BRITISH SHE'LL OF WAR OF 1872.


 An interesting relic of the war ot 1872 was recently hauled from the depth of Curtis bay in fish seine by B. R. Stull, 1743 Covington street. The relic is a shell which is supposed to have been dropped overheard from one of the British warships which assailed Baltimore.
 He took the shell to Fort McHenrg, where the ordnance officer pronounced 1t shell of English make. and also in- formed Mir Stull that 1t was loaded. Mir Stull was determined to find out what was inside. and. placing 1t under water, he carefully bored through the bell metal cap. When the cap was re- moved about a gill of black powder, which is in good condition, came out. There was something else Inside, so Mir Stull continued to dig, and at last dis lodged 176 leaden bullets. each about five-eighths of an inch in diameter, which had been firmly embedded in birthstone.
 The shell is 5ss inches in diameter and, with It's contents. weighs 221k pounds.
 It was also learned by Mir Stull that the wooden cap was a portion of the shell, the method of shooting the shell being to place the cap on the shell. with a fuse leading through the cap and the bell metal to the interior of the she'll The powder charge for the gun was then either tied or wrapped around the outside of the wooden cap and then the whole placed in the gun When the latter was discharged the powder ignited the fuse. which in turn carried q spark to the powder In the shell The spark reaching the briHi- stone caused a gas to form. and this exploded the shell. the leaden bullets causing the destruction. .-Baltimore American.

 In his statement of terms Nolan said that he would not sign articles unless Nelson's bit was to be larger than $6.000. as he could not afford to cancel the Danes theatrical engage ments for that sum.

The fullback is especially useful in line bucking when his team has the ball and in bracing the center trio when on the defensive. Often he is the man chosen to do the kicking for the team.
 In bucking one of the very important points to be kept in mind is that of keeping the eyes open. A back who closes his eyes as he makes his plunge

The county commissioners have
passed an order authorizing Pros
ecuting Attorney Whitla to COM
mence proceedings against all en-
ployers who have not paid the
road poll tax of their employees
after notice served on them by the
roadoverseers. 1t is expected that
some of the cases will be carried to
the supreme court, and the con-
stitutionality of the law making
the employers liable for the road
poll tax of their employees, after
they are served with II notice by
the roadoverseer, tested. Most OF
the poll tax has been collected
without trouble, but some of the
grading camps along the railroads
have refused to pay, and it Is eX
pected that the first case will b'
against some Of them.

company, represented the company.
The awards were slightly an in
crease over the awards made by a
previous board that considered
damage problems in this locality a
few weeks ago. The price allowed
for the land was nearly 80 pei

Men are Scarce.

Breckenridge & Lund, who have
the contract Of grading the first
ten miles of the Corbin road at this
end, are not getting along with
their work as fast as they would
wish. Laborers are difficult to
procure and hard to hold when
they do get them The harvest in
Manitoba and the Northwest is
giving employment to a lot of men
and the work is more remunerative
than railroading.
A postofiicc has been established
at the junction of the c. P. R. with
the Corbin line. The office is called

LABOR SHORTAGE
DELAYS BUILDING
1000 More Men wanted for Railroad work alone
in the Vicinity of Boomers Ferry.

The demand for labor was never
so great in the entire Northwest as
at the present time. In TACT there
never was a time before in which
the supply did not equal the
demand, and usually there has
been a good sized surplus The
surplus has been mainly due to
the fact of the tremendous immi-
grafton to the Northwest. But
even this does not supply present
demands. The agricultural local
tiles are employing a vast army of
laborers ut present. Men have
Hocked to the wheat fields, attr act
ed there by the good wages that
farmers are compelled to pay in
order to get their grain harvested.
This has made a shortage of labor
in many occupations. Several log
ging camps in Kootenai county
have been compelled to close down
because they could not get men.
Here at Boomers Ferry the con-
tractors constructing the Spokane
& International could use 20OC
moce men If they could be had

winter to finish work that il was
expected would be completed this
fall.
One new camp has been recently
established that of McKeever &
Daniels who have the contract for
grading the yards through Bon
ners Ferry. They have the work
between the Kootenai Valley Rail
way crossing and the bridge. Part
OF the work is a very fill.
The bridge contract was to have
been let last Saturday. 1t will be
over 900 feet long, besides the
trestle OF some 500 feet in length
by which the approach is made
from the west. The construction
of the bridge will reqnirc quite a
force of men, and the work must
necessarily start right away.
Twohy Bros, Winters, Parsons
& Boomer, Grant Smith & Co.
Gray & Chapman and other con.
tractors report their work going
along nicely, except as noted
scarcely of men. 1t is expected
that men will be back from the
harvest fields in the latter part o.
October when the camps will fiji
up.

The Kootenai Country.

The region lying around and tri-
butary to Boomers Ferry is so ex-
tensive as to seem almost too great
to people from the East, where a
few miles will encompass a whole
county. But we can safely claim
twenty five miles on the West,
North and East, and fifteen miles
on the South as being the natural
trade district of Boomers Ferry.
To enumerate all the natural re-
sources of this territory would be
impossible at present, as there Will
doubtless be many things, of value
to civilization, yet discovered with
in this district, which at present
are not revealed.
But among those which stand out
most prominently are to be named
Timber, Minerals and Soil which
can not be surpassed dor the prod
uction of grasses, fruit and roo
crops The timber is of many var
ieties, including White Pine, Vel
low Zine, Fir, Tsmarack, Spruce
Heln,oCk and Cedar, all of wi icl
are of great commercial value io
lumber, ties and poles, and there
are several other varieties of les
quantity and less value.
The amount of this timber cal
scarcely be estimated, for it cover
practically every foot of the valley
and bench lands, and extends wei
up on the sides of the higher noun
tains. This is true of the countr,
Immediately surrounding Bonner
Ferry, and also of the country fu
several miles on each side of tn
Kootenai River for $50 miles abov
il, and this timber will all he man
ufactured at Bonners Ferry, becaus
it can all be run down the koC
tenai and its tributaries, and hi
is the cheapest way yet found {
handling and transporting logs.
The facilities for manufactuIin
this timber at Boomers Ferry I
present consist Of the mill of III
Boomers Ferry Lumber Company,
thoroughly equipped and well MAI
aged modern plant of about so, OC
feet capacity for every II houl
run, and includes a Dry Kiln an
Planning mill which makes a
kinds of dressed lumber an
mouldings. This company emplo,
large number of men all the yea
