NEW YORK. Sept l7.-Boston lost first place in the American League last week while Brooklyn retained it's lead in the National. Neither Detroit nor Brooklyn, has a safe lead.

 Last spring the game department exchanged two dozen Arizona quail for five dozen bobwhite, with the Ok lahoma. game department. Some of these birds were liberated near Yuma, some near Payson, some near Tucson, some in the Gila River Indian reser- vation. and the rest at the state game farm. one mile south of the Center stret bridge.
 Later on there were some two dozen or so young ring neck pheas- ants liberated at, or near. the breed- ing pens. These birds. bobwhites and pheasants, are ranging along the river on the south side, and some of the Phoenix sportsmen or more I'roperly. game hogs, have been potting the pheasants-and possibly the bobwhites as well. And this is what is making the game department see red, and the game hogs and pothunters had better look out. So says the game department.

DETROIT, Sept. l7.-Detroit de- feated Philadelphia today by hitting Bush at opportune times and running the bases with good judgment. The game went ten innings, Cobb scoring the winning tally. He drew a base on balls and went all the way from first to third on Veach's sacrifice. Craw- ford was purposely walked to bring up Heilman a right handed batter The latter drove a fly to deep center on which Brown did not even attempt a throw.
 Bush was very unsteady throughout the game. Coveleskie pulled out of several tight spots in which his poor support placed him. Score:

PRESIDENT
John R. Wiley Resigns as Head of the
Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club
SPECIAL MEETING NEXT TUESDAY

Coming Year

Members of the Kootenai Valley
Commercial Club will make a special
effort to secure a large attendance
of business men and citizens at a
meeting which is to be held in the
K. of P. hall next Tuesday night
At this time it is proposed to elect
a new president, John r. Wiley hav-
ing rendered his resignation at a
meeting held last Tuesday. He gave
as his reason that he thought that
the greatest work of the organiza-
ton came in the winter months and
that officers should be elected early
in the season rather than to wait
until January. Another reason for
his resignation was that he believed
that some other citizen could unite
and better concentrate the efforts of
the community than he.
At the meeting held Tuesday eve
ming all those present were called
upon to give their views concern
ing what line of work would be
most advisable for the club to take
up and promote this winter Some
suggested various means of adver-
Using, others thought the matter
of dyking the city to be proper
work for the commercial club, several
suggested that the club make an
effort to secure a municipal water
plant, some suggested that an eff
fort be made to interest capital in
our mining resources and others
thought that a paper and palp mill
could be secured in this county.
Messrs. H. o. Jackson, j. F. Nc
Ciocklin and L. N. Brown were ap-
pointed on a committee % prepare
and present to the club next Tues
cay an outline of work for the COM
ing year.
The matter of financing the com
nercial club was brought up and
President Wiley appointed AIessrs. A.

gate ways and means Df raising

November 81.
County Surveyor ]. Harley Cave
made a repart on the matter Of
dyking along the banks of the
koctenai river from the Great
Northern bridge east of town 10 the
S. l. bridge west of the city. He
reported that a substantial dyke
could be built at a cost of about
$4,000, figuring on the basis of 20
cents per yard for the hauling OF
dirt. This dyke would be four feet
wide at the top. 1t would have to
be protected in several places from
The current of the river and such
protection would increase the cost
of dvking.
Judge Flynn was present at the
meeting and gave a brief but spicy
address in which he stated his views
upon what work the commercial club
should concentrate its efforts.
Among the citizens who have been
most prominently mentioned to sue
coed Mr. Wiley as president of the
commercial club is DR.. E. f. Fry
1t is understood that DIR. Fry will
accept the presidency if he is as
sured that all of the people of Bon

Stock Damaged by Water.

