Broken Penst0ck Causes Trouble mt
the Myrtle Greek Plant

Monday morning the penstock OF
the Bonners Ferry Water and Light
Company's plant at Myrtle creek was
broken by rock slide and as a con-
sequence the city has been without
power and light service this week.
Water was pumped into the city
mains by the Bonners Ferry Lumber
Company pump. The city council die
not deem this water safe for do
nestle use and notification to boil the
water was given out Tuesday in the
shape of handbills.
Due to the lack of power the Her.

The Herald has been under the
present management for the past 8
years and this is the third time in
that period that it has not been sent
out to its readers on publication day.
1t is to be hoped that this will be he
last time.
Manager Berger took a crew. of
men to the Myrtle creek plant Mon
day noon to repair the damages to
the penstock. The repairs were
made with concrete which had to be
given time to set before being sub
jected to pressure.
The enforced use of candles and
Kerosene for lights and the lack OF
any kind of power the past week has
impressed local citizens with the ap-
parent need of something being done
towards acquiring a municipal light
and power plant. 1t is claimed that
the present plant is overloaded and
that at any time 1t is likely to break
down. Repairs are hard to get and
should serious breakdown occur
the town might be without light for
30 days or longer. The city must
at once either secure the system of
the Bonner Water & Light Company
or else construct new plant. For
the latter plan it has been demon

pany when Cleo Wilbur Simmons. the

the planning mill, drove off a tramwav
and fell with his motor and truck
load of lumber, some ten or twelve
feet. Simmons neck was broken by
the fall.
There We're no eye witnesses of the
accident and how it happened is a
matter of conjecture. The driver
had the full use of the tramway and
it is thought that he must have been
looking back and in so doing drove
the machine off the side.
The funeral services were held at
Moravia at 10 o'clock Friday morning
at the Moravia schoolhouse and were
conducted by Rev. e. r. Henderson
assisted by Senator w. S. Walker and
a choir composed of Mrs. d. w. parks,
Mrs. +. A. Shultis, Mrs. John Fogel-
song and Mrs. Belle Bishop. A large
company of the friends of the de-
ceased and his family, attended the
funeral and many beautiful flowers
were brought in token of the respect
felt for the dead. The pallbearers
were Ed Peterson. Lee Cuddy, Frank
Cuddy, Charles Nelson, Bernard Ny
strom and John Connell. Inter
ment was had at the Moravia ceme-
terry.
The deceased was the son of Mrs.
Emma Simmons and is survived by
his mother, his twin brother, Mayo.
another brother and two sisters, Mrs.
81 Hatchett and Mrs. Ed Oviette.
He was born April 20, 1900, in
Illinois. He came here with his
parents several years ago and made
his home with them at Moravia. The
father died some six years ago.
Last winter he took course in a
automobile driving and repair school
at Seattle and when the mill started
this spring he secured work as an
auto truck driver.

steady habits and likabe disposi-
ton. His sudden and untimely
death came as a great shock to his

the deepest sympathy of all in this
their hour of great sorrow.

CHARGE OF STATE HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION
START WORK NEAR ELMIRA
New Road To Extend from Bonners
Ferry TO Standpoint

