Acting Secretary Roosevelt Of the
navy department., sent to Secretary
Lansing a formal report tonight on
the escape of the men, his letter. fol-
lowing a conference with the secre.
tary of state.
If it is determined from the report
that the general parole, covering all
officers and men of their crew, given
by the commanders Of the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and the Prinz Ethel Fried
rick, when these ships were interned
can be constructed as a personal obli'
cation upon the two commissioned
officers missing from the Eitel, the
German Government probably will be
asked to return Lieutenant Koch and
DR.. Kroneck to the custody of the
United States in event they reach
German soil.
No trace of the missing Germans
had been reported tonight.
The trial of Kenneth G.. Priest, the
young former Princeton student held
in London as a German spy, has been
postponed indefinitely at the request
of the state department, according to
a dispatch from London tonight to
the state department. 1t was ex
planned that the postponement did not
mean a decision not to bring Priest
to trial. State department officials
however, would not be surprised If the

Freight Traffic Is
Heaviest Since 1907

New York, Oct. 21.-A general re-
vival Of freight traffic, unequaled
since 1907, was reported today by al
most every railroad entering New
York City or with terminals on the
New Jersey shore across the Hundson
river. At the Office of the Erie rail
road, it was said that the tonnage fig
ures for last month available today
showed that the business done in Sep
TENDER, 1915, was the greatest ever
recorded on the books of the company
during the operations Of the road.
Tonnage on the Baltimore & Ohio
is moving and has increased 40 per
cent, it was said, within 80 days. The
New Haven railroad is moving more
freight today, it was said, than it has
moved for years before. Steamship
companies have pressed into service
every possible craft to carry the enor.
nous volume of exports across the
Atlantic and are working vessels at
top speed.
Most of the big business to New
York are for exports, it was said,
and the shortage of ships have been
almost acute though conditions today
are reported as better than a month
ago. There is hardly a pier in the
city where merchandise is not piled
high.

that city instead of Hastings, although
much nearer to this place. He con-
siders the local mail of secondary i'm.

be one day later by way of rural route
from Hastings. He suggests that our
route can be laid out to serve others
who now have no mail service.

Nearly hundred OF the representa-
tive business men of the city and some
from other parts of the state accepted
the invitation of the Northwest Muir.
sery Co. on Tuesday of the past
week and made a tour of in
spection of their grounds and pack
ing plant. 1t proved to be an eye
opener to many of the guests and
should prove to be good boost for
our city, as many people do not rea-
lie the extent of the business done by
this wide-awake company who are
shipping their homegrown trees and
shrubs into all the surrounding states
and helping to build up the reputation
of the city and state by the quality of
their stock and their businesslike
methods There were over 20 automo-
biles in the procession which went
over the greater part of the grounds.
Several stops were made to permit
the gentlemen to inspect the blocks OF
hardy, prairie grown fruit and shade
trees, shrubs and small fruits, which
being native to our soil and climate,
can hardly fail to grow and thrive if
properly planted and cared for, and
which would add many dollars of value
to the farms and city homes by their
beauty and productiveness.
The company has about 375 acres of
ground with over 200 set to trees.
This compares favorably with many of
the big firms in the eastern part of the
country, many Of whom do not have
nearly so large an acreage, but who
depend on buying from others. The
Northwest Nursery raises it's own
stock and ships out good substantial
stock, native grown, to their custo-
mers and their guarantee is back of it,
and they willingly replace anything
that fails to grow if properly cared for.
So extensive have they become in
their business that this year a new
packing shed was an absolute neces-
sity, and with the doubling Of their
sales over last years, their splendid
new building is hardly adequate to &C.
commodate the force of men that are
kept busy packing the stock for ship
ment in carload lots, by express, mail
and all other methods possible to get
it to the people in the quickest way
and the best condition. This year
their sales will run about 100000.
Already they have advance orders for
next years delivery. They have about
rs statesmen covering this and adjoin-
ing states, and all are enthusiastic
boosters for the prairie grown stock.
There are 40 employed on the grounds,
in addition to the office force.
It was an interesting sight to watch
the packers in the sheds collecting,
sorting, packing and wrapping the diff
ferent varieties and putting them up
in good substantial shape for their
long trips out to the various parts of
the country. The utmost care is used,
to keep the stock from getting mixed
as to varieties, and the whole system
moves like clockwork, it being care
fully planned from start to finish. Al
together the inspection was an educa-
ton and an inspiration, and each and
every one present felt proud to think
that their city could boast of such a
splendid institution.
But the inspection of the grounds
and the buildings was not the only

VIII Contest For 49,. 49,. :.
Supreme Bench

Bismarck, Oct. PA great deal of
interest in political centers in the cleo
ton of three judges next November.
1t is common knoyledge that Chief
Justice Fisk and Justices Burke and
Goss are candidates for reelection and
that there will be probable opposition.
However, the opposition has not yet
conferred upon any particular candi-
dates, and is seems quite probable
that there will be no serious opposi-
ton to their denomination at the June
primaries.
Guy Divet, Of Wahpeton, received
considerable mention in connection
with the position at the conclusion of
the last legislative assembly, but aft
er a canvass of the situation Divet, it
is said, had decided not to become
candidate. Ex-Chief Justice Spauld-
ing and ex-Justice Carmody have been
considered in connection with the po-
sition, but it is understood that they
will not be candidates. Several of
the district judges have been more or
less inclined to become candidates, but
after a canvass of the field, it seems
quite certain that there will be no as
pirants among the district judges for
appellate honors.
That there will be candidates is
probable, but so far as can be judged
at the present time, they will not be
men of statewide reputation or Of po-
litical strength.
If the members Of the court whose
term Of Office expire year from next
January have to face serious con.
test to succeed themselves, it will be
next November rather than next June.
If the ice is once broken, 1t is prob
able that there will be. a multitude of
candidates in June. Men with ambi-
ton to become supreme court judges.
will not sit idly by and see lawyers of
their own rank enter the contest with
out shying their own casters into the
ring and becoming candidates. In q
contest with multiplicity of candi-
dates, the present incumbents will
have little difficulty in being renomi-
mated.
From the present outlook Chief JUS
tice Fisk and Justices Burke and Goss
will be renominated.

