Another Irish crisis In at hand, for
the British government according to
dispatches from Dublin. has issued a
proclamation prohibiting and suppress
ing the Sim Fein and other like or
CARNATIONS in all countries and Dor

British now have 10000 troops in Ire
land, and on the other hand the sup
porters of the Irish republic" claim
they have an army Of at least 100000
ready to fight for the cause.

The new Labor party held its first
national convention in Chicago last
week, and 1t was scarcely what could
be called a success. The official list OF
delegates showed that 72S presented
credentials. but a good many Of them
faded away before the convention
came to a close Moreover, not one
of the 124 international labor unions
was represented, and of the $4,000 To-
cal unions in the American Federation
of Labor and 5000 Independent unions
only 642 sent delegates. One delegate
from Boston said about so per cent OF
those in attendance were Socialists
and ex-Socialists. Among those who
deserted the convention were the mem
bers of the Nonpartisan league. headed
by Governor Frazier of North Dakota.
The platform adopted is almost iden-
teal with those of other radical
groups.

When the congressional committee
went to Ellis island to investigate the
cases of the radicals held here for de-
portation it ran into bunch of tar
tars. The reds refused to be ques-
toned, and moreover were on hum
ger strike because they were separated
from callers by bars. OF course the
obvious course is to let them starve,
and the applause would be general.
1t was also disclosed that Frederic Z.
Howe, former commissioner OF imml-
grafton at the island, had maintained
a strangely sympathetic attitude OF
mind toward the reds who had been
caught in the federal net. There may
be more about him later on.

DIsAPPROvEs KILLING OF BEAR
Heathershaw Protests Coming Here Of
Government Paid Bear Hunter

John Brooks is waiting in this dis
trict until word is received from the
Idaho state game department in re-
gard to whether or not he shall be al
lowed to hunt bear and coyotes in the
county as an employee of the govern
ment.
When Brooks came here he was ad-
vised by Deputy Game Warden Heath
ershaw that he could not hunt bear
in violation of the state law Brooks
claimed he was government employ
ee sent here for that purpose in view
of the fact that bear and coyotes are
believed to have killed sheep of some
Pendleton sheep men which are pas
tured in the forest reserves of the
county. At first he did not want to
buy game license but Game Warden
Heathershaw insisted upon this. Mr.
Heathershaw told Brooks that he must
not begin any hunting until advice had
been received from State Game Warden
Jones. A decision in the matter will
come soon.
Game Warden Heathershaw does not
think il probable or likely that bear
are killing sheep in this county and
he does not think it right for a paid
hunter to come into the county to kill
off the game of the district.

Veterinarian May Locate Here

DR. Howard A. White arrived here
yesterday to visit for a while at the
home of his brother, Frank b. White,
of Reids Department Store.
DR.. White is a veterinary surgeon
and soon after the United States en-
tered into the great war" he enlisted
and served for many months with
Vet. Co. 1, Camp Greenleaf, Georgia.
He recently received his discharge and
since has been assistant to DR.. Tied
ebolil, the veterinarian of the Union
Stock Yards and Hospital, of Chicago.
Dr. White is graduate of McKillip's
Veterinary College, of Chicago. After
receiving his diploma he was engaged
as veterinarian for the Ringing Bros.
circus. He expects to locate in the
west and may make this county his
home if there appears to be enough
business here for a veterinarian. A
number of farmers and stockmen of
the district have met Mr.. White and
have encouraged him to locate here

Removes Cataract of the Eye

1t is generally known that an oper-
alton for the removal of cataract
from the eye is a delicate and serious
one. Such an operation was recently
made at the Bonners Ferry hospital
by DR. Fry on Anne, an Indian woman
from Creston, B. c., who had been
blind for over three years so that she
could barely distinguish night from
day. The operation was very success
full and now Anne can see as well as
ever and she is to be seen almost daily
on the streets.
Dr. Fry has SUCCESSFULLY performed
almost all of the delicate operations
of the eye and his reputation as a
surgeon and physician is drawing a
great many patients to the Bonners
Ferry hospital which is now regarded
as one of the best hospitals this side
of Spokane.

