Col L. V. Patch needs no intro
duction to the people of the Payette

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR BIG SAW MILL
EMMETT AND BOISE PAPERS
THINK PAYETTE WILL CAP
TURE THE PRIZE.

FayetteS prospects appear 10 be
mighty good now to have located
here the big saw mill which it is
said the Weyerhausers have definite
ly determined to build without un-
necessary delay.
The news item printed in the last
number of the Emmett Index and
the special dispatch subsequently ap-
pearing in the Capital News, after
the staff correspondent of that paper
had sized up the situation, have had
a tendency TO make the people of
Payette believe that some gentlemen
Of this city who have been working
for some time past on the saw mill
proposition of the Weyerhausers, have
not labored altogether in vain.
If Payette gets the mill it will be
a big card and Payette is beginning
to believe that it will win out.
PAYETTE TO GET MILL.
(From Emmette Index, March 2.)
The Weyerhausers will this month
definitely locate the big lumber mill
they will build in the Payette valley
to saw their vast timber holdings in
Long valley. 1t looks as if Payette |
would be. selected as the site, in spite
of the fact that Emmett possesses
superior natural advantages for such I
a mill. But Emmett's hopes went |
q oolir,r aripo fbic ,uoaly ubop on
nouncement was made by the COM
pany's representative, Harry Shell
worth, that all the land owned by
the company would be put on the
market. A contract has been given
to Bill Little to level the land and
seed it to alfalfa, after which it will
be sold in 20 and 40-acre tracts. Hy
Dunn certainly worked smooth
scheme when he induced prominent
Short Line officials to become stock
holders in the new hotel to be built
at Payette.
INDICATIONS POINT TO PAYETTE.
Capital News Correspondent
Emmett, March THE Weyerhaus-
ers are going to build mammoth
saw mill at some point on the Pay
ette river to saw their immense hold
ings of timber in the Long Valley
district. The definite location of this
mill will be determined this month.
The indications now seem to be
favorable that this mill will be locat-
ed at Payette.
The Weyerhausers own 320 acres
of land at Plaza, four miles north
east of Emmett on the Idaho North
ern railroad. This land is situated on
the south bank of the Payette river ;
and is an ideal mill site. 1t all along
has been the hope and belief of EN-
NETT that the big mill would be locat-
ed there. These hopes have gone
because of the fact that
the big timber company has decided
to put this land on the market and !
sell it in 20 and 40Lacre tracts. A
contract was given to William Little
of Emmett to level the 800 acres at
Plaza and seed it to alfalfa, after
which the land is to be put on the
market. Mr.. Little will start level
ing the land this week.

With present total reserve of 30
per cent, where the law REQUIRES IL
per cent, 279 state banks and nine
trust companies report total deposits
OF $133,S51,536, a gain of $32,2O7.-

poets, based on his intimate relations
with state bank business, Examiner

ONLY TWO PARTIES IN
STATE NOW OFFICIALLY
Bull Moose and Socialists Poll Less
Than Required 10 Per Cent.

AS a political party the Progress
sives ceased to exist, the official state
canvass indicates. There were a
scattered few votes for the Bull
Moose nominees, but a census of the
Seattle or King county membership
would account for most of these.
The Socialists slipped back and in
the slipping slumped off so badly
that they no longer figure as one of
the parties that must have place on
the primary tickets. Four years ago
the Socialists were a primary party;
as a result of this years election
they merely trailed; their vote is
negligible.
The fact that none save the Re-
publican and Democratic parties cast
more than 10 per cent Of the total
vote means these are the only two
organizations that will participate in
the next primary. This fact was an
ticipated from the unofficial returns
AS was expected, United States
Senator Miles Poindexter was the big
winner, with a plurality of 56,94S;
Wilson second, with 16,504, and Lis
ter third with 1890. Though the
latter's majority over Mcbride was
about 5000 less than Wilson's over
Hughes, Governor Lister received
only 1900 less votes than did the
president, Listers total being 49,
642 and Wilson's 1929. Presi-
dent Wilson carried King county by
1867 majority.

GENERALS ADVOCATE
MILITARY TRAINING
LEADERS OF L. =. ARMY WANT
1T COMPULSORY AND
UNIVERSAL.

Lessons drawn from the present
war prove that in case of war with
a first-class power the United States
would need Immediately trained
force of l 100000 men, with another
100000 available within 80 DAYS,
Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief
of staff of the United States army,
told the senate committee considering
the universal military training bill,
this week.
Both General Scott and Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, commanding the
Eastern department, declared that
the mobilization of the national guard
for border service was a military fail
ure. emphasizing the urgent necessity
OF abandoning the volunteer system
as the nations reliance for defense.
Want Universal Training.
Both the generals advocated uni
versal training. Gen. Wood declared
. that the country now was utterly de-
fenseless against a we'll organized
foe; that the mobilization was a
tragedy, and that if the guardsmen
had met good troops they would
never have known what hit them"
Gen. Wood outlined his own plan
for universal service, which in effect
would be combination of the Cham
berlain bill, itself an adaptation of
the Australian system, and the French
general staff plan. His scheme would
provide that all physically fit men be
given six months training during
their nineteenth year, passing them
into the organized reserve, to be
available for first line duty between
the ages of Fl and 20, after which
they would be passed into the unor-
ganized reserve until 20. The result
would be a constant force Of trained
men with full equipment of more
than 100000, he said, in addition
to standing army Of 100000, com.
posed of men who were professional
soldiers by personal inclination.
National Guard Failure.
General Wood told the committee
that the National Guard is "a com.
plete and terrific failure"
This country needs "a real army
Of 100000" he said. you have
seen the guard mobilization for Dor.
der service. Nothing could have been
more pronounced than the ineffi-
cheney of that mobilization.
II had charge of - per cent OF
that mobilization. There is not one
unit of the guard at war strength OF
fit for war duty.
1T is the fault of the system, the
shortage of equipment and the gen.
eral low standard of efficiency"
