NO INCREASE
IN BOUNDARIES

The proposal to enlarge the bound
aries of Boomers Ferry by special act
of the legislature, thereby taking in a
goodly portion of the Northside and
certain other districts, was quietly put
to sleep at a special meeting of the
city council which was held Thurs
day evening The quietus was given
the movement when Councilman O'Cal-
laghan moved the resolution be tabled
which was unanimously carried.
A number of Northside residents
were present to protest against the
movement and presented numerous
ly signed petition against pcorporat-
ing their district in the city limits
and after a statement by Councilman
O'Callaghan regarding the legality OF
the proposal the tabling action was
taken. Mr.. O'Callaghan stated that
after looking into the legal status OF
the proposal carefully, he was con
WINGED that though the state legisla-
ture should pass "a special act enlarg-
ing the boundaries of the city, such
action would be unconstitutional
stating that the supreme court haC
passed upon this question in a sim
liar case brought before it and hac
ruled that special acts of the legis
lature could be passed effecting cite:
whose charters had BEEN granted be
fore the state constitution was adopt
ed, but for all cities whose charters
have been granted after the adoption
of the state constitution. any action fol
the enlargement of such city's bound
aries must be taken as prescribed b!
the constitution. In view of the ques
tionable legality of the matter anC
the opposition from the Northside res
idents. the resolution was tabled Tit
councilmen present were Messrs
Meeker, O'Callaghan, Simonds and Nc
Nichols, with Meeker presiding in tn
absence of Chairman Henry.

Y. NJ. c. A. Secretary Here

f. Milton Runyan, district secre-
tary for the Y. Nj. c. A, with head
quarters at Portland Greg, was a
visitor in the city Wednesday, meet
ing with several business men and
war workers with a view of co-operat-
ing in after war construction work
and the handling of labor matters in
as-far as returned soldiers are con-
cerned. His territory covers the ten
northern counties of Idaho.
Mr.. Runyan stated that recently the
Y. NJ. c. A. has been subjected to Sc
we're but unmerited criticism con
corning its overseas work. In the
near future the Y. NJ. c. A. will pub
lish a series of newspaper articles in
which the work of the organization
and the difficulties it had TO contend
with will be explained. In the mean.
time the public is asked to withhold
judgment.
Mr. Runyan states that as an organi
zation the Y. NJ. c. A. has been very
highly commended by the highest mil
itary officials of the L. S. army in Ov
erseas service. The organization wal
placed in charge of the army canteel
service and in the beginning it seemed
necessary to charge more for supple
than the government commissary wa
charging because the government hat
failed at that time to keep its agree
ment to take care of transportation
and import duties.

WOULD HAVE
new CEMETERY

Many times in the past there has
ben talk in Boomers Ferry of trying
to secure new burial grounds which
could be kept up in good shape and
which could be easily reached
OF late o. r. Stookey has been
looking about for suitable new site
for burial grounds and several loca-
tions have been suggested.
In an interview with the Herald
representative yesterday Mr.. Stookey
said: There seems to be quite little
agitation among different ones in ia
vor of moving the cemetery and | am
sure that a more suitable location
could be found-One that is more ac-
cessible and where we could get wa
ter for the upkeep.
We all know the difficulties which
have been experienced in getting to
our cemetery in certain seasons of the
year and what ! believe is more i'm
portant, the trouble we have to get
anything to grow in the present GEM
etery on account of lack of water.
Amy number of people have been
after me the past couple of years to
start some movement towards securing
a new cemetery but owing to the I'M
certainty of conditions during the war
| have hesitated in bringing the sub
ject before the community / think
now that the war is over, we should
do something and do it right away,
before we bury any more of our rela-
tives and friends in the present GEM
etery and then have to go to the ex-
pense of moving them"
Mr.. Stookey has formulated some
plans relative to the forming of a
cemetery association. These plans
and perhaps the discussion of sites
will take place at a meeting to be held
at the commercial club rooms on
Friday night of this week and all peo-
pie interested in this movement are
requested to attend the meeting and
talk things over.

city as a whole, is also puzzling the
council. If the assessment is made
against the district, seventy percent OF
the property owners of the proposed
district must express their willingness
for such an assessment. If the cost
of paving the street and alley inter
sections is to be paid for by the city
as a whole then a bonding election
would have to be held. An effort is
now being made to secure the consent
of the property owners of the proposed
district to pay for street intersections.
The plans for street paving are not
without opposition and a remonstrance
is now being prepared which is to be
presented after the council has made
formal notice of intention to create a
special improvement district for paw
ing.

CYANIDE GOLD MINING OFFICERS
Company Planning To Install Cyanide
Plant i'm Near Future

The incorporators of the Cyanide
Gold Mining Company, Limited. met
Saturday at the offices of S. e. Henry
and the following officers were elected;
President, j. b. Ellis; vice president,
James La Fountain; secretary and
treasurer, George r. Causton.
The property of the company is on
Deer creek Immediate preparations
will be made for development work on
an extensive scale and a complete cya-
hide plant is to be installed. Only a
sufficient amount of stock is to be
sold to provide for necessary equip
ment to put the property on a paying
basis. This is unquestionably. one
of the most promising gold properties
in this part of the state. The assays
all show high percentages of gold
and with the cyanide plant installed
there is no question but that the gold
can be separated and saved. The
officers of the new company are men
of reliability and long experience in
gold mining and they have invested
heavily feeling certain that they will
soon reap big returns.