Large Crowd Have Social Time at
Copeland Tuesday Evening

Mr.. and Mrs. M. F. McAnelly were
most pleasantly surprised last Tuesday
evening when some so of their many
friends from all parts of the county
gathered at the McAnelly home for a
last social time before the McAnellys
leave for their new home near Big
Sandy, Mont. The affair was planned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred G. Chambers and
Miss Florence TOrmey.
The evening was spent singing, in
playing various games, music and Soc
ial conversation and at the midnight
hour a delicious spread was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. McAnelly plan to go to
their new home in the near future,
having recently traded their Copeland
holdings for a wheat ranch at Big
Sandy. They have been residents of
the Copeland district for over seven
years and in this time have built up
one of the best ranches of the county
and their home is one of many of the
conveniences not found in the ordinary
farmhouse. Mr.. McAnelly's herd of
Brown Swiss dairy COWS is considered
the best to be found anywhere this
side of Spokane.
During their stay in this county Mr..
and Mrs. McAnelly have been leaders
in all social and civic and church &C
tivities, they have been good neigh
bors and kind friends, progressive of
themselves and anxious to see and
help others progress and they will be
greatly missed by all their acquain-
tances in Copeland, Porthill and Bon
ners Ferry

ELECTION RESULTS SOON KNOWN

More interest is being taken in the

election in Boomers Ferry for MANY
a year Tor the campaign of the past
Few weeks has been marked by I'M

In an article signed by the members
of the Citizens ticket which was pub

which was peddled around town yes
terday, the assertion was made that
votes for the Progressive ticket
would be wasted because the ticket
had not been filed according to law.
This assertion, accredited only to Sam
Henry, is not being given credence
for it is about on par with the state

None of the members of the Progress

on any member of the present town ad-

WORK NOW FOR
BETTER ROADS
ANOTHER PLAN TO GET A RURAL
POST ROAD FOR BOUNDARY
COUNTY PROPOSED
ALL MUST COOPERATE NOW
State and Federal Road Money Is
Needed In this District

County Clerk ]. B. Brody and the
county commissioners and other coun-
ty officials and citizens of the county
are considerably interested, from the
standpoint of economy and good roads,
in securing federal and state aid for
the roads of this county.
Just now there is hope of interest
ing the state and government officials
in a plan to secure between $4,000
and $4,000 for a rural post road from
Boomers Ferry to Naples and return
ing to Boomers Ferry by way of the
Paradise Valley district. Aid has al
ready been asked for a rural post road
between Boomers Ferry and Porthill
and the county officers are now in
correspondence in regard to the mat
ter.
At this time it cannot be said, def
initely what chance there is TO secure
federal aid for the proposed route to
Naples and return. If such a route
could be secured it would mean the
discontinuance of the Moravia post
Office as the patrons of that office
would receive daily, except Sunday
mail service. The establishment of
this route would be a great benefit
to all the farmers on the route as it
would insure them of better roads,
maintained to a certain extent by the
government and it would also mean
a daily mail service such as is now en-
joyed by the people on the route to
Copeland and Porthill. The estab-
lishment of rural post routes and the
securing of state highways is a matter
that should interest every taxpayer of
the county for when these roads are
taken over the county has but little
further to do with the upkeep and
money which is now spent for upkeep
can be used for other roads. Every
citizen interested in goods roads in
this county should join with the county
commissioners in their effort to get
the aid which should rightfully come
here. 1t would help the cause a great
deal if every citizen would make it a
point to write to Governor Davis and
to State Engineer Jones, at Boise, Ida
no, and urge them to help us get state
and federal road money.

would be too bad to go back to the
days of the bank fights. Everyone
knows that the bank fights of past
years were disagreeable and detri-
mental to all interests. Now. all is
different and there is no desire on
the part of either the First State Bank
or the First National Bank to CON
troll the town affairs. Both banks
have worked in harmony since the
First State Bank changed hands and
there is every reason to believe they
will continue to do so. For the past
two years Otto Mathiesen, assistant
cashier of the First State Bank, has
been the town treasurer, and while it
may not be generally known, it is a
fact that half the town funds is kept
in the First National Bank and half
in the First State Bank
Both Mr.. Shultis and Mr.. Cowen
consented to become candidates for
the office of town trustee only after
they had been solicited by many of the
best citizens of the town and then
one would not consent unless the 9TH
er did. 1t is also true that every
member of the Progressive ticket con-
scented to become candidate with
great reluctance and only because they
were urged strongly by most of our
citizens.
1t is certainly out of place for any
one to urge that election of bankers
to town office spells bank fights or
bank control.
Clerk Richardson stated last night
that nearly 400 people were registered
for the election today and it is ex-
pected that most of these will come out

