Food Control.

Herbert {. Hoover, in his adress to
the senators Yesterday pointed out the
chief cause OF high prices in the effort
Of middlemen and others concerned 10
the distribution processes to purchase
increasing supplies TO avert individual
shortage. We are inclined to think
this instinct OF human nature to prepare
for expected scarcity by laying in re-
serve stocks has much more 10 do with
increased prices than speculation.
Every man in business feels that he
mus! gather in sufficient supplies oil
raw OF finished materials to insure a
continuance Of hrs operations on the
one hand and 10 save himself, on the
other, from anticipated addition 70 his
expense growing out Of the advancing
prices. Nor is the feeling limited to
the map in business. Many a house
Keeper has been cannily laying up
treasures in her larder against an ex'
pected day Of scarcity. When millions
Of people, actuated by the same desire
and pressed by an unusual emergency,
begin to buy in extraordinary quanti
ties in time Of shortened supply, the
effect is bound TO be a rise in the
piice Of all commodities involved.
This is not necessarily speculation, but
is rather the instructive application Of
foresight that in ordinary circumstances
would not be condemned,
But when nation is in peril, when
the supplies Of the commodities essen
to life are seriously curtailed, when
through the individual effort 10 obtain
and store such commodities for indi'
vidual interest prices are driven above
the reach OF the masses. and the SUI
fciency OF future supplies gravely en-
dangered, then it becomes necessary
TO apply some measure oil control 10
the situation for the general good,
Whatever faults there may be in de-
tail in the food control nea ur.s now
before Congress, it is plainly the duty
Of that body TO formulate a law thai

Awards Damage to Plaintiff

The case of John r. Wiley VS..
the Great Northern Railway com
pany, in which the plaintiff sued to
collect damages in the sum of $75
for alleged damage to a safe while
in transit, was heard before Probate
Judge Henderson Saturday. The
jury returned a verdict awarding SIS
to the plaintiff and instructing the
defendant to return the safe in good
condition.
Evidence was introduced by the
plaintiff to show that the safe was
worth 500 or more before being
damaged and the defendant submit
ted evidence stating that the safe
could be repaired for from $12
to SIS.
1t is alleged the jury exceeded
its power in ordering the railroad
to return the safe and should have
confined their verdict to a cash dam
age. The plaintiff is considering an
appeal but will not file the papers
until the railroad company is heard
from, it having offered a. settle
ment differing somewhat from the
verdict.
Attorney f. NJ. Flood appeared in
behalf of the plaintiff while the de-
PENDANT was represented by Thos
Balmer of Spokane and Frank Bot
tum of Boomers Ferry. This was
Judge Henderson's first trial case
and he is receiving much common
dation for the excellent manner il
which he handled it.

SAVES COUNTY GOoDLy SUM
County Surveyor Cave Builds APP
proach at Small Expense.

County Surveyor Harley Cave re-
turned Thursday from LENA, where
he had been supervising for the
county the building of the approach
es to the Lenia ferry. The county
at first called for bids on this work
but decided to have it done under
the direction of the surveyor and
thereby proved their wisdom as Mr..
Cave saved the county $3.50. The
lowest bid called for 4S2.00 while
Mr.. Caves total expense was
$395.40, and he put into the work
AZ yards more than the original
plans called for, thereby making a
better grade. The yardage in the
fill cost at the rate of SLIT per
yard so if he had put, in only the
amount called for on which the
bids were submitted, the expense
would have been $3O9.75 or a saw
ing of STEPS over the lowest bid.
1t was considered good business,
however, to put in the additional
yardage and thereby improve the
grade.

Seizes Booflegging Goods

A shipment of 1872 quarts of whis-
key, consisting of three 5 gallon
kegs, the rest in quart bottles. nice
ly packed 10 to the sack are re-
posing peacefully in the depot at
Troy, having been stopped on their
way into dry Idaho, according to
the Libby News. The wet goods
were taken from a freight car that
had been appropriated for the pur-
pose of the bootleggers who intend
ed to accompany the stuff into the
dry regions. A special agent hap
pened along however and thwarted
their plans, and upon his question
ing the car occupants as to whom
the whiskey belonged to, they dis
claimed ownership.

TO BUILD MORE
SIDETRACKS
Work Starts Tomorrow on Construc-
ton Of 5000 Feet Of New Tracksge
in Local G. N. Yards
WILL REQUIRE THREE WEEKS
Forty Men to Be Employed-Will
Cost SIS, 900 to $4,000

The Great Northern Railway COM
pany will build 5000 feet of new
sidetracks in it's yards at this place,
work upon which will begin tomor-
row. The work comprises the build
ing of a new sidetrack 1000 feet
long, and the extension of one of
the present tracks 1000 feet.
F. G. Gavin of Spokane, superin-
tendent of the Spokane division, and
S. w. Stiles, roadmaster for the
same division, were in Boomers Fer
ry Monday looking over the local
situation. They stated that the work
will require about three weeks to
finish and will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The new track will leave the main
line at about the present location
of the mail crane and will extend
southwark 1000 feet, while the No.
1 sidetrack will be extended 1000
feet from the southern end. This
will require considerable filling.
Just where the material for the fill
will be secured has not been de-
termined, but it may be hauled down
from the X. V. branch. A crew Of
about 40 men will be employed on
the job, which will consist of train
crews, steam shovel crews and other
. laborers.
Station Agent Ashby stated that
the local yards never have been able
to take care of the traffic in a salts
factory manner and the increased
business the railroad is now receiv-
ing made them all the more made
quate. The building of the additional
trackage at the local yards will re-
lieve this situation and will aid
somewhat in relieving the conges-
ton of traffic.

