Western Boys
to Receive Rare
Military Training

The War Department last year
inaugurated system of conduct
ing military training camps dur
ing six weeks in the summer for
the purpose of giving special
military instruction to the
young men from the higher in
stitutions of learning, The
camps were a success and the
movement will be broadened
this year by the esta ablishment OF
a number of additional camps.
There is an effort being made
to secure the establishment OF
one OF these camps in the North
west and the sentiment seems to
be in favor of Spokane as the
most convenient point for all of
the states interested. Already
the active support and co-opera-
tion OF the heads Of the leading
northwestern institutions has
been secured. The university of
Idaho. University of Montana.
Washington State College and
Whitman College are among
those on the list in favor of this
movement.
The Spokane Chamber OF Com
merce is taking an active part in
the matter and as a result of the
cooperation of Senator Brady
and the effective work he has
been doing, they have referred
all matters to him. Senator
Brady.has made several visits to
the War Department and has
secured a conditional agreement
to establish a students military
camp in the Inland Empire, The
department makes condition
ofthis agreement that $50 of the
boys from the colleges and high
schools shall signify their intent,
ion Of taking advantage of the
five weeks term of the camp.
This general project OF putting
the bows under a FIVE weeks
course OF military training in the
summer time is new in the North.
west. but nevertheless the ia theirs
and mothers will appreciate the
value of this short period of
military discipline AS help to
them in making the right kind of
men out of their boys.

Electric Street
Lights in Oakley

At last the long heralded
street lights are installed and
Oakley now has lighted streets.
None but good words are heard
on all sides over the lighting
system Much credit is due to
the city board for what has been
accomplished. They have added
one more convenience to the
many we already possessed in
making Oakley the ideal home
town.

Lincoln
Banquet for
County
in Idaho
PLANS OF ASSOCIATION ON
BROADER SCOPE THAN IN
PREVIOUS YEARS.

Plans for the observance OF the
anniversary of Abraham Lin.
coins birthday. are taking a
broader scope this year than
ever before in Idaho. Heretofore
a banquet III Boise has been the
extent of the celebration, One
serious objection is interposed
against this plan. Because of
the long distances to travel
and the heavy expense to be in
cnrred this has deprived many
worthy men from participating
in the tributes paid to the mem.
ory OF one OF the greatest men of
all time.
TO meet this objection It is
now proposed by the Lincoln
Day Banquet association TO
have a celebration this year in
every county in the state on
February 12. No secret is made
OF the fact that one of the main
main objects OF these celebrations
is to revive Republican enthus
iasm and restore party harmony
by furnishing a rallving point
around which all men who re-
gard themselves AS Republicans
will be glad to gather.
GIVE EVERY COUNTY CHANCE
For this reason the plans for
holding county Lincoln day cele-
brations will be worked out
through the Republican chair
men OF the respective counties.
Captain E. G. Davis, chairman
of the Lincoln Day Banquer
association, sets forth the objects
and aims of the organiza ton
clearly and briefly communica
tion just sent to each of the
county chairfnen.
The approach ofFebruary 12,
Lincoln day, reminds me to III
vite your attention to the fact
that this is the day selected by
the Republicans of Idaho for the
holding of their annual banquet
to discuss matters of interest to
the party in both state and nat
ion.
we desire the meeting of the
state association which will be
held in Boise on that date to be
particularly representative and
to bring together men of all
shades of political belief in the
party from all parts of the state;
IN other words to make it get |
together movement which will
have behind it much force and
earnest purpose.
I'VE should like you and all
others interested to attend the
at Boise. but we realize
the fact that their will be many
over the state who
will be unable to attend the
gathering here in the capital but
who might appreciate an oppor-
Lunity TO participate in a similar
gathering nearer home.
HOPE FOR Coon RESULTS
Il suggest that you investigate
the matter and arrange to hold
A Lincoln day banquet in your
county seat, and to bring to-
sether on such an occasion as
many OF the interested Republi
ans oi your conuty asst is poss-
BILE to do. Doubtless convent
.nces could be had tor a fine
meeting. The banquet part of it
,ould be made inexpensive, many
people could he brought together
and much good result to the
oarty from such meeting and
discussion of party matters.

HeIa Is Sunk. T."

London. Sept. 16.-The Scotsman to-
day states that the German submarine
which sank the British cruiser PATH
finder has itself been sunk. On We'd
nesday last according to the account,
a part OF the British fleet on the look
out for German submarines. became
aware Of the near presence of one. The
British vessels divided when the sub
marine appeared with only it's peris-
cope showing.
With grim patience the British cruis-
ers waited for the temperance of the
submarine, which occurred in a dra-
matte fashion. By some m~iscalculation,
probably in a final effort to escape the
cruisers, the submarines coming tower
and upper structure suddenly appeared
in the midst of the English vessels. The
coming tower had hardly broken the
surface of the water when the first
British gun marked 1t. The doomed
vessel was within range of seven Brit
ish cruisers, and from every one of them
guns crashed out. In 10 seconds seven
shots entered the frail shell of the sub
marine.