The first day of the victory loan
campaign in Boundary county ended
last night with a good showing of
volunteer subscriptions and Chairman
r. A. Shultis is feeling confident that
through the help OF all the patriotic
people of the county the quota of
$SO,0OO Will be reached before the cam
paign closes on May 10th. He plans
to have published each week the names
OF those who make subscriptions and
has given the Herald the following list
or people who subscribed yesterday:

The above report is of course only
from Boomers Ferry and immediate
vicinity and no doubt more than twice
as many subscriptions have been taken
in the other parts of the county.
Mr.. Shultis has named the members
OF the former campaign committees
to serve on this drive A house to

cry person will be given the chance

is of the utmost Importance that the
subscriptions for these bonds should
come from the public and not from the
banking institutions, whose resources
should be left free to take care of the
commercial needs of the country, par
ticularly during this period of read
justment from wartime production to
peace-time production, and also to take
care OF any short time borrowings,
which the Treasury department may
need to make in the future The peo-
pie should be made to understand that
this is the last loan that they will be
asked to make and those people who
heretofore limited their subscriptions
to amounts which they could pay in
six months time because of the prob
ability of another loan within the per-
lod, can now more readily afford to
obligate themselves for longer period
OF time. Let this be truly loan of
the people, loan of victory, loan of
gratitude"

SWEPT AWAY BY SWIFT CURRENT
Search Parties Have Been Unable To

Arthur Smythe was drowned in the

n'clock Yesterday afternoon, when he

s sn below town a half mile, where
no was working for the cedar firm of
hitchcock and Hitchner, of Standpoint.
TN TO the time of going to press the
hodv of Smythe had not been recov-
cred.
several men are employed at the
hoom and when the accident happened
cmvthe was walking the boom log
ohead of Don Chisholm. Smythe was
seen to stumble, having evidently
ctubbed his toe in some manner, and
he fell astraddle of the log and an in
slant later rolled over into the water.
Smythe came to the top only once
and he evidently realized his plight
for he cried out for help. Chisholm
ran for the place where Smythe went
IN and tried to grab him when he came
TO the top and in doing so fell in the
river too. At this place the river
Is quite deep and the current is swift
and forms an undertow.
One of the men at the booms came to
town for help and the others began the
search for Smythes body. Sheriff
Dunning and Deputy Sheriff Bangs
dragged the river bottom and used
considerable blasting powder in the
effort to locate the body. 1t may
have been carried far down the river
BY the swift current although some
conjecture that it is held by snae
in one of the eddies.
Smythe is wellknown here and has
made his home in this city for several
years. He has mother at Montreal

and was one of the Boundary county
boys called into the service of the
United States in the great war" He

SwIPEs WINCHESTER CASTLE KEY
Standpoint Soldier Boy Nearly Gets
Away With Valued English Relic

The story is going the rounds OF
Boomers Ferry this week. brought by
returned soldiers from overseas SER
vice, that Standpoint soldier, Oscar
kallgren, was the man that recently
got away with the big brass key to
Winchester castle.
1t seems that in England the Amer
lean boys are shown around quite a
bit and one outfit, of which Kallgren
was member, visited a place where
the key to Winchester castle was ex-
hibited This key is a huge brass
affair, it is said, and was in a glass
case. The key is about a foot long.
According to the story, someone sug-
gested that it would be fine souve-
mir to take home and this idea APP
pealed to Kallgren and in some way
he managed to get hold of it.
There was quite a rumpus when it
was found out that the key had dis
appeared and immediate search was
started among the American soldiers.
1t is said that correspondence and tele-
grams between high officials of the
United States and England, passed in
regard to the matter and all the ships
carrying troops from England were
well searched at ports of entry. No
thing could be found of the lost key.
The U. S. officials were positive that
some American soldier had the key,
however and finally agreed that any
man delivering up the key would not
be questioned or punished in any man.
ner. The way the story goes, by this
time Kallgren had had all the trouble
he wanted with souvenir keys and had
decided that he could not get away
with the deal so he gave it to the cook
lof the company who turned it in.
