Give Them Better Support

TOE BURKE, student manager Of the
- Boomers Ferry high school athletic
association, has requested the Herald
to urge upon the public the necessity
and duty of better support of high
school athletics. He states that if the
basket ball games are not given bet
ter patronage than they have bcen re-
ceiving, the association is apt to be
faced with ar unpleasant deficit.
The Herald gladly complies with Mr.
Burkes request. There should be but
one opinion in the public mind regard
ing this matter. School athletics are
entirely good. 1t would be difficult to
give too sprong support to this feature
of schol life. Athletics play a vigorous
part in all the leading schools of the
day, and exert a wholly beneficial in
fluence upon the students.
1t develops health and strength
in those participating.
1t requires clean body and steady
nerves, thereby losaening the use of
tobacco by immature youths.
1t encourages cleaner moral living;
a clean, vigorous and well-developed
body exerts a stroag influence toward
morality.
1t arouses enthusiasm, creates in

hotels have been remodeled and re-
painted.
These were the new buildings erect
ed directly on Main street. While these
improvements were being made, old
Bonner county had been divided
Boundary county created and Boomers
Ferry designated the county seat,
which circumstance was a strong con-
tributing factor in inducing the i'm
provements here enumerated. The
new county purchased the old Idaho
hotel. converted it into a court house
and built the present brick Jail Here
we have neat, attractive buildings with
we'll kept lawn and yard where for
merly stood the old hotel surrounded
by weeds and high grass. The school
district, finding larger quarters neces-
sary, built the present high school
building, which again has been oVt.
grown, an sSS,00O.0O bond issue hay
ing been authorized for a new high
school building to be erected probably
this year. The X P. lodge became
dissatisfied with the old home and
built the present Castle Hall, now pro-
viding lodge quarters and home for
the Rex theatre. The old Golden Rule
Livery stable, occupied by the Parks
Highway Garage, was burned, where
upon the owner, James Kinney, con
structed the present handsome garage
building.
In 1916 the citizens decided the city
needed a sewer system, forthwith
created and bonded an improvement
district and constructed the sewer. In
1919 this improvement was followed ,
by the creation of another district and
the paving of Main street, one of the
greatest improvements the city has,
ever made. While the paving was be-
ing laid the city officials installed the
new modern lights along Main street,
and they hope eventually to secure the
removal of all light and telephone
poles from this thoroughfare.
Hand in hand with this material
progress has gone the improvement
Of our public school system. Only
few short years ago a high school was
in Bonners Ferry, but
progress has been steady since that
time until now we have one of the best
high schools in the state, ranking as a
Glass A school. Numerous handsome,
modern homes have been erected and
have kept the residential districts
abreast of the forward movement.
Not the least of the improvements
made has been in the general appear
ince of the town. Recent years have !
ound the buildings better painted, the /
yards better kept, and the streets much
cleaner than formerly. This marked !
ind important improvement has been
argely the result of work done by the ,
livic Improvement League, an organi- ;
.ation of earnest women who had the
good of the town at heart, which in ;
an annual cleanup day and
which has done much to improve the :
appearance of Boomers Ferry. !

A Bit OF History

~ ECENTLY a few of our citizens
N were gathered in congenial
meeting place and the question arose as
to what progress, if any, the city OF
Boomers Ferry had made during the
past few years. Being in a remlnls-
cent mood, the men assembled cast
their minds back over the past five
or six years seeking for and enumer-
ating marks of progress, with the con-
clusion that, all things considered, our
city had made and is making much
substantial progress, such progress
being devoid of any of that unstable
froth common to boom localities. Prog
ress in Boomers Ferry, while not
startling in its magnitude, neverthe-
less has been very real and substan-
tial
This progress is clearly shown when
one considers the improvement OF our
business section. A newcomer drop
ping into the town six or seven years
ago, WOulu nave luuilu uhalh pti wv 80
fering very materially from what it is
today At that time there were but
five brick buildings and one of cement
blocks on the street, these being the
First State Bank. the Kinnear block,
the Gray and Enterprise blocks and the
Moore Bros. building, all of brick,
while the First National Bank was
housed in the cement block building
now occupied by Walden Bros. The
other structures on the street were
frame buildings, many of them dilapi-
dated and poorly painted. To have
stated the least uncomplimentary re-
mark possible at that time regarding
our main business street would have
been to say that it was at the best
not very pretentious. 1t left poor
impression in the minds of visitors.

Soon however, the urge for i'm

Fellows lodge started the movement
in the erection of the handsome two
story brick building now housing the
lodge hall and Reid's Department

moved the old frame structure occu-
pied at that time by Simonds Drug
