HOME TEAM IS
THE WINNER

The basketball game Friday night
at the high school gymnasium be-
tween the high school teams of Bon
ners Ferry and Standpoint, resulted
in a score of % to 2 in favor of the
home team. The game was one-sided
and from the start it was easily
seen that the visitors had no chance
to win but the basketball fans were
well pleased with the exhibition and
after the first half the interest cen
tered upon whether or not Boomers
Ferry would finish the game with
out allowing the Standpoint bunch
to get a single field basket. This
Standpoint gaining her two points Dy
throwing foul baskets.
Mcnamara was the star point get
ter for the home team, securing five
field baskets. Myers threw three
Gleed threw two and Wallace threw
one field basket. Luse and Wallace,
guards. had but little chance at the
basket as they obeyed their instruc-
tions from Coach Voshmik and re-
manned at their stations to keen
Standpoint from maxine a basket.
Mcnamara, Gleed and Myers played
a fast game, made quick, accurate
passes and missed but comparatively
few free chances at the BASKET. What
plays of their opponents they were
unable to break up were safely hand
led by Guards Wallace and Luse.
Jack Mcnamara refereed the game
to the entire satisfaction of all.
The next game will probably be
played here rext SATURDAY. night at
the gymnasium with the high school
team of Columbia Falls, Mont The
Columbia Falls team is said to be
a crack aggregation and the local
boys will not have an easy time of
winning the game.
In a couple of weeks the home boys
expect to make a trip to Standpoint
and Newport to play the teams OF
those cities. Later in the season
return games will be played with
Libby, Columbia Falls and possibly
Kalispell.
The home team this year is as fast
as the teams of any of pre-
vious years. The members
of the team are not as heavy
as those of other years but they are
making up for lack of weight by
J fast and heady playing and Coacf

leaders in medicine, surgery, bacter-
iology, typhus, house building and
construction. They have spent S21,-
100000 and have now appropriated
$21 100000. They are in all the allied
countries at war. You often hear
this question asked "What do they
do?" The first obligation he saws
is to make every possible provision
for our army and navy boys. They
asked General Pershing when he ar
rived in France, what could they do
for him. He said: eff you want to
help me, back up the French. They
have been fighting three years and
if not taken care of, nobody knows
what will become of them. Every
French soldier goes into the trench
for four months then he gets 10 days
leave. When he comes out his clothes
are covered with vermin, and are
torn; his shoes are out Of repair and
his spirits are low. He comes out
to GO home, but his home has been
swept away; his mother, or his wife,
or his children are gone, he does not
know where. He is met by a Red
Cross member and is taken to the
headquarters; his clothes are steri-
lied and mended bath, shave and
haircut is given him; he takes a rest,
then he is taken to the place where
his home was and he finds a small
house for him, he finds his mother,
or wife, or children whom you have
found for him; they have food, cloth
ing, and fuel. In few days he goes
back to the trench. This has the
same effect on the French soldier
that it would have on you; he says,
"thank God, the Americans are here;
they will take care of my family and
now l have something to live for and
will fight as long as | live"
He also says: "The Red Gross

WALK-OUT AT
CAMP NO. II

Last Wednesday, the first day Of
the going into effect of the eight
hour day in the camps of the Bon
ners Ferry Lumber Company, some
40 members of the l. w. W. and
sympathizers, walked out and left
the camp.
New men were secured at once u
replace the l. w. w. workers and
work is progressing at the camp as
well as could be expected considering
weather conditions. The new men
were secured from the dry farming
district in Montana.
The walkout of last Wednesday
came about because the foreman Of
the camp insisted up)n the men put
ting in a full eight hour day while
the men wanted to SO to and from
their work on the company'S time.
The action of the |. W. VS. at
Camp II is another proof that the or
ganization can never be satisfied.
Last year they demanded better sani-
tary conditions in the camps and an

progress of logging operations. They
refuse to give an honest days labor
and are attempting to hinder work
everywhere by walking out on the
slightest pretext.
The |. w. w. organization teaches
that its members must not be salts
fled until they have control of Nil
industries; until capital and all bust
ness organizations are overthrown.
But l.. w. Wism has no definite
theory of what is to take place when
this realization is reached. 1t is a
dangerous doctrine and one upon
which the man with home, family
and ambitions, should reflect. In
other districts of Idaho the citizens
are realizing that the success of the
l. w. w. is bound to spell disaster.
They are Kidding their towns of the
element which wants as its members
only men who have no home, no kin,
no ties of friendship; who set no
limit upon the value of their labor
and have nothing to offer should
they accomplish their desire of over
throwing all present existing organi-
cations for the conduct Of business.
1t is a question for the government
to handle and in the near future ii
the menace continues to grow.

PETITION FOR COUNTY AGENT
County Commissioners Will Decide
Upon Matter Next Monday.

There has been considerable talk
in the county the past few weeks
concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of having
county agent. Farmers of the coun-
ty who desire to have a county agent
hired have been advising with the
board of county commissioners and
t. J Jones recently sent out petit
lions to various parts of the county
which are to be signed and will be
acted upon by the commissioners at
the next regular meeting. 1t is I'M
derstood that Commissioner Fitzpat-
rick does not believe it wise to hire
county agent at this time; that
Commissioner Lunden is opposite in
his beliefs and that Commissioner
Shively is on the fence.
A great many farmers want to see
a county agent appointed and there
are also a number who do not favor
the proposition.
Under the present plan of secur-
ing county agents the state ana gov
eminent appropriate 81 900 and
the county $4,000 of the $4,000
which is necessary for the sal
airy and expenses of county
agent.
Assistant County Agent Leader, G..
L. Morrison, of Boise, was in the city
the first of last week in the effort
to assist in getting a county agent
appointed here by February LIST.
Those supporting the county agent
proposition state that the expense
of hiring a county agent would fall
very lightly upon the average tax
payer as more than half of the taxes
are paid by the railway companies
and the Bonners Ferry Lumber com
pany and both these companies are
in favor of having county agents
hired.

CHANGE FREIGHT CREWS HERE
Bonners Ferry Becoming More of
Terminal Point on G.. n. Ry.


On the Great Northern railway an
order has been issued providing for
the using of oil burning freight
engines on all through freight trains
between Boomers Ferry and Spokane.
Freight from the east will be
hauled from Troy to Bonners Ferry
by coal burning engines and engines
will be changed in Bonners Ferry.
This plan makes Boomers Ferry a
sort CT terminal for through freight
crews. 1t is only a temporary plan
now but Station Agent Ashby states
that if it works out all right it will
likely become a permanent order.
Heretofore the freight trains have
been hauled by the No. 5000 class
coal burning engines. Under the
new order the No. 1000 class oil
burners, double compound engines
will be used.
On account of putting on the
oil burning engines between here
and Spokane the Great Northern is
installing oil pumps and a tank. A
crew arrived here Friday to put in
this outfit.
Engineers of the Great Northern
recently recommended that a three
stall roundhouse be constructed in
the yards here but it is not known
yet whether or not the recommen-
dation will be approved.
