Sheriff Killed

Sheriff A. L. Klugman of Min
eral county, was accidentally
shot and killed at Superior last
week. A bunch of drunken
miners were causing some trouble
and some one went to the sher-
iff's room in the hotel to get him
to come down and quiet the rev.
elers. In dressing, the sheriff's S
gun fell to the floor and was dis
charged, the ball striking Klug-
man in the stomach, causing al
most instant death. Sheriff
Klugman was thirty years old
and a man highly respected and
we'll liked. by all who knew
him. He was Mineral county's
first sheriff and made an ideal
officer.

EXTEND POSTAL
SAVINGS SYSTEM

Every person in the United
States ten years old or over may
open an account in a postal sav-
ings bank after July 1st, accord
ing to an instructive leahet on
the postal savings system just
issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important ex-
tension of the service will be
made possible by permitting per-
sons living in communities so
sparsely settled as not to justify
the designation Of their local
post offices as regular postal saw
ings banks to open accounts by
mail.
Governor Dockery, third as
sistant postmaster general, who
has direct supervision of postal
savings, was so impressed by
appeals from all over the country
to open postal savings accounts
by mail that he took up the task
some weeks ago of working out
a feasible and safe method.
Under the plan adopted by the
postmaster general for opening
accounts by mail an intending
depositor, residing where there
is.no regularly designated postal
savings bank, will apply to his
local postmaster who will see
that necessary Identification data
is prepared and forwarded to a
nearby post Office authorized to
accept deposits. The intending
depositor will then be given per-
mission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money
order or registered mail direct to
the postmaster at the banking
point for which receipts or GER
tificates will be issued. He may
withdraw all or any part of his
postal savings by mail and on de-
mand together with any interest
that may be due him.
the new leahet points out that
any person ten years old or over
may open an account in his or
her own name; that an account
may be opened by a married
woman free from any control or
interference from her husband;

ROAD PERMIT GRANTED
ACROSS RESERVOIR SITE

For some time the county COM
missioners have been trying to
secure a right of way across the
Ninepipe reservoir for the Roman
Ravalli county road, but until
this week all their efforts have
been fruitless. This week, how
ever, they received from the
proper authorities a temporary
permit to build a road across the
reservoir site and we are in
formed the work of grading the
road will commence at once.
The level and low country over
which it has been necessary to
travel has made that part of the
road between here and Ravalli
almost impossible during the
wet seasons Of the year and that
the road is now to be graded will
be most welcome news to every
resident in this section. While
the government would grant
nothing except a temporary per-
NIT, still it is practically certain
that by the time the roadway is
overfowed with the waters of the
reservoir other and permanent
arrangements will have been
made.

Advice On Road Making

Don't drive in the ruts-
Don't drive in the tracks. Use
the whole surface of the road" "
Among other things which the
State Highway commission sug-
gests for workers to do on June
18th. which Governor Stewart
has designated as good roads
day" is to place signs along roads
which will ask people to use the
whole surface of the road and
not drive along in the other fel-
lows tracks until a deep rut is
worn.
Circulars have been received
by the commercial clubs, county
commissioners and others inter-
ested. The circulars suggest
that meetings be called in var
ious parts of each county, and
that commissioners should CO.
operate in every way possible to
make the work on the day sue
cess by arranging in exact detail
the work to be done in the var
ious ssections throughout their
counties.
Work which may be done on
Good Roads Day" includes the
following: Grading and cutting
down hills, filling low places,
grading up and widening bridge
and culvert approaches as we'll
as at railroad crossings. Chuck
holes should be the special work
of the volunteer workers and
they can all be filled up if the
work is we'll directed.
While the exact nature of the
work done in different parts of
the state will depend on the
weather, but here are a few
things which the Highway COM
mission says not to do: Don't
start more than you can
finish; don't haul rock or gravel
onto a road which is not properly
graded; don't scrape sod onto
travelled roadways and leave it
for traffic to smooth out. Don t
fail to come out and work on
June Is.

ITALY ENTERS
EUR0PE'S WAR

On Sunday last, Italy, the
eleventh nation to enter the
worlds war, threw down the
guage Of battle to Austria by is
suing a formal declaration of
war. Austrian and Italian troops
in vast numbers, in anticipation
of this action, were arrayed
against each other along the
mountainous border of the two
countries, while the warships of
Austria are at Polo ready to
strike. The Italian fleet, while
it's whereabouts is not known, is
ready for battle.
1t is estimated that the forces
at the front at the time of the
declaration of war would reach
one million on each side, with a
continuous stream of troops still
arriving.
In the war zone Austria was
the first to strike, simultaneously
attacking with aeroplanes and
torpedo boats several points along
the Italian coast. The attacks
were brief and little damage was
done.
Emperor Francis Joseph Of
Austria in a manifest to his
troops declares the action of Italy
as ''perfidy. ~ He says: "The
king of Italy has declared war on
me me. Perfdy whose like his
tory does not know, was COM
mitted by the kingdom of Italy
against both allies. After an
alliance Of more than 80 years
duration, during which it was
able to increase it's territorial
possessions and develop itself to
an unthought-of hourishing con-
dition, Italy abandoned us in our
hour of danger and went over
with flying colors into the camp
of our enemies. But the covet-
BUSINESS of Italy, which believed
the moment should be used, was
not to be appeased, so fate must
be accommodated"

Another Defeat

Romans base ball team suf-
fered another defeat last Sunday
at the hands of the Mission Reds.
The game throughout was full Of
errors and loose playing, show
ing the lack of practice of the

good plays, some bad, and with
luck a trife in favor of the WIS.,
itors they won by a score of 8 to
9.

that post office officials are for
hidden to disclose to any person,
except the depositor, the amount
of any deposits; that Withdrawals
may be made without any pre-
vious notice. and that the gov
ernment guarantees to repay all
deposits on demand with accrued
interest.
The leaf1et will be printed in
% foreign languages for dis
tribution through local post Of
fees. The foreign born citizen
has taken very kindly to postal
savings, and literature in his own
language will be Of great assist
ance to him. In recent article,
Postmaster General Burleson
commented on the foreign-born
depositor as follows:
Upwards of 500, 900 depositors
now have accounts in the Postal
Savings System and they repre-
sent every nationality on the
earth. They also represent al
most every known occupation
professional men, theatrical peo-
pie, mechanics, laborers, fisher
men, pack peddlers, etc. But
the majority are wage earners,
and of this class the foreign
born largely predominates. A
census of depositors taken by the
post office department shows that
approximately 40 per cent (200,-
0O0) of the depositors are for
eign-born citizens and that they
own more than so per cent of the
deposits splendid evidence of
the confidence of our newly-ac-
quired citizens in the ability and
good faith of their adopted coun-
tire to fulfill it's obligations.
''There is another reason which
led immigrants, unfamiliar with
our language and business meth
DDS, to turn to the government tc
safeguard their humble savings
and that reason is the disastrous
experiences many of them have
had by the failure of bogus
private banks" of1icered by
sWindlers of their own tongue
who have preyed mercilessly up
on their lonliness and credulity. "
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year.
During the eight months prior to
April 1st there was a net gain in
deposits Of $40, 900, 900, as
against $8,000,0OO for the same
months the year before. Thous-
ands Of new accounts have been
opened and the millions made up
largely of hidden savings have
been turned back into the chan
nels of trade just at a time when
there was pressing demand for
every dollar.
