without saying anything to any
body and his whereabouts are
unknown.
The check incident set Olson's
friends and neighbors to talking
about him and they remembered
that he had not been seen since
The middle of November and his
brother-in-law started inquiries
about him. Sheriff Leaf was
communicated with and inquiries
were set on foot in regard to the
check. The Exchange bank of
Spokane, upon which it had been
drawn, reported that it had not
been presented there for payment.
A telegram was sent to Mr..
.Olson's mother in Seattle, ask
ing her if she knew anything as
to her sons whereabouts, but no
reply had been received up to
yesterday morning, at which time
Sheriff Leaf left for Fernwood
and Clarkia to prosecute a search
for the missing man in that To-
cality.
Olson was between thirty-liv'
and forty years of age and was
lquiet and sober. He always car
ried considerable money on hi
lperson and his friends fear fou
play.

Trouble Keeping
River Open
IcE-BREAKER OUT OF COMMISSION
Steamer Flyer Misses One Trip. Will Attempt to
Keep River Open All Winter

The Red Collar Line is having
considerable trouble in keeping
the river open so that it can op-
crate its boats. Heretofore it
has been the custom to buck the
ice with the regular boats and
when it got too thick to break the
boats were laid up. Even in this
way ice several inches thick could
be broken but it was very hard
ON the boats and entailed con-
siderable expense for repairs.
This winter Manager White hit
upon a scheme by which he be-
lieved he not only could keep the
river open but protect the boats
to a considerable extent from
damage by the ice. A barge was
rugged up with a heavy ice-break-
eI on the bow to be pushed be-
fore a boat to break channel
through the ice.
The nights are always the cold
est and there is about eleven
hours between the time the boat
comes in at night and the time
it leaves i'm the morning for the
river to harden, so it is the first
boat in the morning that has the
trouble in getting through. With
Two boats running each way dur
ing the day it is comparatively
easy to keep the channel open
during the day, even with zero
weather. For these reasons the
strongest boat on the river, the
Flyer is kept on the first run, GO
ing down early in the morning
and coming back at night. The
barge with the ice-breaker was
fastened to her bow and pushed
ahead of her to break the chan
mel.
The scheme worked we'll up to
Wednesday and the channel has
been kept open and the boats
running. Going down Wednes-
day the ice was quite thick and
The strain on the barge was so
great that some of the seams
opened and the crew had great
difficulty in keeping it from sink
ing.
The Flyer left the barge and
continued her run to Coeur d.
Alene to make her connections
with the trains and then came
back and towed the barge to CoeuI
d'Alen for repairs. The ColfaN
made her regular run Wednes-
LAY but on account Of being
Lobliged to come back after the
har &c ard take it to Coeur IL Alenc
the Flyer coud not make its reg
llar trip up Wednesday night anC
SO there was no morning boat
out from here Thursday.
The Colfax left Occur d'Alent
at the usual time that day bui
found the ice very thick in the
clVer and finally broke down anC
had to return. The Flyer made
the trip through without the as.
distance of the ice-breaker. Ex
lpecting trouble with the ice sh
started on her down trip thi
morning a half hour earlier thar
her usual time.
The barge is being repaired a
Occur d'Alene and as the weathe
has moderated it is thought tha
the Flyer will be able to keep tn
channel open until the ice-break
cr can be put in commission
Manager White states that if
is possible a channel will be kep
. open and the boats will run a.
winter.

Begin Work On
Box Factory
PUTTING UP FRAME OF BUILDING
Machinery Will Be Moved From Lewiston.
Be Ready to Start In Spring

d. j Wilson of the Lewiston
Bow company, which is putting
in a box factory here, has arrived
ir the city with his family and has
moved into the Petersen house,
east of the st. Maries river. Ac-
tive work has been started on the
box factory plant.
The concrete foundation for
the building was put in early in
November and it has been allowed
to settle until now. The side
track running to the plant was
also put in about the same time
so the material and machinery
for the plant can be unlOaded
right at the building, saving the
time and expense of teams to un-
load.
The plant is located inside the
dyke, directly east of the old
sawmill in the Petersen addition
and the side track runs from the
track leading to the Milwaukee
Lumber cOmpany'S mill. The
timbers for the building were un-
loaded Monday and crew of men
are busily at work putting up the
frame. The building is 1876 feet
long by AZ feet wide and the work
of putting it up is being pushed
as rapidly as possible consider
ing the weather.
Mr.. Wilson will move the ma
chinery from his Lewiston plant
and install it here but this will
not be done until the building is
completed and ready to receive
il. The machinery consists OF
all the different machines usual
~ found in a modern, first-class
box factory. The motive power
will be electricity and a 1870 horse
power motor will be installed and
will furnish the principal power
although it is likely that some of
the machines will be furnished
with individual motors. Besides
being more economical, electric
power lessons the danger from
fire.
: Mr.. Wilson expects to have the
factory finished, the machinery
installed, and ready to commence
business early in the spring.
The company was know as the
Lewiston Box Factory while Op-
Grating in Lewiston but there is
some talk of changing the name
of the corporation now that the
plant has been moved here. This
will be decided at the next meet
ing of the stockholders.
The locating of the plant here
means much to st. Maries as Il
will add materially to the pay
roll of the city. This was done
without asking for or obtaining
any contribution from the city
and the people were not asked t.
contribute a cent. The only
concession which the cOmpan.
asked was that the city put in ;
water main and furnish watel
for fire protection and domestic
use at the regular commercial
rates and we have no doubt bu
what the city will do this.

