A QUESTION OF PERSONAL
LIBERTY
Standpoint News.)

NOdHupOlnt News
In the desire to put as many teeth
as possible into it, those who framed
the prohibition law that is in effect
in the dry counties now and which
goes into effect in the whole state
January /, included a clause making
it unlawful even to have liquor in
ones possession or to keep it in ones
home fir ones own use, excepting of
course with prescription and permit.
This is one of the points which will
be decided in the test case taken be-
fore the supreme court from Latah
county, the case being that of Ed An
derson, arrested for having bottle
of whisky in his possession.
Assistant Attorney General Coffin
holds that this possession" clause is
subversive of the constitutional rights
of the individual, and in his brief filed
in the supreme court he says that
there have been but few attempts to
prohibit the mere possession of liquor
for lawful purpose and none of them
have been upheld by the courts.
Should our courts prove the ex-
ception and uphold it, we shall await
the enforcement of it with some in
terest. 1t may be that those who be-
lieve that the application of the clause
will lead to a reaction are right.

The stamp tax law will expire with
the year 1915, but let no person think
we will be rid of the nuisance. Con-
gress will be in session before the
present law expires, and the same law,
or another calculated to produce even
larger revenue, will be passed. If
stamp tax were really necessary the
people would not object to it. But
such a tax would not be necessary if
congress would give us a sane tariff
law. The unjustness of the revenue
laws lies in the fact that the people
are now paying a stamp tax that
should be paid by the importers. Had
the reduction of taxes on imports
made corresponding reduction in the
cost of the goods imported, no COM
plant could be made. But no such re-
duction was made and the people are
simply paying tax of which the i'm
porters were relieved-Pend d'Oreille

hatred existing between these two
brilliant pencil showers the Republic

The Tribune feels no hatred toward

that it was to the interests of the Re-

He was removed and that is an end of

TIMBER WILL BE HOISTED
OVER ARROWROCK DAM

Boise, Idaho, Sept 8.-Above Ar
rowrock dam in the basin of the Boise
river it is estimated that there is g.
OOO,O0O,O0O feet of merchantable tim
Der. Sawed into lumber worth, say
$l2 per thousand, this would represent
a value of $36,O0O,OO0. 1t is owned by
the United States government, the
Boise Payette Lumber company and a
number of others with smaller hold
ings.
This timber is to be cut in the i'm
mediate future, driven down the Boise
river and converted into lumber at
the mills ID miles below Arrowrock
dam and just outside the city of Boise.
Here at the big dam, then, is pres
ented knotty little problem,-to lift
these logs from the reservoir, carry
them over the crest 200 feet above the
bed of the river, and deliver them in
good condition in the stream below.
Nothing would be permitted of
course, to interfere with the main OBJ
ject of the dam,-the impounding of
the 244,00O acre~feet of water de-
manded for the irrigation of 100000
acres of rich soil IN the Boise Val
ley. But as the dam backs the water
for a distance of 18 miles, converting
the river channel into reservoir, and
I inciidiAg Dotn branches of the stream,
it provides ideal means for the driv-
ing of logs. 1t was early agreed that
some scheme must devised for lifting
, them over the dam.
Under the direct supervision of En-
gineer Charles H. Paul his assistant,
Walter R. Young, designed an equip
ment based on principles used where
scientific logging is done. This has a
maximum capacity of 100000 feet
when the water in the reservoir is
within As feet or less of the top of the
dam. At this rate it is estimated that
it will take so years to lift over the
entire 3,000,000,000 feet.
By this equipment located at the
extreme southern end of the dam logs
of any size or length will be taken out
of the reservoir by means of a cable
lift and deposited on the concrete
deck on the top of the dam. From this
deck they will be fed by a stop and
loader to power-driven spiked rolls
one at a time, the speed under the
control of the operator. These rolls
will carry the logs across the dam
and turn them over to a bull-chair
with spurs or teeth to prevent sliding

Escaped Convicts
 Already At Work

BALDWIN, Kan, Nov 14.-Five masked men dynamited the local postofficc last night. making their escape with s2,000 In money, in ad- dition to large quantity of stamps. Government secret service men from Kansas City and Fort Leavenworth have already arrived here and are picking up evidence in connection with the incident
 The men who did the job are be lieved to be the five convicts who recently made their escape from the Fort Leavenworth penitentiary. It is believed that they will eventually be caught by the officers now on their trail, although they had plenty of time to get a good start before the government men arrived here.

Ortie M'Manigal
 Will Testify Soon

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.-Ortie McManigal, the man who confessed to complicity in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building sev- eral years ago. for which crime the McNamara brothers are now serv- ing sentences, is to be placed on the witness stand this week to testify in the trial against Paul Schmidt. another one of the alleged dynamit- CTS.
 It is expected that ten days, at least. will be required for the talk ing of McManigal's testimony, as it was chiefly on evidence furnished by him that the McNamara bro thers were convicted. The attorney for the defense has already announc- ed that he will enter serious ob- lection to the adne etsion of a large part of the evide offered at the other trial.

FOOD PRICES
 ARE SOARING

PARIS, Nov 14.-Acting under the instructions of the minister of mu nitions, government agents have been busy today putting up notices con taining lists of food prices. The butchers of the city are objecting strongly, on the ground that the prices set by the government are running thelr business. A large number of the butcher shops of this city have been closed as 8 conse quence.
 PRICES SOARING.
 PARIS, Nov, 1.-The government nas issued instructions to the butch CTS of this city and other places in France, in which 1t is stated that the meat cutters must provide 50 different varieties of beef. The action is being taken in order that all classes of people may be provid- ed with the kind of meat they are able to pay for. and to conserve the beef supply of the nation
 The prices of beef, as specified by the government, are low or high, according to the variety. The high est grade of butter Is priced at 56 cents per pound. while potatoes bring six cents per pound to rich and poor alike.
 RIOTS IN GERMANY.
 LONDON, Nov. 14,-Food riots are the order of the day at Dusseldorf. in western Germany, according to dispatches received here. It Is claimed that women are the chief participants in the riots. which are caused by the shortage of some kinds of provisions and the high prices of others. The report re- ceived here states that the mobs of women are only dispersed under the most strenuous efforts of the police, who were compelled to charge into the mobs again and again.

Timber Permits
 Are Taken Out

The Panama Mill Co.,, of which F G. Moves is the owner, filed an ap plication in the local land office asking for permission to cut 5000 cords of wood and 100000 feet of lumber on Clear creek, which flows into the Panama river three miles below Cinema. Soon after the application was filed the permit was issued by Special Agent of the General Land Office Charles w. Ritchie.
 The permit includes the right to cut lumber, piling and railroad timbers It is the largest ever is- sued in interior Alaska, according to Mir Ritchie.
 The Independent Lumber Co. also took out a permit during the past week. It gives that concern the right to cut 500,00O feet of lumber along the Salchaket river.
