A picked sample assayed By
Stowell & Co. OF Spokane showed
s6.4 per cent Head. 1897 ounces
OF silver and 7.s ounces of gold.
The ore body is said to be
from 6 to 16 feet wide. Within
the veins are streaks OF high
grade from two inches to two
feet wide. containing two 20
three ounces Of gold and 100
to 40 ounces Of silver to the

oording to statement of s. b.

Ends SO-year Search
Mr.. Holbert told the Spokes-
man-ReVieW.
1.-THE discovery ends a search
OF 80 years in which $25O,OOOI
was expended by one man, an
early banker OF Libby. and minor
sums each by sig other stock
holders, 500 OF them residents
OF the Inland Empire. The
scene of the disclosure is at
depth Of 700 feet on the dip. On
the strike Of the vein there is
5000 feet ahead. Behind, there
is a maze Of disappointing work
ings. which, too, may ultimately
be turned to a value.
THE ore has been opened by
three raises in a horizOntical
length of 200 feet. AS slopes
were opened the production was
Increased. This pyramiding may
continue. The strike is declared
to be the greatest made in the
Libby district
Thirty years ago, at the top
OF Shaughnessy hill. the first
strike was made. From it sew

81 to SO to the ton. were shipped
in crude form. The disclosure
inspired purchase Of the group
by C. Ed Lukens who named the
company the Lukens-Hazel.
From near the bottom of a

Firen7en SaUe
Father Of Ten

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7. U.PE -
The grim 197-hour battle three
members of the fire department
pulmoGor squad Waged against
death was successfully concluded
today when John Towning, father
Of 10 children, was reported out of
danger.
' On December %, the squad, COM
posed of Capt. William Helldoorn,
and Firemen G. j. Butler and G.
Sine, took up the fight to defeat
a complication Of double pneumo-
MIA and asthma that threatened
the life of Towning, 65. Night and
day, the firemen alternated at the
pulmotor which gradually restored
the patient to normal breathing.
Today he gleefully told his rescu-
ers he was breathing better than
for years"
But the tired firemen had other
work to do. They slept only few
hours when an emergency call came
from the home of Evelyn Phread-

DISTRICT OUTLINES NECESSITY
FOR ELECTIONS NEXT THURSDAY

cember are not yet available but
it viii probably equal the July de-
linquency.
Notwithstanding the big delin-
quency year ago December the
district met its bond obligations.
In July there were 100000 interest,
in round numbers, and 100000
principal to be paid. The district
paid about twc-thirds of this
amount and the balance remains
unpaid and is drawing seven per
cent interest. On the first day of
this month little more than $400,-
900 more interest was due-none of
it has been paid. Next July there
will be another $4,000 in interest
and S350,000 principal due. There
will be no money to meet these OBJ
legations. Similar obligations will
be coming due every January and
July thereafter AS we have stated,
the board has no discretion but to
levy assessments to cover these
amounts, not only that which is
Immediately coming due, but that
which is past due and unpaid. 1t
can readily be appreciated that as
sessments large enough to meet
these mounting obligations could
not be paid under these conditions.
When pyramiding thus starts the
elements of financial disaster have
been created
The refunding plan is designed to
remedy these conditions and moth
ing else, as these conditions will ra-
pidly become very serious if not
remedied. With social bonds ma
turing as ours are, experience has
shown that refunding is the only
practicable solution.
Monday we will discuss the de-
tails of the plan.

Dispute Cause Of
Capital Blaze

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z. W.R-
Sabotage was considered by invest
igatorS today as a possible explain
alton of spectacular fire which
last night swept through scaffold-
ing and wooden forms surrounding
the steel skeleton of the uncom-
pleted interstate commerce COM
mission building
H. D. Watts, vice president OF
the Hames Stewart Co., contract
ors, said the fire was "as plain
a case of sabotage as I ever saw.
He added, however, that the COM
pany had not had any labor trou-
bles.
Fire Marshal Calvin LAUDER dis
puted Watts view. He expressed
belief that fire was started acci-
dentally, perhaps 10y a cigarette. -
Forty thousand dollars worth
of scaffolding and forms were des-
troyed. If the completed
steel framework of the building
was warped by the heat, the loss
will be far greater.

