Mr. Durham will return at once to
nc former home and will ship in a
narload of household goods and his
horses cattle and farm implements.
Mr. Durham became interested in
this district through the efforts of
w. Baker, also OF Glentana, who
came here a few weeks ago and pur-
chased 100 acres of timber land that
he proposes to develop.
While here Mr.. Baker became much
interested in this district and its pos
sibilities and as he was discouraged
bv the drouths of Montana, he decided
10 make this county his future home.
His son and family came here coup
lie of weeks ago.
Mr.. Baker states that about 80 fam
lilies that he knows of from his dis

Of these in this county and is now
getting data and samples of the crops
grown to send them and is looking
over the county for lands for sale
which he thinks will suit his Montana
friends.
He has with him a number of sam
ples of crops grown in various sect
ions of the middle west on lands that
the owners desire to trade for homes
in this section. These samples and
full descriptions of the lands may be
seen at the real estate offices of Nc
Glocklin and Kent
In this connection 1t is interesting
to note that in most parts of the coun-
ty this year. as in every year, there
will be fine crops, especially of hay
on the bottom lands. On the high
lands the crops will not be as good
as usual because of the long dry spell
which was broken this week by sever

Many local merchants are greatly
interested in assisting endeavors to
attract auto tourists over the route
of the National Parks Highway which
passes through Boomers Ferry This
route, it is generally conceded, is the
most scenic of any auto highway but
from reports which are coming here
quite often it seems that in Spokane
and Standpoint there has been an un-
due effort made to divert tourists ov-
er the southern branch of the National
Parks Highway.
On the east end of the northern
route of the National Parks Highway
have been placed many signs adver-
Using the route and this week a sign
was completed here which is to be
placed at the western end OF the route
this side of Standpoint. The cost of
the sign was made up by local bust

supervision of A. j. Kent The sign
is a metallic one, five feet high by
eight feet long and shows the dis

Glad TO BE Rack Home

Mrs. Jos. A. Jacoby returned last
week from a several weeks visit with
relatives and friends in North Da-
kota, Minnesota and Montana.
Mrs Jacoby says that the mos
quitos in northern Minnesota were
far worse than she ever saw them in
this district. Speaking of the crops
she said that in part of Minnesota
the crops would be failure; in N.
Dakota the crops look good while in
Montana there will be no crops at
all, comparatively speaking. She
said that a great many families of all
these states were now planning to
come west and she advised them tc
come to the Kootenai valley first in
their search of new location. Miss
Merrelle Jacoby accompanied hel
mother on the trip east.

ACCIDENT AT
planning MILL

Ed Miley, foreman of the planning
mill of the Boomers Ferry Lumber Co.,
had his left arm cut off just below the
elbow, Thursday, when it became
caught in the knives of one of the
planning mill machines.
Just how the accident happened no
one knows. 1t was just after the
noon hour. A new set of knives had
been placed in the machine and Mr..
Miley was jointing them. He stated
to a representative of the Herald that
he could not tell how the accident
happened but he doesn't think he
slipped or lost his balance. He said
that he seemed to feel something hit
his arm and thought that he might
have been struck by a flying knot
from a nearby machine.
Mileys hand and arm was cut to
shreds and when he jerked it away
from the knives he hurried to the oil
room and gave directions for first
aid APPLIANCES He was hurried to
the Boomers Ferry hospital where
DR.. Fry amputated the arm and
dressed the wound.
Mr.. Miley has been an employee OF
the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
for many years and has held his pres
ent position for some five years. He
is one of the popular employees of the
company and is a prominent member
of the l.. l.. L. L. here. The members
of this organization have arranged
among, themselves to provide for Mr.
Miley one of the best artificial arms
made and in every way possible they
are looking after his comforts.
Mr.. Miley's accident is covered by
the compensation insurance carried
by the Boomers Ferry Lumber Com
pany for its employees. While he Il
laid up the company will continue his
salary and his old position at the
planning mill will be kept open fol-
him.
