70 DEMONSTRATION TRAIN
Spokane Chamber of Commerce I'm
able to Carry out Plans.

z. F. C. Van Dissel, chairman of
the Logged-off Land committee of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
announced last week that it had been
decided to postpone indefinitely the
land clearing demonstrations planned
this spring in various parts of the
Inland Empire. The announcement
reads as follows:
Events that were beyond our con-
troll have made it necessary to post
pone the operation of the land clear
ing demonstration train that was
proposed early in the year. The Spo-
kane chamber of commerce has been
ready at all times to proceed in the
matter and do it's part to make a
success of the enterprise. The CO.
operation of the manufacturers of
land-clearing equipment can be Sc
cured when conditions are favorable
for the demonstration train to be
operated.
"The threatened railroad strike
caused uncertainty at the time it
would have been necessary to com
plete arrangements if the train could
have been operated this spring.
"Now, war conditions have made it
out of the question for the railroad
company to guarantee that its equip
ment can be used at any definite
date weeks ahead.
at has been the hope of the com
mittee that definite announcement
could be made that the demonstration
train will be operated early in the
fall. But no one can tell what the
conditions may be with the railroads
four months from this time.
"As soon as we know there will
be nothing to interfere with the sue
cess of the land-clearing demonstra-
ton train, you can be assured that
this enterprise will have the active
attention and support of the Spokane
chamber of commerce and the Great
Northern railway"

pleted.
Only one subscription was made
the past week, so far as is known,
that of B. F. Payne who gave SIS.

Movie FIume Dynamited

George Meininger, the care-taker in
charge of the property of the Moyie
Hydraulic, Mining and Water Power
company on the Moyie river, was in
the city last Wednesday morning and
reported that some one had dyna-
mited a part of the mining company's
flume at the intake on Skin creek.
He said that about four feet of the
flume was destroyed.
The work was done Tuesday night.
Meininger made the discovery when
he noticed that no water was coming
down the flume Wednesday morning
and he walked to the intake to find
out what was the trouble. He phoned
to officers of the company in Spo-
kane to advise them of the damage
done and to ask for instructions.
