Logging
To Start
ON HARRISON FLATS
GrindIe'S Ditch Provides Cheap
Transportation

The homesteaders on Harrison
Flats, north of the city are pre-
pairing to do some extensive log
ging this summer and the COM
ing winter.
This summer they will coniine
their work to getting out sculls
and ties. There is a good mar
ket now for sculls to be used in
the Coeur d'Alene mines and
three or four camps are being
put in for the purpose of logging
them.
They will be drag hauled to
Hell's Gulch and from there will
be floated down Grindle's ditch TO
the st. Joe river and from there
to Harrison where they will be
consigned to Connolly q Krotech.
Considerable improvement is
being made on the ditch to facil-
itate the floating of the logs. For
one thing it is being extended
further up into the gulch and a
dam is being built to hold the wa
ter from the springs in the gulch
for driving purposes.
There is a large quantity of
good yellow pine owned by the
settlers on the fiat and they are
preparing to log these this COM
ing winter. 1t is said that there
is from ten to fifteen million feet
of this yellow pine that will come
down through Hells Gulch and
will be floated through Grindle's
ditch to the st. Joe.
When Mr.. Grindle first talked
of building this ditch TO get out
his own logs, his neighbors
laughed at him. They said il
was not practicable and that he
could not float his logs through
it. However, he made such a
success with it in getting out his
own logs that those above him
are now all wanting to use it in
getting their timber TO market.

Alene banker was in this city
Monday. He is heavily interest
ed in the Stack-Gibbs Lumber
Company and was on his way To

Two contractors are at work

the first two miles on which there
is about nine hundred feet of

They have their grading prac-
tically completed and are nov

grading on the balance of the
road and has about two miles
of it graded and ready for The
steel.
Mr.. Thornton also has the
contract for logging the Stack
Gibbs Lumber Company's tim
Der that is tributary TO This
road and has about two million
cut and on skids.

cases on the docket all having TO
do with the sale of liquor to In
dians and in none of the cases
has the government secured a
conviction.
I'm the case against Dan Ross.

issue a special venire in order ia
secure a second jury.

Our Way Is The
Modern Way
new LINOTYPE MACHINE IS INSTALLED
The Record Now Has Thoroughly Modern And
Up-TO-Date Equipment

The type for this issue of The
Record was cast and set on a new
Magazine Model X Linotype.
manufactured by the Mergenthal-
er Linotype Company. This ma
chine has just been purchased
by us and added to our equip
menl.
The machine is rather formid-
able i'm appearance as will be
seen from the accompanying pic
ture of it which appears ON this
page. In fact the machine is all
of that, for it has the reputation
of being the nearest Human" of
any piece of machinery manufac-
tured today.
We have discarded the Simplex
lypesetling machine. as we feel
it no longer meets the require
ments of this Office. The Sim
pick was a great Improvement
over the old hand-set style, bul
we feel that we have outgrown
it and that this city was worthy
of at least one Office run in the
modern way with modern-in
fact the most modern of machin-
cry and appliances and there is
no question but what i'm this ma
chine we have the Modern Way.
"lhe Linotype Way" is as
much faster than the Simplex as
was the Simplex Way faster than
the old hand-set way, and it has
the further advantage of giving
the paper a new dress with every
issue.
The Simplex set the type.
while the Linotype casts the type
as we'll as sets it. The new ma
chine which we have put in has
two magazines, each magazine
having two faces. The maya
zines can be shifted by simply
moving a lever, and thus the ope-
rator has four different faces of
type at his command without even
getting up from the machine.
This is the first and only Limo
type i'm this section and we would
be pleased to have our patrons
drop into the Office and see it.
Many visitors have already
called and the most pregnant
comment we have heard is a
wonder if ST. Maries can sup
port machine like this?". Our
reply is that we have faith i'm ST.
Maries. II is a live hustling city
and is entitled TO the best that is
going and we are going to do our
share i'm trying to see that she
gets it, trusting that the people
will appreciate our efforts.
With this new machine we have
an outfit capable of turning oul
any kind of work that can be done
anywhere, and we hope that our
patrons will keep this fact in
mind when wanting anything il
the printing line.
With our increased facilitie.
we hope To make The Record q
better newspaper even than il has

Milwaukee Mill
Starts Night Shift

The Milwaukee Lumber Com
pany is now working a double
crew of men i'm the sawmill.
They put on the night SHIFT Mon
day evening and expect to keep
the mill running two shifts for
the balance of the season.
This will practically double
the output of the mill and will
furnish work for in the neigh
borhood of 200 additional men
besides the extra men who will
be required in the woods getting
out the logs.
Two hundred extra men being
put to work will mean a great
deal to The city as it will mean
that much larger payroll and an
increase in all lines of business.

Second Class
HAWLEY IS NOTIFIED
May Mean Increase In Service For
This City

The expected advance of the
postoilice i'm this city To be Sc
cond class is now an assured fact
Postmaster Ilawley received
word Saturday from the post
Office department that the 81.
Maries postohlce had been rails
ed to second class Office tc
take effect July first.
That this change was to be-
made created no surprise here
as it has ben known for some
time that the business of the
Office entitled it to position
I'm the second class and the Re
cord announced sometime ago
that the change would probably
go into effect July ist.
One result of the change will
be To raise the salary of Post
master Hawley which under the
new order will be S2l00 per year.
IL also entities the office To am
assistant postmaster. This
position will be filed by Clarence
Sweeney who has already execut-
ed his bond and sent il ON to
the department at Washington
for approval.
Just what change it will make
i'm the postonice force will NOT be-
known for a few days but il j.
believed that it Will give the Office
one and possibly two more
clerks and may give il a night
clerk i'm addition.
ID is thought possible that ID
will also give us additional free
delivery making a second car
rier necessary. This will moi
be decided on for some little
Time and it is probable that the
department will insist upon the
houses being numbered before
any additional carrier servic,
is allowed.
IL is customary for the de-
partment To require the num-
bering of all houses before in
auguraiing a free delivery sys.

lowed with the Coeur d'Alen,
pOstOflice. But the free de-.
livery system was inaugurated a,
an experiment here before TN
city was of sufficient size {,

and it was not required at tina
time as the delivery was onl,
partial and not for the entire cit.
AZ any rate it would be a wis
move on the part of the cll.
council to at once make provi.
sions for requiring the house
to be numbered and then tn
city would be a position for
complete free delivery system
should the department grant il
1t certainly would place Post
master Hawley in better position
TO ask for it.
Postmaster Hawley expect
that by next week he will be abb

WHOM, POLICE THINKS
Looking For Man They Believe He
Met in Woman's Room Night
of His Death
By Associated Press

Stamford, Conn, June 30.-Defnite
announcement was made to-day that
the police are working on the theory
that Waldo r. Ballou, the aged po-
litical leader whose tragic death early
last week is under investigation, was
murdered.
There was also an intimation- that
the bail bond of Mrs. Helen M. Angle,
at whose apartments Ballou was q Wis
itor on the night of his death, might
be recalled. She is now at liberty
under $4,000 bonds awaiting the out
come of the coroner's inquiry.
1t was learned to-day that while the
police do not believe Mrs. Angle had
any direct connection with the killing.
they do believe she knows who was
responsible and may be regarded as a
very material witness. The theory on
which the police, it is understood are
working is that a second man was in
the Angle apartments after Ballou left
last Tuesday night, that the latter re-
turned Unexpectedly and found him
there and that "A quarrel ensued, dur
ing which Ballou received the blow
which caused his death

uniformity of the embankment line to

This is being paid for Jointly by the
