Strumnitza, the most important forti-
fled city in the southwestern part of the
Bulger Kingdom and are said to have
annihilated entire battallions of Bull
garians. Great Britain, Russia and
Italy have declared war on Bulgaria,
and while the latter country may not
send troops to the Balkans she will use
her navy. The Allies are to send large
reinforcements to the Balkans and it is
limited that steps are being taken that
will bring Turkey to her knees before
the Germans can possibly reach her
with help. British submarines have
practically cleared the Baltic sea of Ger
man shipping and stopped the shipment
of supplies to Germany from Sweden.
Five German trans ports were sunk and
another forced ashore at one time.
Meanwhile the German submarines are
less active in British waters and the
trans Atlantic traffic goes on with ap-
parent safety. There are differences in
the English cabinet which have led to
the resignation of the attorney general
and it is feared the crisis may take a
serious turn.

, The war still goes on. In the west the
Allies are holding the ground gained in
their recent advance; in the east the
Russians are generally on the offensive
and the Austro-Germans losing ground.
Russia seems to be we'll supplied with
munitions. At the Dardanelles the Al
lies have met with heavy losses with no
appreciate gain and there is talk of
withdrawing their troops, though
change in the command of the British
forces may mean new plan of cam
paign. The Serbians and Montenegrins
in northern and western Serbia are stren-
uously contesting the march of the
Austrians and Germans and on the east
the Serbians are fighting hard against
Bulgarian attacks. The Allies have
come to their aid and have captured

The Marine Journal, New York, has
reached its 3Sth year of publication with
out missing single number in the fifty
two weeks of each year, and for thirty
of these years Capt. George L. Norton
has been at the helm and held his Jour-
nalistic craft straight on her course, with
Old Glory nailed to the mast and guns
trained on the enemies of our shipping
interests. Although passing through
many years of dry picking for the ma
rine industry, with altogether too few of
real prosperity, Capt. Norton says:
We are far from being discouraged,
however, and in beginning our thirty
eighth year, will ''pick our flint anew"
and continue to hammer away for the
betterment of the American merchant
marine and all connected with it's allied
industries.

Whether you favor or oppose national
prohibition you will have TO admit that it
is coming in the near future; and the
liquor interests, recognizing this fact, are
making their death struggle and pouring
out their money like-water! After
January l, 1916, nearly eighty per cent
of the area of this country will be dry
territory and sixty-fve per cent of the
population will be living under prohibi-
tory law. The temperance movement is
not confined to this country, but is world
wide. The most surprising event of the
year was in Russia, where a simple edict
established empire-wide prohibition; the
government, which had a monopoly of
the liquor traffic, thereby losing rev.
enue of 500, 100000 year. This it is
claimed has been made up by the in
creased efficiency of the working people,
remarkable increase in bank deposits
and better conditions in the homes. With
the exception of a few seaports the en-
tire continent of Asia is under prohibit
ton, either by civil or religious law.
More than half of Africa is dry terri
tory, although Boston continues to send
cargoes of rum there, despite interna-
tional agreement to keep it out. All of
Australia is under local option, which
gives any part of the country the power
to stop the drink traffic at any time. In
both France and Great Britain restric-
tons have been placed on the sale and
use of intoXlcants and their use in the
royal households, in official circles and in
the homes of the rich has been given up.
The war has brought about this reforma-
ton, but the movement thus inaugurated
will continue after the war is ended and
the improved conditions resulting there
from will compensate in some degree for
the enormous losses entailed by the great
war now in progress.
A stock argument of those in favor of
the open saloon has been that it made
business lively. 1t does-for the saloon
keeper, the courts, the keepers of iails,
and reformatories. The money that goes
into the till of the saloonkeeper would
otherwise 60 for the luxuries and neces-
saries of life in the lines of legitimate
trade, and in many cases money is spent
for liquor when women and children in
the homes are suffering for want of food
and clothing. The revenue received
from the liquor traffic is more than offset
by the cost of criminal prosecutions, the
maintenance of prisons, reformatories
and asylums, etc., due to the drink habit,
and it is these and other admitted facts
that are behind the world move
ment for tempersnce.

We read in an exchange that, "Plans
are under way and subscribers are being
solicited for a new weekly paper to be
published at Bridgton, Me-" and that it
is hoped the plans will mature success
fully so that Bridgton can be represent

matter with the Bridgton News? 1t
seems to US to meet all the requirements

knowledge of the field, and of the out

the country weekly has to contend with,
we should say that Bridgton can support

GET RID OF HUM0RS
AND AVOID DISEASE

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the
whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions. They affect
all the organs and functions, mem
branes and tissues, and are directly
responsible for tie readiness with
which some people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsaparllla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and out
ward effects. 1t is distinguished for
its thoroughness in purifying the
blood, which it enriches and invigor-
ates. No other medicine acts like it.,
for no other medicine is like it.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance Of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakab1e earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. 1t
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

The article on another page from the
Washington Star on the far reaching eff
fects of great storms at sea recalls an ex-
perience of the writer some years ago.
Coming out of Rockland harbor one after
noon in little sloop we had no sooner
passed the breakwater than we encoun-
tered very heavy sea. Not a boisterous
sea with angry white caps, but waves
running so high that when we went down
into the trough of the sea we lost the light
wind that mad filled the sails and made
such slow progress that we were glad
when able to make Rockport harbor and
anchor for the night. There had been
no local storm, none on the New Eng
land coast, so that this sea must have
been due to a hurricane in distant wa
tiers.

