BIG SHEEP DEALS
CLOSED AT K'CALL
Quarter of a Million Dollars
Worth Change Hands
in Is Days.
(staff Correspondence.)

Payette Lake, Aug. 22.-Over quar-
ter .. a million dollars worth of sheep
charged hs1ds at Mccall, the well
known town on the south beach OF
Payette lake, during the last is days
OF this amount fully 100000 worth of
sheep {, anged hands on Tuesday and
Wednesday of the week just closed
Most Of this buying and selling OF
sheep vas between growers and be-
tween growers and dealers.
The recent sharp advance in the
sheep market is the prime cause of
this heavy trading here in sheep. One
of the states best known sheepmen
stated the year 1914 stands out as one
of the best in the history of the Idaho
sheep and wool industry.
Many of the states prominent sheep
men happened to be at the lake at the
same time, on business and for pleas
ure. AS things have turned out they
did an immense business while here
Much of it was done in the lobby of
the Lakeview hotel at Mccall, where
many deals were closed, and many big
checks were made in payment of sheep.
Mccall has suddenly gained fame as
one of the really important points for
those engaged in the sheep business.
1t is now the natural shipping point
for many of the thousands of Idaho
sheep that find their summer range
in the vast stretch of mountains ex-
tending for many miles north and east
of Payette lakes.

AMERICANS TO MAKE
OWN BROADCLOTHSAS
RESULT OF THE WAR

The present European war will re-
suit in the manufacture and use of
American made broadcloths and other
goods heretofore imported to a greater
extent than in <he past, according to
the statement of J. r. Kinny, buyer
for w. Sedgley of this city who re-
turned yesterday from q months buy
ing trip in New York city. where he
purchased the best lines obtainable in
the latest fashions.
Business in the east appeared to
be good" said Mr.. Kinny yesterday.
Buyers were more eager to buy this
year. Early business was light on
ready to-wear lines but it was good
thing owing to radical changes in
styles which was somewhat expected.
THE war has not affected immediate
business so far as l could learn. In
the future a great many broadcloths
will be manufactured in this country
where before they were imported and
this will increase home manufacturing
and home consumption. American
made goods in the future will pre-
dominate and in my opinion this is a
good thing for the manufacturers, buy
ers and those who wear the goods.
"Great interest in the European war
is being manifested in the east. Moth
ing gets on the front page of a New
York newspaper except war news.

HIGH COMPLIMENT TO
THE BOISE SCHOOLS IN
GOVERNMENT REPORT

Boston, Springfield, Gary, Chicago
Boise and Los Angeles are the six
cities in the United States which have
made the greatest progress Of educa-
ton in the United States government
A report of the work being done in
these cities along that line Is being
published by the government under a
section, entitled, Recent Achievements
in Typical Centers."
Prior to the closing of school last
June, Boise was visited by DR.. Duffen-
baugh OF Washington, d. c., head of
school administration in the depart
ment of education. Several days were
spent in Boise by DIR. Duffenbaugh in
vestigating just what was being done
along the line of vocational training
and upon his-report Boise was placed
in the list with the big cities of the
country, with but one exception, that
of Gary, Ind, the steel city, which.
when founded, set out to build up an
unique system of public schools and
being an exceptionally rich city, sue
ceeded in getting in the same class
with Boise.
The fact that Boise is among six
cities to make the most remarkable ad-
vancement in vocational education, re-
fleets great credit upon the work of
Superintendent C. s. Meek and his
corps of special instructors who have
accomplished so much along these lines
in a few years.

The Ready Reference Record
and Solution Blank Book
at HALF PRICE

By way Of explanation: Before
starting the Picture Puzzle Pastime it
was realized that Journal readers as
q whole were not familiar with the
different phases and workings of a
contest of this nature and that much
enlightenment in this direction would
be necessary. A campaign Of educa-
ton was begun and kept up for many
weeks but even today with the con-
test half over there are many readers
who do not thoroughly understand the
Pastime. this being in part due to their
not having provided themselves with
the two books necessary for an in
telligent and thorough understanding
of the contest. The main idea of the
contest is to amuse readers and at
the same time reward them for their
work or play as one may look at 1t.
1t is open to all readers of the paper
and if 1t has amused them or been
the means of placing the paper before
new readers, the main object has been
attained. The contest is not regard
ed in a financial light and remember
this, the Journal will not, in actual
cash, make anything in this contest.
The big cash prizes and the various
expenses attendant on q contest of
this nature preclude any such posi-
bility. The Journal is content If the
contest has amused it's readers old
and new. The two books used in
connection with the contest are, in the
main, necessary to the general scheme

BRITISH AERIAL
FORCES PROVING A
POWER IN EUROPE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Sept. $50 little has ap-
peared regarding the movements of
the British aerial forces that the fol-
lowing excerpts from discussion of
it's activities by one protesting to be
closely connected with this branch Of
the service is interesting.
Speaking of the sending of SO Brit
ish aeroplanes across the Channel by
air, which was kept secret for some
time, he says:
"As a combined flight, that sur
passed anything ever done in avia-
ton; but it was only part of big
movement; other machines had flown
across the previous day. and at the
present moment three fun squadrons,
Nos 2, 3 and 4, each consisting of
twelve aeroplanes, besides reserves,
spares, and motor transport, are
with the Expeditionary force. But
apart from the news of two fatal ac-
cidents, and the appearance in the
casualty lists of an airman's name
among the wounded, nothing authentic
has been published concerning the do
ings of the Royal Flying Corps.
Even though / knew more than a
very little about the work of our
Army aviators at the front, l should
not be permitted 10 reveal it; yet a
few facts may be given without indi-
eating positions or conditions.
THE evidence points to a general
superiority of German aircraft
throughout, and to a desire on the
part of the enemy to create a de-
pressing moral effect on the Allied
troops by the parade of a vast number
of aeroplanes. which are ever actively
employed. So far as reconnaissance
goes, it is quite unnecessary to make
such demonstrations, and, as to the
effect on troops of the small bombs
that can be thrown from aeroplanes,
it is negligible. The German method
is to keep up a regular system of
aeroplane flights, the machines start
ing at regular intervals and making a
that the regularity and punctuality of
the work are esteemed of greater
value than the results obtained.
THE British aviators, while work
ing by method. pursue different tactics.
1t may be said that not a flight has
been made without some definite OBJ
ject in view. The British Fifth
Arm is under the direction Of Briga-
der General Sir D. G. Henderson, Di-
rector of Military Aeronautics; and
the Commander of the Royal Flying
Corps. Colonel F. H. Sykes. is also in
the field. The Royal Flying Corps
has it's headquarters at the base; but
each squadron also has base, and
these bases are in Geographic COM
munication with headquarters and, of
course with the General Staff.
Many of the wounded soldiers back
from the front speak of the persistent
way in which German aeroplanes flew
over the positions during the different
engagements, and signalled to them
artillery data by which the range
could be corrected and kept. Not a
word has been said as to our own
aviators performing similar service
for our artillery, but that is simply
because the testimony that has reach
ed us SO far is from men who were
only in a position to see but very
small sections of the operations. As
a matter of fact, our Army fliers have
been directing artillery fire, and to
good purpose"
