GERMANS RESENT
CHARGES MADE
NEWSPAPERS ATTACK GOVERN.
MENT FOR AIDING AMERICA.
They Are Mad Because United States
Senators Said That Germany Was
Trying to Influence Tariff
Legislation.

BERLIN, June 2.-The chages made
at Washington by various American
Senators that the German government
was endeavoring to influence tariff
legislation in the United States by sup
plying official information regarding
wages. which, upon examination, prov
ed them to be much higher than the
wages attributed to German manufact-
urers in the hearing before the Ways
and Means Committee of THE House.
has caused a disagreeable impression
in governmental offices here. This is
especially the case at the Ministery
or the Interior and the foreign Off
ces, where the information in question
was prepared in reply to a request
sent III by the State Department.
The German government has been
subjected during the past two months
to attacks by German trade journals
for having supplied America with Ger
man trade secrets. This knowledge of
German wages, it is alleged, made it
possible to adjust the new tariff to a
level where German goods could not
be exported to the United States. The
abstract CT the Foreign Offices COM
munication through Ambassador Hill
to the State Department appeared in
three dispatches March % and was
later reproduced in the German news
papers.
1t brought out savage attacks on the
government for yielding to the "im-
pudent demands of the Yankees" for
-ficial reports on wages, thus arming
Germany's competitors with vital in
formation.
The State Department, in formulat-
ing its request sent through Ambas-
sador Hill, is understood to have en-
phasized the point that Germanys ad-
vantage lay in supplying trustworthy
information with regard to wages. so
the United States could frame it's
schedules equitably.
Otherwise, it was argued Germany
could not complain if erroneous infor-
nation was used as a basis. This re-
quest was received December 10 and
was made the subject of communica-
tion to the Confederate States of Ger
many, each of which ultimately OBJ
tanned the information desired from
the official Chambers of Commerce.
The mass of reports was first collect
ed in the Ministry of the Interior and
then in the trade divisions of the For
eign Office. 1t was transmitted about
March p and arrived at Washington
about April ,, being sent in duplicate
both through Ambassador Hill and
Count Bernstorff the German ambas-
sador at Washington. Some surprise
is expressed here that for two months

HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS MAROONS.
Fast Game of Basket Ball Played at
Auditorium Wednesday Evening.

wednesday evening the first basket
ball game of the season was PLAYED in
the Auditorium between the high school
team and the Maroons, both teams
composed of young ladies of our citv
The game was won by the high school
girls by score of Is to 13, and at no
time during the second half was thew
sure of the game although in the lead
all the time.
The first half was one sided in favor
OF the high school team, closing with a
score OF 9 to A. In the second half the
Maroons gingered up and several times
had the score within one of tie. The
eenters, Pearl Burrell, for the Maroons
and Audrey Riddle, for the high school
did excellent work covering the whole
center. The high school girls owe
much to Jean Machines for the manner
she played forward and the number of

well guarded by Mabel Burrell and I,iIv
Johnson, who had habit of being on
duty every minute of the game. In
the forward field for the Maroons were
Grace McKown and Marion Rowberrv.
who were fast and very accurate but
the high school guards, Bee Becksted
and Ruth Sallee, did not permit the ball
to inger long in that field. The game
from the start was interesting to the
fair sized crowd which witnessed it and
all were well pleased with the exhibi-
tion. There was lack of team work
on both sides which will only be i'm
proved by practice.

Fairview School a Credit.

The Fairview school just completed
in District 19 adds another credit to the
country. The building is unsurpassed
by any district school building in the
state of Idaho. The structure is that
OF concrete, its size being 26x40 feet.
Five large windows on either side afford
sufficient light for the building. A good
sized basement and fine large store are
the best in every respect.
The large flagstaff erected at the
head of the building where "Oll Glory"
will wave, speaks for itself A white
panel over the entrance with the mono
gram ''Fairview, Dist. 10" adds to the
already handsome building.

to the rains and bad roads, only few
gathered.
1t is the earnest desire of the district
to thank those who contributed work on
the building, the musicians who so will

AN APOLOGY
Horse Editor Goes Wrong on the
Eclipse of the Moon.

The astronomical editor of the Press
has an opology to offer to the people of
Rockland who sat up most of the night,
Saturday, to see an eclipse of the moon
which occurred just after midnight the
night before. The people were great
ly put out and passed resolutions calling
into question the reliability of this
journal on matters of this kind. 1t all
came about through the presumption
of the horse editor, who took advan-
tage of the absence of the astronomical
editor, to show his marvellous lack of
knowledge of goings on in the heavens.
1t is humiliating to the astronomical
editor, after the countless nights he
spent in the earlier years of his man
hood in studying the stars, and teach
ing their mysteries to large number
of apt pupils, to have his knowledge
called into question in such manner.
To square himself the astronomicaf
editor will be glad to meet any number
of the young ladies of Rockland, to
discuss the comet which is now visible,
at any time. The men who condemned
the Press can find the comet for them
selves. Men are usually not apt in the
study of astronomy anyway, and it is
more pleasure construct one interested.

in township. Anticipating such a
demand on his time the editor bars all

CITY TO BE HONORED.
Company to Appear at the Auditorium
Which is Playing Large Cities.

