now opened.
Frank r. Neal of Hartford, Wash,
died on a train as it pulled into Ken
drick Saturday morning.

dAlenes for years.
The positive assurance has been
given by President Fred w. Bradley Of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan company
That the mine would in no way curtail
its pay roll, irrespective of the metal
market.
Conditions in the mining regions of
northern Idaho are good, considering
the demoralized metal market, and the
output is being maintained at almost
normal level, regardless of the fact
that lead is being produced at an av-
erage loss of $40 the ton.
The largest Individual sale of grain
on Camas prairie this season was made
Friday by VIM. Sullivan to the Tri-
State Warehouse company of Seattle.
He sold 5000 bushels of wheat and
80 cents a bushel and 5000
sacks of barley at So cents a hun
dred. The price received for wheat is
the highest price paid for years. This
entire amount of grain was raised by
MIR. Sullivan this season and is be-
lieved to be the biggest crop raised by
any one person on the prairie this
year.

Fierce fighting continues between
the allies and the Germans along the
battle lines in France and Belgium and
between the Germans Austrians and
Russians in the east.
Although Turkey seems to desire TO
back down from her position as a bel
ligerent against Russia and her allies,
the powers comprising the triple en-

An official statement issued by the
French government indicates that the

their stipulations that the German Of

HEALTH SEEKERS BUREAU.

Denver.-A Health Seekers Bureau.
equipped TO give advice and informa-
tion to new-coming health-seekers to
Colorado has been established here by
the Denver Visiting Nurse Associa-
ton. The aim of the Bureau is to
post health-seekers upon the necessity
of taking proper hygienic care of them
selves, and SO not depending futilely
upon the sole benefits of the Colorado
climate for their recovery.
Accordingly, the bureau seeks to get
in touch with health-seckers not only
upon their arrival at Denver, but even
before they make the journey. so as
to give prospective newcomers the In.
dispensable advantage of knowing
how to care for themselves, and also
to assist them in finding sanitary and
hygienic quarters.
The work of the bureau is under
the supervision OF A. II. Ortmeyer,
who himself came TO Denver fifteen
months ago from Chicago in the ad-
vance stages of tuberculosis. Since
his recovery he has devoted himself
actively to the cause of strangers here
In quest OF health. Through the
Health-Seekers Bureau he is able to
do in u more consistent and organizezd
way what heretofore he could do in
only an individual and hap-hazard
way.

whisper.

an explanation was due him from Mer-
Ger, or else he owed Mercer an apol-

Toms involuntary outburst. She was

buying movement, presumably by for

have been the purchases that from
so to 60 per cent of the total crop Is
estimated to have been already dis

years the buying movement has hard

total purchases are said to aggregate
