ivan WILLIAMSON In
MIX-UP WITH WAGON

Ivan Williamson, proprietor of the
peculiar accident Friday evening, as
a result of which he is likely to off
the job for some days. He was haul
ing a heavy load of accumulated old
iron and other junk from the Moscow
Trading company's store, on Third
street, using a wagon trailer behind
his truck. In making the turn into
Washington street, on the down grade
the coupling between the two vehicles
gave way, turning the heavily load
ed wagon loose. In order to save
some automobiles parked on the
street, toward which the wagon was
headed, Williamson sprang out of the
truck and seized the wagon pole, to
deflect the wagon from it's course.
The wagon was too heavy for him and
he was thrown down and his leg
crushed between the wagon wheel
and the curb, bruising it severely and
lacerating the flesh. His shoulder
was also severely sprained, and is
more painful than the leg.
In leaving the truck, Williamson
endeavored to throw it into neutral,
but instead threw it into low and the
heavy vehicle continued on down
Washington street, finally coming to
stop against the corner of the fire
station, with but little damage, aside
from badly bent fender.
Considering the conditions, Will
hanson is inclined to think that he
escaped rather luckily, as some brok-
en- bones might easily have accomp-
anied the accident.

,ONAWAY MERCHANT TRACES
BURGLARY TO YOUNG BOYS

Finding that quantity of goods
had been apparently stolen from his
store, T. G. Thompson, owner of a
secondhand shop at Onaway, near
Potlatch, came to the sheriff's office
last Thursday to obtain a search
warrant through which he hoped to
recover his property Before issuing
"a warrant, Grant Robbins, deputy
sheriff of Latah county, accompan-
led Mr.. Thompson to Onaway, where
he made a thorough investigation OF
the situation.
The investigation revealed the
facts that the store had been entered
by removing screws from the lock
on the door and SO opening it, and
that the crime was committed by
about five boys whose ages ranged
from to Ia years.
All of the stolen goods, which in
cluded four rifles, a set of harness,
a surveyors compass, and a number
of carpenters tools, were recovered.
The offense of the boys ives con-
sidered of such nature that punish
ment by their parents was sufficient.

who was to have presided, introduced
the speaker.
Dr. Jessee spoke principally OF the
propaganda being circulated now in
an effort to nu1lify the Volstead law,
and said that the foes of prohibition
did not expect to have the eighteenth
amendment repealed, but were rather
working to make it ineffective.
The blame for the effort to bring
back the saloon by the beer and
light wines route, was placed large
1y on the German brewers and large
number of notification organizations,
operating under their direction. He
said that the American people, who
always win in the right, will win in
the right against the liquor traffic,
definitely and permanently. The es-
sential thing. at the present time.
he said, is to elect officers who will
enforce the laws.
Practically all the churches of the

REAL CONVENIENCES AND COM

st. Louis.-(A. P.)-Farm women
want definite place and a definite
way to serve more adequately and eff

paper by Mrs. w. G. Martin of Dallas,
Tex, read at today's session of the

Our purposes are threefold: Eco
nOmic, social and educational" Mrs.
Martin said, "No state or national or
ganizatiOn can be successful which
does not deal with community prob
lens and meet community needs.
"We need to bring into our farm
homes, and into our rural districts,
more of the real spirit of community
life. The time has come when the
farmer and the community must be
associated for protection as we'll as
we'll as for advancing the rural peo
pie. Unorganized, disrupted, selfish
communities have often been impos-
ed upon.
when Farm Bureau women get to-
gether and discuss household affairs
of common interest, such as house
hold management, hygenic problems,
cooking, sanitation, labor saving de-
vices, marketing of butter and eggs,
enterprises of social, literary, musi-
cal and artistic interest, ways are
sure to be found to overcome many
obstacles"

IMMENSE COAL PROJECT
POSSIBLE in THIS COUNTY
Castleman Valley Railroad APP
plicatiOn Brings To Light
Development Plans

Through the application Monday of
the Castleman Valley Railroad Comp
any to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for permission to acquire and
operate the Northern Maryland and
Tidewater Railroad, it became known
that big coal project in Garrett CO.
unity is well under way and will prob
ably be considered expanded in the
near future.
The Northern Maryland and Title
water is the old Jennings Railroad,
running 1879 miles from one Of the
Morgart mines in Garrett county,
Maryland, along the Castleman river
to Worth, Pa, on the Salisbury
branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. 1t was acquired some time
ago from the Jennings heirs by a
group Of capitalists, headed by Will
lam E. Ambrose and r. J. Ross, of
Cumberland, and the name changed
to the Northern Maryland and Tide
water.
The road runs through a tract of
5000 acres Of coal land owned by
William A. Morgart, of Cumberland
and by a recent deal Mr.. Morgart and
number Of associates acquired the
interests of Messrs. Ambrose, Ross
and their associates.
During the time the Ross-Ambrose
interests owned the road application
was made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for recognition as COM
mon carrier, in order that the road
might collect its share Of freight
charges made on shipments originat-
ing on the road. The request was
granted.
Now, it is understood, that inciden-
tai to the reorganization under the
name Of the Castleman Valley Rail
road, some financing will be done to
provide funds for retracking and ulti-
mately extending the road to Meyers
dale, Pa, on the Western Maryland
Railroad
All these plans for the railroad,
however, are understood to be Incl
dental to the plans for developing the
Morgart coal holdings. Already there
are 10 mines going in the tract, all Of
them on the railroad. The coal is I'M
derstood to be Of unusually fine quail
ity, although seams are thin in many
places, neccssitating the use Of ponies
to haul mine cars. Other mines, it is
understood, will be opened from time
to time
The project is already being watch.
ed with interest in the western part
Of the State, where many thoughtful
people are wondering whether Gar
rett county will not be the future
coal county of Maryland, in view Of
the fact that many of the mines in
the Georges Greek section and other
parts of Allegany county are being
worked out.
