OSteOpathiC COnVen-
ton a Big Success

Dr. j. l.. Mullenbrook returned
Saturday from Portland where he
had attended the National Con-
vention of the American Osteo-
pathic Association. The conven-
tion lasted six days and there was
la large attendance in spite of the
fact that SO many had to travel
several thousand miles to reach
Portland. There were lectures
every day by teachers and officials
of the different schools of osteo-
pathy upon the treatment Of
acute and chronic diseases with
clinics present upon which dem
lOnstrations were given. Dr.
Ruddy of the Los Angeles College
OF Osteopathy and Surgery held
clinics each day on diseases Of
the eye, ear, nose and throat and
showed how catarrhal deafness
was treated and cured by osteo-
pathic treatment. Sudgical
cases we're taken to the Good
Samaritan Hospital where abdom-
! inal operations were performed,
lcongenital dislocations of hips
set and put into casts, club feet
Strengthened, bone transplanting
done, and many other major op-
erations performed by Osteopath-
ic Physicians who have gradual
ed in surgery.
The Oregon Osteopathic Asso-
citation gave the attendants an
! excursion up the Columbia River
as far as Bonneville over the o.
w. R. & N. Co. line stopping at
all points of interest including
Bride Veil Falls and MultnOma
falls, and the fish hatcheries.
When they reached Bonneville the
Portland Commercial Club had a
surprise for them in the shape of
a picnic at Bonneville Park, where
all had a most enjoyable time and
pleniy of good things to eat. Upon
their return Borden's Matted Milk
Co. served the entire party with
free ice cream.

Farmers Have
Martial Trouble

An action for divorce has been
started in the district court for
Shoshone county which is Of con-

residing on the upper st. Joe
river. Il is entitled Myrtle A..
Montgomery VS.. James A. Mont
gomery and the parties are ranch
ers residing at Calder, between
ST. Joe and Herrick.
According tc the allegations of
the complaint the parties were
married at Occur d'Alene in July
1913, and from it appears that
Mrs. Montgomery had consider
able property when they married
while he had nothing. She al
leges that he is lazy and shift
less and compels her To do the
work on the ranch, to pitch hay,
unload poles and clear land. She
also alleges that he was very

presence of others and on two oc-
casions struck her with his fist.

Commissioners Are
Repairing Bridge

The county commissioners are
having the long bridge across the
st. Maries river, east of the city
replanked. The work was start
ed ON it yesterday. The brige
was repaired last year, new tim
bers were put in wherever need-
ed and the bridge replanked for
its ntire length. This work was
done just before the streets were
graded and the haulmg of the
crushed rock for ~ streets
across it, coupled YAl-the large
amount of regular travel there
is on the bridge, wore out the
planks in one year, leaving the
bridge in nearly as bad condition
as it was before it was repaired
year ago.
The planking was getting so
badly worn that the bridge was
considered dangerous and the
commissioners were obliged to
take the matter up in order TO
save the county from becoming
liable for damages in case Of an
accident. The repairs are be-
ing made under the supervision
of county road supervisor L. r
PurVis.

Sees Wave
Of Prosperity
TIMES ARE GOOD in THE EAST
Factories Running-NO Idle Men Says Attorney
LaVeine on Return From Eastern Trip

Attorney e. N. LaVeine return
ed the first of the week from an
extended trip in the east. He
was away for about seven weeks
and during ne time visited Min
neapolis, st. Paul, Chicago, In
dianapolis, Memphis, Ithica and
Rochester, N. V, Kansas City,
Omaha and Oakland, Nebraska.
lie took the opportunity afford
ed him by his visit in these var
ious cities to study the economic
conditions throughout the east.
In an interview he stated that
times are prosperous througout
the east, the factories and manu-
featuring plants are all running
and there were no idle men to
be seen. He was particularly
impressed with the manner IN
which all of the eastern cities
encourage manufacturers to To-
cate there and the concession that
they were giving them. Every
city seemed to realie that manu-
facturies and factorys were what
built them up and that their pay
rolls we're the life of the city.
He stated that in the manufac-
lure of automobiles, which is one
Iof the big things in the east, the
falling off of western sales due
to close times had made a great
deal of difference but that this
had been more than made up by
the manufacture and sale of mu-
nitions Of war, many of the auto
mobile factories having been re-
modelled for this business. This
is giving the east a boom which
although it has not yet reached
the west is moving this way. He
said this was especially notice
able i'm the mining districts and
in the wheat sections which are
feeling the effects of and scuring
share in the prosperity.
He stated that as the west had
practically no manufactures out
side of the lumber industry il
would be longer before it felt the
returning prosperity, as owing to
the heavy rains througout the
middle west the farmers are not
doing the building and the lumber
business is not picking up as fast
as other industries. Another
thing that impressed him on his
trip is the fact that in a grea
many of the cities that he visiteC
they are using oil instead of paw
ing on the streets, which are frs
lmacadamied and then sprinkleC
with oft. This had the advan-
tage of being impervious to waite
less noisy than the paving an'
is as firm.