Fire prevention work is being done by
fire departments all over the United
States, and it is hoped that the enor-
nous property losses and losses of life
from fire can be reduced by preventing
fires. The business men and proper

Pinched

There were some deer hunters in
the Boise section who, after being
successful in the field, had all their
good fortune desert them on their
way home. The hunters were E. Sch
weiger and Julius Kiker, of Boise,
and they had gone up the Boise riv-
er on a hunting excursion. On their
way out, in a covered wagon, they
met Deputy Game Warden E. F.
Boren and after telling the officer
that their luck had been good, each
man having secured two deer, the
wagon was searched when nine deer
were found.
The hunters were taken before a
justice of the peace at Arrowrock
and fined 5000 with costs, and then
to cap the climax, all the game was
confscated. They were placed on
sale by the state on Monday of this
week, it being provided that only
six pounds would be sold to each
person and the price was fixed at 25
cents pound.

Thousands OF Stock
Will Be On Exhibit
No State Coin

Now that the California authori-
ties have announced that none of
the show herds from the corn belt
will be admitted to the state, it
strikes our Idaho breeders doubly
hard that there is 10 state money
to encourage their showing at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition. 1t is
true that some of the National
Breeders Association have pulled
down the money for showing in
their class, but, some of them have
pro-rated it. which would mean
that western breeders would still
have chance at some of it, at the
same time have an exceptional op-
portunity to secure awards and
prizes that would be of estimable
value for their herds and the state
from whence shown. There is little
use to cry over spilled milk, but the
action of those in authority in not
providing for live stock represent.
alton from Idaho will rankle for
years.

Juliaetta News

Juliaetta, Nov. .-Juliaetta has
shipped out eight car loads of hogs
this season and there will be several
car loads of the porkers yet to be
shipped. the writer recently learn
ed from an authoritative source that
the big Heinze picking concern is
now experimenting with a small
white bean that is quite successfully
grown in the Potlatch section, and
should the bean prove to be adapt
able to their needs, it is assured that
big factory for the canning of
pork and beans will be established
either at Juliaetta of Kendrick.
We raise the pork, we grow the
beans-why not save the freight
charges from Philadelphia? Why
not supply this food stuff from JUL
iaetta or Kendrick for the entire
northwest?
Want Electric Service
Juliaetta citizens are jubilant over
the prospect of getting their light
and power service from the new
plant which is being installed at
Kendrick. Electricity for our local
plant is generated by water from a
millrace. In the summer the water
is too low; in the winter there is
too much ice. So when the summer
and winter is taken out of the year,
little is left for the consumer to
enjoy. Owing to the local people
having a franchise it will be nec-
cessary for the Kendrick concern
to buy or lease the local equipment,
but what Juliaetta wants is service.

Kendrick Light Plant
To Supply Troy.
Will Run High Tension Along
American Ridge to Neigh
boring Town.

1t has been finally decided by the
manager of the Potlatch Electric
Company to extend the service,
which he has already offered to
Kendrick, to the town of Troy and
the wheat growers and orchards
owners along the crest of American
ridge. The Troy plant has been
purchased from the Washington
Water Power Company by the mana
ger of the local Company and the
actual work of building the tension
line has been under way for over
week.
The current for the lighting of
Troy and the intervening farming
country will be transmitted over
the line at a potential of 1000
volts; and, in order to raise and
lower the voltage from 230O to the
higher voltage at each end Of the
line, there will be substation in
addition to the regular generating
machinery. Each substation will
consist of two large transformers
and the necessary protective appara-
tus such as switches and lightning
arresters.
The line itself will be built ac-
cording to the latest practice. The
three conductors are of No. 6 steel
and are supported on high tension
insulators. The poles are thirty
five feet high and Of the finest red
, cedar obtainable.
The generating plant at Kendrick
has been doubled in size and two
engines with separate generators
will insure service in case of an
accident to either engine. The
engines are direct-connected to their
generators, thus doing away with
the drive belts which often cause
much trouble in other plants.
The plant is fast nearing compile
tion and, as soon as the generating
machinery arrives, it will be put
into operation. Everyone in the
district is welcome to inspect the
plant after it's completion and actual
operation has commenced.
| Service to Troy from the Ken
drick will be instituted upon the
expiration of the present steam con-
tract with the Troy Lumber and
Manufacturing Company. Twenty
four hour service will be maintain

McKeever will be the manager OF
the new firm. Walker Thomas book
keeper and Henry Hill timer and
plummer. The new firm reports
that they have ordered several ship.
ments of new goods to fill in the old
stock to make it complete in every
respect. The old Lincoln Met Crea
firm has always been known as one
of the best hardware stocks in the
west and the new firm expects to
keep this record up and still a better
one. Goods are being bought at
right prices so they can be retailed
to the trade at prices that they cam
not afford to deal else where. The
interior of the building is | e ng
cleaned and painted and when the
now stock arrives the store will b.
an attractive one.
