Berlin. Sept 22-Official reports
from Austrian and German headquar-
ters and dispatches from the Balkan
capitals show that the long expected
Teutonic campaign against Servia has
now begun.
Austrian and German artillery is
bombarding Seryian positions south
of the river frontier at various points
along the hundred-mile front between
the mouths of the Drina and Morava
rivers.
This action undoubtedly is intend
ed as cover to the throwing of a
force across the river and the seizure
of a bridgehead whence the new
steam roller" can be started just
where crossing will be attempted is
not known.
The shortest route TO Bulgaria would
lead through the northeastern corner
of Servia, where barely thirty miles
of Servian territory intervenes be
tween the Bulgarian and Hungarian
borders.
The difficult mountainous country
the absence of railroads and the prox
unity of the Roumanian frontier, how
ever, speak in favor of the old route
of the crusaders further to the ives
through the broad and fertile Morav'
valley.
Through this valley run roads ant
railway line to Bulgaria and Turkey
This railway reaches the Danube a
two points-Belgrade and Semendrii
both of which are under lombard
ment.

NO TROUT FISHING IN APRIL.
Assistant Game Warden Keane for
North Idaho Calls Attention to Law.

April is the closed season for trout
as provided by the fish and game law,
according to Assistant Chief Game and
Fish Warden James j. Keane who is in
charge of the northern district of
Idaho. Mr.. Keane states that the de-
partment has authorized the announce
ment that the law will be enforced to
the letter and is passing along the hint
that sportsmen would be wise to see
that they are familiar with the provi-
sions of the statututes which so de-
clare.
Nimrods who are busily engaged pre-
pairing to fish should keep in mind the
fact. For their benefit the department
reproduces that section of the law max
ing April a closed season. 1t is as fol
lows:
"It shall be unlawful to catch any
kind of fish with the hook and line
attached to the pole or held in the
hand at any time of the year; pro
vided however, that it shall be unlaw
full to catch trout in any manner be
tween the first day of April and the
first day of May each year in any OF
the waters of this state, except lakes
and navigable streams.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMPLAINTS
Camas Prairie Road and Grangevine
Light Hearings.

Boise Statesman: An order was
issued Saturday by the public utilities
commission directing the attorney gen
eral to file complaint against the
Camas Prairie Railroad company, set
ting forth that the company should be
compelled to construct a siding at the
mill of the Cottonwood Milling com
pany in Idaho county. The complaint
was filed and the commission expects
to hold hearing at which representa-
tives of the milling company and the
railroads will air their grievances.
The utilities commission took SINH
lar action regarding a complaint filed
by the Cottonwood company against
the Grangeville Electric Light and
Power company. The attorney general
was instructed to draw a complaint
against the power company, charging
that the rates it has made to the mill
ing company are unfair and discrimina-
tory. The complaint will probably be
ready Monday and a date set by the
commission for hearing.

JACK JOHNSON vANQUIsHED.
Willard Wins Fight in the 26th Round
When Black Pug Takes the Count.

Jess Willard is champion of the
world as the outcome of the pugilistic
encounter pulled off with Jack John
son, the black champion, and fugitive
from justice. For 20 rounds johnson
punched and pounded Willard at will,
but his blows grew perceptiyely less
powerful at the close. The white
champion bore up under the pummeling
and seemed never to be aft f.eted. His
ability to stand punishment was re.
markable and it was only in the latter
part of the fight that be began to land
telling blows on johnson which caused
the black the yield.
Though johnson was knocked down
and made no effort to arise when the
referee started to count, he was not
unconscious and quickly arose when
the referee had stopped and proclaimed
Willard the winner of the fight. AS q
result there is some doubt that he was
knocked out and took the count when
he saw the hopelessness of landing his
opponent who seemed to show little eff
feet from the blows which were rained
upon him. johnson though loosel
landed the big end of the money anG
will return to France with $4,000 tc

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
MAKES DECISION AT MEETING
AT BOISE LAS. WEEK.
STATE ROAD NOW Vain HOPE
Adams County Notified Commission of
Inability TO Raise Its Share Of the
Cost of Construction.

Construction of the north and south
highway between Weiser and Grange
vile was abandoned by the State High
way Commission through a decision
reached last week at a meeting of that
body at Boise, due to the fact that
Adams county is not prepared, nor can
it afford at this time, to vote a bond
issue to raise two-thirds of the cost Of
construction or its proportionate share
for building the highway in that county
The highway commission, in session at
the secretary Of states office went in
to the matter of building this highway.
as outlined by the old commission, but
found itself thwarted from going ahead
with the plans with the information
given the commission by Commissioner
Van Sicklin that Adams county noti-
fled him it could not raise its share Of
the cost of construction. AS Idaho
county does not feel able to bear the
additional expense, the commission
could do nothing else but abandon the
plan, it is understood.
1t was the hope of the good roads en-
thusiasts that the north and south
highway could be constructed due to
the immense amount of benefit that it
would be the state as a whole connect
ing as it would northern and southern
Idaho with the first modern highway
over which travel could proceed with
comparative ease. The fact that the
country is somewhat mountainous made
the estimated cost of construction high,
but the road would have been worthy
of the expense, and this due to the
fact it would open a very beautiful
scenic section of the state.
Under the plans as proposed each Of
the counties through which the high
way was to pass, or Washington,
Adams and Idaho, were to raise two
thirds of the cost as apportioned to
their respective territories and the
state was to apportion the other third.

tribution among sportsmen. The dis
tribution started week ago last Mon
lHay. There has been a heavy demand
for licenses in all parts of Idaho and

est to all sportsmen is as follows:

EVIDENCE OF EXTENSIVE WORK
IN EVERY SECTION OF
THE COUNTY
INTERESTS OUTSIDE CAPITAL
Prospects for Season in Florence, Buff
falo Hump, Ten Mile, and Clearwater
District Never Were Better.

The prospects for mining oprations
back in the mountains during the com
ing season are looking up every day
and the news so far indicate that there
will be increased activity this year
which will show up the worth of Idaho
County and its extensive mineral de-
posts as one of the best mining Sec
tions in the northwest.
Prospects Out at Florence.
The work will exentd to every dis
trict in the county. The Golden Gate
Placer Mines company expect to spend
a large sum of money on their prop
erty at Florence during the summer ac-
cording to word received direct from
Pendleton, Oregon where most of the
members of that company reside.
There is also indication that the Spo-
kane Hydraulic and Placer Mining
Company will do extensive work dur
ing the summer and hope to have some
good returns to show for expenditures.
Another company was organized by
outside capitalists according to recent
reports for the purpose of working a
large acreage of placer ground in the
Florence district. Besides this there is
indication of good activity in the
quartz mining line in that district.
In the Ten Mile.
Gus Gleichauf, one OF the hustling
prospectors of the Ten Mile district
was in town last week from the South
Fork where he made some quartz loca-
tions on the south end of Black Tail
Ridge, having found a large body OF
highly mineralized quartz and is now
digging for the pay-ore. He has great
faith in Black Tail Ridge, largely on
the strength of prediction made a few
years ago by T. j. Bernard, mining
geologist of reputation who then visit
ed the len Mile and Clearwater coun
try.
From appearance of the mountain
formation and general geologic condi
ton, Mr.. Bernard was confident of q
