The rhythmic recital given last Fri
day evening by the pupils of Miss
Lolita Clio Wallis proved most
entertaining event for the large au-
dience present which completely
filled the Amazon theatre. The pu-
pills showed careful work by their
instructor and many remarked on
the uniform excellence of all mum
bers. To designate a few for spe-
cial commentator would be unjust
to the others as all who participated
in the program did so with much
credit.
The folk dances were pleasing
feature of the program and elected
their share of the praise.

INTEREST IN STUMP LANDS
Demonstration Train Expected to
Stimulate Activity in Cleaning.

The land clearing demonstration
train that is to visit these parts
next April is attracting much favor
able attention from the owners of
stump land, according to reports
from the Spokane chamber of COM
merce. Many owners of large tracts
of stump land have stated that they
plan to accompany the train and
learn all they can in regard to the
clearing of land, and in this connec-
ton there is growing conviction
that the land can be cleared at a
reasonable figure and furthermore
that settlers can be induced to buy
the land and begin it's development.
AS proof of this assertion it is
cited that in two localities alone, at
Standpoint and near Spokane, $4,000
acres of stump land were sold last
year. The Humbird Lumber COM
pany of Standpoint has been carrying
on an active campaign for some
time for the sale of its cut-over
lands and last year, according to this
report, sold $4,000 acres. At least
so per cent of the purchases are
said to be settlers from other states
who intend to move onto the land
at once, start clearing and make
their places productive. The land
in the Standpoint section is no better
than in other parts of northern
Idaho and if sales can be made
there similar results can be obtained
elsewhere by using the same or as
efficient methods.
1t is believed locally that the dem
onstration train is being sent out
at the correct psychological time and
that it will stimulate to a marked
degree the clearing of northern
Idaho stump land.

Do Not Like Clark
Seeding Strawberry

From 25 to 30 people gathered in
the X. of P. hall Saturday after
noon to consider further the ques-
ton of engaging in the growing of
strawberries on a larger scale. An
encouraging interest was shown in
the matter but there seemed to be
considerable opposition to adopting
the Clark Seeding as the berry to
be grown here. The objection to
this berry is that it does not yield
prolifically enough. The contention
is that with this variety producing
only 80 crates to the acre-its ac-
llnowledged yield-there would not
be great enough returns for the
grower to bother with the business.
It has been realized from the
start that the small yield of the
Clark Seeding was great draw
back, and the men who have been
pushing this matter have felt from
the beginning that a more prolif-
ic berry should be planted locally if
one could be found that would COM
mand a ready sale at a good price,
The Clark Seeding can be shipped
long distances and always finds
ready sales on that account and it
seems to be the berry most favored
by the Spokane association with
which the local people wish to af-
filiate. For these reasons the Bon
ners Ferry growers have been con-
sidering it but have always been full
ly aware Of its weak point from the
standpoint of yield.
At the Saturday meeting it was
stated that Lee Fewkes has grown
with unusually successful results two
varieties at Naples, has shipped them
long distances and has always re-
ceived the top price. In one in
stance he shipped three crates tC
Wisconsin and the lady receiving
them said that in canning them she
found only half box of spoiled Der
ries. The varieties grown by Mr.
Fewkes were the Senator DUNLAP
and the Warfield. These two va
rieties give much greater croI
than the Seeding. Another berry
grown to some extent locally is tn,
Parsons Beauty but this is declared
to be absolutely unavailable as i
will not stand shipment.
1t was decided Saturday to taxi
up the matter of the variety to b,
planted with the Spokane associa
ton and get their judgment in re
gard to the Senator Dunlap and tn,
Warfield. If their verdict is favor
able it will simplify matters as t.
the variety to adopt here. In thu
meantime diligent efforts will b.
made to find some berry that viii
stand shipment and meet the require
ments of the retail trade and a
the same time produce a good yield
The men at the head of the loca
association are convinced that sucl
berry is produced somewhere an
they are also as firmly convince'
that this industry, properly handled
will mean much to the prosperit
lof this vicinity.

Federal Prisoner
Attempts to Escape

Homer Dayton, a prisoner who is
being held in the county Jail await
ing trial before the federal court
at Occur d'Alene City, attempted to
escape last Friday evening while at
the doctors office having a wound
dressed. The attempt ended ir fail
ure and Dayton was soon back in his
old quarters in Sheriff Sawyer's es-
Establishment.
Every few days since Dayton was
locked up Sheriff Sawyer has ia
ken him to DR.. Fry's office to have
wound on his head dressed, re-
ceived when he resisted the customs
officers at Eastport. Friday eye
ming, having been delayed some

the prisoner, d. P. Dayton and DR..
Faucet were all in the doctors of

dressed when DR.. Faucet stepped
into the small room between his and
DR.. Fry's offices. The sheriff fol-
lowed to speak to DR.. Faucet and
had scarcely stepped out of the
sight of the prisoner when he heard

into the room he saw that the pris-
Oner was gone and started post haste
down the stairs after him, reaching
the street in time to see his man

alley and the sheriff figuring that
he would cut through and come

started and it was only a few min.
