THRILLING RESCUE OF YOUNG
WOMEN.

Cork-Two young women, who trav-
eled from New York on the Lusitania
told of their rescue at the last moment,
almost by a miracle. Their experien-
ces may be taken as a sample OF what
hundreds OF other women had to en-
dure on that fatal Friday afternoon.
The young women, Miss Barrett
and Miss Macdonald. were travelling
together in the second-class cabin.
Miss Macdonald was floating about for
three and half hours before she was
picked up. and she had hardly re-
covered from the effects OF her terrible
experiences.
Miss Barrett. who carries bold
spirit in a slight frame, was able TO
give perfectly connected and vivid
account OF what happened. She said:
1--WE had gone into the second sa.
loon and were Just finishing lunch. |
heard a sound something like the
smashing OF big dishes. and then there
came a second and louder crash.
Miss Macdonald and ! started 10 30
upstairs. but we were thrown back by
the crowd. We finally got 20 the deck.
There was no panic. and the ships
officers and crew went about their
work quietly and steadily. went TO
get two life belts, but a gentleman
standing by told us 20 remain where
we were and he would fetch them for
Us He brought us two life belts and
we put them on. We murmured a
few words OF prayer and jumped into
the water.
II could not see anybody near me.
md then I must have lost conscious.
ress. for remember nothing more
'ntil one OF the Lusitania's lifeboats
came along"

SANK LUSiTANiA BECAUSE
. SHE WAS ARMED, SAYS
GERMANY.

BERLIN, (vla wireless 20
. London).-The following official
communication was issued:
The Cunard liner was tovpe-
doed by a German submarine
: and sank.
The Lusitanla was naturally
armed with guns, as were re-
Gently most Of the English mer-
camille steamers. Moreover, as
is we'll known here, she had
large quantities Of war material
in her cargo.
Her owners, therefore. knew
TO what danger the passengers
we're exposed. They alone bear
all the responsibility for what
has happened.
Germany, on her part, left
nothing undone 20 repeatedly
and strongly warn them. The
Imperial Ambassador In Wash
inqton even went SO far as to
make a public warning. so az TO
draw attention 20 this sdaneer.
The English press sneered at
the warning and relied on the
protection Of the British fleet TO
safeguard Atlantic traffic.

When a man is debilitatcd from the
effects OF the previous nights debauch
he is frequently counseled to take a
hair OF the dog that bit him., the
meaning being that he should take a
little OF the same kind OF liquor that
had upset him The saying is a rem.
nant OF an old superstitious Belief that
the burnt hair of a, dog was an anti
dote against the III effects of intoxica'
ton. ~

The Thirteenth session OF the Idaho

or Alexander has vetoed % and signed
II, the balance still awaiting his ction.
All road and bridge bills, and every
measure creating unnecessary or avoid
able expense at this time, have met
with his disapproval. Only one at
tempt was made to pass measure over
his veto, the result of the vote indica-
ting that it would be a waste of time.
Yesterday the governor vetoed seven
bills and approved four. The fish and
game commission bill was among those
vetoed. Undoubtedly many other acts
now in the hands of the governor will
meet with executive disapproyal. Aside
the drastic anti personal liberty bills
perhaps the most important act so fai
signed by the chief executive is The
worknen's compensation act, fatherec
by Senator Bowman, the only socialist il

of $25, 900 Estate

Just as notices for the final settlement
Of the twenty-five thousand dollar estate
Of the late Henry T. Shaw were being
posted, heirs appeared in probate court
With copies OF a will and codicil which
will precipitate one of the biggest legal
battles staged here for years.
In the probate papers filed, Mrs.
Marietta Shaw-Pederson lays claim to
all the estate on the ground that it was
earned as community property. The
will and codici just introduced into
court would nave the effect of cutting
the widow off without anything because
she married again.

National Bank at Payette to discontinue
paying Mrs. Peterson the allowance Of
Que hundred dollars a month she has
been getting. pending decision of the
court.

Boise River Suit
To Come Up Later

District Judge Bryan Tuesday an
nounced that the big suit which in
wolves the entire question Of priority OF
water rights on the Boise river will not
be tried until the April term OF
court. This suit, which is entitled
Farmers Cooperative Ditch Com
pany VS.. Pioneer Irrigation district, :"
was set for trial March 10
The case was previously heard IN dis
trict court at Caldwell, and was then
carried to the supreme court. The
higher tribunal confirmed the finding OF
the lower court as to the duty of water
but remanded the suit for retrial as to
the priority of rights. Because of the
interests at stake and the large number
of attorneys connected with the suit
this was considered the most important
action to come before the court thii
term. It is expected that the trial viii
now be reached about the middle o
April.

Farmers Hold Wheat?

This con game is great dope. Grain
buyers and spectators have been
charging the high price Of wheat to the
fact that the farmers are holding for a
raise, and the public has been taking
the statement seriously. Now comes
the department Of agriculture, showing
the figures. On March l, there was on
hand on the farms Of the whole United
States ,19l 900 bushels OF wheat more
than there was year ago; in Idaho
there was 239, 900 bushels less. Now
who's it? Also, the average price tc
the producer in the United States lasl
year was s3 lc per bushel; in Idaho
&c. This year the prices are s1.34 anc
81 %, respectively.
