Bankruptcy Will End

Special to The Telegraph

Detroit, Mich. Sept. 20.-"If 1 were
10 live with the future generations OF
Europe | would urge the people to
repudiate the debts that are being
piled up by their governments in this
war. / believe 1t is the duty of the
people to repudiate them. What right
have the governments of Europe to
impose on future generations the un-
bearable burden they are amassing
through this war;
Such and similar sentiments were
expressed to-day by Henry Ford, the
automobile manufacturer, in an inter-
view regarding means for overcoming
the forces of armament. Mr.. Ford
would welcome bankruptcy for the
belligerent nations to put an end to
the whole miserable business" and
prophesies the building of a new type
CT submarine which he terms a fish
boat to wipe the navies of the world
off the seas, making wars impossible
in the future.
The best thing that could happen
would be for the nations of Europe to
60 bankrupt; then they would be COM
PEELED to stop fighting" said Mr.. Ford.

Makes Good Report on
North Idaho Asylum

E. l.. Parker returned late last
week form his trip to Orofno and
reports everything looking fine
down there. The new board of
asylum trustees organized by
electing Geo. E. Erb, of Lewis
ton, as chairman and P. W.
Mitchell, of Nezperce, as secre-
tary, with Mr.. Parker, the long
term member, filling third place
on the board.
The new board made a thor
ough examination of the asylum
and found everything in first
class condition and the inmates
receiving as good treatment and
care as could be wished. DR.. J.
w. Givens, who has had charge
of the North Idaho asylum since
it was started, and who has been
engaged in this kind of work for
the past thirty years, was con-
tinued in Office by the new board.
The asylum has 235 inmates at
present and their maintenance is
costing the state about As cents
each per day. The asylum pro-
duces quite a bit toward it's own
maintenance in the way of frult,
vegetables, etc., and most of the
work on the asylum farm is done
by the more capable inmates.
Mr.. Parker says the wards and
buildings generally are as clean
as it is possible for them to be
kept and there does not seem to
be any complaint about condi-
tions there, either from the in
mates or people residing in the
community.

LOCAL TRAIN
HELD UP
First Hold-Up in History of
the Camas Prairie Road was
Pulled Off Here Monday
No Bad Results.

1t is indeed seldom that a train
hold-up occurs any more in the
west, and especially in such pop
ulated districts as central Idaho.
In former years train hold-ups
were actual occurrences in some
sections of the far west but even
in those days the hold-ups were
for the purpose of relieving the
railroad company of its coin
rather than to turn good money
into the Golfers of such grasp
ing monopoly. Be this as it may,
a train hold-up did actually occur
here on Camas prairie last Mon
day morning and it was pulled
off right at the Cottonwood sta
ton in spite of the united efforts
of four good train men to prevent
the catastrophe, if suchi it might
be termed. That the hold-up was
a real one is assured and you can
secure proof from Agent Poler if
you don't wish to take our word
for it.
The hold-up was the result of
a number of citizens of this Sec
ton striking on the same day to
make extended visits east and
the delay was occasioned by rea-
son of the time required in max
ing out their coupon tickets and
the large amount of writing
needed in filling out each ticket.
Although Agent Poler was loyal
ly assisted in this work by three
competent assistants from the
Lewiston Office, who happened to
be in town that morning, it was
necessary to hold the train fully
eight minutes beyond Its regular
departing time and even ther
the Lewiston men had to com
plete some of the tickets on the
train.
Those leaving that morning
and whose departure csused al
the furry in the railroad depart
ment in taking care of theil
tickets, baggage, ETC., were

rem and her nephew, Herber

party cf four other persons

1t is estimated that the hold-uI
enriched the local railroad office
to the tune of nearly a thousand
dollars that morning and Agent
Poler states is was the busiest
session he has had for many days

At Work on Cotton
wood Hill Road

D. B. Denham, road overseer
for the Westlake district Of the
Ferdinand Highway district, was
in town late last week and stated
that the commissioners of their
highway district had accepted
the subscription of money raised
by the business men of Cotton
wood to assist in changing the
present road over Cottonwood
hill and that he had moved
his tools and equipment to the
new right of way and erected a
camp there and would begin work
at once in clearing the brush and
small trees from the right of way
preparatory to inaugurating act
i've work on the new road.
Mr.. Denham has been working
for the past three years to secure
this change and the donation of
some 5000 by the business men
of Cottonwood toward the project
has finally resulted in the realiza.
ton of his hopes. The new road
will be a valuable trade avenue
for Cottonwood and may later
become a connecting link in &

To see him come and to hear his voice.

For the sake of those who at home await.

ill.
From present indications it
does not look favorable for a ball
team in Cottonwood this summer,
although it is still rather early to
determine definitely. A baseball
meeting was called one night last
week to talk over the situation
but as none of the business men
turned out it was decided they
did not want a ball team this sea-
son and the matter pas dropped.
However, as the season progress
es and other towns get busy on
the diamond we hope to see the
local fans come to life and put
out a winning team again this
summer.
