Allen Moore Passes Away

Information reached the Herald last
week just before the time of going to
press that Warren, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Moore, of Seattle, had died
following an operation for appendi-
citis.
Mrs. e. E. Fry received a letter this
week from Mrs. Faucet in which
Mrs. Faucet states that it was not
Warren but his twin brother, Allen
Moore who died. Allen had been very
sick with pneumonia and during the
attack developed severe case of ap-
pendicitis. DR.. Faucet, who is the
Moore family physician, called sew
eral Seattle physicians in consultation
and it was decided that the boys only
chance lay in an operation. Allen
went through the operation nicely but
Saturday night a week ago, he began
failing and passed away Sunday morn
ing.

ballads, far more than the technical
selections.
Between road conferences visits were
made to the offices of various state
officials and to a number of state in
stitutions. Commissioner Welch and
County Auditor Brody found that the
state highway department had a large
quantity of shovels, picks, scrapers
and road construction equipment
which could be bought for about one
third the prices asked by the machin-
cry houses and a selection will prob
ably be made which will save the
county several thousand dollars.
Among the former Bonners Ferry
folks met on the trip were Miss Dor
othy Squirting and Mr.. and Mrs. Bart
lett Sinclair. Miss Squirting is one of
the proprietors of a prosperous res
taurant business in Nampa, where she

Fred and Ed Carnagey and Billy
Yerkes, all of Meadow Creek, were ar
rested Sunday near Whites camp by
Deputy Forest Supervisor Breen, of
Standpoint, and Forest Ranger Frank
B. easier, of Copeland, on the charge
of hunting out of season in a forest
reserve.
The defendants were brought to
Bonners Ferry and on Monday were
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
A. ]. Kent. Fred Carnagey entered
plea of guilty claiming that the deer
found in the possession of the trio
had been shot by him. He was fined
500 and costs. The rifle was con-
fiscated and was sold at public auc-
ton, as was also the deer.
Ed Carnagey and Billy Yerkes en-
tered pleas of not guilty and de-
manded jury trials. The juries were
not able to agree on a verdict and
were dismissed by Justice Kent and
the defendants were discharged.

NJ. Il. Ladies Aid Entertained

The ladies of the NJ e. Aid society
spent very pleasant day last Thurs
day at the home of Mr.. and Mrs J.
T. Lawless. About "a members met at
Simonds Drug store at $40, where
sleighs and cheerful drivers were in
waiting. After delightful ride they
arrived at the Lawless home in time
for dinner that was sure a treat,
and to which all did ample justice.
The one thing to mar the pleasure of
the day, as so many remarked, was
the absence of the hostess daughter,
Mrs. Goodman. After several hours
of social chat sleighs were brought to
the door and all were soon homeward
bound, thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Lawless
for their hospitality.

WORK is PROGRESSING AT IDAHO
CONTINENTAL Mine AT KLOCKMANN

THE tractor makes a round trip be-
tween the mine and the railroad in
80 hours and hauls four loaded sleighs
in four to five feet of snow. 1t has
been in service for a month.
"The production of concentrates was
suspended year ago, but develop
ment has been proceeding in the in
terim. Several months ago, we began
to drive the No. s tunnel. The bore
has reached the 1600-foot point and
will be run into 1t for a long distance.
The tunnel will add 500 to 900 feet OF
backs. 1t will open on the mill level
and remove the need for a 1200-foot
tramway with which the ore has been
removed from the No. tunnel. The
mill will be placed in commission on
April / to 10 when improvements pro-
ceeding will have been completed.
Satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned from ore shipped to the Bunker
Hill smelter and excellent treatment
has been given us by the company. A
saving In freight charges will be made
by shipping to the Bunker Hill and
because of the partnership in the lease
we will benefit from the technical ad--
vice of the Bunker Hill staff In our
mining and milling operations"

Old Time Flu Invading Idaho

DR.. F. W. Almond, medical advisor
of the state department of public well
fare, is issuing warning and eau
tion, to the people of the state that
the dread epidemic of "flu" is billed
for return engagement in Idaho and
will likely be in full swing by early
spring, as there are number of cases
developing in the state at the present
time.
DR.. Almond warns people who are
OF low vitality, or who are subject to
colds, who are under nourish@d or
through neglect or wrongful habits
have permitted their vitality to run
down, that they are in a condition to
contract the disease.
He warns people against the idea
which seems to prevail in some places
that just because they have had one
attack of the flu that they are i'm
mune; you can have the flu a dozen
times, IL you could survive that many
attacks, he states, and the fact thai
you have had 1t means that your sys.
tenn is open to future attack and thai
you are less able to resist the disease
The disease is epidemic in some sec
| tions of the state at the present time
with as many as 40 cases reported
from one neighborhood-

