G. y. TAKES OFF LOCAL TRAINS
Railroads Preparing for Long Fight
In the Coal Industry.

While it is reported that many rail
roads of the country are cutting their
train service ON account of coal short
age, the first local effect was felt last
Friday when the Great Northern an
nulled trains 263 and 264, known as
the Bonners Ferry Spokane locals.
Railroad company officials deny that
the strike of the railway shopmen
contributed in any way toward the
removal of these trains, claiming that
the rolling stock is still in good con-
dition
Cries of coal shortage are coming
from all parts of the country and the
railroads are apparently conserving
their fuel supplies as much as pos
sible to meet the heavy movement of
crops due in few weeks from the
western states.
The early potato and cherry crops
are now being harvested and the car
shortage is already reported TO be
hampering their distribution. If the
coal strike continues, a serious delay
in the movement of crops is anti
pated.

BIG VALUES AT PLACER NINE
Preliminary @Clean-Up- Being Made
Now at idaho Gold & Ruby.

G.. A. Ralston, superintendent of the
Idaho Gold e Ruby Mining Co. of
Leonia, accompanied by Mrs. Ralston,
was in the city Saturday attending to
company business.
Mr.. Ralston states that the prelimi-
nary Cleanup of gold values in the
blue hole" is under way and that the
assays being made from time to time
are proving far above the assurances
which have been given out by the
company officials heretofore.
Mr. Marsh, Of Quenell, b. c., an
expert in the handling of back sands,
is at the property OF the Idaho Gold
& Ruby Mining Company, and has
taken samples from the table run of
the lightest, finest concentrates of
the lower grades which have assayed
$50 per ton and better in gold and
silver and platinum, the larger per
cent of values being in platinum
Mr., Ralston states that the concen-
traitor plant is now running through
the placer washings in the blue hole"
although no attempt will be made to
run full capacity until a few more ad-
justments are made. From the upper
tables where the higher grades are
caught the values run about $500 to
the ton. The larger, coarser gold is
caught in the specially designed riff
files located above the concentrator
tables.
This fall it is planned to continue
the work of concreting the bed of
Boulder creek for some distance in
order to prevent the lodging of gold
particles washed from the gravel
banks. by the three big giant hydrau-
lies which are in use.
About so men are now employed at
the property Many of these have
their families with them.

EXTENSION CLUB AGENT HERE
Forming OF Poultry Clubs Among
Boys and Girls Is Aim.

H. A. Stone, district agent for the
boys and girls clubs of the extension
service of the University of Idaho at
Moscow, was in Bonners Ferry yester-
day on his second visit since taking
over the territory, which embraces
the ten northern counties of the state.
On his first visit here in April Mr..
Stone organized a potato club at
Meadow Creek Yesterday he con-
suited with County Agent A. E. Alex
ander on the possibility of organizing
poultry clubs among the boys and
girls of Boundary county. Sewing
clubs may also be organized.
According to Mr. Stone, the boys
and girls clubs of his district have
a total enrolment of 275. He is now
striving for an enrolment of 1900 by
the end of 1923.
Several cities of the state have
taken active interest in these clubs,
says Mr. Stone, and Lewiston has
offered $500 to be offered as prizes
for the best exhibits at county fairs
this fall. The Union Pacific railroad
is offering a scholarship at the state
university as the grand prize in one
of the southern districts, and new in
ducements are being offered each
month to interest the boys and girls
of the state in the work fostered by
this department

Views Ncw Road Project

S. S. Crenshaw highway engineer
of the federal bureau of public roads,
with headquarters at Portland, ar
rived here Tuesday to make a final
inspection Of the proposed right-of-
way for the new road from Bonners
Ferry to the Montana state line.

toned $4,000 for this road and the
county will match this amount with
$4,000.
Work on the construction of the
Moyie section will start first and Mr.
Crenshaw stated that it would be only
matter Of a few weeks before actual
construction work would be under
way The most difficult construction
work on the proposed new road will
be at the Moyie river canyon where
a great deal of rock work will be
necessary. 1t is estimated that six to
eight miles Of road will be built with

