COUPONS FOR ALL OR NONE
This is Ruling of Treasury Depart
ment Regarding Premiums.

Washington, April 4.-Manufactur-
ers Of snuff, tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites face leaving out gift cards and
premium coupons altogether or put
ting them in all shipments, including
those to states which have passed
laws prohibiting the practice
The treasury department, in an or
der made public, holds that unless
such cards or coupons are included
in all shipments regardless of desti-
nation the practice comes within the
law forbidding lotteries, because con
sumers in localities where premiums
are omitted would not have the same
opportunity TO obtain valuable prizes
as those in more favored localities.

CALM PREVAILS
AROUND VERDUN
BeIligerentS Resting After
Severe Struggle.
BELIEVE ATTACK BEATEN

French Military Observers Say Last
German Offensive Was a Failure
and Teutons Have Reverted to Rela.
lively Small Assaults.
Paris, April 14.-Calm prevails in
the whole region OF Verdun, the Off
clal communication says. Prepara-
tions were made by Germans for an
attack on Hill 304. but the attack was
prevented by the French from being
carried into effect No other impor-
tant developments were reported al
the front.
The German general attack on the
left bank of the Meuse, which began
Sunday, is reported as beaten and the
Germans have reverted to relatively
small alternate strokes against the
French positions on both sides of the
river and to artillery operations.
The military observers point out
that General Petain has succeeded
with a minimum of wastage, in beat
ing off with heavy loss the adversary's
attack.
General Petain is said to be quite
satisfied as long as the Germans go on
losing three times as many men as
the French for unimportant results,
as he knows that he has ample re.

large scale when the opportune time

Carranza Note Sent
to Washington.
REQUEST TO Be IGNORED.
Pursuit Of Villa TO Continue for
Present at Least.

Washington, April 14.-General Car
embassy here for presentation to Sec
retary Lansing, asks for the withdraw.
al of American troops from Mexico.
Eliseo Arredondo, General Carran.
zas ambassador, expects to present
the note at the state department
shortly
1t raises a new issue in a situation
already much complexed, the out
come of which officials are reticent to
predict until they have gone over the
communication carefully and consid.
cred what reply the United States will
make.
In official quarters 1t was stated
that the American troops will not be
withdrawn, at this time at least, and
that while the question is being dis
cussed with General Carranza the
pursuit of the Villa bandits will be
rushed with renewed vigor
No Evidence of Disbursement.
Although General Carranza raised
side issues administration officials at
their first view of the communication
regarded the principal contention as
being that the object of the punitive
expedition has been accomplished SO
far as it can be and that the Villa
bands have been dispersed.
War department officials take the
view that they have no evidence that
the Villa bands have dispersed be
cause they never had definite informa
tion of their number and that the
very nature of the situation gives nc
evidence that the raiders have been
exterminated.
Counselor Polk confirmed the state
ment in the note that when he asked
for use Of the Mexican railways the
reply was satisfactory" but was
coupled with an expression of surprise
that the United States had not await
ed final approval of the pending pro
tocol before sending troops across the
border.

GUELPH.

B. Coyle, of Walla Walla, president
of the Guelph Mining & Milling COM
pany was in the city the first of the
week. He announced that orders had
been placed for machinery and sup
lies amounting to $4,000, and that the
company would begin at once on a

The Guelph joins the Hercules on the

vein. In discussing the plans of the
company, Mr.. Coyle said:
We have bought a five drill com
pressor and a hoist that will be eff

and an electric motor will be installed

feet has been attained by hand drill
ing. We expect to strike ore at the
2OO-foot point. The collar of the shaft
Is ESQ feet lower than the tunnel in
which considerable work was done.
Seven men are employed and two
shifts will be engaged throughout the
winter. Provisions for five months
nave been taken to camp. The prop
erty is comprised of 14O acres adioin

LAKES WITHOUT WATER.
Weird Scenes Appear in Crossing
These DesoIate Wastes.

A playa is shallow, flat floored
depression, characteristic of valleys
having no regular drainage to the sea,
in which storm waters collect and
evaporate. 1t may be a shallow lake
or a salt incrusted mud flat.
In his description of the ancient
Lake Lahontan in Nevada, l. c. Rus
sell writes:
THE scenery on the larger playas
is peculiar and is usually desolate in
the extreme but is not without its
charm. In. crossing these wastes the
traveller may ride for miles over a
perfectly level floor, with an unbroken
sky line before him and not an object
in sght to cast a shadow on the
ocean like expanse. Mirages, which
may be seen almost every day on the
heated deserts, give strange fanciful
forms to the mountains and some
times transfigure them beyond recog-
milton. A pack train crossing the
desert a few miles distant may APP
pear like some strange caravan cf
grotesque beasts fording a shallow
lake, the shores of which advance as
one rides away. The monotony of mid
day on the desert is thus broken by
elusive forms that are ever changing
and suggest a thousand fancies which
divert the attention from the fatigues
| of the journey. The cool evenings
and mornings in these arid regions,
when the purple shadows of distant
mountains are thrown across the
plain, have a charm that is unknown
beneath more humid skies and the
profound stiffness of the night in
these solltudes is always impressive"

CLEARWATER PLACER.
Wallace Miner Returns After a Sea-
son of Preliminary Work.

son OF Freilminary WORK.
Jack DIETRICH, John Tibbits and Will
liam Layton returned a few days ago
from the Clearwater, where they had
been engaged for the last four and a
half months preparing for active work
on a valuable tract of placer ground
which they have on independence
creek, about mile and a half from
the old camp of Moose City. In con-
versation with Mr. DIETRICH, he said
that their main work this season was
building a comfortable cabin, digging
ground. This latter work proved high
ly satisfactory, upwards of twenty
holes being sunk and all showed good
pay. The average depth to bed rock
is about three and half feet. The
ground has a good slope with plenty
of dump room below. There Is enough
water to permit work all season, and it
is proposed to begin hydraulic mining
next spring. Mr.. DIETRICH displayed
a bottle containing coarse gold taken
from the prospect holes also black
sand that carries much gold.
A good trail is being built by the
forest service from Orofino to the pla-
Ger diggings, which will probably be
completed next year. At this time the
best route is by way of Rivulet Mont
ana, the distance from that point be-
ing So miles The distance to Orofino
is about 100 miles and is the natural
outlet to the district The forest SER
vice will put in telephone line next
year connecting the lookout station
on Moose mountain. and which will
afford telephone Connection for the pla-
Ger miners.

words. BY building two miles of road
which involves little or no expensive
rock work, in the opinion Of those who
have viewed the proposeds route, and
which would be constructed on uni
form per cent grade, while the pres
ent road is II per cent, the commits
sioners would have added link to the
transcontinental highway which would
make it open for travel more than two
months longer every year, and give
the towns of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict the benefit of direct connection
with a populous section which will
increase in Importance every year.
With such a showing as this, why did
the commissioners refuse to even con-
slider building this road? They are
seeking election on their record for
road work. They should explain why
they have ignored that section of the
county.
