MESSAGE IN A CODE
UNDER PIGEONS WING
Mrs. Ashby Of Coronado Apartment
Has Bird Marked "A. J.
IL. A. 1863.

Whether another attempt has been
made to violate American neutrality
by sending unneutral messages or
whether a Joke has been played by a
pigeon fancier has not yet been
fathomed, but there's a pigeon that's
been flying around this town with a
message secreted under its wing. 1t
is still secret. for nobody yet has
been able to get anything but failure
out of attempts to decipher the hero
glyphics which the pigeon carries.
A short while ago the pigeon, of the
carrier breed, flew on the back porch
of an apartment in the Coronado, 1870
Vernon street. Mrs. George Bennett
Ashby noticed the pigeon on her porch
and fed 1t. The bird returned every
day, and finally selected the Ashby
porch as its permanent home.
1t was fed and fed well, and with no
exercise to work off the excess weight
1t became fat and lolled around in the
sun just like any one with nothing to
do One day it flew on the window
sill and Mrs. Ashby noticed a twitch-
ing of one of it's wings Thinking 1t
had been hurt, she made an examina-
ton.
A Capsule Under Wic5.
There. tied to the wing. and close to
the body, was a capsule, such as is
used by druggists for quinine. 1t was
dislodged and taken apart. In the
capsule was some very fine paper,
which when opened was quite a large
sheet 1t contained the message, or
what Is believed to be a message.
''It does not look like any language"
said Mrs. Ashby last night ''In fact. l
cannot just describe what the charac-
ters looked like. 1t doesn't even look
like the Chinese language. Neither
does it appear to be any system OF
shorthand. 1t may be that 1t Is some
code which some people have figured
out among themselves for the transfer
of information. The pigeon is still
resting at my home. and have made at
tempts to locate the owner. On one of
the pigeons legs is band containing

ARMY OFFICERS RECALL
4 DUE TO EMBARRASSMENT

Embarrassment and possible per-
sonal friction are believed to be the
real reason for the recall of the five
United States Army officers who have
been acting as military observers with
German armies and the determinati tion
OF the War Department that no others
Will be sent to take their places.

The reason assigned by Secretary
Garrison for the recall order last
evening was that their mission had
been fulfilled This explanation, 1t was
announced, would be the War Depart

1t Is known. however, that other
reasons, largely of personal char

Position Difficult
The American officers, 1t is said. have
found their position somewhat diff
cult because of the high tension to
which at least a few of those with
whom they must come in contact in
Germany have been strung by months
many crtticistng the attitude OF the
United States on various subjects re-
lating to the war.
The effect has been to hamper the OBJ
servers and open possibilities Of per-
sonal friction that might become in
ternational. and officials here are un-
derstood to have determined to with
draw the officers rather than that any
unpleasant incident should occur.
Secretary Garrison was positive in
asserting that the withdrawal had no
connection with the case of Maj. Lang
horne. recently relieved from duty as
American military attache at the Ber-
lin embassy. This statement set at
rest suggestions that the reports Of
the observers to the War Department
had not been regarded confidential

Senator Jones AnaIyzes Ma

1t Bears on 1916.
COLONEL'S WITHDRAWAL
WOULD AID BUSINESS
Will Be Factor, But Neither He Nor
Taft Will Be Candidate of
United Republican Party.

Declaring that tho republican chances
for victory in 1916 are of the brightest.
Senator Jones of Washington in an inter-
view last night declared that the party
will present solid front in the next cam
paign, and he analyzed many points OF
interest in the coming political struggle
He said that in his opinion former Presi-
dent Taft would not be the nominee of
the republicans for the presidency. He
predicted that former President Roosevelt
would not be a candidate for the Office
but added that he believed the colonel
would be a factor in the contest.
Col Roosevelt always is a factor in
any matter in which he takes an interest
said Senator Jones. But he will not be
factor as a candidate if he heeds his
own Judgment and follows the advice of
those who really are his friends He will
be a factor however, in the selection of
candidate and the framing of the plat
form, and a factor for good. He and his
friends with those who are. in general,
friendly to the policies which he believes
in but did not follow him two years
ago. can absolutely control the republican
party in the naming of it's candidate and
the formation of its platform.
IF he will follow the dictates Of his
own patriotic judgment and the wishes of
those who do not want to use him and his
influence for their own political prefer
ment but who sincerely desire to see him
take that place in the party and with the
people that his patriotism and American
ism deserve, he will declare emphatically
that he will not seek the nomination, but
that he will do all he can to nominate
man upon platform meeting the present
imperative demands of the times, and that
he will do all in his power as a patriotic
duty to elect the man nominated and put
into effect the principles enumerated

Good Roads.