AID FOR DRAINAGE IN SIGHT
Creston Man Believes Canada Will
Aid Big Kootenai Project.

In commenting upon the announce
ment of few weeks ago by the
Herald that the report of the U. S.
engineers on the feasibility of the
drainage of the Kootenai valley
would be submitted in February, the
Creston, B. c., Review gives a good
reason why it believes the project,
if undertaken soon, would receive
the hearty aid of the Canadian gov
eminent. The Review says:
"The report, if it materializes, will
come at the opportune moment. AT
the present time plans are maturing
enormous area of agricultural land
in the four western provinces. A
sum of 200 million dollars is in
volved, the idea being to plant the
millions of acres acquired to grain
and go into stock raising as a
means of raising money to pay off
Canada's war debt in as short a time
as possible. 1t is an empire under
taking that is being received with
favor over the west.
with something reliable on the
Kootenay Flats land available, and
granted the soil is anywhere near
as productive as represented, the
10000 acres thus made available in
the Creston valley would look power
full good to the gentlemen behind
this gigantic development scheme"

ASKS RETURN OF CHILDREN
VIM. Burke Files Action in Supreme
Court of Idaho.

Attorney S. E. Henry, acting in
behalf of VIM. Burke, has filed with
the supreme court of Idaho a petit
ton requesting that court to issue
a writ of habeas corpus in the mat
ter of the Burke children, James,
Mary, Catherine, Margaret and Ed
win, ranging in ages from 10 to 6
years. The action is brought to Sc
cure the return of the children to
their parents. If the supreme court
issues the writ, a date will be set
for hearing the case in the district
court, and Attorney Henry has ask
ed that the hearing be set before
Judge Dunn at Boomers Ferry.
On September Is, 1915, the child
rem were committed to the Child
ren's Home Finding and Aid society
at Lewiston, Idaho, in whose custody
they have been since that time. 1t
is now maintained that the children
should be returned to Mr.. and Mrs.
Burke. 1t is cited in the petition
that in a case similar to this one the
supreme court has held that the
children should be returned to their
parents upon it being shown that
they were competent to take care
of the children.

WILL BUILD SIDEWALKS
UP PARK ADDITION HILL
Much Needed Improvement Well
Probably Be Built in Spring.

From present indications it is
probable that a cement sidewalk will
be built in the spring up the hill
leading to Park addition and through
that addition. A petition circulated
among the property owners affected
has been literally signed and I'M
doubtedly the city council will soon
order the formation of an improve
ment district to handle this improve
ment or will order the walks built
direct by the property owners.
Last fall committee composed of
Chas. O'Callaghan, r. E. Clapp and
G. w. Spoerry was named by the
council to circulate such a petition
1t was too late in the fall to ac-
complish much, however, and the
matter was allowed to rest until
spring. At the last council meeting
Councilman Parks brought up the
matter and proposed that it again
be pushed, whereupon the council
instructed Mr.. Parks to request the
committee to complete their labors.
They at once took up the matter
and the petition was so literally
signed that they feel there will be
no trouble in having this much need
ed improvement realized as soon as
the weather will permit its construc-
ton.
Below we give the names of the
property owners who signed the pc
tition and the number of feet of
sidewalk that each will have to
build. The committee was not able
to reach few property owners who
are absent from the town or living
elsewhere. Those signing are: G.
w. Spoerry, 495 feet; Chas. O'Cal-
laghan, $50 feet; DR.. L. E. Reich
80 feet; w. E Drake, so; Chester
Simonds, so; Will Kinnear, 1O4; r
E. Clapp, so; Otto Mathiesen, 1872;
H. L. Medbury, 1876; o. S. Davis
40; John Muhlfeld, 1876.
1t is planned to build a four-foot
cement walk from the base of the
hill to the Malcolm Bruce property
and another one running from the
DIR. Rae residence to the VIII Kin.
near residence in Eagle Park adj
dition. The council has signified its
willingness to build crosswalks where
needed.

Senator Dunlap Is

that the Senator Dunlap strawberry

Provide Hot Lunches for Scholars

superintendent Spoerry and the
directors of the Northside school
have made arrangements for the
serving of hot lunch at noon to the
pupils who come from a distance.
The first lunch was served last
Wednesday. The plan contemplates
buying the provisions from the par
ents and giving the pupil credit for
the amount purchased from his par
ent. The necessary accounts and
the purchasing will be handled by
the pupils, each pupil being in
charge for a stated period. This
will aid them to a practical knowl-
edge of bookkeeping.

Two Men Injured on
S. |. Railroad Work

Friday and Saturday were some
what unlucky days for two men
working on the S. l. railway at this
place. At present two of them are
confined to the Boomers Ferry hospi-
tai with more or less painful injuries
none of which, however, is serious.
On Friday Elmer Whipple, working
in the bridge crew, fell off the bridge
onto the ice below. He leaned over
to pick up a wrench when he lost
his balance and fell, but in falling
righted himself so that he struck
on his feet, receiving a severely
sprained left ankle. He first struck
on the thin ice and broke through
that onto the heavier ice below. 1t
is believed this broke the fall and
probably lessened his injuries. He
fell about ID feet.
On Saturday J. M. Wear, who is
engineer on the steam shovel at the
Otto Hansen & Company camp,
working on the trestle fill, got
caught in a slide of earth. In some
way not fully known, he was struck
by the falling debris but received no
injuries aside from rather painful
bruises.
The steam shovel was badly dam
aged by the slide and it was nee
essary to get the steam crane work
ing on the S. l. bridge to help clear
away the wreckage. Another steam
shovel arrived Monday and started
working this morning.
