Former presidents, in this latter

Operations Prove Successful

Mrs. James Egan, accompanied by
her son Jimmie" returned to Bonners
Ferry Tuesday evening from Spokane
where Jimmie had been taking treat
ments from the celebrated surgeon.
DR. Eikenbarry. The treatments were
administered in the attempt to restore
the use of the young mans legs, which
were paralyzed several years ago fol-
lowing an attack of infantile paralysis.
There is every promise that the at
tempt will prove entirely successful.
Jimmie can now move about quite
freely with the aid of crutches and
braces, but has been warned by the
surgeon not to attempt too much at
first. Consequently he is exercising
but little each day until his limbs
gradually are developed and strength
ened. DR.. Eikenbarry stated that in
time he would be able to walk without
crutches. and possibly without the aid
OF the braces.

bilities of the company

hem Gold Mining Co. Referring to
the Tungsten Hill properly he said

new to him and that he was not lust
yet prepared to give an opinion. He
said, however, that this property
looked very good and that 8 could be
proved by prospecting the main vein
about 200 feet. He figures that the
ore will run strongly to gold and cop

Speaking in a general way of min

legitimate manner. in a way to get
the best results for the money ex-

so that results can be obtained. There
is no question of the gold values in this
property and if the gold saving device

Memorial Sunday was observed in
the Paradise Valley district with a
community basket dinner followed by
services in the church. Quite a fur
representation of the residents of that

dress befitting the day was delivered
by Major Walker

First Indian License Issued

Deputy Game Warden w. H. Heath
ershaw on Tuesday delivered special
permit to fish for sturgeon in the
Kootenai river to Jim Stanislas. one
of the Kootenai Mission Indians.
This is the first permit ever issued
from the state game department to
any Indian in Bonner or Boundary
counties and Mr. Heathershaw thinks
it likely that it is the first permit OF
the kind ever issued to an Indian Mr..
Heathershaw has been working for
some time to get the Indians to under
stand that they must observe the state
game laws the same as the white man
and he feels that a good start has now
been made and that other Indians will
follow the example set by Stanislas.

MOVIE SCENE MAY
FILMED HERE

1t is probable that Bonners Ferry
and Boundary county will be placed
upon the movie map, at least to the
extent OF providing the scenery and
site for filming some of the stirring
scenes in picture now contemplated
by the Universal Film Company of Los
Angeles, Calf. The company's atten-
ton has been called to this section as
a desirable site for filming their new
picture, and last Sunday two repre-
sentatives of the company, Messrs.
Joce and Kerrstead, appeared here to
look over the local field. They had
been referred to ]. A. Jacoby, who has
been helping them and furnishing
them with all the information at his
disposal.
According to Mr.. Jacoby, the picture
to be filmed is "The Conflict" a west
ern timber story now running in the
Red Book magazine Certain scenes
in the story are located upon a lake
with a mill dam. logging camps and
similar paraphernalia. The story calls
for the blowing up of the dam, the re-
lease of the logs stored there, with
the logs running down a small stream
for mile or two and finally emptying
into large river
The Universal representatives stated
while here that they wished to locate
a small stream near here with suit
able surrounding scenery. They would
build dam and create a small arti-
ficial lake, with camp on its shores
In this work and in filming the pict-
ure they would employ about a hun
dred lumberjacks in addition to their
own men.
The company has been hindered in
finding a suitable location for the
picture, having been bothered in other
places with unsuitable atmospheric
conditions. These difficulties are not
found here, however, and the Univer-
sal people stated that local conditions
were ideal for their work
They have gone to Bull creek in
British Columbia to look over a pos
sible site there, but expect to return
to Bonners Ferry later. If the Bull
creek site is not desirable, Bound
ary county site undoubtedly will be
chosen.

MEMORIAL DAY
is OBSERVED

Decoration Day was observed in a
very simple manner by the people of
Bonners Ferry. No exercises were
held Monday except that few re-
paired to the cemetery and decorated
the graves of all veterans under the
direction of the American Legion. AS is
the usual custom on this day, friends
and relatives also decorated the graves
of their loved ones at this time.
Sunday evening Memorial Sunday
was observed by holding union meet
ing at the Methodist church, with the
Rev. Fowler delivering the Memorial
address, Rev. Fowler took as the sub
ject of his very able discourse, PA
triotism, It's Meaning and Scope" a
subject very pertinent to the day. For
upwards of an hour Rev. Fowler was
complimented by the close attention
of his audience, which broke into ap-
plause time or two at some express
sion of especially stirring or appeal
ing sentiment
The speaker prefaced his remarks
with rather vigorous condemnation of
the tendency of the present day to
make holidays of those days that
should be set aside to sacred and
reverent memories. He called atten-
ton to the fact that Decoration Day
had been set aside that the nation
might pause and pay reverent respect
to those sterling men who had given
their lives as a sacrifice that our lib
critics might be maintained-and how
is the day observed? By making
great holiday Of it, with practically
no thought given to the deeper mean
ing of the day Striking out in his
main address, Rev. Fowler emphasized
in a strong manner those characters
tics that had made the American ma
ton great, and said that without de-
mocracy there could be no real pa
triotism He paid a glowing tribute
to the supremacy of the American ma
tion, stating that we were now at the
highest point ever reached as nation
in power and world prestige. And be-
cause OF this great position, America
stood at a most critically dangerous
period in her history. He cited history
to show that national wealth and pres
tige had often been followed by ma
tional decay and stated that America
would follow the same pathway if she
did not have ingrained into her very
soul the knowledge that her power and
prestige must be used for the better
ment and uplift of humanity.
Walden's band played a pleasing
number at the beginning of the servi-
ces and also for the closing hymn.
