PROGRESS MADE BY THE ALLIES
Austrians Driven Back; Germans
Defeated on the SOmme
River Front

During the week the Russians
have been very active in Galicia, hav-
ing attacked and taken Halicz after
a severe bombardment. In south
eastern Rumania the Russian and
Rumanian troops checked Bulgar-
ian drive, and the Rumanians seized
and held half a dozen towns in
Pennsylvania.
The French and English have
maintained a steady attack in the
Somme region, with the result that
several villages have fallen to them,
and many fierce counter attacks by
the Teutons repulsed. The last sue
cess was the taking of German
front line trench and 1,500 prison.
ers near Combles. They also took
part of a road north Of Peronne and
so are threatening the German line
of communication between Peronne
and the north.
The British took the offensive in
northwestern Macedonia, crossed the
Struma river about 40 miles north
east of Salonika, and the Serbians
also have made heavy attack upon
the Bulgarians from their side.
Reports from Rome say the ltal-
ians have successfully held positions
taken from the Austrians in Tren-
tinO.

TRIUMPH
IN MAINE ELECTION
Elect Governor, Two Senators and
-Four Congressman and Con-
troll State Legislature

The state of Maine was claimed by
both parties, and both admitted it
would be an index as to the general
strength of the parties for the whole
country. The election results Mon
day give the Republican party a
great victory. Their governor led his
Democratic opponent by $4,000
votes. They elected two senator's
and four congressman, besides secur-
ing control Of the state legislature.
The Moose party Joined forces with
their former party men in gaining
this big success.
A determined fight was made by
both parties, and Republican and
Democratic speakers of national note
were brought to stump the state.
The vote was heavy, as had been ex-
pected. For the first time the two
United States senators were elected
by popular vote and the Republicans
made a determined effort to win the
one seat in the senate and the single
seat in the house of representatives
held by Maine Democrats.

ADVANCING ADVERTISING RATES

On the first of October The Idaho
Republican will announce new and
higher rate for advertising service
to conform to it's increased circula-
tion and the sharp advance in the
cost of paper and other printing ma
teSials. The printing business is
facing crisis such as has never be-
fore affected publishers, and it is
expected that large number of
newspapers will supsend within the
next few months. The papers that
are likely to be hit hardest are that
class that have a low rate of sub
scription and low advertising rates,
and whose management is not par
ticular about collecting the subscrip-
tion annually, but just keeps sending
the publication from year to year
and collect in lump sums at irregu-
lar intervals. 1t is predicted that
these people will simply wake up
broke and the collections will be put
in the hands of attorneys to get what
they can out of the wreck, and they
will push hard for collections on old
subscription accounts. The up-to-date
papers that keep their business we'll

and to gain in circulation and pres
tige because of the fact that they do
business on approved methods.
The paper famine is the subject for
a congressional investigation, and
congress is SO slow to act, that it
will probably be six months before
they get information as to what is
the matter, and then another period
for applying the remedy, guessing
the while at what effect it will have.
In the meantime many publishing
houses that have been paying profit
of only or per cent on the capital
invested, and now with a general
rise of about 20 per cent in the cost
of materials, must choose between
losing money indefinitely or raising
their prices and receiving less busi-
ness or suspending.

