Like a thunderbolt out of a clear

situated south and east of Bo tiers

settlement for the purpose of creat

The lino comes within
two miles of 'onners Ferry, the
Northwest corner of the reserve
Being near the top of the hill on
the bench road to Cow creek. The
proposed reserve extends to the

As an office of the 3d class, Mr.

The Steunenbcrg Case.
Harry Orchard, the alleged mur

, The Milwaukee headed for Bonners.
As nearly every town between
j the British line and old Mexico has
rec ®ived a tip that the C. M. & St.
p, R' y i s coming its wav, the Her
! ai.d can not delay longer to put in
j a bid for Bonners Ferry.
We are led to make this claim
.
; «-hnt the Milwaukee will strike
j Bonners Ferry from the fact that
j Major Faust of tho Libby News
j lias mapped out the only practical
j route for the Milwaukee, via Lib
, by, in which case Bonners Ferry
would of necessity get the road, for
j once in the canyon of the Kootenai,
the Milwaukee, like Jimmie Hill's
) line, could only got out by taking
j the sky route, at least until it gets
j down to the head of the valley,
' I miles east of town.

pretty little place, made cheerful
with pictures and all the latest
