GRAY PLANS
IMPROVEMENT
THIRD STORY WILL BE ADDED TO
THE GEORGE r. GRAY BLOCK
ON MAIN STREET
LOBBY ON THE FIRST FLOOR
III Necessary VIII Add Fourth Story
Parks Has Contract

This week George II. Gray, owner
of the Gray block, occupied by L. N
Browns department store on the first
floor and the Commercial Hotel on the
second floor, announced that he had
arranged to add another story to mis-
brick building in order to give Pro-
prietor Driscoll of the Commercial
hotel, the enlarged quarters which the
business of the hostelry now de-
mands. The proposed remodeling of
the Gray block will mean the expendi-
ture of several thousand dollars. ID.
w. Parks has the contract for the re-
modelling.
The plans now being worked out
provide for a spacious lobby for the
Commercial hotel on the first floor.
1t is proposed to make this lobby about
10 by 60 feet, this space to come from
the south side Of the building which is
now occupied by l.. n. Browns depart
ment store. A new stairway Will be
built in the lobby.
The construction of the third story
will not be difficult or expensive for
when Mr.. Gray first built he had foun-
dations laid to support at least four
stories and he now states that as soon
as conditions demand it he will con-
struct the fourth story.
The walls for the third story are al
ready up with the exception of few
feet of the rear end and the back
wall IL is possible that a large por-
tion of the present roof can be used
again to advantage.
All the rooms on the third floor will
be outside rooms, large and airy and
will be steam-heated and have hot and
cold water. The furnishings will be
installed by Proprietor Driscoll and
he is planning to get the best on the
market. The lobby viii be fitted with
substantial and comfortable furniture.
The fact that the Commercial hotel
has never had first floor lobby for
the use of its patrons has always been
considered a back. However,
when Mr.. Gray has finished his plans
for the building Bonners Ferry will
be able to boast of as good a hotel as
is found anywhere in a town of the
same size

legislature of 1915. His home is at
Standpoint in North Idaho, a location,
which 1t is pointed out, should mean
something in the next nominating con-
test as the other republican senator.
William E. Borah, is from South Idaho.
at is said of Captain Conner that
he is one of the few political possi-
bilities in North Idaho who can claim
an acquaintance and following to any
extent in the southern part of the
state.
1T will be several weeks before he
can leave the hospital permanently, at
which time he contemplates returning
to Standpoint to resume the practice of
law Captain Conner, however, is
not the only soldier candidate men
toned for the senate seat now held by
John F. Nugent, democrat. Col. f.
c. Davis, formerly of Boise, but now
on the general staff of the army, and
detailed to the war college, is another
possible candidate for the republican
nomination"

District No. IA Buys Acreage

A deal was concluded this week by
the board of trustees of School Dis
trict No. IA, Northside, whereby they
purchased of DIR. E. f. Fry the acre
tract east of the schoolhouse grounds
for a consideration of 100000. This
is considered a good buy on the part
of the trustees as the ground is now
needed for play purposes and would be
greatly needed in case any addition
is required for the present school
house. DIR. Fry secured the tract
some time ago for a hospital site.

PARKER BOOSTS THIS COUNTRY
Successful and Experienced Stockman
Praises Boundary County

f. N. Parker, owner of the I Y
Stanley ranch about four miles west
OF town, considered one of the hest
bottom ranches of the district and
Mrs. Parker, plan to leave soon for
their former home in Spokane where
Mr, Parker Will again enter the com
mission business. Mr.. Parker is to-
day selling his stock and farm imple-
ments at public auction and l. Causton
is handling the sale.
Mr.. Parker is a good booster for
boundary county and in his business
in Spokane will be able to speak good
words about this country.
He has followed the stock-raisine
business all his life and has been over
the best stock countries of the west
and now after living for less than a
year in this district, he claims it
is the ideal country for the stockman.
The only reason that he is leaving is
because he feels that at his age he is
entitled to a less strenuous life. He
bought the Stanley ranch for his bows
who were in the service of Uncle Sam
but they had better opportunities else
where and were not inclined to tackle
ranching
I Mr.. Parker states that he knows nd
district where the stockman can be
as certain of forage and hay for his
herds as here where tame grasses
grow so abundantly and where there
is so much cheap feed in the way OF
the bottom land rushes. He wants
to recommend this country to any man
wanting to get start in the stock on
dairying business.
! Mr.. and Mrs. Parker made many
friends here during their short So
journ and the general feeling is that
the county is losing valuable citizens
on account of their going to Spokane
