A few words about the bull at J. Neils Memorial Park

| February 25, 2025 7:00 AM

After reading the articles about the “bull” in The Western News and Kootenai Valley Record, plus the bridge, I must respond.

My dad went to work full time for J. Neils Lumber Co. in 1953 and I must strongly disagree about the bull at J. Neils Memorial County Park. Out of respect for Julius Neils, I feel the bull is a perfect reflection for how he would feel by what has been done to his community and the legacy he built here.

As you said: mining has not been good for our economy and his timber based economy has been destroyed.
