NO ADDITIONAL LAND OPEN
IN COLVILLE RESERVATION

That the reclassification of Colville
reservation land does not mean that
any land not now open to public en-
try will be opened, was a statement
made by United States Registrar of
Lands j. L. Wiley.
Since the announcement of the plac-
ing of the Colville land under the graz
ing act, the land office has been be-
sieged with inquiries from people
who were under the impression that
all of the reservation land is to be
thrown open. 1t simply meant that
the land before open for entry would
be placed under the grazing act which
permits a settler to take $40 acres
instead of 100 or 800.
Under the grazing act the settler
must improve his property at least
$1.25 per acre per year on the ground
exclusive Of his residence. These i'm
provements may consist of building
or development such as would equip
the land for stock purposes.

ALL WAR WORKERS MEET
IN SPOKANE NEXT WEEK

A general conference of war work
ers of eastern Washington has been
called under the auspices of the State
Council Of Defense to be held at Spo-
kane next Monday and Tuesday.
Every organization on the east side
of the mountains which is taking any
part in war activities is asked to send
delegates to the meetings. There is
no limit to the number of delegates
and there is to be no red tape. The
prime purpose is to discuss the var
ious problems incident to war activi-
ties, hear addresses by speakers of
national prominence sent here espe-
cially for this occasion, and adopt such
plans for general furtherance of the
several campaigns as the conference
deems worthy.
The sessions will commence Mon
day at $3.50 in the convention room of
the Davenport hotel. A general
luncheon will follow. The afternoon
will be given over to the general con-
ference. In the evening public mass
meeting will be held at the armory.
Tuesday will open the sectional
meetings and at the same time the
commercial bodies will hold their con-
vention. A patriotic luncheon will be
held at the chamber Of commerce with
all visitors as guests Of honor. The
concluding session of the general con-
ference will be held in the afternoon.
Four noted speakers have been Sc
cured. They will make addresses at
the mass meeting and also at the var
ious sectional assemblies. They are
George B. Chandler and James A. B.
Sherer of New York, representing the
National Council of Defense; Lieuten-
ant Paul Perigord, special represen-
tative of the French government who
has seen three years of active service,
and Guy Stanton Ford, of Washington,
d. c., representating the national
committee on public information.

DOWN TO 700 FOOT LEVEL
AT ELECTRIC POINT MINE

Activities at the Electric Point mine
at Leadpoint are moving along in fine
shape this summer, according to re-
ports coming from that section. The
number of men now employed is about
80. Formerly there were engaged in
the operation of the mine about twice
this number, but the installation, from
time to time, of economical machinery
units has gradually reduced the man.
ual force.
The single compartment shaft from
which most of the exploration has
been made on the immense ore de-
posit is now down to the 700 foot level
where the lead carbonates are more
abundant and richer than on the sur
face. An opening will be made later
ally to the surface from the bottom of
the main shaft and a new system of
operations inaugurated in this ore
zone.
At present sixteen teams are haul
ing ore to Boundary. On account of
the bad conditions of the roads only
about a car load Of the mine product
is being shipped to the smelter. When
the roads harden after the rainy sea-
son trucks will be employed with
greater carriage capacity. At present
two and one half miles of aerial grav-
ity tramway is being constructed ex-
tending from the lower level of the
mine to the bunkers at Leadpoint.
From Leadpoint railway line is
being surveyed over a distance of
about 8 miles down the Deep creek
valley to Boundary to connect with the
Great Northern. This line, however,
it is said, may not, on account of in
dustrial conditions affecting the manu-
facture and sale of railway trackage
and equipment, be constructed this
year, but the right of way will be Sc
cured and arrangements made for the
work to be done as early next year
as conditions will permit.

UNITED SPIRIT OF ALLIES
SHOWN BY GIRL WRITER

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.--A letter from A
sixteen-year-old French girl to DR.
John Finley. of this city, who Is &C.
tive In Red Cross work. contains a
vision of the meaning of the great
war. In part she says:
ut was only n little river, almost
brook, called the User, and the
birds could fly over It with one sweep
OF their wings. And on the two banks
there were millions of men, eye to
eye. But the distance which sepa
rated them was greater than the stars
in the sky; it was the distance which
separates from right and justice.
'"The ocean is so vast that the sea
gulls do not dare to cross It, During
seven days and seven nights the great
steamships of America, going at full
speed, drive through the deep waters
before the lighthouses of France come
into view; but from one side to the
other hearts are touching"
