Ridiculous Diplomacy

Embassies of the entente allies II their efforts to
end the career Of the GeTmauS commerce submarine
Deutschland have set before the American state depart
ment the ridiculous contention that the submarine IS
potentially warship, though designed andused as
a merchant ship.
Just how nonsensieal is that assertion may be eomPre
hended when considers that the same view holds
good regarding any ship transatlantic liner may be
converted into armed cruiser troop transport
schooner mayta rapid fire guns and small
non and wage war against submarines scout craft.
A fishing trawler may be given such arms she
accommodate and perform patrol duty. Many British
ship formerly engaged in passenger merchant service
warshE entitled to be sunk when encountered
by a belligerent
Yet Great Britain would be loud in her protests
the United States declare British ships now
in American ports potential warships merely because
they may be converted into warships tomorrow
day after.
In the feat Of the Deutschland, Germany has out
itted the enemy and pierced the blockade though is
scarcely broken The ISugh is Great Britain and her
incompatible navy The ruler Of the will do well
not to display petty irritation but accept the situa-
ton with smile and hope TO get the better Of German
ingenuity and daring next time

The Depth of the Silo

A silo should be not less than
thirty feet deep, because the
greater the depth the heavier the
downward pressure, resulting in
a more efficient expulsion of air
from between the particles Of
cut corn or other forage. AS
the completeness with which the
air is excluded determines the
keeping quality of the silage,
depth is necessary. Furthur
than this, the greater the down.
ward pressure the greater the
amount of silage can be stored in
a cubic foot of space. Equally
important is the fact that siIage
capacity gained in depth rather
than diameter makes it possible
for a greater depth Of top sur
face to be fed off daily. Silage
exposed to the air for two or
three days begins to mold and
spoil, and for satisfactory results
one and one-fourth to three
inches, according to climatic con-
ditions should be fed off the top
each day.
Tie feeding surface in the silo
should be about five square feet
for every COW in the herd. Thus,
for herd of thirty cows $50
square feet of feeding surface or
a silo fourteen feet in diameter
will be necessary; for forty cows,
200 square feet, or a diameter of
sixteen feet; and a herd of fifty
cows, $50 square feet, or an in
side diameter Of eighteen feet.
Many have made the mistake Of
building silos with too large a
diameter and have experienced
considerable loss by not feeding
a sufficient amount from the top
each day to prevent molding.
Better results are gained from
two small silos rather than one
extremely large one, providing
they are properly filled. The
depth necessary for the silo can
be readily obtained. For instance,
if two inches are to be fed off
each day, 1SO days feeding would
reqire 800 inches or thirty feet in
depth.

Should Boost The Butte

E. M. Ehrhardt and family and
two or three other auto loads of
Lewiston people spent Sunday on
the top of Cottonwood Butte en-
joying the cool atmosphere and
one of the finest scenic views
in the entire country. From the
top of the butte can, be seen all
of Camas and Nezperce prairies,
the Bitter Root mountains east
to the Montana line, the Seven
Devils to the south, most of east
,ern Oregon to the west and well
into the Palouse country to the
north. Parts of three states can
be seen from this elevation and
even the far famed Columbia
Highway does not produce any,
thing finer in the way of scenic
beauty. With a small expense a
good road could be opened to the
top of the butte and, with small
publicity, this could be made an
attractive side trip for tourists
passing through this part of the
state.

Parker Files For State Office

Upon the urgent solicitation of
a number of the leading demo-
Gratis from Boise the nomination
of Ernest L. Parker, Of this place,
was filed Monday for the Office of
lieutenant governor on the demo-
cratic ticket, the nomination
papers being signed and forward
ed to Boise by the editor of this
paper. Mr.. Parker was a candi-
date for this Office two years ago
and ran far ahead of his ticket
but it was republican year and
Governor Alexander was the
only democrat who weathered
the storm.
Mr.. Parker is we'll and favor
bly, known all over the state,
having been a member of the
state legislature for several
terms, and is well fitted for the
Office to which he aspires. That
he will carry a heavy vote from
the northern counties where he
is best known goes without say
ing and his friends hope he will
carry the state by a handsome
majority next November.

Contract Let For Flour Mill

The contract for the new flour
mill building and elevator to be
erected for the Cottonwood Mill
ing & Elevator company was
awarded this week to the Burrell
Engineering company of Chicago,
which has the contracts for
erecting several elevators at
different points on Camas and
Nezperce prairies this summer
for the various farmers union
locals, and Manager John Meyer
left last night for Walla Walla to
pass upon the plans and enable
the company to get into actual
operation at the earliest possible
date.
The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the mill building with
in thirty days and material is
now being delivered on the site
for the construction of the con-
crete foundation for the build
ings. The elevator will be 85
feet in height, over all, and will
be of $4,000 bushels capacity,
while the mill will have a daily
capacity of from 100 to 125 bar
rels of flour. The new machin-
cry needed to bring the mill up
to its increased capacity and
make Of it one of the best mills
in the Inland Empire, has been
ordered and will be received in
time to install as soon as the
building is ready to receive it.
The elevator will be construct
ed so that any bin can be emptied.
from the lower floor and will be
strickly modern in every respect.
The buildings are to be con-
structed of first class material
and when finished will be a credit
to the town and community.
Conditions around the mill will
be as sanitary as it is possible
for same to be made and nothing
but the milling and elevator
business will be carried on at that
location, the hog yards and re-
ceiving and shipping stations
being kept entirely separate from
the mill property.
Delivery of lumber for the two
buildings will commence as soon
as Mr.. Meyer returns from
Walla Walla, all of the material
going into the buildings having
been secured from the local mills
and lumber yards.

that their feed is hardly noticed.

SOUTH IDAHO
BUILDS ROADS
Southern Counties Secure
Large Sums From State
Highway Commission for
Road Improvements.

In order to show how the coun-
ties in southern Idaho are taking
advantage of the opportunity af-
forded them to secure aid from
the state highway commission in
the building of roads the follow
ing report of the commission may
be of interest to our readers at
this time:
The annual report of the Idaho
state highway commission which
has just been compiled by Secre-
tary of State George R. Barker,
its secretary, with the assistance
of the state highway engineers
department, shows the financial
condition of the commission and
the work that has been done on
the state highways over the state.
The report is up to June /, 1916.
Auto licenses collected up to that
date amount to $124, ,283.07. The
only bond issue shown was for
5000, 1000. The receipts from the
various counties amount to $685.
891.47, while there was refunded
on warrants $700.21, making the
total receipts $67O, O,874.74.
The expenditures, of the COM
mission total $74O, 786. 10. Of
claims approved by the commits
sion, there remain unpaid a total
of SIG, $685. The balance in the
highway fund is $6,692.O8. The
total expenditures for the high
way department amounts to
SIG, 637.24; for the, engineers
'ofice, 500, 1886. II; field equipment
So, 12O, 13; preliminary and locat-
ing surveys, $35, 1877. "; construc-
ton expenses, $694, 399.57. The
last claim does not include SO, 323
paid by the state to Twin Falls
county, as one-third the cost of
the Rock Creek bridge. It does
include some construction esti-
mates for work done on the state
highways, payment for which
was made directly to the con-
tractors by the counties. It is
estimated the expenditures for
the department from June 1,
1916, to December 81, 1916, will
amount to $39, 200.
By counties the following total
expenditure is shown to have
been made for roads, bridges,
