MERCHANTS TO COOPERATE CONCERT A LARGE SUCCESS
Musical Program by Local Talent
Pleases Large Audience

Beyond doubt the Carnovale'
concert given last Friday evening
by local musicians under the aus
pieces of the Methodist choir was
the most successful musical event
presented i'll Boomers Ferry for
some time. The numbers were all
good and called forth their full
measure of applause. Especially
pleasing, however, were the various
numbers by the quartets and Choir
us, the Carnovale selection by Ros-
SIM being we'll received by the
large audience. The sketch by
Mrs. Elliott and Mr.. English was
full of humor and was as we'll pre-
scented AS is often done by pro-
fessionals, while the piano num-
bers by Miss Loughney added
much to the evenings entertain
ment. The selections by Mrs.
Roberts were up to her usual high
standard of excellence, A. r..
Heritage, of Spokane, gave selec.
tons that were especially enjoyed,
Mr.. Heritage having been induced
to come when it became known
that Mr.. Martin could not attend.
About 200 were present and the
event was pronounced so much of
a success that similar affairs should
be more common in the life of our
town.

New Association Would Curtail Tenden-
cy to Psironize Mail Order Houses

The Industrial Communities Co.
is the title of a new association re-
Gently organized in the Inland En-
pire, with headquarters in Spokane,
which has as its prime object the
carrying on OF campaign to in
crease the patronage of home mer-
chants and the buying Of home
products. The chief instigators of
the movement are George S. Can
field, a we'll known publicity expert
of the Northwest, R. w. King and
c. X. Berry.
Mr.. King spent the forepart of
the week in Boomers Ferry inter
esting the local merchants in the
plan proposed by his company for
the showing up of the methods used
by the big mail order houses of
eastern states in their efforts to Sc.
cure rural patronage and the detri-
mental results to the merchant and
community from the continuance
of such patronage. He was called
to Spokane yesterday evening to
present his arguments to a meeting
of the Northwest Hardware Mer-
chants ocsoo;ot;oo
The Industrial Communities Co.
has no idea of trying TO put the
mail order houses out of business
but it does propose to lessen, to a
great extent. the increasing tenden-
cy to patronize the large pay-in- ad-
vance, buying insight and unseen
institutions which never pay a dol
lar of taxes for the upkeep Of the
rural communities and have no
further interest in such communi-
ties other than get all they can in
return for the least in quantity and
quality.
The new association proposes to
promote methods of cooperation
among town merchants and has
several schemes whereby the home
merchant will be enabled to save in
buying, and obtain a market for
goods which may have no particu-
lar sale in his own community.
Community development, man
aged by experts, will also be taken
up by the new organization. The
plans advanced will better enable
the home merchant TO give his Gus
toners better goods at lower prices
than the mail order houses.
The association is putting out
book which shows the
fallacy of doing business with the
mail order concerns. The book is
published in two parts and local
serchsnts arc given cemplimen-
cry meptiou ia each part, !

of his troops.
At first he met with little or no re.

The rear guard of the Zapatistas
left the city as General Obregon en-
tered, holding up street cars at the
point of rifles in order to commander
the same for transport as far as the
suburbs.
All commercial houses and banks
were closed, but aside from the shoot

OFF HAvRE
Britain Loses Two
Merchant Ships.
SUBMARINE ACTIVITY
Two Other Vessels Meet Same
Fate in Irish Sea.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The French minis
try Of marine announced that two
British ships had been torpedoed in
the English channel, off Havre, by a
German submarine. They are the
steamers Tokomaru and Icaria.
The Tokomaru was bound from
New Zealand to England. Her crew
was rescued by the trawler Semper.
Her cargo consisted in part of cloth
ing and a contribution of G1,500 ($7,-
5000, New Zealand's gift to Belgian
refugees.
The following statement was given
out by the ministry of marine:
"The Tokomaru was sunk by q tor
pedo from a German submarine. The
English vessel 1caria also was torpe-
doed in the same locality.
In the Irish sea the English steam
ers Linda Blanche and Ben Cruachen
were torpedoed also.
Hitherto the Germans, before at
lacking merchant vessel, always al
lowed the crew sufficient time to en-
bark in the ships boats. That custom
has now been abandoned, as was
shown by the bombardment of the
Admiral Ganteaume, which was filled
with Belgian women and children
refugees. The German marine has de-
cided to violate systematically and
deliberately international law
The French steamer Admiral Can
teaums, to which reference is made in
the statement of the ministry Of ma
rine, was sunk Oct. rs while on her
way from Calais to Havre with a
throng Of Belgian refugees, of whom
forty lost their lives. The British ad-
miralty later announced that the ship
was sunk by German submarine.

