HERALD BEGINS THIRTIETH YEAR
WITH ISSUE OF THIS WEEK
Was Established By S. ID. Taylot-Under the Present
MANAGEMENT Since March Is, 1912---The Official
Paper of County and City.

With this number the Bonners Ferry
Herald starts upon it's thirtieth year of
service to the people of the Kootenai
Valley and Panhandle of Idaho, and in
looking back over this long period
the management can proudly say there
is not an instance in which the Herald
has not staunchly supported and
worked for the development of the
district and the welfare of its citizens
and in turn there has not been time
when the Herald has not received its
fullest share of the patronage in the
power of the people of Boomers Ferry
and surrounding country.
It has been the ambition of the pres
ent management of the Herald to make
it real newspaper, to truly and fully
chronicle the news of this district, to
help in every way to bring to this
district greater prosperity. Each sue
ceeding year has brought nearer the
fullest realization of this ambition. The
Herald has ever maintained its leader
ship in the newspaper field of Bound
airy county and it has always held the
confidence and respect of the home
people as well as the people of all
parts of the state.
The Herald is starting upon another

20 feet deep at this point. The car
disappeared under the water. Mr..
Smith and Miss Jeffries had consider
able difficulty in getting out of the car
as the top was up and Miss Jeffries

CALL FOR BIDS
FOR STATE ROAD
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION is
NOW READY TO START WORK ON
BOUNDARY COUNTY ROADS
TO GRAVEL lS MILES OF ROAD
Bids VIII BE Opened ut Boise On
July %.

Good roads boosters in this district
will be greatly interested in the fact
that the State Highway Department
is calling for bids for the construction
of Is miles Of gravel surfaced road
between Bonners Ferry and the Bon
ner-Boundary county line, and the con
struction of several bridges along the
route. The official call for bids is
published in another column of this
weeks Herald.
Bids will be received until two
o'clock the afternoon of July 2S at the
office of the Commissioner of Public
Works, Boise. Idaho.
Seven bridges are included in the
plans and specifications for the new
road which is officially known as Fed
eral Aid Project No. 90
Plans, specifications, forms of con
tract, etc, are Obtainable from d. p.
Olson, director of highways Boise, Ida
ho. or w. j. Bassett, district engineer
Occur dAlene, Idaho. A deposit of
$40 is required on each set of plans
and all proposals must be accompanied
by five per cent of the total amount
of the bid.
The county commissioners and coun-
ty clerk have been endeavoring for
many months past to get action on the
Boundary county road project and
have been in constant correspondence
with the state officials who have been
held up in all the work all over the
state on account of the fact that the
government has been very slow in pro-
viding the money for road purposes
and in approving road project plans.
1t is generally realized that it has been
the dilatory tactics of the government
and not any lack of the state or county
officials that has delayed the construc-
tion of the Boundary county state road
project When the matter was first
taken up it was figured that construc-
ton sould be started by May /. 1t
was only last week, however, that the
final government O. X on the road
plans was secured
1t is understood that the Bonner
county road project will also go
through at this time and that the
road from Bonners Ferry to Standpoint
will be all constructed and be in use
yet this season.
The commissioners are highly elated
that at last they have secured definite
results in the matter of state roads in
this county and all feel that this is
only beginning and that within few
more years through state and federal
aid. all of the main roads of the county
will be rebuilt and graveled and put
in firstclass condition.
The construction of the road from
Bonners Ferry to the county line
means a great deal to the district. The
county only has to pay one-third of
the total cost and is not required to
take care of the up-keep of the road
and so will have more money for other
much needed road work in other sec
tiOns of the county

new COMPANY
STARTS WORK

]. A. Tormey. secretary and treas
urer of the international Lumber COM
pany, was in the city Thursday and
Friday making arrangements for the
opening of the company's camps and
mill in the northern end of the county,
leaving for the Addie district Saturday

The International Lumber company
was recently organized in Spokane to
take over the interests of the Tormey

yard. Wash. is the president of the
company and r. G. Orr is vice presi-
dent. c. T. Orr and his brother are
both practical lumbermen and have
been engaged in this business all their
lives.
For the past year the Ohio Match
company have been operating the
former Tormey mill in the north part
of the county. having purchased some
of the white pine holdings of the COM
pany and having taken a lease on the
logging equipment and mill. This lease
expired July l when the holdings were
absorbed by the International Lumber
company.
Mr. Tormey states that the holdings
lao million feet of white pine and
mixed timber with large percentage
of valuable cedar. The company now
has a crew at work surveying for
flume to be built at once on Mission
creek About five miles of flume is
to be constructed soon and eventually
the company will flume all its lumber
from the mill to the Great Northern
Railway. The present mill is located
on the west fork of Mission creek and
it is proposed to build another mill
on the east fork and to connect the
two mills by flume.
Mr. Tormey states that only small
crew will be worked for the present
but as soon as possible a crew OF 4u
to so men will be secured.
c. T. Orr will be in active charge

year with the best mechanical equip
ment of any newspaper in the north
west in town of the size of Bonners
Ferry This fact is often remarked
by visitors who have the opportunity
of visiting all newspaper plants and
who are in a position to Judge. The
men in charge of the equipment are
artists of many years experience who
take an interest and pride in their
work and who are always anxious to
please the patrons of the Herald. 1t
is because of these things that the
Herald is patronized by many large
firms outside of Bonners Ferry and
Boundary county. In fact, about so
per cent of the income of the Herald
is from eut-of-the-county firms.
The coming year holds promise of
further Improvements and advance
ment. The Herald will never be con-
tent to pass through any single year
without advancement in some depart
ment. Our policy is merit Will Win
and we are certain that the Herald will
always receive the generous patronage
of past years as long as it is worthy
and renders the service the people
have the right to expect Of it.

PLAN FOR PAVING
WEST TULSA ROAD
Officials Expect to Get
Work Done by Cutting
Section From City
COUNTY MAY DO WORK
Texas Refinery Will Oil Ugly
Stretch Until Work Is
Started

Paving OF the West Tulsa road.
between the end OF present paving
and the Red Fork hard surfaced
road appears highly probable. This
fact developed yesterday noon at
the weekly luncheon of directors of
the chamber of commerce at which
there was a general discussion of the
project.
The plan most fayorably received
is to cut Off that part OF the city
In which the bad stretch of road
is located and put in into the county.
IL is understood that the county has
sufficient road funds to pave this
road. city Attorney Frank T..
Duncan stated that an investiga-
tion showed the plan OF divorcing
the district from the city is both
legal and feasible
4 The paving would cost approxim-
Ately $4,000 according to various
estimates. with paving at S4.20 II
would be heavy duty paving, with
probably a seven or eight-inch base.
Both Mr., Duncan and C. E. Griggs,
city engineer, declared that paving
companies will not bid on projects
unless they see the money on the
table" Paving script is going beg
ging, with no one sufficiently inter-
ested In It to buy II.
w. X. Holmes, superintendent of
the Texas refinery, said his company
would donate $4,000 barrels Of road
oil to use until paving is installed and
that the company will furnish a
wagon and help spread the oil. The
Division street road, on which paw
ing would be laid, is now being re-
paired, and II Is probable that 1t will
be oiled. The city also plans To
grade the road block east. which
Is not so sandy and which has been
oiled previously by the Texas COM
pany
Ed Dalton. county commissioner,
declared he was highly in favor OF
fhe paving project following the
dlvorcing of the city section. Mem
bers of the chamber OF commerce
believe the other county commits
sioners will also he favorable, and
that the project can be worked out
soon.
A trip was made TO the road fol-
lowing the directors meeting.
