Deaf Man Tells Of Sensations He Elk

Recital.

New York.-That a highly sensi.

music through his feet was demon,
strated at the last piano recital given
recently by Josef Hoffman, here.
Jean Paul Gruet, u young deaf
man, gave this impression of the re,

the floor and again in the unsupport-
ed lighter parts of the body, such as
the arms and finger tips. The mus,
Giles in the upper part of the lower
leg also vibrated.
"The lower tones of the piano, when
loudly and quickly played, may be
experienced inwardly, causing an ex.
citing sensation. Such feeling seems
to thrill one and cause a Quickenins

B. c., is determined to keen before
the officials of Canada the Kootenav

cent meeting of the Board of Trade

sentatlves OF Idaho in congress in re-
gard TO the drainage question and in
response to President James request
senator Borah sent a telegram here
IN which he stated that he believed
IN the. feasibility of the drainage
plans Tor the valley and would h
tne proposition in every manner pos
slble. This telegram was forwarded
on to Ottawa.
The Creston Review has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the recla-
nation plans of the Creston Board of
Trade:
For the reclamation committee
Chairman Constable outlined several
moves that were being inaugurated
to keep this project prominently be-
lore all parties interested, more es-
peclally returned soldiers organiza-
tons, to the end that Kootenay Flats
may be developed as soldiers col
ony farm. Correspondence to hand
showed that Hon. John Oliver had
the proposition under very serious
consideration, and there is every in
dication that Victoria will be busy
finishing up survey and engineering
work this season. To further prose-
cute reclamation work a descriptive
booklet is now in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for judic-
ious distribution shortly"
One of the latest addressograph
machines made has been installed at
the First National Bank With the
new machine envelopes, papers, and
all kinds of index cards may be
stamped with names and addresses

The members of the Boomers Ferry
Civic Club are planning to take up
with the commercial club members
very soon a plan to install a drink
ing fountain on one of the corners
of Main and Bonner streets. The
Civic League members have on hand
something over $40 to use for this
purpose and propose to use this
money to buy fountain if the mem

agree to pay installing expenses. AT
the meeting of the club Tuesday
night President James appointed a
committee composed of Messrs. Nc
Intyre- and King to investigate the
costs of installation.
1t was also suggested that the
commercial club should see to it thai
a watering trough be put in near the
public hitching racks on Bonner
street. This matter will be attended
to in the near future.

and that it is usually about 55 below

EXPERIMENTS WITH RUSH HAY
A. Hickman Finds that Rush Hay
Will Not Make Ensilage.

During the past few weeks it has
been suggested to the Herald from a
number of sources that it would be
a good idea to try making silage
out of rush hay and many farmers
of this district have been considering
making the experiment.
This week while talking with A.
Kloclmann, president of the Idaho
Continental Mining Company. and
with his brother, Carl Klockmann.
one of the largest owners of the
county of Kootenai Valley land, he
happened to mention to the Herald
representative that he had tried to
make ensilage out of rush hay but
that the experiment had been a fail
ure.
Mr.. Hickman put 100 tons of
rush hay into a silo built for the
purpose. He inquired of agricultural
experts for all information obtain
able to make the experiment sue
cess but the silage spoiled and is not
fit for feed.
Mr.. Hickman states that he is
certain that rush hay could be mixed
with other ensilage and that it would
keep. The rush hay, he claims, is too
porous and spongy and will not pack
sufficiently to make silage, even if it
is cut very fine and is packed as
tight as possible. With so many
air cells it is not possible to pre-
vent the rush hay ensilage from fer
menting too much and eventually
rotting.
Mr.. Klockmann's experiment will
be of value to all the farmers of the
valley who may have contemplated
trying to make ensilage of rush hay.

Would Divert Auto Tourists

VIM. Warwick will address the
members of the commercial club at
the next regular meeting to be held
next Tuesday night, upon ways and
means of attracting auto tourists to
Boomers Ferry for stops of a day
to three days. He has recently opened
up an auto shop on Main street and
at the meeting of the commercial
club last Tuesday gave short sketch
es of a number of plans whereby
Boomers Ferry could secure and reap
the benefits of tourist patronage.
Warwick is an interesting talker
and as he has Travelled over all parts
of the world and toured all of the
main auto roads of the United States
he has gathered many ideas, both
original and otherwise, which, if put
into practice, would undoubtedly
prove of value to this community.
