SELL LOCAL FRUIT IN DAKOTis
Walker and Brown Dispose OF Six
Carloads Boundary County Apples.

A. r. Walker, a prominent fruit
grower of this county returned the
first of the week from North Dakota
points where he and Tony Brown. a
fluitgrower Of the Copeland district,
recently went to dispose of six car
loads OF fine winter apples. Mr.
Brown has not yet returned home.
Mr. Walker states that he and Mr.
Brown found keen competition in
North Dakota as apples are plentiful
this year and this territory has been
invaded by growers and selling
agencies of Michigan, the Bitter Root
valley III Montana, Wenatchee, Spo-
kane valley and Southern Idaho, the
fruit selling for from $3.50 to $3.50 q
box.
He sold one car straight and an
other on consignment at an average
price of $1.S5 per box. Both he and
Mr.. Brown shipped to South Dakota
on consignment.
Mr.. Walker said that he found the
farmers in North Dakota hard up for
money and the banks very strict about
making loans. There was a large
crop of potatoes raised but the grow
ers have been forced to leave them in
the ground on account of no price
being offered large enough To make it
pay to dig them and there being no
storage facilities. The wheat grow
ers are also hit by low prices although
the market has been on the rise the
last ten days. South Dakota is better
off than North Dakota according ia
Mr.. Walkers Investigations.
He figures that he made money by
doing his own shipping and market
ing rather than making consign-
ment in the first place

INVITE BONNERS FERRY PEOPLE
TO INSPECT NEW POWER
PLANT AT MOVIE SPRINGS
STUMP BURNER DEMONSTRATION
Commercial Club Would Encourage
Land Clearing I'm County.

County Agent Alexander told the
members OF the Kootenai Valley Com
mercial Club, at the regular meeting
Monday night, that he was endeavor-
ing to secure demonstration in the
near future in Boundary county of a
new stump burner which is being
operated most successfully, it is
claimed, on coast logged off lands.
The stump burner was described
several months ago by Mr.. Graham.
immigration agent for the Great
Northern Railway Co., when he at
tended one OF the commercial club
meetings. He said that the burner
was successfully burning the larger
stumps, that several of the burners
could be operated by one man at
time. and that the burner could be
used on number of stumps each day.
to start the burning process.
The commercial club authorized
County Agent Alexander to investi-
gate the burner and if he found il
practical, to buy one at the expense of
the club for use in demonstrating on
Boundary county farms in hopes of
encouraging more land clearing
Mr.. Alexander also announced that
the annual potato show would be held
in Spokane next week and urged all
Bonners Ferry people who might be
in Spokane, to attend. He said there
would be several exhibits OF seed po-
tatCes from this county
A committee composed of ID. NJ
Palmer. o. r Stookey and IL. |. Monks
was requested to find out the cost of
bronze tablet to be placed in the
new city hall building in honor of the
Boundary county men who died in the
service of their country in the World
War The tablet is to contain the
names OF all the Boundary county
heroes
Some time was spent in discussing
plans for the proposed municipal
swimming pool and it was suggested
that the commercial club swimming
pool committee ask each organization
of the city to name a representative
to act as a member of a committee
! to devise ways and means of raising
money for the pool Quite a large
sum has already been raised for the
swimming pool fund and if interest is
kept up this winter the money can be
easily raised by giving dances, enter
tainments, etc.
II. II. Hughes, manager of the city
water and electric department. an
nounced that the new electric power
plant on the Moyie river, would be
completed by November 30 and that
the commercial club committee an
pointed TO make arrangements for a

lected November 30th for the day.
Expert power plant men from al
parts of the United States who have
visited the Bonners Ferry plant, state
that it is one of the most modern tc

The first basketball game of the
season will be played the evening OF
November q at the high school gym
nasium between boys and girls
teams picked from the members of
the Athenian and Olympian Literary
societies of the Bonners Ferry high

this game which annually opens the
basketball season in this county.
Coach Bonman will select members
of the high school basketball team
after this game and the fans will all
be present to size up the material
which he will endeavor to train for
champions.
There has always been. and is this
year, intense rivalry between the has-
ketball teams of the two literary So
cities and it is certain that the games
on Nov. "a will be hotly contested
Coach Bonman states that the sched-
ule for this season will consist Of II
games, six of which will be played on
the local floor and in the gymnasium
of the new high school building.
Eight of the seasons games have al
ready been arranged and the first
game played on the local floor will be
against Standpoint high school on Jan
uary 6. Games will be arranged this
year with the Libby. Mont. high
school team also.
Mr.. Bonman says he has a likely
crowd of basketball players reporting
regularly for practice and that there
is a good chance this year for the
home five to develop speed and team
work that will win champion honors

And This Time Snakes.

