Wins ANOTHER
EASY VICTORY

The Bonners Ferry high school
basket ball team defeated the Rath-
drum high school on the local floor
Saturday evening by the score of
fila
Much to the disappointment of the
local team Rathdrum did not put
up much of a fight to win, this de-
feat here being the third defeat on
their trip, having been defeated at
Standpoint and Libby. The Rathdrum
boys lacked the fight and pep they
displayed when Bonners first played
them and was defeated by two points.
The local team played up to their
standard, making many beautiful long
shots, but after the game had pro-
gressed a short time they lacked the
team work they have displayed in
their more closely contested games.
Jack Mcnamara refereed a good
game
Andrews, Wallace, Meyers, Boileau
and Kent started the game. Twitchell
Welch and Rahlf also played por
tion of the game for the local team
4 Bonners' next game will be will
Standpoint on Thursday evening"
Eureka has cancelled their date OIL
Tuesday. Standpoint defeated Rath
drum in their first game 32-18.

SNARE TWO
LIVE COUGARS
HALF GROWN ANIMALS TAKEN
ALIVE BY A PARTY OF
LOCAL HUNTERS

A sleigh driven along Main street
Wednesday morning was soon sur
rounded by crowd of interested spec
tators. The reason for the unusual
interest manifested was the fact that
on the sleigh there reposed two young
but very much alive cougars and the
dead mother cougar. The catchy
was being exhibited by Deputy Game
Warden w H. Heathershaw and Don
Guiles.
The two young cougars were about
a year old and about half grown. They
had been taken last Tuesday by a
party consisting of Messrs. Heather
shaw and Guiles and Heimie Stevens
and H. McDougal, the latter two o.
Eileen. Tracks of the animals had
been seen in the Perkins lake district
and the hunters started after them
taking with them hound belonging
to Guiles and an Airedale terrier be-
longing to F. c. Robertson of Spokane
In due time the trail of the big cats
was located, the chase started, and
the animals treed. Then by means
of a long pole and more or less skill
full maneuvering a rope moose was
dropped over the neck of each of the
young cougars. They were choked
into submission. their four paws Sc
curely bound, with a long pole run
ming between their legs and length
wise of the body and the neck wired
closely to the pole. In this manner
they were carried out of the noun
tains and brought to town.
The old cougar was also treed anC
an attempt made to snare her but she
finally came down from the tree ant
made a break for liberty. Due to the
fact that it was becoming late ant
quite dark. the attempt to take hel
alive was abandoned and she was shot
Mr. Heathershaw states the three
cougars had killed a deer only shor
time before the hunters took up thu
chase BY the tracks in the snow /
could be seen where the old cougar
had started the deer and run it pas
the place where the two young cougar
were in hiding. These had pounce'
upon it, knocked it over into nearb,
stream and had soon killed it.
An attempt will be made to sell tn
two young cougars, Mr.. Heathershay
states. and at prevailing prices the
should bring about $3.50 each.

RAISES $4,000 AT BENEFIT DANCE
That Sum Results From Event Given
Friday Evening.

The best time ever enjoyed in Bon
ners Ferry was the verdict Of those
attending the dance given Friday eve
ming for the benefit of Jimmie Egan
Odd Fellows hall was packed to ca
pacity by the large crowd in attend
ance and an evening of unusual en-
joyment followed. The event was ad-
vertised as a dance and more or less
dancing resulted, but it was not the
only means of raising money and fur
nishing amusement. For instance,
there was the kangaroo court, with
w o. Rosebaugh presiding as the
ldignified judge, later being succeeded
by A. ]. Kent. II is believed that no
man escaped the attention of the
court. Bunny-hugging, Raging and
all similar practices were the cause for
immediate arrest and infliction of a
fine. Some were fined for being late
some for "rubbering," one man was
hailed from the street and fined for
not attending. All in all the kanga-
roo court furnished much amusement
and money.
! The sum of $38S0 was realized from
the fines" and $4,000 from sale Of
tickets. The receipts from the fines
covered the expenses and a check fol
$4,000 was presented to Jimmie"
A. c. Gale started the good worl
that resulted in the benefit and was
ably assisted by Dave Robinson, a
J. Kent, George Causton and ]. F
iMcGlocklin.