ABOUT THE STATE.
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
EDUCATOR KILLS INTRUDER
Professor Allen Of the State Univer.
sity Shoots Man Alleged to Be
Prowiing About Home.

Earl Nyrall, thirty years old, was
shot three times in an alleged at
tempt to enter the home of w. F.
Allen of Minneapolis and died from
his wounds a few hours later without
making statement
He had gunshot wound in his
right shoulder, bullet wound in his
neck, caused by a shot from squirrel
rifle, and another wound an inch be-
low the heart caused by bullet from
an automatic revolver.
Mr.. Allen, who is an instructor at
the University of Minnesota in the
department of anatomy, heard a noise
in the kitchen vestibule. Going out
on the balcony above the vestibule he
ordered the man to remain there, he
says.
The shotgun then was fired into the
air, the instructor says, after the man
had uttered several oaths in answer
to Aliens command and that of Mrs.
Allen. The man got outside of the
vest1bule and went around the cor.
ner of the house and was approach
ing the street when Allen fired again,
this time with an automatic revolver
obtained from his wife. Nyrall fell,
but regained his feet and started
away again only to be hit by another
bullet.
Professor Allen was held by the po-
lice pending an investigation of the
shooting of Nyrall. The grand jury,
which is in session, promptly investi-
gated the matter and Professor Allen
was exonerated and released.

FIRE LOSSES IN MINNESOTA

Grave Menace.

State Marshal Says lncendiarism IL
Grave Menace.
Fire losses of nearly $1,0OO,OOO
were caused by incendiaries in the
state of Minnesota last year, Charles
E. Keller, state fire marshal, de-
clared in his annual report Fires
that could be traced directly to in
cendiaries did $4,000 damage, but
in the list of CONGREGATIONS from "un-
known cause" which totaled $1,701,-
900, more than one-half, he declares,
were undoubtedly set deliberately.
The proportion of incendiarism is a
great menace, he declared, and Of
forts of authorities should be direct
ed to stamping it out.
The total loss, recorded from 2,SO1
fires, amounted in 1914 to $4,375, 900
as compared with loss from 2,511
fires of $3,929,000 in 1913, an increase
of $454,000. The bulk of the increase
has occurred outside of the three
principal cities, he points out, for al
though Minneapolis shows an in
crease of $4,000, st. Paul and Du-
luth reveal decrease.

London, Feb. 1.-England is just

The end of the first six months

war on its hands, entirely unpre-
pared.

London, Feb. 1.-For the fourth
time since the commencement of the
war the Carpathian mountains, be-
tween Dukla and Wyszckow passes,
are the scene of a pitched battle. The
previous battles were between Rus
slams and Austro-Hungarians, but in

Despite this the Russian reports
assert that the preliminary fighting
has turned to the advantage of Rus

been captured.
simultaneously, the Austro4Germhns
are concentrating armies in the
mountains between Bukowina and

frontiers, to check any effort of the
armies of these countries to take a

KNOCKS OUT LABOR LAWS
Federal Supreme Court Decision A.
fects Minnesota Statute.

Federal Supreme Court Decision A.
fects Minnesota Statute.
Under a decision handed down by
the supreme court of the United
States at Washington a labor law OF
Minnesota is held to be unconstitu-
tional. The labor statutes of eleven
states, among them Wisconsin and
Minnesota, are held to be without ef-
feet.
The opinion holds that statutes in
many states which make it a INSIDE
aeanor for an employer to require an
employee to sign an agreement not to
join labor union during the term of
HE employment are unconstitutional
because repugnant to the Constitu-
ticn, as depriving person of his lib
erty without due process of law.
The case was appealed from the
Kansas supreme court, which held the
statute to be valid.

MAY GO INTO LAND BUSINESS

Legislator Would Have Minnesota Sell
Direct to Settlers.
The state of Minnesota may go into
the real estate business.
A proposal to this effect is made
by Representative c. L. Sawyer,
chairman of the house committee on
public accounts and expenditures.
He says that settlers buy land in
Minnesota as result of the immigra-
ton departments advertising. He
says the department turns over to real
estate men lists of lands for sale and
prospective purchasers and that the
real estate men then reap the benefits
as middlemen.
He thinks that if the state itself
had charge Of the lists the settlers
would not have to pay the profit of
the real estate men.