Grown men and women gathered
at a public dinner in New York the
other night to discuss snakes. They
even brought copperheads and rat
tiers with them. They solemnly
talked of teaching the farmer how
valuable the non-poisonous snakes
are to him. That sort of stuff, as
every farmer knows. is piffie. The
best friends OF agriculture, so far as
the destruction OF insects goes, are
birds and toads; and snakes kill
both Of these.
Aside from the practical side Of
the matter, II is rather pathetic to
see persons OF supposed intelligence
wasting theirs time on snakes when
there are so many real problems to
tackle, so many genuinely interesting
subjects to develop.
Science can deal with the poison
Gus snake and discover antitoxins
with which to Offset his venom. But
outside the laboratory the best way
to handle snakes is with a shotgun
or a hoe.

some OF the artistic crimes OF which
the actor managers were declared to
be guilty.
While the diagnosis of a distin-
guished writer may be interesting
so far as London goes. nobody would
maintain tia. laYpers alone are at
fault for what may be wrong in our
own theater. We have no syndi-
Gates, so there Is no ground for worry
on that score. 1t is not, indeed, diff
cult to a regular theatergoer to put
his finger on some OF the causes for
the lack OF prosperity In our own
drama.
Half dozen of these causes have
been especially conspicuous lately.
How any manager presenting plays
of kind common during the pres
ent season could persuade himself
that he was going to satisfy the re-
quirements of the public it is not
easy to imagine. In a year of dis
eliminating ticket buying such rose
ate optimism may be magnificent, but
it is not good business. 1t Is explana-
ton enough Of the state of the
theater. There is no need TO drag in
the fapper.

NEW SOPRANO MAKES DEBUT.
Miss Augusta Redyn Discloses
Voice of Good Quality.

Miss Augusta Redyn. mezzo soprano
was heard for the first time here In a
song recital in Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. Her program was planned APP
parently to exhibit as comprehensively
as possible her versatility in style and
Interpretation. as well as to test the
range and quality of her voice. Opera
was represented by the familiar 'Invo-
cation" of Orfeo from Peri's "Euridice''
and Gluck's more iemiliar "Divinties
du Styx." There We're German lieder
by Ries, Mendolssohn and Strauss and
ErencA, Russian and English songs. Miss
Redyn was content to sing the Russian
lyrics in French.
The singer disclosed voice of good
natural quality, especially rich and pow
erful in the medium, which, as was 70 be
expected, she managed better than the
upper and lower ranges. Her technic
showed that she had reached competent
instruction, but not enough OF 1t. 1t
seemed as jf the lady had emerged into
the glare of the footlights somewhat pre-
maturely. But 1t is within the bounds
of possibility that she can make career
as singer. if her ambition does not out
run her powers. She was heard by a
friendly audience and received many
bouquets.

BY w. J. HENDERSON.

