The plant of the Rexburg Milling
Co., at Rexburg, Idaho, recently de-
stroyed by fire with a loss of 100000,
will be built on larger scale.

when the same is secured will be
known as the First National Bank of
Bonners Ferry. The capital of the
bank has been increased to $500
with a surplus of $4,000.
Nearly $2O,O0O,0O0 was expended by

compiled. The exact amount is &c.,
735,S0S.73. The statement further

pear on the payroll annually and that

REPORT ITALY WITH THE ALLIES
Germans Advised by ConsuIs tc
Leave Italy.

London-The relations between
Italy and Austria are believed to
have reached an acute stage. A dis
patch Monday from Rome says Aus
trian and German subjects have been
advised by their consuls to leave Italy
in the shortest possible time, and
that number of Germans who recent
ly arrived in Italy are being watched
because of the suspicion that they are
military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts to secure
the continued neutrality of Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory were not meeting with
success. Italy, it was said, was de-
manding that the territory be handed
over to her at once, but the Teutonic
allies desired to make the transfer
after the war.
Following this came reports that
Austria had commenced strengthening
the southern frontier, and according
to a dispatch received in Paris from
Rome Monday, Italian officers of all
arms belonging to the first line, who
have been on half pay, have been
called to the colors

IS RUSSIAN VICTORY.
CAPTURE OF PRZEMYSL FORT
TOOK PLACE WITHOUT A
FIERCE FIGHT.
TAKE OVER $4,000 PRISONERS
Capture of Austrian Stronghold Con-
sidered Master Stroke of War in
East-Big Investing Army Re-
leased for Other Work.

Pearograd- Przemysl garrison
which capitulated to the Russian army
Monday, surrendered without a fight
The hosting of the white flag over
this fortress, which was said to be
on the point of surrender on a number
of occasions, caused little surprise, as
it was generally known that it was in
terribly weakened condition. with
durance was only question of days.
War office advices report that nine
Austrian generals were taken, more
than 300 officers and $4,000 men.
The Russian general commanding
the investing army has been deco
rated with St Georges cross.
A heavy snowstorm failed to check
the enthusiastic demonstrations in
which the civil and military popula-
tons united when the fall of Przemysl
was announced The crowds, floun-
dering in deep drifts which tied up
street traffic, cheered the officers and
soldiers who remained to participate
in the celebration.
From the Kazan cathedral the
strains of the national anthem swelled
in volume as the crowd gathered, and
from other points throughout the city
mysteriously hidden behind the dense
curtain of falling snow, music burst
forth and added to the general spirit
of enthusiasm.
The moral effect of the victory on
Russia, it is expected, will be very
great, awakening hopes that this will
be the turning point in the Galiciar
and Carpathian campaign
Great Surrender.
The size of the garrison al
Pdzemysl and the number of mer
who surrendered to the Russians
greatly exceed all estimates. Ac
cording to dispatches received from
Petrograd Tuesday the garrison orig
inally consisted of 10000 men OF
whom 10000 were killed. Just under
10000 surrendered when the fortress
capitulated.
