People Coming West This Spring

r. z. Luse returned Friday from
six weeks visit to his old home in
Iowa, and has resumed his duties as
cashier at the G. N. depot w. w.
Jayncs, who has been supplying during
Mr.. Luses absence, will be permanent
ly stationed at Standpoint.
Mr. Luse reports that financial con
ditions are rather bad in Iowa. The
low price of farm products taken in
connection with the high prices paid
for seed is going to force quite large
number of farmers into bankruptcy.
Back there renters are paying in rent
as much as raw land out here costs
per acre. Unfavorable conditions have
not depressed the high price of land as
yet, said Mr. Luse. Just before leav-
ing there he knew of one farm that
sold for $500 an acre and another for
$415 per acre. He looks for a large
movement of homeseekers from Iowa
to the west this spring on account of
the high priced land and unfavorable
financial conditions in general.

CYNIDE STRIKES
RICH ORE BODY

j. B. Ellis, president of the Cynide
Gold Mining Co., and T. j. Hollinger
returned Sunday from the company's
mines ON the Buckhorn and report
that a fine new body of ore was run
into Saturday evening in the Boston
tunnel The ore extends the full width
of the tunnel, five feet, and is appar-
entity the same high class ore as that
found in the Upper Hoosier Boy tun-
mel. In fact, striking this body of ore
in the Boston tunnel practically proves
beyond question that there is con-
tinuous body of ore extending from
one tunnel to the other. Recent ex-
plorations, taken in connection with
work formerly done, proves there is a
very extensive body of rich ore within
the company's holdings.
The mine is being developed so as
to use the Stopping process, the mod
ern method of mining, and all ore will
constantly move down hill from the
mine to the mill.
The Cynide people are making many
improvements the past few months.
The ore bins both at the mine and
mill are completed and ready for the
installation of the tram which is now
on the ground. It is planned to start
the mill in about two weeks and work
out some gold bullion to be placed on
exhibit at the Spokane mining con-
gress. They now have 100 tons of ore
ready for the mill
There is about 30 feet of snow at the
mine.

aid, F. A. Shultis and A. ]. Kent.
This committee with the exception
of Mr.. Kent were present at Spokane
last Saturday and met with the chamb-
er of commerce in that city. The rea-
sons for a new state were put be-
fore the Spokane body by the Bonners
Ferry and Standpoint men and their
support solicited. This was promised
by those attending the Saturday meet
ing, but they desired a larger express
sion from the members of the Spokane
organization and called meeting for
yesterday afternoon. The results of
that meeting have not yet been learned
here.
The reasons put forth for state di-
vision are numerous and we'll known
Northern Idaho has no logical connec-
ton with the southern part of the
state, neither has eastern Washington
with western Washington. The natural
trend of all business, economic and
social life is toward Spokane as the
capital 1t is believed that the united
support of all northern Idaho will be
behind this movement for state divi-

Again Under Way to
Create New State Out of Northern
Idaho and Eastern Washington

A movement is again under way for
the creation of new state from the
ten northern counties of Idaho and a
portion of eastern Washington. The
rolling ball was really started by a
suggestion offered by ]. B. Cowen.
cashier of the First State Bank, at
the commercial club luncheon given a
week ago Monday. The Standpoint
guests had been yoicing their exasper-
alton at the possibility that the state
tuberculosis sanitarium would not be
built there, and placed the blame on
the long-standing selfishness of south
ern Idaho. Whereupon Mr.. Cowen
emphatically stated that what was
needed was the creation of a new
state.
This met the immediate approval of
the Standpoint visitors. The meeting
adjourned before any definite action
was taken, but the local club received
an invitation from the Standpoint
chamber son after the visitors had
reached home, asking Bonners Ferry
to send delegation to Spokane to
meet the Spokane chamber of COM
merce on Saturday and plan for the
creation of new state. This was

