AarrR1cA,s TIMBER MINE.
One in New Jersey I'm Operation
More Than One Hundred Years.

One in New Jersey in Operations
More Than One Hundred Years.
The wood mines Of upper Tonkin,
China, are not any more curious than
wood mine that has been In opera
tion in New Jersey for more than 400
years. This mine is at Dennisville, In
the swampy region of south New Jer-
sey, and yields cedar such as grows
nowhere on this continent to-day. The
fallen and submerged forest Is be-
lieved to be prehistoric. Logs have
been mined from it more than six feet
In diameter.
These ancient cedars have a delicate
fesh-coIored wood, and If it is tree
that was alive when it fell, the same
pungent flavor when cut as pervades
our common red cedar. The dead
trunks are odorless. The hgs lie in
heaps or layers, and 1t has not been
determined yet how many layers there
are below the top stratum the miners
uncover.
When these prehistoric cedars were
first discovered and for 80 years after
ward they afforded remunerative and
constant employment to many per-
sons who mined the logs, and to-day
they are a source of considerable in.
come to those who continue to raise
the logs. The cedars are cut up into
shingles and slaves and made into
pals and tubs and other wooden YES
sells. The great endurance Of the wood
is noted In shingles made from It
century ago and which are as sound
to-day as when they we're first put in
use.
Near the Delaware river. eight
miles west Of Dennisville, cedarH Of
the same variety have been found at
a depth of IL feet At Cape May, on
the Atlantic coast, 20 miles east, in
drilling an artesian well an alluvial
deposit similar to the Dennisville
swamp was found at the depth Of 80
feet and the drill entered cedar
log and bored into 1t more than six
feet before its diameter was entirely
pierced. This tree was alive when 1t
fell, no telling how many thousands
of years ago.

WITH BEEF PROBE,
MEAT PRICE RISES.

Chicago, March simultaneously
with the grand jury's Indictment
against the so-called beef trust, cattle
on the hoof at the stockyards advanced
is cents per hundred pounds and some
of the dressed meats have given a sur
prising exhibition of high jumping.
The sharpest advance was for mutton
cuts, to the price of which was added
/ to 81 cents a pound. This increase
brings mutton racks to 18s cents a
pound, legs and joints to 16 cents and
cuts for stewing to 1O3 cents.
The wholesale prices of beef, mutton
and pork have increased 20 per cent
within the last two weeks and the ad-
vance is to travel on to retail prices in
the near future.
An average of 2 cents a pound more
will be paid by patrons of the butcher
shop on all meats and in at least one
instance, sliced ham, the advance will
be cents. Mutton is now higher than
for the last 20 years, selling at 80
cents for chops.

couNclLMEN AT $50 EACH.
Regular Price for Pittsburg Grafters
in Small Deals.

in Small Deals.
Pittsburg, March 23. =. Nine more
former members Of the councils, be-
fore the district attorney today, con-
fessed their guilt in accepting money
for their votes while members of the
municipal bodies and before Judge r..
S. Fraser received the immunity bath
of suspended sentence.
When the grand jury adjourned for
the day just before 5 o'clock, it had
returned no indictments, although it
had listened for hours to developments
in the bribery scandal even more SEN
sational than those brought out yester-
day. Men admitted selling their honor
for from $50 up.
John F. Klein was before the grand
jury the greater part Of the day and
continued his narrative of councilmanic
graft. Klein recounted some of his
experiences in handing out the money
to the councilmen.
"There was one fellow" he said,
"who was daisy-a regular Shylock
for the dough. In the South Seventh
street business l handed him $81. He
looked at me for a full minute and
then yelled like a stuck pig for the
extra 10 cents. You know $81. 10 was
the standard price in that deal. Well,
he got the 10 cents all right"

MINE LAW IGNORED
Colorado Authorities Find States
Regulations Not Observed.
Coroner's Jury on Primero Disaster
Is Scored Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company on Rack.