as fast as the development of the
country warranted it. He showed
further how the Shelley country had
been under consideration as site
favorable for a facory and explained
further how the site had finally been
agreed upon.
Pres. Heber Austin was followed
by his brother, Mark Austin, of Rex
burg, general superintendent of the
sugar factory at Sugar City, who fol-
lowed Heber at some length. He re-
ferred to the good feelings existing
between the sugar company and the
beet growers of the Snake river val
ley and hoped they would continue.
He, too referred to the splendid posi-
bilities of the Snake river valley from
the standpoint of beet growing and
predicted a wonderful future for the
industry. He briefly reviewed the
history of beet growing in other parts
of the west as well as in the Snake
river valley.
Other speakers who followed Pres.
Austin were Peter G.. Johnston, Of
Blackfoot; President Joseph H. Dye,
of Basalt; DR.. Cutler, of Shelley,
speaking in behalf of the village
council; and others. The remarks of
the speakers were well received by
the people and a genial spirit of good
fellowship prevailed. 1t was evident
that the best of feelings existed be-
tween the farmers and the Utah-Ida-
no Sugar company and the hope was
expressed that they would always
continue to the mutual advantage of
both.
At the conclusion of the speaking
the Shelley band still further en-
livened the occasion and it's playing
as we'll as the speaking brought forth
hearty round of hand clapping.
When the band ceased playing the
first furrow was plowed preparatory
Tor the foundation and Mr.. Hubble,
the gentleman from whom the land
was purchased, had the honor OF
holding the plow.
The closing number was the giving
of three rousing cheers for the Utah
Idaho Sugar company and with hats
and caps waving in the air they were
given most heartily and the celebra-
ton was over.-Contributed.

McCRACKEN FAMILY HERE

Congressman r. M. McCracken ar.
rived from Washington, Friday even
ing, accompanying the remains Of
his son who died a few months ago
The body had been resting in a
mausoleum in the capital city unit
the family should come to the ole
home, and it was placed in it's final
resting place in the Grove City GENE
terry, Saturday.
Mrs. McCracken and the children
had been here for the past three
weeks visiting with her people, the
Ezell family, and they all left for
Boise on Monday afternoon where the
children will enter school.
Mr.. McCracken's term of office ex-
pires the fourth of March, 1917, and
he will then reopen his law office
in Boise. His work in Washington
has given him an acquaintance with
men and methods and with the de-
partments that he feels will be worth
a great deal to him in his work as
a lawyer, especially in view Of the
fact that Idaho is state having
much public lands yet to dispose Of,
and the study he has given to SUCH
matters will enable him to cope sue
cessfully with that kind of problems.
Mr.. McCracken was not one Of the
winning candidates in the recent pri-
mary and yet he feels good over the
contest. He remained at his post
of duty and such campaigning as he
did was conducted by mail and by
advertising and thru the kind friends
who worked for him. He says he
feels very grateful for the vote he
received. and especially grateful for
the heavy vote he received in Bing-
ham county.
In speaking of his term in the
house of representatives and his stay
in Washington, Mr.. McCracken said
it had been very pleasant period
for him, like a double term in big
popular school where he had unusual
opportunities for meeting people and
for seeing and keeping in touch with
the big events of history-making
period. He was glad to have that
schooling and is already looking for
ward with pleasant anticipations to
the task of rebuilding his practice on
better and broader basis than be-
fore. The loss of his son, Fred,
he said, had cast a shadow over his
memories of Washington, and was a
blow that he would always feel the
weight of.

UTAH-IDAHO SUGAR
FACTORY AT SHELLEY

A very interesting incident occurred
on Wednesday evening about mile
south of Shelley. This was the break
ing of ground for the proposed sugar
factory to be built by the Utah-ldaho
Sugar company. About p. m. the
people began gathering from far and
near until there was splendid at
tendance to witness the celebration
incident to the occasion. At the
commencement of the exercises,
which were of an impromptu char
acter, there must have been fully so
automobiles besides number Of
buggies, all loaded with people deep
ly interested in the proceedings for
they realized what the erection Of
a large sugar factory meant to the
town of Shelley and all the surround
ing country. The site chosen by the
sugar company is ideally located and
it was the cause of very much favor
able comment on the part of the peo-
pie present. 1t comprises some 1870
acres of land purchased from Mr..
Hubble.
When the time arrived for the ex-
ercises to begin Heber Austin, gen.
eral superintendent of the sugar fac
tory at Lincoln, stepped into an auto
mobile provided for the occasion and
in very neat speech stated the pur-
pose of the gathering. Among other
things he discussed briefly the sugar
industry in the Snake river valley.
The splendid possibilities of the
country from the standpoint of sugar
beet growing and of the desire of
the Utah daho Sugar company to do
it's share in the upbuilding Of the
country thru the building of factories

