MODERN QUARTERS FOR MINERS.

G. Cammack, who has been employed
at Newsome for the past several months
by the Smith Bros, who have been con-
structing bunk house and DINING
room, passed through Grangeville the
last of the week enroute to his home at
Higgins He stated he had completed a
bunk house and DINING room 22x3S
feet in dimensions and two stories high
recently for the boys. The same is built
out of logs and lined with Beaver board
making it one of the finest buildings of
the kind in the state. Peeled tamarack
logs were used and the building put up
in most substantial manner. In the
lower story is arranged a modern kit
chen with a French range and all nee
essary accessories, and dining room
that will seat large number of men
The second story is given over to the
sleeping quarters and will accommodate
more than thirty.

rs HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF.

On account of the severe snow storms
train service of the high line for the
past several days has been rather un-
certain, the train being late Sunday
and Monday night and Tuesday service
was completely suspended, the train
being annulled for that day and not
going out until $3.50 the following morn
ing. Inns interruption o. train service
through the winter on the high line can
always be expected and just why the
management of the road does not make
provisions to keep the line open by hav-
ing adquate equipment on hand should
be taken up with the proper authorities,
either of the road or the state. The
line pays handsome dividends and the
people have right to demand that
something better than wheezy locomo-
tive with tin nose be supplied to clear
the right-or-way OF the beautiful.

SECURE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
New Equipment Reduce Operating Elk.
penses on Smith Bros Property.

Through negotiations conducted by
Charley Smith of Smith Bros, the well
known mining men of the Newsome dis
trict, sufficient new capital has been
secured to assure the installation of
some improved methods of handling ore.
Among other plans to be carried out is
the erection of mill at the Ana
conda and the operating of the same
with water power. The Anaconda ore
heretofore has been hauled to the mill
on the New York property at an excess
sive cost and in spite of this has been
a paying proposition. With the i'm
proved method of handling saving of
eight or nine hundred dollars month
will be made which means handsome
sum itself. The new capital put into

BUY HIGH CLASS BONDS.
The Safety First Idea In the Invest.
nent of Money!

The bond buyer never fails. The
Spectator often does. The reason is
that the bond buyer is an investor
and the Spectator gambler. This is
not to say that money is not made In
speculation, for the records prove to
the contrary.
No country in the world offers bet
ter or safer opportunities for invest
ment In well secured, first class negoti-
able bonds : always commanding a
ready market--than the United States.
Bond sales aggregating vast amounts
occur daily ON the Stock Exchange in
railway, Industrial and public utility
obligations of the highest class. Lead
Ing bankers and financial institutions
are daily dealing in bonds equally
high class and gilt edged that are not
listed on the exchange. These include
farm mortgages, public utilities, In
dustrial and railroad obligations.
The great life insurance companies
and savings banks and trustees of
estates are all heavy purchasers of
securities Of this character, for they
are not permitted to engage In specu-
lation and are in most instances limit
ed very strictly to investments of the
safest type.
The enormous transactions In these
securities have given to bankers and
brokers of the highest rank an estab-
lished business and a large clientele,
and 1t is to the interest of dealers In
such securities to sell no other bonds
than those which are dependable.
Bonds of this character in most In.
stances give a better yield than can be
had from the savings banks with
equal stability. And when these Sc.
curities are recommended to the In.
weston by banks and bankers of un'
questioned integrity nothing better can
be found for the person who seeks

A HINT TO THE AGED.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed
for one or two days, they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain S Cough Remedy
There would also be less danger of the

ABOUT CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly

HOW JAPAN WINS TRADE

w. E. Aughinbaugh, in Leslies.
 I can recall the time when. Japanese stores were unknown in Latin-Amer- ica. Today they are to be met with in all the large cities of these re- publics while Japanese coolies have supplanted the Chinamen, against whom in many of these lands exclu- sion laws have been passed, presum : ably instigated by the willy states men of Nippon. It has been repeatedly intimated on good authority that some of the Latin republics which are nonu too friendly toward the United States have suppressed treaties with Japan. while it is an open secret that Mex ico, fin exchange for fishing privi- liges given Japanese concerns along her Pacific coast obtained financial aid and munitions from this same source.
 Markets for such articles as glass ware. toys. silk. paper goods. notions textiles. cottons, toilet goods and host of other necessities which were formerly dominated by European ma tions are now completely in the hands of the Japs, due to their reduced freight rates on national products and low wages to workers in home fac. tories, which means that these lines will be absolutely controlled In the future by Japan. As an example I may tstate that the cheap clock and watcl trade of Chile, Argentine. Uruguay Brazil and Peru are today suppliss exclusively by Japan, whereas ks United States and Germany formeria operated alone in this field

