Bonners Ferry is still being figured

to undertake tho enterprise if they
can get some financial assistance
from Bonners Ferry. The situation
as stated by their representative.
J. F. Reynoud, is this: They have
invested $0000 in Bonners Ferry
in an electric light plant. They
have left some $6000 to $7000 that
they are willing to put into Bon
ners Ferry, in a water system.
They require $3000 or $4000 more.
This sum they want Bonners Fer

THE ALAMO COLONY
And the New Religious Movement

By Rev. A R. Adam*. A. M
Since founding the "Alamo Col-j

religious movement a few months
ago, we have received a number of
inquiries concerning our work and
the doctrines of thc "New Church",

The HERAT.n would urge that
any fair proposition that will in

should receive the most liberal
consideration at thc hands of the
business men of the town. To bo
frank about it, the situation in
Bonners Ferry is a most serious
one, when the danger of fire is
considered. Bonners Ferry has
been very lucky. There have been

towns,

Unfair
to Borah.
The following newspaper clip
pings hit tho nail squarely on the
head, as regards the political sit*
nation. A great many of Mr. Bo
rah's wannest friends are more
than disgusted at the manner in
which sortie newspaper friends
accompany their support of his
candidacy with vile, unjust, and
uncalled for abuse of other public

Borah ' 8 can(lulac >'' The comments
we r eler to are as follows:

S ' 8enate - Mr - Rorah had bcttcr

* n tbe hands of the splenetic
Orcgoniim. Heyburn and French
like all men in public office, are
open to criticism, but there is no
danger of prison doors opening to
receive them like some men whom
the Portland paper supported in
the past. Borah may be all the
Oregonian claims for him, but he
will find fulsome praise from old
Harvey Scott high at any price."
The foregoing taken from thc
Idaho Mountalnccrexprosses blunt
ly what a great many Idaho papers
have hinted softly. We think it is
all very unjust to Mr. Borah, but
somehow he seems to bo very un
fortunate in tho character of his
newspaper "boomers". Those that
boom Mr. Borah too often accom
pany their eulogiums of him with
abuse of others. That makes it
look as though Mr. Borah were
responsible for the spleen as well
as thc praise. In the present case,
Mr. Borah did not seek Harvey
Scott's "fulsome praise," neither
did he do anything to provoke
Scott's contcmtible attack on Ida
ho's congressional delegation.
Moreover, that same Scott was not
inspired by admiration of Borah
when he wrote his laudatory ar
ticles. It was hatred of Heyburn
that moved him. It is ungenerous
and altogether unfair in any sense
to hold Mr. Borah responsible
for what fool and malicious news
papers say about him.—Caldwell

Kootenai Valley Sweet Potatoes.
Each season develops some
product that can bo produced in

Kootenai Valley that was supposed
to be raised only in a southern
clime. Now comes M. M. Fry with
a demonstration lhat sweet potatoes
can be successfully grown here.
Mr. Fry brought to the Hkbald

vine with six well-developed sweet
; potatoes attached, produced on his
1 place on the Northside, just across
I the river from Bonners Ferry,
i These sweet potatoes were grown

an experiment. Mr. Fry declares
that he will raise sweet potatoes
next year as a regular product,
! and believes that, with a little care
j u e a i so brought in a box of
1 strawberries that were quite a nov
elty, in as much as they were pro
duccd from this year's runners.
I they can be grown quite success
! fully.
Think of strawberry plants, tho
growth of this season, producing
bet ries, and at this season of the
year!
Mr. Fry is experimenting with a
wild strawberry that he thinks
may develop into a wonder. It is
variety that grows on high alti.
tudes in the mountains. It is now
ripening fruit and producirtg
new blossoms. A variety that
would produce berries at this sea
son of the year would bo very val
uable and the stock may develop
into something important.

Ira Crawford's News Stand.
Ira Crawford has added a News
department to his business at his
stand near the Hotel Casey. J. F.
Cook, Jr., has turned over his news
agency to Mr. Crawford, so that he
now has the agency for the Spo
kesman-Review and all the maga
zines formerly carried by Mr. Cook.
In addition thereto Mr. Crawford
will add other Dailys, both eastern
and western.
Electric Light Plant Arrives.
Three car loads of material ar
rived this week for the electric light
plant. Manager J. F. Reynoud
has been busy getting thc material
unloaded. The machinery includes
a G0-horsc power engine and a
120-horse power boiler, so that by
thc adding of another engine the
power can he increased at any
time.
Mr. Reynoud informs the Her
ald that he expects to have the
plant in operation in two weeks.
It will be a real delight to have
the town lighted up with electricity
—a condition that we all have
looked forward to with great antic
ipation.
