TO IMPROVE
FIRST STREET

AT the meeting of the city council
last Tuesday evening it was decided
that before the council would ask the
city to authorize a bond issue TO IL
nance the purchase of the plant of the
Bonner Water & Light company, that
A. H. Featherstone, owner of the plant,
should be asked for a written ac-
ceptance of the city's offer to purchase
at a price of $50,O0000. Mr.. Feather
stones reported acceptance of the
city's offer came through third party
and the city officials desire an ac-
ceptance direct from Mr.. Featherstone
before any action is taken.
Another action taken was to in
struct City Engineer Cave to prepare
plans for building concrete curbs and
cutters along both sides of First street
in Park addition. 1t is understood that
property owners along this street are
in favor of making this improvement
the following summer, and there is
some talk to the effect that it might
be followed before long by the com
plete paving of the street.
The plans for this improvement
contemplate curb and gutter on each
side of the street, five foot concrete
walks and a 10 foot parking strip
which would leave 80 foot street
The improvement would extend from
the intersection of First street with
Park avenue at the Herb Carlson cor.
ner west to the M. p. DeWolf residence

Thursday evening by score of 31-1S
and defeated the Coeur d'Alene high
school team Saturday evening in the
fastest game of basket ball ever wit
messed in Bonners Ferry by score
of 22-21.
Local fans who have witnessed bas-
ket ball games in Bonners Ferry ever
since it has been played all agree that
the two games played last week were
the best they have ever seen here and
many college people state that they
were to be compared with college
games.
The first game Thursday evening
with Libby was witnessed by the larg-
est crowd that has attended a local
game in years.
Libby came here fully determined tc
defeat Bonners after having done sc
on their floor a few weeks previous
but they soon changed their minds
when they saw the determined fight
of the local boys. Bonners took the
lead from the start and was never
daunted in their fight for a victory

WEEKLY DINNER
LAST EVENING

large number of the business
men of Bonners Ferry gathered last
evening in the banquet room of the
international hotel to attend the week
Ily luncheon of the Kootenai Valley
Commercial Club. The meeting was
for the purpose of comforting with the
mining men of the county in regard to
an exhibit to be sent from Boundary
county to the mining convention which
lis TO convene in Spokane soon Only
a small representation of the mining
interests of the county was present
however, but letters were received
from others stating their intention to
Isend exhibits TO the congress
The club decided to appoint a COM
mittee whose duties would be to see
that the county is ably represented al
the convention and also to appoint a
man to attend the convention as the
lcounty's representative. President Fry
appointed on this committee Geo. r.
Causton, d. c. Mcdonald and d. M
Palmer.
! Another matter brought before the
meeting was the undertaking started
by Ewald Ripatti to finance and erect
a modern hotel building for Bonners
Ferry. Mr.. Ripatti is forming a cor
poration under the name of the Ripatt
Investment company, has engaged
architects of Spokane to draw plans
and has secured an option on the pro
posed site, the corner formerly occu
pied by the Bonner hotel. E. w Morri
son, of Morrison & Stimson, architects
of Spokane, was present and submitted
plans for the hotel. The contemplated
building would have dimensions oil
I74x100 feet, three stories high, so con
lstructed as to allow the addition of
fourth story if desired. The first floo
would contain lobby, restaurant an,
Kitchen, a store room on both ends o
the building and a room for barbe
shop. The two upper stories woul
contain 80 rooms each, part with bath
and all modern throughout. The cos
of the building was estimated at $50
100000. and with furniture the invest
ment would amount to between $40
100000 and $SO,000.O0.
Mr.. Ripatti has already financed tn
undertaking to the extent of 100000
to $S,000.00 He wishes to raise abou
: $25, 100000 in stock locally. If this ca
be done, he has been assured that tn
! balance can be iaised by mears of
mortgage on the building.