WEANLING PIGS GROW FAST
Greatest Gains for Feed Consumed
Are Made in Early Life-Lard
Hogs Becoming Unpopular.

The prevalent opinion seems to be
that swine were designed to eat up
the corn crop and grow into 300
pound porkers. Under certain cir.
eumstances there is a better profit in
selling weanlings than in feeding
them up to the usual market weights.
Exact trials at many experiment
stations show that the greatest gains
for feed consumed are made in early
life and that as the animals grow old
er Il takes more feed to produce a
pound Of pork.
The sucking pig grows very fast
and converts nearly all Of its rations
into meat. If the sow is fed literally
she, too, will make some gains while
supporting her brood. The weanling
weighing 25 to 40 pounds is almost
clear gain and will often bring ten
cents a pound at this age.
On the same principle the 150-pound
pig will make more profitable re-
turns on feed consumed than if left
until it weighs ESQ pounds. There is
an increasing number of farmers who
prefer to sell light bacon hogs and
fewer who continue to feed lard
hogs" up to the extra fat classes that
were popular a score Of years ago.

BUTTERMILK GOOD FOR CALF
Feeding Value Is Practically Same as
That Of Skim MiIk--Some Danger
Of tuberculosis.

Calves can be successfully raised
with buttermilk instead Of skim milk.
says one farmer. The feeding value
Of buttermilk is practically the same
as that of skim milk. There Is some
risk Of contracting contagious diseases
such as tuberculosis in feeding fac
tory buttermilk, unless the buttermilk
is from pasteurized cream. For this
reason skim milk is more desirable
Buttermilk should always be fed as
fresh as possible SO that the degree o.
acidity is the same.
Buttermilk may be substituted for
skim milk when the calf is three
weeks old. The substitution should
occupy a period of a week or ten
days, so that the calf is at least a
month old by the time the diet con-
sists wholly of buttermilk.
Other feeds should be used with
buttermilk just the same as with
skim milk. Equal parts of ground corn
and either oats or bran with alfalfa
or clover hay has given the best re-
suits. Calves will usually begin to
nibble a little clover hay when two
weeks old. They may be taught to
eat grain at the same time by placing
a little in the bottom of the milk
bucket after feeding.

EtSaSty wi VOW ~
crete Road, Chevy Chase, Md.
marveled at the excellence of the
work.
Manufacturers who have supplied
bituminous materials for the treat
ment Of the road have detached their
special experts for this service and
the traffic over the road has demon
strated under carefully observed con-
ditions the relative value Of the sew
eral types Of road making up this great
highway.
The Chevy Chase road is expert
mental. It consists Of different types
of -bituminous macadam
laid by the penetration method, sur
face treatments OF waterbound ma
cadam, asphaltic surfaces on concrete
foundations, bituminous surfaced con-
crete, plain and oil cement concrete
and vitrified brick, all of which are
under daily observation by expert
road builders to ascertain which OF the
types is best suited to the traffic and
whichais condemned by practica- test
under the same conditions Of climate,
soil, rainfall, heat and cold and like
traffic requirements. 1t would be just
the same to the Office of public roads
which has written this open book in
concrete, brick and stone whether any
part of it or all parts Of it should fail,
failure in materials used, in construc-
ton, in durability, in cost, in mainte-
nance-the test is the thing.
Road building is science now, and
efficiency is the only test Of quality.
In the stones used in the construc-
ton of the Chevy Chase road, their
specific gravity, their weight per cubic
foot, their water absorption, their per-
centage of wear, their hardness and
toughness are all determined by the
most careful scientific tests. Patrol
men are constantly employed on this
road to keep account of whatever de-
fects in materials and construction
may develop and exact data as to the
cost of maintenance.
The Chevy Chase road was fortu'
nately placed for the reason that all
of it's sectionc of types have been SUBJ
jected to precisely the same sort Of
traffic year in and year out and the
section or type that has not stood the
strain has been as important an object
lesson to road builders as the section
or type that has maintained itself un-
der like strain. The road, as a whole,
is great experiment conducted by the
most competent engineers to demon
strate the most practical things.
