Protests Against New Ruling

The following is copy of letter
written this week by S. e. Henry to
Senator w. e. Borah in which Mr.
Henry makes a protest against GER
tain proposed legislation:
81 see that the United States court
at Minneapolis, on June 10th, SUSTAIN
ed McAdoo's order denying K. M.
Johnson, of Nebraska, a brakeman
from proceeding against the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy railroad for per-
sonal injury, thereby reversing a rul-
ing of Judge G. S. Jelley.
Mr.. McAdoo again asks Congress
to further extend the law to include
1919. Before this is done l hope you
can amend the law so as to force the
corporations to pay their honest debts
or give the citizen the right to go into
court and make them do so.
The people should have some rights
in this matter. The corporations OPP
Grating through this country, have
for years refused to fence their rail
roads in violation of state laws. The
railroads kill the farmers stock and
now Congress steps in and says he
cannot bring action against the rail
road to make it pay for stock killed
If this is democratic democracy, I dc
not want any of it. Please remedy
this evil. l know you will not sup.
port a law of this kind.

Capt -Spoerry on Winning Rifle Team

lover the Top" is the name of the
paper at Camp Lewis, Wn., published
by the 363rd Infantry and the edition
of Saturday, May 25th, contains an
an article on a recently held rifle
team shoot which was participated in
by the Seattle and Tacoma teams and
the team of the Dist Division. Capt.
G. w. Spoerry, of Boomers Ferry, was
one of the five members of the team
of the Dist Division. The members of
the team were selected from the best
shots in the cantonment at Camp
Lewis and are all officers of the 363rd
Infantry. The army team won the
match, the final scores being: 91st
Division team, 1,102; Tacoma and
Seattle rifle club, 1,079
All reports from Camp Lewis are to
the effect that Capt. Spoerry is maxi
ing good as an officer and Bonners
Ferry people have reason to be proud
of this former townsman. He was
recently transferred from the 363rd
Infantry to the 166th Depot Brigade.

Boundary Third On the List

According to recent report made
by the Idaho Defense Council this
state over-subscribed it's quota for
the Third Liberty Loan by about three
million dollars or SO percent more
than was asked of it.
1t is interesting to note that only
two counties in Idaho subscribed a
larger percentage over their quota
than Boundary county. Owyhee
county was given $4,000 to raise and
secured $106900. Clearwater county
with a quota of $4,000 subscribed a
total of $8S,35O while Boundary coun-
ty, with a quota of $4,000 subscribed
for $S1,050 worth of Liberty Loan
bonds. Boundary county may well
be proud of this record.

France is disclosing all her beauty.
The country is beautiful and ugly, old
dirty peasants, before their quaint old
masonry houses loading manure for
their fields, makes a picture in France
The beautiful stone roads running
everywhere, generally lined with two
rows of trees in the open country,
make travelling, whether by foot or by
auto, delightful. And now the fields
and forests are full of flowers. There
is a large amount of Scotch broom
here, brilliant yellow Towering shrub
that grows freely under the beech and
the fir trees.
Give my best regards to my Boomers
Ferry friends. l don't see much i'm

Dear Editor:
| want to thank you and the people
of Boomers Ferry for sending me your
paper, three copies of which | received
today. 1t is like getting letter from
home
The last of this month we will have
been here six months and will get our
first service chevrons. 1t doesn't seem
like we have been here that long but
we are kept very busy and the time
passes fast. We are hard at it every
day and night doing what we can to
win the war.
1t is getting very warm here and /
guess we are in for a hot summer
They say the people do not work here
in the middle of the day during the
summer season. We had a little
thunder storm this afternoon and il
is raining tonight.
We have mess hall built and have
dishes and all we have to do is to &c
in and sit down and go to eating just
like you do at home.
The Knights of Columbus sent us
some books and magazines and we
have plenty of reading matter. We
have a base ball and gloves and are
going to play a game with the Isl
Battalion on May 30th.
The best thing you can do to cheer
up the. boys over here is to write let
ters not only from home, but anyone
who cares to write.

CITY OF QUEER CONTRASTS
Nome, Desoiate In Winter, 10 Fever
ishiy Lively During the Short
Months Of Summer.

