What is the matter with the proper

to the writer that this thing of procras-

PEACE RUMOR
IN ROME
Report That ltaIy'S Problem
May Soon be Solved.
AUSTRIAN PARLEY CRITICAL
Unnamed Neutral Diplomat Expects
Italy to Fight as Soon as Distribu-
ton of Territory Is Agreed Upon.

/
Italy to Fight as Soon as Distribu
tion of Territory Is Agreed Upon.
Within the past twenty-four hours
there have arisen in Rome persistent
reports that the grave international
questions confronting Italy may be
solved in the near future by what al
first sight seems almost incredible
the conclusion of a general peace in
Europe at a not distant date.
While these reports are intangible
and cannot at present be ascribed to
definite source, they nevertheless
are reflected in high quarters and they
are given heed by careful observers
of international politics.
Among other reasons in support OF
this, the argument is offered that
Rome is an excellent field for the
conduct of negotiations of thisApature.
Prince Won Buelow, one of the ablest
of German diplomats, is in Rome as
ambassador to Italy, and the official
relations between Italy and Germany,
as well as between Italy and the pow
ers of the Triple Entente, are cor
dial.
In certain quarters in Rome the
idea prevails that the advent of spring
has not seen such resumption Of ag-
gressive hostilities as had been prom
ised, a fact regarded as significant.
The Giornale DItalia publishes an
~a1
diplomat, who is quoted as saying:
"That Italy will participate in the
war has been decided on. What now
is necessary is clearly to agree on the
delimitation and distribution of the
eastern coast on the Adriatic between
Italy and the Slavs.
ITALY cannot risk a war to drive
out Austria from the Adriatic and
have Austria replaced in a military
sense. by the Russian advance guards
Therefore. Italy must have her stra'
tegic points completed by obtaining
Avlona. Albania, across the Adriatic
from Brindisi, with which she could
close the sea. Some Slavs favor com.
plete disarmament in the Adriatic."
The diplomat added that he thought
Russia and Great Britain would SUI
fer less from the present war than
from the antagonism by the two
countries which he said would follow
the war.
Although members of the Papal
Guard and the higher lay officials OF
the Vatican are exempted from service
in the Italian army, many of them
have asked permission to enlist, in.

WOULD BUILD A FLOUR
MILL IN THIS VALLEY
David Mccall Offers Farmers of This
Section an Opportunity TO Be-
cone Stockholders.

David Mccall, of the firm of
Jones e Mccall, Fallon sheet metal
workers, is here with the object In
view of promoting a -four and feed
mill in this valley. in which all the
farmers of the project will be af-
forded and opportunity to partici-
pate as stockholders. Mr.. Mccall
has very carefully investigated the
situation in California and the re-
suit of his observations lave con-
yineed him that the enterprise Is one
that should meet with the hearty
support Of every wheat grower as
we'll as everyone else who Is inter-
ested in seeing that We manufacture
more and purchase less in outside
markets.
The situation as Mr. Mccall puts it
is simply one of mathematics Our
farmers are just now having difficult
ty in finding market for the wheat
they have raised at about thirty dol
lars per ton, while at the same time
they are paying eighty dollars ton
for flour. 1t is Mr.. McCall's idea to
make custom or exchange MILL
wherein a farmer could bring in
three hundred pounds of wheat and
receive in exchange a barrel OF -four
or he could take less flour and re-
ceive more bran and middiings
This method has always proved very
popular wherever introduced and 1t
can be easily seen that 1t would be
more profitable both for the mill
and the farmer
A mill would at once CT eat cash
market for all the wheat raised in
the valley, and it is believed that the
market for flour within reasonable
distance would take all the flour that
could be made in a 100-barrel mill
1t has been demonstrated that this
valley can raise as good wheat as
can be grown anywhere and this
without the necessity of shipping in
hard wheat from the East Now is
the opportunity for the farmer and
business men II this valley TO secure
the establishment of q first class
-four mill in Fallon, by standing to-
gether and each taking few shares
in the corporation, as in union there
is strength.
Mr. Mccall would be pleased to
meet as many of our citizens as are
interested in the matter a. place
his plans before them Nr. Mccall
needs no introduction to the people
of Fallon as a reliable business man.
His thirty years of experience in the
-four mill business, makes him an
authority on all branches OF the man
ufaeture of mill products He is so
thoroughly convinced that there is
field here for profitable -four mill
that ne IS wills2g 8 back hls 5adg-
ment with his own money, and de-
sires the cooperation of the COM
munity in financial way for the
benefits that will accrue to all who
participate.
