FARMERS MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT
Talk Plans That WIN Help the County
and Put Money In Their Pockets

The crowd which attended the farm
er's get-to-gether meeting at the
Northside schoolhouse Friday night
considerably exceeded all expectations
and the meeting was all that could
have been hoped for and those who
arranged it feel that they have already
made headway with their plans for
unity among the farmers for their mu-
tual advantage.
After the speaking a basket supper
was served and the evening devoted
to sociability.
John Quincy Adams. organizer of the
Tri-State Farmers Union and Mr..
Darling, Spokane manager of the Tri-
State terminal, gave addresses in
which they urged the farmers to unite
as body and work out their own sal
walton and plan and scheme together
in the effort to dispose of their pro-
duce and crops at prices which would
enable them to reap a fair profit for
their labor and investment
Prominent farmers of this district
now have in mind plans to organize
a cannery concern and possibly a
fiourmill and it has been pointed out
that with an evaporating plant the
farmers could dispose of their fruits
at a fair price and make money from
produce that is now a total loss.

TO COOPERATE
IN ROAD PLANS
COMMISSIONERS SPEND FRIDAY
IN CONSULTATION WITH BON
NER COUNTY BOARD
MUST HAVE ROAD FUNDS NOW
Ask State Engineer As To the Status
of State Appropriations

County Commissioners Welch. Col
Inns and Chambers went to Standpoint
T. rlday and held a conference with the
commissioners of Bonner county in re-
gard to road matters concerning the
two counties. The Boundary county
commissioners feel that they were well
repaid for the trip and time spent as
they were able to come to an under
tanding with the Bonner County board
and have agreed on road improvement
program effecting the National Parks
Highway that traverses the two coun-
ties. This is a situation that has not
been enjoyed since Boundary county
was organized and the present board
has certainly taken step in the right
direction. The Bonner county board
has also agreed to work with the home
board in the effort to secure state ap-
preparations for state highways and
whether or not they are successful
will proceed at once to put the road
from the Boundary Bonner county line
in good shape
The Bonner county commissioners
and Senator Christensen of Standpoint,
have been of the opinion that state ap-
propriatiOns voted at the last legis-
lature and divided among the various
counties, could be secured on the dol
lar for dollar basis. This opinion
was held by many here but Represent
ative Kent states that these appropri-
ations will have to be met with two
dollars by the county for every one
dollar given by the state. This state
ment is also borne out by letter from
the state engineers department which
County Clerk and Auditor ]. b. Brody
received this week.
In this letter it was claimed that
there was no appropriation available
for the post road between Bonners
Ferry and Porthill. This informa-
tion entirely upsets the road building
plans in this county and the commits
sioners will at once try to arrange a
meeting with the state engineer in
order to find out what is coming to
the county, when it will be obtainable
and how it can be obtained. In case
the state highway commission con-
cedes to this county the road money
that has been expected il is not prob
able that the commissioners will sell
the road bonds voted two years ago
which amount to $35,000.00.
The county commissioners have en-
gagged c. H. Goodman, late of Peoria
ILL.,, and Grant Walters, to run the
two county road tractors. They are
now putting the gasoline tractor at
the courthouse, in repair.

Sergeant f. b. stookey Back Home

Sergt f. b. Stookey, who has been
in active service in France for the past
16 months and who was recently dis
charged at one of the eastern canton
ments, arrived here last Tuesday and
spent a few days visiting with his
brother, o. r. Stookey He is now at
Lewiston, Ida, visiting his parents and
plans to return here in about three
weeks to assist o. r. Stookey.
Sergt. Stookey was one of the first
Bonners Ferry BOYS to enlist and was
in training with the Boise company of
infantry. On going to France he was
transferred to another branch of the
service and at the time of his discharge
he was with the 74th Engineers. He
tells some interesting stories of the
things he saw in France and of his
war experiences. He had considera-
BILE experience with T. N. T. and had
every chance in the world to judge of
it's usefulness and states that it was
used in France to great advantage in
trench, ditch and other work and that
il sure moved the stumps. Probably
some of the wiseacres who are criti-
cizing and ridiculing the plans to use
the government supply of T. N. T. for
reclamation purposes could get few
pointers by interviewing Sergt. Stock
