HORTLY after the opening Of the
- early summer campaign in
Galicia the Austrian military
authorities realized that a
shortage OF copper was threatened.
This situation was met with the as
sistance OF boys and girls too young
for military service or employment
in munition factories but not lacking
vote their best endeavors TO the con-
summation OF any patriotic task set
for them. First there was issued an
appeal TO this effect:
Our country needs copper 10 make
bullets to protect our homes. In your
kitchens you have what Is needed.
VIII you give? The school children
will call for whatever you may cars to
deliver to them. Austria expects
your cooperation"
The schools throughout the country
were closed and the young patriots
assumed their share of their country's
burden. Great trucks manned by Con-
valescent soldiers made a systematic
canvass OF the cities, attended by a
dozen children for eac team. Az
they went through the streets the
children rang the door bell OF each
house they passed and requested cop
per.

they would say.

the reply often,

sented and after careful considera-
ton of all the committee selected

Mr.. Clifton, president Of the Cliff
ton-Applegate Co., was in town on
Wednesday making arrangements for
the beginning of the work on the
sewer contract and it is probable
that dirt will begin to fly in an
other week or ten days. The con-
tract must be completed by May l.,
1916, and local labor must be en-
ployed as far as is practicable. Cliff
ton-Applegate & Co. put up bonds in

Mildred Jarvis Leads
In Big Piano Contest
First Count Finds Contestants Running Close
Race--Two Tie for Third Place Extra
Prize of SIS Is Now Offered

The first count in the Merchants
Popular Voting Contset was held on
Wednesday evening by Judges Otto
Mathiesen, Bartlett Sinclair and c.
w. Mcguire. Miss Mildred Jarvis
won the $40 gold piece and Miss
Eva Reding was close second. Mrs.
S. T. Faucet and Miss Florence
Hoagland tied for third place.
This count was only a first pre-
liminary and was made to show
who's who" and how the count is
running. There are more than a
dozen contestants who made a good
showing and all Of them are receiving
fine support. During the past week
the voting has been brisk and where
a short time ago only a few were
asking their friends to save votes
for them, now there are scores who,
on their own account, will work for
their favorites. Friends of the lead
ers will try to help these contestants
maintain their place. Friends of the
contestants who have fewer votes
will try to boost them up to and
above the leaders. The lowest con-
testant by a few hours work daily
can easily catch up with the highest
ones.
Since this contest has been accept
ed so enthusiastically we are going
to make it worth while for every con-
testant to work hard until the next
count which will be made on De-
cember 18th. On this date another
special prize of SIS in gold will be
awarded; $40 to the contestant who
makes the greatest gain of votes be-
tween the first and second counts,
and SIS to the contestant making the
second greatest gain. This is fair
for all and gives the latest starter
an equal chance with the leaders.
The following is the list of votes
counted Wednesday night. No doubt
the standing of the various con-
testants will be changed materially
by the time of the next count. Read
the list carefully and then pick your
favorite contestant and try hard to
help her by saving your Merchants

DEFENDS PLANS
OF IRRIGATION
A. B. Ashby Figures Owners Have
Nothing to Lose if Drainage
Is q Failure
MEANS MUCH TO THIS VALLEY
One Years Crops Would Pay For the
Assessments

