About score of the young ladies of
Boomers Ferry met with the Misses
Boileau at their home Wednesday af-
ternoon and organized a sewing soci-
ETY., the organization not however yet
having been given a name. The after
noon was spent in the jolly way of
which young ladies alone seem to know
the secret, and at the close the hos
tesses served dainty refreshments.
Next week the club will met with Miss
Esther Brace at her home on h e
Northside.

FOREST RANGER BADLY WOUNDED
Byran Murray Struck by Bullet When
Revolver Falls From Holster

Bryan Murray, of Standpoint, and in
the forestry service with his station
in the Porthill district, was accident
ally shot Sunday morning about 10
o'clock with bullet from 3S caliber
Colts revolver. The bullet passed
through the fleshy part of the left
shoulder and did not break any bones.
The accident happened about two
miles above the Smith creek ranger
station when Murray stopped down
by the creek to get drink. The re
volver fell out of it's holster and was
discharged, probably by reason of the
hammer striking on rock.
1t was some time after the accident
before Murray could secure assistance
and he was weak and faint from loss
of blood when tourniquet,vasapp
A phone call was sent DR.. Faucet and
he left for Porthill by auto but the ma
chine broke down and it was finally
about three o'clock next morning be-
fore Murray had medical attention.
Murray is young man of wonder
full physique, temperate in his habits,
and the hardships he underwent did
net bother him much as he was up
and around practically all day Mon

the horses, frightening them, and
every second the chances for a ter

HONEY BEES DO VERY WELL
M. F. Buyers Has Pleasing Success
with Busy Little Workers

M. F. Buyers, leading rancher of
the Copeland section, was transacting
business in town the first of the week.
Mr.. Buyers tells an interesting story
in regard to the success he has had
here with bees. Last year he had
three swarms and obtained from them
80 pounds of honey in excess of what
the bees needed to carry them through
the winter. This year he has secured
four new swarms from one hive, ac-
complishing this by a judicious di-
vision of the brood bees when they
have reached certain stage in their
growth.
One never sees a honey bee in Bon
ners Ferry, which has been a cause of
wonder to many as this is undoubtedly
an ideal bee country. The extreme
abundance of wild white clover, the
red clover and alfalfa fields and the
wild flowers growing in profusion ev-
erywhere must make this a paradise
for the busy little workers. Besides
yielding a very tidy revenue from the
honey produced, bees are also great
aid in the fruit industry by polleniz-
ing the blossoms.

That Miss Carrie O'Brien, II
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. H. O'Brien, was not instantly
killed or terribly crippled when she
was thrown off the county bridge
across the Kootenai river Monday
afternoon about 3 O'Clock and fell
a distance of some 90 feet into the
waters of the Kootenai below, is
nothing short of miracle.
The accident happened when
Frank Garris, proprietor of the
Golden Rule Livery, lost control of
his Ford car at the top of the in
cline approaching the bridge. The
car had not been working properly
and Garris had to secure R. Nc
Pherson' team to haul the ma
chine to the top of the hill from
the city park. Mcpherson was
driving the team afoot. Garris
was guiding the car Before the

had fallen a few inches to either
side she would have struck either
the earth banks of the river or the
big boom log tied close by. AS it
was Miss O'Brien was able to
Chamber to the bank and hold on
until help reached her. At the
Boomers Ferry hospital an exami-
nation showed that no bones were
broken. The young lady COM
planned of her spine aching and of
bruises but up TO the present time
no internal complications have set
in, and Doctors Fry AMI Faucet
have every hope of her complete
recovery.
Mr.. Mcpherson had one leg
severely bruised when it was caught
between the wheel of the auto and
the bridge railing. Mr.. Garris es-
capped with a badly sprained knee
and several bad cats and bruises
about his head.

Barn Destroyed by Fire

Wednesday afternoon the barn on
the Sam Biggar ranch about mile
south of town, was destroyed by fire,
with its entire contents, which consist
ed of two full sets of double harness,
one set of single harness, five or six
tons of hay, some grain, and a few
chickens. Luckily no stock was in
the barn. Mr.. Biggar was down town
at the time, but was notified by phone
and hurried home. With neighbors
and some who had run out from town
in autos, he had a hard time to save
his house from burning, and says that
if it had not been for the city water
which he recently installed, the house
would have been burned also. He fig
ures his loss at about $1,000 with only
very little insurance. He will re-
build at once.
The cause of the accident is I'M
known, but it is thought it might have
been started by the children.

The trustees stated that they had
discussed the matter of a levy with
number of the larger taxpayers and
all agreed that at least seven mills
would be needed and there was no gen
eral objection to that levy. Next year
the levy will undoubtedly have to be
somewhat larger due to the fact that
after January LIST next there will be

Our Daily Meals.

