GALENA.

Development by the Galena Mining
company continues with most graft
flying results. The ore shoot on the
No. 6 tunnel level is now 22O feet in
length. and the face of the east drift
shows an improvement in the grade of
ore. A recent assay representing a
width of four feet returned II per cent
lead and IL ounces in silver It is
proposed to continue drifting east I'M
til the face is well beyond the east
end of the ore shoot on the 400 shaft
level, when a raise will be made to
determine the extent of the ore above
the tunnel level This means an ex-
tension of 100 feet or more.

Idaho Officials in San Francisco
Purpose of Meeting.
In response to a call from Thomas
II. Mcdonald, chief of the federal bu-
reau of public roads, w. J. Hall, state
commissioner of public works, and d
m. Olson. state director of highways
left this morning for San Francisco
for a conference with the state Off
Gals says the Boise Statesman.
Highway officials of the IL western
states will also be represented at the
conference which has been called, Mr..
Hall said. to discuss standards for
highway construction applicable to
western highways.
At the present time the standards
are the same for all states of the
country. and the state officials say
this works a hardship on the western
states. as they are unable to meet the
requirements as easily as are the
eastern states
For instance" Mr. Olson says, "all
railroad crossings are required to be
either subway or elevated so as to
separate the highway from the rail-
Dad This requirement is almost i'm
possible to apply to western states
md it is to correct this and for other
'easons that Mr.. Mcdonald has called

BOARD OF TRADE TO HOLD
ANNUAL ELECTION SOON
WOULD OPEN NORTH FORK ROAD
-MULLAN MONUMENT is
SHAMEFULLY MARRIED.

The Wallace board of trade is near
ing the end of another successful
year, and preliminary steps were tax
en- at the meeting yesterday to elect
new officers to guide its destiny for
the next twelve months. President
callahan announced that the annual
election of officers would be held on
the last meeting in August and there
upon appointed the following nomin-
ating committee with instructions to
report at the meeting next week: M.
H. F'lohr, Thos. H. Owens, f. f. Brew
er, r. T. Strachan and L. c. Wilson.
President Callahan also announced
that in accordance with custom, the
last meeting of August, when new Of
hcers will be elected, would be held
in the evening and instructed the en-
tertainment committee to make the
necessary arrangements for the ban
quet and program.
Mullan Monument.
Theodore Wellman called attention
to the outrageous work of vandals in
marring the Mullan monument at
Mullan summit in the Fourth of July
canyon. Names have been inscribed
all over it, some of them cut into the
stone and souvenir fiends have ac-
tually Clipped off pieces of the mar
BILE. President Callahan stated that
the monument was placed on the sum-
mt by the Occur d'Alene commercial
club and that he understood steps
were being taken by that body to pro-
tect it.
Mr. Welman also called attention
to a bulletin recently issued by no
body knows whom which purports to
give the names of all towns along the
Yellowstone trail from which the
names of Wallace, Mullan, Kellogg,
and Occur d'Alene have been omitted.
North Fork Road.
A letter was read from o. F. Aus
tin of Enaville calling attention to
the fact that the North Fork road was
closed from Carter to the mouth of |
Beaver creek, a fact which operates to
the disadvantage of Wallace in at
tracing trade from that section ex-
tending down as far as Haight THE
camps from Haight to Beaver" Mr..
Austin says, "employ about 1000 men
and there are 25 or 30 people owning
cars up this way who are compelled
to go by way of Kellogg, as they can
not get out by way of Beaver. There
is about $1,000 in taxes paid up this
way and we do not get any benefit of

SILVER CRESCENT HAS
A GOOD SHOWING OF ORE
is DEVELOPING A PROMISING
GROUP OF CLAIMS ON
MOON CREEK.

A chunk of ore six inches in diam
eter and having a value of sS7 per ton
was exhibited Monday by f. c. Bail
ey, of Spokane, secretary of the
Northwest Mining association, who
had been in the district several days
and returned home on the afternoon
train. The ore was taken from the
Silver Crescent, on Moon creek. and
represented a foot or more of the
same class of ore then in the face OF
the tunnel The value in the ore con-
sists of $40 in silver. S14 in lead and
SO in copper. There is also about 6
per cent zinc, but its value was not
computed The property was recent
l. y taken over by Mr. Bailey and asso-
ciates. who have organized the Silver
Crescent Mining company by which
it will be developed The company
owns six claims covering a vein just
south of and parallel to the Charles
Dickens Mining company.
Remarkably Fine Showing.
A tunnel has been driven about 100
feet on the vein and will attain a
maximum depth of about 1900 feet
upon being extended 1000 feet. The
vein in the tunnel is four feet wide
and carries a continuous stringer of
ore varying from about two inches at
the portal to u inches in the face.
The vein has also been exposed by
open cuts above the tunnel, and also
on tho oppoeita eide of tho craalr Tho
latter shows the vein to be eight feet
wide between we'll defined walls, the
vein carrying about a foot of quartz
through which there is liberal
sprinkling of galena. The develop !
ment of the property is in charge of |
Charles Nordquist The tunnel will !
be extended for time with the pres
ent hand facilities, and in the mean
time the management will arrange |
for the installation of a small gaso-
line or oil driven compressor. Later
a larger compressor will be put in and
electric power utilized, the transmits

