PLAN TO ORDER A CARLOAD
OF PICRIC ACID FOR STUMPINC

stump was cracked into four pieces,
and the roots shattered. In the sec
ond test two standing cottonwood
trees, twelve inches in diameter were
charged with SO sticks of picric acid
and 55 ounces of dynamite respect
lively, and fired The picric acid
brought out its tree as we'll as did the
dynamite.
This one series of tests is not con
elusive evidence that the picric acid
has a relative strength Of So to SO or
even s to with stumping dynamite
for stump blowing, but it is evidence
of the fact that it is a satisfactory
stumping explosive.
The tests made by government in
vestigators indicated that a six ounce
cartridge of picric acid had the same
lifting power of eight ounces Of COM
mercial dynamite.
Further tests will be made in the
county later, but owing to the fact
that the quality of this explosive is
limited it was thought best to rush an
order through before the supply is ex-
hausted.

FROM
COUNTY JAIL
WOMAN PRISONER MAKES ROPE
OUT OF BLANKETS-IS CAP
TURED AGAIN SOON
WANTED AT GREAT FALLS, MONT.
Charged With Assisting In Theft of
Ford Car.

Evelyn Clark, wanted in Great Falls,
Mont, in connection with the theft OF
a Ford auto, escaped from the county
Jail Tuesday morning, tying together
couple of blankets with which she
let herself down to the ground from
the second story of the jail She was
captured few hours later and left
yesterday in charge of two Montana
deputy sheriffs for Great Falls.
1t seems that the Clark woman, in
company with two men, left Great
Falls a few weeks ago in Ford car
which, it is claimed, was stolen by the
men. The three drove the car as far
as Creston where they attempted to
sell it but were unsuccessful. The
two men robbed the Clark woman of
a watch and her money at Creston,
according to her story She made
complaint to the police authorities and
was herself taken in charge as an ac-
complice in connection with the theft
of the Ford car.
Great Falls authorities were notified
and two deputy sheriffs went to Cres-
ton to get the woman and to bring
back the car. The car needed repairs
and was left at Creston. The Clark
woman was brought mere ana placed
in the county Jail. At night she was
locked in room on the second story
of the Jail as the Montana officers
did not think it necessary to place her
in cell. Early next morning she
made her escape, took her two grips
to the G. N. depot and had them
checked and then started to walk to
Moravia or Naples.
When Sheriff Fisher discovered that
the Clark woman had taken French
leave, he notified the Montana offic-
ials. They rode to Naples on the
Great Northern "dinky" and walked
back along the track towards Bonners
Ferry and found the woman couple
of miles west of Moravia. She had
planned to get on the train at Mo
ravia and go into Spokane but had
walked past the station as she thought
Moravia was a good sized village and
did not not know that the "dinky"
would stop there ON flag
Yesterday morning the Montana
deputies, and their prisoner, left for
Great Falls, travelling in the auto
which had been stolen.

A TWO COUNTY
ORGANIZATION
BOUNDARY AND BONNER COUN-
TIES JOIN IN BOY SCOUT
MOVEMENT
COMMITTEES MET LAST FRIDAY
Budget Is $4,3O0.00- Boundary County
Quota Is S1,l00.00.

More than a dozen citizens of Bon
ners Ferry who are interested in the
Boy Scout movement. motored to
Standpoint last Friday evening to at
tend and take part in a meeting called
for the purpose of effecting a Bonner
Boundary County Boy Scout organi-
zation.
The meeting at Standpoint was at
tended by representatives from sew
eral towns in Bonner county.
A permanent organization was eff
fected under the direction of Percy
Frazier, scout executive of Shoshone
and Kootenai counties. M. A. Bliss,
of Standpoint, was elected president
of the organization; o. G. wilson, of
this city. was elected vice president
and E. d. Farmin, of Standpoint, was
elected secretary and treasurer.
Mr. Dayton, of Coeur d'Alene, who
has been assistant scout executive for
Shoshone and Kootenai counties, was
elected scout executive for the new
two county organization. He will
make his home at Standpoint and will
divide his time between Bonner and
Boundary counties.
j. I. Macnamara and JOhn Hanson
were named permanent members OF
the finance committee.
The finance committee prepared
budget of expense figuring that about
$4,000 would be required to cover the
expenses of the two county organiza-
ton for the first year. OF this sum
it is proposed to raise $1100 in Bound
ary county and the remainder in Bon
ner county
In the near future the members OF
the executive council will meet to de-
eide upon permanent camp site The
ShoshoneKootenai county Boy Scout
organization has a permanent camp
on Lake Coeur d'Alene. and last year
this camp was run for eight weeks, a
company of 4S Boy Scouts occupying
the camp for two weeks and then a
new company coming in for two weeks
and so on.
Many local people are greatly inter
ested in the Boy Scout movement and
are willing to back it with their time
and money because they have seen the
results accomplished in other commu-
mites. 1t is believed that Boundary
county's quota of $1100 will be raised
easily this year and that more will be
offered next year if it is needed.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETS

