CAMPAIGN PLANS NOT CLEAR
Hint That Allies May Abandon
Balkan MISREPRESENTATION

ize-An Austrian Submarine
Sinks italian Cruiser.

London, Dec. S-The Balkan situation IS
developing rapidly. The Germans and
Bulgarians have reached Kenali, on the
Greek border. ten miles south of Monas-
tir, thus threatening to outilank the
Anglo French forces, while Bugars. who
also are supposed to be supported by
Germans. have attacked the allies ex
treme right wing near Strumitza.
Under this pressure the French have
withdrawn from the Krivolak salient and
at last accounts had taken UP a position
at Demirkapou in a deep gorge about ~
miles from the Greek frontier, through
which the Saloniki railway runs. Here
they were attacked by the Bulgarians.
who, according to the French reports
were repulsed.
The plans Of neither the allies nor the
Germans are yet quite clear, but ap-
pa"ently the Germans are determined on
crushing the small number of troops
which went to the assistance of the
Serbians and which has been and is still
being reinforced. The retirement by the
allies to Demirkapou has led to the re-
port that they intended to abandon the
Ealkan enterprise entirely. but the con-
tinued landing of troops at Saloniki
would seem to deny any such Intention,
while there Is a very strong military
opinion here that Saonik should be held
as n base for future operations in the
Near East
There is little news from the other
fronts. The Germans have scored minor
success in Champagne. where thev c -
tured about 500 yards of French trench
part Of which, however, has been regain
ed; the British have received reinforce
ments at Kut-El- -Amara, where they are
making their stand after the retreat from
Ctesiphon; and the Italians, who for tho
past two weeks have been on the often.
sive. are now engaged in meeting the Aus
trian counter-attacns.
The expected offensive by the allies in
Gallipoli apparently did not materialize,
while throughout Russia the wintry
weather has put stop to all but small
ventures.

Business Colleges.
Lincoln is fortunate in having two
business colleges which will compare
with any in the country. Both are
equipped with all the modern advantages
and both are turning out hundreds of
students every year capable of stepping
the places assigned them.
Lincoln Business college Is the
Oldest of its kind in the city. About two
years ago It moved into Its new build
ing. which had been erected especially
to FIJI the needs of a college of this kind.
The college first started out as a small
school In 1854. and for years was situated
In the oliver Theater building Its busi-
ness increased 30 rapidly the last few
years that II was necessary to have
more room and better facilities for car
ryins on the work. and so the present
building was erected. Last year about
800 students attended this college and
this year has been increased consId-
erably. President z. c. Bigger feels
that the acme of perfection has been
Just AZ nearly reached as It Is possible
to DO 90 In the new location and the
success with which he Is placing grad
uates OF the institution and their abil-
ity 20 make good. convinces him that no
mistake was made when the new build
ing was erected at the corner Of Four
teenth and and the college moved
from where II had been from infancy.
All student graduates are found positions
when they leave the school.
The Nebraska School of Business dates
Its creation back to 1904. when as Browns
Business college, It first sprang into ex-
istence. Il continued In its location at
Fifteenth and o for several years, when
II was purchased by w. M. Bryant and

its university over 100000 and con

up into half a million more.
Seventeen buildings comprise the pres

Within these buildings are registered an
nually between $500 and 1900 students.
Connected with the university are nearly

ali doing their part. toward making tho
university, what II really lA. the best in
the west and one Of the best In the
country.
Though not located in Lincoln, the
state university has a medical college
which is considered one OF the best in
the country. This college IL situated In
Omaha. That this institution OF medicine
stands high IL indicated by the fact that
II has been placed In class A by the
American Association OF Medical Col
leges Graduates Of this college carry
the diploma OF the Nebraska state unIver-

COAL ON RAFT RIVER
Story in POcatellO That Well Driller
Penetrated Rich Vein.


Discovery of vein of coal on the
west slope of the Hegler mountains
in the Raft river valley by we'll
driller, was the news received by
Pocatello business men interested in
Raft river land yesterday, and a par
ty has already been formed which
will proceed to the district Sunday to
investigate the find The informa-
ton was authentic, brought to the
city in person by a resident of Ameri-
can Falls together with a small lump
of coal of seemingly good quality to
prove his story
About a month ago in the Arbon
valley a new vein of coal was dis
covered, and it is thought that this
same vein extends under the Arbon
valley through the Rockland valley
and into Raft river valley and the
Hegler mountains. Dry farmers are
reported to be highly elated at the find
owing to the fact that the discovery
of paying coal would bring railroad
into the valley in quick time, provld-
ing it could be mined at reasonable
expense, 1t is accessible and grade

that the discovery of coal in paying
quantities would lead the road te

WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS
Stockmen in Upper Snake Valley Ask
That Bounty be Restored.

