Duquette Killed by Train

Louis Duquette, aged about 55
years, was killed Christmas day in
Tunnel No. z, Great Northern rail
way. The body was found by Mike
Regain, G. N. trackwalker, and was
taken in charge by Coroner Gompf,
of Lincoln county, Mont.
Duquete was last seen by Tom
Houston, of Troy, as he was starting
to the Great Northern depot to catch
a freight train. 1t is not known
whether the deceased was struck by
a train in the tunnel or whether he
was knocked off the train when it
passed through the tunnel. The body
was found about 100 feet from the
east end of the tunnel and one hand
had been severed by the wheels of
the train.
Duquette had lived in the Leonia
district about eight years and was
one of the first locators of mining
claims in the Boulder district.
Algot Strom, a partner of Du-
Guette's in Boulder district mining
claims, and George Loughney, an old
time friend, went to Libby Wednes-
day to attend the funeral.

the Daily Critic. Mr.. Stookey has
opened offices in the building and
until his new stock of furniture and
household furniture arrives, he will
take special orders for his Gus

Mr.. Alexander has no definite
plans for rebuilding and it is not
probable that any of the burned Sec

Making Clothing for Children

Mrs l. Causton and Mrs Louis
zimmerman, in their spare moments
of the last few weeks, have been
preparing a box of clothing for the
Armenian and Belgian children and
they have made over from outgrown
clothes a great many petticoats and
all kinds of underwear for little boys
and girls and a number of suits for
little boys.
No doubt in many homes of Bon
ners Ferry and Boundary county
there are many articles of clothing
which have been outgrown. This
clothing can easily be made over into
fine warm garments for the little
sufferers of Armenia and Belgium
and other war-stricken countries.
People desiring to donate such cloth
ing should gather it up at once and
leave it at the Red Cross headquar-
ters any afternoon and it will be
taken in charge by Mrs. Causton or
Mrs. zimmerman.

Boy Scout Activities

Before Christmas the members of
the Boy Scout troop of this city
secured $40 through subscriptions and
sent the money to the Children's
Home at Lewiston to be used in
making this Christmas a happy one
for the orphans. Mr.. Chase, super
intendent of the home, this week
acknowledged receipt of the money
and extended his thanks to the Boy
Scout troop in behalf of the inmates
of the home. The letter was re-
ceived by Joe Burke.
Friday or Saturday of this week

ed notice from the government that
they will be expected to take a

swift a Co. Make Reply.

Swift q Co, have prepared re-
ply to the accusation OF the Federal
Trade Commission flied with n Sen.
ate subcommittee on Sept. 2S.
Tho company states that in IL
whole consideration Of profits, the
Federal Trade Commission falls tc
realize that the profits reported by
the packers are not profits that have
actually appeared In the form of
cash, but are largely book profits
tied up In inventory which will I'M
doubtedly disappear In large measure
when prices begin to go down. Even
II the war lasts five years longer
and the drop In prices does not come
until then, the loss Will DO lust as
real.
For the meat and by-products de-
partments, which are subject to the
0 per cent limitation OF profits, the
statement continues. the rate OF
turnover is approximately Q 10
times a year. ut must be remember
cd that part Of the steer consists OF
by-products which move slowly, that
someof the beef is cured and sailed,
and large portion OF pork products
consists OF cured products which
move very slowly and that even In
the sale Of strictly fresh meat II
takes some time for the money to
return to the company's Golfers az
ter the actual sale Is made.
THE commission says that tho
packers profit OF one-quarter OF a
cent per pound on beef amounts to
IS a ton as compared to only 90
cents per ton profit on coal. As q
matter OF fact an average quality
ton Of beef Is worth at present about
$500 whereas a ton OF anthracite
coal at tldewater is worth only
about 81. Compare a IS profit on a
$500 sale with 25 cent profit on
81 sale The beef profit is only
about 1 Ia per cent, coal profit
over az per cent.
"In 1917 Swift 6 Co. filed sO,-
100000 orders Of all products with
a total OF about 100000, 900 items, a
large partof which had to be weigh
ed and wrapped separately, while
coal is delivered In car lots or ton
lots"
