POSTAGE RATES
 ON NEWSPAPERS

Postmaster Charles F. Greene an nounced today that the postage rate for sending newspapers to various parts in the United States is one cent per four ounces. In many cases it was found that persons mailing bun dles of newspapers have no regard for their weight and think one cent is sufffcient to cover postage rate. Yes- terday, 5l such packages were held up by post office officials. In each case the addressee has been notified to send the required amount of postage before the packages are sent to them.

 PEOPLE STILL

The end of the war did not stop food conservation so far as Bridge port. is conCerncd. This is borne out by the figures on garbage collection which show n marked reduction in the amount of waste material collect ed bY the city.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-09-19

For August 1919 there was a fall ing off of 500 tons from August 1918. A part of this is accounted for by the enforcement of health depart ment rules resulting in the elimina- ton of foreign materials from the garbage. The difference is said to denote the extent to which Bridge port householders are conserving food.

board of directors of the Kootenai
Valley Produce Co., the resignation of
T. j. Jones as manager was accepted
and by unanimous vote o. A. Phillips
was given the management of the bus
mess of the company.
Mr.. Jones recently accepted the
managership of the company, tempor-
arily and after being in the store for
a couple of weeks decided that he
preferred ranch life and that If he
remained in the store he would have
to sacrifice his ranch interests. He
has highly developed ranch just east
of town.
Mr.. Phillips is an experienced bus
mess man and has been with the Koot-
enai Produce Company for some time.
He is well liked and his friends pre-
dict that he will make a success and
that the board of directors have made
no mistake in electing him the mana

only to become employers themselves.
Then as the deposed employer again
gained his former position there would
be a constant rotation of proletariat
and bourgeoise. What could thus be
gained?
"The socialistic doctrine is based
on class, not individual, advancement
Democracy strives to give every in
dividual an opportunity to think and
act for himself. Socialism tries to
bring mass action, as a class, into
supremacy. Democracy fosters peace.
Socialism fosters anarchy, revolution.
Democracy strives to effect social re-
forms based upon civilization already
attained; socialism to wipe out our
whole system by revolt without any
constructive plan to replace il with
something better.
Bolshevism, based on the principles
and doctrines of socialism, is putting
these beliefs in practice in Russia.
The rule of Russia today is in the
hands of the leaders of the soviets or
councils of industrial groups. These
leaders have absolute dictatorial power
over the proletariat. so absolute that

for failure to produce the greatest
possible capacity of labor. The prol-

TO INVESTIGATE
LOCAL H. C.. Oh.

This week Federal Food Admins
traitor r. f. Bicknell, of Boise, notified
c. W King, who acted as county food
during the war period,
to appoint committee and work with
it in the investigating of the prices in
the city and county markets.
The committee which has been ap-
pointed consists of one retailer of
groceries, one of dry goods, one of
organized labor, one representative of
the housewives, two representatives of
the public generally and when practi-
cal representative of the wholesal-
ers. The committee has been named
as follows: George r. Causton, j. W.
Reid, ]. A Jacoby, Mrs. Frank Berger,
NJ. McNichols, and A d. Welch.
A meeting of this committee will be
called as soon as definite instructions
arriye.
The Investigations to be made will
be on the same plan as the investiga-
tions of the national profiteering and
about the same inquiries will be made
as were required of the fair price
committees of war times.
The committee will be an extra
legal body without power to summon
witnesses or fix prices but it will be
requested to ascertain the cost prices
and determine fair margin of profit
and if the retail prices are in an ex-
cess of what the committee considers
fair profit, they will have published
fair list of prices. The committee
will also obtain evidences of boarding
and other violations of the Food Con-
troll Act and will report all findings tC
Federal Administrator Bicknell who
in turn will report TO A. Mitchell Pal
mer; attorney general of the United
States.