A band Of wolves in the hills and
mountains east of town near the head
of Willow creek are destroying horses
and cattle and the stockmen OF that
section and others who have livestock
interests there will have to take some
measure for protection and will ask
that the grazing association restore
the bounty on predatory animals
which was withdrawn the first or July
as there seems to be more real need
Of the bounty now than at any 9TH
er time. SAYS the Idaho Falls Regis

A. d. Daniels, in the employ OF
A. j. Day, a prominent stockman of
Ammon vicinity, came in from the
stock range section at the head or
Willow creek yesterday and reported
to Mr.. Day that fine mare and colt,
property of Mr.. Day, and ten head or
cattle had been killed within the past
few days. Daniels says that there is
"a band of ten to twelve full-grown
gray wolves travelling in that section
killing cattle.
Mr.. Day stated that the wolves had
been seen by several people, includ-
| ing a Mr.. Weaver, who has cattle in
terests in that section.
| 1t is stated that the wolves are more
numerous this season than for long
time past and that they have grown
bold in the depredations, attacking
and pulling down fullgrown livestock
and that sheepherder of that section
who opened up on them with his rifle
had the wolves after him.
Mr.. Day is of the opinion that the
grazing association will be obliged t6
restore the bounty on predatory AMI

PROTEST AGAINST WAR


Twin Falls, Ida, July 18th, 1915.
President Woodrow Wilson,
Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir:
We, the Socialists of Twin Falls,
Idaho, in meeting assembled, do here
by urgently protest against any act
of this government tending to in
volve this nation in war with any
other country
We assert that the present conflict
in Europe is utterly uncalled for No
act so far committed by any of the
belligerent nations aimed at the Unit
ed States should cause war between
us.
We therefore, declare our position
to be resolutely against all steps of
preparations for military purposes
and in no event will we consent to
a conflict.
We respectfully submit for your
consideration our conviction that the
sentiment of a great majority of the
American people is against war and
that in case of hostilities between this
nation and Mexico, or any other ma
ton, disastrous civil ruptures must
necessarily occur

MERGER NOT CONTRARY TO LAW
Attorney General Peterson Advises Its
,COnsummatiOn be Permitted.

The last word to the granting of le-
gal approval for the formation of the
merger of southern Idaho power in
ferests was given Friday when Attor-
Dey General Peterson handed to the
governor an opinion to the effect that
ahe combination was not in violation
Of The state antitrust law.
His opinion was prepared some time
ago, but was held pending the receipt
of assurance from the utilities COM
mission that when the merger is fl
nally completed 1t will not be permit
ted to include the value of unused
plants in making rates to the pub
lie.
The attorney generals opinion was
rendered at the request of the gov.
ernor. When the chief executive
hearing that a merger was to bt
formed asked the attorney genera
for an opinion as to whether such ;
combination was legal, Mr.. Peterson
delegated the public utilities commits
sion to make an investigation. Tia
body held hearing and reported t
the attorney general that the merge
was an economic necessity. The at
e9orney general then prepared his re
port to the governor, which was il
part as follows:
Business Necessity.
1.-THE evidence submitted by tn
public utilities commission does nc
carry with it any indication whateve
that the merger in question is bein
contaminated in violation of law; o.
IN other words, that the condition
which obtain in the present case ar
euCh as were intended to bring an
Nlyen combination of interests With

and useful in the public service at the
time of such valuation.
at seems to me, therefore, that If
this rule is followed there need be no
fear along this lin.
State Regulation
81 agree further with the commits
sion in it's conclusion that the enact
ment of the public utilities statute
has largely taken those utilities, over
which the commission has been given
direct control through the regulation
| of the antitrust statute insofar as the
prohibition against monopolies is con-
cerned. Indeed, as explained by our
own supreme court in the case of Ida
no Power & Light company VS. Bloom
quist, 26 Ida, 222, the public utilities
act may be considered as having sub
stituted, protected and regulated mon
Iopoly in certain public utilities for the
kind of unregulated competition
which has brought about the unfortu-
nate financial conditions of the indi-
vidual corporations concerned in this
merger, condition from which they
are evidently trying to emerge through
the proposed consolidation. Since the
commission has ample authority, not
only to regulate service, but to fi1
rates which will yield reasonable re
J turn and no more on the property
: used and useful in the service of thu
; consuming public, see no reason fOl
apprehending public oppression
! through the enhancement of prices
: or any of the other evils which or
, dinarily follow in the wake of un
regulated monopoly.
Because of the existence of thi
!, power in the commission and Of wha
