
cally provides for an assessment of
poll taxes as distinguished from the
levy of such taxes made by Article
1913, which already imposes tax OF
one dollar for each calendar year on
every male resident of the state be-
tween the ages of ri and 60 years.
at becomes clear that the clause
cannot have certain and uniform ap.
plication unless the word assessed"
as used be construed as having the
meaning of levied The time when
/ poll taxes for any year may be said
to be levied is the first day of Jan
uary of each year"
Judge Halls further opinion was
that production of a certificate of
discharge, or in event of its loss
proper affidavits, should be notice to
election officials of the mans COM
potency to vote, according to the
time of his enlistment and discharge
mad as otherwise qualified.
