TO
DECLARE
WAR
Now Mobilizing Army to
Attack Turks-Fight-
ing Only Question
of Hours

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SALONICA, Turkey, July L.
Declaration of war against Tur-
key by Greece is momentarily ex-
pected and troops are being mobil-
lied by both nations In anticipa-
tion of the clash.
Today It appears but a matter
of hours before the fighting will
begin. The immediate cause of
the quarrel between the two coun-
tries is the result of recent or
der issued at Constantinople for
the troops to drive all Greeks off
the Turkish frontier.
Several days ago the third army
corps modified In this section and
commenced driving the Greek
bands away.
Indignant at their treatment at
the the hands of the Turks the
Greeks made formal complaint to
their king and the result was that
secret orders were issued to mobil-
ize the Greek army.
Today troops are pouring into
Salonfca from every part of Tur-
key and 1t appears that war can
not be avoided.
Island Is Bone of Contention
Greece and Turkey are ancient
enemies. They have fought bloody
war and pitched battles ever since
the Turks swept across from Asia
Minor centuries ago and estab-
lished themselves in Europe. The
real cause of the present trouble Is
the island of Great, which recently
declared itself Independent of Tur-
key and subject to Greece. Greece
naturally. supports the Cretan de-
sire for annexation.

Test.
The expected has happened and
the senate has passed local option
bill. There are those who make pre-
tense OF believing that the courts will
knock II out. and that joker for this
purpose IL somewhere hidden In its
provisions. But II Is a safe guess to
assert that the courts will do nothing
OF the kind and the law will be up-
held and the liquor question will be
up for discussion In the various cOun-
ties In a very short time The law
viii 80 into effect within sixty days
and petitions for a vote upon the
question of saloons or no sa-
looms viii blossom out all over
the state, There Is general feeling
that the new law will pit the country
districts against the city districts and
that the former will so dry while the
latter will vote for the open policy,
II such proves to be the case. then
the law will not be as effective as II
should for the residents of the towns
will feel that Their country brethren
are placing unjust regulations upon
them, An antl-saloOn policy in a
nelghborhood where public sentiment
upholds can be successfully pursued
while II such a policy is forced upon
an unwilling people 1t will be evaded.
This we consider to be the truth that
IL found In the conflicting testimony
that comes from prohibition states
and sections. Local option has been
the policy for several years In Ore
gon and saloons have been closed In
many localities. but all efforts to
close them In the city OF Portland
have failed. as have similar efforts In
all large cities, There are cities in
Idaho where II would be IA decided

looms by the votes of the adjacent ter
rItory aud this principle will be rec

make the law more effective to have

law should be accepted In good faith
and given a fair trial.-The Boise

Mp. TO CHANGE MAIN LINE.
Continued from page one.)

support of the roads plan to extend
its Wallace line to Occur d'Alene is
the fact that its right of way agents
have been purchasing tracts of land
along Nine Mile creek near Wallace.
The only explanation that can be Civ.
en- for the purchase of these lands
is that they win be used for ware
houses, and also for construction
work purposes. Another fact cited is
the construction by the company in
its yards in Wallace of a large ice
house. The present branch line would
have had no use for building of this
character, but will when the proposed
extension is completed be of great
value to the company in supplying its
trains with ice.
A definite announcement of the
eompany's plan in the extension of
Its Wallace line to this city, and the
selection of site upon which to
build its shops and a round house
will probably be made at a not far
distant date and this city will more
than likely be selected as the place
for the shops and the round house,
and when the extension is completed
II will mean that Occur d'Alene
will be placed on the main line of the
transcontinental road.

RAISES CATFISH FOR MARKET
Sites Farmer Turns Marsh Land
Into Small Pond.


Into Small Pond.
SITES, Idaho. Feb. 22.--Just
outside of the city limits OF Sites
there lives an enterprising German,
Jacob Sites. for whom the town was
named. and on a part OF whose land
the town OF Sites was built Not
only is Mr.. Sites enterprising but he
is highly successful in carrying out
his undertakings
A few years ago MIR. Sites became
aware that about one and one-half
acres of his land lay in a marshy
place that was too wet to grow a crop
of vegetables. This preyed on his
mind. for he hauls his vegetables to
the Elk City mining district and real
ICES from 3 to Is cents a pound for
his produce. Then he had a happy
thought. He would convert the bog
into fish pond. Through the infiu-
ence of Deputy State Game Warden
MacHarbaugh he procured a con-
HlbiuituA VI GAAuHut anu duOtueE COu-
signment from the United States gov
eminent.
So fast did the fish grow that some
of them were fully a foot in length
last summer. They have had two
seasons in which to spawn and now
Sites declares that there are mil
lions OF little fishes in his pond. Mr..
Sites supplies fresh water to his lake
through an irrigation ditch from the
Clearwater river
But propagatlng catfish for the
market was too slow Tor Sites. Dur
Ing the January cold snap he har-
vested 200 tons OF choice ice from his
small fish lake. for which he found a
demand fully equal to his output. at
$50 ton. This price was for the ice
on platform built at the edge of the
lake, the buyer doing his own haul
ing. Mr.. Sites is aow figuring on
another cold snap to enable him to
harvest a second crop of Ice before
the winter is over.