An audience of several hundred peo-
pie gathered at the courthouse on
Wednesday evening to hear Mrs Grace
Manners Brougham in her address en-
titled, Socialism, Bolshevism, Amer
icanism." All were greatly pleased
with the speaking of the evening and
Mrs. Brougham made a most favora-
BILE impression even among those who
are opposed to her views.
She is a cultured Englishwoman,
who took an active part in the war
work of her own country and who for
many months has assisted the govern
ment of the United States in various
campaigns. Having helped to re-
cruit the armies that won the war she
is now engaged in recruiting the army
of peace that must be aroused TO save
TO the world the benefits of the victory
of democracy over autocracy
Some of the best thoughts expressed
by Mrs Brougham in her address fol-
low:
"Now that the war is won the peo-
niles of the world can only do one of
two things: they~can either consoli-
date their peace forces and develop
their civilization more highly, or they
can allow the destructive forces TO
gain control and tear down all that
democracy mas so ldDOrlOuSty Duiil

There is now being waged battle
of brains: of ideas The judgment
of the people will be the determining
factor in deciding whether Democracy
will live or fall. Upon the judgment
of the people will be based the poll
cies of the nation
"The struggle now is between So
cialism and Bolshevism against Amer
icanism. Socialism as put forth by
Carl Marx and Engfe is based on an
autocratic rule of class. Its princi-
ples are struggle. hatred and discon-
tent. Marx says that the proletariat
or working class, is being exploited
! bv the bourgeoise or capitalistic class
The proletariat does not receive the
full amount which his labor produces
Hence this class wishes to dispose OF
its employers-but for what? Not &c

WILL ORGANIZE
AMERICAN LEGION

All the returned service men of the
county have been invited to attend
meeting to be held at the X. p hall
tomorrow night at 1880 o'clock, for
the purpose of organizing a post of
the American Legion
The national organization of the
American Legion was effected several
months ago and since that time all
the states have been organized and
in many states all the counties and
towns have been organized
The American Legion is an organi-
zation which Will have as it's prime
object the looking after the welfare
of the men who saw service in the
recent war. 1t is non-political body
but there is no doubt but that its
membership will be heard from when
the interests of the service men are
at stake. The following preamble of
the constitution of the American Lee
gion gives a generous idea of the OBJ
ject of the organization:
For God and Country we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes:
10 upnOlu anu uelenu tne COnSll-
tuition of the United States of Ameri-
ca; to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate a one hundred
percent Americanism; to preserve the
memories of the Great War; to in
culcate a sense of individual obliga-
tion to the community, state and ma
tion to combat the autocracy of both
the classes and the masses; to make
Right the master of Might; to pro-
mote peace and goodwill on earth; tC
safeguard and transmit to posterity
the principles of justice. freedom and
democracy; to consecrate and sancti-
fly sour comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness."

$l6S,OOO FOR
BONNER ROADS
THAT AMOUNT TO BE SPENT In
BONNER COUNTY FOR NORTH
AND SOUTH HIGHWAY
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR R. F. D.
Outlook Promising for Good Roads
Program In North Idaho

In a telephone message from Rob-
ert McCrea, auditor of Bonner county,
on Thursday, ]. b. Brody, auditor OF
Boundary county, was advised that
survey work on the Bonner county
link of the North and South highway
would begin at once and that the ap-
preparation now available for this
highway, amounting to $16S,0 was
to be spend on the part from Sand
point to the Bonner-B Boundary county
line, according to Instructions from
w. l. Bassett, state district engineer
Mr. Brody was also informed that
there is a good chance for Bonner
county to secure a several mile stretch
of rural post route connecting within
a ten mile gap with the proposed new
rural route from Bonners Ferry to
the Naples district.
The news from Standpoint is heart
ening, to say the least, as rumor had
il here that the Bonner county peo-
pie hoped to divert the state tnd fed
eral money to their Clarksfork road
instead OF the North and South high
way and that If the money had to be
spent on the North and South highway
il would be spent from Standpoint to
the Bonner-Kootenai county line, leav-
ing a n IS mile length of the worst
road in the country between Standpoint
and the Boundary county line
In part confirmation of the above
the Pend d Oreille Review, of Sand
point says in it's Friday issue;
"A start has at last been made upon
the north and south" highway in
Bonner county. W. l. Bassett, OF
Coeur Alene, the district highway
engineer for northern Idaho, met with
the Bonner county board of commits
sioners Monday and announced that
the $4,000 state road money appor-
toned Bonner county by act of the
last legislature was ready and that
the state would start at once the pre-
liminary surveys north and south
from Standpoint.
THE county meets the states ap-
preparation upon the two to one terms
prescribed by law for such state ex-
penditures and will meet the states
$2S.000 with the sum of $4,000, an
amount to be taken from the county's
sale of 100000 worth of bonds by the
present board Mr.. Bassett stated
that the federal government would
treble the state appropriation and al
so double the county appropriation,
and that the sum of $S4 900 would so
become available under the terms Of
the government general roads approp-
ration, thus making the total to be
expended in Bonner county $168,000.
"Mr. Bassett stated that with the
completion of the north and south
highway and its becoming part Of
the states system of highways from
the south, or the construction of a
portion of il embracing the long
bridge, that structure would become
a part of the highway and its mainte-
nance become the states

