Protest Montana Embargo

AT the meeting of the directors of
the hootenai Valley Commercial club
held yesterday the secretary, d. NJ
Palmer, was authorized to write Gov
ernor Stewart, of Montana. protesting
against the recent embargo placed bv
Montana authorities on all fruit and
vegetables grown in Idaho, with the
exception of potatoes.
The Montana authorities placed an
embargo on Idaho hay several months
ago. The last embargo was placed
about four weeks ago. 1t is alleged
that the embargo was placed on ac-
count of instances of the alfalfa weeviI
being carried into Montana in Idaho
alfalfa.
lnasmuch as Boundary county and
other counties of northern Idaho do
not raise alfalfa hay and the weeyil
pest is not found here, it is considered
an injustice that northern Idaho pro-
tface may not be shipped into Montana
without the nuisance of inspections.
Other towns of northern Idaho will be
asked to join with Bonners Ferry in
protesting against the discrimination
against the farmers and fruitgrowers
In the meantime H. G. Ferbrache
deputy state fruit inspector, will make
daily inspections at the Great North
ern depot so that no fruit or vegetables
shipments will be held up any great
length of time

Miss Sigrid Arans0n To Have Charge
OF Organization Work.

me Following letter from the Eli
son White Chautauqua System was re-
celVeu this week by the Herald. veri-
lying the ehautauqua dates as puh-
ilshed In this paper last week and tell
ing something Of what may be expect-
eu IN the program of this season:
Your chautauqua dates will be An
gust II, Is, 19, 20, 21, %.
Our organizing representative. Miss
olsrlu Aranson, who is familiar with
the program and who has had a very
successful experience in chautauoua
work, will spend one day with vour
guarantors in the very near future 10
help you as much as possible i'm or-
sanlzing the committee for work. She
VIII advise you the exact date of her
coming.
Unless something unforeseen ham
pens, we believe this will be chautau-
qua's best year to date, in your com
munity. All our other circuits now
in the field are reporting unusual in
terest everywhere. Our big program
is built to serve high and definite
purpose and we want it to succeed be-
fore your audiences.
May we refer briefly to two import
ant changes in which you will be in
terested? This season we are greatly
increasing the single or gate admission
which change should not only
increase the committees revenue but
should make it easier to sell season
tickets, the price of which remains
as before. The second change is an af-
ternoon of complete rest for chautau-
qua patrons in the middle of the
weeks events. We are scheduling no
program whatever at the tent on the
fourth afternoon. This meets a sug-
gestion often made to us that the busy
housewife and business man should
be given an opportunity during the
week to catch up with neglected
housework or business. 1T Pays to
Advertise on the fourth evening, is the
only program for adults that day.
Junior chautauqua will be more
comprehensive and helpful than ever
and Will follow the advanced lines
of the work in this department last
season In certain sense, we feel
that the possibilities of Junior chast-
tauqua alone are worth the cost of che
entire chautauqua and we solicit your
most earnest cooperation in our char
acter-building work among your. girls
and boys. Cordially yours,
WHITE.

TO START ROAD
WORK VERY SOON
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
AND DISTRICT ENGINEER in
CITY ON ROAD MATTERS
TO OPEN BIDS FRIDAY, JULY e
VIII Rebuild Poorest Sections of state
Highway First.

VIM. j. Hall, commissioner OF the de-
partment of public works, and w. j.
Bassett. district engineer, were in the
city yesterday morning, comforting
with the county commissioners in re-
gard to the state road work to be
started soon in this county from Bon
ners Ferry to the Boundary Bonner
county line. Commissioner Hall and
Engineer Bassett have been going over
the route of the proposed state high
way with contractors who intend to
bid on the work
While in the city they watched the
new county gravel loader at work, and
will probably make arrangements to
hire the machine for the state work.
Commissioner Hall has asked the
county commissioners to be in Boise
at the time the bids for the new road
are opened July %. Commissioners
from Bonner county will be there at
THAI time as the Bonner county state
road work bids will be opened the
same day and contracts awarded.
Mr. Hall states that actual work will
be started very soon after the con-
tracts are awarded and that if the
weather permits the work will be com
pleted this fall 1t is proposed to re-
Ibuild the road in the worst places first
He said that in other counties it has
been found that owing to high cost OF
material and labor the funds available
have not been sufficient to complete
the road work on state highways as
per specifications and in these instanc-
es the state highways department has
cut out work on the road that was in
the best condition and has spent the
money available on the poorest sec
tions OF road. If it seems necessary
this procedure viii be followed in
Boundary and Bonner counties.
