eminent, and one song which was
sung contained the words, ITO hill
with the French" and one man added,
'Hurrah for the Germans" in this
song.
That the l. w. W. stated that the
lumbermen and loggers' legion was
organized by the millmen and that
said organization did not support the
government and its organization was
not aided by the government.
w. G. McNaughton, general mana
ger of the Inland Empire Paper COM
pany, gave an interview to the Spokes-
man-Review for Saturdays paper in
which he said: Il don't know these
men, Martin and Morgan. There may
be few l. W. w. in the camp but they
have not been perniciously active
since last May, when a man, Sears,
dropped in. He left when his identity
became known. 1t is absurd to say
that the company opposes the organi-
zation of the lumbermen and loggers'
legion. Like every loyal employer, we
want men who are patriotic.
Manager McNaughton said that in
the reent Liberty Loan drive, 80 to 80
of the So men purchased bonds and tina
in the Red Cross drive, 76 out of So
men, pledged a days wages to the
cause. McNaughton told that U. S.
Crowder had advised him of reports
that the camp was full of l. w. w.
and wanted to have the sheriff raid it.
McNaughton went on to state that:
81 suggested to him that it would be
wiser to substantiate the reports first
instead of taking drastic action. l
told him that | had expected the gov
eminent representatives to visit the
camp to organize the lumbermen and
| loggers' legion, but for some reason
they never visited our camp. | sug-
gested that the men be approached for
contributions to the patriotic funds and
| if any refused, we would fire them.
"Mr. Treado, woods foreman, tells
me there are some, l. w. w. in the
camp in all probability, but there is
no propaganda. 1t is possible few
of them have taken it upon themselves
to terrorize strange laborers, but the
company knows nothing of it. Nc
Donald is a sort of straw boss but he
is an intelligent chap and we regard
him as safe and sane. l do not believe
he ever made a statement that we
were opposed to the loyal legion. If
he did, he was wrong.
"It is not possible that any men
were forced to sleep in bunkho~ses
without stoves. All our bunkhouses
are equipped alike and all of them
have stoves.

The workingmen contributed about

Mr.. Archer, of the Meadow Creek
Lumber Company, contributed a car

Every business house in Bonners
Ferry was delegated to solicit in this

ROB MEN ON
FREIGHT CAR
JOHN MACK AND PAUL BRADSHAW
ROBBED THURSDAY BY TWO
H0LD-UP ARTISTS
WERE BOUND AND GAGGED
One of the Robbers Captured BY
j. b. BrOdy

TWO lumber workers, John Mack
and Paul Bradshaw, were victims of
a couple of daring holdup artists last
Thursday, the robbers taking their
money while they were on a east
bound Great Northern freight train and
then compelling them, at the point of
guns, to get off the freight and go into
nearby woods where they were divest-
ed of their clothes. One of the rob-
bers, giving his name as Dan McIn-
tosh, was captured by j. B. Brody.
Mack's home is at Standpoint, while
Bradshaw lives here and is one of the
men subject to call in future drafts.
The two robbers found Mack and
Bradshaw in a gondola car. Guns
were drawn and the men told to dig
up. The robbers secured some SIT
in currency and silver. The freight
train slowed up near the Kitchen and
Kelly camp siding and Mack and
Bradshaw were ordered to get out of
the car and go into the woods. Here
the robbers made Bradshaw take off his
good clothes. They left him with his
overalls and jumper. Then Mack
and Bradshaw were gagged, bound and
tied to trees considerably apart from
each other. After some time Mack
was able to break his bonds and he
hurried to the nearest house which
happened to be j. b. Brody's. Mr..
Brody telephoned the sheriffs office
and then with a son of Henry Wendell,
started out to look for the robbers.
In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Bangs
had arrived and he went with Mack to
look for Bradshaw whom they found
soon and released. Brody had not
gone far when he saw the two men
answering the description of the rob-
bers. He called to them to throw up
their hands. One pulled his gun and
then Brody shot. The fellow with
the gun turned and Owed into the
brush. Mr.. Brody believes that he
shot the fellow in the arm. The
other fellow, Mcintosh, was taken in
charge by Brody and later turned ov-
er to the sheriff.
Sheriff Cunning and his deputies
organized a large posse to hunt for
McIntosh's pardner. Deputy Fry saw
a man who answered the description
of the one wanted and ordered him
halt. The man kept on going and
Fry fired two shots at him with no
effect.
Mcintosh was given preliminary
hearing before Probate Judge Hen
derson Friday and was bound over to
the district court on the charge of
robbery. Mcintosh tells that he
came from Spokane and that he does
not know his pardner's name

