ELKS BALL TUESDAY NIGHT
A GRAND SOCIAL SUCCESS

The Elks dance Tuesday night at the
K. P. hall was one of the most brilliant
social events ever held in Bonners
Ferry and was success in every de-
tail, even beyond the expectations of
those who planned for it and made all
the arrangements.
The local members of the Elk lodge
spared neither time nor money in their
efforts to show their guests a good
time.
Owing to the fact that so many
Standpoint people were here to attend
the dance it was impossible to accom-
modate many of the local folks who
would have otherwise been invited
The Standpoint Elks, their wives and
lady friends, came in a special train
on the Spokane International Railway,
arriving about 1880 in the evening
The special train was met at the depot
by local Elks. A parade was formed
headed by J. P. Dunn, the oldest Elk
of the district, a band and the uni
formed members of the Elk lodge. Fol-
lowing came a long string OF autos,
decorated in Elk colors. carrying loads

L. '. WALKER HOME BURNED
S2ooO Damage Done BY Early Morning
Fire Monday.

A IRE which started about 80 yes
terday morning in the kitchen of the
L. V. Walker home, did damage ia the
amount OF about $4,000 The loss Is
partially covered by insurance.
Ihe fire started from the kitchen
stove. Mrs. Irene Fogelsong. who with
her husband, makes her home at the
Walker house, lit the fire in the kitch.
en- stove and went to her room 10
dress. When she returned a little
later the inside of the kitchen was All
aflame.
The fire alarm was turned in
promptly but for some reason or other
the alarm was not given until Mrs. i
W. Reid, who noticed the smoke. had
aroused neighbors.
Everything in the kitchen was lost
IN the fire and considerable damage
was done to the plaster and some fur
nishings in the dwelling rooms. Most
OF the furnishings were removed

until the fire department arrived.
In the excitement of the fire and
the rush to get the furnishings out OF
the building, Mr. Fogelsong thrust his
foot through large glass window and
suffered several severe cuts.

SCHOOL BOND
ISSUE CARRIED
235 VOTE AT SCHOOL BOND ELFC.
TI0N-0NLY 81 AGAINST
BUILDING NOW
START CONSTRUCTION VERY SOON
Hope To Occupy New Building BY the
First OF the Year.

The efforts of the many men and
women who for several weeks past
have interested themselves in urging
favorable vote on the school bond is
sue, were crowned with success Sat
urday when the voters of Independent
School District No. 4, voted for the
SSS,000 bond issue to be used in the
construction of new high school
building on what is known as the
Wales site.
The vote was not as large as might
have been expected There were 235
votes cast, $50 voting for the bonds
and 81 voting against the bonds. One
vote was thrown out because the voter
had voted both for and against the
bond issue on the same ballot.
Mrs. S. T. Faucet and VIM. Gray
We're clerks of the election and A. l..
Fry was judge of the election,
1t is the intention of the board OF
trustees to start at once to get ready
to build. The first thing that will be
necessary is to complete the contracts
for all the property of the Wales block,
with the exception of the Union church
lots Then the buildings will have to
be disposed of. Tenants will be given
notice at once to move and the build
ings will be advertised and sold. In
the mantime the trustees will decide
definitely upon plans for the new
building, will call for bids for the pur-
chase of the school bonds, call for
bids for the construction of the school
building and furnishing of the same.
At this time there seems to be every
probability that the new high school
building will be ready for occupancy
by the first of the year when it will
be taken over by the high school and
the present building will then be used
for the grade school The board of
trustees will decide IN the near future
what is to be done with the present
frame grade building
Last evening the board of trustees
of Independent School District No. 4
canvassed the votes of the Saturday
election and officially declared the
vote favorable.
T. j. Jones was authorized to wire
the state department of public invest
ments to learn whether or not the state
desired to buy the bonds of the school
district and if so whether or not it is
necessary to advertise the sale of the
bonds. Under the state law the state
has the first opportunity to buy school
bonds.

IiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIlIInIIIulIEInMuIIII

In spite of the fact that there is only
two weeks time left in which to file
for county offices there seems to be
little or no interest in politics and
thus far few men have filed for office
and there is little political talk.
The first filing was made some time
ago by Ralph Fisher, of the Copeland
district, who desires to be nominated
on the republican ticket for sheriff
There is some talk that County Com
missioner Fred Chambers will also
seek the nomination for sheriff on the
republican ticket but when seen this
week Mr.. Chambers stated that he was
not at all certain that he would run
for any office again.
w. F. Dunning has filed on the dem
ocratic ticket for nomination as sher-
iff. For some time there was talk
that w. c. Reid would oppose Dunning
and that j. G. Bush would seek the
assessors office. 1t is the dope now
that Dunning and Reid will not be op-
ponents and that Reid will stick to the
assessors office.
Mrs. Caroline w. Flood, county SUI
perintendent of schools, has filed and
it is not likely that she will have op-
position either in the primary or gen
eral election.
1t seems probable that Commission
ers Welch and Collins will both be
candidates for reelection and so far
there is no known opposition to their
candidacy for nomination on the re-
publican ticket County Auditor Brody
holds over for two years yet and Coun-
~ ~ 70 I.,A
Henderson will file for office soon.
E. Des Voignes, recently appointed
county treasurer to succeed w. T.
James, resigned, states that he will
be a candidate for nomination for
treasurer on the republican ticket at
the August election.
Yesterday G. E. Crocker made a fill
ing for nomination on the republican
ticket for county assessor. Mr.. Crocker
has been resident of this county for
many years and is wellknown in Bon
ners Ferry and among the farmers of
the county. He has had several years
experience in assessing, having been
a deputy assessor in the east for sever
al terms
1t is understood that H. L. Shively
will be a candidate for nomination on
the democratic ticket for commissioner
opposing ]. A. Welch.
A candidate, to have his name placed
on the ticket of his party must file a
nomination paper signed by himself in
the office of the recorder of the coun-
ty in which he is a candidate. In adj
dition he is required to file certifi-
cate of the chairman of the county
central committee or majority of the

of visitors from Standpoint. The parade
went through the business part of
town to the X. p hall.
Bush's six piece orchestra furnished
music for the dance and the music fur
nished was highly complimented es-
pecially by the Standpoint folks.
The hall was prettily decorated for
the occasion with Elk colors. In the
lodge rooms on the second floor a ban
quet was served by w. w. Ferbrache
and over 800 people were served from
nine o'clock on. Occupying the place
OF honor on the banquet boards was a,
huge cake, beautifully iced, which had
been made by the Bonner Bakery.
The dancing continued until one
O'Clock when the Standpoint special
train returned.
All the stores of the city were artis-
tically decorated with flags and Elk
colors in honor OF the event and many
unique and beautiful window displays
attracted the attention and comments
OF the Standpoint visitors who were
impressed and pleased with the recep-
ton given them by the Bonners Ferry
people.

as plain as a prairie fire. Senator
Borah seems to be sympathetic. Per-
haps he ought not to remain with us
and longer, he is so uncomfortable.
Perhaps it is time for the party to say
to this bellicose member: Must you
be going? Here's your hat
But has Senator Borah, all dressed
up in righteous indignation and mill
tant virtue, any place to go? He can't
join the democrats on the league is
sue. Has the siren lin sense of fog
horn) voice of Mr.. Hearst enchanted
him? Are we to expect a third party,
Hearst and Borah?
Whatever Senator Borah's alterna-
tive intentions, it seems to us his
threats to bolt for one reason or an
other are getting rather wearisome.
If he really must be going, isn't 1t time
for him to be on his way-as the
whale remarked to Jonah on the eve
ming of the third day.
HE will bolt first to Hearst and
then to oblivion. The republican party
can find a substitute for Borah much
easier than Borah can find a substi-
tute for the republican party"

THIEVES ENTER FOUR BUSINESS

Sunday night or early yesterday
morning when thieves entered the
New Variety Store, the Seattle Cafe,
the Pastime Cigar Store and r. braves

At the New Variety Store the glass
in the front door was broken and the
