Twenty three ladies responded by
their presence to an invitation at Z
Kensington given by Mesdamcs A
A. Hunter and R. w. Walters al
the formers commodious home in
Northwest Nezperce last Friday
afternoon. The house was prettily
decorated with autumn leaves,
witches and cats, and pumpkins
served as fruit dishes and vases for
buffet and tables. Yellow and white
was the color scheme which was
carried out both in decorations and
the lovely luncheon served by these
prudent hostesses. The ladies spent
the afternoon at sewing and short
musical program was also very en-
tertaining feature. The very inter-
esting sewing contest which was so
cleverly planned was won by Mrs.
Gail Stevens, first prize, and Mrs.
Wiley Johnson, second. Those par
ticipating were Mesdames- Adams,
Talbot, Ramey, A. w. Mitchell,

The "Life Cleaners" of the Meth
odist Episcopal church of this city
entertained about forty young people
on last Thursday evening at the
church annex. The house was tastily
decorated in all the things that
make such occasions represent the
"Witching Eve of All Hallow."
Games of every description had been
arranged for the occasion. One of
the most interesting games of the
evening was the "Ghostly Pilgrim
age" when one of the hostesses
passed little slips of paper to her
guests which directed them to some
place. Some of these
places were on the outskirts of town |
and one even led to a place above
he fire escape on the school building.
There were ghosts in various forms
patiently awaiting their arrival in
he spooky corners of the pilgrimage.
Every game was new and interesting
and each guest was kept so busy no
,ne realized how fast the hours we're
lying. Refreshments were served
cafeteria style and soon after the
guests departed vowing they had
lever spent such a pleasant evening,

JOHNSON ROAD

1t now looks very much like the
Johnson railroad, under construction
from Lewiston to Waha, will be the
northern terminus Ct the north anc
south line which Governor Alexan-
der has been working FOR during the
past year. II. P. Leavitt, who rep.
resents a syndicate of eastern cap
italists and who spent considerable
part of the summer and fall investi.
eating Mr.. Johnson's railroad pro-
jects to the end that his corporation
has become interested in the same,
was in Boise last week in conference
with the Governor on the north and
south proposition. In this connec-
tion the following Boise dispatch,
under date of Oct. 81, furnishes in
teresting reading:
That an eastern syndicate of rail-
road investors is investigating the
feasibility of constructing the "miss-
ing link" in the north and south
railroad from New Meadows to Lew
iston, was the interesting develop
ment during the waek, and became
known yesterday with the departure
of Henry P. Leavitt, their represent
ative from Boise for the east. Be-
fore he left Mr. Leavitt held long
conference with Governor Alexander.
He stated his surprise at the re-
sources that could be developed for
tonnage tributary to the proposed
road. He is returning east to make
his report.
Mr.. Leavitt viewed the route of
the proposed road with view of
furnishing power for transportation
purposes through the medium of a
gasoline motor which can operate on
a grade as high as per cent. He
believes the missing link can be
built from New Meadows to the
present southern terminal of the
Lewiston & Nezperce railroad, in
which his people have become inter-
ested, for not to exceed 81 900, 900
and it his opinion that the Lewiston
& Nezpercc offers the best route into
Idaho's seaport city-Lewiston. In
fact he believes it would be an ideal
connection,
Prior to leaving for the east Mr..
Leavitt promised Governor Alexan-
der to make further Investigation
and inquiry and to submit proposal
the capitalists he represents
will undertake to back the construct
ion of the railroad. He also prom

ALLIES CRITICISED BY
PRESS OF PETR0GRAO
Should Have Relieved Pressure
by |nstigating Some Move
ment in the West.

London, Aug. 1-Austro-Ge
cavalry has entered Lublin. Oficial an
nouncement to this effect from Wen
ma suppementing German assertions
that the Russian grip along the south
ern front had been broken, indicates
that the important Lublin-Chelm rail-
way now is strongly held by the in
vaders, cutting off one line Of retreat
for the Russian forces in Southern
Poland.
Meantime General Won Buelow
continues his drive toward Wilma,
seeking to cut the Northern railway
from Warsaw to Petrograd, and the
predicament of the Russian armies
seeking to Withdraw intact from War
saw, unless the main forces already
are out of the district, becomes more
perilous.
Warsaw's 100000 inhabitants, laden
with such household articles and sup
plies of food as they can carry, are
fleeing the city toward the east and
every dispatch from Russia makes
guarded references. though quite col
orlessly, to some phase of the evacua-
ton of the city.
Official announcement of its aban-
donment, which even now may be
fact, has not been forthcoming, how
ever, although the slender hope of the
entente allied countries that the Ger
mans might be held on the Threshold
is dissipated and military writer's are
combining themselves to debating
Grand Duke Nicholas chances of en-
Treating his armies from the hard
pinched triangle without disaster.
Germans Cross the Vistula.
Besides the capture of Lublin and
the seizure of the railway the German
forces have crossed the Vistula river
between Warsaw and Ivangorod and
the problem for the Russians to hold
their wings north and south of War
saw while the center retires becomes
more acute.
1t was argued that the conduct OF
this retreat without great loss would
entail the necessity of the Lublin-
Chelm front holding firm. Now that
it is broken quick action on the part
of the Russians becomes imperative,
as also does the stemmings of the in
creasing German forces driving from
Kovno and Suwalki toward Wilma, the
capture of which would cause the
northern line to retreat.
With these developments Great
Britain is greatly concerned. Some
sections of the newspapers are seiz-
ing the opportunity to emphasize Rus
sia's task and press for CONSUMPTION
here as the best proof to give Russia
that the Western allies purpose to
stand by her in exerting all the pres
sure possible in the west.
The Russian press, according to
special dispatches reaching London.
feel that the Western allies should
have initiated some movement In
France or Belgium to relieve the
strain on Russia, as Russia did by her
invasion of East Prussia.
