AM | MY BROTHERS, KEEPER"

port of a meeting held at Boomers
Ferry, Idaho, July 20:
Moved and seconded that we

Carried.
Moved and seconded that we go
on strike for seven days. Carried
Moved and seconded that if
this seven day strike does not

use job action. Carried.
Job action" can have put one mean

of theft and murder should that same

Labor, in some of its guises, does
not recognize the debt it owes capital
for providing the work that gives it
bread.
Labor" cries the bolshevist and l.
w. w. founded all capital. Give la
Dor it's reward"
There is no doubt that part of this
is true In the beginning, one mans
labor, wisely directed, must have given
him the means to sustain another
member of society while the member
without means of sustenance labored.
Perhaps the one who labored for the
other merely followed the path of the
least resistance, knowing that the
fruits would never be so great as had
he labored for himself. One man
perhaps, saw opportunity, where the
other man saw ease.
: Did YOU ever hear of any group OF
, laboring men going into any of the
: virgin fields of a new country, with

efforts so that they might reap the
benefits of their toll?
: You did not.
: Did you ever hear of any group o
Z laboring men with means to sustain
= themselves until their work showed
= return, going into new fields and de
veloping their opportunities for thei
own gain?
You did not.
e What happens? Capital goes ahead
9 it sees the opportunity for develop

ests of the new; it sustains the worke

IS Did labor ever stop to think that

Large Crowds Present and Enjoy Day
OF Pleasant Recreation

What is probably the first Labor
Day" celebration ever held in this
city, was enjoyed yesterday by the
citizens of Bonners Ferry, the cele-
bration being under the auspices of
the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lum-
bermen. There was a basket dinner
at the noon hour and speaking and
ball game in the afternoon while in the
evening all enjoyed the dance given at
the X. p. hall.
All the plans of the day were carried
out without a hitch and everyone ap-
parently enjoyed the recreation and
outing.
The picnic was held on the city park
grounds on the Northside where ia
bles and benches had been made from
lumber furnished by the Boomers Ferry
Lumber Company. There was large
crowd on hand to enjoy the basket din
ner, the l.. L.. l.. L. furnishing coffee,
watermelons and ice cream. After
the dinner l.. ~ Burton, of Spokane
gave a short talk, taking as his sub
ject. "Americanism." He proved to
be a good speaker and in the course
of his remarks he illustrated what can
be accomplished by labor and capital
working together for the common
good of all.
The ball game between team
picked from the employees of the Bon.
ners Ferry Lumber Company's saw
mill and one from the planning mil
employees, was the big event of the
day and in one of the best games Of
the year the sawmill bunch won ou

Government Apportions Auto Trucks

County Auditor j. b. Brody has
letter from the state highway depart
ment in which he is advised that this
state is to receive 257 of the autos and
trucks belonging to the government
which it has been decided to apportion
to the various states. These trucks
and autos are all in good shape and
while some of them saw service over
seas, others are new. They Will be
used only for road work and then only
ly for road work on roads where the
government has made appropriations.
IL is not known how many of the
257 trucks and autos will be appor-
toned to this county but Mr.. Brody
made application several weeks ago
and his application was the first to be
in the hands of the department. 1t is
probable that this county will receive
two or three of the machines at the
| least

MONTANA FOLKS MOVING HERE
Three New Families With Four Cars
of Stock and Goods Arrive Sunday

Three families from Redstone, Mont,
arrived here Sunday with four car
loads OF stock and household furnish
ings and all plan to make their homes
in this district.
Thomas Spain and family expect to
spend the winter in the city and next
spring will look around for ranch
home.
Mr. and Mrs. j. f. Jones and family
have leased the +. c. Gale ranch in
the Myrtle creek district and are now
moving onto the place with their stock
and household goods. They intend
to buy a home this fall or next spring
after they have decided whether o. not
they like the climate and country.
Mr. and Mrs. r. States have leased
the Fred Myers ranch on the North
side and are moving onto the place
and they too, il they like the country,
will buy a home in this district next
spring. Mr.. States is a brother of
the Mr.. States who came here this
spring and leased the Fewkes place
at Moravia. Messrs. States and Jones
came here ehrly in the summer and
looked over the country and decided
they would like to live here for a time
and. now that their families are here
they will soon be able to judge as 70
whether or not they will become per-
manent residents. Thus far they are
well pleased with the country and
there is every reason to believe that
they will remain.
These families own large ranches in
Montana but the drouths of the past
season prevented harvesting crops and
they. like many others, have come to
a country where good crops are a GER
tainty.

F. INOUE BUYS
CASEY HOTEL
VALUABLE MAIN STREET CORNER
PURCHASED FROM A. c. AND
AND JOHN II. MOORE
PLANS MANY IMPROVEMENTS
New Owner WIN Conduct Both Hotel
and Restaurant

One Of the largest real estate deals
of the city for several months past
was closed the past week when the
Casey hotel property was purchased
by Frank Inoue, formerly the propri-
etor OF the Crystal Laundry, from A. c.
Moore and John T. Moore.
Mr.. lnoue will take possession the
tenth of next month when the present
lease of A. ID. Welch expires. He
will also take over the active manage
ment of the restaurant which has al
ways been run in Connection with the
hotel and has planned to make many
improvements including the rear
rangement of the ground floor so that
the dining room will occupy the space
now used for Office rooms and lobby.
Mr. Inoue will remodel the kitchen
and plans to give every room of the
hotel a thorough overhauling and new
paint and paper. He has made ar
rangements to secure one of the best
cooks in the country to take charge
of the restaurant, a man who worked
at the Doonan hotel in Troy for the
past seven years.
The property which Mr.. Inoue pur-
chased consists of 1873 feet of 'front.'
age on Kootenai street, 100 feet deep.
from the corner of Main and Kootenai
streets to the alley between Kootenai
and Railroad streets. This property
was bought some five or six years ago
by the Moore brothers for a consider
alton of about $4,000 and they spent
considerable money improving the
property and putting in new furnish
ings. All the furnishings of the no.
tel go with the property.
Mr. Inoue has lived in this city for
the past six years and as the owner Of
the Crystal Laundry enjoyed fine
patronage and made for himself many
good friends who will do all in their
power to make his present business
undertaking very successful one.
He has had many years of experience
as a hotel and restaurant owner and
is sure that he is making a wise in
vestment in the purchase of one of
the best business corners of this city

