Talking Highway District

Fred C. MCGOWAN proposes to
launch a propaganda in the interest
of permanent road building in Latah
county. At the Chamber of Com
merce meeting on Tuesday he
brought the matter up. He had a
short time before spent several days
in the Big Bend country and called
attention to the prosperity that was
coming to all the towns in that
section from tourist travel. 1t
means. he said, from $15, 900 to
500, 900 annually to every town on
the good roads through the country.
This is especially true of the towns
on the Sunset highway. Mr.. Nc
Gowan is convinced that the Lolo
Pass road is much more scenic and
attractive than the Sunset, and that
if the right kind of work is done a
great stream of transcontinental
tourist travel can be brought
through Latah county and Moscow
He proposed the organization of a
publicity campaign to emphasize
the Importance of work in this
matter at once. The proposition
met with favor at the Chamber OF
Commerce and was referred to the
board of directors and the gooC
roads committee for action Star

Mica Mine Near Deary

The Silver White mica mine, of
Mica Mountain, is now working
steadily with a good sized crew and
is shipping mica regularly. The
product of these mines is now in
greater demand than ever before
and it is stated that the deposits of
mica in this section are practically
inexhaustible. The Silver White
is controlled by Seattle interests.
Mr.. Booth is preparing to start the
Luella mine, which promises to be-
come a good producer. The Bentz
mine is another fine property and
is on a producing basis. The mica
from this district is clear and free
from checks and is therefore valu-
able. Some idea of the value of
the product may be gained when it
is known that sheets cut 4x7 inches
are worth $12 a pound and the
larger the sheets the more they will
bring. Every particle of the mica
is valuable. A cutting plant, with
A. H. Bentz as mine manager, is to
be built in Spokane and the mica
will be shipped from the mines to
this plant for cutting, packing and
marketing.-Latah County Press.

Stand Behind d Them

America to-day is filled with
young men of the country who
wear their country's uniform and
who have offered their lives to the
service of their country. Every
city, every town, every hamlet,
every country community has some
of it's boys in the military uniform
of their country. They are the
very flower of our young manhood.
These are the men who are to go
to the battle front. How effective
they will be there, how safe they
will be there depends on the sup
port that their country gives them.
The slower the United States is to
exert its full power and put an end
to the carnage in Europe the more
of those Americans who are
now in France and those who soon
are to join them will suffer death
and the greater number of Amer
lean homes will be made desolate.
1t is not to be believed that some
national catastrophe. some calamity
that will be shameful to us if it
comes from lack of preparation or
from our failure to stand behind
our soldiers, must occur to awaken
our people to their duty.
The soldiers of the United States
are standing by their country with
steady courage and devotion to
duty that should inspire the Nation
with pride and patriotism and loyal
ty. Some of them now are facing
death for their people, are parti-
cipating in the great battles in
Europe to make the world safe for
Democracy, to insure our own safe
ty and to vindicate our honor. We
who remain here in peace and safe
ty must surely do our part.

Organize Fire Fighters

A fire fighting organization was
formed last week by the ten de-
puties chosen in this precinct by
the Latah County Protective As
sociation. 1t consists of each de-
putv with force of men who have
provided themselves with fire fight
ing tools, automobiles and other
necessary paraphernalia. In case
of fire in Kendrick or surround
ing country an alarm is sent in to
central who gives a general alarm
by continued short rings on the
phone.
Members of the organization
will assemble at the phone Office
with the cars designated and pro-
ceed to the fire. The public is ask
ed not to call up central after an
alarm is given as she will have
other matters to attend to in con-
tinuing the alarm on other lines.
A charge of five dollars was fixed
upon as a proper amount for the
person who sends in an alarm, to
pay. This amount would help de-
fray the expense of the trip to the
fire. Another meeting will be held
Monday to complete the organizat-
/ ion.

plus green peas and snap beans.
which are beginning to appear in
home gardens in many sections.
The season has been unusually good
for peas, and home gardens in many
localities are reporting unexpected
ly heavy yields. Either of these
products readily can be canned
with no other home equipment than
jars or cans and wash boiler fitted
with false bottom of Stats to keep
the jars from resting OH the bottom.

ing.
Put the prepared vegetables in a
cheesecloth bag or colander and
blanch in live steam from boiling
water for from 5 to 10 minutes.
Next dip the blanched product
quickly in cold water and remove ii
almost Immediately.
Pack the product Immediately in
to hot scalded glass jars or tin cans
Fill the containers completely
with boiling hot water to which has
been added l level teaspoonful Of
salt per quart. Place rubber ring:
on jars and screw tops almost, but
not completely, tight. The water
in the boiler will not enter these
partially closed jars. Seal tin can

: Remove jars from boiler or steri
izer, tighten covers, invert to coo
and test the joints for leakage
+. Examine cans for leaks. Even tn

prevent blanching, and store in
cool place.
If peas are roughly handled

Lake Hopatcong, where he was
working as a laborer.
In Schnurrer effects was