HOW GOOD A
SPELLER ARE YOU

Take notice, scholars of the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades! Can you
spell-and spell correctly? Ii you
can, an opportunity will be given
within few weeks for you to demon
strate whether or not you are the
champion speller of northern Idaho.
Read all about this opportunity Here
it is.
Mrs. E. M. Flood, county superin-
tendent of schools, was at Spokane
Friday in conference with the county
superintendents of the five northern
counties of Idaho The conference
was for the purpose of making ar
arrangements for an inter-county spell
ing match confined to the scholars
of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades
of these five counties, namely, Bound
ary, Bonner, Benewah, Shoshone and
Kootenai.
The three best spoilers from each
county will be chosen by a process of
elimination and these will gather at
Coeur d'Alene on Monday, May 9Th,
for the final contest. Three prizes
will be awarded, one each of gold,
silver and bronze. During the pre-
lliminary try-outs and the final con-
test, there will be no oral spelling
but instead all the work will be writ
ten. The words will be chosen from
Merrills speller No. 2.
1t is probable that the final con
test for the choice of Boundary coun.
ty's three best spoilers will be held
on the same day that Independent
District No. 4 of Bonners Ferry acts
as host to the scholars of all outlyint
districts. The scholars will be in
Ivited here by Superintendent Kerr ant
faculty on some date to be determined
later, and the spelling match Will
Iprobably be one Of the features of tn
days entertainment.
i Now is the time for all good spell
ers to come to the aid of their county
Here's betting that Boundary count,
wins at least one of these prizes.

would pay $4,000 more than it would
receive. The provisions of the bill
follow:
Section l. The state board of
equalization shall, in the month of
August of tie year 1921, and every
year thereafter, in determining the
state tax for that year, include as a
part of said tax two mills ON all tax
able property within the state, which
shall be designated as the state school
tax and collected as other state taxes
are collected, and which shall be used
exclusively for the use and support of
the public schools of the state and
which may not be used for the con-
struction. repair or improvement of
buildings.
Section 9 1t shall be the duty of
the state superintendent of public in
struction to apportion the proceeds of
the state school tax at the same time
as other school funds are apportioned
to the several counties of the state, on
the basis of the actual number of days
of school attendance in the several
counties of the state for the preceding
fiscal year, and the state treasurer
shall pay W Tic tltdHuitlS vi lilC
several counties the amounts so ap-
portioned.
Section g. 1t shall be the duty of
the county superintendent of schools
of each county to apportion to the
school districts therein the apportion-
ment received for the said county, on
the basis of the actual number of days
of school attendance during the pre-
ceding school year"
The direct primary bill made its APP
pearance this week in the house of
representatives.
1t is claimed by the authors of the
measure that it is virtually the old
primary law restored, though modified
to remove the weaknesses experience
discovered in the former act which led
to it's repeal two years ago. They as
sert it has very general approval in
their parts of the state They repre-
sent, respectively, Adams, Clark and
Jerome counties.
First and chief of the reforms the
new bill is intended to make in the old
primary is the protection it will afford
to any party from invasion of its tick
ct by candidates not members of that
party. Places on the ticket will be Sc.
cured on petitions, the signers OF
which must be certified to as members
of the party, and voters at party prf-
maries must take oath that they intend
to support in the main the ticket oi
that party.
The judiciary is taken out of poll
tics. A different form of petition i.
prescribed for judgeship candidates
and the names of all of them will ap
pear on each of the party tickets, th'
voter voting for twice the number t.
be elected at the general election.
Campaign expenses are limited Il
certain sums for the candidates fol
certain offices, instead of to percent
ages of the salaries.
Another feature provides for the ap
pointment by the central committee o