Heroic Act SaUes
Man From Death

LYNWOOD, Calf, Jan. z. U.P)-
Wallace Sampler thanked John
Ewing, state humane officer, today
for saving his life after he had ac-
cidentally been stabbed with hy-
podermic needle with which the
two were destroying dogs at the
local pound.
Sampler turned around suddenly,
jabbing his arm against the needle
Ewing held in his hand. Realizing
the effects of the of the deadly
poison, Sampler blanched
Its no use, there's nothing you
can do" he said.
Ewing placed his mouth to the
half-inch wound and sucked out
the poison before it could filter
through the blood stream.
Sampler suffered only tempo
rary nausea.

RADICAL NOTES
GIVEN TO BANK
BY DEPOSITORS

That Ell Centre bank depositors
are not to be swayed by the prop
aganda of Communists, contained
in poison notes mailed from Los
Angeles, has been thoroughly de-
monstrated to the satisfaction OF
Fred Gianola of the Bank of AM
erica.
Depositors, confident of the sta
bility of El Centro banks, have
turned over to bank officials sew
eral such notes, warning the de-
positors to withdraw their funds
from the bank because, the notes
said: the banks were going to close
Immediately.
These notes were mailed as a
part of Red propaganda coinci-
dent with the start of a hunger
march early this week. Like the
hunger march, the notes failed,
having no effect on sensible de-
positors.
Gianola credited warning which
appeared in The Press last week
with having the effect of coun-
terbalancing the poison notes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Expen-
diture of s1,756,177 by the federal
government on wild life has drawn
the fire of congressional economy
groups:
The house has reduced this fig
ure by 100000. Many members
felt that however desirable encour-
agement of wild bird and animal
life might be in normal times, in
times when thousands of children
were deprived of sufficient food,
the little brides would have to go
on short rations, too.
Eight new wild life refugees have
been established by the federal
government in the last year for
the protection of migratory birds.
A chain of them is being developed
in the west. These bird tourist
camps are being set up some 200
miles apart There are 16 refugees
in IA states, covering a total OF
250,OO0 acres.
One of the last refugees to be
decided upon was one just north OF
Sacramento, Calf. The federal
migratory bird conservation COM
mission, which consists Of several
cabinet members, senators and COLI
gressmen, reached their decision to
go ahead with this project fcr the
relief Of migratory birds on De-
cember 8, just as the last Of an
ether migratory flock, the human
hunger marchers, were being es-
corted out of town by federal po-
lice who had kindly allowed them
refuge for two winter nights on an
open circus lot in Washington.

ment's wild life projects in the up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. WD-
Representative Butler (Rep0 Ore

DISPOSAL ALOFTAXPAYER'SDOLLAR

Wyoming that occasioned the mem
orable senatorial junkets when ex-
pense accounts contained items for
500 tips, mineral water, fishing and
hunting licenses, and even soda
to take on boat"
Price Boosted
When the agricultural depart
ment appropriation bill was up in
the house a few days ago, an at
tempt was made to add to it ar
item providing for purchase of lane
in Barton county, Kansas, for a
bird refuge. Representative Hope
(Rep.) Kansas, said the refuge was
needed because it was the only one
for a distance of 300 miles in any
direction. Controversies over titles
had caused the government TO spend
$33 900 in surveys and investiga-
tionS.
Opponents declared that owners
of the rs tracts involved had run
up the price of the land from about
$3.50 an acre to as much as S2I
when congress showed signs OF in
terest in the project.
The BIOLOGICAL survey of the de-
partment Of agriculture also inter
ests itself in hunting down wolves
coyotes, bobcats and other stock
destroying animals. In pioneer days
each man kept the wolf from his
door by using his rifle or shotgun
But in these modern times the
federal government steps in ano
helps keep the wild animals killed
off. In the annual report OF the
biological survey, this government
bureau points with pride to the
fact it has assisted in killing 17.47s
bobcats. wolves and coyotes in
Texas in the last year, one-thirc
of these in Webb county alone. In
Oklahoma % wolves were taker
during the year and in Nebraska
SO coyotes were done to death.

