PREDICTS LONG WAR.
Allies Will Win, But It Will Take
Them Two Years to Do It'll

Them Two Years to Do It'll
Mr.. e. Alexander Powell, staff cor
respondent of the New York World,
who is now at the front with the Brit
ish army in France, predicts, after in
yestigating the situation very thor
oughly, that the present war is likely
to last a good deal longer than many
persons who have not visited the firing
line imagine.
He believes that the allies eventu-
ally will win, but the officers and men
at the front, while confident OF the
final result, think that the struggle
will last two years, and possibly it may
not be terminated by that time, but
extend twice as long as that
The British soldiers, Mr.. Powell
says, fully realize that the German
fighting machine is the most effective
and efficient ever organized, and when
il is remembered that it has taken
nearly half century of continuou:
hard work to bring it up to its present
high standard, this is not surprising.
This correspondent says that wha'
the British have accomplished in Or
ganizing and equipping their army IN
nine months sis one of the marvels Of
military history"
At that, the English machine natur'
ally does not run quite as smoothly
as the German one, but Mr.. Powell
says at struck me as having ALL or
nearly all, of the merits Of the Ger
man organization, with a human ele-
ment added"
Differing from the people in London
the soldiers at the front recognize thai
there will be a most terrific slaughter
before the Germans are forced out o.
France and Belgium and driven pacR
to the Rhine, and that II Is not iikei'
this will be accomplished within the
next year.

VALUE OF EDUCATION.
Commissioner Gives ci sn We an.
Says It Is Worth the Price.


DR.. O. f. Sisson, commissioner of
education for Idaho, in an address be
fore the Boise high school the other
day, said whether you go to college
or not should depend upon how much
faith you have in the stuff that Is IN
you, both body and mind, Schooling Is
an investment. The elementary edu-
cation costs little, not more than $500
for the whole course, on the average
when we come to the high school and
college education the investment Is
heavier because we must count some
thing for the students time, alloW'ne
the wages which he might earn II he
did not go to school, Reckoned tins
way the high school education may be
considered an investment of anou'
$500 and the college education OF Ger
tainly not less than $4,000, Thus the
economic cost of the four-year MGR
school course Is about four times as
great as that of the eight-yeaf ele-
mentary course, and the economic cos'
of the four-year college course Is twice
as much as the whole cost of the L
wears course of elementary and higI
school
"Rut If YOU have the stuff In yor
the return from higher education VIII
make the cost of 1t look small. There
is no other investment in the Wortr
which produces such magnificent re,
turns as that of a good education pc
slowed upon the young man or woman
~ ability and character"

MINING ALONG RIVER
COLO, COPPER, LEAD
SEVERAL PROPERTIES IN VIcIN,
lTY OF LANE AND MEDlMoNT
BEING DEVELOPED

A. d. Burrows came up from the
vicinity of Medimont last Monday,
looking after mining interests. II is
probable that he WIFI return TO that
section in a few days for a short time,
after which he will go into the Clear
water where he has placer ground to
which he will give his attention during
the summer About four miles east
of Medimont Mr.. Burrows has four
claims which he calls the Jumbo group
and upon which several thousand dol
lars has been expended in develop
ment The claims cover a gold bear
ing ledge about twenty feet wide and
which promises to prove of great value
with depth. A crosseut tunnel has cut
the vein at a depth of about 100 feet
which shows about two feet of ore
that carries from 81 to IS in gold. The
vein also shows several feet of lower
grade ore No drifting to speak of has
been done. Mr.. Burrows regards the
showing sufficient to warrant extern
sive development and he hopes to be
able to enlist capital to take up the
work
Mr. Burrows reports considerable
mining activity along the river on both
sides and in places the results are
very encouraging.

! This property is located across the
lake about two miles from Medmoni
The principal owner is Carl Johnson
who for number of years has worked
alone on the property and has accom-
pished much in the way of develop
ment In driving crosscut he recent
ly cut a blind lead which shows low
values in copper The crosscut is TO
be extended about 100 feet to reach the
main vein, which shows up strong or.
the surface and which 1t is believed
will show copper ore of commercial
value when reached in the crosscut,
Reference was made to this property in
this paper several weeks ago. when II
was announced that Wardner people
were considering joining Mr.. Johnson
In the property 1t is now learned that
they have decided to take up the pro-
position and that compressor has
been ordered as the first step toward
beginning extensive development of
the property.
The strobeI Property.
Across the river from Lane is the
Strobel property, upon which develop
ment work is going steadily on. The
vein has been prospected on the sur
face by shaft and open cuts, and tun-
mel has been run from the north side
to cut it. The vein dips strongly to
the south and tunnel from the south
side of the hill would have reached it
lin much shorter distance, Recently a
raise was made from the crosscut 10

of good milling lead-slver ore has
been exposed. The property has II

CANNOT INSURE AGAINST AIR
 GRAF I RAIDS

LONDON, July 13.-The problem of insurance against damage by air craft raids has become a serious one for merchants in London and other com mercial towns near the East Coast. The insurance companies have been beset with applications for insurance against fires started by Zeppelins but the companies doing fire insurance business cannot take such risks. In- surfing against Zeppelins is a pure gamble since there is nothing in the way of experience or probabilities on which any sound system can be based Consequently the British government will be obliged to take charge of the matter, as it did of insuring merchant ships in the earlier days of the war
 Banks holding bills against goods in London warehouses are demanding policies for aircraft insurance or the refund of amounts advanced. Sir Albert Spicer brought up the question in the House of Commons in the first meeting under the new cabinet, and the Chamber of Commerce has asked the Board of Trade to take measures 1 also. It is probable that the govern ment will bring in scheme this month by which the situation will be remedied

NEW YORK, July 13-It is an nounced here that vigorous steps are to be taken by telegraph officials to assist public prosecutors to stamp out the fraudulent use of telegraph lines in securing money transfers.
 In the case of R. E. Miles, United States army man, who was arrested some time ago for such a fraud, the Western Union Telegraph Company has secured his conviction and sen tence of four years In prison.

 wire him some money for expenses. To this message he signed the name Herbert" intending that the addressee should think that the message was sent by one Herbert H. Foy, who had
 been a comrade of Miles in the Philip pines. Both Miles and Ferry were en- listed men. On December IF, Miles sent a similar message to Ferry ask ing specifically for s20O more, to Herbert H. Foy" at San Francisco, and Miles, with the aid of letters and communications which he had stolen from the real Foy, secured both sums.

BRITISH QUAKERS
 IN THE FIELD RES|GN

LONDON, July 13.-The Quakers notwithstanding their peaceful tradi- tion have contributed 215 men to the British army and navy and A to the army medical corps. In addition, 43 have joined the home guards and 15 are serving on recruiting committees.
 These figures are taken from the an nual meeting of the Society of Friends. The society's book of dsci- pline declares its members must main. tain an "unequlvocal testimony against war" This Is vital princi. pie of Quakerism. Accordingly about 50 of those enlisting sent in their resignations but only 30 of these were accepted.
 Besides the soldiers, the parents of the soldiers openly sympathize with the war. These may all be properly expelled, but the feeling among the members is against taking severe measures.
