charge Of some local man thoroughly
acquainted with the mineral resuoces
of this section. 1t was contended
that With the mining industry rapidly
coming to the front in Boundary
county this was a most opportune
time to have such an exhibit on dis
play. In this way the attention of
outside capital might be secured and
development Of the industry greatly
helped. The meeting went on record
as urging the mining committee to
see that such an exhibit is sent to
Spokane.
A letter received by w. f. Drake
from ]. S. Clark in New York was
read in which Mr.. Clark stated that
if options on millsites, power and
timber could be secured, with COM
plete data as to cost Of operation,
ETC., that it might be possible to in
terest capital in a paper mill for
Boomers Ferry, but that nothing
much could be done until this data
was furnished. 1t was reported that
accordingly an option on a millsite
had been secured, application had been
made for power from the Moyie and
request had been made of the forest
supervisor for information as to the
amount of suitable timber in the ma
tional forest adjacent to this sec
ton.
The president was authorized to
appoint a legislative committee,
which he has done as follows: f. M.
Flood, chairman, o. C. Wilson and
S. E. Henry.
Brief reports were made by L. N.
Brown, good roads committee; M. P.
DeWolf, mining committee; and j.
w. Reid, finance committee; but their
reports stated that very little if any
work had been done.

WILL SEND MINING EXHIBIT


A small number of citizens were
in attendance at the meeting of the
Kootenai Valley Commercial Club
last Tuesday evening, but neverthe-
less considerable interest was mani
Tested before the meeting adjourned.
The matter that aroused the most
interest was the informal discussion
of the drainage of the Kootenai val
ley when Rev. Hoffman, asked for
information as to what had been
done To accomplish this. M. M. Fry
spoke quite at length, giving an in
teresting account of the early work
done to drain the valley, Mr.. Fry
having been one of the crew Of en-
gineers that made the first survey
of the valley for drainage purposes
and also having been on many later
surveys. Many others spoke ON this
subject among them being M. P.
DeWolf, H. L. Claycomb, C. w. King,
o. r. Stookey and A. A. Mcintyre.
The discussion ended in the president
being authorized to appoint COM
mittee to investigate what was being
accomplished in this regard by the
Canadian people, who are now evinc-
ing interest in draining the valley,
said committee to aid this work in
every way possible.
The other matter OF most import
ance before the meeting was the sug-
gestion made by A. A. Mcintyre
that the club should send as complete
an exhibit as possible of the mining
resources of the county to the mining
congress to be held at Spokane on
February 10, the exhibit to be in

SAVING THE FENCE POSTS
charring Has Been Found to Be One
of the Best Of the Methods
Devised.

A common method of treating
fence posts to prevent decay where
they go into the ground has been
charrlng the butts. But now comes
the forestry department of the Mis-
souri, college of agriculture with the
results of experiments showing that
although charcoal cannot rot, it does
crack so badly that the little fungi
that cause rot get through and short
en- the life of the posts so treated.
Charming, the experimenters
found, failed to lengthen the life
Of willow, cottonwood, ironwood,
blackberry OF Eastwood sufficiently
to make them satisfactory post ma
teFials, and probably white walnut,
hickory, white elm, sassafras and red
bud are not helped much either, al
though tests with them have not been
continued long enough to give the
final results. Charring appeared to
give much better results in cases of
black walnut, river birch, oak, hedge,
sugar maple, black locust, honey
locust, Kentucky coffee tree, dog
wood, black ash and catalpa. The
sapwood of catalpa, hedge, black wal
nut and black locust was almost CON-
pletely burned in charr!ng.
With the failure of the charring
methods as a preservative from rot,
the college men have turned to the
use of creosote to save fence posts
from decay.-Country Gentleman.

TOWNS THAT HAVE VANISHED


The older citizens of Memphis
will remember the town of Napoleon,
that n time was said to be the
Wlckedest town on earth. MANY
years ago it was wiped out of exist
ence and has long been a memory,
and not a very pleasant memory, at
that. Pious people have always
claimed that the s~infulness of this
early river town brought down upon
its head the obliterating wrath of
Providence, and they may have been
right about that. Sodom and Co.
morrah and the cities of the plains
are said to have sinned away their
day of grace and brought upon them
selves destruction Nevertheless
sometimes the good suffer as well as
the bad. %Indianola, Tex. furnishes
one authentic instance. Indianola
was a fiourishiEg and a prosperous
coast town that took great pride in
its schools and its churches. 1t had
been settled for a long time. and
people felt secure and were happy.
In 1876 a great tropical storm came
up out of the sea and overwhelmed
and sadly injured this beautiful
place. Many buildings were DESTROYED
and swept away, and even the trees
that furnished shade we're uprooted.
Some reople moved away never to
return, but the courage of the major
lty was undaunted, and they began
building up the waste places, and
soon the town was restored and even
enlarged. In 1886 another tropical
tidal wave rolled over the little city
and carried away everything, leaving
the coast naked and unmarked by
anything save a few bricks rc SNOW
that it had ever been inhabited.
After the second disaster no one ever
dared return, and the site is fast
returning to a primeval wilderness.
