Perhaps one Of the most aston
ishing inventions on record was the
device Of a Frenchman who sug-
gested the laying down Of huge sue
ton tubes from the coast out to
various points in the open sea.
When war broke out and hostile
fleets approached the coast, ma
chinery on shore would be set to
work, the enemy's vessels would be
caught by the irresistible suction,
drawn to the ends Of the tubes and
there held firmly as prisoners. The
one essential part Of this idea which
seemed to be missing was the ma
shinery which was going to draw a
$4,000 ton warship backward With
is engines going at full steam
ahead.

What is Lewis county going to
do about the proposed state high
wayi This is the big question
now before our rich common
wealth, and the demand for an
answer viii be upon us ere we are
ready unless unusual activity is
resorted to by the pOpulaee. A
meeting Of the Development Club
of this community is to be held at
the Nezperee Hotel tomorrow
friday evening, whereat the
preliminary plans to be followed
by this section of the county will
come up for general consideration
and the approval Of all interested. /
1t is, therefore, important that all
business men from the town and /
the surrounding farms-this club /
recognizes the farmer as much of
a business man as the merchant
or banker-be on hand to partiei-
pate in this initiatOry step. Var
ious centers Of south Idaho, reeog-
nizing the Importance to the
whole state Of this trunk highway,
have announced their desire that
all available state and national
resources be used toward
the building of the north and
south road. This sentiment is
concurred in by practically every
for state office and
leading bushes men from all sec
tons. Idaho county has several
strong organizations doing mis-
sionary work for the road thru
her domain and others are form
ng, and the outlook is good for a
arge bond issue by her people to
meet the state half way in the ex-
,ense Of the project. Public senti-
nent says the north and south I
Highway must be built. 1t is time
or Lewis county to act. 1t is our I
hanee TO further overcome the |
lost serious drawback to our {
,unly, lack Of transportation IA

The motor ear, installed last
Friday for passenger service Oh
the Nezperee railroad, struck the
popular chord and has been max
ing the run between this city ana

with most satisfactory results t.
all concerned Like the hero In
popular story, Nezperee " general
~ gets what she wants Some
times it takes a long while, but il
comes and when it arrives the
people know and appreciate it.
The securing Of the railroad was
a long, tedious pull, and now that
this latest improvement has been
added, our people feel that they
are very much more in touch with
the outside world, and this re-
gardless Of weather conditions
which often left the town serious
ly isolated, and proved a powerful
detriment to substantial improve
ment in all lines In the installa-
ton of this motor coach, the Nez-
perez road is among the pioneer
railroads to take up this method
Of successfully meeting jitney
competition in all sections of the
country. In fact, the success of
these rail motor ears is causing
serious contemplation of their in
stallation on trunk lines.

Rev. Frank NJ. Steadman, rector of
st. Marks Mission, is taking a great
interest in the raising of the sum of
100000 for the purpose Of estab-
fishing a pension system for the cler-
symen Of the Episcopal church. This
work was started On March 1, 1916.
and It is proposed to raise the sum on
or before March 1, 1917. The first
month of the work saw pledged the
sum Of s1,0O0,00O, or one-ffth Of the
total amount, and the church workers
feel certain that the entire amount
can be raised if every man who has
the best interests of the work at heart
will take hold Of it and do his shore.
The work is in charge of Right Rev.
William Lawrence, D. D., bishop of
Massachusetts and the treasurer of the
fund is ]. Pierpont Morgan. All over
the country the church is taking the
matter up with a great deal Of enthu-
SUM, and while in Maine there has
been no connected action taken owing
to tie fact that the new bishop of
Maine has not yet arrived. it is expect

arrives here. In the meantime the To-

spring. The White will have a we'll bal
anced team with especial strength in the
weight events with Capt. Leadbetter, J..
b. Moulton '16, G. E. Goliath II and N.
u. McConaughy II. In the quarter, half
and mile r. N. Fillmore II, w. w. ST.
monitor '1S and c. H. Crosby II are vet
Grams who will have to be taken into ac-
count, while P. S. Turner 10, the former
Cony high captain, is almost certain to
figure in the finals in one or two events.
In the high jump H. S. White II,
and H. G.. Wood '1e. are strong men
and Whites early season form ven
lures the prediction that he will have
to be Watched by the other Maine
jumpers this spring. Bowdoin should
have little difficulty in taking one or
beth hurdles with W. A. Savage rs,
Who captured the New England con-
tests in both the high and the low
hurdles last year, and Leigh Weber.
'16, who is a close rival of Savage
Frederick PRIME '18, ard w. w. Simon

tally in the 220. H. H. Sampson II.
should be point winner in the pole
vault, while there are a number Of men
ir whom marked deve lopment has been
noticed during the winters training
