WESTERN INDUSTRY
MOST SENSITIVE
Prosperity or Depression Affects
Western Lumber Industry First
Eastern Mills Outputs Almost Suf-
ficent for Normal Demand

SEATTLE, Nov. 17-"Prosperity in
the lumber industry of the nation will
profit the western manufacturer first
and greatest. Depression will hurt
him most and more seriously. The
trade extension movement of the lunl-
Der industry is therefore of greatest
importance to the men here in the
western part of the United States"
This was the analysis of numbering
conditions made by. R. B. Goodman
of Goodman, Wis, leader in the Mis-
sissippi valley hemlock and birch ad-
vertising campaigns. AS a lnmberman
convinced against his anticipations of
the value of advanced advertising and
promotion methods in the lumber in
dustry, he declared he had come west
to learn, and get advice, but also as a
witness to the success of advertising.
I'VE have tried advertising lumber
giving service to the consumer, and
have found that it works. IT it works
in our restricted fields, how much
better will it work out here in the west
with your enormous possibilities

President Asks Nation to "COntribute

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Pr esident
Wilson today issued to the people of
the United States the formal Thanks
giving Proclamation, fixing November

thanksgiving.
In his message to the people, Pres
ident Wilson said; Contribute from
your abundance of means to the relief
OF the inhabitants Of the belligerent
nations upon whom the curse and the
terror of war has pitilessly fallen.
1.-The year elapsing since we last OBJ
served Thanksgiving has been rich
in blessings to us, but the worlds
whole face has been darkened by war.
In the midst of our peace and happi-
ness, our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet on the struggles and suffer-
ings of the warning nations. We can
not consider our own happiness with
cut remembering their pitiful distress.
81 urge and advise the people of our
nation to go to places of worship and
render thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings of peace and unbroken pros
perity."

For the first time since the organ

An indication of this is the visit
today of Prof w. G. Hunter, instruc-
tor of agriculture in the Fort Lapwai
high school, with five of his students.
These students are entered in the
contest for h;gh-school teams at the
Northwest Livestock show at Lewis

PLURALITY OF sos
OVER DAVIS
Franklin and Ada Known to be For
Governor But Returns Not Of

BOISE, Nov. 1S.-On the the face
of the official canvass of 81 counties,
Governor Alexander's plurality over
D. w. Davis is 605.
All counties have certified to the Of
fetal canvass with the exception of
Franklin and Ada. The official vote is
known in those counties, but the COM
missioners have not yet certified as
to the result.
No possible contingency can arise
to change this result and all attempts
to count the republica gubernatorial
candidate into office have failed.
While republican headquarters
have not conceded Governor AleXand-
er's reelection, its claims have fallen
flat and they have little hope left on
which to base a claim.

CONSPIRACY CASE
In JURY'S HANDS
ARGUMENTS COMPLETED THIS AF.
TERNOON BEFORE u. s. COURT
JURORS
Government EndeaYOrs to Prove Lap
wal Men Intended to Hang
Federal POSSeman

Arguments in the case against the
five Lapwai residents charged with a
conspiracy to injure an officer while
performing his duty were heard before
the jury in Judge Dietrich's court this
morning. The case went to the jury
this afternoon.
The evidence in the case showed that
Harrison A. MINIS, federal posse
man engaged in suppressing the liquor
traffic on the Nez Perce Indian reserv
alton was the intended victim of mob
who had intended hanging him, after
considerable feeling had been wrought
up among the crowd by the shooting of
Fred A. Stevens by federal officer
named Hansen.
The United States has endeavored to
connect the defendants, Irve Shore,
George Weeks, Edwin Wheatcroft, ]. E.
Whittimore and Charles King, with the
alleged conspiracy to injure MINIS.
The lawyers for the defense, A. L.
Morgan, Clay McNamee and Frank
Butler, have endeavored to prove that
their clients had nothing to do with
the alleged conspiracy, and evidence
was introduced by several of the wit
nesses for the defense tending to dis
prove that any such action was con-
templated or spoken of by any one at
the time the trouble arose in hotel at
Lapwai where the wounded Fred Stew
ems was taken. Testimony on the part
of the governments witnesses con-
flicted squarely with the testimony OF |
the defense on this point.
