ENGAGE 1920 LYCEUM COURSE
Local Association Secure Excellent At
fractions for the Coming Season

Members of the Bonners Ferry Ly-
ceum association, met Saturday with
Mr.. White, of the Ellison-White Ly-
ceum Bureau and entered into a con-
tract for the 1919 attractions offered
This year the local lyceum associa-
ton is considerably in the hole as
the lyceum numbers have not been
patronized as well as was expected
and the season ticket sale was small
on account of the influenza epidemic
which was visiting Bonners Ferry
about the time of the first lyceum num-
Der.
The association has selected higher
priced attractions for the coming year
and in their efforts to give Bonners
Ferry people highclass entertainment
should have the hearty cooperation of
every citizen. For 1890 there will
be three numbers. One will be the
famous Welch humorist, Arthur Wal
wyn Evans, one will be Burnett r
Ford, electrical scientist in phenomin-
al and spectacular electrical demon
STATIONS and the third will be ladies'
quartette of singers and musicians
The Morrison Girls in Stories and
Songs of Yesterday"
These three attractions have been
most highly recommended and the as
sociation feels that it has selected en-
tertainers who will please and who
will be appreciated by Bonners Ferry
audiences.

ROAD APPROPRIATION
VIII Get $4,000 from the State for
Permanent Highway Construction

Appropriations for roads will reach
large total during the present ses-
sion of the legislature because OF the
increasing amount of the federal aid
funds and the necessity of completing
plans in Idaho at once as part of the
scheme to produce labor markets in
the state.
With the appropriation early last
week of a road appropriation bill di-
rect levy of two mills is in sight for
the building of permanent highways
This levy would produce S1,SOO,OOo
and be divided throughout the state
In addition to this there is pending
legislation which would make it pos
sible for county commissions to raise
at least s1.25 on every 500 in valua-
ton. for the same purpose. This lat
ter legislation comes in the form OF
three different bills.
With the passage of the two mill
levy for road work Boundary county
would receive about $4,000. rms
sum would have to be used in the COM
pletion of the Panhandle highway ana
the county would have to put up an
equal amount.

Return From Camp Lee, Va.

Joe Neumeyer, who was discharged
at Camp Lee, Va, on February Sth, ar
rived here Wednesday night and left
for his home near Porthill
Nine Boomers Ferry boys were in train
ing at Camp Lee, including Leonard
Butler, who also returned Wednesday
and Helmer Bangs who arrived here
yesterday after having spent several
days at Wallace visiting with rela-
tives. These boys are all looking
fine and seem to feel that they have
had experiences well worth the hard
ships and inconvenience.
Neumeyer showed his friends pic
ture taken at Camp Lee called the
Living Uncle Sam and which was
participated in by the local soldiers
The picture fully represents Uncle
Sam as he is continually cartooned
and the outlines and all the shading
effects were produced by 10000 men
and officers who were grouped after
three hours work. The Bonners Fer
ry men have been stationed at Camp
Lee since last Thanksgiving and were
ready to be sent overseas when the
armistice was signed. in fact several
thousand men were on transports and
were ordered back

THREE SHOTS
AT s. |. MAN

Last Friday afternoon while r. Tab
or was attending to his duties as sec
ton foreman for the Spokane Interna-
uonal Railway in the vicinity of the
Alva Fry ranch, some one fired three
shots at him with high power rifle
Tabor went home and got his rife and
made detour of the vicinity but did
not find the fellow who had done the
shooting. The matter was reported
to the sheriff's office next day and an
investigation was made. Tracks were
found and the man who did the shoot
ing had gathered up the discharged
shells The authorities have evidence
IN connection with the matter.
The first shot was fired at Tabor
While he was riding on the company
sspeeder and came so close to him that
ne felt the wind of the bullet. He
stopped his car and hollered in the
direction of the shooting, thinking
some one was shooting without knowl-
edge OF the danger of shooting some
person. Another shot was fired and
struck the speeder, tearing off a board
ana throwing it against Mr.. Tabor
VINO started up his speeder and made
LOT town. A third shot was fired then
RAZOR stated to the authorities that
ne could not account for the shoot
ing as he has no enemies that he
knows of.

