MYSTERIOUS BOX TRACED Dear Editor: -- I noticed in your paper dated Feb. 24th, 1010, an item under the beading above. It claims that Officer Phippen after untiring efforts had traced the box of dynamite o Davidson, Sask., where a Mrs. Fleming had it stored in the station warehouse to be used by her for the purpose of blowing out stumps. As I am well acquainted with his district and know that there is not a stump within 36 miles O. David- son larger than a stovepipe and know that dynamite is never used in that country for the purpose. The officer's investigation in this case is far from the facts and who ever informed him in this case has mierepresentted the conditions out there. Dyramite in the Davidson district could be used for blasting rock and bl ting in some cases for lowing frozen ground. 1 u t I know of no other use it could be put to so up to the present I Consider Officer Phippen's investigation ation a fizzel J.