Denver, March 24.- Characterizing
the system employed by the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company in the operation
of its mines in Southern Colorado as
"open defiance Of the law" State La
Dor Commissioner E. v. Brake, in his
report on the Primero coal mine disas-
ter in which rs miners lost their lives
January 81, calls upon Governor Sha-
froth to appoint commission to make
rigid investigation Of conditions in
Las Animas and Huerfano counties,
where the Colorado Fuel & Iron prop
critics are located.
Mr.. Brake finds the following condi-
tions existed in the Primero mine pre-
vious to the explosion:
insufficient sprinkling as provided
by law; local gas explosions frequent;
lack Of sufficient timbers, houses in
the camp Of poor construction; no
check weighmen for the benefit of the
miners.
In the opening of his report Mr..
Brake declares that the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company employs inexperien-
ced, non-English speaking miners, be-
cause they are "not familiar with
wage conditions in this country and
can be secured at lower wage than
English-speaking miners"
Mr.. Brake also scores the coroner's
jury which investigated the Primero
disaster, declaring that the jury was
composed of employees of the company
and returned verdict without careful
examination, exonerating the company
from blame"
He states that he finds children en-
ployed in mines and washers of the
company in violation of the state law.

TAFT POINTS WAY TO PEACE.
Questions of National Honor Should
Be Arbitrated. He Says.

Questions of National Honor Should
Be Arbitrated. He Says.
New York, March 23.-The president
Of the United States spoke in the cause
of world peace tonight before such a
brilliant assemblage at the Hotel AS
tor that he described it as "superla-
tive" He was the honor guest at a
banquet of the Peace and Arbitration
league and the principal speaker.
In the main, international peace was
the keynote of every address, but no
speaker advocated the immediate dis
armament of nations. 1t was agreed
armies and navies were necessary until
more Utopian universe shall have
come about. On this point President
Taft said:
Because we are in favor of univer-
sal peace, and in favor of arbitration
to secure it, we are not in favor of one
country giving up that which we now
use for the purpose of securing peace,
or the withdrawal of our armament,
our army or our navy"
Tremendous applause greeted his de-
claration, and he continued:
~ don't want to seem inconsistent
in speaking so emphatically here in fa-
vor of peace by arbitration and in using
every effort / can bring to bear on con-
gress to have two more battleships this
year. / am hopeful that we may con-
tinue with that policy until the Pana-
ma canal is constructed, so that then
our naval force shall be doubled by the
connection between the two coasts.
Then we can stop and think whether
we wish to go further.
Perhaps by that time there will
be adopted a means of reducing the
armament, and when it comes l am
sure we will not be the power to inter
fere with the general movement"

Pins are weapons at capital.

Washington, March 23.-W Washington
women can jab holdups and mashers
with long hatpins all they want, ac-
cording to Major Sylvester, superinten-
dent Of police. "We have in Washing
ton $4,000 more women than men, T"
said Major Sylvester in discussing
the agitation against long hatpins.
Such a predominance of the gentler
sex can have but one result. Numbers
of women are obliged to go about the
streets at night without escorts and
women, assailed by marauders, have
used hatpins with telling effect"

Chicago, March 24.-No more "boot-

After more than quarter of century
of experimenting the Postoffice depart
men has adopted an automatic device
for lie delivery of mail pouches from
rapidly moving trains. Within short
time notices will be served upon all of
the roads transporting mails that from
a certain date they will be required
either to stop their trains when de-
livering pouches or to install the auto
matte device designed and manufacture
ed by F. H. Burr, of Atlantic, la.
The Burr device won easily over
nearlv 100 other devices recently test

