President Wilson is authorized by the House bill to purchase all or any part of the equipment of the canal commission and use it in the work of railroad building in Alaska, and he may place his own price upon it.. That considerable equipment, tracks, engines, dump carts and other ma terial will be used is now foregone conclusion.
 The bill also provides that the in terstate commerce commission shall have the power to regulate the rates for freight upon the road.

WHEAT RECEIVERS IN
CHICAGO AFTER RISE

CHICAGO. Aug. Each day brings |
some fresh influences in the foreign
situation, affecting the Chicago wheat
trade. The most important feature on
the horizen for the day is the French
decree removing duty on imports and
the probability that number of old
importing countries mixed up in the
war preparations will do likewise.
They are forced into this position by
the fact that the biggest foreign ex-
porting country. Russia, will prohibit
exports Of grain if there is to be any
thing like a general war
Liverpool turned a somersault Sat
urdty morning because Of a rumor that
Italy will remain neutral in the war
game and the later news that French
duty Is removed by a decree. In the
end the English market was to

The tone Of the corn trade was Sd

very good authorities in this trade
say that there will be a revival of ex-
port sales OF wheat as soon as Eng.

THE NEWS FROM MEXICO
Let Not Familiarity Persuade Us War
Is Comedy.

| (From the Columbia, S. c., State.)
You sit over your breakfast coffee
and read with something of pleasure
that Villa has caught and executed
Castillo, who, before had trapped and
burned to death some so human be-
ings.
For long time we have been reading
this sort of stuff over our coffee, and
the executions and the victims are
neither of them better than flies to
excite our sympathy by the fact of
their deaths.
So soon we become accustomed to
war. Let one individual shoot another
in front of the Columbia postoffice and
the tongue of the town would wag as
with a hundred thousand clappers to
its bells of comment and gossip.
Let Villa stand 100 federals against a
wall and shoot them dead-or the other
way around-and it is: please pass
the eggs"
The better politics seems to be that
we should let this drama at our very
doors work itself out without contrib
uting any American blood-to say
nothing of money-to it's realistic
features; but do not, for that reason,
consider it q comedy
People who stand up to be shot, and
people who are willing to shoot them,
must have something of earnestness
behind it all which we may concede-
if we cannot understand.

that time that promises had to be
made to send more on the return

This year the Idaho women will go
fore-armed, not only with the special
addition of the Club Women, which
will be especially prepared for adj
vertising. purposes, but with itera-
ture from every commercial club in
the state, for the club women will
play no favorites when it comes to
county publicity
With the delegation will be several
affections who will receive
special consideration from the Chicago
and much publicity can
be gained through this channel also.
The women expect to have spe-

means that at least 10 must go. AL
