The Great Northern Railway is

things the company proposes to
move the depot from its present
site to a point several hundred feet
least, so that it will be located just [
west of the head of Main street,
This will bring the depot right up j
to the business district.
The change will require the g-ad

way in orger to enable them to

carry out their plans, they desire
to purchase a small strip of land
from the citv, and another small
tract owned by the Bonner Merc
utile company and S. D. Taylor.
The consideration the city requires
is the grading of the two streets
named.
The object of the Great Northern
in making these changes is a mat
ter of conjecture. The change would
be to their advantage, of course,
although they arc nicely located as
it is. The announced purpose is
to provide for more yard room, but
the building of the Corbin line
probably acts as a spur, also. But
whatever the object, the improve
ment will be a most we lcome one
to the town in general, and we are
glad to note that the railroads are
giving this attention to Bonners
Ferry.
Customs Officers to Move.
An order has been issued by the
Treasury Department, moving the
customs offices from Bonners Fer

the Corbin road crosses the Inter

national Lire,
the department to have the officials
at the hoarder.

place within the next two or three

business point of view the moving
of Oie offices to a suburb will mat
