RED CROSS OF WALLACE
WILL CONVERT WASTE
MATERIAL INTO CASH.

Salvage is the art of turning
into money articles that have been
discarded as useless" Shoshone
chapter of the Red Cross proposes
to practice this art in a manner
that will result in turning many
dollars into the treasury of the or
ganization and thereby materially
aid in the war work that is taxing
the energies of its members. The
American people have so long been
accustomed to throwing waste,
worn out and useless articles into
the scrap heap or the fire that they
are slow in comprehending that
most of these articles have real
cash value that justities saving
them even in normal times. The
war has drawn special attention to
this enormous waste and the Red
Cross all over the country has un-
dertaken to save this loss and
utilize the cash proceeds in carry
ing on the merciful work of the
organization. A committee of en-
ergetic workers, of which Mrs,
Harry McAllister is chairman, has
been appointed by the local chapter
of the Red Cross, to take charge of
the salvage work. which has been
taken up with an enthusiasm that
should enlist the cooperation of
every citizen. Among the most
common articles and material
d which are generally thrown away
verted into cash by the Red Cross
are old newspapers, bottles, tin foil,
lead foil, IRON, copper brass, alum
mum, old gloves. All of these and
many other articles apparently
worthless have a commercial value
and are desired by the Red Cross.
The committee has secured the use
of the Barracks for storage pur-
poses and a representative will be
there at the following hours to re-
ceive contributions: Monday from |
to $3.50 D. m,, Wednesdays from 9
a. m. until | p. m, Fridays from
7 to 9 p. nm. For further informa-
ton regarding salvage and for the
delivery of goods at hours other
than those named, call Mrs. Harry
McAllister, chairman, phone 556W.

What Popular Mechanics Says of
Wallace in July Issue of Magazine

The people of Wallace will hardly
regard the limited reference to this
city in the July issue of Popular Mech
anics as an adequate redress for the
libelous article directed at this city
published by the same magazine in the
April number The letter from the
editor which was recently published in
the Miner, in which he admitted that
great wrong had been done to the
PEOPLE of Wallace, indicated that the
July issue of his magazine would right
the wrong and do full justice to this
city 1t was with considerable inter-
est, therefore, that the appearance of
the July number was awaited. One
page is devoted to this city, bearing
the heading Spirit of Progress Char
acterizes Wallace, Idaho" Across the
top of the page is a view of the City
park and across the bottom is view
Of west Cedar street with the Wallace
hospital as the center. Between the
two views the editor passes few
compliments to the people here be-
cause the city was described some
what inaccurately" in the April Is
sue. Recalling that Wallace was des-
cribed as having a "dngy, dirty and
tumbledown appearance" the express
sion Somewhat inaccurately" indi-
Gates that the editor still believes
there was a large element of truth in
the slanderous production of the mag
azines travelling editor. However, as
no good can come from further dis
cussion, the Miner closes the case by
reproducing the comments contained
in the July issue of Popular Mech
anics.

Wallace.

boys OVER THERE GIVE THEIR uvES

"~WO billion dollars must be rails
! ed before the end of this year
through the sale of thrift and
war savings stamps, OF this
must come through with $4,000.
There must be no sidesteppng the
issue. The full allotment mus. be
subscribed because the government
must have the money in carrying out
its plans To win the war. But you
are not asked to give anything; on the
contrary you are being given an OPP
portunity to loan your money to the
government at Az per cent interest,
payable January /, 1928. Idaho is far
short of the amount to be raised
| through the sale of stamps, and
among the counties of the state, Sho-
shone ranks sixth. Plans have now
been completed for a great war savings
stamp drive throughout the nation
beginning June "a and ending June 90
and it is expected that before its close
the total issue of two billion dollars
will be largely over subscribed. In

claim to special distinction. Wal
lace, Idaho, which was described
somewhat inaccurately, we find, In
our April magazine, shares this
special grace in such measure that
she resents being termed "dingy,
dirty, and tumbledown," and also
denies that her foundations were
laid with any other idea than that
of permanency. 1t was raw wea-
ther when our travelling editor
made this northern trip and per-
haps the day he spent in Wallace
was particularly dismal AT any
rate he failed to note that Wal
lace's streets are paved; that her
water system is-what only a few
communities can claim-adequate
for her protection, and that her
people enjoy the important safe
guard of a good sewerage system.
Two streams run through the
town, and for blocks these are
confined between concrete en-
bankments. Wallace's homes are
lighted with electricity and are
supplied with modern convenien-
ces. The city is the metropolis
and supply depot of the Occur
d'Alene district, consequently it
has mercantile establishments
which, so far as stocks and head
quarters are concerned, would be
a credit to a much larger city.
We published many interesting
Wallace views in our April mag
azine, but cannot refrain from
using two others which are par
ticularly noteworthy
Unlike many cities in mining
districts Wallace does not suffer
from lack of vegetation. Her
pleasant residence streets have
many fine lawns and are shaded
by avenues of beautiful trees"

Prove Your Patriotism.
1t is AN right to talk patriotism. but
this il a time when something more
tangible than talk is required. Prove
your patriotism by signing up to save
and invest your savings in war saw
ings stamps. Next week every loyal
American will be called upon to pledg
himself to invest definite amount in
these baby bonds Only $4,000 had
been invested in war savings stamps
in Shoshone county on June /. This
must be raised to $4,000 next week.
Every citizen should have his mind
made up and know just how much he
can subscribe when the committee
calls. This will save much time and
make the committeemen's work easy,
During this month war savings stamps
cost $417 and will be worth $5 each

drift is now under the portal of the
old tunnel and for some distance has
shown considerable ore About 15O
feet remains to be run to reach the
main shoot, but indications point to
encountering a full face of ore before
that is accomplished. This tunnel
will become the main outlet to the

Famous Old property FormaIy urn

The Last Chance mine, near Ward

bonanza district, will soon be form
ally transferred to the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company. Since 1903 the
mine has been owned by the Federal
Mining & Smelling company, and the
transfer to the Bunker Hill will be
in pursuance of an agreement entered
into between that company and the
Federal in the settlement of litigation
in connection with underground rights.
As stated in the last issue of this
paper, under the terms of this agree
ment the Federal company agreed to
transfer the property to the Bunker
