F"1HE MEMORIAL DAY exercises
at Kellogg, in addition to being
impressively patriotic and ap-
propriate to the occasion, were
made notable by two announcements
made by Manager Stanly A. Easton,
pany. The first of these was an agree
able surprise, and was to the effect
that beginning on June / the 800 or
more employees of the Bunker Hill
wages ranging from 25 cents to 70
cents day, depending upon the aver
age price of lead during the preceding
month, being the same system that
now applies to all other employees of
the company The result of this an
nouncement is to give all smelter EN-
ployes an advance of rs cents per day
When work started on the smelter the
company stated that owing to the close
competition in the smelling business,
the management did not feel justified
in giving employees the advance which
had been given employees of the mine
and mill, which meant that ordinary
laborers on the smelter would receive
SO per day. The continued strong price
of lead and silver and prospect of a
continuance of these prices no doubt
induced the company to change its
attitude toward the smeltermen, and
to give them this liberal increase.
Buy Liberty Bonds.
Manager Easton also announced
that the Bunker Hill d Sullivan COM
pany had subscribed for 100000 Of
Liberty Loan bonds, and he urged en-
ployes of the company to subscribe for
such amounts as they could afford to
carry The company will carry the
bonds for employees, permitting them
to take them up by monthly payments
in amounts suited to their means, and
when the final payments are mace the
bonds will be delivered to the pur-
chasers without additional expense. 1t
is understood that the plan to assist
employees to invest in bonds outlined
by the Bunker Hill company will be
adopted by the big compan-
les of the district.

"OURTH OF JULY this year in
- Wallace will be celebrated in a
manner that will reflect the
spirit of the nation at war.
That means that in the preparation of
the program the patriotic features viii!
be preeminent, and the day through
out will be one that will inspire every
citizen with higher ideals of duty to
his country and impress upon him the
importance and necessity of rendering
whatever service is within his power
to the government at this time when
it is being tested by conflict with the
greatest military power he world has
ever known.
A general committee, or rather a
joint committee, has been appointed
by Mayor Brown and President Cor
ner, of the board of trade, which will
have complete charge of all arrange
ments for the celebration, with full
power to appoint sub committees and
do all things necessary to prepare and
carry out a program that will reflect
honor upon the city and the memoir

$4,000, and when the next issue is
offered which may be expected unless
the war should terminate suddenly,
the Elks will be in position to make
another liberal subscription. Invest

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1917-06-07

more Idaho people have been set to
| thinking and are now seriously con-
Cerned with than any other mineral
| by reason of the very limited supply
available, a condition that narrowly
threatened disastrous consequences
during the past winter.
The bulk of Idaho coal requirements
is imported from Wyoming and Utah,
which calls for a cash tribute of sew
eral million dollars year from our
people. The shortage Is not due to the
available supply, but rather to the
railway transportation facilities, our
main traffic artery, the Oregon Short
Line, being swamped with war-induc-
ed traffic.
This condition of fuel supply em-
phasizes the rottenly unbalanced ma
tional conservation policy that has
stood so persistently in the way of the
development of our magnificent water
power resources.
idaho has one single central tribu-
tary stream the Salmon river, with a
surveyed resource of enough hydro
electric power sufficient to operate 3O,-
600 miles of standard railway, and
without single cayuse head of it's
power in USE" said Mr. Bell.
with half decent encouragement
during the past ten years this
and our other vast power re-
sources in the state would have been
materially developed and available as
a substitute for our present threaten
ed fuel famine situation.
"The majority of Idaho formations
are of a crystalline metal bearing nat
ure unfavorable for the existence of
coal. We have, however a local area
Of the famous Kemmerer coal forma-
tions in Teton county, near the Wyo-
ming line, that carries series Of clean
three to ten feet thick, with consider
able preliminary development. These
deposits are situated within IL miles of
the railway, but over an easy route.
They definitely indicate a resource Of
millions of tons. Their preliminary
development has already produced
10000 tons to the local farmer trade
of as high grade fuel as is now i'm
ported into the state from any other
source. The state administration is
making a strenuous effort at this time
to forestall the present advancing
prices and prevent the present seri-
ously threatened coal famine that
faces the state for next winter, and
am instructed by the governor to as
sist the local owners of these Idaho
deposits to induce the investment of
the necessary capital to more thor
oughly develop this domestic source of
supply and put 1t in shape to justify
railway connection and l expect to go
from here to St. Anthony in few
days for that purpose

Worked Years AAao.

