GREAT BUSINESS
BOOM ABOUT DUE

That the United States is on the
verge of the greatest boom in its en-
tire history is the only result that can
be arrived at by the most conserva-
tive observers.
The wonderful food of orders from
the mighty nation of the South is
beginning to arrive. Shut off from
their usual markets of Europe the
South American countries have turn
ed to the United States with the re-
suit that hundreds of millions of dol
lars Of trade heretofore going to
France, Germany and Great Britain.
has been diverted to the country of
the Stars and Stripes-never again to
leave.
AS Andy Little says: "Its i'll wind
that blows ni'bidy guild" The war
that is devastating the entire contin-
ent is making the United States the
business master of the world in double
quick order.
1t is we'll established fact that the
steel business is the most stable bar
ometer of tade. The export depart
ment of the United States Steel Cor
poration at Pittsburg has announced
the receipt of from one of the South
American railroads an order for lOl
miles of S0-pound standard rails.
The Vancouver Steel Company
wants steel-both of these orders
would have gone to Germany.

ON CHARGE OF LARCENY

Earl Cox and Lloyd Cox, said to
be under indictment for grand larceny
in Malheur county, Ore, were taken
into custody here Tuesday. They
were taken to Vale Tuesday evening
by Sheriff Kerfoot of Malheur county.
The charge against the Cox broth
ems, according to intimations of the
Malheur sheriff, is based on evidence
that they have been connected with
series of horse stealing escapades
that have worried the Oregon author
tiles for the past year.
Lloyd Cox was arrested in town by
Policeman Baker Tuesday afternoon,
and Earl Cox was apprehended at his
fathers home, near Caldwell, by

March of Infantile Paralysis.

In the United States infantile paral-
ysis in epidemic form until a few
years ago, had been practically un-
known, but in 1905 it burst out in
considerable virulence in Norway
and Sweden, and thence it started on
mysterious circuit of the world.
Practically no country has escaped.
In Europe there were epidemics
everywhere, from Scandinavia to the
Mediterranean; in North Ameria its
ravages extended from Alaska to Ala
bama; the West Indies, South Ameri-
ca Australia and the South Sea Is
lands were likewise visited. The

U. s. Ships on Seven Seas
Now Linked by Wireless

Washington, D. c., May 3l.-Capt.
w. H. G. Billiard, U. S. N, who is
in charge of the naval radio service,
with headquarters at Arlington, Va,
has just presented to the Naval Insti-
tute an interesting review of the de-
velopment of naval wireless teleg-
raphy.
During the Spanish-American War
wireless telegraphy was untried in
the United States Mayor any other
navy.
It was during 1899, the year after
the Spanish-American conflict, that
the British Navy became the first to
try the new means of communication.
Three warships-Alexandria, Europea
and Juno-succeeded in communicate
ing up to a distance of seventy-four
miles.
Today practically every vessel, in
the United States Navy is so equipped
that there is scarcely point in the
seven seas at which the bigger battle
ships would be out of touch, through
relay, with the three great masts tow
ering over Capt. Billiards. head
quarters at Arlington.
The first trial of wireless on Amer
lean warships was made late in 1885,
The armored cruiser New York (now
the Saratoga, the battleship Massa-
chusetts and the torpedo boat Porter
were the first to be equipped.

At 9 o'clock the children formed ir

at the order Of command started or
the march to Oak Hill cemetery, fol;
lowed by the firing squad from the
N. G. M. Then the Post and other
old soldiers fell in line, and as the
procession moved a long line Of citi-
zens in vehicles joined and moved as
part of the procession.
On arrival at the cemetery the old
soldiers visited and decorated the
graves Of all the old soldiers, in the
usual order, and wound up the cere-
monies near the flag staff, where the
firing squad shot three rounds over
the graves of those buried in the gov
eminent lot. The observance Of the
day were under the general directions
of P. H. Holcomb, Post commander,
and everything moved on time and
smoothly.
It was a beautiful sight to drive
about the cemetery and see the lovely
flowers tastefully arranged on nearly
every grave. Some lots were liter
ally coveredwith flowers. The peo-
pie joined in the observances quite
generally and Memorial Day is no
