80 CASES wHIsKEY
Two Large Shipments Found in Coal
Cars at Eastport Saturday.

Between so and 80 cases of high
grade whiskey, being smuggled into
the United States from Canada, were
confiscated last Friday and Saturday
by Spencer Lewis and l.. H. Young, u,
S. customs collectors at Eastport. The
whiskey was brought here Saturday
evening and turned over to the keep
ing of Sheriff Fisher, at the county
Jail.
The customs inspectors found the
whiskey in the bottom of coal cars
One lot was secured Friday night and
one Saturday morning.
The smuggling of whiskey in the
bottom of coal cars has been a favorite
method of getting intoxicants pass the
customs officers as it has been physi-
cal impossibility for the officers to
hunt for whiskey in each car of coal
that passes through the port. How
ever, the officers have found way to
find the whiskey. They have had a
number of iron rods made, with barbs
ON the ends. When these bars are run
through the coal to the bottom of a
car the barbs will catch on the sacks
In which the whiskey is packed. Then
a crew of men is placed at work to
uncover the whiskey.
The Eastport officials can now easily
locate whiskey in coal cars and will
be able to interfere with the business
of the whiskey smugglers to con-
siderable extent. At least, until some
new and better method of smuggling is
thought of.

OPERATIONS RESUMED AT PLANT
OF B0NNERS FERRY LUMBER CO.

The sawmill of the Bonners Ferry
Lumber Company resumed operations
yesterday morning. H. ]. Mccoy as
sistant general manager of the COM
pany, states that there are enough
logs on hand to keep the mill in opera
tiOn at least two months. The spring
drive on the Kootenai river will bring
in enough logs for the entire seasons
run.
1t has been stated that the company
would likely put on a night shift soon.
Mr. Mccoy says that this is not
probable on account of the present
market conditions and lack of sale of
timber products.
Until April / the minimum going
wage at the plant of the Bonners Fer
ry Lumber Company will be at 471s
cents per hour. After April LIST the
minimum going wage will be reduced
10 4215 cents per hour. This reduc-
ton was recently agreed upon at a
conference of the L. L. L. L. represen-
tatives and the employers.
The l.. L. l.. l.. men state that the
going minimum wage of 4215 cents per
hour will give employees higher wages
than are being paid by concerns not
affiliated with the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen.

L. L., was in Spokane Sunday and

wage scale. Saturdays report has
caused confusion in the minds of many
members and for the information of
these men we wish to call attention
to the facts. In the first place the
Four l. has two wage scales, the mini
mum wage, determined and altered by
the board of direcotrs only. and the
going-wage, which is determined and
changed by the district boards.
1T will also be remembered that the
minimum wage differs in two sections
of Four L territory. The minimum
for the coast section is 212 cents high
er per hour than the minimum for the
Inland Empire section. This means
that at present the coast minimum
is 45 cents per hour for common labor
as against 421a cents for the Inland
Empire Now it was to consider re
vision of this scale that the meeting
in Portland was called recently. ID
was not changed.
"In the Inland Emipre, at least in
districts nine and 10, eastern Washing
ton and northern Idaho, all the opera
tors are paying a going wage of 471A
cents per hour for common labor. But
at a meeting of the district boards
held in Spokane February 26 it was
decided to reduce the going wage for
these districts to the minimum on the
first of April. that is to say the pres
ent going wage of 471s cents per hour
will be reduced April 1st to 4215 cents
per hour or from $3.50 per day to S3.4O
per day for common labor. This action
was in no way affected or modified by
the recent meeting of the board of di-
lrectors in Portland.
1--WE wish also to correct the i'm
preston given by last Tuesdays press
that the Humbird Lumber company
at Standpoint has considered operating
10 hours day. Mr.. Humbird denies
that his company has had any such
purpose under consideration"

CLEANUP WEEK
APRIL IS TO q

The Civic League met last Wednes-
day evening at the First National Bank
with a representative group of women
present. The third week of April
April is to 23 inclusive-was desig-
mated as Cleanup Week. and
Paint-up Campaign" will be launched
at the same time The cooperation
of every resident of Bonners Ferry is
necessary to make it a success and
every one should give generously of
his time and muscle. Mrs. Z. Boileau
as chairman of Cleanup Week will
divide the town into districts and much
neighborhood competition is expected
An extensive membership campaign
will be made the second week of April
and everyone will be urged to help in
making Bonners Ferry the cleanest it
has ever been.
These few simple rules for Cleanup
Week should be observed:
Dead grass, leaves, clippings, papers
and boxes should be burned
Tin cans and rubbish that will not
burn should be piled where the city
teams can gather them up.
DO not dump in vacant lots.
Fill unsightly holes with tin cans
land cover with dirt.
Plant flowers, shrubs and trees
where they will improve and beautify
your property. Be generous with
flowers and they will be generous with
you.
Furthermore, keep your chickens
penned up. If you have no garden.
undoubtedly your neighbor has and
his rights should be respected A few
energetic hens in a short time can
undo the good labor of weeks, ruin
your neighbors plants and fill his
heart with rage and despair. Be fair
to others and keep your chickens
where they belong.
Let us be proud of our town this
year. Let us clean it up thoroughly,
fill it with beautiful trees and shrubs
which may be had for the digging, and
plant flowers everywhere. To accom-
plish this everyone must help and the
results in pride. self-respect and en-
joyment will be worth the expendi-
ture of time and strength