The upper tunnel of the Elk was
run many years ago, and it Is COM
monty referred to as the Lucretia tun-
mel. 1t was run with the expectation
of encountering the You Like vein,
but in this the owners were disap-
pointed. The old time owners passed
the best showing of ore not far from
the portal of the tunnel and run many
hundreds of feet of crosscuts and
drifts without encouraging results.
ingalls, & Ingram developed a very
encouraging showing of galena at the
point referred to near the mouth Of
the tunnel, and this will probably be
the guide TO extensive work soon to be
undertaken. The property Is on the
west slope of Mill creek hardly mile
aud half from Mullan.

GAVE SPLENDID RECITAL

The vocal department OF Alma col
loge can well be proud of the recital
given by two Of its Miss
Gladys Bradner, contralto, and Paul
Austin, baritone-Monday evening at
the college chapel Both were in
splendid voice, and neither showed n
trace Of fatigue at any time during
the program. which consisted of ele-
ven songs each.
Miss Bradner has been a baritone
contralto of the college for two years.
but her voice had never before shown
its adaptability to artistic interpreta.
ton as it did Monday evening.
The rich mellowness and perfect
control of Mr.. Austin's voice was that
OF an artist. His great composure
makes his singing delightful.
Mrs. Replogle, instructor in piano
at the college, was an admirable ac-
companist, giving good support 10
singers and at the SINE time allow
ing great freedom for Interpretation
The entire affair was such a success
that it behooves the music depart
ment many more of the kind.

Will Give Alma More Centrally Lo-

The post office in Alma will be
moved soon. and will go into the
Marshal Dallas block on South State
street as soon as il can be completed
and put into readiness to accommod-
ate the post office, with its rapidly ln-
creasing amount Of business.
The Dallas building is being con
structed just 10 the north of the Alma
House, and the work has not been
progressing very rapidly OF late. 1t
is understood. however, that Mr.. Dal-
las will rush the building to COM
pletion and have it ready now as
quickly as possible
The present quarters of the post Of
fee have been used for years, and
since Alma started its boom few
years ago, the Office has outgrown the
old quarters. making a change, a
thing that was greatly needed. An
other thing that made something else
desirable was the foct that the lease
or the present quarters expires dur
ing the summer.
Tn the new quarters the post Of
fee will have a great deal more room
than is now the case, and possibly
enough room for some years to come
vet. even though Alma continues to
boom at its present rate. From ev-
cry indication this building will serve
for a post office for some years, as
there is practically no possibility OF
a post office building for this city un-
IL after the war has been brought
to a successful conclusion, as until the
war is over the government will have
greater needs for the money.

SCHOOL CENSUS
IS COMPLETE

City Census Being Taken With the
School Census Will Not BE Com
pletcd for Week.

The work. Of the takers Of the
school census has been practically
completed and the results of the la
bors show remarkable increase in
the number of school students during
the past year.
The increase as given out Tuesday
al the school shows an increase of
1876 per cent in the number of those
Of school age in the fractional dis
trict of Pine River and Arcadia, as
the Alma district is now known. Ev-
cry effort was made on the part of
the teachers, who took the census to
have it complete and accurate and it
is believed that practically every
child in Alma of school age has been
counted in the census.
Last year the census showed l.041
school students in Alma and this year
the census has shown a count Of l.
800. the increase being 1916 per cent.
A census Of the city is being taken
in connection with the school census
and while not completed yet, is sure
to contain a surprise for the people of
Alma, as it is said that the count
will not show anywhere near the num-
ber of people here, which Alma has
already been counting as within her
borders. The census is not yet COM
pleted as regards the city, but il is
hoped that it may be completed, so
that it may be published next week.
The increase, however, will show
an increase of over one hundred per
cent since the last government census
was taken in 1910.
