FREIGHT TRAINS STRIKE TRUCKS
]. L. Leach and C. II. DurOse Have
Narrow Escape ON G. n. Tracks.

]. L. Leach's Transport truck was
badly wrecked last Wednesday noon
when it was struck by Great North
ern train being switched on one of
the sidetracks crossing Main street
The damage is estimated at about
$500 as both rear wheels were torn
off, the frame twisted and many small
parts bent and broken. Mr.. Leach was
driving the truck but was not hurt
c. H. Durose, who was riding with Mr
Leach, sustained several bruises and
the dislocation of his kneecap.
The truck was struck just as 1t was
halfway clear of the track, and was
csrried some 40 or so feet before the
train was stopped, the truck turning
over just east of the KoOtcnai Valley
Produce Company's warehouse. Mr..
Leach saw the train approaching when
II was 4 few feet away and endeavored
to drive ahead to set out CT the way.
Those who saw the accident consider
that it was miraculous that both MT.
Leach and Mr.. Durose escaped without
serious injuries.
A week ago Monday the Ford truck
Of w. A. Leslie was crushed by a.
G. N. train. The truck had been
backed up to the freight depot to be
loaded with freight and Mrs. Leslie
had gone inside the depot. The truck
was dragged past the east end OF the
station and was badly damaged, both
rear wheels being torn off and the
frame being badly wrecked.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALES TO
BE ACTIVELYPUSHE NOW

Association, one of the 1900 affiliated
organizations of the National Tubercu-
losis Associations, is financed solely
by the sale of the Christmas seals
These little stamps pay for teaching
people the facts about tuberculosis;
for doctors and for public health
nurses to care for and instruct pa
tients i'll with the disease; also to
teach the promotion of child health
so that children may not become VIC
Tins of this disease which is nearly
always contracted in childhood; for
the universal teaching of personal hy-
giene to 10000 Idaho school children.
through the Health Crusade They
also finance a campaign for clean
milk from healthy cows to save the
babies and children from infection
from bovine tuberculosis; for ordi-
nances protecting the public; also to
secure legislation for hospital care for
the tuberculosis citizens of the state. 3.
Medical consultation and dispensary
service is the next step necessary in
the tuberculosis campaign. In this
way cases will be found, and gotten
under medical care in time for a
chance of cure. Extended nursing
service. promotion of health education
and facilities such as open air schools
for children predisposed to tuberculo-
sis. will be the program if the 1920
sale of seals is successful.
The public is asked to stop and con-
slider the tragedy of tuberculosis-the
great economic loss to state and ma
tion-that it is the greatest cause OF
poverty. widowhood and orphanage-
and then buy Christmas Seals, instead
of red ribbon. tinsel cord and holiday
stickers to do up Christmas bundles.
Mrs. Caroline W. Flood is county
chairman of Boundary county for thu

cided to secure fewer numbers but to
make sure that each was a firstclass

SHIP EIGHT CARLOADS OF sPuDs
Commission Firm Buys Entire Potato
Crop of Fitzpatrick Bros.

On Wednesday of this week Fitz-
patrick Bros. completed the loading
and shipping of eight carloads of po-
tatoes raised on their ranch east OF
town. The potatoes were all sold
to a commission firm, Withers &.
Cadmore, and consisted of seven car
loads of Melted Gems and one carload
of Early Rose potatoes.
The buyer for the commission house
was here last week to inspect the po-
tatoes. He visits the potato growing
districts of several western states and
while here stated that the potatoes
raised on the Fitzpatrick ranch beat
anything ever grown in the Yakima
district. The potatoes purchased from
Fitzpatrick Bros. will be held for seed
and will be shipped to all parts OF
Washington and Oregon.
Mike Fitzpatrick who was in town
yesterday, states that the present
market price does not warrant the
raising of potatoes. He has been
studying the U. S. crop reports and
basing his opinion on these, does not
figure that potatoes Will reach a two
cent pound price by spring.

APPLYING FOR
FARM LOANS

More applications for farm loans
have been received at the office of
the commissioner of public invest
ments so far during the month of No
vember than during any previous
month in the history of the depart
ment," it was announced by G. E.
Elmer Friday morning in discussing
the receipts of funds and applications
for loans, says the Boise Statesman.
Funds continue to come in at the
rate of about $4,000 per day, said the
commissioner. These funds are from
interest on mortgages, sales certifi-
Gates and rentals and represent earn
ings to the state. All of this money
is paid out to the various school in
stitutions maintained by the state
through the state board of education !,
75 per cent goes to school and the re-
mainder to other institutions. These
funds accumulate until January 1
when they are turned over to the state
superintendent of education.
Applications for loans, however
have far exceeded the receipts. Re
Gently, ii was announced, that requests
for loans were being received at the
rate of $4,000 daily. This is accounted
for, said Commissioner Elmer, by the
fact that farm products have dropped
in value and the farmer seems to be
unwilling to sell at the low figure
in order to turn his product into cash
High freight rates. too, have done their
part as they stand directly in the path
of the Idaho farmer, who wants to
get his produce on the nationa'
market

FUR MARKET
PRICES DROP

do not trap this season" This is
the slogan that is put in the hands of
the Idaho state game department by
fur dealers for the information of all
trappers in the state. Prices have
dropped in the fur market and dealers
everywhere are cautioning trappers
to entirely skip this season and by so
doing it is pointed out by the dealers
prices will be doubled or trebled next
year.
Extra large size beaver skins which
last year the state could get $50 for
will only bring SIP this season. Extra
large wolf or coyote can only be sold
for from So to ST. Black and silver
fox hides, however, will sell for price
between $3.50 and 5000.
Millions of dollars worth of furs on
the market, is given as the cause for
| the depression and the dealers esti-
mate that this winter will not be suf-
ficient time to dispose of all the raw
/ fur on the market.
The recent demand for money too
has had it's effect upon the dealers
! Ordinarily, fur merchants have large
loans from banks which they have
tied up in furs. When the banks
called for liquidation of these loans
the companies were forced to sell theil
product at a greatly reduced price il
order to get the money to meet the
demands. This unloading" has caused
the market to become glutted anC
naturally the prices have dropped
Dealers estimate that if the presen
season is skipped by trappers in al
] ia ft,r
ing countries, that next year will SCI
not only more pelts but higher price
for the raw stock.

By mutual agreement between the
National tuberculosis Association and

year is distinctly a tuberculosis seal
and not a Red Cross seal. This ar
rangement was made because so much
confusion was created after the Red
Cross roll call was placed just pre-
ceding the Christmas seal sale. Many
persons thought that all money raised
by the seals was but duplicate con-
tribution to the Red Cross-nOt under
standing that all seal money was de-
voted to tuberculosis work.