WORK STARTS
This WEEK
CREW BEGINS SURVEY OF THE
NORTH END OF THE STATE
HIGHWAY
WILL REQUIRE THREE MONTHS
District Engineer Bassett Here-B. A.
Paulsen In Charge OF Crew

Actual work is to be started this
week on the survey of the northern end
of the north and south highway in this
county and crew will begin this week
or next on the survey of the route in
Bonner county. District Engineer w.
l. Bassett, of Occur d Alene and B. A.
Paulson, who will be in charge of the
survey in this county, arrived here on
Sunday and made the trip to Porthill
for preliminary inspection purposes.
Engineer Bassett will remain for sew
eral days.
There will be eight men in the sur
vey party which will work in this
county and it is not likely that the
work will be completed in less than
three months. The crew at Sand
point will first work on the route be-
TWEEN Standpoint and the Boundary
Bonner county line. 1t is possible
that part of the survey made by the
state engineers two years ago on the
proposed highway from this city to
Macarthur, will be used.
In an interview with Herald rep
resentative yesterday Engineer Bas-
set said that as far as possible the old
roads would be made a part OF the
north and south highway and that
wherever it was possible the route
would be surveyed so as not to con-
fict with the interests of the land
owner. However, he intends to map
out the proposed highway in this coun-
tv with a view of having the road
where it will be of the most service to
all people for all time to come. II
will be surveyed on as straight lines
as possible and all grades will be elm
mated as far as possible. Mr. Bas-
set does not think it at all probable
that any road work can be started be-
fore next spring

PIONEERS PICNIC
A MISNOMER

According to reports from Copeland
quite large crowd attended the pic
mic which had been advertised as
pioneers picnic" but which turned
out to be a ruse of Non-partisan
League organizers to get. out crowd
TO listen to League speakers.
The day did not turn out to be
good one for picnic on account OF
the rain and GOODNESS. The dinner
was the biggest and best event of the
day and full justice was done to the
many good things to eat
The Walden Band was one of the
features of the day and the organiza-
uon played a number of selections,
each of which was heartily encored by
an enthusiastic audience.
The speaking was held in hall.
H. +. Samuels, the partisan League
candidate for governor at the last
election, gave an interesting talk and
Told Of his trip to Europe and of the
conditions he found overseas. He did
not enter into political discussion
another speaker was a man from
spokane, identified with the Non-par-

Five Ton Run Nets slaO In Gold

j. B. Ellis, James LaFountain and
A. c. Macbeth, all officials or stock
holders OF the Cynide Gold Mining Co.,
the account of the operations OF which
was published in the Herald last week,
were in the city on Thursday to get
supplies and to report to local officials
and stockholders the results OF the
first ton run made in the new plant OF
the company. A five ton lot OF gold
bearing ore was run through the gold
saving machinery and this run netted
S12O. This is better than had been
expected or hoped for and Mr.. Ellis
states that the machine is saving about
90 per cent of the gold. This run
proves beyond a doubt that the com
pany can proceed with development
work and be sure Of returns without
having to install the cyanide process
and it is now certain that so tor
stamp mill will be installed at onc'
in order to increase the capacity of tn
mine.

See Gold Saving Machine Work

M. j. Sweeney, president and John
Kendall, secretary and treasurer of the
Redemption Gold Company, of Seattle,
Wash, have been here the past week
and will probably make their head
quarters in Bonners Ferry for some
time as they are interested in the de-
velopment of the Cynide Gold Min
ing Company's property in the Buck
horn district, where they have in
Stalled gold saving machinery which
is manufactured by their company.
Mr. Kendall states that the machine
installed is working most satisfactor-
| lily and that there is no question but
that il will revolutionize gold mining
in this country Several Montana
gold miners have been here the past
week to see the machine and these
men intend to install machines at once
as they were greatly pleased with the
results being obtained at the mine Of
the Cynide Gold company.

The following editorial was pub
lished last week in the Pend d Oreille
Review, Standpoint, George r. Barker,
editor, and is worthy of the study of
the parents of this county inasmuch
as the conditions in Standpoint are
similar to the conditions in this dis
trict. The organizations that frank
lv admit that married men are not
wanted as members must not make
Roadway in this country. They are
peril to domestic life and to our
homes and to the man who would pre-
pare for advancing years. The men
of America do not want an organiza-
ton that has no regard for the rights
of those outside it.
II is a matter of quite common
knowledge, although difficult to prove
in this city that dozen or fifteen
Standpoint youths ranging from 10 to
18 wears of age are carrying the red
cards of the l. W. W. Most of them
are not through school and some OF
them have given up the pursuit OF
academic knowledge entirely. Hardly
able to solve the most simple problems
in algebraic equations they are taking
a stand on economic questions which
tax the most highly developed brains
of the United States in the present
crisis of the country's struggle toward
the perfection of democratic political
science.
And why?

for the day and the music rendered
was greatly enjoyed by all at the pic
mic grounds.
Owing to the fact that most of the
afternoon was occupied with the ball
game the other athletic sports planned
were dispensed with.
In the evening the K. p. hall was
well filled with dancers and these all
voted the affair one of the best OF the