PATRONS DAY
THIS FRIDAY
PARENTS AND PATRONS INVITED
TO INSPECT SPECIAL DISPLAYS
IN THE SCHOOL ROOMS
HAVE THREE EACH YEAR

ent Kerr Patrons Day" is to be inaug-
urated in the schools of Independent
School District No. 4, the first to be
held Friday afternoon, January 81, be-
ginning at two o'clock.

gram. At this time special exhibit
lions of the work of the various de-
partments of the grade and high
school will be displayed. The par
ents are urged to come and consult
with the teachers in regard to the
school work of the children and it is
certain that cooperation in this re-
gard will tend to promote the progress
of the child and elevate the standard
of the school.
1t is highly important that this the
first patrons day" should be a sue
cess and everyone interested in the
welfare of our schools should make il
a point to attend The following
schedule will be observed:

be on the field the first of next month
TO make preliminary surveys. 1t is
proposed to construct the fiume this
spring from the Tormey sawmill to
the Copeland-Addie road At the in
tersection with the county road the
timber will be hauled by auto trucks.
to the railway sidings. The fiume will
follow Mission Creek from the mill to
the road. Probably about five miles
of fiume will be constructed this
spring but before many months it Is
proposed to extend the tiume until 1t
will be fourteen miles long.

NO MINORS IN POOL HALLS NOW
State Statute VIII Be Enforced in
BOnners Ferry Now

Last Wednesday Mike Miller was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Fry on the
charge of permitting a minor in his
pool hall. Miller plead guilty before
Probate Judge Henderson and was
hned $500 and costs. On Thursday
Sheriff Dunning arrested Jos. Ban
nlng on similar charge and he was
nned $500 and costs by Justice of the
Peace King.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson has
hotiiied the sheriffs' Office to arrest all
minors entering the pool rooms of the
CITY and also to arrest the proprietors.
IN many instances it is hard for the
proprietor to judge as to whether his
patrons are minors. The county at
!orney also holds that if a minor is
IN any part of a building used for a
pool or billiard room, the law of the
state has been violated.
Inc arrests above mentioned were
MADE in connection with the state
statute providing that no youth under
Z" years of age shall be permitted tc
remain in pool hall. The law also
provides against the playing of card
games for checks and conviction pro-
Vldes for the closing of the place OF
business.

ELIMINATE RAILROAD AVENUE
Major Anderson, OF Spokane, Hints OF
Great Northern Railway Activities

The question of paving Main street
and parts of adjacent side streets,
ELECTED considerable discussion at a
special meeting of the city council
held Thursday evening, at which were
present Councilmen Meeker, McNich-
OILS, O'Callaghan and Simonds. The
discussion was opened when Engineer
Cave, who had been commissioned by
the council to make surveys and an
estimate of cost, submitted his re-
port. The district under consider
alton in the report comprised Main
street from the first rail of the rail-
road to the county bridge; Bonner
street from the east line of First
street to the west line of alley east
of Main street; Kootenai street from
the west line of courthouse grounds
east to west line of Riverside at the
fire hall; Railroad avenue from the
kootenai Valley Produce store east to
west line of Riverside.
The total cost of paving this dis
trict. doing all necessary filling, and
building concrete walks where wooden
one now are-in fact, everything nee
essary for the complete paving of the
district, was estimated by Mr.. Cave
at $5S,000.00 and there would be TO-
500 square yards of paving in the dis.
trict. The engineer stated, however
that the cost given was the maximum
one and that the district could be
paved for a much smaller figure.
The report gave costs of different
kinds of paving, per square yard, as
follows:

INTRODUCES
TWO MEASURES

Last Wednesdays Boise Evening
News contained the following account
of the doings of the Idaho legislature
which will be interesting to the read
ers of the Herald:
After considerable debate the Mel
son bill, providing for the improve
ment of the navigation of rivers for
the floating logs, barges, etc, was
sent to the committee of the whole on
vote of % to IL North Idaho SEN
ators are strongly behind this meas
ure as it means much to the advance
ment of the lumber industry in that
section.
Senator Walker of Boundary coun-
ty, was on the firing line this morn
ing with bills drawn in the interests
of soldiers who took part in the war
He introduced two measures, Nos. 3S
and 80, the former providing for pref
erence being given in appointments
and the employment by the state. cOun-
ty and government of men who had
been in the service over other persons
of equal qualifications, and it further
provides that any physical disability
shall not disqualify them unless it is
of such a nature as to make them un'
able to perform the duties of the pos
ition. Another important section o.
the bill provides for the retirement o.
any soldier 70 years of age, who has
held public position for a period o.
10 years, and retires him on the same
salary as he received, but not to ex
coed $1,000 per annum.
His second measure provides exemp
tions for men who have been in thu
service and to their widows to the ex
tent of $4,000.