More than 1000 deliveries were made

There are three Representatives
to be elected to the legislature from
Bonner County this fall. The
HERALD does not desire to dispar-
age the merits of any gentlemen
who has, or may, announce his
candidacy for Que of these positions
We have no political grudges to be
settled in this campaign.
There is, however, one candidate
for the legislature whom we feel
in duty bound 10 bring to the fav-
orable attention of the voters of
Bonner County. This is Hon. Thos.
j. Jones. The writer hereof has
known Mr.. Jones for twenty years
and has had occasion to become
familiar with his sterling character.
He has always discharged his
duties as a citizen with ability and
has always stood for what he DEEM
ed the best interests of the COM
munity. He has been active in
politics for years, but never before
could be prevailed upon to accept
an office for himself. He has been
Republican leader in Bonner and
Kootenai County, giving much of
his time to the welfare of the party
and he deserves the vote of every
Republican in Bonner County.
Mr., Jones was a business man
for many years, but for the past
few years has resided on his ranch
near Boomers Ferry, 10 which &C.
cupation he has been successful. He
is especially well equipped for the
position and understands the needs
of Bonner County. 1t seems to us
that Mr.. Jones ought not to have
to make a fight for this nominal
ton. 1t ought to be accorded to
him by unanimous consent, and
we trust that it will

M. S. Ratcliff has traded his
ranch consisting of $50 acres, only

at $4,000. to A. H. Tensely of
Spokane. Mr.. Heinze, father-in-
law Of MIR. Tensely will move from
Spokane and live on the ranch. Mr..
and Mrs. M. 6. Ratcliff will remove
to Cunningham this week for a
time, although Mr.. Ratcliff thought
they might not like IL there and
come back to the Ferry this fall.

ranchers and the Herald joins their
friends in wishing them success in
their new field of labor.

First State Bank

The HERALD has often CONNIE Mt
ed upon the satisfactory business
conditions existing in Boomers
Ferry. All lines of business repre-
sented enjoy healthy patronage.
OVERLOOKING is often a detriment
to the business interests of town.
The booming should be devoted to
building up the manufacturing in
terests and settling up the ranch
lands. The rest will come as bust
ness demands, and the town will
not experience 30 many periods of
depression, because business is
over done. How fast the two ele-
ments above named manufacturing
and ranch improvement is develop
ing is illustrated by the growth OF
the First State Bank.
In the latter part of 1906, less
than four years ago, when j. J.
Monks, w. P, Mahoney and w. D.
Baxter decided to open a bank in
Boomers Ferry,it was with consider
able hesitanty. Other banking
men had looked the field over and
turned it down. They saw farther
into the futher, however, than the
others, and opened the bank. The
institution soon had total resour
ces" amounting to $4,000. This
was gratifying and the promoters
began to have ambition to reach
the 100000 work. although at the
time it looked as through this
would be 'going some" for Boomers
Ferry. But the bank long age
passed the 100000 work, and wher
the Herald published their official
sworn statement, to the STATE
Bank Examiner, made for Apri
27, the figures had reached thu
splendid am cunt of 1851, 1869
and is today above 100000. Tit
Herald is always glad to note
the progress of any business institu
ton in Bonners Ferry.

FROM SPOKANE IN S HOURS
First Automobile to Visit Our City
the Roads Were in Fair Condition

J. M. Schnatterly, Pres of the
Idaho Gold and Radium Mining
Co. accompanied by J. E. Angle,
Sec-Treas. and A. f. Studeman
came in from Spokane in a automo-
bile Monday. They were enroute
to Leonia, where their claims are
located. Mr.. Schnotterly stated
that they had come up from Spo-
kane to Bonners in 5 or 6 hours,
and aside from few stumps in the
road, they had no trouble. After
stopping over night in our city and
getting some gasoline the next
morning continued on to Leonia.
Mr.. Schnatterly stated the com
pany had just shipped a car Of
machinery, tools and number
of horses from Spokane and that
work on their claims would bt
started at once. A little latter
machinery for the erection of 6
small saw mill will be shipped
and put into operation. The speci-
mems of gold bearing ore that he
showed, looked more like solid golc
nuggets.
The arrival of an automobile il
the Ferry caused a considerable
excitement among the local Indians
as many had never saw a horeles'
carriage before.