Removes Uncertainty
 From Iron and Steel

1N HE government has announced 4 the prices which may be charged for iron and steel and the fig ures are of most absorbing interest to this great district.
 The prices set are great reduc- tion from those which have been pre- vailing in the iron and steel markets and to that extent are disappointing On the other hand the removal of un- certainty from the market is itself a decidedly buoyant factor, and is ex- pected to be so accepted in industrial circles.
 Manufacturers now know what to expect. They can conduct their busi- ness and make their future arrange ments on the assurance that they are virtually guaranteed a certain price
 
 for their products.
 The stock market yesterday ac- cepted the governments action op- timistically and the producers in this distfict will, no doubt, also quickly see the great value and importance of having all uncertainty removed from quotations.
 Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, con- siders the figures fair and reasonable when everything is taken into con- sideration, and his view of the mat ter will carry great weight not only here but in iron and steel circles all over the country.

U-BoAT GETS THROUGH NETS

From the Popular Science Monthly. <From reports that reach us from Flu rope we learn that Germany has equipped some of her U-boats with ingenious de- vices to enable them to cut their way through submarine nets. One boat with a double fiange of thin sheet steel pro- truding from both sides of the bow is said to have been destroyed by shell fire and the device itself, practically intact, is said to be in the hands of the British admiralty. A second boat, equipped with heavy motor driven circular knives at- tached to steel hawsers, torpedoed a merchantmen, and the captain, while ir a small boat, made drawing Of the device for the admiralty.
 Illustrations in tFhe Popular Science Monthly give a clear idea of these net cutters. The double fange of thin sheet steel which protrudes from both sides of the bow of the submarine is operated by electrically controlled gear The fanges spread on either side of the bow to a distance of IS feet or 36 feet in all, whenever the nose of the vessel touches an obstruction. Their action is said to be automatic, although an operator within the boat can extend or withdraw the device at any time by moving two heavy metal arms.
 The U-boat equipped with the circular knives is obviously far better able to cut it's way through net than the boat just
 described It does not bother about a
 device at the bow, figuring, no doubt
 that the sharp nose of the vessel and
 it's rounded hull are sufficient to get
 through a net or stop the boat before it
 become entangled. However, it does not
 permit its coming tower to go unpro-
 tected Several strands of stout steel
 hawsers containing motor driven knives,
 a foot in diameter and placed about a
 foot apart are stretched from the bow through the coming tower to the stern. Striking a net, the knives would revolve on a flexible shaft.

pointing out as the logical method of

pointing out as the logical method of conserving the sweet potato crop.
 Other important problems in south ern farming are now receiving close attention.
 The enormous crops of food and feedstuffs raised in Alabama this year will be in active demand, but as to whether all the farmers who have worked hard to produce bumper crops and have succeeded will be able to market them to advantage will de- pend upon the amount of co-opera- tion between the producer and the marketing committee of the prepared ness bureau.
 The question of crop diversification and the value of intensive farming will be put to practical tests in the south this winter. With prevailing prices the farmer should add greatly to his bank account, and if 1917 turns out to be the prosperous year that is reasonably expected he will be heartened and work all the harder to raise large crops again in 1918. Should he be unable to market all that he has for sale there will be, as matter of course, falling off next year. It behooves every business man, therefore, to help make this the south's banner year from the view point of handling the food supplies.

A DARING CAMERAMAN

IOhi tiiC SiHCHid ANCW D..
 Aviators, deep-sea divers and steeple- jacks are commonly supposed to pos> sess monopoly on daring. but there is a new sort of occupation which re- quires young men with all the requis- ties of these and still more-namely, the cinematographer. Folliwing the dictates of his director the camerannan must essay any danger in order to pho tograph the scene desired. If the actor takes one chance the cameraman must take two. For instance, if an actor Is driving a speeding automobile. he is seated comfortably at the wheel while the man turning the camera Is perched precariously- on a fiimsy board contrs- vance attached in front of the hood. When the scene portrays a flight at the edge of housetop. the photographer lis generally swinging in a Bosun's chair from a telegraph cable. He must
 not know fear.
 | Of this intrepid coterie of men who
 photograph the thrill that makes the
 audience writhe collectively in It's or {, chestra chairs, none is better known
 than J. Roy Hunt. whc has done the
 photography under Herbert Brenons
 direction for many years. Tn fact. il ! is questionable of MT. Brenon would ever start on picture unless Hunt was
 in front of him with his camera, so lsteadfast is the famous directors con fidence in his photographer. Hunt has taken more chances than Rodman Law
 and it is a well known fact that dur ing the taking of The Daughter of the
 Gods in Jamaica whenever the stai ldemurred at performing some particu- larly perilous stunt Hunt would
 promptly do it himself to prove that il was safe The photographing of the
 sensational aeroplane battle in midail which furnishes punch" to "The Lone Wolf" is the latest feat of Hunt. He took all of these scenes from thirt Iaeroplane while the other two machines
 were flying underneath him, and tht larmy pilot who drove the plano de. clared afterwards that he hoped h' never would have to take the chance. in France. that he did at the bidding Iof the photographer in order to secure this scene

