To Be Sold
Under Hammer
l. & w. N. Railroad Will Be Disposed of
Under Federal Court Order.

The properties of the Idaho &
Washington Northern railroad,
part of which is in the northern
part of this state, will be sold at
some time in the near future under
a foreclo sure order secured from
the Unit ed States court by the
Illinois Trust & Savings bank of
Chicago. holder of two series of
the company's bonds. 1t is proba-
BILE that the road will be bought in
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad, with whose lines it
connects, says the Statesman.
The properties are valued at
about five million dollars. The
main line passes through the Spirit
Lake and Twin Lakes country in
Kootenai and Bonner counties in
Idaho md continues through
Stevens county, Wash, to point
near the northern border. The
Clagstone branch makes a connect
ing link with the Great Northern
at Clagst one.
The writ commanding the sale
was issued by the federal court
Saturday directed to L. L. Lewis,
special master. The road was
ordered sold some time ago to
satisfy th e claims of $3,755,738.oI
and 81, q 81, ,284 90 made by the
bond hol ders and validated by the
federal cputt. At the first sale
there were no bidders, it was said,
and second sale was made neces-
sary.
AS the order was secured by F.
M Dudley, general attorney for
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway, and as the lines to be sold
connect with that road, it is be-
lleved that the c. M. & St. P.
intends b purchase the property.

ceiving many letters of inquiry re
garding pure food laws and the new
prohibition law, some OF which will
raise rather technical points, says the
Boise Statesman. One letter reads:
II am making leo barrels Of vinegar

ural process of making pure apple
cider vinegar as you know, is the de-
veopment OF from 2 to 8 per cent
alcohol by fermentation. This apple

A grocer writes in and says he is
being urged to put In supply Of

all Of which carry excessive alcohol.
and wants to know II they will be In
violation of the liquor law.
Patent medicines are coming in for
their share, as Commissioner White
bad more than one hundred letters 10
his mail Wednesday morning asking
about their legality under the prohi-
bltion law. The names Of some Of
these patent medicines, said Com
missioner White, are rather suggest
i've of their nature, such as Zig Zag
Bracer Bitters, Our Ginger Brandy,
Smart Weed, Fina- Flavora, Rock
candy Cough Cure, etc. The United
States internal revenue department
has passed on something like 900 such
preparations sold under the guise OF
"tonics", stomach bitters, nerve
restorers, dyspepsia cures, ETC., and
classes them as "alcoholic medicinal
preparations which have been exam
ined by this office and held to be
insutiiciently medlcated to render
them unit for use as beverage.
Many of these preparations cannot be
sold except under internal revenue
license, the possession OF which, | am
advised, Is prima face evidence OF

Both the federal and state laws
! require the per cent OF alcohol to be
shown in all drug compounds or pre-
parations, but 1t is not necessary To
show the alcoholic content OF food
products.
The regulation OF the sale OF
extracts carrying alcohol is question
for those enforcing the prohibition
law. This department can act only
/ on the food and drug law. Some In
vestlgation into these matters, how
ever, has brought about conditions
where prosecution was instituted
under the food and drug act. Fol

Those of the sportsmen in this sec
ton who are concerned for lettering
conditions with regard to fish and
game, are mighty glad to see this
county closed for quail. A great many
of the fishermen would be glad TO have
law closing the fishing season from
December 18th to May first, instead of
just one month. The closing for one
or two years of all streams in this
section for trout would also please
many who desire better fishing. BY
closing for two years the small trout
which are now caught and taken from
the streams so small as to be worth
less, would attain a size of ten or
twelve inches and make royal sport
and still better food. The Times
would suggest that before another leg
islature convenes that steps be taken
to push some of the matters which
need attention. The splendid fishing
and shooting on the upper waters of
the Snake river is due largely to
the efforts made by sportsmen of Ere
mont, Bingham asd Bannock counties
in getting regulations through the
state legislature.

The shutting off of the water from
the low line canal from which this
city gets it's water supply for four
or five days will not Inconvenience
a single person if little judgment is
shown by the citizens. The storage
reservoir of the Twin Falls water
works company is capable of supply
ing the ordinary demands of the city
if care is taken. On the other hand
if the people insist on lawn sprinkling
and reckless use of the water it will
not last three days. The Times wishes
to urge the people for their own pro-
lection and convenience to carefully
refrain from wasting water until the
Canal company again turns the water
into the low line. The danger from
fire with normal pressure is not great,
but If after three days of reckless use
of water the companys storage reser-
voir become depleted of its water, a
small fire may become a serious con-
flagration which will sweep the city.
The lawns will not suffer If not water
ed for another week. The water used
in every home by reason of leaky taps
and taps purposely left running, can
be conserved fifty per cent and would
be IL paid for and measured by met
er. 1t IS up to all people to calmly
use good judgment and not insist up
on rights which may jeopardize the
whole city. The Times is not making
plea for the water company, which is
to blame for the inferior storage sys-
tenn, but for every property owner
whose property is endangered by de-
pleting the small storage supply.

With the steady increase in popula-
tion, the products of the sea assume
more and more importance. How to
conserve the immense supply while at
the same time making constantly in
creasing use of it is one of the prob
lens of the present which will press
still harder for solution in the future
In the case Of oysters it is well known
that II nothing had been done but to
trust to nature unaided, the supply
would have been utterly exhausted
long ago. Planting and protection
have increased the supply of oysters
and scallops, notwithstanding the in
creased use of both as food. The an
nual report of the Rhode Island com
mission on shell fisheries shows some
thing of what has been and is being
done in the way of conservation and
cultivation, says the Manchester
Union. The marine farms" of Rhode
Island yield to the state treasury in
annual rentals about one hundred and
sixteen thousand dollars This is no
small amount of revenue, but it is of
less consideration than that the sys-
TEN of rentals has led to careful plant
ing Of oyster beds in order to derive
the greatest amount of profit from
them

Of the world Will not permit their COM
merce to be destroyed. They will go

ing short of war Will break her grip

Both Germany's war zone" decree
and, Great Britain's "Orders in Coun-
Gil" declares the St Louis Republic,
challenge Mmemorial neutral rights
and are founded in injustice" They
are, in short, Just attempts at inter-
national bullying. AS the New York
World sees it, the rights Of neutrals
on the ocean are being sacrificed to
the caution or timidity of the belliger-
ents as to their arrogance" For
IF Germany, with one of the great
est of navies, had been willing to risk
its high-sea fleet in battle it would not
have resorted to the savagery of its
submarine war-zone, menacing friends
and foes alike.
If Great Britain, always boastful of
it's sea-power, had been willing to use
it effectively at the start it would
have blockaded Germany instead of
blockading the commerce of neutral
nations.
ITO excuse it's naval inaction, Ger
many has nothing to offer but the plea
that the chances of defeat We're too
great 1t will keep it's battleships in
the Kiel Canal, safe from harm, until
successful fighting is reasonably GER
tain.
ITO explain it's refusal to blockade
the coast of Germany, thereby chal-
longing and probably forcing a sea-
fight, Great Britain has nothing to
offer but the plea that, since the ar
rival of the submarine, blockading
operations are exceedingly dangerous.
I'VE thus have two great naval pow
ers declining fair and manly combat
with each other but both levying
kind OF war against neutrals in the
expectation that by such methods they
will inflict serious economic damage
upon their foes What they do to their
peaceful neighbors is a matter of sec

Or is scholarship also to be put on a

men that this was one of the last prob

worry about. Boys who survive the
preparatory course of study in high
schools and academies are presumably
physically equal to the demands of .
college education.