The review of Lincoln Colcord's poem,
vision of War;" from the Boston
Transcript is splendid tribute to ma
tive author. The reviewer says: "In this
great poem Mr.. Colcord has, in my opin-
ion, produced the most important piece
of literature of the year." Mr.. Colcord s
literary ability in various forms was
manifested when at the University of
Maine, his alma mater, and his Stein
Song holds permanent place there.
Since leaving college he has become
widely known as the author of stirring,
intensely dramatic, stories Of the sea,
and now We have this poem, which has
elected such praise from the Boston
Transcript, everywhere recognized as a
literary authority.

County Appraisers
Fail to Agree

The report comes from Occur
d'Alene shat it appears certain
that the district court will have
to appoint a referee or third man
to take a part in the settlement
being made between this county
and Kootenai, for the reason that
it seems to be impossible for
the appraisers appointed by the
two counties to agree. 1t was
stated that i'm the work done up
to last Saturday there was a diff
ference of thirteen thousand dol
lars between the values fixed by
the two appraisers and that there
did not seem to be any chance of
them reaching an agreement.
Thirteen thousand dollars is a
hig difference and if they are as
far apart as that it is very doubt
full if they can get together. The
division bill provides that each
county should name an appraiser
to make The settlement and if
they cannot agree the Judge of
the district court is to appoint a
third. If it becomes necessary
for the court to appoint a third
imam it means not only an added
expense to both of the counties
but it also means a big delay in
finishing the settlement as the
work already done by the apprais-
ers will have to be gone over
again for the benefit of the third
man.
C. NJ. Sargent, cashier of the
Lumbermen's bank is the ap-
lpraiser representing this coun-
ty in The settlement. The Koot-
enai county appraiser is the cash
ier of the bank at Post Falls.

All of the other candidates
whose names have been mention
ed have declined to allow their
names to be presented and the
contest will be between these two.
Both men are recognized as cap
able and are we'll qualified for
the position and the contest be-
tween them although it will prob
ably be spirited, will be friendly
and which ever one is SUCCESS
full the people generally will feel
that a competent man has been
put up.
There has been no particular
talk about candidates for the
other city offices. Both City
Clerk Schultz and City Treasur-
er Flint have given good salts

for granted that they will both
be candidates to succeed them
selves and that there will be no

Fatal Accident
At FernWOOd
DAVID KIDD CRUSHED BY [
Was Unloading From CaF.---DieS While Being
Brought to This City

David Kidd, a laborer, working
for the Blackwell Lumber COM
pany, was accidentally killed at
Fernwood Sunday The accident
occurred at about four O'Clock in
the afternoon. He was engaged
i'm unloading a car load of poles
at the pole yard at FernwoOd and
one of the poles caught. When
he attempted to loosen it the en-
tire load came down and he was
caught and crushed among them.
He was still alive when taken
out from among the logs. His
friends saw that he was badly in
jured and that the only chance
to save his life was to get him to
a hospital as quickly as possible
and they procured a speeder and
started for this city but he died
before they reached Santa. The
ambulance had been telephoned
to meet them on their arrival
and the body was taken to Null
cahy's undertaking parlors.
News of the accident was tele-
phoned to the Blackwell Lumber
company's head Office at Occur d.
Alene and instruction were re-
ccived to embalm the body and
hold it while an effort was being
made to locate the dead man s
relatives.
Kidd was about forty years of
age. He had worked in the lum-
Der camps and on the river in this
vicinity for a number of years
and was we'll known to the log
gers and men working in the
woods in this section but, as is
common with men in his line,
very little is known is regard TO
his relatives. He is supposed
to have been unmarried.

Harness Thief
Pleads Guilty

Monday was a busy day in the
probate court, at least three cases
being disposed Of. Oscar Paul
son and M. A. Weaver, the two
men who were being held on sus-
picion of having stolen a set of
harness from the homestead of
Mrs. May Grant, were arraigned
in court and Paulson plead guilty
to the charge and will receive his
sentence this afternoon. Weav-
er was discharged as there was no
evidence to connect him with the
crime and the confession of Paul
son completely exonerated him
from completely.
1t will be remembered that the
two men brought the harness to
Stays second hand store a short
time ago and tried to dispose of
il. Slay thought they might
have stolen it and gave the men
one dollar, telling them that he
would pay the balance the next
morning. When they came for
the money in the morning an Of
flcer was waiting for them and
placed them under arrest. The
officers already had information
that a harness had been stolen
near Plummer and the owner was
notified and came here and iden-
titled it.
G. w. Cunningham, the worth
less check artist, was brought in
to court. He waived a prelim-
mary examination and was bound
over for trial in the district court.
His bail was fixed at two hundred
and fifty dollars which he was an
able to furnish and he was re-
manded to Jail.
! John Lane was brought before
