FAIR ASSOCIATION NEEDS MORE
MONEY TO COMPLETE PROGRAM

after all expenses had been paid with
the exception of the cost of the tent.
Even after paying for the tent, the as
sociation had left profit of $4,000
And of course the fair last fall, being
the first one, was naturally not as
largely attended nor as successful in
all particulars as the later fairs
will be.
"The new site purchased, comprising
16 acres adjoining the city of Bonners
Ferry, was secured at a very low fig
ure, the total price to be paid being
only 100000 One Bonners Ferry
man who has had experience in sell
ing acre tracts states that this prop
erty is worth 100000 an acre, and
while this price may be rather too op-
timistic yet it is certain that the prop
erty is worth very much more than
the price paid for it. This makes
whatever one puts into the association
a safe investment, for the very reason
that if the association ever decided to
end its existence the value of this real
estate would be ample protection for
the stock. Furthermore, if we are as
successful here as similar organiza-
tions have been elsewhere, and there
is no reason why we should not be,
the fairs to be given annually ought
Z to result in a profit"
The men who have the success of the
fair association at heart are very de-
sirous that all who have subscribed
for stock and not yet paid for it should
send in their payment at once. F'urth-
ermore, they feel that almost everyone
should purchase at least one share ot
stock. If this is done, the necessary
buildings can be erected and arrange
ments completed for a profitable fail
this fall.
1t is necessary that the purse strings
be loosened and that 200 shares of th'
stock of the Boundary County Fair AS
sociation be purchased by the peopl'
|, of Boundary county.

WILL HAVE
COUNTY AGENT
AGREEMENT SIGNED BY COMMIS.
SIONERS AND STATE EXTEN
SION DEPARTMENT
WILL ARRIVE ABOUT JULY ]
Man Secured Has Had Wide Exper-
fence in His Line OF Work.

Boundary county is to have a county
agent. This was assured Monday
when W. B. Kjosness, assistant county
agent leader of the extension division
of the state university, met in Bon
ners Ferry with the county commits
sioners and closed arrangements for
the placing of a county agent here
At that time the commissioners agreed
to the conditions imposed by the ex-
tension division and it is expected that
an agent will arrive here about July
Securing county agent for
Boundary county was made possible
for the reason that an agent is being
withdrawn from a county in southern
Idaho, which will release funds for
one here. 1t is very probable that the
man to be sent here will be a Mr.
Alexander, recently employed in
southern Idaho Mr. Alexander was
in Boundary county last summer to
look over the field. He is an energetic
young man with much experience, and
is said to have an enviable reputation
in his chosen work.
Under the present agreements Mr.
Alexander's services have been con-
tracted for until January 1st next
The county is to pay half the agents
salary and provide car and defray all
expenses in connection with the locai
work.

Is HELD FOR
. STEALING STOCK
JAMES DONEHOO OF COPELAND is
CHARGED WITH KILLING CALF
OWNED BY LEE CUDBAUER
C. FENWICK HELD AS WITNESS
Two Men Tell Very Different Stories
OF the Affair.

Acting upon information furnished
by c. r. Noe, stock inspector of the
Boundary County Stock Growers AS
sociation, Deputy Sheriff Osborne and
MIR. Noe on Tuesday arrested James
Donehoo of Copeland on charge of
stealing stock-the killing and selling
the meat of a calf belonging to Lee
Gudbauer. Donehoo was brought to
Bonners Ferry where he waived pre-
liminary examination and was bound
over to the district court under a $1,000
bond Cash bond was furnished and
he was released yesterday afternoon
Clark Fenwick, also of Copeland, is
involved in the affair and he is volun-
tarily remaining with the sheriff,
being held as a witness.
II appears that Noe, in his capacity
as stock inspector, had heard that
calf belonging to GUdbauer had dis
appeared, with suspicion directed
against Donehoo and Fenwicly Noe
approached the two men and finally
succeeded in getting both Donehoo
and Fenwick to admit that a calf had
been killed. but the two men tell very
different stories of the affair Done
hoo maintains, according to informa-
tion obtained by the Herald, that he
hired Fenwick to go out and kill a
calf belonging to Donehoo's father;
that Fenwick ostensibly did this, but
chered calf and dragged it out to the
road, when he called Donehoo and the
two men carried it into the Donehoo
store at Copeland where it was to be
sold
Fenwick states, on the other hand,
that he was with Doneho when the
calf was killed. that Donehoo shot it
knowing it to be Gudbauer's calf and
that after 1t was killed he (Fenwick)
Ihelped Donehoo dress it after the
brand had been cut off and buried,
and carry it to the store. Yesterday
Fenwick took the officers to the place
where he alleges the calf was but
chered and dug up a portion of calf
hide bearing a dewlap brand. The
Gudbauer stock carries a dewlap
brand.
1t is probable that Donehoo will be
tried in the district court next week.
He is the son Of Willis Donehoo and
conducts a store at Copeland

