Log FIume For
Marble Creek
WILL Be EIGHTEEN MILES in LENGTH
Rutledee Timber Company Building FIume To
Obviate DaneeFOUS Drive

The Rutledge Timber company
has started operations looking, to
the building of a flume on Marble
Greek, which is intended to
change the system of getting logs
from the Marble Greek section.
The getting out of the timber
from that country has been one
of the most difficult tasks that
the lumbermen have encountered
in this section.
Heretofore the logs have all
been driven down Marble Greek
into the st. Joe river but Marble
Greek is one of the most danger
Gus streams as we'll as one of
the hardest in this section to
drive. Each season several
men have lost their lives while
engaged in this work. Different
plans have been proposed to do
away with the necessity of driv-
ing this creek. The Milwaukee
Lumber company, which is also
a heavy owner of timber lands in
this section, had planned on
building a railroad up the creek
but the Rutledge people consid-
cred the flume better and
cheaper proposition.
The hume which they are
building is 18 miles long. It is
being built n three sections and
the company is putting in a port
able sawmill for each of the sec
tions to saw out the lumber for
its construction.
A. S. Campbell, formerly of the
st. Joe Improvement company,
has been busy for the past two
weeks getting in two $4,000 lb.
} boilers from Clarkia for the two
upper sections of the flume. He
is also taking in the other ma
chinery for the mills. This
equipment is being taken in now
on account of the rough nature
of the land, the deep snow max
ing it much easier to handle the
heavy machinery.
The boiler and machinery for
the mill for the third section will
be taken in from Marble Greek,
on the Milwaukee. This work
is nearly completed and the COM
pany will be ready to commence
building the flume as soon as
the snow will permit.

New Steamer
Nearly Completed
WILL BE FASTEST BOAT ON LAKE
will Make Trip From This City To COeur d'AIene
In Two Hours. Two Trips Daily

The new steam boat which the
Red Collar Line has been at
work building for the past few
months is nearly completed. 1t
was launched about six weeks
ago, since which time the COM
pany has been busy putting in
the machinery and building The
upper works.
Although not large, the boat is
the finest and most costly on
these waters. It has been built
exclusively to take care Of the
passenger traffic between Occur
q Alene and st. Maries and will
handle no freight, although it will
take care of the express business.
The length of the boat is 12O
feet, 2 inches over all, beam 20
feet and draws 3 feet inches. It
is built expressly for speed and
its lines are the handsomest of
any boat on these waters. It is
equipped with two six-cylinder
Winston engines of $50 horse
power each. These engines are
lOperated with gasoline or crude
oil and are expected to develop a
speed of from 27 to 80 miles an
hour and the boat is expected to
make the trip between this city
and Occur d'Alene inside of two
hours, including all stops.
The engines work entirely sep
arate Of each other and are ar
ranged so if anything happens to
one and it is put out of commits
sion the other will run the boat.
An electro lighting system has
been installed to furnish the
lights and a pumping plant to de-
liver water to all parts of the
boat.
Great pains have been taken to
make the boat as attractive as
POSSIBLE for the passengers

CHORAL CLUB TO
GIVE EASTER RECITAL

The Choral Club will give an
other of its delightful entertain
ments in the high school auditor
ium on Easter Sunday night.
Those who have heard this body
of local singers will be glad to
listen to them again and those
who have not heard them will be
given an opportunity to do so.
The descriptive part of the
programs takes in both morning
and evening of the first Easter
and is given to the audience by
solos, trios, quartets and by the
chorus. Much hard work has
been done by the members under
the direction of the leader of the
club, Mrs. H. r. Taylor, in prep
aration for the program. An
interesting number will be a
piano monologue by Miss Vera
Lewis, reader, assisted by Miss
Grace White, pianist.

length.
There are windows on both
sides of The two passages the
entire length so passengers can
look into the engine room and see
the engines at work. The en-
gine room and engines are paint
ed entirely in white, making a
fine setting for the brass trim
mings.
Both fore and aft of the two
cabins are the open decks, which
will be fitted up with awnings
and curtains. A railing extends
around the upper deck, which is
used for a promenade. This deck
hos no roof but the company is
planning on putting up a canvas
awning as a protection from the
sun, although this will not be
done for the present.
1t is planned to make two
trips a day between this city and
Occur d'Alene one each way be
fore and after noon. Only two
stops will be made on the run,
at Chatcolet and Harrison. IL is
probable the first trip will be
made as soon as the ice is out
of the river.
The new boat has not been
christened as yet Committees
from the chambers of commerce
of Spokane and Coeur d'Aleno
met Manager j. c.. White 2 week
ago, urging that the boat >b2
called Miss Spokane" and Miss
Alene" but he made no decision at
that time. It is thought that
the former name Miss Spokane
will ultimately be the choice but
il is not likely that any announce
ment will be made until it is
ready to make the initial trip.

No other person who sails the
clouds has attracted more notice
and interest than Ruth Law, who
will be the amusement headliner
at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus
during the last five days Of August.
She is to make two flights daily,
afternoon and night. The ascents
will be launched in front of the
grandstand, and at night Miss Laws
flying machine will be illuminated.
The effect on spectators as they
watch the machine looping-the-loop,
turning somersaults and doing
"death-drops" is startling in the ex-
treme.
Although defying eternity in many
ways in these exhibition flights, it is
nothing more than sport for Miss
Law, she says: "I have never been
afraid of the air." her story goes,
"though / have had some very mar
row escapes from death. have been
flying since July, 1912, and have ap-
pearsd in nearly every large city of
the United States. Next to flying,
I love animals, particularly dogs and
hoEses. Flying is not all pleasure.
Like all professions, one must work
hard to succeed. It's as necessary to
know your aeroplans and to be as
'HamiNar with your motor as you are
with your mirror and powder puff"

OHIO FAIR OF INES1IMABLE
VALUE TO FARMERS OF STATE
commemorative Greatest Institution TO Show Possibilities Of
Scientific Achievement Exposition Takes Place
During Last Five Days Of August

because the farmer ives led to think
that the pure bred stock proposition
was just a scheme Of the breeders to
unload their animal wares upon him.
What has changed this idea? The
average farmer says that the desire
for better cattle, better sheep, better
horses and better swine has been in
stilled through visits to the State
Fair.
Perhaps only a few acted on the
notion that they received while look
ing at the prize winners. Even so,
each maa who obtained better stock
was a missionary, and today one may
travel through districts where farm
ers have found that the pure bred an
imal is a dividend producer. The
entire state has not yet been con-
verted, but if progress continues at
the rate of the last two decades the
conversion will be pretty near uni
versal.
But the possibilities of scientific
achievement-which is the real lesson
of the fair-are not to be easily ex-
hausted.
With farm labor growing scarcer,
demand, more and more, will be for
more intensive cultivation of the soil
and, more and more, must the pro-
duction per acre be increased. If the
10-year average, which was once
higher than it is today, has again
been gaining slowly, that achieve
ment is largely traceable to the State
Fair, the college of agriculture and
the experiment farm, experts declare.
The state can provide the means
of education. 1t can assemble the
products. 1t can point to the better
way. 1t is asking little when it asks
all its citizens to come to the fair,
enjoy the time and profit by the les
sons that are to be learned.
