TO OPEN NOOKSACK
FOR NAVIGATION?
Ferndale Physician Starts Movement
To Clear River For Use of Freight
Boats

A movement to open the Nook
sack River for navigation once more
has been started by DR.. R. N. May
field of Ferndale and the plan is
receiving favorable consideration in
many sections.
DR. Mayfield, who is retired surg
con of the United States army with
the rank of major. outlines his pro-
ject in the following letter to The
Tribune:
'iIn the early SOS, 1 had the pleas
ure of helping open up this great
valley. surveying land, helping sur
vey railroads, building roads, cutting
trails, etc.
I'm those days, you could hear
i, the shrir whistle of the Sound steam
strs on the Nooksack. The farmer
could bring his products to his riv-
er landing, where he received his
freight from Whateom and from Sc
attic without transfer.
Now, all this has passed away.
Our officers have allowed this beaut-
iful river to become a thing of the
past, commercially, through neglect.
They have allowed the mouth of the
river to become filled with sand, logs.
trees, and driftwood, so that large
vessels from Seattle and other ports
could not enter at the mouth of this
navigable stream.
"A short canal of a few hundred
feet from the main river to an arm
river navigable again.
1.-The intake should be about 400
feet north of the new bridge near
the mouth of the river. This intake
and short canal should be protected
by lock so that no driftwood or
sand can enter the canal which would
pass around all logs and jams at the
mouth of the river.
1.-The cost of this improvement
one or two miles of cement road that
IS often built and used so little that
it is not worn smooth.
1.-THE cost to the farmers will not
be anything to- speak of, but the i'm
't1rovement will furnish transportat-
ion from the upper eountry-Ever-
son and Lynden-to the sea at
very small freight rate.
"Skagit County knows enough to
use the Skagit River for the benefit
of the farmers living in the Skagit
Valley What is the matter with
the Whatcom County farmers in the
great Nooksack Valley?"

PLAN CAMPAIGN TO
SELL LIBERTY BONDS
Battalion of Workers Will Offer
-Four Per Cent Govanment Invest
ment To People

A vigorous, fighting campaign to
dispose Of Lynden's allotment of
$4,000 worth of Liberty Bonds will
open next week, when battalion of
volunteers will attempt to sell the
total amount in rapid-fire fashion.
A committee composed of P. NJ.
Serrurier. W. H. NAPLES and E. Ed
son has been appointed by the State
Committee to manage the sale, and
they will name captains and workers
to carry the governments message to
the people.
The national campaign will close
on October 81, but the Lynden COM
mittee believes that the loan will be
over-subscribed for the local share
by next Saturday.
Bonds are issued as low as $50,
and are offered on very easy terms,
but two per cent of the total being
asked for at the time of subscript-
ion, and the balance being payable
in three installments.
Almost every man can buy one of
the small bonds, no matter what his
financial condition. 1t isn't a gift
to the government, as the bonds pay
four per cent interest, and are con-
sidered the soundest investment that
can be made, as the entire resources
of the nation are back of them.
An interesting discussion of the
new issue is given in the following
editorial from the Financial World"
published this month:
Germany and the United States
are embarking simultaneously on an
appeal to their people for more of
the wherewithal to carry on the war.
1t is the second undertaking of the
United States Government and the
seventh for the peoples of the Ger
manic states. We have increased
our supply of gold since 1914 by the
sum of 81 1,2O0,000,000, while Ger
many is in such plight for adequate
gold supplies she has been compelled
to ask her people to turn in rings,
gold watches, trinkets and other gold
ornaments that the diminishing gold
supply might be replenished, and yet
the supply has fallen to point where
the Imperial Banks holdings are low
er now than at any time since the
summer of 1915. The contrast
nf hn
nations is striking and yet Germany
has started off in her appeal with no
rebuffs. The people, pinched and
suffering from all manner of priv -
tions and burdened with sorrows for
loved ones lost at sea or in battles
on land, are coming forth for the
seventh time and laying their saw
ings on the altar of their country
for sacrifice. -. With us there will
not and cannot be any commander
ing of savings as in Germany, but
our people must heed only the
promptings of patriotism and devoted
allegiance to the flag and the Gov
ernment to inspire them to buy Lib
erty Bonds. The capital is here in
abundance. The gain in profits to the
farmers alone in a year, through
the rise in the price of farm produce
over normal prewar levels, is esti-
mated at more than $1,000, 100000
or sufficient to more than twice cover
the total Offering"
Bonds may be obtained at the Lyn-
den State Bank, or from any mem
ber of the teams which will canvass
the district next week.

REVENUE 10 BURN
 F BILL PASSES
BURGESS BILL TAXING SOFT DRINKS WOULD RAISE THE DOUGH, BUT WOULD ALSO
 RAISE OLD HOB.

One of the most drastic revenue measures yet proposed comes from Senator Burgess. He would place tax upon anything that is sold in bottle The bill is creating quite hubbub among the soft drink manu- facturers, the consumers, and those who peddle soft drinks.
 AS so many retail merchants are affected, the Trade Record prints the bill in full, so that those who desire to oppose the measure may be fully in formed, and can take proper steps to protect their interests
 The Burgess bill follows:
 Section 1. That for the purpose of raising an additional revenue with in the state of Arkansas. there IS hereby assessed upon each and every bottle, keg, eask or barrel of Bevo Pablo, Just Right, Golden Seal, Blue Ribbon, Temp-Brew, Coca Cola, soda pop, or any and all other carbonated or soft drinks, by any name known or not known, or by any name that may be known, which drinks are to be used and sold, or kept for sale, stamp or tax of one-half cent upon each bottle holding not more than one pint, or upon kegs, casks or barrels, of one half cent for each pint contained Ill said bottle, keg, cask or barrel, and a tax of five cents upon each and ev- cry pint or pints, denomination of con centrarted sirup or extracts used for and sold for making soft drinks, and that said stamp must be placed upon the top or end of said bottles, kegs, casks or barrels, and must be cancelled or broken when said bottles, kegs, casks or barrels are opened
