WILL IMPROVE TOURIST PARK
Boundary County Fair Association
Needs More Money Now.

l.. N. Brown, chairman of the tour
ist park committee of the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club, states that
arrangements are being made to in
stall six concrete fireplaces on the
grounds the coming week. City water
has been extended to the grounds and
the park has been wired for electric
lights. The new signs, advertising
the camping grounds will be placed
this week
Mr.. Brown is urging that all sub
scriptions for stock of the Boundary
County Fair Association be turned
over at once as the directors of the
association are anxious to find out ik
they can secure enough money with
which to erect permanent fair build
ing this fall. The proposed building
will require about $4,000 feet of lum-
Der and part of this lumber has been
donated or sold for stock by various
companies of the district The pro-
posed building will have dimensions
of "a by so feet, with wings ten feet
wide on either eide, II feet wide in the
rear and 16 feet wide in front. 1t is
planned to use the wings for display
ing exhibits while the main floor is
to be used for dancing and public
meetings
The directors of the fair association
state that they cannot proceed with
their building plans unless the farm
ers and busines men of the county are
more liberal in buying fair stock If
this money is not secured it will be
necessary to rent a tent in which to
place exhibits for the fair this fall.

Kansas, worked his way through
school, graduating from the Kansas
State Agricultural College in 1912.
He came to Idaho in July of 1912
and followed farming and school teach
ing until January, 1918, when he en-
tered the county agent work in Elmore

HIGHWAY FUND
ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY ASSOCIA.
TI0N HOPES TO RAISE LARGE
FUND FOR CONSTRUCTION
B0NNERS FERRY QUOTA is $3.50
Ask 30 Cents for Each Inhabitant Of
Towns On Route.

Charles r. Hauke, field manager OF
the Theodore Roosevelt Int. Highway
Association, with headquarters in Du-
luth, Mimi, spent Saturday and Mon
day here in the interests of a plan to
bring the Roosevelt highway to the at
tention of autoists all over the United
States.
Mr. Hauke met with the directors of
the Kootenai Valley Commercial Club
and Mr.. Shultis. state vice president
of the Roosevelt Highway Association,
Saturday night and outlined the plan
to bring the Roosevelt highway up to
such standard as will be a fitting
memorial to Roosevelt. 1t is proposed
to improve every mile of the coast to
coast highway and to raise a half
million dollars to be used in construc-
tion work on the poorest parts of the
highway where the counties are not
financially able to do the needed con-
struction work.
Mr.. Hauke has started the task Of
collecting the needed money. 1t is es-
timated that the combined population
of all the towns and cities on the
Roosevelt highway between the two
oceans is 2S00.000 and each town is
to be asked to contribute an amount
equal to 20 cents for every inhabitant.
He plans to present the matter to
every town and city along the Roose-
welt highway from here to Portland
If he is successful. he will obtain
about 100000 in Spokane, and about
$4,000 in Portland.
He stated that he had been given
every assurance that the eastern cities
on the Roosevelt highway would fur
nish their quota for this purpose. pro-
vided first that the western section,
where the greater part of this money
for Improvement will be spent, first
shows its willingness to cooperate.
If the movement is successful the
association will be in a position to
appropriate such money as may be
necessary to improve the poorest
points along the transcontinental high
way every year, and since these points
will for many years be found along
this part of the road, Montana North
Dakota and Idaho have every reason
for boosting the plan.
M. Hauke stated that he had already
visited Columbia Falls, Libby, Eureka.
Whitefish and Troy and had been sue
cessful in securing the full quota from
each town
The local business men subscribed
literally to the subscription list cir
culated Monday, the subscriptions
running from IS to $15. Mr. Shultis
reports that $50 has been collected
and that not all the Bonners Ferry
business men have been solicited and
he is confident that there will be no
trouble in securing the quota of this
district. $3.50.
Local business men are unanimous
in the opinion that the Roosevelt high
way association will do more to bene-
fit this district than any other of the
numerous highway associations routed
through this city as the Roosevelt
highway has but one route in Idaho
and Montana and is concentrating its
efforts upon road improvements, pub
licity and the securing of federal aid
for the districts through which it
passes.

proper estimates made and the right
thing done by the N. p. company. I'VE
have everything TO gain and nothing
to lose" said Mr. Montgomery. when
the n. p. was given this land they
sent men ahead TO pick out the best
sections and since the first selections
were made the company has traded off
its poorest land for better located
outside the forty mile limit He
said that W. c. Reeder, of Porthill,
owner of some 5000 acres, conceded
with his views on the cruise matter.
Theron L. Edwards, of Copeland.
said, 1--WE all know that the N. p.
is not holding this land for charity
but for speculation. There are thou
sands of acres upon which they will
not even set price and they are CON
tinually refusing to sell either their
land or timber. If this land is not
worth anything why don't they give
it away. l believe there are enough
taxpayers interested in this matter
now to go ahead and get behind the
county commissioners in this fight and
see where we are at. We must make
them pay their share of our taxes.
We farmers cannot come before the
commissioners and say we are as
sessed too high and refuse to pay and
the N. p must not be allowed to do
so either. l was through a fight of
this kind in a middle west state and
we won out and realize that we must
put assessors on the ground and get
actual valuations before we attempt to
fight it out in court"
Mr.. Green, also of Copeland, said he
was in sympathy with having a cruise
made of county lands and that the N.
P. should be made to pay its just pro-
portion of the taxes.

Baseball Game Friday Evening

Baseball fans of the city are
expecting to be mighty we'll en-
tertained tomorrow afternoon
when the business mems ball
team will cross bats with team
selected from among the county
officials. The game will be
played on the fair grounds and
will be called at $3.50 p. m. An
admission fee of 25 cents will
be charged and all the proceeds
will be turned over to the
Boundary County Fair Asso-
citation.
The members of both teams
have been out for several prac-
tices and are getting sore arms
and fingers in shape for the big
game. Both teams claim to have
the best aggregation of ball
players.
AS yet the managers of the
two teams have not been able to
agree on an umpire and it is
likely that two umpires will
have to be secured. Permission
will be secured from the proper
officials for the umpires to
carry weapons.
All the stores of the city have
agreed to close at $3.50 o'clock
tomorrow so that everyone can
attend the ball game. A six
inning game is to be played.
