REMARKABLE RECORDS MADE IN HRSTA|D
CONTESTsB EMPLOYEES Of BUNKER HILL
WONDERFUL PROGRESS MADE SINCE LAST PUBLIC
SUPERINTENDENT HEcLA WAS INTERESTED sPEcTA.
ToR-ENTER NATIONAL CONTEST.
Don P. Campbell, Kellogg)

No first aid contest held in the
Occur d'Alenes has equalled the one
held under the auspices of the Bunker
Hill G. Sullivan company here Monday
night at the Y. M. c. A. This was the
opinion of all present including Roy
Clark, instructor of the winning first
aid team of the Hecla mine at Wal
lace last September.
Mr.. Clark said that any one of the
nine Bunker Hill & Sullivan teams en-
tered would have defeated the win
ming Hecla team, this indicating the
progress made by the men since that
time.
That there were 54 men in the en-
ploy of the company so well trained in
the work was one of the revelations
of the evening. Every man knew what
was expected of him and there was a
total lack of confusion, each team set
ting to its task with clock like preci-
sion.
In spite of the fact that the judging
was severe the teams made excellent
averages, the victory in the contest
going to the K. T. Dump squad cap
tanned by M. J. Bottinelli. This team
made hit when it appeared on the
floor in uniforms of the Red Cross
The Train Team" also presented a
natty appearance in uniforms.
The Y. M. C. A. gymnasium was
crowded to capacity to witness the
contest and the throng remained until
the last event was concluded. The
judges felt that the result following
the three regular events was too close
to decide the winner and an extra full
team event was included.
1t was in this event that the teams
shone especially as three of them made
perfect scores in spite of the fact that
they had had no time to rehearse on
this accident" The judges endeavor-
ed to make the final test severe one
as may be judged from the list of in
juries, the problem being as follows:
A Difficult Problem.
"a man is caught by cavein and
sustains a compound fracture of the
right thigh with arterial bleeding, a
cut on the point of the left shoulder
with arterial bleeding, and the loss of
the left hand at the wrist, the closed
hand to indicate the stump. Patient
to be carried on a stretcher."
The five high teams in the three reg
ular events entered this contest.
The judges who officiated were Dr.
G. S. Lesher, DR.. T. r. Mason, DR.. W.
C. Lindsay DR.. A. d. McCrackin, all
of Kellogg, and Mr.. Roy Clark, of
Burke.
Following the competition the mem
bers of the teams and invited guests
assembled at the banquet board where
an elaborate repast was spread, the
management of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan being the host, Manager
Stanly A. Easton acting as toastmas-
ter
Mr. Easton rendered the thanks of
the company to the judges for their
work and vote of thanks was extend
ed them by all present.
Mr. Cook was called upon and spoke
of the interest manifested by the men,
saying that this was wonderful, the
q company was to be congratulated for
having employees who showed such in
terest in the work. He commented on
the trouble and expense borne by the
company to stage the contest. The
work of the physicians was also the
subject of comment, Mr.. Cook saying
that he had never seen physicians take
as keen an interest in the judging as
was done during the contest, their en-
deavor to judge equitably being mark
ed.
That the ideal has not been attain
ed in scoring was his opinion, the per-
sonal equation always entering into
the work and changes being constantly
proposed.
For the Bunker Hill & Sullivan to
bring out nine teams for this contest
is something wonderful and is some
thing the company should be proud of"
Fremont Rowe's Comment.
Fremont S. Rowe of Burke was a
guest and responded when called on,
speaking of the marked Improvement
made in the work since the last con-
test at Wallace. He said that the gifts
were decidedly appropriate as the
cup" won by the Hecla team was
hardly Of value now that the state has
gone dry.
Il have seen nine teams here to-
night" he said, that could beat the
winners in the contest in Wallace last
September"
M. ]. Bottinelli, captain of the win
ming team, said that the contest was
a direct benefit to every man in the
company's employ and his proposed
vote of thanks for Manager Easton
met with hearty reception.
The results of the contest were an
nounced by Mr.. Easton at the banquet,