President p. L. Shepard of Chicago,
Spending Summer at McArthur

p. +. Shepard, president of the
Kootenai Fruit Growers Association
Orchards at Macarthur. Idaho. and w.
II. Bowman, manager OF the orchard
tract, were business visitors in the
city Saturday.
Mr. Shepard is from Chicago and is
spending the summer at Macarthur
looking after the interests of the or
chard company.
The Kootenai company has some 600
acres In apple trees which should
have born fruit this year but for the
unusual late frosts. The trees are
all hardy and healthy in appearance
and there is reason TO believe that the
orchard will turn out to be a paying
proposition.
The orchard company is raising fine
islands of clover and also grain be-
tn cen the rows of apples and with
the second cutting of clover just com
pleted this week have on hand about
$50 tons of the finest clover ever pro-
duced in the county
The Kootenai Orchards Company is
composed of men in eastern states
who have invested their money in
hopes of good returns and some OF
them expect soon to make their homes
i'm this county The company has
developed a large area of ground and
1t is not improbable that if their pres.
ent venture is a success they will ac.

WILL ERECT new
BUSINESS BLOCK

A deal was concluded last Tuesday
whereby the F. A. Shultis, cashier of
the First National Bank, purchased
the p. B. Bothel frontage of 25 feet
on Main street adjoining the First
National Bank building on the north.
The purchase was made with the
idea of improving the property with
one story brick building to be con-
structed either this fall or early next
spring and it is likely that the work
will be done in the near future. The
proposed new building will fill the
gap between the First National Bank
building and the proposed new theater
to be constructed by Charles Woods,
of the Amazon theater. Mr.. Woods
first planned to build this fall but at
the present time has about concluded
to wait until next spring. His build
ing will have fifty foot frontage on
Main street.
The new brick to be erected by Mr.
Shultis is to be leased to the Kootenai
Valley Times and r. d. Paolucci, OF
the Up-To-Date Shoe Shop, it is said

NIGHT SHIFT AT
PLANNING Mill

On Saturday r. II. Mccoy, the vice
president and general manager of the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company,
authorized the Herald to announce
that if there is an assurance of cars
for shipping purposes, for the re-
mainder of the summer, a night shift
will be placed at work in the plan
ming mill here. If the proposed new
shift is put to work il will be within
the next few days.
There will be no increased work at
the sawmill which is now producing
sufficient output on the day shift to
keep the yards full. The present
outlook in the lumber market is that
the demand will lessen rather than
increase
The past season the Bonners Ferry
Lumber Company has been putting
in new buildings and machinery that
are fast putting 1t on the basis of the
best mills of the northwest.
The company is now using a partial
ly completed dry shed which is 240
feet long and over 100 feet wide and
another section is being added which
will make the dry shed 400 feet long
all covered with roofing with side
tracks on either side. The side
track on the south side is now in
and will accommodate about IL OF
IA cars.
Constant changes and improvements
are being made in the planning mil
and saw mill. On Thursday a .neW