NOW DEVELOP GOLD PROPERTY
Bethlehem Gold Mines, Ltd, Have a
Fine Group of Claims

The Bethlehem Gold Mines, Limited,
with properties six miles east of Cope
land, consisting of seven claims, gives
promise of soon becoming one of the
rich producing properties of Boundary
county. A crew of five men are now
employed doing development work
and more men will be put on in the

gold but the management expects that
with depth a sulphide ore will be en-
countered The company has ship
ped one car of ore from which the re-
turns were most satisfactory. A num-
Der of new buildings are now being
constructed on the property mad many
permanent improvements are being
planned.

property and c. w. Buckley is the su-
perintendent. Most of the officers
and stockholders are Spokane men,
Harry Dudman being president and

TRY TO DISCREDIT SCHOOL
TRUSTEES IN NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Supt. Kent at a hastily called or Sc
cret meeting as the Times would have
the public believe. Mr.. Kent's APP
plication was sent in a regular man
ner from Ritzville. He heard that
there was to be vacancy in Boomers
Ferry in the uperintendent's office
through a teachers agency where
Supt. Collins had been trying to Sc
cure another location for some months
previously. With his application he
sent dozen or more recommended
tons from the members of the boards
of schools where he had taught the
past 16 years. Other recommends
tons were from state superintendent
of schools, county superintendent of
schools, public instructors and men of
standing as educators After Supt
Kent was elected the school board here
received word from one of the lead
ing educators of the northwest, at
Seattle, congratulating them upon Sc
curing the services of Supt. Kent.
What is there then in the matter of
the election of Supt. Kent by the school
trustees that the editor of the Times
may call "injudicious"? What act of
the school board calls forth from the
Times the necessity of questioning the
integrity or ability of the school board?
Why did the Times insinuate that there
was something wrong about the re-
cent purchase of some sewing ma
chimes? Why did the Times malic-
iously fabricate the story about the
school printing? If the motive of the
Times has been an honest one, why
did it resort to falsifications and in
situations? What did the Times try
to insinuate when it said that the
school board cannot deny that in its
ambition to improve the schools that
it raised the salary of the superintend-
ent from $500 to $2100 per year
neither can it deny that in casting "a
bout for new superintendent it hit
upon a man who at the time was re-
ceiving $125 per month, or sos less
per month than the salary which the
board has agreed to pay?"
The Herald has entered into this
discussion of the school matters with
no axe to grind It's articles have
been unsolicited from any source and
it can conscientlously say that it has
and is prepared to present any phase
of the matter with entire impartial
ity. Can the Times say as much?

SOLDIER BOY SENDS So
TO HELP RED CROSS

Last week the daily newspapers
published a number of dispatches
telling of what the men in the
army and navy were doing to as
sist the Red Cross drive, The
men in the training camps APP
preciate what the Red Cross is
doing for their comrades overseas
and what it will do for them
when they are in the fighting
lines and they are all anxious to
do their bit.
received a letter from a Bound
airy county boy, w. w. Otis, who
enlisted several months ago in
the army and who is now work
ing in the woods near Blind
Slough, Ore, for the government,
in which he enclosed $500 for
the Red Cross drive in this coun-
ty. Otis writes as follows: LAS
the Red Cross drive will soon be
over all the boys in my squadron
decided that each would send five
dollars to their home Red Cross
organization so it is up to me to
send my five dollars to Boundary
county Here's hoping you folks
go above the limit. Whenever
you are having a money drive let
me know for l will always give a
five" to help out. l have two
Liberty Loan bonds, so you see
/ am doing all l can"
Here is an example that should
put to shame many of our home
folks. Otis has enlisted in the
army, is ready to go to France
when the government sends him
and is also ready TO give his mon
ey to help win the war. Otis is
a real patriot. He is offering
both his life and his money. We,
who stay at home,are doing but
little for the cause in loaning our
money for Liberty Bonds and
giving our donations to the Red
Cross.

Disastrous Fire at EastpOrt

A fire of unknown origin destroyed
the International hotel at Eastport
early Sunday morning. The loss is
estimated at between $4,000 and $4,000
and is partially covered by insurance.
The property is owned by H. l.. Saw
yer who has conducted the Interna-
tional hotel for a number of years.
The fire was discovered at fifteen
minutes till one o'clock Sunday morn
ing and every effort was made to
save the hotel and contents but the
fire had gained too much Roadway.

the basement of the hotel and there
is IA report that there was a sort of an
explosion heard awhile before the fire
was discovered.
The International hotel at Eastport
was model, modern small town hotel
and Mr.. Sawyer is said to have been

the summer months when there is
a great deal of tourist travel.