Work on the Bonner-Boundar
section of the North and South high
way will begin within the next month
is the welcome word that Major Clyde
Chaffins, engineer in charge, gives
out to the people Of this locality. Ma
lor Chaffin represents the United
states bureau of roads, department
OF engineering, and he expects the
call for bids on the work at any time.
AS soon as the contracts are let the
work will begin and will then be
pushed to completion. But it is
pretty big job, involving as it does.
the expenditure of approximately
$450,0OO.
Thirty-five miles of road are in
the plans, beginning at Standpoint and
extending to Bonners Ferry. The
roadbed will be semi-waterbound ma
cadam, which consists of crushed rock
screened to size and rolled in place.
The width of roadway will be 20 feet;
maximum grade five per cent and
maximum curvature 20 degrees.
though the curvature may not be
strictly observed at railroad cross
lngs. Eventually all the crossing will
be either subways or overhead, but
that cannot be done througnt TINS
time.
The line will follow the present
road in the main, but corrections will
be made at various points The jog
at the'sand hill, just this side of Col
burn, will be eliminated, the road fol-
lowing the Great Northern. Just be-
fore Pack river is reached change
will be made by DETECTING the line
TO cross the river somewhat above
the present location, and the bridge
will be moved. Beyond Naples there
are places where the road is over
flowed in time of high water, and
these will be filled.
1t is expected that upwards of three
hundred men will be employed on the
line and that it will possibly take as
much as nine months to complete the
job The money is furnished by the
the state and the federal gov
ernment. This road is one of the
worst of the main roads leading out
of Standpoint and the people have
long waited the beginning of the prof.
ect to building it into a modern high
way. which will be decided advance
in the county road system.

PLANS FOR HOTEL BUILDING

A deal was closed this week where
by j. w Reid bought the two lots
of Mary Carlson on the corner of
Main and Kootenai street formerly
occupied by the Bonner Hotel which
was burned about three years ago.
He also bought "a foot lot ad-
joining the Carlson property, of w. A.
Alexander, the deal being closed the
first of this week.
Mr.. Reid has informed the Herald
of his intentions to form a company
to build hotel building on these
lots as soon as plans can be matured
and the necessary capital subscribed.
He intends to take up the matter
with the business men of the city
at once.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1920-05-25

1t is the intention to build a
thoroughly modern building of three
stories with store rooms and lobby
on the ground floor and rooms upon
the upper floors. A large dining
room with kitchen will also be To-
Gated on the ground floor leading
off the lobby.
The building will be modern in
every respect with hot and cold
water and telephone in each room.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
building will be upward of $4,000.
The building of the hotel on this
corner will make a great improve
ment for the city. The lots have
been bad eyesore right in the most
prominent corner of the town.

that will hold only 95 students.
In the grade school still more
crowded condition is found. The
third grade with seating capacity
Of 40 has 55 pupils; the fourth grade
has 80 seating capacity and there
are 40 enrolled; the fifth grade room
has a seating capacity of S5 and is
now housing 56 children. Such ov-

and that is the lowering of the pres
ent high standard of school work.
1t is impossible to do good work
in such crowded rooms. Our chill

accommodations.
The prospects for the coming year
certainly show a heavy increase in
the number of students to be pre-
pared for. There will be many new
children in the primary grades and
the children of the new families that
are coming in must be taken care Of.
There seems TO be every reason to
believe that the enrolment Of our
schools will increase just as rapidly
In the future as in the past. This
coming year the third, fourth and the

where shall we house them?

SEARCH FOR
c. KLOCKMANN

Search parties have been out since
Thursday evening looking for Chris
klockmann, of Porthill, who disap-
peared Thursday morning. At noon
today, according to telegraphic word
from Porthill, no trace of the missing
man has been found
Mr.. Klockmann left his home, a few
miles this side of Porthill, on the
banks of the Kootenai river, at ten
o'clock Thursday morning and he in
tended to return home by three
o'clock in the afternoon. He started
for Porthill in a steel launch into
which he had loaded ten sacks of po-
tatoes. 1t is said that the launch did
not pass a point a mile and half be-
low the Klockmann ranch on the riv-
er and it is feared that some accident
happened and that Klockmann was
drowned. He is said to have been an
expert swimmer but it is also told that
he had been in poor health of late and
had suffered dizzy spells too The
water in the river is very cold now
and it is probable that the launch may
have struck snag and that Klock-
mann was siezed with cramps when
he was forced into the water.
Chris Klockmann is the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Klockmann and
has lived in this district for over 13
years. He is one of the most popu-
lar and respected young men Of the
county and his friends everywhere
are hoping that he may yet turn up
safe and sound.
