dug-outs are constructed under the
ground for the men to sleep in with
about a foot of straw on the bottom.
Some have hunks on the sides. The
underground kitchens, company of
fices, latrines, supply and store dug

interesting to us but are extremely
hard to make. Everything is covered
with grass, leaves and sod to make
it look natural and hide the whole
system. This art the French call
Camoflaunge.'
eve have two French officers here
on duty seeing that the trenches are
made right. We eat, sleep and live
in them three days of each week.
Some of the work is old to me,
of course, but most of it is new 10
everyone here, even the regular army
officers. Some days | feel gooc
and some days | feel that l will
never make anything out of it. We
are daily expecting a housekeeping
and when it comes l expect about
half of the men here will leave.
'We are being shown and taught
how to handle some terrible killing
machines. You really cannot mag
inc the brazen feeling, or should
say, total absence of feeling, or sym.
pathy, that seems to overcome one.
'This is a great game. Sometime!
1 wonder why l am here when other

OPENS REAL
ESTATE OFFICE

G. L. Race of Minot, N. Oak.
who has been in this locality sew
eral weeks, securing options on farm
property with a view of bringing
here a colony of Montana ranchers,
has decided to remain in Bonners
Ferry permanently and has leased
quarters in the Bonner Hotel build
ing where he will conduct a real
estate office.
Mr.. Race is anxious to secure
listings of all farms in this district
which are for sale. He is repre-
senting a number of farmers from
the Dakota states who are seeking
new locations and he believes that in
the Kootenai valley they will find
the climate and soil just what they
want.
In many Montana points the farm
ers have faced discouraging crops
for number of years. The farm
ers are never sure of a bumper
crop and half crops are not always
certain. Mr.. Race has interested
a group of these farmers in com.
ing to Boundary county and he hopes
to begin colonization work in the
near future.
While Mr.. Race will make a spec
ialty of farm property he will alsC
list town property and conduct {
general real estate business.

victory for the latter, the score
bing 33 to 10. The playing of Kent
and Boileau of the Soutnslde team

Boundary county's quota of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan is 100000. This

Boundary county have arranged
however, to place bonds on the in
stallment plan. The subscriber i!
given ten months in which to pay fol
the bond or bonds he may subscrib,
for. On this basis, if the SUBSCRIBE
bought 500 bond he would pay tn,
bank $40 per month and interest, tn,
interest payments being due afte
November 18th. The usual rates o
interest in this district are 10 and l.
per cent, but the local banks hav
agreed to charge only z per cent OF
deferred payments for Liberty LOAF
bonds, and if such a thing shoul,
happen that the subscriber is unabl
to make his payments he will no
forfeit the money paid in but i
will be returned to him on Januar.
Is, 1918. Under this plan it will cos
a person just 3 per cent interest t
subscribe for a bond and pay for
in monthly installments as the secon
Liberty Loan bonds carry A per cen
interest.
The first of the bonds of the frs
Liberty Loan were received by tn