WIN ANOTHER
EASY VICTORY

Standpoint met an overwhelming de-
feat at the hands of the local team
last Thursday evening, Bonners win
ming by score of 39-1.
The game was Bonners' from the
start and never during the game was
the Bonners team headed off in it's
fight for a goalless victory. Sand
points lone point came through foul
throw.
The team work of the local quintet
was the best displayed this season
and once in possession of the ball it
never left their hands until throw
for the basket was made.
Boileau, Kent, Twitchell, Wallace
and Welch played nearly the whole
game Meyers replaced Twitchell in
the last half. 1t is impossible to men
ton any stars as they are all stars,
playing as an individual unit and
fighting for a state championship.
Bonners plays it last games on the
local floor this week with Eureka on
Tuesday and Newport on Wednesday
These are expected to be good games
as both are reported to have strong
teams. Meyers, Wallace and Andrews
will play their last games on this floor
in these games with the Bonners Fer
ry high school.

Little Genevieve Moore Meets Terrible
Fate ON Tuesday of Last Week.

Word reaches Bonners Ferry through
Ernest Moore of Priest River that on
Saturday week ago, little Genevieve
Moore, the youngest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Moore, suffered burns which
shortly afterwards caused her death.
According to the report Genevieve's
clothes caught fire from an alchohol
lamp in the school room, and becom-
ing frightened she ran from those who
would have helped her and was so
severely burned that death ensued.
The accident happened Saturday, death
following the next Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were formerly
highly esteemed citizens of this place
and Genevieve was their youngest
child, now about 10 years of age. The
sympathy of the entire community will
go out to Mr.. and Mrs. Moore and
family in their great bereavement.

TELL OF LENGTH OF LIFE
Aoe Secrets Of Animals, Trees, Piants-
and Even Birds, Easily Pene-
trated by the Initiated.

AS most people are aware, 1t Is pos
stble to tell the age Of horse by e1-
amining it's teeth, remarks writer
In London Answers.
The age Of a sheep may be known
IN a similar manner-that Is, by its
teeth. The number Of years COW
has lived is found by different meth
cd. The horns are examined, and the
number of rings on these horns tells
almost exactly the age of the cow.
Just as the horns indicate the age
of the COW, so the development Of the
antlers helps to calculate the age Of
animals belonging to the deer family.
and the length of life Of other horned
animals is arrived at In the same way.
The age Of many birds can be dis
covered by examining the spurs.
Trees often live to very great age.
and while they are standing 1t is a
difficult matter to arrive at the age
Of these; but when they have been
cut down the age of the tree may be
reckoned by counting the number Of
rings visible in the section.
It Is q comparatively easy matter
to learn the age Of growing mistletoe.
as each shoot sends of two new
shoots each year, and by counting the
Joints from the root to the tip Of any
branch the number Of years the mis-
tletoe has lived may be computed.

feet fell too solidly. There were no
dogs In the mountains to follow at
heel; and she had no desire whatever
to meet Shag, the faithful hybrid that
used to be her guardian In the hills.
For Shag had gone to his well-de-
served rest several seasons before.
Two other possibilities remained. One
was that this follower was human
being, the other that 1t was cougar.
Ordinarily human being Is much
more potentially dangerous to a wom-
an In the hills at night than a cougar.
A cougar is an abject coward and
some men are not. But Snowbird felt
herself entirely capable OF handling
any human foes. They would have no
advantage over her; they would have
no purpose in killing from ambush
and she trusted to her own marks
manship implicitly. While it is an ex-
tremely difficult thing to shoot at
cougar leaping from the thicket. a tall
man standing on a trail presents an
easy target. Besides. she had vague
sense of discomfort that If this animal
were cougar, he wasn't acting true
to form. He was altogether too bold.
The animal on the trail behind her
was taking no care at all to go silent
ly. He was simply pit-patting along,
wholly at his ease. He acted as II the
fear that men have instilled in his
breed was somehow missing. And
that Is why she instinctiyely tried to
hurry on the TRAIL.
The step kept pace. For long
mile, up a barren ridge, she heard
every step it made. Then, as the
brush closed deeper around her, sht
couldn't hear 1t at all.
She hurried on, straining to the
silence. Nc, the sound was stopped
Could it be that the animal, fearful al
last, had turned from her trail? And
then for the first time gasp that
