the feeting moments until the mid
night hour approached, when two
course luncheon was served by the
host and hostess, assisted by Mrs.
Anna Mockler and Miss Mockler.
This was another feast just such de-

FATAL ACCIDENT
Lester c. Wilson Killed Tuesday by
Big Log Rolling Upon Him and
Fracturing Neck.

Forest, Feb. 2-Lester C. Wilson,
the l7.year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
w. ]. Wilson, was almost instantly
killed at 11:3O this morning by being
crushed by a log at the decking
grounds OF the Morey Lumber COM
pany, west of Forest.
1t seems young Wilson was working
in the logging crew and in handling
one of the big logs onto the deck, the
hook slipped in such manner as to
cause the log to swing and catch his
head and shoulders. The neck was
fractured and death was almost instan-
taneous.
The parents Of the young man re-
side east of Forest and his body was
rushed home and DR.. E. B. Rogers, of
Winchester, was summoned in the
hope that he might be resuscitated.
DR.. Rogers arrived at the home about
as soon as the body reached there but
the examination at once showed that
the young man was killed by the CON
tact with the log. It is probable the
funeral will be conducted from the
family residence on Thursday and in
terment will be made in the cemetery
at Mouowtown.
Lester Wilson was an industrious
boy and was favorite with the men
with whom he worked in the woods.
The logging operations have been
rushed during the past few days be-
cause of the break in the weather and
the rapid melting of the snow. The
report received here would indicate
that no blame can be attached to any
one for the distressing accident today.

Farmers Union Rallies.

| On Monday the Farmers Unior
rally Of the Mohler local was pulled
off as per schedule. Owing to the
unfortunate turn in the elements the
meeting was not as we'll attended as
had been anticipated, but fairly
good crowd assembled at the Frater-
nal Hall and promptly at . p. m. the
meeting was called to order by Chas.
McCollister, president Of the local.
Hon. James Sorenson, who is mem
her of the local and also the present
mayor of the city of Mohler, deliver
T ed an able address of welcome, to
which G. w. Perrine, state organic
er and lecturer, responded on the
part Of the Union. He pointed out
the splendid results the Union had
accomplished and that it was grow
ing to such a proportion where it had
to reach out to newer fields.
The question of needed legislation
was taken up and considered from a
non-partizan stand point and it was
reported by one of the members of
the county legislative committee that
things looked very encouraging for
the naturalization of the requests
made by the tri-county convention
on the legislative body at Boise.
Those attending the meeting from
the Nezperce local we're N. H. JAG
obs, T. F. Jacobs, S. w. Tanning,
P. A. Olson and Richard Johnson.
We understand that the Mohler
boys are laying plans for another
rousing meeting in the near future
for the purpose of taking up the
slack and that they expect bigger
delegation from Nezperce at that
time.

AT RUSSELL.

The Russell Farmers Union rally,
which took place last Saturday, was
one of those good old elbow-rubbing
meetings to which about rs families
responded with well-flled baskets.
fG. w. Perrine of Colfax, Wash.
delivered an able address on the
needs and advantages of organiza-
ton on the part of the farmers
which was we'll received by the
crowd. After which the tables were
spread for the best that the talent
and soil of this country is able to
produce. Emil Brown, Fred Korling
and Jake Schlader, who were the
committee on arrangements certain
ly did themselves honor, while Frank
James assisted the ladies in carving
the chickens, country sausage, beef,
mutton, pork chops, pies, cakes etc,
because 1t was an endless variety OF
good things. Fred Koriing, who
acted as chief brewing master in
preparing the table beverages GER
tainly delivered the goods, as each
fresh batch was little stronger
than the previous one. Fred learn
ed the trade in the old country and
he says that it's the kind that they
are feeding the German soldiers on
and which makes them fight so like
demons.
After the feast was over, the
Union members went into executive
session and initiated class of %
candidates into the order, 20 of whom

MARION c. ADAMS
HANGS HIMSELF
Deed Committed After Brooding Over
Ill-HeaIth-- --Funernl Friday
Afternoon at Two.

This community was greatly shocked
last evening TO learn that Marion C
Adams, who owns a ranch near the
Cottonwood crossing of Lawyers can
yon, had committed suicide at the
farm home Of Chas. DeSchamp, few
miles east of Nezperce, by hanging
himself in the COW stable, some time
earlier in the day.
1t appears that Mr.. Adams was tenn
porarily staying at the DeSchamp farm,
doing odd jobs, and was first missed
by the family at about ten O'Clock in
the forenoon. Mr. DeSchamp had
gone after load of hay and when he
returned he was informed of the ab-
sence Of Mr.. Adams, and he began to
look about the premises for him; but
thinking that perhaps he had gone to
neighbors, or taken stroll, his
search was not very definite, and he
went in to eat dinner.
After the meal, along about three
o'clock, and while preparing to unload
the hay, he had occasion to visit the
COW section of his barn, and there he
found the body of the unfortunate man
hanging, cold in death.
Marion c. Adams, the subject of the
above, was born in the state of Oregon
a few days more than 81 years and g
months ago, and came to this section
OF Idaho about Is years ago; at about
the time this reservation was thrown
open for settlement The greater part
of his residence here he had devoted
to teaching school.
Deceased had not been in the very
best of health for a number of years,
and has been known to brood over this
aff1iction as well as his inability to per-
form we'll mans work; and this is at
tributed as one of the principal causes
for committing the rash act

