IDAHO.

Harvesting near Mount Idaho, in Ida
no county, is well under way and the
bulk of the crop will be better than last
year. -
Many forest fires are raging in the
mountains, on the headwat ers of the
Clearwater.
Wood promises to be a scarce article
at Northern Pacific shipping points this
winter, owing to the opening up OF
more exteLy market by the railroad
being exte4-ded to Lewiston, which has
hitherto been supplied by rafting down
the river. There is scarcely any cord
wood cut in and about Kendrick, while
at Volmer the supply is not as large as
usual.
John Bennett of Mountain Home in
Gilmore county has sold his entire band
of sheep to Helm & Chattin. and will soon
depart with his family for England.
The assessment roll for Idaho county
this year foots up total of $975,874.
There are a few farmers near Genesee
who took advantage of the offer made
by C. L. Wood last spring to contract
this seasons wheat crop at rs cents per
bushel. The contracts are now being car
ried out to the letter, and some $4,000 or
10000 bushels will be delivered at this
price.
Frank Eberle is raising grapes success
fully at Juliaetta without resorting to
irrigation. His vineyard covers five acres,
in which are grown a very choice variety
of grapes. The Sweetwater variety, of
which he makes a speciality, run 60 pounds
to the vine, and he claims they are the
best variety for winemaking.
Potlatch ridge is in the midst of
hustling harvest, but owing to the extent
of this ridge, which reaches back to the
foothills, where the grain has not fully
matured, it will be Is days before all the
grain has been threshed. On this basis
the Potlatch farmers will be through with
harvest in three weeks, barring wet
weather.
The yield in the Potlatch holds up to
from % to 40 bushels per acre on the
average, with the grain weighing well,
some being shown that weighed l43
pounds to the sack, of the Canadian hy-
brid variety.
Samples of grain brought in to Ken
drick from the reservation indicate that
that section will harvest good crop and
of an exceptionally fine quality. The grain
is full and plump and weighs WELL Grain
men say that there appears to be no dis
position on the part of the farmers to

GEN. MILES MAY Be TRIED
GEN. ALGER WILL NOT TALK.
Recent Interviews and the Publica-
ton of OHiciaI Dispatches VIII DC
Inquired Into by the war De-
partment when Miles Returns

Washington, Aug. 3l.-When General
Miles returns to Washington he Will De
asked for an explanation OF the recent
interviews appearing and the puolicatloh
of certain dispatches which the war de-
partment has not made public. Whether
the investigation will take the course OF
a military court of inquiry or OF private
interview between the president, the sec
rotary of war and Miles, remains to be
seen.
Until the arrival of Miles the war de-
partment will not discuss the matter. Al
ger saws the department will not enter
into controversy with its subordlnates'
and he does not propose to discuss mat
ters affecting Miles during his absence
The department is of the opinion that
Miles made public the dispatches OF the
secretary, Shafter and himself, publish
ed this morning. Such action, it regards
as breach of military regulations, but
no military court can secure the PROOF
that Miles made public the dispatches II
he and the person to whom they were
furnished refuse to give information, as
several military trials have made it the
law that no military court can compel
civilian to testify if he does not desire
to.
Miles may be called to account for the
interviews with him as, unless disavowed,
they would place him in the attitude OF
criticising superior officers and subject
him to military discipline.
1t is expected the controversy will eX-
tend to both houses of congress and 1t IS
feared will have an adverse effect upon
legislation which will be asked, to better
the army. 1t is generally understood
the regular. force will have to be largely
increaseq4I It least until the conquered
islands are disposed of, and it is feared
legislation in this direction will be ham
pered by controversy between the sec
rotary of war and the general in COM
mand of the army.

Sickness In Puerto Rico.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3l.--The yacht
May, which took to Puerto Rico supplies
for the army sent by the national relief
committee, has arrived here, bringing the
report of the representatives of the com
mittee, This document says in part;
There are about 10000 American sol
diers in Puerto Rico and on the day of
our departure, August p. there were
over 1000 men on the sick list. There
was large number of typhoid cases, but
on the 22d instant this disease was not
on the increase, fact which indicates
that the malady had been carried from
the camps at home and is not indigenous
to Puerto Rico. However, there is a
very large increase in dysentery, back
bone fever and malarial diseases due to
the rainy season, just commenced.
Medical authorities in the army in
Puerto Rico agree that the sick list is in
creasing and an alarming condition may
be expected unless the war department
promptly arranges barracks for the ar
my and Immediately provides additional
transports to relieve such sick men as
can be safely transferred home. 1t is
impossible for men from the northern
climate to recuperate in tropical coun-
try during its most unhealthy season. .
