Lewiston.-If the postal-card craze
would continue through the year as il
does during the holidays the revenue
of the Lewiston postoffice would
boost the salary of Postmaster Mac
Eachron. for it is estimated that more
than 81 900 was spent in purchasing
the postal-card tokens OF holiday
cheer The fad has brought good bus
mess to the card merchants ever since
it became popular, but the holiday
business exceeded all expectations,
one merchant selling more than $3.50
worth Christmas week.
Lewiston-Scarcity of feed and the
high price OF beef cattle is worrying
stockmen. and II is predicted by Ben
jamin Dill that meat will be shipped
to Lewiston from Chicago next spring
All grades of feed are exceedingly
scarce. and It is said that less than 25
per cent OF the cattle are being fat
tened in the northwest this winter,
and if such a condition exists it is
probable that eastern fed cattle will be
shipped to the northwest Local
butchers are willing to contract for
beef cattle for May delivery at cents
per pound. but no feeders are able to
enter into large contracts.
Moscow-The records in the bIrsar's
Office at the University of Idaho show
that for the last five years the average
increase in attendance has been IA per
cent per year.
This semester there are registered
456 students, and of this number 254
are in the college courses, which is
larger number than any previous year.
Beginning February 8. with the sec
ond semester, the attendance will be
materially increased.
Beginning with the autumn semes-
ter tsere was an increase of Is mem
bers to the faculty and consequently a
larger schedule of studies to select
from. There were two new depart
ments and two new professorships.
Last year there were 26 graduates
added to the university alumni; this
year there are SO in the senior class
and it is thought all will gradu;t .
These records al show that since the
university was established in 1892
more than 1000 have studied within
its walls. During the year Idaho won
the interstate debate. taking seven out
of possible eight points from Oregon
and Washington.

Speaking Tuesday before a commits
sion of inquiry at Toulon an officer
OF the army made some sensational
statements regarding the power OF a
French shell known as the "P." He
said no existing armor was able to
resist the destructive qualities of this
explosive and cited the case of a shell
entering the smokestack of battle

line. The speaker deplored the fact
that the French navy had not yet
been furnished with these shells, al
though the tests had been started with
them eight years ago.

FOR BLACkMAil.
The BoyIes, Willie Whitla's kidnap
pers, Indicted at Cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 13-Mr and
Mrs. James r. Boyle, under arrest at
Mercer, on the charge of kidnapping
Willie Whitla of Sharon, Pa, We're
again indicted by the Cuyahoga coun-
ty grand jury here today on charge
of stealing and harborng Il stolen
child.
Following the arrest of the Boyles
here. March %. the day after the
Wh.la boy was returned to his father
here. the grand jury indicted the
couple on the charge Of blackmail.
This step was taken as precaution
against the possible failure of the
Pennsylvania authorities to obtain a
conviction. 1t was feared that Mrs.
Boyle probably might be able to evade
the charge there.
Later developments have shown there
may be real grounds upon which to
