ry Lumber Company has only entered
into action in the matter upon the in
sistence of Bonners Ferry citizens and
manufacturers further west who will
be effected in the future if such a
precedent is established and allowed
to stand.
In the cutting of the timber of the
Callahan tract the Bonners Ferry
Lumber Company would probably
have to spend 100000 in roads. fumes
and camps before stick of timber
could be taken out. The greater
share of this expenditure would be
made through Troy, Mont. The cedar
products of the Callahan tract would
probably all be handled from stations
at Troy The payrolls of the camps
operating in the Callahan tract for
the next ten years to come would to
a large extent be spent in Troy. The
Callahan sale actually meant that
thousands upon thousands of dollars
would find their way into Troy pock-
cts. This sale also meant great
things for Bonners Ferry in that a
double shift at the sawmill for many
years to come was assured.
But if the Callahan tract sale is re-
jected it is not at all likely that the
timber of the Callahan tract will be
touched for many years and there is
the danger every year that forest fires
might destroy the whole tract. The
rejection of this sale also means that
the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
will not attempt to log their timber
on Ruby creek for the timber is too
inaccessible and too costly of logging
unless it may be handled in connection
with the Callahan timber.
1t is not reasonable to think that
money will ever be invested in mill
site at Troy or any other place along
the Kootenai river. The amount of
such an investment, according to all
manufacturers, is entirely out of pro-
portion with the timber which would
be available.
1t would seem that the people of
Troy who endeavored to have the CAL
, lahan tract sale rejected, have, If they
succeed, deeply injured their own best
interests. Maybe it has been case
of too hasty judgement and of being
duped by petty-minded and visionary
Drained real estate peddlers.
The following is from the Libby
Times, published at Libby, Mont, In
regard to the Callahan tract sale:
"That Troy will have a sawmill in
the near future seems assured by in
formation reaching L. F. Vinal, Koot-
enai forest supervisor, this week. Mr.
Vinal received orders from the district
office to re-advertise the government
timber tributary to Troy. This tim
ber was offered for sale about month
ago and the Bonners Ferry Lumber
Company made the highest bid. The
forestry service then ruled that the
timber would not be sold to be manu-
factured outside the county, provided
some firm would buy it at the Bon
ners Ferry price and manufacture it
Il at Troy.
I "The letter received by Mr.. Vinal
stated that the Standpoint Lumber &
Pole Company, a thoroughly reliable
firm. would bid on the timber at the
Bonners Ferry prices, II it were adver-
tised again, and would put In mill OF
so 900 feet daily capacity at Troy. Mr..
Ivinal Immediately prepared the ad-
Ivertisement and 1t appears in this pa
per." tFar some unknown reason the
advertisement mentioned did not ap-
pear In the Libby Times.)

VELVET BEANS ARE SHIPPED

We are glad to annOuce to the farm
ers of the parish that the Velvet Bean
order has gone, and the beans are no
doubt rolling by this time. Through
the cooperation of the Arcadia Cot
ton Oil Mill we are able to get the
beans to the farmers much cheaper
than we had planned. All orders
taken by me will be turned over to
the Oil Mill, and they will be handled
promptly on arrival Of the car. These
beans will come in even weight bags
Of 2 - bushels, and will cost the
farmers $3.50 per bushel F. o. B. Ar

1t is hoped that the farmers who
have not placed their orders will do
so at once Peas are very scarce and
very nigh, so this is an opportunity to
get some cheap legumes.