WILL INSTALL SAFETY SIGNAL
Great Northern To Place Device on
Crossing at End of Main Street.

For some time the city council has
been attempting to secure some sort
of safety signal on the Great Northern
Main street crossing, for the reason
that this crossing is very dangerous
one with its heavy traffic and numer-
Gus trains crossing and switching
there. The council was unable to Sc
cure action by the railroad company
until the matter was taken up with
the Public Utilities Commission. The
commission writes this week to City
Clerk Rowe as follows:
This commission is in receipt OF a
communication from F. S. Elliott, gen.
eral superintendent of the Great
Northern company at Spokane, with
reference to warning signal or safety
device at Main street, Bonners Ferry,
in which he says:
We will at once submit recommen-
dations and requests for authority for
placing at this point an alarm bell
and wig-wag.'
"This being one of the highest type
of safety devices used we presume the
installation of such would be satisfac-
tory and we are advising Superintend-
ent Elliott to that effect"

Plan to Improve
BOnners Cemetery

A movement is under way. sponsored
by the Civic League, to organize per-
manent cemetery association for Bon
ners Ferry. At a recent meeting of
the league a committee was appointed
to study into this matter and deter
mine If some workable plan can not
be arranged whereby Bonners Ferry
will be provided with better and
more fitting cemetery Those ap-
pointed on the committee were J. A
Jacoby, w. T. James, Mrs j. Stamm,
Mrs. c. d. Simonds and Mrs. f. A.
Shultis, Mrs. Shultis being an ex Off
clio member as president of the league.
If legal restrictions can be satisfied,
it is desired to have the city turn
over to some properly designated COM
mittee full control and management of
the cemetery. The council never has
had the time nor the funds to give
this matter the attention it deserves
If the committee is appointed and au-
thorized to proceed, they plan to un.
dertake putting water upon the
grounds. At present no attempt would
be made to provide water for sprink
ling, but only sufficient for the water
ing of decorative flowers and shrubs
Later, if funds are available, a suffic
lent supply might be provided fol
general lawn purposes and a carerakel
hired for a few months each summer
1t is believed that pump can b'
secured and arrangements made
whereby water can be pumped quit;
cheaply onto the cemetery grounds.

The directors of the Boundary Coun-
ty Fair Association are devoting con-
siderable time these days in getting
the new grounds in shape, building
erected and other plans completed so
that most successful fair can be held
this fall 1--WE feel the association has
done very WE'LL" said Secretary L. N.
Brown, when one. considers what we
had to start with and waht we have
accomplished during the short time the
organization has been in existence.
At present only 16S shares of stock
have been sold. That gave us a reve-
nue. of $16S000 from that source and
we received $4,000 from the fair given
last fall. To show for this we have
paid 100000 to apply on the purchase
price of the new site and have made
considerable improvements on the
grounds.
"There are other things to be done
We wish to put the grounds in proper
condition for the holding of our annual
county fairs. We want to build an
industrial hall and a stock shed. This
will need about 100000 to cover cost
of lumber, etc. 1t is very necessary
that these buildings should be erected
and as our treasury is empty We car
not do much until more money is
raised. There is only one way to raise
the money and that is through the sale
of stock. We believe we will be able
to raise the required money, but VIZ
can do so only provided everyone wht
has the development of the agricultur
al resources of the county at hear
will contribute his share, in the pur
chase of few shares of stock.
"No one should hesitate in doinl
this. The purchase of stock in tn

this two cents per share assessment
If they so elect, % per cent must be
paid not later than August LIST and
the balance by December 1st."
