GOVERNOR RECEIVES
MESSAGE FROM BELL,
Men Will Be at Rendezvous
for Two Weeks Before
Being Mustered Out of
Service and Sent to Home
Stations.

The Idaho congressional delegation
Is behind the demand that the Second
Idaho regiment be mustered out at
Boise barracks instead of at Fort
Douglas, Salt Lake. General Bell
western division, war department, San
Francisco, is the military authority in
whose hands a change of demobiliza-
ton station rests. He is being bonn
barded with kilograms to direct the
regiment to move from Nogales to this
city Every possible pressure is being
brought to bear on him by state Off
Gals, commercial organizations and
business men of Boise as well as mem
bers of the congressional delegation at
Washington
The fact that the Boise barracks is
without heat, water and light and that
the cost of making the necessary con-
nections to supply them will be con-
siderable is a drawback that stands in
the way of changing the place of de-
mobilization. All of these accommoda-
tions would have to be supplied as the
officers and men will be at rendezvous
about IA days according to General
Bell. If that is true it may be diff
cult for the troops to reach their homes
by Christmas.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
OVER THE COUNTRY

The weather is becoming more set
tied over the northwest as a high air
pressure area, which is located off the
Oregon coast, gives promise of coming
farther inland. AS is often the case,
this anti-cyclonic movement Is pre-
ceded by light precipitation. There
is a considerable storm area central
in New Mexico and another In the ex-
IRENE northeast. However, the air
pressure is high along the greater por-
ton of the Mississippi valley, with fair
weather attending. There have been
noticeable temperature falls in the
east. The only zero weather reported
is from Winnipeg, Man.
