Deer Very Plentiful

Game Warden Heathershaw was out
again last week after a cougar that
had been reported on Badly mountain
Because of lack of snow it was difficult
to find the animals trail and the hunt
was unsuccessful. Mr.. Heathershaw
reported, however. that there are a
great number of deer on the mountain
many more than usual at this time of
the year
In this connection Mr.. Heathershaw
states that the killing off of the cou-
gars will result in a marked increase
in the number of deer. 1t is estimated
by those who have given the matter
study that cougar will kill on an
average of 80 deer a year. Thus the
killing and snaring of four cougars
by Boundary county men during the
past few weeks should result in saw
ing to the district 320 deer during
the next year.

feet in agony but went back into the
game with never-give-in spirit. The
audience applauded Twitchell for fully
a minute. This act of Twitchells is a
fair example of the whole spirit shown
by Bonners boys in all four games
played at the tournament They lost
the majority of games but under such
a decided disadvantage fought like
demons to hold up the record of their
past seasons games.
Wallace played a hard game and at
times when he happened to run into a
player which would touch his painful
boil his head would swim in pain.
Boileau made 80 per cent of the
points of the Bonners team. Had
Boileau and Wallace not received a
vote each for a guard position by Boil
eau and a forward position for Wallace
each would have been on the all Pan
handle team
Secretary Nevett of the Panhandle
association, Coach Jordon of Kellogg
and Coach Goldberg of Coeur d'Alene
stated that the Bonners team was the
smoothest working machine on the
floor and displayed the finest team
work of any team despite the fact that
they had lost player whom the team
had been built around.
Spirit Lake was awarded the sports
manship cup and Bonners was second.
1t, however, was the concensus of opin-
ion among all that the sportsmanship
cup should have gone to the Bonners
Ferry team.

TAX VALUATIONS
TAKE A DROP

The past week has brought forth
additional figures relative to Bound
ary county's assessed valuation and
school taxation that are of unusual
interest to all parents and incidentally
taxpayers OF the county. The total as
sessed valuation of all property in
boundary county for 1920 has dropped
Deiow that of 1919 in the sum of $33S.-
334. The total assessed valuation for
1870 is $6,3SS,249 while in 1919 it was
$b>I26a5S3i AS pointed out before
in these columns this drop in valuation
is due to two causes, lessened yalua-
tion placed on railroads allowed bv
the state equalization board, and the
cutting off of the timber of the county
Mrs. G. w. Flood, county superin-
tendent Of schools, states that this les
sened valuation will have most un-
desirable effect in raising the funds
necessary for school purposes. The
loss in taxable valuation in each dis
trict will range from $4,000 and $4,000
to as high as $30500. In the Bonners
Ferry district. Independent District
NO. 4. there is decrease in valuation
of $131,S33. District No. / loses S16.-
SIS; district No. 2, $17,725: district
No. 10, $16,4O2 and No. IL, $1544s, these
being two poor districts District No
IA, the Northside, loses S2S,5O1; dis
trict No. IS, $25,0S7; district No. %
$30,654.
Funds raised under the general
levy of 3A mills. when apportioned
on the basis of 40 and 60 per cent. pro
vided in 1920 $6.32 for each child OF
school age in the county and for each
teacher $113.68 In 1921 this fund will
furnish only $5.12 per school child and
$S70S per teacher. Furthermore In
1920 there were 1850 children of school
age in the county, but in 1921 there
were 1247. This shows an increasing
number of pupils, but a decrease in the
revenue available for school purposes

WILL LOCATE
new HIGHWAY

C. Chaffins, district engineer of the
state highway department, is expected
to arrive in town tomorrow with a
party of engineers to locate perma-
nently the state highway across the
south bench, from the Peterson hill
into town
Three routes are under consideration
for the proposed highway. One con-
templates the construction of the high
way along the base of the foothills at
the east side of the bench; another
along the west line of the bench above
the Great Northern tracks, while the
third would be the use of the present
road with the elimination of a few
of the numerous sharp turns.
If the route skirting the foothills is
finally chosen, the highway will fol-

Friends and Patrons of School Honor
j. NJ. Peterson.

Last Wednesday evening a surprise
party arranged by the teachers and
patrons of the Northside school was
rendered to j. NJ. Peterson, principal
of the school. 1t was the intention of
the crowd to meet at the school and
go to Mr.. Peterson's home, but when
the crowd was sized up, il was decided
to stay at the school house and a dele
cation was sent after him to bring him
to school meeting" The size of the
crowd and the nature of the meeting
made it a double surprise. Old fash

S. r. Henry as toastmaster in a neat
speech told Mr.. Peterson how the
patrons and teachers had come togeth-
er to show their appreciation of his
efforts in the upbuilding of the school

in the past for the good of the school
and his ambitions for future achieve

social dancing when the crowd dis

MORE DRAINAGE
BEING PLANNED
DISTRICT MAY BE ORGANIZED AT
COPELAND CONTAINING
1000 ACRES
COST ABOUT $500 PER ACRE
Meeting Called for March Is TO Plan
Further Organization

A movement is under way to create
another drainage district in Boundary
county. The district involved is known
locally as the Copeland bend and con-
tains about 1000 acres. 1t lies south
and west of Copeland between the
kootenai river and the railroad. Its
northern boundary is the road running
from Copeland to the old river saw
mill and the southern boundary is the
road connecting the lower river road
with the bench road
The undertaking involved in this
project is purely one of drainage and
not of reclamation. No attempt will
be made to keep the overflow water
off the land. but a system of bitches
will be constructed that will drain the
water off much more quickly and allow
cultivation of the land sooner. BY
draining this tract it will be possible
to grow a much better quality of hay
and the land will be more productive
in all particulars.
County Treasurer F. Des Voignes
and Frank Clapp are interested in this
project and are pushing its organiza-
ton A meeting has been called of
all property owners and others inter
ested to meet at the court house in
Bonners Ferry on March IS at 2
o'clock to organize the district if pos
sible and go into the matter more fully
A partial list of the property own
ers involved in this project includes
the following: c. b. Van Alstyne. r

1t is estimated the total cost of
draining the;district will be about $500
per acre.

Ant-Cfgarette Bill Causes Comment

Much local comment has been
aroused over the unexpected passage
by the Idaho Legislature of the anti
cigarette bill. In this connection it is
interesting to note the number of
cigarettes consumed locally per month.
which undoubtedly will be somewhat
curtailed under the new law. L. N
Brown, who has wholesaled cigarettes
for several years. estimates that there
are fully $4,000 cigarettes sold in Bon
ners Ferry per month. If the COVER
nor signs the bill and it becomes law
the consumers of these $4,000 cigar
cites will either have to dispense with
the cigarette enjoyment or ship them
in from outside the state.

Files Suit for 5000

An action was filed Saturday in the
probate court on a change of venue
from Justice of the Peace Kent's court
being that of Emil b. Anderson and
wife VS.. Ida A. Hartlein. According
to the allegations of the plaintiffs,
they had contracted with Martin Est
lund to buy certain ranch and later
upon the solicitation of the defendant
assigned the contract to said defendant
for a consideration of $500. The com.
plant alleges that the defendant made
payments to the plaintiff under this
assignment of contract totaling about
$500 and later has refused to continue
the payments, thus leaving a balance
due of 5000. They seek the collection
of 5000 and costs.