Contractor Degerstrom has been in
personal charge of the work from its

fields of grain where a year ago was
nothing but red top, rush grass and
marsh water. il is easy to see that
his interest lies more in the success

new DISTRICTS
TO BE FORMED

Encouraged by the success of the
work in District No. property own
ers in several valley districts are talk
ing seriously of organizing for the
purpose of drainage. Just up the
river from Bonners Ferry, on the
northside, lies tract of approximate
ly 1000 acres. Owners of this land
are said to favor drainage almost
unanimously and it is believed a
drainage district will be formed there
this summer
Another large tract of bottom land
near Copeland is about to be formed
into a drainage district, according to
Contractor Degerstrom, who has been
called into consultation with the
property owners. 1t is reported that
this tract comprises about 5000 acres.
A meeting of the land owners in
District No. was held at the court
house last Saturday with a view to
forming a new district there, eliminat-
ing the lands which have brought
about the present litigation. Another
meeting will be held at 1:30 next
Saturday at which attorneys will be
present to advise the owners on the
method of procedure. The feeling in
this district has long favored drain
age, but many obstacles have stood in
the way. If the entanglements of the
old district can be Strengthened out
and a new district formed, it is prob
able that work will begin in the near
future.
A. Klockmann, who owns about
$500 acres of overflowed land, is talk
ing seriously of building a dyke
This islanother project which may be
started soon.

School Building.

In his report of the fine swimming
facilities enjoyed by the Boy Scouts
at their camp on Lake Pend d0reille
DR.. z. r. Fry, speaking at the Com
mercial club luncheon Monday eve
ming, struck a subject that seemed
to interest every member and turned
out to be the most prominent topic
of discussion at the meeting. This
was the question of building a swim
ming pool in Bonners Ferry.
MANY drownings have occurred in
nearby swimming holes,' said Dr.
Fry, that could have been prevented
if we had a well-conducted swim
ming tank in the city" Others spoke
in favor of tank, and no opposition
was encountered
]. Harley Cave and II. II. Hughes
were appointed as a committee to
make estimates of cost and report at
the next meeting of the club Differ
ent sizes for the tank were suggested,
and many suitable sites proposed,
with the outcome favoring a tank
about 25x60 feet adjoining the new
school building.
The committee to confer with Sand
point on arrangements for the two
county celebration of the north and
south highway reported that they will
meet with a committee from the Sand
point Commercial Club next Monday
and hope to perfect a program at that
time.
Regarding progress on the new
power plant on the Moyie, Mr. Hughes
reported that about SIS per cent of
the work was completed and that all
work would probably be done by Oc-
tober l. All tunneling is finished and
the floor for the headgates is in
place. Work on the dam will start
Immediately, Mr.. Hughes said For
some time past visitors have been dis
couraged from viewing the work on
account of danger from blasting, but
visitors are now welcome, as the
heavy blasting is completed
The purchase of two lots near the
fairgrounds for hitching horses was
discussed, but no action was taken
The question was sidetracked when
someone suggested that place for
parking automobiles might be more
appreciated by the farmers
The attendance at the luncheon was
good and short snappy business
session was enjoyed.

RADIO SET IN BONNERs FERRY
Receiving Apparatus Being Installed
in Hawks Drug Store.

Harry Ruddach, pharmacist at the
Hawks Drug Sotre, who recently came
here from Newport, Wash, where he
had a complete radio receiving set in
stalled in his home, has brought the
outfit to Bonners Ferry and is busy
this week placing it in the drug store.
Aerials have been set up on the roof of
the Gray Block, in which the drug
store is located.
The set has a radius of about 400
miles and Mr. Ruddach is confident
OF picking up concerts from the broad
casting stations at Spokane, Seattle
and Great Falls, providing the atmos-
pheric conditions here are as favor
able for radio transmission as they
are at Newport.
So far as known this is the first
radio set to be installed in Bonners

CIRCUS ATTRACTS BIG CROWDS
Educated Horses, Daring Wild Animal
Acts and Funny Clowns Entertain.

Most people will admit that Bar
mum was right when he said the
American people love to be humbug-
ged," but they will also agree that
Barnum had great show.
Last Friday was circus day in Bon
ners Ferry, with Howe's Great London
Circus and Van Amburg's Trained
Wild Animals putting on an afternoon
and evening performance. following
the usual street parade.
Dancing horses, clown stunts and
trained lion acts were among the best
features of the program. AS a whole
the show was good. and many parents
who took the children as an excuse
enjoyed the performance as much as
the youngsters.
Like the Fourth of July. circus day
only comes once year, and we can
well afford to be humbugged.