Settles Suit For
fire Insurance

Attorney f. c.. Highsmith has
succeeded in settling two suits
for fire insurance which he has
had pending in the probate court
in which Dominica ROcchi of this
city was plaintiff. The suits
reached back to about a year ago
when Rocchi's residence burned.
There were two policies on the
house, totaling $4,000. Rocchi
was out of the city at the time of
the fire and the residence was un-
occupied. The origin of the fire
was a mystery and the companies
refused to pay the insurance. Mr..
Highsmith was retained to recover
it and he commenced an action
against the two companies to re-
cover on the policies and the mat
ter has now been settled by the
companies paying the loss, which
was little less than the faces of
the policies.

railroad company To put up a
large creosoting plant here for
creosOting railroad ties and tele-
graph poles which had been be-
fore the railroad company for
some time. He said that the
company could not afford to build
the plant now but that it GER
tainly would come in the near
future.
The railroad engineers whom
Mr.. Braderick stated were ex-
pected at any time to lay out the
sidelrack, arrived yesterday and
went to work at once on the track

that the box factory is no myth,
as some have suggested, but that
it will be built this fall, as stated
by Mr.. Braderick.

Promise Big Time
at County Fair

Geo. ODWyer, preseluent OF the
Benewah county fair association,
and E. w. Trueman, business
manager, are very busy these days
making the final arrangements
for the fair which will be held
next month. The arrangements
TOR the exhibits are nearly COM
pleted and the entries in all ag-
ricultural Inns promise TO be much
larger than heretofore. An at
tractive list of premiums has been
offered and this, coupled with the
interest which the farmers are
taking in the fair promises to
make it a big success.
A number of outside manufac-
turers are recognizing the ad-
vertising advantages of the fair
and have signifed their intention
to exhibit and some are even Of
fering premiums. The com
mittee which is looking after the
exhibits from the local merchants
has not reported and it is moi
known how many will have booths
but as this will afford an excel
lent means of advertising with
out doubt many will take advan-
tage of it.
An extra fine line of amuse-
ments have been arranged fol
the fair. In addition to the usual
races and aquatic sports car
nival company has secured con-
cessions and there will be two
balloon ascensions daily with ;
double parachute drop at each
ascension. What promises to be
the biggest thrill of all is an air
ship flight each afternoon. The
fair management has arrahleC
with Professor Flyo TO make ;
flight each afternoon in his air
ship. He will go up 1000 fee
al each flight. The manager.
are doing their best to make Tn,
fair a success and il is up to tho
business men and citizens gener-
ally to get solidly behind the

Trouble Over Plum
meT Water System

The city of Plummer is having
serious trouble with its wafer
system according to the papers in
q suit that was filed in the dis
trict court here Thursday by At
torney Geo. j. McFadden, acting
for the city. 1t appears from
the papers that one Charles A.
Cooper is digging bitches and
threatening to divert the water
from the spring from which the
city of Plummer receives its water
for domestic purposes and fire
protection.
The city has started a suit for
an injunction to restrain Cooper
from continuing his bitches to
intercept the water or from in
terfering i'm any manner with the
spring or the water from it or
the city's use of the water.
In its complaint the city al
leges that in the spring of 1912
it secured a permit from the
United states government to pur-
chase twenty acres from the al
lotment of Mary Catherine Antel-
ope, a minor Indian, on which the
spring is located, and purchased
and paid for the land and secur-
led a patent from the United