CARPENTERS IN
CITY ORGANIZE
TO GET WORK

At a meeting last night about
35 Ell Centre carpenters organized
themselves as the Ell Centro Asso-
ciated Carpenters for the purpose
of giving better service and cooper
alton to the community, property
owners and contractors who en-
ploy them and also to program
of helpfulness to each other.
These men are all taxpayers or
voters who have lived here for
years, a representative said today,
and feel that all money spent for
building work should be kept at
home, for they are competent to
perform it efficiently and econom-
ically, and when the work is COM
pleted they remain here to stand
behind their work.
There have been several build
ings erected by outside labor re-
Gently the representative declared
and the payroll funds have been
taken away from this community,
! leaving our own neighborhood
builders idle and fast approaching
to the point where they will be un-
able to provide for their families.
1.-The organization is no part of
any labor union and neither is ii
part of any radical movement.
"They only ask their neighborG
j and civic organizations to allow
them to prove that they are equal to
or more efficient than outside car
| penters who may be brought from
somewhere else.
"Let's keep our building pay
rolls at home is our slogan" their

mense wreath of ferns interlaceo
with orchids. which had been sent
by the diplomatic corps at Wash
ington.
Outside the red brick edifice
iamming the sidewalks and crowd
ing the hillside nearby, we're fully
5000 citizens. Silently they watched
the approach of the nations not
ables.
Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachu-
sets was an early arrival at the
church with his staff.
As the church filled, Organist
Thomas C. Auld played Chopn's
funeral march.
The soft strains were punctuated
by the walls of very young child,
in the balcony.
The President and Mrs. Hoover
entered the church at exactly 1890
as the organ ended the funeral
march and began Mrs. Coolidge S
favorite musical selection, from
Dvoraks New World Symphony.
The Presidents face was very
grave as he came slowly down the
aisle, preceded by a military aide.
Mrs. Coolidge had entered the
church on the arm of her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. John Coolidge. AS
she passed the casket, and the con-
gregation rose to honor her, she
forced brave little smile to her
lips. But she never raised her eyes,
and sat with bowed head through
the opening prayer and the first
bars of Lead. Kindly Light
Notables Present
In the second row, at the right,
sat Vice President Charles Curtis
and Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes. Beside them Yas Clifford
Lyman, a Northampton book store
proprietor, long time friend of the
late President and an honorary
pail bearer.
The strains of a selection from
Dvorak's New World Symphony
drifted out over the congregation
from the organ in front of the
casket. 1t was the same selection
which was played at the funeral
of Calvin Coolidge, Jr., youngest
son of the former President, who
died during his fathers term in
the White House.
The Rev. Albert j. Penner, youth
full and deep voiced, who has been
pastor here only four months, but
enjoyed the intimate acquaintance
of both Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge, de-
livered the invocation, a prayer
for light, for compassion, for So
lace.
He stood above the casket, on
either side of which two standards
bore the flags of the nation and
the church.
AS the minister finished a quar-
tet softly began the hymn Lead,
Kindly Light, a favorite of Mr..
Coolidge. The plain, vanished
walls of the rectangular auditor
ium, in the balcony Of which were
crowded townspeople who had
known the former President as a
neighbor, echoed back the final
word.
The scripture reading, selections
from the Psalms, from Romans,
Corinthians and John, followed.
The quartet began the refrain,
20 Love That Wilt Not Let Me
Co.. This song was the selection
of Mrs. Coolidge.
The minister pronounced bene-
diction-"Unto Gods gracious mer-
cy and protection we commit you.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make His face to shine
upon you and be gracious unto
you. The Lord lift up His count
enance upon you, and give you
peace, both now and forever.
Amen"
The organ played soft post
lude and Mr.. Coolidge's neighbors
rose and walked quietly out of the
church.