Members of the Kootenai Valley
Commercial Club held an interesting
meeting Monday night at which time
proposal made by President E. r. Fry
that the club adopt a method of pro-
tecting it's members against continu-
Gus begging and soliciting, received
favorable consideration.
President Fry stated that in Sand
point and many other communities no
business man will contribute to any
cause until the person or persons
soliciting funds have the endorsement
of the commercial club or chamber of
commerce. When any attempt to So
licit funds is started, the person or
persons must secure an endorsement
from the secretary of the club. He.
in turn, presents the matter to a COM
mittee of three, whose names are
known only to him, and who decide
whether or not it is worthy of the sup
port of the citizens of the town. The
secretary, of course, does not endorse
or refuse to endorse any plan pre-
sented except upon the advice of ma
jority of his committee. Secretary
Hagie, of the Standpoint Commercial
Club, told President Fry that this plan
ldS ScfCu DdnNpOiAl lDCl lCndlilH anu
business men many thousands of dol
lars in the past few years. 1t is likely
that some similar plan will be adopted
in this city.
Upon motion resolution was
passed in which the town trustees
were petitioned to take immediate
steps to secure from the Great Nor
thern Railway Co. some adequate
automatic signal for the Main street
crossing. A few months ago the town
trustees took this matter up with the
proper railway officials and at that
time were assured that an automatic
signal would be installed here but up
to the present time nothing has been
done
Secretary Palmer was instructed to
write Commissioner of Reclamation,
w. G. Swendsen asking him when he
would come here to begin drainage
investigations and urging him to use
his influence to secure an early meet
ing with Canadian engineers.
]. w. Reid gave an interesting talk
upon his recent trip to the Bassana
district of Alberta. He said that the
conditions in Canada were not as good
as last year but that the crops were
better, in most districts, than had been
expected and that the yield was from
six to IS bushels per acre. The wheat,
this year, he told, was of the finest
quality and he sold part of his crop
for SLABS. Next year he will have in
4S0 acres of wheat.
Mr.. Reid travelled to Bassana in his
auto and he said that the poorest roads
found on the trip of 369 miles were
from Meadow Creek to Eastport. He
stated, however, that this stretch of
road was so much improved over what
it has been for several years, that he

INSPECTION OF SEED POTATOES
State HorticuIturist Says This District
Is Adapted To Raising Potatoes.


+ r. Bennett. field horticulturist of
the extension service made the sec
ond field inspection of potatoes being
grown for seed in this county, Mon
day and Tuesday of this week
Eight fields were visited The pota-
toes in four of these fields did not
measure up to the requirements of the
state law, regarding certification, in
that the fields had not been rogued of
weak, diseased and "off type" plants,
and could not be certified. In the field
OF c. w. Guther the potatoes lacked
only in size, due to the combination
of close planting with the exception
ally dry season. These potatoes will
be good seed, and can be recommended
but not certified.
The fields of George Kindschuh,
II. l.. Shively and j. NJ. Billings passed
the inspection. If these potatoes
measure up at the bin inspection, they
will be certified.
Mr.. Bennett insisted that the combi-
nation of climatic and soil conditions
makes this section most favorably
adapted to potato seed production.
The seed shipped from this section to
south Idaho is speaking for itself in
production this year. One farmer is
digging as many as three hundred
twenty-five 110 pound sacks per acre
from this seed. The acreage should
be materially increased next year

AN OFFICIAL SCHEDULE FOR
THE GUIDANCE OF SPORTSMEN

Every year about the time the sea-
son opens on migratory birds Deputy
Game Warden Heathershaw is be-
seiged by hunters for information COW
ering the lawful time for hunting, the
federal regulations requiring that no
shooting take place before half hour
before sunrise and after half hour
after sunset
Yesterday Mr.. Heathershaw re-
ceived instructions from United States
Game Warden, Webster H. Ransom,
of Spokane, covering the hours each
day during which hunters may shoot
migratory game birds. He writes:
THE tables given below are close
enough to cover the district around
Bonners Ferry and the Kootenai Val
ley and will also apply to Standpoint.
Tell hunters that they should not use
almanac figures for sunrise and sun
set unless they happen to live on the
meridian of longitude west of the
Greenwich which is used as the
basis for their particular standard
time. To use the tables below the
sportsmen should set their watches
with Western Union clocks giving Pa
cific Standard Time. The time given
under the from" columns is the time
of one half hour before sunrise and
under the to- column is one half
hour after sunset. No use for further
figuring.

The total expenditures for all the
schools of the county for the school
year amounted to s110,094.15. On July
II, 1921, therefore, there was a bal
ance on hand to the credit of the dis
tricts of S2,59522. This is all the
money that there is on hand to meet
the expense of running the schools
from September l to January l, 1922,
at which time the first half of the
1921 taxes will be paid and the state
and county apportionments made.
These figures are for the county as
a whole. Some of the districts have
plenty in the treasury to meet all the
expenses of the first four months
of school; others are already regis
tering their warrants.

each. The six ounce cartridges of
picric acid were used under the larger
stump which measured 211k inches.
Eight ten ounce sticks of dynamite
were used under the 20 inch stump
The picric acid did its work as well if
not better than did the dynamite. The
