Cowlitz River Is
At Flood Again
Waste from spruce lumber rived out
for airplane stock will help solve the
apple box shortage, according to J. B.
Knapp who has been making a special
Investigation of conditions among the
lumber mills of Oregon and Washington.
Mr. Knapp has Informed Food Admin
istrator W. B. Ayer that the waste ma
terial can be used for this purpose.
Shortage of fruit containers faced
many sections of the Northwest a few
months ago when It was learned that
thousands of additional boxes would be
reeded to take care or the apple crops.
Following a meeting of apple men and
the'lumber mill men In Portland a plan
was adopted which was designed to
speed up the production of boxes. The
campaign has obtained good results.
New Impetus to the plan has been added
by the. extraordinary activity in the
spruos industry at this time.
Lumbermen of the Pacific Northwest
are also laying their plans to capture
a share of the contracts for munitions
boxes let by the government. The manu
facturers see the possibility of getting
good results from the utilization of
waste spruce left after the selection of
airplane stock. Government control of
the railroads will 'expedlate transporta
tion of the box shooks, it is argued.
Hie wire and six children survive. The
Utter are Mrs. Elsie ' Kelly of Mossy
rock.. Mrs. Irene Nash and Mrs. Zella
Partch. both of Toledo, and James.
Dewey and Nina Taylor, all of Knab.

ltolse, Ida., Dec 29. Marked prog
ress has.' been ' made by the mining In
dustry In Idaho daring the last year,
according to' a report made by Robert
N. Bell, state mining Inspector. The
approximata ' output la estimated at
S0.OO0.0O0. pounds of lead. 11.000.000
ounces, of sliver, 80.000.000 pound of
sine, .1(1,000.000 pounds of copper and
40,000 ounces of gold, with a total gross
shipping , value of $50,000,000.
Mining . suffered a severe check In
November, due to a slump In metal
Values. This relapse, together with the
uncertain application v of the excess
profit tax on mines and apparently
fixed increase In cosfof production, cast
a shadow on the future of the Industry.
Inspector Bell states. Labor has been
so scares and hard to procure, especial
ly la the -underground operatives, that
very little development work has been
done In - the largo properties in the
Cneur d'Alonea.
In other portions of the state, espeo
lully In districts tn South Central Idaho.
a number of Important new ore disclo
sures have been made that give decided
promise, especially in lead, silver and
cepper.
The most noticeable center of mining
activity outside of the Coeur d'Alenes
during the year. Inspector Bell reports.
was the Mackay district.
Adjoining the Empire Copper com

Important discoveries have been made.

Kelso, Wash., Dec 29 Resumption of
the heavy rains and warm Chi nop k

damage wrought to farms by the recent
big freshet has been stopped.
Few logs were left In the Cowllts by

In this vicinity are also at flood stage.
The rising water from the Cowllts has

Josef Hofminn says "Incom-

Felix welnrartner says. "Entirely ;
surpasses anything of its kind."
Richard Strauss remarks, "The
only one that is genuinely artistic in
its rendering."
The final and convincing evidence'
of the supreme merit of the Welte-,
Mignon is the fact that it is the In
strument chosen by the most emi- .
nent pianists to perpetuate their art.
Padcrewski, Hofmann, Carreno, Fan

Pachmann, Cimille Saint-Saens are
tome of the celebrated artists who
have indorsed in the fullest manner
this great instrument.
In ,t word, the Welte-Mignon re- ;

prises and delights.
Leoncavallo says, "when I heard
a reproduction of a selection by my
friend Grunfeld. I had a feeling that
he really sat before me."
