HEAVY LOAD ON
CITY PHONE SYSTEM

Telephone service In Wilmington has
been more or less slow lately owing
partly TO the unprecented loads which
have been put on the lines due TO the
weather, and TO the fact that many
persons are now confined within doors,
whot normally would attend 10 their
business personally instead OF using
the telephone.
A. c. Bard0, manager OF the company.
said this morning that 20 per cent. Of
the operators at the exchange were alb
sent this morning, and due TO this fact
and the very heavy loads which the
lines were compelled to carry, service
might be somewhat slow until cOndi-
tions become normal. During The last
month an average OF IS per cent. OF
the exchange operators have been alb
sent each day. the highest percentage
for any one day being "a per cent Some
days the percentage OF absentees falls
as low as 10, against normal average
OF or 4 per cent. during good weather.
Patrons OF the telephone are assured.
however, that as soon as conditions
permit, the service will be improved.

Merchants Loose SIS
On Every Thousand
Feet Timber Burned

Every time a thousand feet of
Understandable timber is destroy
ed by forest fires, the working
men of Idaho lose SIS in wages
and the farmers or food produc-
ers lose 49, that otherwise would
have been spent for camp supplies
and materials. And the business
men of the state lose SIS worth
of trade, which the wage Garner
would have been able to do with
them The fire menace therefore
becomes a matter of vital interest
to every citizen of the state and
community. Aeroplane fire patrol
will undoubtedly be a part of the
system of defense against fire
losses in Idaho next summer work
to this end now being under way
through federal and state appro-
priations. North Idaho contains
the largest body of white pine
timber in the world and in this
tract stands the only mature white
pine forest of any size in exist
ence. The proper handling of this
immense investment to the end
that every citizen of this state gets
his rightful due in the mainte-
nance of state institutions and
the lessening of tax burdens is
one of the big problems for
state administra tion to cope with.

DEATH OF 81 DONNELLY.

Old timers will remember 81 Dom
nelly. He was an rly-day resident
of the county and played a conspicu-
Gus part in the early history Of the
district. In 1884 he landed in Eagle
City and watched the gold boom sub
side. In 1892 he was sheriff when
there was plenty to occupy his time,
for a serious labor trouble was on in
the district. Later he moved over to
Kootenai county and spent many
years there on his homestead. He
held numerous mining interests.
All who knew him speak highly OF
his character and his popularity was
widespread. He was one of the rug
ged type who helped frame the early
destinies of the Coeur d'Alene district
and his passing rmoved another Of
the pioneers, whose numbers are rap
idly fading. The body was shipped tt
Oakland, Calf, for burial, relatives
residing in that city.
