PLAN TO BUY
CAR OF POWDER

The members of the executive COM
mittee of the Boundary County Farm
Bureau held an important meeting on
Saturday afternoon.
Soil Specialist Hitchcock, of the I'm
iversity of Idaho, Moscow, was present
and took up with the committee the
matter of securing tracts of from one
to five acres In various parts of the
county which could be used for the
purpose of making tests of crop rota-
tion. The tests, Mr.. Hitchcock said,
would be made under his supervision,
assisted by the county agent.
| Several farmers OF the county con-
sented TO provide ground for the ex-
periments.
The matter of securing carload of
stump powder was discussed at con-
siderable length and it was reported
that farmers of the county had thus
far agreed to take 1880 pounds of
powder while Copeland and Naples
and one other district had not yet re-
ported on the amount of powder
wanted.
! G. w. Gunther, representing the ID.
c. Farnsworth hardware store, told
the committee that his firm would
be willing to supply a carload of
powder at the same price quoted by
the DUPONT factory and that any of
the powder not wanted would be kept
by the store... Mr.. Gunther stated
that under this proposition the farm
ers would not need to contract for a
full car and the committee would not
need to assume any responsibility in
any manner.
No acceptance of the offer of Mr..
Farnsworth was made, the committee
desiring to take more time in learn
ing how much powder could be sold
the farmers in the county at the
wholesale price and, if possible, the
committee desired to handle the pow
der purchase under the supervision of
the Farm Bureau. The matter will
be definitely decided at another meet
ing of the executive committee to be
held in the near future.

IMPORTANT MATTERS DISCUSSEDBY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT BOISE

County Commissioner J. A. Welch,
and County Auditor j. B. BrOdy re-
turned Saturday from Boise where
they attended last week the sessions
of the county commissioners of the
state. At these sessions many inn
portant matters were discussed and
number of instructive talks were
given, Gov ID. w. Davis being among
the speakers.
Messrs. Welch and Brody talked
with Commissioner Hall and State En-
gineer Olson about work on the state
highway in this county. They were
told that the government had auth
orized the letting of contracts May /
or prior and that. the federal money
for the project would not be available
before July 1. If it is possible the
state authorities plan to proceed with
construction work, using the state and
county money first and depending on
the federal appropriation TO pay up
the latter part of the work.
Another meeting of the county COM
missioners of the state is planned for
next December and last week Iegis-
lative committee was named to pre-
pare and present to the next legisla.

to the former tax laws and the repea'
of the law providing for the collection
of personal taxes by the county asses
sor. They also favored the reclassi
fication of counties Of the state and
urged that some provision be made t.
provide for larger salaries for state

Above is photo recently taken of
the Walden Band, organized and di-
rected by j. A. Walden.
The past summer this band was
frequently called upon to furnish mu-
sic at public gatherings and the or
ganization has given several enter
tainments in which the audiences
were given real musical treats.
In the 15 months since the band was
organized Mr.. Walden has devoted a
great deal of his time and money in
endeavors to bring the boys and girls
to their present excellence and this
coming season the members of the
band expect to play for home enter
tainments and to be called to nearby
towns too. 1t is expected that ar
rangements will be made to take the
band to the Spokane fair next fall
The uniforms of the members of the
band were purchased last summer,
the money being donated by citizens
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1920-02-10

and county officers who are today paid
les than common laborers. The COM
missioners also want improvements
made in number of laws dealing
with tax matters.
Messrs. Welch and Brody learned In
Boise that a plan will be proposed
to reimburse all counties for money
paid out for transportation expense
in securing government trucks. 1t
is now the purpose of the federal gov
eminent to furnish new F. w. ID. auto
trucks equipped with dump bodies, to
all counties, for approximately $500
each. These trucks will be the alb
solute property OF each county but
may be Communicated In case OF
war. The trucks now In various
counties may be used only on state and
federal roads and the county must pay
SIS monthly rental. Boundary county
has cancelled its first order for gov
ernment trucks so that it can get the
new trucks with dump bodies under
the new arrangement.
Commissioner Hall told Messrs.
IWelch and Brodv that the federal es-
ltimate of the cost of the state high
way in Boundary county, from Bon
ners Ferry to the Bonner county line,
was S184, 100000. The county has
available for this construction, count
ing state and federal aid, $192,0000 90.
Mr.. Hall stated that contractors are
not anxious to take road contracts at
this time and that bids thus far sub
United have been far above the esti-
mates. For this reason it may be
possible that the money in Boundary
county will not be quite enough.

His is simple act of kindness to other

No need to experiment with such con-
vincing evidence at hand.
Mr.. Stiles speaks from experience.
You can rely on what he tells you.
Elmer e. Stiles, Myrtle St., South
Paris, says: About the only trouble
had was pains through my back over my
kidneys. It was very annoying and most
of the time felt lame. I found Dosn's
Kidney Pills very helpful, as they re-
lieved me right away. I used only one
box and have had no return OF the com.
plaint."
