Kootenai Mercantile
Makes Improvements

Early this week Mrs. S. N. Plum
mer. owner of the Kootenai Mercan-

grocery and hardware departments
of her store torn down. The pres
emf partition between the two de-
partments is only five feet high
which enables person in either
department to see into the other.
The grocery department has been
extended to the rear about four
feet and five foot shelves have been
erected in the back of the depart
ment also.
The appearance of the north side
of the store is entirely changed and
the improvements are many.

Dies Memorial Is
Defeated i'm House

After once being approved by
both branches of the legislature,
the memorial asking congress to
continue the Dies investigation COM
mittee was killed in the house OF
representatives. Several represent
atives pointed out, however, that
the memorial was killed principally
because the national house of rep
resentatives already had voted over
whelmingly to have the committee
continue investigating un-American
activities.
The measure was given final APP
prova1 by the senate after its author,
Senator Kroman of Custer county,
had ridden it through number of
storms. Then it was given primary
approval by the house after one of
the most bitter sessions this as
sembly. When the measure came
up on general file, however, it was
defeated The vote was practically
republican against democrat.

DUCK THE HEAD; HERE IT GOMEZ
 WRE5TLE ROYAL
Big Battle of GrappIers. Six in Ring dt Once,
 for Monday Niqhf

The boy who will oerve in the un- enviable role of judge and referee in the colossal "Wrestle Royal" to be served thrill hungry fans at the Elks Hall next Monday night at 8 o'clock, is Bill Byington an old time grappler himself and one well vers- ed in the science of trickery as ex- pounded by the muscle and brawn men.
 In case there is some misunder- standing about this blood thirsty affair. for the uninitiated let it be explained that Wrestle Royal is a proposition whereby six men enter the ring at the same time and at- tempt by strength, cunning. dirty work, or other means, to eliminate one and another from the arena.
 The first two out will wrestle in the first match, the next two in the second match. This is in addi- tion to the original mob fracas.
 This Holocaust of Humans" prom ises to be just the thing needed to put little zip into tired business men. The entertainment will be rough, tough, and rejuvenating.
 Six of Juneaus top wrestling bad boys will participate, as fol- lows: Walter Gaston, Old Mexico Middleweight champ; Billy Spend love, former Montana Middleweight champ Gene Eustace, the Hair trig- ger boy from Juneau; Doc" Webb, Aux Bay pride; Gordon Muma of Juneau and Al Greenwald. This is first trick inside the ropes, but he got good workout last week as the maligned referee in that wrestling event.

 If passed by the Senate, which body killed a similar measure after favorable House vote in the 1887 session. voters of Alaska will go to the polls at the next general cleo ton to cast a ballot for or against the question of Territorial liquor stores.
 Representative Drager led the at tack against the measure, but was rebuffed by Representative Ander- son who spoke his displeasure at Drager's criticism.
 Bum bill?" howled Anderson, Whats bum about it?"
 Drager said the measure was a cease of passing the buck" to the public, a "subterfuge," and case of being afraid to introduce re- tail store bill.'
 Andersons comment was, Its the only democratic method of de- ciding the question. It doesn't look like any liquor legislation is going to get through this Legislature this session, so let the people decide"
 Get off Subject
 Representative Sinlth and Golf fey retorted allusion to fish trap abolition referendum measure killed last session, and endeavored to in form Anderson he had voted against that measure.
 Speaker Lyng, however, slapped his desk with his gavel to bring order while other Representatives cried for keeping to the point. Smith and Coffey subsided, but Coffey rose again to speak.
 The State of Washington has re- tail stores he said, but don't try to tell me they're a success, because they're not! Put in your retail stores here and open the way for bootleg and graft!"
 Representative Davis voiced his distaSte flor any legislation that might put Government in business. That sort of thing is long way from Democratic principle"
 Open for Graft
 Davis also said: Retail liquor stores open the gates wide for all kinds of graft and liquor costs haven't been reduced, or the con- sumption of liquor The situation is bad enough, but don't make it any worsel"
 Representative Spencer injected barb of criticism into the foray that echoed away in levity.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-05