the Nezperce high school, and son,

Could You Spare Your Mail Route?


The European war has caused &
a great falling off in the revenues ol
: this government, through reduced
imports here, and the administration
is seeking ways and means of meet
ing this shortage by cutting down
expenses. In this connection, it has
been suggested that many of the
rural mail routes In the country han
die only small quantity of mail
might be done away with.
| Postmaster General Burleson also
contends that big saving could be
made if the whole rural delivery
system was put on contract-basis.
Both ideas are generally opposed,
especially in the rural districts, be-
cause the free delivery of mail has
become such a fixed condition in the
general business scheme that to
make any radical change in it would
tend to throw the country into a de-
plorably unsettled state.
The looping off of the weaker
routes would put the patrons thereof
at disadvantage with those who
still had the benefit of the rural de-
livery service. The adoption of the
contract system would put the SER
vice on a par with the old star-route
system, which was continual an
Lnoyance 10 all concerned.
1t is up to patrons of routes, how
ever, to see that theirs will not be
among those discontinued for want
of patronage. Every family on the
route should get his mail through the
carrier. During the next few
months all rural mail will be weighed
about three times as often as hereto
fore, so that the weaker routes can
be located. In the meantime the
people should get together and ar
range plans for keeping their service
going-write your representatives in
congress; talk the matter up among
your neighbors; leave nothing un-
done to keep your route on the live
list.
Taking alarm over the reports that
rural routes would he discontinued or
reduced ia the event the Department |
believe such action justihable be-
cause of the small amount of mail |
handled, the Milan (Tenn.) Ex-
change, in its issue q January 7,
says:
1--WE do not know what foundation
there is for these fears, but we know
that any change to curtail or discon-
tinue the service in this section would
be stubbornly resisted and resented
by the rural population in this part
Of the country, where the service has
grown immensely as to the volume of
business and public favor.
'The people in general would
consider it a mistake and step
backward should any material
change be made in this great service.
The R. F. D. carriers are now
and Weighing all merchan-
lise for this month and these reports
will no doubt figure as to the future
# the R. F. D. service. We do not F,
anticipate any material change in the
ervice at this office, as it is believed
hat all routes here are at least on
n average with others throughout {
he country; however, it would be t
7ell for the patrons of all route to
et busy and take papers and other ]
rise patronize their routes for all i
hey are worth and thereby convince

The House was crowded. and the Pre-
mier's speech was listened TO earnestly
and silently. In the Peers's Gallery,
Lord Fisher, the former First Sea
Lord, and Earl Derby, director of re-
cruiting, occupied the most prominent
position, above the clock.
Redmond Opposes Draft.
Although the Premier did not put
himself on record as either for or
against CONSUMPTION, John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationaists. at the
close of Mr. Asquith's speech, flung a
bombshell by declaring that the Ma
tionalists would oppose conscription by
every means in their power. And John
Dillon followed with severe arraign-
ment of the British war leadership. He
said:
Before we sanction the fourth mill
ION of men We ought to be told what is
the basis of the governments demand.
In no case have the failures Of the war
been due 20 lack of men, and before
the government enforces consumption
the men responsible for these failures
must be removed.
What is the use OF sending more
troops 10 be led by men like those re-
sponsible for the Suyla Bay and Anzac
failures"
Hits at Lethargy.
The Premier's statement of the need
of the army for "every I man. includ-
ed n warm tribute TO the overseas sol
diers. an he took pains TO mention
particularly 1.-THE men eager to be at
| tested who have made application from
far distant places-Hong Kong, Rhode
STA. California" adding:
/ This has been commentary on the
| lethargy Of some of those here al home
No more splendid exhibition of patriot
! ism and self-denial could be conceived
or one more calculated TO carry con-
viction TO the hearts Of all our gallant
Allies"
Referring to the DER scheme, Mr..
Asquith said that the report from Lord
Derb had only been sent 10 him Mon
day evening, and was now being con-
sidered by the membe Of the Cabinet.
Therefore. any statement regarding the
government policy on this subject must
be deferred. lie indicated, however,
that smother chance would be given