Satisfactory results are attending
the development OF the Idaho Conti-
mental mine under the partnership of
A. Klockmann and the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining and Concentrating
company, according to Mr.. Hickman
The partnership was formed after the
issuance of a new lease to Mr.. Klock-
mann in July last. The lease is for
five years and requires the payment
of 1915 a ton on concentrates and
crude ore taken from the property by
the lessee. The property is 26 miles
from Porthill, and four miles from the
Canadian boundary.
The movement of concentrates in
storage is proceeding to the Bunker
Hill smelter. The lessee has 1000 tons
at the flume camp, IA miles from the
mine, 200 tons at the mine, 100 tons
at Porthill and shipped 1900 tons last
fall, it is stated. The concentrates
contain so to 20 per cent lead and 29
to "a ounces of silver to the ton The
absence of zinc makes them ideal for
smelling.
"The movement is being effected
with a Holt caterpillar tractor OF 10
ton weight, equipped especially for
this service" said Mr.. Klockmanr

RoBT. THOMPSON PASSES AWAY
P0rthIll Rancher lis Victim of Spinal
Meningitis-Funeral Held Monday.

Robert Thompson, aged AZ years,
died at the Klockmann river camp,
at Porthill, last Saturday afternoon,
of spinal meningitis, after an illness
of only short time.
Funeral services were held at the
l. o. o. f. hall at Porthill at two

ing conducted by Rev. Mr.. Asher. The

$4,000 ACRES CLOVER PRODUCED
so Per Cent of Red Glover Seed Is
Condemned After Analysis.

The preliminary statement form the
1921 annual report on Idaho agricul-
ture completed by the Idaho crop re-
porting service and cooperating agen-
cies shows that 4,S60,000 pounds of red
clover were produced in Idaho this
last season from 1870 acres at a value
OF $43,SS per acre. Practically all of
this seed has been shipped out of the
state.
Seed laboratory tests show that so
per cent of the red clover samples
received for analysis were condemned
on account of noxious weed Seeds
The presence of noXious weeds, prin-
cipally dodder-in red clover this sea-
son has resulted in loss to the grow
ers of approximately 100000. This is
an enormous sum lost by carelessness
in buying seed for planting and in car
ing for the field before harvest.
The growers have realized the inn
portance Of clean seed this past sea-
son. as the quality of the seed deter
mined the price received for Ii. A
large acreage of clover will be planted
this spring and consequently seed win
be shipped into the state from all
sources. 1t is up to the farmers and
dealers in this state to purchase
first class product-in other words
seed which is dodder free and con-
forms to the requirements Of the state
seed law A lot OF seed labeled 99.5
per cent pure is no guarantee that
that lot of seed will pass the state seed
law. 1t may contain in excess of 81
noxious weed seeds per pound and
consequently be condemned.
Each lot of seed should be labeled
as follows (a) name of agricultural
seed; (b)name and address of the per-
son selling, offering and exposing for
sale such seed; (c) grade, date of
grade and grader; I'D the kinds and
number per pound of noxious weed
seeds contained therein, using their
common names.
If the purchaser is dubious about the
quality of the seed which he may have
purchased, 1t Is simple matter to
send two-ounce sample to the state
seed laboratory for analysis. This
service is rendered free of charge to
the grower. The point is, get your
seed early. Purchase it from reli-
able source and If in doubt submit
sample to the state seed laboratory at
Boise.
A few cents an acre more for seed
that is free from noxious weeds is a.
profitable investment This expendi-
ture can be perforated over period of
two or three years. Experiments show
that weed seeds live longer than do
the seeds of economic crops. There
is an old adage which runs as follows
zone years seeding demands seven
years wedding" This is true of weed
seeds. Pay the price for good seed
and save the expense of hiring addi-
tional help to cut the weeds out later
Save the enormous loss incurred by
weeds. Idaho is the greatest seed pro-
ducing state in the Union. Improve
the quality by planting seed which
passes the state requirements.-C. b.
Allison, state seed commissioner.