tween Copeland and Addie

Tho county commissioners are plan

,5ith the forest. service in the securing
81 good roads for Boundary county

now hoard was to instruct County
Clerk Brody to write Forest Super
visor Fitzwater, of Standpoint, inviting
him IN come here and confer with the
commissioners in regard to road mat
tors Mr.. Fitzwater will probably
no here to meet with the commission
ers at their regular meeting March 10
This week County Clerk and Audi
TOR ]. B. Brody received letter from
Forest Supervisor Fitzwater in which
he gives some good news in regard to
road building in this county and states
that the forest service will have avail
able this year $4,000 for road con-
struction between Addie and Copeland
Mr.. Fitzwater's letter follows
81 am very glad to advise you that
$4,000 has been allotted for the Adj
die-Copeland road project.
1--WE have been working on this pro-
iect for the last four years and at last
the money has arrived. $4,000 has
already been deposited and an addition
al $4,000 will be available some time
after July 1st. This project, as you
know, contemplates the construction
of the road from approximately the
Danquist place in the SEA, Sec. &c
Twn. 65 ~, r. l East, to the Hill road
somewhere in the vicinity of the Park
er mill. This will, roughly estimated
require seven miles of road, five miles
inside the forest reserve and two miles
outside. The forest service will fur
nish the survey and handle the con-
struction on the ground. The county
will be required to put up sufficient
funds to build the two miles of road
outside the forest reserve, which will!
probably cost between two and three
thousand dollars. If the entire ten
thousand dollars is not needed for the
five miles of road it can be spent on
other portions of the road to bring
such portions up to the standard, par
ticularly that portion which crosses
the meadows on the old Drumheller
place where gravelling is very badly
needed"
1t is quite likely that the forest SER
vice will cooperate and render finan-
cial assistance to the county in other
road building and road improvement
projects.

WILL OPEN new
LUMBER CAMP
B0NNERS FERRY LUMBER COM
PANY WILL ANNOUNCE LOCA-
TI0N in A FEW DAYS
WILL LOG DURING THE SUMMER
Open Winter Necessitates Use of Mo-
tor Trucks This Summer

The Boomers Ferry Lumber company
is now working out plans for a new
logging camp and the site will be chos-
en- and announced within the next few
days. The company owns several
large tracts near Bonners Ferry and 1t
lis merely a question of which il would
be best to cut the coming season.
The new camp will be rail camp
and the logs will be brought to the mill
on the Spokane International and the
Great Northern. The past soft winter
is responsible for the fact that the
company will do summer logging and
this will be the first season in his SO
years experience that Manager Mccoy
has not been able to get logs for the
summer saving in the winter season
The sawmill of the Bonners Ferry
Lumber company will begin opera
lions about the usual time, March 18th
and a full seasons run will be made
with one shift.
Owing to the soft weather Camp 10
was closed down a couple of weeks
ago but this camp will be reopened as
soon as the roads can be used for auto
trucking. Mr.. Mccoy states that two
or possibly four trucks will be used
for double shift hauling the logs now
on skids at Camp 10. ]. A. Jacoby
returned last week from Portland, Ore.
where he looked over and made bids
on lumber auto trucks which the gov
eminent had used in its spruce pro-
duction work. There were thousands
of peices offered and many thousand
bids were received.
The local company is now cutting
some cottonwood and has contracted
for more, in all amounting to about
a half million feet This is a new
experiment. The lumber will be dis
posed of to box manufacturers for
butter boxes, etc.
A new dry shed is now being built
on the mill site by the lumber COM
pany and will be ready for use this
spring. This shed has dimensions of
154 by 400 feet.
Mr.. Mccoy states that the company
is not planning any special improve
ments and there is no likelihood that
a new Office building will be con-
structed this year.

MUST HAVE
LENA BRIDGE

Every citizen of the LENA distric.
is hot on the trail in the interests of
the proposed new bridge across the
koOtenai river at Lenia and an organi
cation, with membership of 70, has
been formed for the sole purpose of
working to secure a bridge.
w. A. Ghur, formerly a merchant and
the postmaster of Lenia, was a bushes i
visitor in town Friday and stated that
the LENA people feel they will get fav-
orable action from the Montana legis.
lature on bill appropriating $4,000
for the bridge. A similar bill has been
sent to Representative Kent to be pre-:
scented to the Idaho legislature. The
Lenia people have been assured that if
Idaho and Montana appropriate 500, 900
jointly for the new bridge that the
forest service will put up at least
$4,000 and it is believed that Boundary
and Lincoln counties will, in this case
appropriate $4,000 each. This pro-
vides $4,000 which is the estimated
cost of a wooden bridge with concrete
piers which would be made strong
enough to support steel bridge.
Mr.. Ghur said, There is an urgent
need for a bridge at Lenia which can
not be apprehended except by those
on the ground who know conditions
There is at least $4,000 worth of cedar
posts and poles and ties now cut and
waiting for transportation across the
Kootenai and it is a conservative esti
mate that there is $780, 900 worth of
timber, cedar poles and posts and
ties within a radius of seven miles of
Lenia on the northside. This cOun-
try would all be opened up and many
fine farms could be developed if there
was a way to connect with railway
transportation. Since 1912 Boundary
and Lincoln counties have spent over
$20,610 in building and operating ex
penses in connection with the LENA
ferry"
Within the past week a number of
Boomers Ferry people have written
the Boundary county delegation in the
legislature asking that every effort be
made to secure the appropriation asked
for the proposed Lenia bridge.
Mr.. Guhr telephoned to the Herald
this Afternoon that he had just received
word that the Lenia bridge appropria-
ton of $4,000 had been passed by the
Montana legislature. He has had a
letter from Senator Walker and every
effort will be made to pass a similar
bill in Idaho. The Lalia residents are
jubilant over the action of the Montana
legislature and fel that they have a
fine start towards the successful out
come of their plans to secure the much
needed bridge across the kootenai.