More Money Needed
 Than PaltrY $50,0OO

~ COMMENTING on the exposure NJ made by the state department of Baron von Bernstorff's request for $50, ,0O0 to be used in influencing Con- gress, a number of American news. papers are surprised at the smallness of the sum.
 As matter of fact, $50,000 would seem inadequate, but it should be re. membered that, according to the Bern storff message, this was an additional expenditure. No doubt an equal or a much larger amount had already been used.
 However, the intense indignation aroused by the discovery of Won Bern storff's duplicity does not concern it. self particularly with the amount of money he spent, or planned to spend, in an attempt to undermine the high est legislative body in the country.
 A congressional investigation will show whether or not any German money was received directly by a member, or members, of Congress. It hardly seems probable that repre- sentative or senator, no matter what his attitude has been toward the war, would be so blind to his obligations as to accept bribes from the German government. Yet there are congress men who are under suspicion and Mir. S will force an investigation.

DON'T HOARD YOUR FOOD

The Womans Home Companion says:
 'In times of need 1t is natural to hoard This Is a primitive instinct. Many animals hoard food for the win ter and usually 1t is when their food is plentiful, vastly in excess of their needs. It may indeed be said to be the general rule that if unlimited food supplies are available. animals that hoard will do so in excess of the needs of the season.
 This is also true of human beings. When they hoard they hoard unwise- ly and in excess of their needs, and the result is the same as in the case of animals. Food is lost through decom position. From the standpoint of the economy of the purchaser this is the first reason against boarding.
 "The second reason against hoard ing is that of driving up all the prices. No matter whether the demand is natural or artificial. the result upon the price Is the same. The act of hoarding. therefore. Is a social crime fin that it drives up the price of living for the individuals who do not hoard and to the profit of no one"

Bankhead Highway
 Association Active

MM ANY of the great highways 3V4 connecting remote sections of the country and named with a view of perpetuating an historic event or keeping alive popular soubriquet of local significance, have aroused en- thusiasm or the part of the promo ters, but perhaps none has taken such a deep hold on the people living in states through which various routes pass as the Bankhead highway. This great project, in all probability, will be designated by Congress military road and when that is done the gov ernment will maintain it. In fact, it would be in keeping with Senator Bankhead's progressive good roads work for Congress to vote substan- tial sum to aid the highway at the start.
 The highway route has been prac- tically decided upon between Bir- mingham and Greensboro, N. C., but the route from Greensboro northward to Washington, D. C., is "the point at issue" Should it take the line via Raleigh, Petersburg, Richmond and Fredericksburg, known as the east ern route, or the line via Reidsville, N. C., Danville, Lynchburg and the Shenandoah valley, known as the western route? Representative citizens of Virginia are greatly stirred up over the ques- tion of location. The highway scouts will go over both of the proposed routes in November and upon their recommendation the decision will be made.

Marketing Problem
 This Year and Next

8MF the record breaking sweet po- NJ tato crop, which the agricul- tural department estimates at 8S, ,0O0,- 900 bushels, 90 per cent were grown south of Maryland. The yam is es- sentially a southern vegetable, and up to few years ago was consumed chiefly in the south; but it is now in large demand in the north, especially in hotels in great cities.
 When 50,000,oO0 bushels used to be considered a fair, yield there was little trouble in marketing it in the south, but with prodigious increase . real problem looms up. Every com munity in sweet potato section needs a modern storage house for this high ly esteemed food.
 "A little effort intelligently directed by business mems organizations of southern cities during the next few weeks would save the nation approx imately 30,o00,000 bushels of goods in the form of sweet potatoes," said Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary oi agriculture. Ut is the patriotic duty Of merchants, bankers and farmers associations in southern communities IS well as good business, to see that sweet potato storage houses are pro vided in trade centers.'
 The food preparedness committed of Birmingham has been urging fol soms weeks the very thing that, the assistant secretary of agriculture is
