TO BONNERS FERRY
BY JANUARY!
I
Such are the Orders to the Contrctors on the
Spokane & International.
"To Bonners Ferry by January
1," is the order that has gone out
along the line from E. J. Roberts,
superintendent of construction on
the Spokane & International Rail
way.
It looks like a pretty big under
taking, but E. J. Roberts is a man
who accomplished big things, and
if he has set his head on accom
plishing the work outlined above,
it is pretty certain that it will be
ae he says. And if he has given
the contractors orders to hustle, it
is a pretty sure thing that they
will hustle.
Mr. Roberts was in Bonners
Feiry on Tuesday, on business con
nected with the road. He stated
while here that track-laying would
commence at the C. P. R. junction
on Nov. 1. The first 10 miles of
the road—that is, from Yahk sta
tion on C. P. R. to the international
boundary line—will be ready for
rails by November 1. Track lay
ing will continue on so that Bon
ners Ferry will be reached by Jan
uary 1, if Mr. Roberts has it fig
ured out right. Reports from the
contractors, relative to the advance
ment of their work, indicates that
the grading can be completed in
Will Improve the Hotel Casey.
J. W. McKnight, the new pro
prietor of the Hotel Casey, returned
from Kalispell Thursday, where he
had been to look after his exten
sive business interests at that idace.
Mr. McKnight is well pleased
with Bonners Ferry and his in
vestments here, and intends to en
large his business.
To a Herald reporter Mr. Mc
Knight stated chat he intended to
make extensive improvements in
the hotel. He will make it a mod
ern house and one of the best in
Northern Idaho, and first-class in
every respect. The dining room
service will tie especially improved.
He is negotiating with parties to
conduct that department, and
promises the public such service as
a town the size of Bonners Ferry
is entitled to. The hotel will be
managed by M. Comstock, an ex
perienced and popular hotel man.
Mr. McKnight's other business in
terests here and at Kalispell, will
prevent his giving the hotel his en
tire attention.
The Herald is pleased to chron
icle the fact that a man of Mr.
McKnight's progressiveness and
financial standing has located in
Bonners Ferry and wishes his en
terprises great success.

and at the close of the school for
the school year in any district,
large annual certificate with gilt
seal, will be issued to thpse pupils
who have been neither absent nor

If
the contractors arc able to com

doubt about accomplishing the

be done is said to be in the first
eight miles east and north of this
place. The tunnel work has not

James Casey locates at Sandpoint.
James Casey, who recently sold
his property in Bonners Ferry, has
décidai 1 to locate in Sandpoint.
Of this successsul hotel man, the
Pend d'Orielle Review says; "Jas.
Casey, one of the best known hotel
men in the northwest and for seve
ral years proprietor of the Hotel
Casey at Bonners Ferry, which ho
recently sold, tills week purchased
of the real estate firm of Ridgway,
Partner & Co. the O. C. Travis
property at the corner of Cedar and
Fourth streets, and announces his
intention of erecting a 30-room
hotel, probably of b;ick, to cost in
the neighborhood of $10,000. The
lots carrying the property are two
in number, with 142 feet facing on
Cedar street and 100 feet on Fourth
street. The Travis property was
purchased by Ridgway, Partner &
Co. a short time ago from Mr. |
Travis at $1500, and the sale was
made to Mr Casey at $2000.
"Mr. Casey left Wednesday after
noon for Spokane and will bring
his family back with him. They
will at once take up their residence
in the Travis place, move the house
to tlio back end of the lot and the
construction of the new hotel will
be commenced as soon as the
plans can be drawn and the ma
terial placed on the ground."

What Is in a Same?
, . ,
The people of Pandpomt think
there is a good dial in a name, as
will be seen from the following
from the News: "The change oî the
&
name o! Sandpoint to one of a
'»ore pleasing nature IS often agi
tated and the good reason for a
change, universally admitted, the
only objections urged being that
a change would, fora time, destroy
the identity of the plaee. A promi

Grandpoint as meeting every rca
son for a change and without the
objections usually urged.

State Tax Levy.
The state tax levy as fixed by the
state board of equalization is caus
ing considerable friction,
five Northern counties, except Koo
tenai, are resisting the levy on the
ground that it is above the constitu
tional limit.
All the
Attorney General
Guheen replies that the levy is not
above the'limit, as the total is
made up partly of certain special
taxes, authorized by the last legis
lature and other legislatures. There
the matter stands, except that Gov
ernor Gooding with his .usual
has ordered the A
promptness
ney General to proceed in court to
test the case, as some of the coun
ttor
ties have intimated they wanted
the matter tested.
It is a peculiar feature that coun
ties like Latah and Nez Perce,
which are large beneficiaries of
these special taxes, and Shoshone
county whose members cf the leg
laturo voted for these special tuxes,
are the counties that make the roar.
The Governor is doing right to
take the case into court,
special taxes are legal, let them he
paid. If not, cut Ou»u out, and let
future legislators have a little more
care in what they vole.
We a' 1 know that taxes arc too
high, but there is a right way to
reduce them.