Ships approaching the coast Of Alas
ka watch eagerly for the first glimpse
of break In the low horizon line, and
MS the faint silhouette Of city Is
caught by the spy glass word goes
round that Nome Is in sight. The
square outlines grow steadily palmer
and broader. Unmindful of the heavy
waves that crash SO dangerously near
its doors the city is reaching out to
the very waters edge to greet the in
coming ship. A bobbing launch comes
out to meet the ship and bring In the
passengers to the shore.
The gold seekers built Nome In the
rush Of 1898, and the gold seekers still
add their quota to Its population. They
have made 1t city of contrasts-of
DESTINATIONS wealth and hopeless de-
sires. Where they camped on the
beach and built wooden huts and sa-
looms the city has grown up. When
more space was needed, 1t spread its
houses along the beach in long un-
even rows.
From November to June 1t Is frozen
into a dull apathy from which 1t
rouses to attend theaters, dances, and
other social frivolities which make
the winter tOlerable. Ice bound and
dark the winter may be, with only
three or four hours Of pale sunlight a
day, but the popular Idea Of the wilds
Of Nome is an interesting myth. Eiec-
trio lights, telephones, department
stores, banks, hotels-Nome has all Of
these perquisites Of modern civilian
tion.
When the sua begins to shine stead
lily and the fresh surf pounds on the
beach, Nome awakes and the summer
residents VINO have gone ''outside" re-
turn. The population Is practically
doubled. Nome spends its summer
months In wildly rushing about to
make up for the enforced dullness of
the frozen winter.

STRANGE LAWS IN TURKEY
Penalty for Threatening Heavier Than
II You Had struck-Lawyer
Defends Idea.

In Turkey, II you stole horse 1t
entailed from one to three years i'm
prisonment; II you stole sheep you
were liable to from three to seven
years. While you are figuring at this
I will give you another instance of
subtle Jurisprudence. John Van Ess
writes in Asia. If drew dagger
on you and stabbed you seriously. but
you recovered, was liable to prison
from one to three years. II, on the
other hand, I drew a dagger on you
but did not touch you I might be i'm
prisoned anywhere from three to seven
years.
Yusuf Effendi, leading lawyer, was
much disguised with my obtuseness
when questioned the eQuitableness Of
these penalties.
"Why." said he, at Is as plain as
day. II you go to steal horse the
suppOsition is you purpose to escape
on the horses back, but II you go to
steal a sheep, inasmuch as you In the
nature of the case cannot ride away
on the sleeps back, it is fair to sup
pose that you come armed and ready
to resist. Therefore, If you steal a
sheep you are the more guilty, In in
tent ut least, and deserve the greater
penalty. And again, If I draw dag
ger on you and though I wound you
seriously, yet you do not die, the result
is known-namely, bodily injury. But
II draw dagger on you, even though
do not touch you, yet I might have
killed you. and therefore also in that
case deserve the greater penalty"

WOUNDS STITCHED BY ANTS
Ingenious Operation That Is q Feature
Of Surgical Work Among tho
Arabs Today.

The mandibles OF ants and Of sew
eral cOleopterous insects, Scarites In
particular, have long been employed
in Asintic surgery. This usage is of
the most ancient date with the sur
geons Of Indln and Is perpetunted in
our day in Algeria by the Arab opera
tors and to some extent by the Turks
In Asia and the Greek BARRIERS of
Syria.
According to an English entomo-
logical Journal, the barber presses
upon the edge of the cut with the
fingers of the left hand and applies
each ant by means of forceps held
In the right hand. The mandlbles
Of the ant are widely opened, the ami
NAL being in the defensive attitude,
and as the insect Is gradually brought
near the wound 1t seizes the pro-
1ecting surface and Immediately forces
its mandibles through the flesh, and
remains in this attitude, pressing the
one mandible against the other with
force and consequently holds the two
edges together. Then the barber sep
arates the head from the thorax with
a snip Of the scissors, and the head
with the mandibles remaining in place
continues Its function while the thorax
and abdomen fall to the ground.
The same operation Is repeated with
other ants until at times there
may be dozen pairs Of mandibles
placed at regular intervals, so that
through its whole length the skin is
united by this very ingenious proce-
dure. The heads are allowed to re-
main few days. after which. since
the healing has been effected. they are
loosened and having performed their
office are henceforth useless.
