WILL IRRICATE
THE NORTHSIDE

owners of truck gardens and fruit
tracts of North Bonners Ferry have
Just recently formed a corporation for
the purpose of purchasing and supply
ing water for domestic and irrigation
purposes and a meeting of the incoh-
porators and all those who have sub
scrlbed for stock in the corporation
VIII be held at o'clock, Friday eve
ming, Sept %, at the Farmers Union
nall, when bylaws will be adopted
ana board of directors elected.
The corporation will be known as
the North Water Company. II is can
italized at $4,000.
A thorough survey was recently
made of the land in the Northside dis
trict which could be supplied with
water for domestic use and for irri
CATION purposes. There are approxi-
mately 200 acres of land in the dis
trict, divided into tracts from one-half
acre TO 20 acres in size and owned by
nearly 80 persons Over half of the
property owners have subscribed for
stock in the new water company and
II is believed large majority of the
property owners will subscribe before
the organization meeting on Sept. %.
Those interested in the organization
OF the water company have a verbal
agreement with the water department
OF Bonners Ferry for the furnishing of
water from the Kootenai river. The
capacity of the city pumps will be
3OO,O00 gallons every IL hours. The
water will be pumped into a reservoir
to be constructed by the water com
pany. A large water main will be con
structed by the company through the
tract to be benefited, the individuals
to pay for piping on their property.
The water department of Bonners
Ferry has agreed to pump water for
the company at very low rate.
The Northside truck gardens and
fruit tracts are among the most pro-
ductive in, the county. The owners Of
these tracts believe that by irrigatin-
they will be able to produce five times
the crops heretofore raised and that
the value of their land will be increas-
ed one hundred per cent.
II is now proposed to furnish wa
ter only to those who purchase stock
in the water company and il is the
general opinion that the stock will
soon be worth a great deal more than
par value. although it is not likely
that an attempt viii be made to op-
crate the company for profit now.
Those who have not subscribed for
stock are urged TO do so at once so
that they may attend and take part
IN the organization meeting and help
10 elect the board of directors who
VIII have charge of the business of the
corporation the coming year.

NOMINEE FOX GOVERNOR.
WILL SPEAK HIRE.
POLITICAL VIEWS FROM CAPITAL
Not Believed That Voters Want Ex-
Governor in office Again.

The democratic state campaign in
Boundary county will be opened by
Nose Alexander who served two
terms as governor of Idaho and who
is a candidate for election to the Of
flee of governor in the November
election. opposing c. c. Moore. the
republican nominee, of St Anthony.
Ex-Governor Alexander will speak
at the X. p. hall on Monday evening.
September is, at 8 o'clock, when he
will discuss political issues of the day.
Mr.. Alexander is a good public speak
er and the voters of this county should
avail themselves of the opportunity to
listen to him, size him up and COM
pare him and his record with that of
c. c. Moore the republican candidate,
who will visit Bonners Ferry in a few
weeks.
According to advices from Boise.
the state democratic organization is
planning the most strenuous campaign
in the history of the state. But those
who are regarded as political dope
sters and who have had an opportun-
ity to view the situation are not so
sure that Alexander will be the draw
ing card or vote getter" that he is
credited with being The novelty has
about worn out and the demand for
vaudeville is waning.
1t is looked upon as an admission
of weakness on the part of the state
managers of the democratic party to
have nominated Alexander as it is a
well known and admitted fact that
the real democrats" of the state dis
like Alexander and his methods.

ity In 1916 this majority was reduced
to a bare 500 with several DAYS re-
counting necessary in order to put
him across. Wilson carried the state
by $4,000, Alexander by 500 in a dem
ocratic year This is admittedly a
republican year and with a three
cornered fight Alexander is hopeless
as the third party or progressives
will not give the democratic nominee
that support and in a three cornered
contest all that Alexander can look
for is the second place in the run

In spite of that fact the democratic
state committee has outlined an active
program. Candidates for congress are
in the field, Whitaker, the ex-nonpar-
tisan league candidate and Waters of
Weiser who is to be accompanied by
E. o. Thompson of Idaho Falls, nom
inee for lieutenant governor These
two will speak from the same plat
