agricultural land for settlement, trib-

1t is hard to correctly judge the ben
eft that Bonners Ferry will receive.
There is little doubt but that the mill
here will run full capacity for many
years to come and this means many
more inhabitants and much larger
payroll
Mr. Mccoy was asked yesterday if
the sale of the Callahan tract was APP
proved whether this would not mean
a day and night shift in the local mills
next summer. He stated that there
would be no possibility of logging any
of the timber this season but if the
weather permitted the mill would open
early this spring and that two shifts
would be run regardless of whether
the company secures the Callahan
tract timber. The company is now
operating several camps and will nc
doubt do more summer logging thar
ever this year and it is probable that
a capacity season run will be made.
The new camps at Porthill will soor
be ready to send in logs. This camI
has already cost the lumber company

SECOND CLASS
POSTOFFICE
BONNERS FERRY POST0FFICE RE-
CEIPTS HAVE GREATLY IN
CREASED In LAST YEAR
GOES IN EFFECT ON JULY |
Now In Line for Free Delivery In
the City

On account of the fact that the rev.
enue of the Bonners Ferry postofice
for the past year, from the sale of
stamps and stamp paper, exceeded
$4,000, it will now be what the post
Office department calls secondclass
Office and the change from a third
class to secondclass office Will go in
to effect July /.
The securing of a secondclass post
office is a boost for Bonners Ferry
and gives the town a standing with
people looking for new homes There
are few towns within a radius of 200
miles that have secondclass offices.
Standpoint has a secondclass office but
the Newport. Wash, office is in the
third class.
Postmaster Wiley states that the re-
ceipts of the office have always been
over $1,000 from the sale of stamps
and stamp paper but the revenue fell
off a bit last year on account of the
change from the three cent postage.
Having a secondclass postoftice here
means classified civil service employ
ment There can be no more appoint
ments to clerkships by the postmaster.
The force at the postoiiice will be in
creased, including the postmaster, an
assistant postmaster at a salary of
$500 year and two clerks at salaries
of $1,000 a year. The salary of the
postmaster is also increased 5000 over
what he now receives.
Free delivery may also be secured
from secondclass postoffice IL the
patrons desire this service and the ex-
penditures necessary seem iustifiable
to the department.
Mr. Wiley states that the receipts
= this month from the sales of stamps
and stamp paper ran over $1,000 and
that the largest volume of mail, both
outgoing and incoming, in the his
tory of the office, was handled.
Postmaster Wiley recently placed in
service 30 new lock boxes and these
were rented two days after being in
stalled and he is now preparing to pu'
in double this number.

SOME REASONS FOR HIGH
TAXES OF This YEAR

County Treasurer w. I. James has
been a busy man at the court house
the past few weeks, receiving money
due for the first half of the 1919 taxes.
The total amount of taxes to collect
amount to $197 ,36067 and the total
collections for the first half amount
to S106, 1884, leaving $84 1925 to be
collected in June and delinquent to-
tai of $6,45S.7S.
Treasurer James states that the de-
linquent list this year is larger than
ever before and states that this is no
doubt because of the change in the
date of payment.
Treasurer James states that there
are not many who are kicking about
increased taxes, especially when they
understand why the taxes are higher
and when they take in consideration
that the increase in taxation is bring
ing about improvements in our county.
The opponents to the state and county
administration, of course, try to make
capital of the increase in taxes, when
as a matter of fact, the increase was
necessitated to a large extent by the
acts of their own administration in
the past four years. The increase in
| taxes does not anywhere nearly cor
respond with the increase of necessi,
ties of life and the increased costs Of
all kinds of business.
Then, too, it must be considered tina
| the state administration is spending
a great deal of money for road i'm
provements and large share has beer
appropriated for this county. INT
Il amount of money paid the state THU
wear in excess of other years will al
4 most correspond with the amount o
money the state will spend here 10

While the state taxes have increased
five mills it is also true that in most
parts of the county the school taxes
have increased. The school taxes
are increased from one to six mills
in the various districts.
The state increase comprises two
mills special tax for the two million
dollar good roads bond isue voted by
the last legislature. Other raises in
the state levy were occasioned by the
greater appropriations in the general
fund voted by the last legislature to
cover the Alexander administration
deficits, the rebuilding of the Lewis
ton normal, the rebuilding OF the Sol
lier's Home at Boise, both destroyed
by fire and the insurance upon whlch
had been used by the Alexander ad-
ministration to cover expenditures III
the general fund.
The state tax law contemplates that
state expenses for the ensuing year
shall be taken care of by the taxes
raised the previous year. Alexander
when he took office, had enough TO run
his administration for a year. Whep
Davis took office Alexander had used
ND in advance the money necessary
for the conducting of the state aHalrs
for his first year and the present al
ministration has had to raise two
years' taxes in one The special state
1 highway tax of two mills and the mon
ey necessary to carry on the state ed
ministrarion with higher prices pre-
yailing for all expenditures, together
with the deficit left as legacy to the
incoming republican administrator
have united in increasing the state
levy and thus the amount paid by the
i taxpayer for his state government

STANLEY KETCHEL defeated Billy O Papke in ten rounds at Milwaukee eleven years ago today. June 4,> 1908. This was the first meeting between the Assassin and the "Thunderbolt'' '' and the riddleweight championship of the world was at stake.
 KetcheI claimed the title on the score of his defeats of Jack Twin Sullivan and Joe Thomas, while Papke alleged that his defeat of Hugo Kelly entitled him to the honor. The combatants had no sooner shaken hands than Ketchel landed a left on BilTy's jaw that virtually decided the battle. Throughout the remainder of the battle Papke fought ferociousIy, but he was so dazed by that first terrible punch that he scarcely knew what he was doing. Ketchel won, but by a narrow margin, and three more bouts, in one of which he was knock ed out, were necessary before Ketchel proved to the fight fans that he was the better man.