The company playing SIN Wyoming
will appear at the Auditorium next
Tuesday evening, December 7, and is
one of the best companies on the road
today. This week they are playing at
Salt Lake City, and we have been
watching the papers of that city and
find they are giving the best of salts
faction there. On Monday evening
they play at Pocatello and Wednesday
at Boise. 1t is pleasing to the people
OF this city to have such companies as
these recognize American Falls on the
circuit of cities, classed with Salt Lake,
Pocatello and Boise, which proves to
US that our hopes are fast becoming
realities and that our little city is
among the best in this section.
That this company will be greeted
with a good house is an assured fact.
for the people here are always looking
for something good and as we are
promised that in this company, there is
no doubt but that when the curtain
raises every seat will be filled. The
advance man for the company author
lied US to say that any one not pleased
at the end of the first, second or third
acts could get their money at the box
office. For several weeks we have
noticed comments upon the success of
this company and have been anxiously
awaiting the time when we could tell
the people that they were to be here.

night at Salt Lake City the Telegram
said in part: 'It was a pleased audi
ence that left the Colonial theatre
after the last curtain was rung down
last night. Frank B. Tanning, as
Steve Gordon, the cattle rustler, was
exceptionally strong and seemed to be
the favorite. Cecil Kirke, as Rob
ricketts,, the hero of the story, also won
favor. Frank Patton, playing the role
of Hank Jones from Missouri, and
Burt c. Crowell, as the Pinkerton man
searching for criminals, furnished some
comedy that helped to make the play
refreshing. The piece was we'll staged
and the lack of boisterousness and dis
play of revolvers made it the most en-
joyable show of it's kind presented in
Salt Lake for many years. 1t deserves
good business and will get it.

Increasing Bank Deposits.

The business world looks to the local
bank deposits for its information in
regards to the condition of any COM
munity. A fat statement by bank,
showing large deposits, is absolute
proof that the community in which it
is doing business. is prosperous. The
development of American Falls and
community could not be better shown
than through figures given out by the
banks doing business. here. Taking,
for instance, the First National bank of
American Falls, we find that in the
past year it has doubled its de-
posits. In February last year its de-
posits according to the statement made
out by the call of the comptroller in
charge of national banks, amounted to
$57, ,774.89, and in February this year we
find total deposit with the First
National of $91, ,09291. At the last
call, which statement was published in
the issue of the Press of November 20,
the total DEPOSITS amounted to S116.-
O54.53. Better than twice the business
at the first call in 1903. Where could
you find better proof of the condi-
tion of any section than in such figures
as these? In April, this year, when the
call was made the bank was carrying
S1l9, $50. 36 in deposits, which was the
largest shown in any statement sent to
the department at Washington. This
is only the condition in one bank in
American Falls, and should we add the
deposits of the Evans State Bank the
amount would make a much larger
showing. We give these figures to
show the increasing business done in
our city and claim it to be the better
proof of rapid development and pros
porous conditions. Every business
house in our little city has been enjoy
ing like degree of prosperity and all
are counting upon larger trade the
coming year. Not alone is this true
of this section of southern Idaho but
every community is boasting of its
large increased business in every line.
This has been a great year for southern
Idaho and prospects are for bigger
year to come. Prosperity has struck US
here and it has surely come to stay.

s Short Line Preparing to
Make Such Improvement?
Boise Statesman Publishes Map Show
ing New Line From Payette to
Minidoka, With Double
Track to Pocatello.

Z The Boise Statesman had an article,
Monday, relating to the double track
ing of the Oregon Short Line from
Pocatello to Huntington. According to
the Statesman surveys have been
completed and the route fully de-
cided upon. Parallel lines, rather than
double tracking, is more nearly true,
for plans show the lines far apart and
will serve different localities. From
Pocatello to Minidoka, according to a
map showing the proposed new line,
the lines are near together, probably
not more than three miles apart any
where, and much nearer most of the
way. At Minidoka the proposed new
line bears to the north, passing through
Rickfeld, twenty miles north of Sho-
:shone, then to Camas Prairie, to Boise,
Emmett and Payette, where it JONES
the present line. So far as furnishing
transportation facilities is concerned,
it will practically be new line from
Minidoka to Payette, distance of 250
miles. Work is now in progress be-
tween American Falls and Minidoka,
which is said to be part of the Double
tracking plan. The past summer
switches have been established every
three or four miles from Pocatello to
Minidoka, or nearly so. The next
step, it is said, will be to connect these
switches, thus making double track.
Events seem to forshadow the making
of the improvement, which will greatly
stimulate the development of the
southern part of the state.