This is the time of the year when
good roads = appeal to everybody
if they are compelled to travel them
any. With mud hub deep there is
nothing that looks more desirable than
good, solid country highways over
which farmers could get in and out of
town at any season of the year, and,
if necessary, with big loads.
Two years ago the deepest mud on
earth was from the Orofno public
schools up past the cement plant to
George Alteneder's s home.
1t was hub deep. with many places
apparently bottomless. In the fall Of
1914 Road Overseer Harry Cawiield
graded and crowned this road UP to
the village limits, and citizens,
during Good Roads day, rocked and
graveled, and the railroad company
put on cinders from the Bennell corner
to the Christian church property.

Orofino Won.

Orofno had good basket ball con-
test Wednesday night when the second
teams from the Orofino and Weippe
schools met. The boys put up good
contest, and T. c. Reese of Gilbert
refereed to the satisfaction of both
teams. There was no squabbling.
Probably the most interesting feature
of the game was to see Anderson, CEN
ter for Orofino, human telephone
pole, playing center against little
short fellow, the pair somewhat re-
sembling the pictures of jeff and
Mutt. In this case little jeff gen.
orally lacked about four feet of being
able to connect with the ball on the
toss off, since Anderson, when he
Strengthened up, could get the sphere
every time. And the same trouble
arose for Weippe wherever Anderson
happened to show up. If he got the
ball near a basket all he had to do
was to drop it thru the iron knothole.
What the Weippe team really needed
was stepladder to overcome their de-
ficiency in length. The first half
closed 90 to 5 for Orofino. The sec
ond half was more even. Welppe
woke up, scoring II to Is for Orotino.

week free course for miners ard pros.
pectors at the University JanuarJ 4,
open to all. No tuition. The stu
dent who comes to take the short
course knows the problems he is up
against, and what he needs; he Sc

ard the course is adjusted to help him
solve his problems and increase his
earnings. The course has been de-
vised particularly to help the man
who works, either for himself or

while attending school should know,
after completing these courses, where
to look and where not to look for ore
deposits: how to make fire assay for
gold, silver or lea d; to figure the dis
tance and direction to run drift in
order to reach shaft. to determine
mineral by using a blowpipe; to
figure the best way to open up new

And They Say Prohibition Don't Prohibit.

Lewiston Tribune: Large quanti-
ties of the choicest wines of the
Schleicher vintage are row being con-
verted into vinegar as a result of the
Idaho prohibition laws which prevent
the shipment of wines and make the
possession of the same misdemeanor.
The wholesale prices of these wines
range from 75 cents to 81 gallon and
when marketed as vinegar the price
will be about Is cents per gallon.
The passing of the Schleicher wines
will be a matter Of much regret to
large numbers of Idaho people because
for many years these products were a
state pride and were served at many
state functions. The Schleicher
wines received gold medals at the ma
tional expositions in Buffalo, Omaha,
st. Louis, Lewis & Clark exposition
in Portland and the Yukon-Pacific ex-
position in Seattle. Their excellence
has done much to call attention to the
rare Lewiston climate ard the produc-
tiveness of the soil Of the Lewiston
valley.
The curtailment in the production
of wines was commenced six years
ago when the first local option meas
ure was enacted. Since that time
the vineyards devoted exclusively to
the growing of wine grapes have been
dug up and no wine has been made
since that time.
The process of turning wine into
vinegar is very simple. The only
requirement is to expose the wine to
the air by the removal Of the plug in
the top of the barrel and the process
of change is carried on by nature.

Too Much Politics.

Governor A lexander 5 irrigation and
drainage code commission, says
Boise news item recently appearing,
is coming in for some hot criticism
these days. 1t was created to codlfy
the laws of the state relating to ir-
rigaton and drainage laws. 1t was
made UP of Chase A. Clark, Ernest
Anderson, d. l.. Carter, three law
yers; J. A. Waters, supposed to be
informed as to irrigation, and Z. Z.
Elliott, supposed to be informed as to
drainage.
Members of the commission have
been running around over the state,
ostensibly getting pointers as to
actual conditions, and now three of
them are in the race for congress
Elliott, republican, and Clark and
Anderson, democrats. In spite of the
fact that there are three lawyers on
the commission, SITS has been allowed
and claims amounting to S3O8. SO are
pending for illegal services for A.
V. CiidiIlldh VI eio HANts
county democratic committee. Four
of the members have presented the
following claims for Expenses -
Waters of Twin Falls, $585. 46;
Anderson of Parma, $518.99; Elliott,
Bonners Ferry. $627 80; Carter, Cam
bridge, $433. .46. Chase A. Clark OF
Mackay, the fifth member of the com,
mission, has presented no claim up to
this time.
But the hottest censure comes iron
irrigators. The commission has sub
mitted report adverse to conditions
and management on some of the ir
rigation projects. Those responsible
resent this as a KNOCK. The.
insist that if it is permitted to stan'
it will make it impossible to financ