WALLIS SCORES AGAIN
Former Idaho Pure Food Commits.
siOner to Score Clean
Town Contest

SALT LAKE-James H. Wallis Of
this city has been employed by the
state board of health to score the
clean town contest being conducted
in Utah this year. Announcement to
that effect was made yesterday by
DR.. T. B. Beatty, secretary Of the
Board.
Mr.. Wallis did the scoring last year
and his work commended him to the
board of unemployment. He is con-
sidered one of the most experienced
health officers in the west and was
for several years at the head Of the
food and dairy inspection service in
Idaho, where he established record
for cleaning up a state that has been
the subject of considerable favorable
comment by eastern journals.
The scoring will be commenced at
once. Already some Of the work has
been done by G. Frank Emery, field
agent for the board. Mr.. Emery will
continue to cooperate with Mr.. Wal
lis in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

LIBRARY FILLING
WITH GOOD BOOKS
Public Spirited Citizens are Making
Donations of Money

The past few weeks have seen the
village library increased by the ad-
dltion of 100 books or more, and
enriched by donation of 500. j.
O. Morgan's name stands beside this
handsome amount on the record
books of the growing little library.
Others have expressed willingness
to give sums of money, if the ques-
tion were settled as to whether or
not the town will secure a Carnegie
free library. AS for present indica-
tions, it seems that the quarters be-
ing used in the City hall will become
inadequate soon, as the shelves are
rapidly filling out, and the capacity
of the two rooms is quite limited.
There are some 500 books now at the
disposal of the public, after two
months work by the ladies.
Board Meeting
The library board held meeting
at the home of Miss Edna Gillespie
last week, at which were present Mrs.
Dubois, vice chairman; Mrs. John G..
Brown, member at large for the P.
e. O. society; Mrs Neil F. Boyle and
Mrs. FRANKIE Harris. Plans were dis
cussed for the presentation of the
Carnegie matter to the city council.
The ladies are justifiably pleased with
the success of their efforts and with
the response that comes from the
public. 1t would seem an easy af-
fair to get enough money to main
tain Carnegie library, once it was
installed in the town free.
Book Benefit
Credit is increasingly due the
Kings Daughters and Mrs. w. A.
Lee for their work. The girls have
secured practically without assist
partment. They have raised money,
too, in sums that count, which was
all spent on books. Mrs. Lee has
been a tireless worker for the good
cause. The plans are now being
made for an entertainment to be
given by these girls at the high
school assembly hall to raise money
for more books.
Magazines
1t is the intention now to provide
a half dozen of the leading maga-
zines to be kept at the library for
public use.
A shelf of reference works on the
subject of sociology have been placed
by the owners at the service Of the
public, because in that field few
books had been donated. These books
are merely let out to the public as
a courtesy, pending the completion
of a full library equipment.
To show how hungry the young
boys and girls were for nice juvenile
books many incidents might be re-
lated. How one mother found that
it was no longer any trouble to get
her youngsters to go to bed at night,
when she promised to read to them
from the books they brought home
from the library, is but one. The
little folks were delighted to learn
that they could secure any of the
books in the whole place, for two
weeks, for nothing.
Friday Readings
Reading day was instantly popular
with the kiddies. Each Friday after
noon they appear at the library to
listen to the "story lady" Mrs.
Dubois, and they pack the rooms.
Their interest in joy to behold.

LARGEST CANTILEVER
BRIDGE COLLAPSED

The central span of the new bridge
being built across the st. Lawrence
river at Quebec, Canada, collapsed
Monday and fell into the river while
il was being hoisted into place by
hydraulic jacks. Ninety men were
on the span when it fell, and the
number killed is not determined.
Five bodies were recovered soon after
the accident, among them the chief
engineer, Mcmillan. The span had
been constructed on pontoons and
fioated into place, then 5000 hydrau-
lie jacks began to raise it few feet
an hour. 1t is feared the span will
never be recovered. This bridge,
when completed, will have the larg-
est cantilever suspension in the
world.