Baxter if he knew anything about it.;
that his friend had spent a large sum
in its equipment and development and
that many years ago it was quite an
extensive producer of gold and silver
Mr.. Baxter told him that there was a
Silver King mine near Wardner, but
that it did not answer to that descrip-
ton and that il had never been owned
in Savannah. The story interested
Mr.. Baxter and later he corresponded
with Mr.. Myers and found that the
Silver King mine sought was near
Warren, in Idaho county. instead of
Wardner in this county. Mr. Myers
told Mr.. Baxter that the mine had
been extensively developed. had a mill
and other equipment, and that there
was fully 100000 worth of ore on the
dump. Mr.. Baxter thereupon decided
to look up this old mine which had
been all but forgotten with the view to
possibly restoring it to profitable OPP

MEET IN ST. JOHNSBURY
State Convention of American Legion
There i'm September

At a meeting of the State execu-
tive committee of the American Le-
gion it was decided to hold the State
convention of the Legion at ST.
Johnsbury on September Is and 16.
Adjutant Allen Fletcher was in
structed to invite Secretary of War
John w. Weeks and Major General
Clarence r. Edwards to attend the
convention.
A letter was read by Adjutant
Fletcher from Vice-President Calvin
Coolidge, stating that he would be
unable to attend the State convention
of the Legion because of a proposed
trip to a meeting of the American
Bar association to be held at San
Francisco, Calf, at about the same
date.
A report of the membership show
ed that IA posts have exceed their
1921 membership and that the leader
in the race for the membership ban
ner on June first was Thetford Post,
No. 79, of Thetford Center which had
rs per cent greater membership
than it attained last year. Thetford
Post was followed closely by Green
Mountain Post of St. Adams in the
race for the membership banner to be
awarded on August Is to the post
showing the greatest percentage in
crease over it's 1921 membership.

Lime Suitable for Use in the Prepar-
alton of Spraying Materials.

(By r. c.. Parker, agronomist, East
ern Bureau, National Lime Associa-
ton, $50 Worthington Street, Spring
field, Mass.)
Lines suitable for use in the pre-
paration of spraying materials should
be sharply distinguished from lime
suitable for use on the soil. A wide
variety of materials can be used for
the latter purpose, the limiting factor
being the cost of effective oxides;
but for spraying purposes high
grade burnt lime having particular
properties is required This includes
only a high grade lump lime, gran
ular quick lime, and hydrated lime
of the high calcium type for making
both lime-sulphur and bordeaux mix
ture. Magnesium is Objectionable.
This is not because it has any direct
harmful effect on the product beyond
the fact that it produces an undue
amount of sediment which tends to
clog the nozzles. This trouble be-
comes very serious with lime con.
tanning more than 10 per cent. OF
magnesium and ordinarily it is des1r-
able to use lime containing not
more than one to three per cent. of
magnesia. Further, lime suitable Tor
use in the preparation OF spraying
material should be practicall-- free
from carbonates and other inert sub
stances since they result in the form
alton of a sediment which also tends
to clog the nozzles when spraying.

RIDING LION
Big Added Attraction with Walter L.
Main Circus.

A big added attraction to the Wal
ter l.. Main circus, which will spread
it's acres of tents in Lyndonvllle Tues
day, June 20, and on Wednesday,
June Fl, in Newport, is Captain Will
sons trained wild animal show, pre-
sented in two mammoth steel arenas
as the Introductory feature of the cir
Gus performance. In these steel dens
are presented sensational, death-de-
fying stunts by groups of lions, tlg-
ers, pumas, leopards and other beasts
of the Jungle There are two groups
of monster Nubian lions who perform
heretofore unheard-of tricks, forming
pyramids, rolling globes, jumping
through hoops of fire, and always re-
spending to the will of the trainer. A
new and distinctive feature is the
first appearance in this country of
Wilson'S group of trained Nubian
lions. including Duke, the only lion
in the world that has been taught
to ride a horse. Then there is SEN
sational feature in the assembling Of
a group comprised of two lions and
a dog, who sit around table and eat
a meal in perfect harmony. A lady
trainer feeds these lions raw meat
with her bare hands.
Added to the wild animal portion
of the circus is a group of trained
seals and sea lions, who not only
prove adopts at feats of Juggling, but
play musical instruments as well, an
old-fashioned barn-yard circus, in
which trained pigs play an important
part, riding dogs and monkeys, and
three well trained bears whose antics
are most mirthful. Trained elephants
contribute astonishing stunts, and the
half hours program of animal acts
is said to be one of the most pleasing
features of the long circus perform