The general merchandise stock of
J. w. Reid's store was damaged
by water to the extent of about
$1,000 Tuesday night owing to the
fact that the water faucets in the
I. o. o. F. hall, overhead, had been
left open and coffee grounds had
been thrown into the sink 1t is
understood that arrangements have
been made to reimburse Mr.. Reid
for his loss.
The water faucets had been opened
when the service in the city was
cut off owing to slush ice in the
fumes at the power plant of the
Bonners Ferry Water & Light COM
pany. When the service was re-
sumed at IL o'clock Tuesday night
the water soon filled the sink and
ran over the sides. The merchan-
disc stock which was damaged by
the water consists of mems furnish
ings, laces, ribbons, notions, corsets
ladies' wear and Christmas goods.
Mr.. Reid plans to put the goods
damaged by water on sale in the
near future and there will be many
chances to secure fancy goods al
low prices on account of the water
marks and stains.

DIED ON TOP
OF BOX CAR
Joe Dunn's Death on S. |. Railway
Refrigerator Car Causes Inves-
tigation Here
HIS PARTNER HAD HIS MONEY
First Told Coroner and Sheriff That
He Was Broke

A man supposed to be Joe Dunn
died suddenly last evening as he and
his partner, Jack Dillon, were at
tempting to enter a refrigerator car
through the top ventilator, IN the
westbound Spokane International
freight train at Kingsgate. Dillon
notified the train crew that his part
ner was dead. The body was left
on top of the refrigerator car until
the train reached this city when
Coroner Reich was notified and took
it IN charge.
Dillon told Coroner Reich that he
and Dunn had been travelling to-
gether for two years and that they
were broke. When the search was
made through the clothes of the
dead man some 40 cents in cur
rency was found, some few personal
effects and the top of a pill box
which had been given Dunn at
Lethbridge. Dillon told that Dunn
had been sick and that just as he
was about to enter the ventilator
of the refrigerator car at Kings
gate Dunn had fallen over and that
he was dead before Dillon reached
his side.
Dunn had a bruise on the left
side of his forehead. His skull was
not fractured and the authorities
here do not believe that he met with
foul play. 1t is thought, however,
that Dillon planned to get away
with money belonging to the dead
man.
After Dillon had told Coroner
Reich and Sheriff Worley that he
and Dunn were broke, the local
authorities became suspiciOuS of Dill
lon and started to make a search
of his clothes. 1t was then that
Dillon admitted that he had $115
in Canadian currency and a $75
draft on the Bottineau National
Bank of New York, drawn in favor
of Joe Dunn. An Exchange Ma
tional bank book, of Spokane, was
also found on Dillon, which showed
that Dunn had a deposit in the Spo.
kane bank of $125.25. The local
authorities believe that Dillon was
befriended by Dunn and that the
S115 in currency belongs to the dead
man. Dillon claims that he owns
a half interest in the money deposit
ed in Spokane and that he is also
entitled to half of the S75 draft ano
the S115 of currency.
Coroner Reich has wired to Leth-
bridge in an endeavor to learn some
thing of the identity of the deac
man and to find out what medicine
had been prescribed for him by the
Lethbridge doctor. The authorize!
here believe that Dunn's death wa.
caused by a hemorrhage. =,
Dillon will be held here by Sheriff
Worley until a full investigation ha!
been made.

WATER SUPPLY CUT SHORT
Bonner Water & Light Company

Bonners Ferry's water supply was
suddenly stopped Saturday night
when the slush ice in the flume at

an extent that the Bonner Water
& Light company was unable to
generate power to operate the water
pumps.
The slush ice is a hindrance which
Manager GAZE has had to contend
with several seasons when the cold
snaps came before snow fell. Sew
eral men are employed by the COM
pany to keep the water flume clear
of the hindrance.
Owing TO the fact that the water
had been drawn out of the mains
there were a number of frozen water
pipes and it was Tuesday night be
fore the water company was able
to resume service.
Manager Gale stated today that
his company is contemplating the
construction early next spring of &
new pumping station which will be
built on the same plan as the one
constructed on the Northside, last
spring, only it will be much larger
The new pumping plant will cost
about $4,000. 1t will be so located
and built that there will be nc
