BUYING IDAHO HORSES

GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET RID
OF ANIMALS TOO LIGHT
FOR FARM WORK.

Owners Of light horses in central
Idaho are asking too much money for
their stock and unless the European
war is greatly prolonged they will be
holding their stock after the war is
closed" said Robert Jones Of Wisdom,
Mont, who departed from Lewiston
Saturday for Walla Walla and eastern
oregon points. Mr.. Jones has a con-
tract with a New York firm to supply
horses for the French government, and
visited this section in the hope of
picking up large shipment here. He
stated that he and his associates have
shipped several thousand horses out Of
Montana and will receive big ship

Class of Horses Wanted.

"Our requirements are for horses
weighing from 900 to 1900 pounds and
Is or 16 hands high" continued Mr..
Jones. This is class Of horses for
which there Is little demand in normal
times and of little value on the farms.
The European war has opened a mar
ket for this grade of horses and if the
owners were willing to accept a reas-
enable price every horse of this class
could be shipped out of the northwest
within the next few weeks
1.-THE contractors are operating on a
close margin and the French govern
ment is willing to pay all this class of
horses is worth. TO the stockmen in
terested in the breeding Of the larger
horses and the improvement Of horse
breeding on the farms, 1t would seem
an opportunity is being presented at
this time to rid the northwest states
of a class of horse that is retarding the
development of the horse industry In
this section. Montana and Oregon are
taking advantage Of the opportunity
offered and there are large sections in
eastern Washington where the owners
of light horses are seeking the war
market Such localities within short
time will have only the larger and
more valuable horses while the Idaho
country will retain what the horsemen

Sell Light Stock.

There is no telling when the French
buyers will shift to other countries and
when this occurs the market for the
light horses will cease as suddenly as
It developed. 1t is our purpose to con-
fine our operations to Montana after
the deliveries now scheduled have been
made, but there will be other buyers in
central Idaho country as long as the
market continues and it would be my
advice to horse owners to get rid OF
their light stock at a reasonable price

Strong Sympathy Of Country
for Allies Shown by
Premier's Speech.
SERvIA'S FINISH IS IN SIGHT
Reports Say Mountain Nation Can Not
Withstand Austria's Assaults
Longer-Big Battle
In Poland.
(Snnlma,y Of Eveuts.)

Since the extraordinary meet
ing of the Italian parliament late
last week, followed by a special
conference of the ministry, in
which Italy was shown to be over
whelmingly favorable to the AL
lies, it is announced that the
Southern Europe kingdom may go
to war within two weeks.
"Italy's sympathies and her sense
Of obligation draw her to the side OF
the members Of the Triple Entente"
says a semi-official dispatch from
Rome. "The nation has been unable
to enter the war heretofore because
of lack Of military equipment and
naval readiness. During the last four
months these difficulties have been
remedied, however, and the country
will be well able to look after her
best interests from this time forward" !"
In notable speech to the Italian
parliament Prime Minister Salandra
declared there is no clause in the
treaty with Germany and Austria
which in any way binds Italy to aid
those nations. 'If these countries,
which have failed in their coercive
measures to draw Italy into the con-
fiict, persist in accusing Italy of dis
loyalty" Salandra said, Italy will
publish the full text of this confiden-
tial treaty and show the world that
her present position is well justified"

Warsaw Safe Again.

Russian Poland is still the center
of interest in the war situation so far
as military operations are concerned.
Reports from the rival headquarters
indicate that any decisive result on
either side is still in the balance, al
though on the face of the known facts
the conviction is growing that the
German general, Mackensen, has done
at Lodz what Bazaine in the Franco
Prussian war failed to do at Metz, he
has saved his army after it was en-
circled by the enemy.
Germans Escape Trap.
A Berlin dispatch says that great
story of success for the German troops
has come to light in the fighting near
Lodz. The German forces were oper-
ating against the right flank and in
the rear of the Russians when they,
in their turn, were attacked by Rus
SLAMS who pressed them hard, coming
from the east and south.

Lose Feet From Cold.
Officers invalided from the Allies
front say there are at present about
$500 officers and men suffering
from frozen feet in the base hos.

must have one or both feet amputat-
ed, owing to the deadening Of the

Servia's Finish Seen,

The end of Servia is in sight. Re-
ports from war headquarters in south
eastern Europe indicate that the lit
tie mountain kingdom which started
the present conflict is about to be
wiped out. Servia has fought Austria,
her big northern neighbor for cen
turies, trying to preserve her racial
and national independence-but the
end Is in sight
Dispatches from London, Petrograd
and Vienna say that 100000 of the
Servian army-One-third of her adult
male population-have been killed or
wounded since the war began. Be
cause of the greater conflict else
where in Europe the campaign in the
southeast has gone along with scant
notice. but it has been a war of exter-
mination. In the operations of Aus
tria against the Serbs in the last three
weeks, 10000 Serbs have been taken
prisoner.
Austrians Take Belgrade.
Belgrade, capital of Servia until the
beginning Of the war, the city where
the first heavy fighting of the war
oSSuiiSa, hdo DcCll olCupltu DS lue
Austrians. The Serbs held out four
months, then evacuated the place.
Belgrade was frequently under bonn
bardment early in the war and but for
the general European conflict which
compelled Austria to send her troops
against Russia must have fallen an
easy prey to Servia's big neighbor. APP
parently Austria miscalculated the ma
ture Of the Servian opposition and only
after Bosnia was invaded did she send
a sufficient force against the Servians
to drive them back.
Now they are being forced backward
and are eagerly looking for the ad-
vance of the Russians into Hungary
to afford them re lief. Russia has
been sending Cossack raiding parties
through the Carpathians with the OBJ
ject OF diverting Austria's attention,
but the dual monarchy seemingly is
determined to finish with Servia first.

While there is every indication that

banquet announced at Mexico City
last night he had received a telegram
from one OF the Huerta generals, Jose
Maria M!er stating an American war
ship had bombarded the port of Man
zanfllo. on the west coast OF Mexico
This was closely followed by an.
other announcement by Banquet that
American marines had landed at Sa-
lima Cruz after the American com
mander had threatened to fire on the
port in case the Mexican officials of
fered resistance.
Neither report has been confirme ed
although the Navy Department got
into communication with the Pacific
coast fleet Immediately upon receipt
OF the information from Mexico City
The scope of mediation plans for the
settlement of the Mexican crisis was
suddenly brcadened so as to include
the entire range OF Mexican affairs
not alone the critical issue between
the United States and the Huerta
TeSiIut, bul also tllt conflict between
the elements of northern and south
ern Mexico which have rent the re
public.
This signal enlargement of the me-
dfation program followed the receipt,
late in the day, of formal acceptance
by General Carranza, chief of the Con
stitutional forces. of the principle Of
mediation as proposed by the ambas-
sador from Brazil and the ministers
from Argentina and Chile.
Earlier in the day the medators
made another decisive move In asking
the United States and General Huerta
to agree to an armistice by which all
aggressive military movements would
be suspended pending the outcome OF
the negotiations. The mediators con,
fidently expect both sides to accept
the armistce proposal.
A separate proposal for an armistice
as between Huerta and Carranza will
also be made, and with it's acceptance
all of the warning elements throughout
Mexico, as well as the American
forces, would maintain a military
status quo The American govern
ment, in its formal reply to the ar
mistice proposal, will expressly stipu
late that any untoward act against
Americans will be regarded as an in
fraction of the armistice.