The ninth concert Of the Philadelphia
Orchestra took place last evening in
Carnegie Hall. The program was ar
ranged to meet the needs Of all sorts
and conditions Of men. For persons OF
fantastic inclinations. fond Of the
ghostly mysteries Of the deep. there was
Wagner's Flying Dutchman" overture.
For those cherishing affectionate men,
cries of dear old times now far away
there was Mendelssohn's Scotch" SYM
phony. compoundedeof some Scotch npu-
sic and much German seltzer, COM
forting orchestral highball of historical
type. For those who enjoy beholding
man battling with trouble there was
D'Albert's cello concerto. with Hans
Kinder as the solo performer. And
finally for ladies and gentlemen who
enjoy musical tragedies bristling with
agonies and concluding with celestial
rapture. there was Strauss's Death
and TRANSPORTATION" y
Wagner's overture retains its vitality
in spite of all the modernizations OF
music, the new methods OF depicting
storm and stress and the discoveries OF
new oceans to be painted only in jade
green. aurealin and periwinkle blue. The
performance OF the composition was Wig
orous in the extreme. The winds blew
and the waves roared the poor Hol-
lander beat vafniy at the point OF the
cape and SentG hymned a salvation badly
needed. Vanderdecken was not KING
Lear, but one could fancy him declaim-
ing BLOW, winds and crack your cheeks"
At any rate the blowers of brass some
times seemed to be trying to do 1t.
Otherwise the overture was brilliantly
performed.
The same deprecatory observation as to
winds might apply to the playing of the
peaceful symphony Of Mendelssohn. who
was too much of a gentleman to be an
Ossian and ride on the breast of the
storm. Otherwise the symphony. which
was performed without pauses between
movements, was admirably done. The
finesse of the orchestra was exhibited in
It to great advantage. Mr.. d'Albert's
concerto is good work In its kind, not
a masterpiece, but something with which
a competent cellist with good tone can
accomplish much to his own glory. Mr..
Kinder is such cellist and the audience
approved Of what he did.
About the Strauss work only this need
be said. We have had a magnificent
feast of Strauss this season. Every one
has had his readings and the singular
old musician who composed the Strauss
pieces has had his. Curiously enough

Union longshoremen say that If
there is a coal strike next Saturday
they will refuse to unload foreign
coal coming to our seaports in Amer
lean and other bottoms. II they
carry out their threat they will be
refusing to do what they are doing
now and have been doing for
months. They will show as we'll the
monumental stupidity of sympathetic
strikes.
Foreign coal has been coming here
in gradually increasing quantities
because at existing costs of mining
and shipping domestic coal to the
seaboard the foreign product could
undersell our own. There could be
no better proof than this fact that
there is imperative need of getting
both the mining and the shipping
costs of American coal down so as to
enable it to sell in export markets
upon which our bituminous industry
has depended to dispose OF It's large
surplus pIOuuSI.
If American coal cannot sell In
our own ports against foreign coal,
what chance on earth does anybody
think American coal could have to
sell against such foreign coal across
the seas? And what chance on earth
has the American coal industry to
keep American coal miners at work
in full force, strike or no strike,
when its export markets are gone?
AS for the attitude of the long
shoremen at this juncture, it is as
near to certainty as anything can be
that IL there is a nationwide strike
the foreign coal will come here in
very much greater volume than 1t
already is coming, whether the union
longshoremen handle 1t or not. There
never has been a time in the coal
history OF the country when coal
shortage did not always develop
plenty of ways and plenty of people
to move any coal that men could lay
their hands on. The coal that finds its
way to our shores from abroad will
be bunkered into other ships to drive
them and will be transshipped to fac
tories, public utilities and other con-
sumers IL those factories, public utn-
tiles and other consumers have to
do THE whole Job themselves.
The longshoremen in this and
other harbors can put themselves
out of work, along with the striking
coal miners, by refusing to handle
foreign coal right in our harbors, but
they cannot keep American consum-
ers from getting 1t and using 1t when
Il is within their very grasp.

Columbus Avenue Cars.
Needed for the Traffic Of a Growing
City Within the City.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: My at
tention has been called to the recon-
mendation to the Transit Commission
made by d. t. Turner to remove the
street car tracks from the surface of
Columbus avenue and to divert street
car traffic to Central Park West. So
far as the Hotel Belleclaire and my
personal interests are concerned. they
probably would be benefited by the
changes Mr.. Turner suggests, but the In
terest of community should be above
those OF an individual.
This part OF the city will suffer II the
Columbus avenue tracks are torn out.
cannot believe that Mr.. Turner or his
associates have made any recent study
of the problems involved. Few people
realize the tremendous forward strides
that are being made by this part of the
city west OF Central Park and between
Fifty-ninth and 10th streets.
Here great city within a great city
Is being constructed. Our hotel popula-
ton is greater than was the hotel popu-
lation of the entire city of New York
not so many years ago. The short haul
on the street car lines is coming to be a
matter of increasing Importance to this
part of the West Side.
1t would be calamity to have the
Columbus avenue cars removed and
believe that every person who has prop
erty or business interests here should
make vigorous protest.