GROWING THE DAIRY CALF

That the amount of milk a cow
gives depends largely on the feed and
care she receives from the time she
becomes a calf until she produces a
calf is an established fact in the
minds of all successful dairymen.
That a calf we'll grown becomes a
cow well known is fact most dairy
men should adopt in their herds, and
to aid them in growing their calves
better the following suggestions will
be found practical.
Summer Care.
During the rush of work in the
summer months calves get neglected
on many farms, feeding is irregular,
utensils are not kept clean and get
sour, calves are turned to pasture too
soon, scours develop, and as a result
"a calf's growth is impaired and it
will never make the cow it would
More and more dairymen are learn
ing each year that it does not pay to
turn calves out to pasture too young.
AS a general policy it is not practical
to give calves access to pasture be-
fore they are four months old, and
even then care should be taken not
to let them have too much grass at
first. Milk and grain should be fed
regularly to supplement pasture feed,
and calves should be protected from
the hot sun and storms. Many men
let their calves run on grass at an
earlier stage thon four months, and
troubles are often caused thereby.
Water and Salt for Calves.
Calves, like other farm animals,
get thirsty, even though milk forms
a large part of their ration. Calves
three months of age will drink as
much as five quarts of water daily
per head. They like to drink often,
slipping little at a time. A half bar
rel, cleaned and replenished twice
daily, will serve nicely as water
trough. Another good device is an
automatic waterer, which may be cas-
lily cleaned, situated little above the
floor to keep out the litter. Salt is
essential to the development of the
calf, as of other animals, and should
be kept continually available.
To Avoid Calf Scours.
Thoroughly clean and scald calf
pals daily. Keep feed boxes clean.
Do not overfeed. Many of our
best dairymen seldom feed over IL
lbs. milk per day at any age of the
calf.
The feeding of milk, cold or sour.
or the feeding of milk sweet one meal
and sour the next are other serious
causes of scours.
The feeding of grain in the milk
may interfere with digestion and
cause serious trouble.
Regularity of care and feeding. the
same time each day with uniform
quantity and quality of milk has
| much to do in maintaining healthy
lcondition of the calf.
The successful calf feeder will
watch his calves closely and at the
first signal of scours will cut dow1
the supply of milk; at this time q
couple tablespoons of castor oil ir
scalded milk may effect cure. Per-
sistent cases will require more siren
uous treatment.

SEVENTH FIELD ARTILLERY
Now Stationed at Fort Ethan Allen
Its New Home

The Seventh Field Artillery, part
of the First Brigade of the First Div
ision, which achieved such remark
able reputation during the late war,
is now stationed at Fit. Ethan Allen
it's new home, they having recently
arrived by marching from Camp Dix,
m. j., where they have been stationed
since October IT, 1920.
This famous regiment was organic
ed in July 1916, by Colonel Samuel
Sturgiss, Commanding, while on the
Texas border, receiving its enlisted
personal from the 3rd and 9Th Field
Artillery, it's station being Camp
Wilson, San Antonio, Texas. Here it
perfected its organization and train
ing, firing at Leon Springs. On June
LIST, 1919 however, 2-3 of organiza-
ton was split up to form nucleus
of the 18th and Goth Field Artillery
1t Immediately received it's full quota
of recruits, however, who were taken
in hand and put through a course of
rigid training.
On July ID, 1917, the regiment left
Camp Wilson for Hoboken, N. j.,
sailing from this port July 81, 1917,
and arriving at st. Nazaire, France,
August Is, 1917.
This regiment received two cita-
tons, while overseas, and 10 letters
of commentator from various Divi-
sion and Corps Commanders, and is
entitled to wear the French Fourra-
gere.
Among it's brilliant commanders
were such Generals as Major General
Henley, BrigadierN General Holbrook,
Colonel Sands and Ruggles.
It's present commander is Colonel
II. l.. Newbold, who is DESTROYS of

BIG ICICLES BLOCKED TRAIN
Serious Delay Caused by Freak Tenn
perature in Tunnel Through the
Cascade Mountains.

Huge icicles stopped transconti-
mental train in a Cascade mountain
tunnel for several hours until the OBJ
structions were cut away. Water
dripping from some mysterious source
poured through the roof and formed
into icicles three feet In diameter,
blocking the tracks. The train, NOV
ing at snail pace, was brought to a
stop within few feet Of the blockade
and delayed for some time while the
Ice columns were sawed off, During
this operation the wheels of the engine
froze to the rails and jets of steam
had to be used to free them. The tenn
perature in this one tunnel has always
been mystery. The interior of most
tunnels is usually warmer than the
temperature at the portals. but In the
single instance boar frost sometimes
forms on the steel rails several inches
thick
