to the Red Cross in the drive which
came to a close last Wednesday.
This is over $1,000 more than the
quota given Boundary county. The
record is one which should be source
of qualification to the county chair
man, his executive and drive commit
tees and every person who assisted in
or contributed to the drive.

ASK FEDERAL
INVESTIGATION
COMPLAINT MADE THAT L. w. w.
ARE ACTIVE AT INLAND EN-
PRE- PAPER CAMP
TWO MEN MAKE AFFIDAVITS
Say That Straw Boss Is Booster for
the |. w. w.

For some time past reports have
been coming to local authorities of the
number of l. w. w. men and their
activities at the camp of the Inland
Paper Company at Addie. Last We'd
nesday a couple of laborers, j. L..
Martin and j. M. Morgan, came here
from the camp and reported that they
had been run out of the camp by the
/. w. w. They told their story to
County Attorney o. c. Wilson and to
Rev. U. S. Crowder of the Boundary
county defense council and it was
deemed advisable to have the matter
Investigated by the federal grand jury.
Accordingly, Attorney Wilson obtained
affidavits from Martin and Morgan and
sent them to U. S. District Attorney
j. l.. McClear at Couer d Alene for
his investigation. The affidavits con-
tanned the following allegations:
That one Mcdonald, a straw boss at
the logging camp of the Inland Empire
Paper company, in Boundary county,
told Martin and Morgan that no man
belonging to the lumbermen and log
gers legion would be allowed to work
in that camp.
That 95 per cent of the men working
in the camp are l. w. W., and that
there is an l. w. W. delegate at said
camp.
That they were put in a clubhouse
without a stove and were informed by
the l. W. w. that no members of the
lumbermen and loggers legion stayed
long in that camp.
That at night l. w. w. talk was con-
tinous and |. w. w. songs were sung.
That Mcdonald, the straw boss, said
that when member of the lumbermen
and loggers' legion signed the pledge
card he subscribed a dollar a week for
the use of blankets and that nine had
come to the camp to work but none of
them stayed.
That Mcdonald stated that the lum-
bermen and loggers' legion men de-
sired to organize at the camp and that
the Inland Empire Paper company
would not allow them to organize.
On account of the treatment given
men who are not l. w. W., it is prac-
tically impossible for man who is
not an l. w. w. to work at the logging
camp and especially for those belong
ing to the lumbermen and loggerS'
legion.
On account of the disagreeable con
ditions at the camp j. M. Morgan and
d. L. MdTllH Qulle WOrh IneTe Oh May
2Sth, they depose.
]. nj. Morgan, in his deposition also
said: That Mcdonald, the straw boss
of the camp, told him that no member
of the lumbermen and lCggers' loyal
legion could work in that camp.
That the men were continuously
casting slurs and making insulting re-
marks about the lumbermen and log
gers legion.
That at night l. w. w. talk was con-
tinuous and l. w. w. songs were sung
which were reflections upon the gov

Memorial Day was fittingly observed
in Boomers Ferry Thursday. Sever
al hundred people gathered at the G..
N. depot at $40 a. m. to say goodby
to the members of the Boundary coun-
ty contingent leaving for Camp Lewis,
In the afternoon, U. S. Crowder acting
as the marshall of the day, many citi-
zens visited the cemetery and decor
ated the graves of departed friends or
relatives. 1t was not possible to
give the band concert in the evening
on account of so many of the members
of the organization being out of town
The meeting at the K p. hall was at
tended by a crowd of several hundred
people who heard Sergeant Jos. Cross,
a returned Canadian soldier and now
an attachee of the British Canadian
recruiting station of Spokane, tell of
his experiences in the great war now
being carried on in Europe and in
which he was a participant for nearly
three years. Serg. Cross enlisted
with the LIST Canadian Battalion on
August 5th, 1914, the day war was de-
clared and went to France as soon as
the men of the contingent were suf-
ficiently trained. He participated in
the battles of Ypres and Festubert
and was wounded at Givinchy in June,
1915. Upon recovery he took part
in trench fighting at Pleogstreet and
in 1916 again fought in another battle
at Ypres. He was with his regiment
on the Somme where several months
of hard fighting was experienced.
He saw service at Lens, helped to
capture Vimy Ridge, fought at Fres-
noy and at Hill 20. He was wound
ed by a bomb in the battle of Pasch-
endaele and spent some time in the
hospitals of France and England, af-
ter which he was returned to Canada
as unfit for further active war SER
vice.
Sergeant Cross talk was most in
teresting He told of the privations
and hardships endured by the soldiers
in 1914 and 1915; of days spent in the
cold and wet; OF how France and
Belgium have been devastated; of the
first gas attacks and how the Allies
invented protection for the men and
