the little daughter OF Gene Stroh and
Geo. Stroh's youngest son.

Monday caller on the farmers in this
neighborhood.

are now in Los Angeles and expect to
visit the California expositions before
returning to Billings, Mont.
Miss Bess Vogt, well known in the
western part of Barnes county, writes
from her claim near Dodson, Mont,
that her shack was entered during her
absence and ransaked by someone on
mischief bent, and number of valu-
able articles taken. We would sug-
gest that Miss Vogt carry her resi-
dence with her. 1t is much the safest
way.
Judge Moe and DR.. Wicks, of Valley
City, were at Island Lake recently
looking over the hunting ground and
getting their lodge IN order for the
coming season. If all hunters were as
considerate as these gentlemen, even
the property owners at the Island
Lake vicinity would look forward to
the hunting season with pleasure.

Mr.. Isensee and Mr.. Larson, officials of
the bank testified that Mr.. Jones, in
December, admitted that he had sign
ed the notes in question. Jones and
Mr.. Bailey, who was with him in the
bank, denied this. Cashier Scott, now
of Clementsville, also testified that
Jones was present with Nichols in the
bank on Dec 10, 1913, in the afternoon.
This was refuted by several witnesses
for the defense.
Prof. Curtiss thought the notes were
genuine, but was not permitted to
testify as to the handwriting of Mich.
OILS. The expert called attention to
what he said was the characteristic
similarity of the handwriting in the
notes sued upon and the genuine sig
nature. Curtiss has been an expert
for many years and is now 70 years
of age
The defendant, drought his at
torney, called attention to the sig
nature in the name of William, claim

ed out that this was not the case
where the signature was genuine.
During the trial of the case there
was much legal argument between at

Among those who testified for the
defendant were George Bouer, Al
bert Johnson and Steve Hamilton
G.. w. Thompson of jamestown, who
had been a teacher of penmanshiI
and familiar with Mr.. Jones' hanC
writing and signature, testified in be

The arguments for the counsel in

were likely to follow the result o.

The signs of business revival are
increasingly manifest in the reports
from our business centers, and there
are many indications that brighter
times are at hand. This is good news
to everyone except prehaps the polit-
ical croakers who will see nothing but
ruin under Democratic rule. Some
how the mistakes of the Democrats
appear to be not altogether without
remedy, and the country is beginning
to wonder If after all there may not
be reason in their madness. Presi-

little more than half completed. If,
in spite of all predictions, it should
happen to prove successful there are
plenty of people who like our presi-

POindeXter and His Enemies,
(D1yppOnrt Trih,,pnl

Miles PoindeXter has announced
his candidacy to succeed himself as
United States senator next year, and
will make the race on the Republican
ticket. Poindexter has said some
pretty hard things about the Repub-
llcan party, and many Republicans
have said harder things about Poin-
dexter, so we will wait and see what
we shall see. OF course there will be
other Republican candidates, for
there are Republicans who will under
no consideration support Poindexter,
but should he show up pretty strong
he will not lack support among ad-
herents of the G. o. P, regardless of
their previous opinion of him. And
Poindexter knows this and will use it
to his own advantage wherever pos
sible. and he may be strong enough
to force his enemies to support him.

entire West. This mill is in addition

Probes Changes in Cost Of Iavins.

The effect Of the European war
and other economic changes Of the
past year on the prices that the
Washington housewife is compellea
to pay for foodstuffs will be deter
mined in practical manner as the
result Of investigations instituted BY
Labor Commissioner E. w. Olson.
Mr.. Olson a year ago obtained prices
on list of foodstuffs considered suf-
ficient for an average family Of five
persons in moderate circumstances.
The total cost of this list of supplies
ranged from $405.93 to $431.57 for
different geographical divisions of the
state. Mr.. Olson this year has take1
the same list Of supplies and is again
obtaining price quotations on all ar
ticles in the list in all parts of the
state.

1.-THE PrOdigal's Return
(Asotin Co. Sentinel.)

There is but one case on record
where the "old man" prepared the
fatted calf for the prodigal's return,
but it has remained for this late day
to produce a man who has the nerve
to repair to the pen and select and
prepare the choicest calf in the bunch
for his own feast, unannounced and
without waiting for the customary
and preliminary welcome. Perhaps
and we'll established an order of
things, but we think the intelligence
of the Republican party of the state
of Washington is sufficiently aroused
to prevent such a travesty.

JOHNSON UPHOLDS
ALIEN LAND ACT

Sacramento. - Governor Johnson
placed himself squarely on record as
opposed to any amendment to the an
ti-alien land act, passed by the Cali
fornia legislature in 1913. He indi-
Gated that if the Shartel bill, intro
duced in the assembly, eliminating the
three-year leasing clause, passed the
legislature, it would meet with the
executive veto.
The elimination of the three-year
leasing clause is sought by labor or
CARNATIONS generally throughout the
state. If adopted it would have the
effect of prohibiting Japanese and
other alien farmers who are ineligible
to citizenship from leasing land which
they are prohibited from purchasing.
Governor Johnson stated that no
valid reason exists why the alien land
bill, passed with so much difficulty
two years ago. should now again be
presented to the legislature for amend
ment, and there are many reasons
why it should not. ut is my hope,
and to this end so far as consistently
| can, | shall lend my aid, that the
existing law be not disturbed"

BOMBS DROPPED
BY RIVAL AIRMEN

London. - While German airmen
we're dropping bombs on Dukirk, one
of which damaged the American con-
sulate, two British aviators paid a
visit to Client and zeebrugge and sue
ceeded, at Zeebr1gge, in damaging a
submarine and killing or wounding the
crews of the guns mounted on the
mole to prevent attack from the sea
on that new German base.
The British official report says that
apart from the breaking of the win
dows and the smashing of the furni-
ture of the American consulate, mo
particular damage was done" at Dun
kirk. 1t makes no reference whatever
to Paris report that six persons were
killed and others wounded, and it is
therefore not known whether this re-
port covers completely the attack of
the German airmen, who, according
to unofficial dispatches, dropped as
many as 80 bombs on the French port.

Two Other Cruisers Are Badly
Damaged and Attack on
Coast Frustrated.

London.-An attempt by a Germa.
cruiser squadron to repeat the attack
recently made on Scarborough, the

towns was frustrated by the British
patrolling squadron.
In a running fight the German ar

count of the engagement:
Early this morning a British pa

sighted four German battle cruisers
and several light cruisers and several
destroyers steering westward and ap-

MT. LASSEN ERUPTS AGAIN
Tremors Felt IS Miles Away and
Ashes Carried ID Miles.

Redding, Cal. - A magnificently
spectacular demonstration was given
by Lassen Peak, which broke forth in
what is perhaps the most violent erup-
ton of the series that began last May
Subterranean rumblings and ire
mors of the earth were heard and felt
at Volta, % miles from the peak. Fall
ing ashes covered the snow fields at
Macomber Flat, Ia miles away. The
plumed column of steam from the
crater was visible at great distances.
The eruption shows no signs OF
abatement. Rumblings were heard
for an hour preceding the outbreak.
Tie eruption appears to come from a
new crater on the eastern slope. The
main crater and the one at North
Peak are quiet. The clouds of black
smoke rise to height of several thou
sand feet.
