Shade trees of Riverside addition are a source OF
pride to all people of the town, and are a valuable asset
to the community in that they add so materially to the
general appearance of the town. They add to the value
of every piece of property and under no circumstances
should they be neglected. Since they were planted seven
years ago the American Falls Development company has
taken care of the trees; have kept a man going practically
all the time during the summer months attending to
watering and caring for them. 1t seems that since the
company has done so much toward making the Riverside
addition an attractive place to live, that the individual
property owners would now exert themselves a little to
keep the good work going. The trees have now grown to
such size that they will soon require some trimming and
they all should have water more regularly. If the same
plan as has been adopted in the past is followed out; keep
ing a man on the job all summer, the expense will not be
so very great for any individual and this would probably
be TIE best way to handle the situation as many of the
lots are owned by people who do not reside here.

THE COST OF IT.

All Europe is engaged in war and the world is watch
ing and waiting breathlessly for reports of titanic strug-
giles on land and sea. Though war talk has rife among the
European nations since the latter part of June, it is hard
to realize that an actual condition of war exists which
involves some of the most highly civilized nations of the
world, and that countless millions of men are now being
modified for the purpose of Staying each other.
Some people are wont to say: Let them go to it; the
nations now involved have been spelling for a fight for
many years and the sooner they have it out the better it
will be for all concerned" Such sentiment is no doubt
expressed without consideration of the tremendous cost
in lives and money of such a war, and when that phase of
the situation is considered none can entertain a feeling
other than Of abhorrance for the terrible destruction
which must result.
Men Of military training and experience point out
that never before in all the history of the world has
such a war been fought. Never was there a war in which
such a vast number of men were involved, nor in which
the equipment was of such high order. Nearly twenty
millions of men can be mustered into service by the ma
tions now involved and they will have at their command
every known device for the destruction of life and prop
erty. If this war goes on until the nations are exhausted,
the worlds civilization will be set back a quarter Of a
century and unborn generations will have passed unto
the Great Beyond before the European powers will have
recovered their standing and their prestige in the world.
A table follows which will give some idea of the ter
rible cost of war:

The disposition OF the present house OF representa-
tives to curtail appropriations for the west, on the plea
of economy, while millions are being appropriated for all
manner of government expenditures in the south, was
condemned by Senator Brady of Idaho when the con-
ference report on the sundry civil bill was laid before the
senate. The senate on two occasions had adopted an
amendment offered by Senator Brady, appropriating $15,
600 to continue stump and wood waste distilation investi-
cations at the University of Idaho, but each time the
house fatty refused to sanction the appropriation. This
refusal brought forth a protest from the Junior senator,
who said:
at seems to me that the house should give more con-
sideration to a matter of as much Importance as this when
there was such a small amount asked. The time is coming
when the men OF the east will necessarily have to give
more attention to the wants and real needs of the people
of the west. | can not agree that the records of congress
will show that congress has at all times dealt fairly with
the people and the resources of the west. This appropria-
ton was q small one of $4,000; and the State of Idaho it.
self-a young and growing state, with one-third of its
territory tied up in forest reserves, and $3S3,O0O turned
into the treasury for revenues from the forests in 1913
was refused the paltry sum of $4,000 for the purpose of
demonstrating what can be done with the by-products of
its timber, while at the same time congress appropriated
not only hundreds of thousands but millions of dollars, for
expenditure on rivers where the nation at large can not
possibly be materially benefited by the appropriations.
Therefore | must insist that what | believe we need
more than anything else is for the men of the east to come
in closer contact with the people of the west, their wants,
their hopes, their ambitions, and the resources of the west.
Not o%ne-fourth of the members of the senate and house,
in my judgment, have been west of the Rocky Mountains.
Under those conditions they can not understand what we
really need in that country. My desire in making these re-
marks is to impress upon the senators that it is their duty
to study the resources of the west.
"The University of Idaho has done much to demon
strate that the by-products of the stumps and logs of the
forests can be made to pay a large part if not all the cost
of clearing the land. Prof. Shattuck and his able assist
ants are struggling against great odds in the work they
are doing along these lines, and they deserve better treat
ment at the hands of our government than they have re-
ceived; and / serve notice on the senate now that | am not
going to stop until their effort is recognized and a decent

STORY OF THE PATROL THAT'S
A SNAKE-IN-THE-GRASS
RNr Lara NAILnI4nLInr
BY Jane Whitaker.

BY Jane Whitaker.
This is the story of patrol wagon.
Not changing, rushing, excitement
breeding patrol wagon that causes
the kiddies on the street to forget
their game of ball and stretch their
legs after it, but quiet, sneaky, not
a-single-bell patrol that winds slowly
along in back of cars and wagons
and creeps in and out like snake
for all the world as though it was
ashamed of itself-and l rather guess
it is.
1 watched it yesterday while the
sun, intolerable in it's heat, beat
down on the girl who was slowly
walking to and fro in front of Knab
restaurant.
At first it wasn't in sight, the snaky
patrol wagon, and 1 hoped it wasn't
coming. Despite the lurid signs in
Knab's window, policeman No. 10
had no difficulty in keeping the street
clear in front of the Dearborn restau-
rant, save once when a woman stop
ped and sassed the officer when he
ordered her to move on.
MY nearC almost stopped DeaCmg.
Nov she will be arrested, foolish
thing" l thought, but No. 10 is an
elderly policeman who looks as if he
had a family at home and female
ways just sort of amuse him, and so
the lady who sassed moved on.
And then the snaky, ashamed-of-
itself-patrol came along, so quietly
did not hear it until l saw officer No.
10 step toward the girl picket and
touch her on the arm, and out in the
street the patrol had stopped and into
it the girl was forced to go though
she had been guilty of no crime.
To the credit of No. 10 he didn't
seem to like his job. In fact, he look
ed quite Disguised at having to do it.
Then 1 followed the snaky patrol.
1t turned around Monroe street and
