sent through on special schedule to
the seaboard, a guard Of soldiers con-
shutting the whole crew except the
engine driver. At Baltimore the con-
tainers were placed on ship and so
miles out at sea, at point where the
Atlantic ocean is three miles deep,
they were gently lowered oversize.
Time and rust will release their lethal
contents, the chemical action of the
sea water will neutralize the poison.
and all that viii remain of Lewisite
viii be the samples in Washington and
the sealed formula.
Use Automatic Airplane.
Lewisite was not only to be pro-
iected from guns specially made for
the purpose but it was also to be
dropped from automatic airplanes,
that is to say airplanes that could be
operated without pilot and that
would release their deadly cargo at
the exact time and place intended
This was the automatic airplane. a
device which was kept so secret that
the armistice only few Of the higher
officials of the war department knew
Of it's existence. and most of them
did not understand the principle of its
6peratiOn. Only one Of these ma
chimes had been finished, but it's sue
cess proved the possibility of con-
structing cheaply and speedily a
fleet of airplanes that could be flown
without having a human being on
board and which could be relied upon
to drop bombs of poison gas at a dis
lance of so or more miles from their
starting point, and to drop these
bombs within half a mile Of the point |
determined upon as their
objective. The diffusive power of
Lewisite is so great that to set it |
free within half a mile of the enemy |
is almost as effective as dropping it |
in the midst of his forces. Half a
dozen 3OO-pound bombs Of Lewiste,
exploded to the windward of the city
o. Berlin would have killed the en-
tire population of the German capt.
tai And by the use of the automatic
airplane all danger to the attacking
forces is eliminated. The worst that
could happen would be to have the
planes brought down by the enemy
who would get the surprise Of his life
when the Lewisite gas began to cir
.ulate in his vicinity.
The automatic airplane was sub
ected to severe trials at Dayton,
ohio without a pilot it circled over
he city four times and then after
raveling more than 100 miles, it came
o earth. In order to preserve the Sc
ret the spectators were told that the i
'ilot had escaped by means of a par
Ichute. No wonder Colonel Gouraud
.hould say that the next war would
,e the most savage and brutal of all,
we may cherish some faint 5
nope that the knowledge of Lewisite
win act as a deterrent to those who
nay stih mediate breach of the {
worlds peace

on August IS 1913. the first strike
Of the wor0men in Shoshone county
for over 20 years was called at adj the
producing mining properties in the
district except at those at Kellogg
(which includes the Bunker Hill a
Sullivan and Caledonia. The closing
down of the other properties III the
district was complete, even the hoist
and pump men leaving their positions
with few exceptions. There was no
violence or destruction of property,
and very little picketing, and the
strike was officially declared off on
October 9, the worl1men returning on
the same conditions as existed at the
time of the strike.
Prior to March It, 1919, a bonus Of
$l.75 per shift was paid to all en-
ployes by the mining companies, ma
king a rate of 1925 per S-hour shift
for miners, but because of the unsat-
isfactery metal market on that date
a reduction Of 81 in the bonus was
made. leaving IS cents. Subsequent
ly. on May 20 with the improved sill
yer market, so cents was added to
the bonus, and on July 20, because Of
the substantially improved lead mar
ket, further addition Of so cents
WAS made to the bonus, thus restor-
ing the fun S175 bonus which was
paid prior to the March 16 reduction
The leaders of the strike made their

custom of the district is, and has been.

War Inventions That Were Too Late

The cynic has perhaps some righ
to maintain that human energy anC
ingenuity are relatively inert in the
saving of life, but they become eX-
traordinarily efficient in its destruc-
tion The reply is, of course, an OBJ
vious one. Wars are always waged
ostensibly for national preservation
The destruction of ones enemy is the
means to an end, and not the end in
itself The end is self defense, the
life of the nation, and however unreal
such a plea may often be, it is none
the less significant that no people
would ever dare to make war without
the attempt to establish a case Of alb
solute necessity.
These reflections are suggested by
an article written by Frank Parker
Stocldbridge fer the November "Har-
per's" 1t is entitled "War Inven-
tons That Came Too Late"
Levisite Deadly Poison.
The most important of these inven-
tions is known as Lewisite 1t is a
poison gas, and if it is conveniently
defined as a sort Of "methyl" we may
be quite sure that the word contains
no indication of its composition. Lew
isite is the invention of Professor W.
Lee Lewis, who formerly occupied the
chair of chemistry at Northwestern
university. He became a captain i'm
the ordnance department and was as
signed TO duty in connection with the
.,.1 Eos, Of
to which his name has been given
has an action upon the human system
different from any other known poi
son.
Levisite is a gas so deadly that #
has 70 times the hnins power of the
most deadly gas used in the war
When the armistice was signed the
United states had manufactured and P
on hand enough Of this poison to kin
the entire German army and was ma
king 1t at the rate Of 10 tons a day
The United states. moreover. was the
only power that participated in The

base of operations.
Secret Carefully Guarded
The secret Of the composition OF
Lewisite was carefully guarded 1t
WAS known as "GS4." a nomenclature
that leaves much to be desired from
the point of view of the curious. There
were only a few officials who knew
anything about it at all, and still few
er who knew anything Of its strength
or purpose.
Lewisite is described as AN oily
liquid Of an amber color and the
odor Of geranium blossoms. 1t is
highly explosive, and on contact with
water it bursts into flame. Let loose
in the open air, it diffuses into a gas
which instantly kills on the inhala-
ton Of the smallest amount that can
by any means be measured A single
drop of the liquid on the hand causes
death in a few hours, the victim dy-
ing in fearful agony. The pain on
contact is acute and almost unendur-
able 1t acts by penetrating through
the skin, or in the gaseous form,
through the lung tissue, poisoning the
blood affecting in turn the kidneys,
the lung tissues, and the heart.
Large Amount on Hand.
When the armistice was signed the
United States had on hand $50 tons
of this stuff, enough to poison half
the population of the country if the !

points Today there is none in exist

The Occur d'AIene District in 1919

September a precipitation Of only
2.69 inches was recorded, as compar-
ed with a precipitation of 2.s2 for the
corresponding months of 1910. which
year heretofore held the record for
lack of rainfall and for unprecedented
forest fires, which destroyed enOrm-
GUS acreage of valuable timber and d
large portion Of the city Of Wallace,
and resulted in a loss Of SO lives. The
fires in the summer of 1919 were near
ly equally destructive in the forests of
Shoshone county, but, fortunately, de-
stroyed none of the towns, and no
lives were lost, principally because Of
the perfected organization of the for
est service and improved resources
for fire fighting. However on June
10, during a high wind, fire destroyed
the sawmill of the Bunker Hill & Sui
Ivan company at Kellogg and a large
stock of stull timber, and for several
hours threatened the destruction of
resources of the mining organization
and the community in preventing fur
Their destruction.
The Bunker Hill smelter and refin-
cry at Kellogg operated continuously
throughout the year, one blast fur
mace being sufficient, during the
greater part Of this period. to care for
the ores received.
Development Work Limited
Development work has, with few
exceptions, been practically at a
standstill throughout the year. AT the
Carbonate Hin mine at Mullan. |
promising development in prosecuting |
from that company's 4OO-foot shaft is
said to have been made, but other
wise no discoveries of Importance are |
noted, and little development has been /
carried on, because of the excessive
cost of such work and the absorption
by the large producing companies of
all the skilled mining la
Dor available It is impossible to es-
innate what the total production of
the district for 1919 will be, but
reduction from that of
past year is certain, possibly as large b
as 40 per cent.
