FOREST FIRES DO DAMAGE
Fire Near Meadow Greek Destroys
Logs of Meadow Greek Lumber Co.

A number of menacing forest fires
started the past few days in various
parts of Boundary county, one at
Meadow Creek burning several thou
sand dollars worth of logs belonging
TO the Meadow Creek Lumber Com
pany.
A crew of some 20 men was en-
ployed on this fire and on Tuesday
lit was reported that the fire was we'll
under control.
Another large fire has been burn
ing in the vicinity of Brush creek near
the point where it empties into the
kootenai river
The forest rangers all over the
county are keeping a sharp lookout
for fires and as far as possible are
stopping fires before they make much
headway
Officials in charge of forest fire
crews and county officers are certain
that many fires are of incendiary
origin and efforts are being made to
app nhend the people who are respon-
siblo for the starting Of forest fires
whether purposely or through care
lessness.
The high wind of yesterday was re-
sponsible for a number of blaZes
gaining headway within a few miles of
Bonners Ferry but so far as is known
the fires did not burn valuable timber.

cribed as follows: "Via Kalispell,

The following Special Note" is ap-
pended to the report:
'Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., of
New York City, has just completed an
inspection trip over the National Parks
Highway for the information of east
ern tourists and others, and his road

ported the road excellent excepting in
eastern Montana where flood condi-
tions existed for short period at the
time he was there. Minnesota, North

reported by him to be as perfect as
anyone could wish for. He also re-
ports hotel and garage facilities first

The Creston Review, published at
Creston, B. c., July Is. contained the
following paragraphs relative to the
drainage meeting held here July IL
and attended by many prominent
Creston people:
I -"Chief interest, however, centered in
the remarks of Mr. Swendsen, to whom
was deputed the task of detailing just
what transpired at the Victoria get
together. Briefly stated the arrange
ment came to is this: Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Swendsen had an on-the-spot
conference at Bonners Ferry on Tues
day, at which plans were laid for the
necessary finish-up investigation work
which will be started just as soon as
the water conditions on the flats will
permit operations to commence. When
the work as planned by Messrs.
Swendsen and Cleveland has been
completed they will have another on
the-spot conference probably at
Creston when the next move will be
decided upon. 1t is figured that suf-
ficient appropriation is available to at
least accomplish the work laid out
Tuesday. Any further move in the
matter, of course, cannot be an
nounced until after this first stage of
investigation is complete, and digested
by the reclamation heads of B. c. and
Idaho
While very guarded throughout his
remarks Mr. Swendsen stated that in
sofar as soil content went the project
was simplified in that the makeup OF
the soil indicated that there was lit
tie likelihood of provision having to be
made for near-surface drainage, which
always had to be reckoned with in a
soil showing alkali content. Without
exception the Creston delegation was
greatly impressed with Mr.. Swendsen's
quite exhaustive and clear-cut state
ment of case, and every confidence is
felt that the plan Of operations as out
lined will be fully carried out"

CLOSE BALL
GAME SUNDAY

One of the most interesting and
closely contested ball games of the
season was played ON the local dia-
mond Sunday afternoon when the
Spokane Dry Goods Co baseball team
defeated the Bonners Ferry team by
score of to 3.
Spokane secured a lead of three
runs in the second inning. Bonners
Ferry secured one run in the third
inning Hydorn got a two bag hit.
Earl Heathershaw was thrown out at
first. Chamberlain hit to the left
field scoring Hydorn. Rolf was out
on grounder to first and Melin
popped out. Spokane got it's final
run in the seventh inning.
With the score to / against them
the local nine rallied splendidly in
the eighth and ninth innings and Ray
Heathershaw started to pitch air-tight
ball In the first few innings he was
not able to control the ball and walked
three men.
In the eighth inning Johnson landed
on the horsehide for two bags and
Bruce sent him home with a clean
hit between second and first bases.
Rufcorn sent a hot liner to third and
it was handled for a double play that
was perfectly timed. Hydorn hit to
center field but was caught out at
second. retiring the side
In the ninth inning the local team
again attempted to wrest the game
from Spokane. Heathershaw got to
first on an error by the Spokane
second baseman. Chamberlain hit
slow grounder to third and Heather
shaw was thrown out at second. Rohif
hit to right field scoring Chamberlain
Melin famed. With Rahlf on second
base and two out Ray Heathershaw
came to bat. 1t was chance to win
his own game or to at least tie the
score, which was then to 3. He
landed on the ball for two bases but
the Spokane fielders relayed the ball
in time to catch Rohlf out at
home If Rohlf had reached home
two seconds sooner the score would
have been tied and there would have
been a strong possibility of winning
the game Johnson, a strong batter,
being next up.
Next Sunday the Priest River team
will play here and Manager Reid is
looking forward to another good game
and is hoping for a big turnout of
the fans as the team went in the hole
on the Spokane game.
1t is not certain but it is possible
that the game with Newport will be
called off on account of a number of
the Newport players being in the har-
vest fields and in firefighting camps.
Manager Reid is planning to bring
Standpoint here soon for another game.

THE third week in June, while l
was crossing the gulf" said Miss Day
ton last evening, I'VE ran across ter
rible storm. We saw a wreck and the
ship sunk with every one on board be-
fore our lifeboats could reach the spot
1t took me 20 days to get home, hav-
ing come to Galveston by boat and
from there by rail
"The American people have a sadly
distorted view of the Mexicans. They
are a peace-loving people and so far
as breaking laws is concerned, Mexico
has more laws than any other country
and they are strictly enforced. There
is nothing the Mexicans will not do for
foreigners and they want to be friendly
with them Obregon is "El hombre
del dia"-the man of the day in Mexico,
He has lifted Mexico out of the chaos
and has restored order. Today Mexico
is thriving, law-abiding nation.
"Tampico is the second largest ship
ping port on the eastern coast of the
western hemisphere" said Miss Day
ton. New York is the only one which
does more business. We export oil
only and send all of it to the states to
be refined The Texas company is one
of the largest in the world and is at
present forming new company in
South America. We also have oil
fields in Columbia"
Miss DAYTON will return to Tampico
next Sunday.

in the same way as in the case of dy-
Mantle. Both types of caps are loaded
with a charge of a highly sensitive
and violent explosive. The caps must
be handled carefully with picric acid
or any other high explosive.
How Picric Acid Is Used.
For stump and rock blasting pieric
acid can be used in exactly the same
way as dynamite is used. The charges
should be placed in the same manner,
and the same number of cartridges
should be used in the charge as in the
case of dynamite. AS has been said, a
No. 8 instead of No. 6 cap should be
used with picric acid.
For blasting bitches, the electric
method of firing must be used be-
cause the picric acid is so insensitive
that it will not propagate
1t is believed that the above infor-
nation will be sufficient to insure the
proper use of picric acid by persons
who are familiar with the use of dy-
Mantle in agricultural operations. De-
tailed information and instructions as
to the use of picric acid in stump
blasting can be secured by application
to the Bureau of Public Roads. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d. G.

Picric acid should be detoned with
what is known as NO s" detonator
or cap. Dynamites and farm powders
are usually fired by mo. 6" caps, but
because of its insensitiveness the
stronger No. 8 caps should be used
with picric acid. There are two kinds
OF caps, one fired by safety fuse and
the other by an electric current. The
No. s size OF both kinds are of the
same strength and either may be used
with picric acid. The caps are placed
in the picric acid cartridges and fired