AMERICAN FINANCIAL
SITUATION IMPROVES

New York, Sept. 15-Tnauguration of
gold exports in Canada to partial pay
ment of New York city's indebtedness
to London and Paris. and withdrawal
from the private market of some large
orders to sell listed securities, were the
interesting financial developments of
the day. Five million dollars was taken
for shipment to Ottawa, there to be
placed to the credit of the Bank of
England. AS much more probably will
go across the border in a few days.
Cancellation of the orders t sell
stocks was associated with the latest
.news from abroad, which indicated a
more hopeful feeling regarding the
cause of the allies in h war with Ger
many. It was said that a substantial
part of the new German loan of $780,
000,0 900 now in process Of lotation by
Berlin bankers would be subscribed for
by wealthy German-Americans, but, a
canvass OF the International banking
interests failed to elicit any confirma-
ton of these Tumors.

RAILROADS PLEAD FOR
TANGIBLE CHARITY
Unusual Conditions Make Relief
Imperative-Asks Rate
Case Reopened.

Washington, Sept. RECOMMENDING
that they face unprecedented condi-
tons, aggravated by the European war.
the eastern railroads have informally
informed the Interstate Commerce
commission Of their intention to ask
for the reopening Of the advance rate
case, in which a petition for a general
increase Of S per cent in freight rates
was denied.
When the petition will be filed and
the probable scope of its appeal has not
indicated. Commissioner Clark
told of the informal notice that had
been given by the railroads after a
meeting late today with President Will
ard, Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Further hearing Of the rate case would
be asked, 1t was said. to show that ex-
traordinary conditions have arisen
since July, when the commission
reached its decision. The roads con-
tend that their showing for the fiscal
year 1914 Is worse than had been esti-
mated, and that that condition now has
been aggravated by the effect Of the
European war On freight business in
the United States. Whether the roads
west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, which
were granted increases in the advance
rate decision, would ask for further re-
lief has not been indicated.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
FIGHT ON WAR TAX
viii Not FiIibuster But Pro-
lon1ed Debate Anticipated
Session May Merge With
the Next Assembly.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 15.-More
trouble is ahead for the war tax and
the hopes OF adjournment OF the SEES
sion early in October have gone glim-
mering. The republican senators held
a conference this morning on the war
tax. It was decided to make a hard
fight against 1t on the ground that with
proper economy no such imposition of
additional taxes is necessary. While
this does not mean a f1libuster, as 1t
looks now, ii means long and vigorous
debate. 1t may prevent any adjourn
ment and along with other legislative
developments, result In the present
session running into the short one in
December. The conference decided to
send for absent republicans who are
not engaged in campaigns. Senator
Cummins will not be asked to return,
because Of the fact he bore the brunt
of the fight TO get adequate trust legis-
lation.
President Has Plan.
A committee of five was named to
consider the war tax bill and Senator
Sterling made a member of II.
President Wilson. who returned to
Washington today, has been bordering
on the war tax question during his
brief vacation. He will oppose the
freight tax plan, according to close adj
isers A cabinet meeting was held
on his return and this gave no oppor-
tunity for an immediate conference
with Leader Underwood.
One Will be arranged soon, however,
and the president then is expected TO
say definitely what sort of taxes he
favors. Talk in White House circles
indicates that he looks with favor on
a stamp tax.

Limitations of PhiIantb

In a certain city an energetic asso-
citation secretary was just completing
his fund for a fine new building. One
night his wife was called out to a
case of distress, through which he got
an insight into the bad conditions sur
rounding working young women in his
city. After carefully getting I'D his
facts, he formed a committee, secured
speakers, and announced that on Fri
day there would be a public meeting
to consider the problem of the working
young women in local industries
Promptly he was summoned by teIe-
phone to meet the directors of his assoc
citation, and when he entered the room.
one of his Christian hackers burst ont
upon him with, What in HI do you
mean by getting up this public meet
ing? Don't you know I've got 80 girls
working in the basement OF INV de-
partment store?" His other directors
were equally stern, and he was ordered
to call off his meeting or lose all the
important contributions to his building
fund. He held his meeting and imme-
diately thereafter resigned.

Dead Not Yet Learned.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 15.-St. Louis &
San Francisco train No. 5, westbound,
known as the Texas Limited"
plunged into a cloudburst near Leban-
non, Mo-, 1872 miles southwest. Of here,
early today and before the engineer
could stop the train the track gave
way and the engine and four cars
rolled into a gully swollen by the flood.
Thirty-f five TO IS persons in two pas
senger coaches were drowned and
probably a score injured, the four
sleeping cars remained on the track
and the passengers IN those coaches
rushed forward to rescue those impris-
oned in the a submerged in IL feet
of water. BY noon &c bodies had been
recovered.
The engineer, describing his expert
ences, said h train was running slow
~ when the cloudburst occurred. A
wall of water swept across the track
and appeared to be rushing toward the
train. The engineer closed the throttle,
but just then the embGnkment beneath
gave away.
The names Of the identified dead

Most Of the dead were drowned in
the chair car and a great number of
those were women and children. Those
who were able to escape from their
watery prison fought their way out by
breaking windows and swimming to
shore. 1t is estimated there were 60
passengers in the chair a ].
Owing to Door communication with
the scene of the wreck, 1t is impossible
to give definite estimates ofThow many
escaped. None of the sleeping cars
left the track and the passengers in
these quickly formed themselves into
rescue parties. .
' Saw Family Drown.
One man in the chair car lost his wife
and five children. When the accident
occurred he was thrown clear OF the
descending chair car and swan to
shore, In the submerged a his wife

stood nearby unable to save them.
Heavy rains last week caused all the
small streams in the vicinity to rise.
The train was late because of the
flooded conditions. AS it passed Leb-
non according to reports reaching
here, it's speed was increased to make
up lost time.