NJ. J. Bergonie discusses in the Complies
rendus the best arrangement of the hu-
man dietary on the basis of the Observa-
ton that the period of maximum avail
ability of the energy in the meals occurs
about three hours after eating. He sUg-
'gests that a diet furnishing / part fat, 1
part protein, and ( to parts of CarbO-
hydrates should be taken in three meals;
viz, heavy meal supplying from 400 to
$500 Galleries about 7:30 a m: a light
meal supplying 800 to 400 calories at 1870
p. m: and a dinner supplying 700 to 500
calories at s p. m. One wonders whether
the average man, and especially the aver
age Frenchman, accustomed to a very
light petit dejeuner, could adjust his ap-
petite to so heavy a meal in the early

If the Senate should adopt the resolution re
ported by the Committee on Elections, the invest,

State where United States Senators were elected
last year There is another indication that the
investigation may be general than con-
tcmplated by the original promoters of the inquiry
The resolution provides for inquiry to ascer-
tain the expenditure of money made by "candi-
dates and other persons, committees organiza-
tons and associations" in the primaries
In this day we have promiscuous political &C
tvity, not only by parties but associations, fede-
ratons societies. groups and individuals who may
be called partisan or nonpartisan have designs on
the present tariff law, the present administration,
or the Democratic party, who may be self-ap-
pointed, sefsacrifcing political purists who desire
to reform humanity The investigation will in
clude them all. In Pennsylvania, it would include
the stand-patters, the Progressives, the Washing
tonians, the prohibitionists the labor party, the
Socialists, the composite organizations of indie
pendent purists, who in the name of reform with
and without specifications, active in the pri-
mary and the election. They had pretty COM
pick political activity in both Pennsylvania and
Illinois, and judging from the reports then in cir
collation., the overwhelming victory of Senator
Penrose did not account for all the agitation and
all the money contributed to affect the primaries.
1t then appeared that all the truly good people,
and all the substantial men in the old Keystone
State, were opposed to Senator Penrose and that
they were contributing literally to the numerous
reform movements which were making the State
ring with their denuncation of the stand-patter.
There were also reports that the cry of the re-
formers to come into Macedonia was heard
near and far and that good people in other States

buttons across State lines to affect elections The

did not advertise it as did the radical opponents
of the saloon, and if the group is to be called
upon for audit of its political accounts, under
the resolution, the other group will have to be
treated in the same way. The committee will, no
doubt, call for the books and papers of all "com-
mittees, organizations, corporations and associa-
tions," and it may be able to clear the political
atmosphere and show whether Representative Bar

1t would be interesting development if, as
seems probable, some of the members of the COM
mttee which the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States will designate to cooperate with the
Federal Trade Commission, soon to be appointed,
should be men whose services President Wilson
has sought members of the commission, but
who compelled to decline public Office be-
cause OF their private business interests. Not only
would the members of the new commission be
fortunate in having the advice and support of such
men, at no expense to the National Treasury, but
the necessarily close relation between government
and the country's great business interests-which
seemed to be questioned in the early days of the
adminstraton-woulda again be established.

Shortly after the death of the late Ed
ward H. Hartman spent an hour with
Chauncey NJ. Depew listening with in
tense interest to some of his reminiscent
remarks associated with various great
railroad leaders of the United States.
Senator Depew had been for forty
years in intimate association with almost
all of them. He had in that way been
able to form judgment which he thought
was accurate respecting their intellectual
/ equipment as well as their peculiarities
OF temperament. He mentioned L. H.
Hartman casually. but with a note of
admiration for Mr.. Harriman's intel
lectual power in what he said.
1 told Senator Depew that one of the
greatest American bankers had said to
me that Mr.. Hartman possessed the
mind of very great astronomer. but
added that the banker did not tell me
exactly what he meant by this descrip-
tive appellation. Senator Depew said
that he. too, had heard men who were
competent to judge say that they thought
Mr. Hartman was gifted with the finest
Aiililu VI any ulal VI SGUtIdllOH
Il presume what was meant by that"
said the Senator, was that Hartman
had an almost marvellous gift OF grasp
ing on the instant all the vast and COM
plicated relations that must be thor
'oughly understood II great constructive
work is to be done.
That also is a quality which Pierpont
Morgan possesses. His mind works with
the swiftness of thought. His intuitive
fmdpTnanfc f,r1
accurate. No man can explain the pro-
cesses of mind which make intuition OF
this kind possible.
81 presume that your friend who spoke
OF Mr.. Hartman as possessing the mind
OF an astronomer meant that Hartman
had no fear of size. The mere magni-
tude of figures oS OF relations that were
far reaching, or even obscure, did not
disturb him any more than magnitude
disturbs the great astronomer. Magni-
tude Is. Of course, a relative term. The
greatest human intellects outside Of
those which create in the field Of pure
imagination. like Shakespeare or Homer,
are those to which magnitude appears
purely in a relative sense.
That is the mind of Mr.. Morgan. or
at least one of his characteristics. That
was the reason why Mr.. Morgan almost
upon the instant comprehended the
meaning and possibility of the enormous
aggregation OF capital upon which the
United States Steel Corporation was
founded. Mr.. Hartman could take in the
whole scope of the Union Pacific with
out appearing to have exercised his mind
at all. That was one of the reasons why
he accomplished much that he did
achieve. I do not think that it is an
overestimate to say. as your friend did,
that Hartman was gifted with one of
the finest minds of his generation. It is
the kind OF mind which has led to the
leadership in all that has made the
United States so prosperous"