New York, July 5. - (UP) - This is perhaps the first newspaper story ever written by man with frag- ments of roman candle in him, and whose ears dangle precariously from the effects of two-inch salutes.
 Yesterday was the Fourth of July and for two hours I foolishly fought my own battle of the Somme with a bushel basket of assorted fire crackers. Before I had finished l was in full retreat, with my right wing back by sparklers, my center broken by sky rockets, and my CLIO. in rout before general att tack of pin wheels, snakes in the grass, colored fire and torpedoes.
 Never again let anyone tell you that. fireworks are dangerous for children, because they are not. They are dangerous for grownups. Once a man reaches the age where he can vote and have his salary garn- ished he should abandon the cele- bration of the Fourth of July and limit himself to paying tribute to such days as Arbor Day, McKinley's birthday and Thanksgiving.
 Children know how to shoot fire- works, and don't for minute think there isn't @ definite technique to 1t, just as there is a technique to riding a horse, cutting headstone for the family cat, or rowing a Ka- yak. An inexperienced adult with roman candle is just as dangerous as a coked up killer with gIn. He

has no idea when 1t Is going to fire, where one of the Red Hot Puffs is going to land, or how long 1t will fire.
 The same is true of an adult with a sky rocket. Once he walks out on the lawn with it, sticks it in the ground, and says, Everybody look, now" he becomes a potential killer or arsonist. It is even money that he will burn the roof off his house, set to an innocent passerby, or be- come human torch himself when 1t fires up the back of his coat and sets fire to his vest.
 But the really dangerous bit of fireworks to the adult is the .dud- the one that fiZZles a bit and then doesn't go off. When a child shoots fireworks he throws the duds away and goes to work on bit of explosive. But not an adult. In most cases the adult has purchased the fire- works with his own money and knows just what each piece is worth. So, when 30-cent salute refuses to explode, he sees 1t as 30-cents wasted and goes to work on 1t. He holds 1t in his hand and shakes it.. He sticks lighted matches up against the powder, risking life and limb to get his moneys worth.
 Take my own case, for eXeample. The pride of my Fourth of July fireworks assortment was a mon- strous sky rocket labelled "a trip to Neptune" It stood six feet high and the salesman said 1t was well worth the $1.40 1t cost. When I gathered all the guests around and proudly touched a match to It's fuse, 1t sizzled a little bit and then went out. A child, with his intelli- gence of the danger of fooling with a dud, would have abandoned 1t then and there.
 But I didn't. held 1t in my arms, peered into its various recesses, and shook and stomped it. To save my $1.40, I made friends with enough explosive to destroy a regiment. Fin ally, I poked a lighted match way up in 1t.
 Suddenly I got tremendous action. As if angered by having It's sleep disturbed the powder in the "Trip to Neptune" let loose with a tre- mendous roar. Sparks flew right and left. There was a screeching sound and a mad hiss. Be fore could drop it got a first hand view of Purgatory. Out of my right hand pocket an illuminated American flag appeared, and from under my coat red hot parachute opened and started descending on my scorched knees. Finally, when the fire department, under the cap- able direction of Battalion Chief E. V. Edwards. extinguished me. I looked as if I had been to Neptune myself.
 Fooey on the Fourth. Hurray for St. Swithin's Day.

NEW US OLYMPIC
 TALENT APPEARS IN A.A.U. GAMES
Woodruff, Fenske, BOri- can Beaten; Rice Sets
 Mark in 5000 Meter

Lincoln, Neb., July 5-(UP)-A lot of new names appeared today among athletes who are prospective candidates to represent the United States in the 1940 Olympics.
 The champions had bad day of 1t yesterday in the 5lst renewal of the National AAU Track and Field championships, which served as an informal preview of Olympic talent for next year. AS a result such names as John Woodruff, Pittsburgh, in the middle distances and Charles Fenske, Madison, Wis, in the longer races were replaced by those of Edwin Miller, Southern California A. A., and Blaine Ride out, Shore A. c.
 Rideout beat the favorites in the featured 1900 meter metric mile" and Miller whipped Wood- ruff in the 400 meters.
 Rideout's time was 3 minutes 6l.5 seconds compared with the world record of 3 minutes 47.8 seconds.
 John Borican was beaten by Roy V. Cochran, University of Indiana in the 400 meter hurdles. Borican tripped and fell and didn't finish.
 The championships produced four record breaking performances - in the 5000 meter run, the 200 meter hurdles and the 400 meter relay and the discus. Tn two other events, the 100 meter dash and the no meter hurdles, the time was better than existing records but because of the wind the records were not officially recognized.
 The best race was the 5000 meter which Gregg Rice of Notre Dame won in 14 minutes, sos seconds, "A seconds faster than the old AAU record.
 Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute, set the 200 meter record of 22.9 seconds; Phil Fox, San Francisco, set the new discus record of 172 feet 4-1-2 inches and the New York Athletic Club set the 400 meter relay mark of 4l,2 seconds.
 The Olympic Club of San Fran cisco won the team championship with 47 points, beating the defend- ing champions, the New York Ath- letic Club which got 34.
