DESPITE DEFEATS

FIVE DIVISIONS EMPLOYED BY
GERMANS IN ATTACK.
Begin Wearing Down Tactics, Using
Dense Masses of Infantry in Verdun
Assault.

PARIS.-After six days rest while
electives were made up and stocks OIL
ammunition replenished, the Germans
again have begun concentrated attacks
upon different points of the French
defenses at Verdun.
They now are trying the effect OF
direct wearing tactics, employing
dense masses of infantry in small
spaces, but so far with little success.
The net result of their efforts has
been the gain of a small salient west
of Douaumont, which, the French
claim, is unimportant.
Yesterday the attack between Dou-
aumont and the Mouse was very vio-
lent. The German forces included
troops from five different divisions.
East of the Chauffeur salient, the
Germans penetrated a front line
trench, but were partly eiecte1.
This information was contained in
the French official report given out
this afternoon, the text of which roll
lows:
"On the left bank of the Mouse there
has been a bombardment of our flrs'
line positions between lie Morte HON
me and Cumieres. On the right bank
of the river, the night passed in rela-
tive quiet
at has been confirmed that the Ger
man attack delivered yesterday be-
tween the Mouse and the Douaumoni
region took on a character of extreme
violence. Further information is tha
this offensive action was conducted by
troops belonging to five different di
visions.
"In the east salient of the Chauffeur
wood the enemy penetrated our frs
line trench, but from this position he
was in part driven out by counter
attack.
"In the Woevre there has been al
artillery duel in the sector of Moulaln
Vile. A German reconnaissance whicl
was endeavoring to approach tn
trenches in the direction of the Her
manpere, northeast of st. Die, was re
pulsed with hand grenades.

COUNCILMEN BUSY ON
PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT
Problems Involved in City Hall and
Water Matters Engrossing Their
Attention.

The mayor and members of the city
council are not devoting all of their
scanty spare time to paying attention
to the doings of the big convention
this week, but are busily engaged in
endeavoring to select the proper ex-
pert from whom to receive advice in
regard to the best water system, and
at the same time laying plans for
arousing public attention to the con-
templated bond election for the city
hall. Councilman Bracken, who made
the motion to push the city hall pro-
position announces himself in favor of
public meeting where the people
will thresh out some of the points of
difference. Some of the members of
the council think that this would re-
quire the securing of larger hall
than the present council chamber,
while others think that a meeting
which would comfortably fill the pre-
sent chamber is all that could be ex-
pected as they assume that relatively
few would turn out.
On both the waterworks and the city
hall propositions, there will probably
be considerable divergence of opinion,
if the talk on the streets go for any
thing. The difference with reference
to the city hall will probably be chief
ly in regard to the placing of the Ii
brary in the public building. Those
who oppose this favor the erection of
Carnagie library soon, and declare
that they regard the placing of the
library in the city building as an indie
finite postponement of the realization
of their hopes. Those who favor the
putting of the library in the city build
ing are divided into two classes, one
of which opposes the Carnegie library
plan and the other of which favors the
ultimate installmens of the Carnage
library but believe that temporarily
the city library should be placed in
the public building until such time as
the needs of the growing city should
demand the use of the library room
for other purposes.
The divergence of opinion in regard
to the proposed water system is rela-
tive to the respective merits of the
single as against the double system
The mayor and council themselves are
not wholly agreed on this, though al
express the opinion that a competent
expert may produce such irrefutable
arguments in favor of some certain
system as to bring about unanimity
of opinion. The idea is to learn from
experts just what data they will nee(
in order to formulate a complete re
port and then have local engineers de
the work of getting the data. The is

IDAHO HONEY SUPERIOR
TO THAT OF CALIFORNIA

PARMA, Gottfried Lohrii, the
proprietor of the Boswell apiary at
Parma, Idaho, who ships honey to Ore
gon and eastern points, receives daily
inquiries as to the processes involved
in producing such white honey. This,
he says, is due to the fact that it is
obtained by the bees from certain
kinds of flowers and must be worked
as it is thoroughly ripe. The candied
effect of the honey is due to its being
absolutely pure.
Honey purchasers are fond of the
candied product and provide a ready
market for it, The fact that honey
dealers in the east contract for Idaho
honey in large supplies, goes to show
that it stands high in favor in the
east.
Mr.. Lohrli was offered by an Ogden
wholesale firm, twice the price paid
for California honey because of its
superior quality.

POCATELlO WILL VISIT
TWIN FALLS LATER
Commercial Club POstpOnes Visit by
Special Train on Account of Repub-
lican Convention.

POCATELLO, Ida.-There was no
special train of the Commercial club
to Twin Falls Wednesday, as planned
1t was figured that Twin Falls peo-
pie, as well as the visitors, would be
too occupied with the affairs of the
Republican state convention. 1t was
thought better to postpone the excur-
ion until midsummer, when other af-
fairs are off the docket, crops are
growing and everybody feeling good
over the situation. The trip at that
time will be undertaken on a much
larger scale, and there will be nothing
to confuse the situation.
The membership last night was
practically unanimous in the decision
to temporarily postpone the excursion
until the political conventions were
out Of the way, and to push every
effort to provide for a more thorough
and more elaborate excursion when
the project is resumed.

