MUNITIONS SENT

Idaho People Get Glimpse
Of Magnitude Of Euro

Trainloads Of munitions of war are
passing over Idaho soil on transconti-
mental roads, the munitions ia be used
by the allies in the present conflict.
All railroads lead to Europe these days

locally slight glimpse OF the magnl-
tude Of the business Of waging war
For weeks the freight traffic over the
transcontinental lines passing through
Standpoint has been steadily on the In
crease until the roads have reached a
near capacity business, and largely due
to the increasing transportation Of war
munitions. One day last week IS
freight trains passed through the city
over the Northern Pacific road alone.
This, considering the extreme length 81
the trains now hauled, is believed to be
a record breaker for the road. Where

Atlantic boat lines are not adequate to

GOOD ADVICE TO
REPUBLICANS OF
SOUTH BY BORAR
Tells Party Leaders They
Must Get Away From the
Charge That Patronage
Alone Rules.

In a letter to a Republican club at
Atlanta, Ga, Senator Borah of this
state reiterates that he is not ana will
not be a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination. An article
appearing in the Washington Post
contains this reiteration. The article
is in part as follows:
In response to the request Of the
club for a sentiment that could be
read to the membership, Mr.. Borah
supplied It in the shape of some very
wholesome advice concerning the Sc
lection OF delegates, and criticism of
certain practices INDUCED in by coll
ored Republican politicians Of the
south in the past. The text of the let
ter, written to w. Herman Lee, secre-
tary of the club, is as follows;
II have your letter making inquiry
as to whether | am candidate for the
Republican nomination. am not a
candidate for the nomination to the
presidency and do not expect to be.
Il am deeply interested, however,
in tho matter about which you write,
and that is the selection of delegates
to the national convention.
Partys Usefulness at Stake.
THE Republicans have not held a
more important convention for many
years than this one will be in 1916. and
delegates ought to be selected who will
bear in mind that the action OF this
convention may determine very largely
not only the question of success or
failure at the next election, Lut the
question Of the future usefulness OF the
Republican party itself.
THE south has long labored under
the charge that the delegates from that
portion Of ths country are selected
without much regard to anything other
than that OF securing patronage.
THE charge is already being made,
apparently with some justification, that
the deal is on to gather up the dele
gates Of the south. through pledges and
promises Of a proper distribution of
patronage.
ut is up to the south to get free of
this charge. It can only do so by Sc
lecting candidates whose standing and
character win be a refutation of this
Indictment.
Il feel sure that II the young men Of
the south take hold of this matter
they can accomplish this They can
render no greater service to their party
to southern Republicanism and to the
country than by doing this.
Ban on Old Practices.
ut ought to be pretty well under
stood and pretty we'll accepted by this
time that the Republican party will
never again submit to some Of the
practices which have dishonored and
disgraeed its handling Of delegates in
the past.
If any such practices are attempt
cd In the future it will convince thou
sands and thousands of the people Of
| this country that there is no redemp-
ton from the old practices, and thai
might mean the end of the usefulness
Of the Republican party"

FOR PROTECTION OF
WHITE Pine FORESTS

The United States department Of ag-
riculture, through the federal horticul-
tural board, has sent to all eastern
nurserymen an urgent request not to
ship white pines, currants and goose
berries west OF North Dakota, South
Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
This action has been taken in order to
protect the white pine forests of the
west from the white pine blister rust
without, if possible, the imposition of
a burdensome plant quarantine. At a
| conservative estimate, the value OF the
government and private holdings in
these forests is s240,0c0.000. They
would be in serious danger II the white
pine blister rust, which has now gain
ed foothold in six eastern states and
is suspected in the Ohio valley, should
spread to the Rocky mountains. Goose
berries and enrrants are included in
the departments request because they
can carry the disease as well as the
white pine itself.
Warning TO Western States.
At the same time. the department has
issued warning to the states within
| the range OF the western white pines.
OF the danger of allowing nursery stock
OF these three kinds, from eastern nur-
series, to enter their territory. In
spectors of all western states have
been asked to notify the federal horti-
cultural board of any shipments from
points east of the states named. The
reason for this action Is that the white
pine blister rust a very destructive
disease to all white pines. occurs also
/ in a different form. as a leaf disease
on currants and gooseberries. These
two plants, therefore, may carry the
disease to new regions and infect To-
cal white pine. Like citrus canker
/ and chestnut blight the white pine
blister rust was brought to this country
on imported nursery stock, before the
passage of the federal plant quaran-
time act.
The department, in its letter to nur-
serymen, points out that II no. ship
ments Of these plants are made from
Infected or suspected trritory into the
west, further action may be unneces-
sary. II, however. nurserymen ignore
this request, It is practically certain
| that at an early date a federal quar-
antine. which will prohibit the inter-
state movement OF these plants rom
the infected states, will have to be es-
tablished. :

Economies Specialist Of the Vermont

give series of demonstrations and
lectures before the smaller federation

Of Food Selection is intended to ex-
plain the fundamentals of food re-
quirements Of the body, how various
foods meet these requirements, what
constitutes true economy in choice OF
foods and how preparation affects food
value. As an alternative a demon
stration on Seasonable Dishes for
Spring Menus is offered. The latter
not only brings out clearly the things
taken up in the discussion, but empha-
sizes some Of the ways in which diet
may be made to replace the customary
