STRUCK BY A BLASTED STUMP
Woodsman Probably Fatally Injured
Near Porihill Friday Afternoon

While working in the woods last
Friday nearby where a gang of
men were blowing stumps out of a
new road Adolph Weisner, a sawyer
in the employee of the Boomers
Ferry Lumber company at Camp
10, near Porthill, was struck in
the head by a piece of a stump and
sustained a fracture of the skull
and lost his left eye. He was
brought to the Boomers Ferry hospi-
tai for medical treatment Saturday
but the local physicians have little
hopes of his recovery.
Weisner was working with his
father in-law, A. Olden, about 200
feet away from the place where the
stumps were being blasted. AL
though a number of men were
working on the road at the time OF
the accident no one seems able to
give an explanation as to how
Weisner received his injury. Weis-
ner has declined to talk of his acct
dent and says that it hurts his head
to talk.

tended to make the entertainment
a pleasing one.
In the neighborhood of $50 was
realized from the sale of tickets.
The money that is left after the
expenses have been paid will be
used towards the paying for the
statuary which the student body
recently purchased. The enter
tainment of Tuesday night is the
first of a series of entertainments
which will be given this winter by

According to the estimate made
by A. J. Kent, president of the
Kootenai Valley Commercial club,
and who with +. R. Edgerton, Sec
rotary of the Standpoint CONNER
cial club, was in charge of the
Bonner county exhibit at the Min
neapolis Land show, at least 90
per cent of the II, 5Sl visitors at
the exposition examined the dis
play made by Bonner county, asked
questions relative to the country
and were given literature telling of
the offerings of Northern Idaho to
the homeseeker. Mr.. Kent re-
turned home Tuesday afternoon
and was enthusiastic in his convic-
ton that the display made by Bon
ner county at the Minneapolis Land
show, which came to close last
Saturday night, would prove to be
the most beneficial and the cheap
est advertising this district ever
received. We were placed in
close touch, said Mr.. Kent, with
a well-to-do class of people from
all of the eastern states, class of
people who have money to invest
and who are looking for a new
country where the conditions are
best suited to the making of per-
manent home.
Last Saturday, the last day of
the land show, was Idaho day, and
according to the Minneapolis papers
Messrs. Kent and Edgerton had
things coming their way on that
day. Through the offices of Mr..
Kent a 25-piece band was secured
for the day and evening. Little
silk remnants bearing the inscrip-
ton, North Idaho For Me-" and
fine red apples were given to every
visitor at the Bonner county booth,
and some 200 Boy Scouts were
kept busy in and about abe land
show building all day and part OF
the night Justify shouting praises
of Northern Idaho.
The booth in which the Bonner
county display was made was sold
to the Great Northern Railway
company and will be taken to Chi
cago, where it will house perma-
nent exhibit from western states.
Mr.. Kent and Mr.. Edgerton gave
away most of the apples which
were exhibited from this section and
the exhibits of grain and grasses
and vegetables were turned over to
the St. Paul chamber of commerce
and will be used as a permanent
exhibit from Bonner county.
Mr.. Kent tells that while Idaho
was the only one of the sever
northwestern states which had nc
state exhibit at the land show, the
exhibits of Bonner and Latah coun
ties drew larger crowds than any o.
the other displays. The Bonner
county apples were better than the
apples of the Wenatchee and NORTH
Yakima countries, and the displays
of fall apples from this section were
kept in fine condition while thu
displays from sections of Washing
ton, where the fruit was raised b,
irrigation, had to be thrown away
The representatives of Bonnie
ner and Latah counties were great
ly discouraged over the fact tina
Idaho was the only one of tn
, seven northwestern states whicl
had no state exhibit at the lam
{ show. Their indignation is ex
pressed by the Minneapolis Journa

CONNER OUT FOR
SPEAKERSHIP
Eennsr County Lesislator.eleet Has
Many Strong Assurances
Of Support
WOULD HARMONIzE LEGISLATURE
Ia In Favor Of Carrying Out a Pro-
gressive Program

From reports which come from
all over the state it would seem that
in A. H. Conner of Standpoint,
Bonner county has one of the
strongest candidates in the state
for the speakership of the house of
representatives of the state legisla-
ture at its next session.
Just now candidates for the
speakership are looming up in all
parts of the state. John S. Parks
of Blaine county, is also a strong
candidate. Canyon county will
support Representative French.
Bannock county is said to be boost
ing H. V. A. Ferguson. A. H.
Oversmith of Latah county, and c.
+. Kloesch and Charles d. Storey
are also after the honor and of
course have friends who are boost
ing for them.
Mr.. Conner is receiving strong
recognition from the newspapers
of the state. He has also received
warm assurances of support from
various northern counties and has
a strong following in the south.
He was one of the floor leaders of
the Ninth session of the legislature.
In a statement recently given out
Mr.. Conner says:
OF course, would like to be
speaker. The movement, like all
other candidates., was started by
some of my friends and has been
favorably received both in this and
other counties. While would APP
preciate the office for the honor
which it confers, my sole desire is
to work where l can do the most
good for the republican party and
the people of the state. In the
north / have been classed as a con-
sentative and in the south, owing
to my advocacy of certain meas
.ures in the state and county plat
forms, / have been classed as a
progressive. believe that the flu
ture of the republican party in
Idaho will depend to large ex-
tent upon the next Legislature. !
would deplore any division among
the members of that body along
with the so-called progressive and
conservative lines, and think that
all of the members should soften
their ideas sufficiently to permit
concerted action in both bodies OF
the legislature in the consideration
and passage of those progressive
measures which have been advo-
Gated in our state and county plat
forms. If the members think !
can aid in accomplishing this by
being speaker, it will be my pleas
ure to do everything possible to
that end. If they think l can dc
more in some other capacity I will
be perfectly satisfied to relinquisl
any ambition that arises from {
personal desire to be the presiding
officer of the house"