PLENTY OF WATER ASSURED BY COM
PLETION OF JACKSON LAKE RESERVOIR
(From Burley Bulletin. J

THE work of raising the dam for
the enlargement of the Jackson
lake reservoir is nearing compile
ton. This work has been paid for by
the Twin Falls North Side and Twin
Falls South Side irrigation companies,
and has been done under the direction
of the United States reclamation
service.
The reservoir as it stood before the
dam was raised held 100000 acre feet
of water, which belonged to the Mini
doka project. The enlargement will
add to this capacity 10000 acre feet,
giving the reservoir a total capaciay
of $4,000 acre feet, and making it
one of the largest storage reservoirs
in the world. OF the 1890 acre feet

BETTER MEANS OF RIVER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The rivers
and harbors bill has been passed by
the House of Representatives author
izing the survey of the Snake river
from its mouth to Pittsburg landing
with the view of the construction OF
locks and dams for navigation. The
bill appropriates over $4,000 to be
used in the work on the Snake and
Columbia rivers.

additional now to be stored in Jackson
lake, 100000 acre feet will go to the
Twin Falls North Side and 100000 to
the Twin Falls South Side project.
However, during the present season
only about half the above amount Will
be stored and available for these two
sections.
AS the Minidoka project has hereto
fore sold her surplus water to the two
Twin Falls companies, it is now neces-
sary for her to look elsewhere for a
market.
The unusually heavy snowfall in the
mountains the past winter promises
an abundance of water for all lands
along the Snake river this season.

4 GOOD WORD FOR CORN.

A large percentage of the rich
est land in this country IS devoted
to the growing of corn. The
most prosperous American farm
ers are those who spend
considerable time improving the
quality and increasing the yield
of this typically American crop
But when we hear some men say
that corn has ruined certain breeds
of hogs, and other men call atten
ton to the fact that their pork
was eEpduced without corn, we
begin 70 wonder why corn ever
came to be a three billion bushel
crop, and why the price has gone
to more than a dollar a bushel.
Corn has reached it's present
popularity because iU is exceeding
Iy well adapted to a big section
and because it is wonderfully eff
ticient feed. 1t is such a good
meat producer that a good many
livestock producers and feeders
got the idea that corn would do
the trick alone, without the neces-
sity of any brain work ON their
part.
And that's why few people
now are ashamed TO say that their
meat products were made from
corn.
The trouble is not with corn
1t is still the best meat producer
we have. The feeder needs 10
know what to feed with it, SO hogs
and cattle can make use of even
more corn 1t is the greatest
American crop and needs DO apo
logy-even when the price is only
half what it is nOw.-The Country
Gentleman. \

OLDEST CHRISTMAS
CUSTOM,
Decorating Houses, Churches
and Streets With Ever
green Popular Since
Dawn of History.

Perhaps The very oldest of al
| Christmas customs is that of de
c0rating our houses, churches anC
streets with evergreens AT th'
very dawn of history began th,
worship of the trees, OF foresl
worship, and the groves were
mans FIRST temples.
All our Instincts, our passion
about nature, are forest memories,
for forest worship was universal.
In later times to each god some
tree was dedicated: Apollo had
the laurel, Jupiter the oak, aud
Greece for ages bad its sacred
groves.
The forest worshIpers could not
worship without giving, because
to worship is to give, and these
boughs and gariands were The old
est gifts Of man. Before be had
learned to shape offerings Of his
own rude skill he could bring to
the sacred trees and hang up on
them the first flowers and greenery
OF spring and lhe perfect fruit of
autumn.
These gifts, remember, were
never, as with us, decorations;
they were sacrifices.
The Romans, with fine eye for
beauty, used to garland their TEN
pies aud homes and gathering
places and even the big Coliseum
with bOughs of e gteen aud ropes of
flowers This particular custom
was received by the Christians
With special sort of approval,
recalling, ds il did, the fact that
our Lord entered Jerusalem amid
The strewn branches Of the multi.
Jude.
We must NOT forget the welcome
and lovely mIstletoe and holly
Indeed, Christmas without them
would MOI, with US, seem quite
complete.
Mls.letoe was for ages regarded |
as sacred by the old British pa
gans-the Druids-and was sur !
rounded with great mystery and
sentiment, little understood 10y us.
1t was supposed to possess heal
ing powers and that it could ward
off evil spirits. The reverence
paid TO this little parasite seems
to have been restricted TO 1t, only,
when it was found growing on the
sacred oak trees in the DruIds'
groves.
Once every year the Druid high
priest cut ii with golden sickle,
blessed it and distributed the
sprays among the people, praying
aloud that each one who received
it might receive divine blessings,
Of which it was the symbol. Hav
ing received the sprays, the peO
pie hung them above the doors to
the gods during the
year
The only remaining Significance
attached today to the mistletoe is
The idea if maiden is not kissed
lnder it on Christmas day she Will
20 uDwed throughout the year
rhis idea goes so far back into the
past that one cannot trace it.
It is because the mistletoe il
are and not easy TO get that we
'ound and brought forward the
holly, which, though lovely, is
lsed only as substitute for the
New York World. II

CHIHUAHUA CITY PAPER PRINTS
FIRST STORY OF T. RS RE-
VOLT AGAINST WILSON

Ell Paso, Texas, November 20 -
Roosevelt has started a revolution
against President Wilson, according
to dispatch printed in Eel Democratic
the leading newspaper of Chihuahua
City, which. however, qualified the re-
port by printing a question mark in
the heading.
The dispatch, which appears in the
issue Of the 22d of this month, is
placed under a Mexico City date. II
reads as follows:
Alarming rumors have been circu-
lating In this city which say that Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt heads a rev.
olution that has broken out in severa
states of the American Union, with the
object of overthrowing President Will
son, who, Roosevelt claims, authorized
various electoral frauds in order &c
triumph in the past election.
High officials in this city and some
of the diplomas state with confidence
that this rumor Is a canard of the
American yellow press, which is hos
tile to Wilson. The American Ambas-
sadoE already telegraphed to Washing
ton In order to inform himself as to
the truth of the report"