town with the town board OF trustees
Estimates and liberal ones. given at a
time when machinery is higher than it
is now, have been made showing that
all equipment and wire for the pro-
posed new power plant on the Moyie
river, would cost $4,000. other engi-
neers have estimated the costs of con-
struction at under $4,000. This
means that Bonners Ferry can secure
one of the best power sites in the
northern part of Idaho, buy all ma
chinery needed, construct a modern
plant and bring the electricity to the
city at a cost not to exceed $53 600 The
expenditure of $53 900 for a new plant
would give Bonners Ferry 500 horse
power, about three times the amount
now available, and enough to meet
all demands for several years to come
And by expending in the neighborhood
of $4,000 more at some future time,
when the demand calls for it, a sec
ond unit could be added at the power
plant which would generate another
500 horsepower. All engineers who
have visited the Moyie site and who
have investigated the possibilities
there at low water stages, state that at
least 1000 horsepower can be devel-
oped.
With 500 horsepower available in
Bonners Ferry we will be able to Sc
cure cheap power for manufacturing,
for heating and for cooking. There
never need to be time again when
we will have to refuse power to COM

OBSERVE ARBOR
DAY APRIL y
COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTEND-
ENT NAMES DAY FOR PLANT
ING TREES AND SHRUBS
DAVIS ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Urges Cooperation of All Citizens In
Proper Observance OF Day.

The laws of the state provide that
the county superintendent shall set
apart one day between the first day
of April and the first day of May to
be known as Arbor Day and that it
shall be the duty of the school authori-
ties OF every public school in this state
to assemble the pupils in their charge
on that day and to provide such exer-
cises as shall tend to encourage the
planting, protection and preservation
of trees and shrubs. In addition the
governor this year has issued procla-
nation calling on all the people of
Idaho to cooperate with the schools
on this day and to take an active part
in the planting Of trees along public
highways, upon waste lands, in public
and private parks and upon their own
premises Mrs. Caroline w. Flood,
county superintendent, has set apart
April % as Arbor Day She hopes
that the various civic organizations
will cooperate with the schools of the
town and county to plant trees and
shrubs and to beautify school grounds
and public highways throughout the
county
The full text of the governors proc
lamation follows:
State of Idaho, executive depart
ment, Boise.
Whereas, the demands of our indus
tries and the indifference of our peo-
pie are rapidly reducing the forests of
our nation and state, and
Whereas, the forests of Idaho are a
great source of our wealth and well
fare, providing not only building ma
terial and fuel but so per cent of the
labor employed in our manufacturing
industries, and
Whereas, there are great treeless
expanses in our state which would be
benefited and beautified by the plant
ing of trees, and such planting may in
time serve to avert a serious fuel
famine, and
Whereas, it is the duty of the county
superintendents of this state to set
apart one day during the month of
April to be observed as Arbor Day
and to arrange for the giving of an
educational program in each school to
encourage the planting, protecting and
preservation of trees, and
Whereas, bird life. which is so es-
sentiaI to the success Of our agricul-
tural industry, will be stimulated and
Increased by the planting of trees.
Now, therefore, I, D. w Davis, gov
ernor of the state of Idaho, do hereby
earnestly recommend that the people
of Idaho, upon the day designated by
their county superintendent as Arbor
Day, take an active part in the plant
ing of trees along the public highways
and streams, upon waste lands, in
school grounds, in public and private
parks, and upon their own premises,
In order to provide for the needs of
future generations. 1t is further urged
that Bird Day be observed in connec-
fion with Arbor Day to the end that
our state may be beautified, our re-
sources conserved, our agriculture
stimulated, and our industries devel-
eped.

The question that is to be decided
by the taxpayers on April is
weighty one. 1t has everything to do
with the future of Bonners Ferry. A
favorable vote means a progressive
step, one that will spell increased
prosperity for the home town
The matter of the amount of money
needed to give Bonners Ferry a water
and light system that will meet the
demands of years to come has been
thoroughly Investigated. Several COM
petent engineers have Investigated the
Moyie river power site. Competent
engineers have appraised the present
water and light system.
The present plant that is supplying
the town with water and light is in
a rundown condition. Everyone knows
this to be fact. We never know from
one day to another whether we will
have lights or water when we need
them. We do not know but that our
drinking water is being pumped from
the mill slough. Time and time again
We have been without lights and power
on account of the condition of the cleo
trio plant. One is not permitted to
install new machinery because the
power line is now overloaded. Bon
ners Ferry has lost industries which
would have come here with large sized
payrolls, because the electric plant
could not furnish needed power.
Representatives of electrical ma
chinery houses have visited Bonners
Ferry In the past few months and have
gone over the requirements of the

BASEBALL FANS ARE INTERESTED
May Try To Organize Baseball Club
Some Evening This Week.

Interest in plans for baseball team
was revived this week when it was
announced that the Boundary County
Fair Association had purchased the S.
D. Taylor plot of ground and would
use part of the ground for baseball
diamond. This tract is located just
west of town and is above high water
and is as close to town as the city ball
park.
Plans are being made to get to work
on the new diamond at once and it is
probable that a meeting will be called
this week at which time the baseball
fans may make plans for the season
effect an organization and elect Off
GERS.
Last Tuesday night the Bonners
Ferry Athletic Club members agreed
to get behind the baseball club this
year and it was proposed that members
give small amount each month
towards the support of baseball team
Local fans have induced Robert Hy-
dorm. of Priest River, to locate here
He is a cracking good ball player and
will be the backstop of the local nine
There is plenty of good material for a
nine in Bonners Ferry and winning
team is assured if given the proper
moral and financial support. In addi-
ton to the players of last year. in
Guiding Johnston, Gay, Poston, Cave,
