Mr.. Luse stated this morning that
it would be several days before the
Woodmen could determine the ex-
penses of the picnic. 1t is certain
that the loss on account of the bad
weather will amount to over $1,000
However, the WoOdmen are not kick
ing and are now planning to take care
of their dance pavilion so that they
can use it until winter weather sets
in. The general executive committee,
consisting of r. E. Luse, w. c. Dutton,
Everett Luse, Arthur Brooks and Geo.
Cash are not wholly disheartened by
their bad luck Saturday and claim
that they may put on another picnic
next year They fully demonstrated
their ability to handle an entertain
ment of this kind on large scale
and would have been successful in
every detail had the weather man used
better judgment. They consider that
the picnic was far more successful
than they could have expected con-
sidering the weather.

The schools of Independent School
District No. will open for the 1920
q term on Tuesday September and
from all indications the enrolment
will be far larger than ever before.
The prospects for a successful term,
one of higher accomplishments than
ever before, also are assuring.
Supt. T. S. Kerr is anxious to inn
press upon all grammar and high
school students the need Of enrolling
the first day of school. This is es-
pecially important for the high school
students as a system has been put
into effect whereby all high school
students may enroll and take care of
all preliminaries the first day and be
in readiness for actual work the fol-
lowing day.
The school board is at work on a
plan to provide a girls dormitory for
the benefit of girls from out-of-town
attending high school. Part of the
furniture has been purchased for the
dormitory and Mrs. Edison Cave has
been engaged to take charge of the
building. Ten girls can be accomo-
dated in the building and Supt. Kerr
asks that any out-of-town girl desir-
ing Accommodations make application
at once. The dormitory. will be in
the house formerly occupied by ]. F.
McGlocklin.
Independent School District No. 4
is now one of the few "class A" dis
tricts of the state and as such need
not require the eighth grade pupils
to take the final state examinations
and may select its own textbooks
The trustees of the district are proud
that the Bonners Ferry schools have
at last attained the proficiency,
equipment and teaching staff that
permits the district to be recognized
as among the best In Idaho.
Two additional grade teachers
have been hired this year as at least
two of the grades will be over-crowd-
ed and will have to be divided. The

some 25 autos had been decorated on
Friday night with the expectation of
driving here Saturday. The rain
scared the Standpoint folks out The
spokane and Coeur d'Alene lodgemen
and their families also gave up the
trip on account of the inclement
weather. although the local Woodmen
had engaged rooms in all the hotels,
expecting arrival of contesting drill

However, there were a good many
visitors on hand, representing Coeur

smaller towns. r. e. Luse, of the
general committee of the local Wood

In the face of that direct appeal, the
result of the election, November 4
was a decisive reputation of the lead
ership of President Wilson by the
American people. Republican major
tiles were elected in both houses OF
congress.
II was in the face of this repudia-
tion that the president, two weeks af-
ter election day, November IS, an
nounced that he would sail for France
Immediately after the opening of the
regular session of congress, for the
purpose of taking part in the discus

PLAN NOW FOR
COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE HELD FOR THREE DAYS
ON OCTOBER 9TH, Sth and 9th
AT THE CITY PARK
W. 0. ROSEBAUGH IS SECRETARY
Premium Lists VIII Soon Be Ready
for Distribution.

Stockholders of the Boundary
Fair Association, members of the
of the Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club and the citizens of the county
will, from now on, devote every eff
fort towards making the county fair
this fall a success.
The fair will be held on October
7, s and 8, according to the present
plans. A huge tent will be secured
this year to house exhibits. The fair
grounds will be on the site of the city
park on the Northside and it is prob
able that many of the buildings used
for the Woodmen picnic will be kept
for the use of the fair association.
The board of directors have Sc
lected w. o. Rosebaugh to serve as
secretary and he is planning to de-
vote all of his time to the fair plans
and is asking the cooperation and
assistance of every man and woman
in the county He feels that if the
fair can be made a success this fall
the permanent association will con-
tinue from year to year and result
in good for the entire county.
1t is quite possible that arrange
ments will be made for the elaborate
entertainment of visitors at the fair
Mr.. Rosebaugh is now in communi
cation with a carnival company that
will come here and put on a good
entertainment If conditions permit
there will also be horse racing and
sports of various kinds. An effort
will also be made, no doubt, to Sc
cure aeroplane exhibitions and
flights
The premium list for the fair this
year is now in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for distri-
button in a few days. These lists
will be sent to every person in the
county. If you don't get one, write
to Secretary w. o. Rosebaugh and
he will be glad to mail it to you.
Mr.. Rosebaugh, together with other
members of the fair association, plans
to continue the soliciting of stock
subscriptions all during the fall
months. Stock certificates will be
ready to issue in a short time to
those who have subscribed for stock
lust as soon as sufficient stock has
been subscribed the board of direct
ors will buy permanent grounds and
arrange for the construction of per
manent buildings.
Liberal prizes are to be offered this
fall for all exhibits and there is no
doubt but that the best exhibits ever
shown in this county will be shown
as most of the farmers of the county
have known for several months that
a fair would be held and have been
preparing for it.
Every farmer and fruit-grower
should make it a point to have sew
eral exhibits at the fair this fall
Show your neighbors what you have
been able to accomplish. See for
yourself what kind of crops are grown
in the various parts of your own
county.
The judges of the exhibits at the
fair will all be professional judges
and will be secured from among the
experts at the University of Idaho.
Mr.. Rosebaugh states that the time
is very short in which to prepare all
plans for the fair and that he will
greatly appreciate any and all sug-
gestions and assistance from Bound
airy county citizens.

The county commissioners have a
crew of men at work on new grade
for the Mission creek hill road and
will have the new route ready for
use in a couple of weeks.
This is an improvement in the
county road to Porthill and Copeland
that will be appreciated as the Mis-
sion creek hill is one of the worst
grades in the county and is so To-
Gated and so full of rocks that it is
impossible to repair it or keep it in
passable condition.
