unanswered. The Vienna foreign Office

national law and the dictates OF hu-
manity, intimated today that stricter
methods would be put into force un-
ing from Servia and Russia that the
prison camps in these two countries
were rendered more habitable.
1t was stated at the embassy here
that conditions in French detention
camps were also bad, especially in the
south, where American inspection had
not been permitted. A special case, the

MAKES TIMBER
MORE VALUABLE
DAM AND BOOM
BILL MAKES LOGGING AT MIN
mum COST POSSIBLE
Timber CorrespOndingly More Valua-
BILE State and Government Great
est Beneficiaries

BY the passage of H. B. 221, permit
ting the construction of dams and
booms in the Clearwater River and
it's tributaries, it becomes possible to
provide logging methods in the Clear
water country that will give an out
let for more than two hundred thous-
and acres of state timber, and an
even greater amount Of government
timber. Owners of small tracts of
timber land will also be able to mar
ket their logs to greater advantage
than by rail, and owing to the lower
cost Of logging made possible by the
use of dams and booms, a greater
price can be obtained for the timber
than would be possible otherwise.
While the Clearwater River is said
by the United States government to be
navigable, there has never been a YES
sci to make the trip because the
stream is too treacherous. Beside
that there is a bridge within II miles
of Lewiston, which would prevent the
passage of vessel of any considerable
size
1t is said that by the passage of this
BILL timber touched by fire, which
will be destroyed by a dis
ease known as blue rot, may be cut
and saved. When the timber is
placed in the water, it is said, it will
keep for years.
Rafting of post timber, now carried
On to some extent, will be interferred
with, but it was asserted that, since
It would not be stopped entirely, the
of the bill were greater

THE NORTH HAS
LESS PEOPLE
SOUTHERN CONGRESSIONAL DIS.
TRICT HAS TEN PER CENT
MORE VOTERS
Adams, Canyon, Washington, and
Lemhi Counties Would be Included
With the North

According to tables prepared by
Secretary of State Geo. L. Barker, who
bases his calculations on the estima-
ted populations of the counties in 1914,
the northern congressional district
provided for in S. B. 205 would have
a population nearly $4,000 less than
that of the southern district.
Adams, Canyon, and Washington
counties are the three southwestern
counties included in the northern dis
trict. Lemhi is also included.
The census of 1910 showed the state
has population of 325,594 and there
were cast at the November election of
that year 86,159 votes for governor
which would be approximately 3.S per
cent of the population. Applying this
ratio to the vote cast in 1914, the esti-
mated population of the state IS
400, 9,O55.
Under the proposed measure, the
northern district would have an esti
mated population of l82,S41, COM
pared to an estimated population of
226,208 for the southern district. This
would make an estimated difference OF
43,361 in the population of the two
districts. There was difference OF
3O,454 in the population in 1910.
Ada county is included in the pro-
posed southern district. It's estimated
population is placed at 970S4. If it
was to be placed in the northern dis
trict the discrepancy would be re-
duced to 6277, which could be elm
mated altogether by also including
either Owyhee or Boise counties in
the northern district.

LONDON, March 3.-One British

are attempting to dismantle the
Turkish forts near the Gulf shore
north of the Dardanelles and land
marines for operations on shore.
Athens dispatches declared that these
vessels had shelled the Moslem posi-

that the enemy's gunners had replied
so effectively that any attempt to send
landing parties ashore had failed. The
warships resumed the attempt later.
The fleet operating against the forts
on the European side of the Dard-
anelles encountered fierce resistance
from Fort Kilid Bahar. 1t is report
ed that German gunners have charge
of this position.
