WIN Work for Common Interests

At the recent meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners favorable action was
taken in regard TO the petition of the
patrons of School Districts Nos. and
20, of the Naples and Highland Flats
districts. The petition presented
requested permission of the two dis
tricts to form consolidated school
district.
The trustees of the two districts

terday, and reorganized. The six
trustees will remain in office until
the next regular school election. II
is proposed that the school of the con-
solidated district shall be held at the
Naples building and that the children
of the Highland Flats district shall
be furnished with transportation to

school will have two teachers.
County Superintendent Mrs. Flood
believes that the Naples district has
taken step in the right direction and
that better results will be obtained

NOTICE TO HERALD ADVERTISERS

On and after July the advertis-
ing rates of the Boomers Ferry Herald
will be raised to % cents per column
inch for display advertisements; 20
cents per column inch for contract
space and ten cents per line for all
readers.
The legal advertising rate will re-
main the same, S1.00 per inch for
first insertion and so cents per inch
for each subsequent insertion.
The raise in rates is forced upon the
management of the Herald by reason
of the continued and increasing high
costs of materials used in the pub
fishing business. All during the time
of the war and covering a period of
two years past, the price of all mater
ial used by the Herald has been so
high that it has been impossible to
make a profit. Materials are now
two and three times higher than they
were two years ago and the jobbers
say there is no chance of a decrease
in prices. This decrease in prices
of materials has long been looked for
ward to by the Herald which like
many other business organizations,

CANADA TO
HELP SOLDIERS

Guy Constable and wife and son mo-
tured here Saturday from their home
at Creston, B. G. and were guests over
Sunday of Mr.. and Mrs. I. Causton.
Mr. Constable states that the Cres-
ton fair will be held this fall on Sep
TENDER 26 and q and on these dates
there will be a delegation from the
Nelson Chamber of Commerce at Cres-
ton for the particular purpose of view
ing the overflow lands of the valley.
A conference will be held in regard to
the furtherance of drainage plans and
A. ]. Kent expects to induce many
local people to attend inasmuch as the
drainage of the Kootenai valley of Ida
no depends largely upon action taken
in British Columbia. Mr.. Kent states
that the British Columbia government
has relinquished claim to the over
flowed lands of the Creston district
and that now negotiations must be
carried on through the Ottawa govern
ment
Mr.. Kent has some interesting data
at hand in regard to what the British
Columbia government is doing for it's
returned soldiers and he states that
the B. c. government has purchased
of the Rogers Lumber company over
1900 acres of land between the inter
national boundary line and Creston
and has taken options on $500 more
acres which is to be given to returned
soldiers. Besides this the soldiers
are to be given $4,000 each, the money
to be repaid the government on the
amortization plan, SO year period. 1t
is claimed that the land being pur-
chased by the provincial government
cost $50 per acre. 1t is all cutover
land.
When one hears of how other gov
ernments are taking care of their war
heroes 1t makes a person wonder
when the United States will adopt a
plan to reward and take care of her
soldier boys.

supposed that the end of the war
might bring about normal prices. 1t
was. thought that by raising the price
of the Herald from $3.50 to $500 the
difference in costs would be overcome
but this has been tried and does not
begin to make up the difference. So.
after putting off the inevitable for
some time it is now necessary to
make the change of rates as above
outlined.
The regular business patrons of the
Herald will understand the conditions
which necessitate the raise in rates
on account of the fact that every mer-
chant has been or is up against the
same trouble as the Thanksgiving to
sell at the pre-war prices when the
overhead costs have increased 100 to
300 percent and the wholesale prices
have gone up accordingly.
In the job printing department of
the Herald a scale of prices agreed
as fair and prepared by the printers
of Spokane, has been in use for sew
eral months. These prices are
changed in accordance with the mar
ket fluctuations.
