To Develop 1000 Horsepower

A new power and light system is
being prepared for at the plant of
the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
and will be in use. probably, within the
next six weeks. The new system will
develop 1000 horsepower. The ex-
pense of installation and of buying
a turbine and other machinery will
run close to $4,000, it is estimated.
Machinery for the new system has
been ordered for many months but it
is believed that the equipment will be
here in six weeks.
The company is now using 450 horse
power for lighting and power pur-
poses. When the new system is in
stalled the old machines will be dis
carded or kept for auxiliary use.
The company is buying equipment to
be used in the dredging of its mill
pond and this machinery will be OPP
Grated by electricity.

MAY LET BIDS
NEXT MONTH

County Clerk j. B. Brody, the coun-
ty commissioners and many other cit
liens of the county are greatly inter
ested in seeing work started as soon
as possible on the state highway in
Boundary county. Mr.. Brody has
just received the following letter from
ID. p. Olson, directors of highways, of
Boise, in response to his quiry about
the road work:
wish to acknowledge receipt of
your letter under date of May 3rd in
regard to the status of work in Bound
AIRY county and beg to advise that your
project was filed with the Bureau of
Public Roads on August 18, 1918, num-
bered by the Bureau on September 4th,
inspected by Mr.. Rose on September
11th and finally approved October 3rd.
"The survey as l understand it was
made in 1917 by Mr.. Osborn, the plans
of which were never worked up and
when Mr.. Bassett's forces began the
plating up of field notes he found it
necessary to make some revisions and
secure additional information in the
field, and if | recollect correctly, his
work was finished up along about the
first of the year and since that time he
has been busy plating up the work
as required by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the federal government
long tedious job. However, he wired
me two or three days ago that the
plans on your project would be in our
hands on the Sth day of this month
and we will then turn our crowd loose
on them for re-checking and probably
! forward to the Missoula office of the
Bureau of Public Roads, for approval
on the 18th, and as soon as they advise
us that they have approved the same
and forwarded to Washington for final
approval we will advertise the jot
and get it under construction as soor
as possible. OF course you realize
that the federal money which is avail
able for your project is not available
until July 1st: however, we can carry
the construction for 80 or 60 days will
our local funds and not bill the govern
ment for their pro rata share until af
ter July 1st.
81 wish to assure you that we are
doing everything possible for us tC
do to expedite this work as we un
derstand the State of Washington in
tends to advertise several million dol
lars worth of work for letting the
latter part of June and we desire tC
let our work prior to them so as t
avail ourselves of contractors who
would otherwise be tied up in Wash
ington."

children's hospital room, helped
out in playground or gymnasium
equipment and conducted other work
for the general welfare of children.
First aid classes seem particularly
appropriate in Northern Idaho, where
drownings are so frequent, and in
dustrial accidents common. Many
mothers are delighted with the first
aid work also, especially where they
are remote from physicians.
"While the Red Cross cannot posi-
bly undertake all of he many vare-
ties of community service and pubhc
health which are needed everywhere
it can take the initiative in getting
all of the agencies of the community
together in working out a broad
welfare program. It's place is that
of development, cooperation, organl
zation. but naturally its resources
are insufficient to carry all he bur-
dens of any community. :,
Miss Wysor suggested specltlcally
that Bonners Ferry chapter employ
an executive secretary who could de-
velop the Red Cross program in this
county with especial emphasis on
health work School nursing, educa-
tional classes and home service would
be the major activities.
The board of directors voted, to
follow the above suggestion and to
request authority from division head
quarters to broaden the scope OF then
local work. Mrs. Katherine b. Eau
cett was appointed as the chapter
executive secretary. She viii assume
her duties September first. The di-
rectors feel they are fortunate in
being able to secure Mrs. Faucetl
who is particularly well quelified for
this work because of her wide exper-
ience in nursing and public health
as well as her acquaintance with local
conditions.
o. C. Wilson was appointed by
the board to handle tn war work WIN
reference to the claims of ex-service
men. Mr.. Wilson as secretary of the
American Lgion is already handling
most Of this work.

BARBER HERE TO
GET LAND DATA

q. H. Barber, of Boise, state commits
sioner of immigration, statistics, ETC..
was in the city Friday and Saturday
to look over the country and to confer
with County Agent Oman and with
Deputy State Horticulturalist Fer
brache.
Mr.. Barber was the guest of the
directors of the K0otenai Valley Com
mercial Club at luncheon Friday and
that afternoon was taken to various
parts of the county by f. A. Shultis.
Friday evening Mr.. Barber was in
conference with the members of the
agricultural committee of the COM
mercial club at a meeting held at the
First National Bank.
Commissioner Barber is spending 80
days in the nine northern counties of
Idaho for the purpose of obtaining
firsthand information of the offerings
of North Idaho to prospective settlers
so that he will be better able to di-
rect these settlers to the sort of lands
they want and be able to advise them
of conditions they may have to meet
and overcome. He said: q am here
to investigate your problems and to
see what you have to offer so that my
department will not make the mis-
take of sending men here who will be
disappointed and become dissatisfied.
In all parts of Idaho l find a greater
demand now for land than ever before.
Heretofore the southern part of the
state has drawn the larger part of the
immigration of new settlers. This
will not be true in the future for the
day of $1,000 per acre for clearing and
of $25 per acre water rights is now
gone in Southern Idaho and it will
cost just as much to clear land and
put it under cultivation there now as it
does here
Referring to the number of new
settlers coming in the state, the rec
ords show that in the irrigation dis
tricts the school population has been
increased Is per cent in the last year
and in Canyon county the school pop
ulation has been increased 20 percent.
Mr.. Barber visited the Copeland and
| the Porthill districts Saturday morn
| ing in company with County Agent
Oman. He will return here in July
in order to see the crops in growth.

Yesterday at noon the town council
and the members of the board of di-
rectors of the Kootenai Valley Com
mercial Club met at the International
hotel for luncheon and to discuss
the light and power plant project.
At this meeting A j. Kent stated
that he held the power rights of the
Moyie river and that these rights did
not expire until June "a. He said he
thought the city should proceed with
some plan to secure a municipal light
plant and that he would gladly trans
fer his claims to the Moyie power site
to the city. Mr.. Kent said he made
his fling on the Moyie river power
site in connection with Mr. Talbot. of
the Inland Empire Paper Company and
that the papers were in his (Mr
Kent's) name. He stated that he felt
certain the state engineer would give
the city an extension of time to start
actual work on the project.
Mr. Kent told that the best site for
power house would be on land owned
by the Bonners Ferry Lumber Com
pany and that the use of the land
could be obtained for little if any cost
There would be no difficulty about Sc
curing a right-of-way for the trans
mission of power.
Everyone present at the discussion
was unqualifiedly in favor of the city
proceeding to acquire a power and a
light plant and the council was asked
to take steps at once to inquire irtc
legal steps that might need to be taken
to protect the city's interests.
The matter of the purchase of the
! system of the Bonner Water & Light
Co. was talked and it was decided thai
the system should be purchased OF
rather such parts as could be used
providing the price asked was not cx
cessive.