Boomers Ferry, Ida. IL, "a, '15.
Editor Herald:
In last Fridays issue l notice
that Subscriber" is wonderfully
worried through fear of the failure
of Drainage District No. which he
claims would kill the town of Bon
ners Ferry.
l for one, would like to see the
government take hold of the drain
age proposition in our Kootenai Val
ley. At the same time l realize that
we can expect but little help from
the government and that such help
as we may get will be long time
in materializing. Then, too, under
government supervision, our drainage
plans stand as much a chance to fail
as they would under private direction.
In fact, / am informed that gov
eminent drainage projects have been
failures more often than those car
ried out through private capital.
l can not see where the owners Of
ONtIuOWeu ldiluS VI Vic SieiHcho VI
Bonners Ferry have anything to lose
if the drainage plans of Drainage
District No. 5 should be a failure.
On the other hand, they have every
thing to gain. / have a small tract
of overlooked land near Bonners Fer
ry. / have owned it for several
years and never took a cent of profit
off the land until last fall. / have
had it fenced and have been paying
taxes on it. / would give two-thirds
of it to have it drained and if the
drainage was not accomplished [
would not figure that l had lost any
thing. 1t is worth nothing as it
stands. If it could be drained it
would bring me on an average of
$50 per year in crops. | think this
is true of every acre of overfowed
land in the Kootenai valley. If our
assessments were $50 an acre or
about three times what the land is
worth, there is not an acre but what
would surely produce $50 worth Of
crops. The improvement, in other
words, would pay for itself the first
year.
/, too, would like to see the en-
tire valley drained at once but l can
see no reason for not proceeding
with the preliminary work in Dis
trict No. 5, which we are told by
able and competent engineers would
have to be done anyway in event the
entire valley was taken into sin
gle district and the reclamation work
proper done at the Kootenai Mar
rows.
Yours very truly,
A. B. Ashby.

MARRIED TUESDAY IN SPOKANE
Miss Ella McKenna and L. G.. Hogan
Are United In Marriage

Miss Ella McKenna and L. c.
Hogan were married in Spokane at
Our Lady of Lourde's cathedral, on
Tuesday morning, the wedding being
attended only by the intimate friends
and relatives of the contracting cou-
pie. Rev. FIR. Kelly, of Standpoint,
Idaho, performed the ceremony. Mr..
and Mrs. Hogan will spend week
in Spokane at the home of Mr.. Hog
ans mother and they plan to come
to Boomers Ferry to make their
home in the Jackson residence on
the river front, about the first of
December.
The bride is well known here, hav-
ing taught in the public schools for
two terms, 1912 and 1918. The
groom has been an employee of the
Bonners Ferry Lumber company fol-
several years. Both have hosts OF
friends in this city who join with us
in wishing them years of happiness
and prosperity.

tons covering agricultural problems
for the farmer and dealing with home
problems for the women. Such top
les as the clearing of logged off land,
dairying and hog raising, seed and
fruit culture and poultry husbandry
would be featured.
Surveys of Boomers Ferry soil
types have been made by the spe-
cialists at Moscow and these men
could now come to us prepared to
outline tillage and soil management
practices which, in other places, have
brought the best results from soils
like those found in Boundary coun-
ty.
Inasmuch as there is considerable
local interest in the growing of mar
ket seeds a farmers short course
with the university staff as instruc-
tors would enable those seriously in
terested in the establishment of this
business to learn what has been ac-
complished in this line by farmers
in other parts of Idaho and in other
states. The state pays the uni
versity for collecting such informa-
ton for the use of its people and
Bonners Ferry has only to make her
needs known and meet small require
ments in order to take advantage of
this provision which has been made
for the development of her business
interests.
For the women there would be spe-
cial lectures on the various home
problems. This would include dem
onstrations of the proper methods
of cooking and serving meals as vel
as instructions in regard to the
proper selection of foods and tn,
feeding of foods and the feeding anC
care of the sick.
Extension work of this type hal
been Of untold value in the olde'
states; and, according to the univers
ity, is beginning to bring result
in Idaho. If all the local peopl
; interested in this proposed schoo
will make their wishes and need
known their influence will go far to
wards insuring the success of tn
: work here. In other places sue

was in town Monday and Tuesday on
legal business.
The visitor has been on the school
board Of Kalispell for number of
years and served during the time
Kalispell built its $4,000 school
building. He visited with the men,
bers of the school board of Independ-
ent School District No. a and was
shown over the new Bonners Ferry
school building which is nearly COM

structure could be built for less
than $4,000. He said that the
workmanship was very fine and that
the arrangement was excellent.
