get the knitted bands and ordered same

by getting in such large quantity we
got specially good price. We ordered
everything wholesale. Five hundred
bars of soap were donated, which
brought the average cost per bar to
only two cents. We gave every man
exactly the same articles, the good

OUT FROM ELK.

OUT FROM ELK.
G.. l.. l.. Basket, the Elk City drug
gist and mining man, passed through
Grangeville Monday enroute to Spokane
where he had been on business. Mr..
Basket states he found more than
ordinary interest ON the outside re-
garding the mining business in Idaho
county and a number of properties are
about to become active in this section.
He states he is thoroughly in accord
with the movement for better roads in
Idaho county and reflects the feeling
of the community from which he comes
in that regard. Good roads look now
as though they were a near possibility,
the united effort of the part of the
local people and the government aid
which will soon be available making
such an assertion one based on weight
at this time. In referring to the re-
cent earthquake shocks in the noun
tain country in and around Elk. Mr..
Basket stated they have experienced
number of tremors in there in the
past and each time they seem to be
growing a little more severe, at one
| time being so noticeable as to close
doors, etc all of which makes the peo-
pie speculate little as to the cause as
well as the severeness that can be ex-
pected in the future.

BOARD MEMBERS OPPOSE
BUYING ELECTRIC CURRENT
Proposition Made by Power Compnny
IN referred to Superintendent
TrnNOrd, of City I'Innt

with tho majority Of It's members
opposing in Its present form tho offer
or the Virginia Railway and Power
Company TO sell the city electric cur
rent. the Administrative Board yester-
day referred to superintendent Il. w.
Trafford. of tho Electrical DEPARTING
the proposition for his recomm cnia-
tons. The offer of the traction COM
pnny Is to furnish tho city current in
emergencies OIL am exchange basis
Two members of the board gave par
tial approval of the offer, thinking
they said. that II would save the city
In that 1T would secure current re-
CURED for street lighting at an OK
cecdingly low price. Other members
of the board saw. in clause that re-
CURED the city 10 purchase all cleo
tricity 1t required other than was now
produced by it's splant from it. IL fear
that 1t would be impossible under this
contract to enlarge the municipal
plant for future needs.
The municipal plant has practically
no demand on IL for power during tho
day. the peak of its load being at
night for street lighting, resulting in
n considerable loss in all the current
that Is produced in the day. On tho
other hand. the greatest demand is
made on the Virginia Railway and
Power Company in the day. supplying
power for its street railway system
and commercial houses. which is prac-
y.
this reason, an exchange of current was
suggested.
The proposition of the Virginia Rail
way and Power Company is to furnish
the city current that may be needed
beyond the capacity of its generating
equipment. or 20 meet any emergency
that might arise from n "brea kdown"
at the plant, inSurinE full service
at all times. The company agrees to
sell the city the energy at the rate Of
3.5 mills, and to purchase from tho
city at tho same rate, building It's own
transmission line between the two
plants
The company stated that the rates
stated are recognized to he commcrci
ally impractiCable, but we have taken
into consideration the fact that much
of tho current used during that portion
Of the night. when the water of this
company is going to waste, and in n
like manner the water OF the city

MEAT HARD TO OBTAIN

Several Things Responsible for Com

HEAVY DEMANDS BY ARMY
Government Discourngcs Slaughter
of Animals Before Fattening Pro-
cess Gives Them Their Maximum

BERLIN. May 16 Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-For the first
time since the outbreak of the war
meat is hard to obtain in the capital,
and larger cities of the German en-
pire Meat lines" have grown as long
as the .'buttcr and milk lines" and
those forming them must sometimes
wait for hours before they can procure
the quota allotted by their cards
Responsible for this condition are
the heavy demands made upon the
meat supply by the army, an almost
total cessation of imports, and the gov
ernments new policy of discouraging
the Strengthening of meat animals be-
fore fattening has given them their
maximum butcher weight. Cattle own
crs have recently shown a tendency to
Keep stock from the market because
the maximum price arrangement has
left them little profit.
On the necessity of feeding meat an
imals TO the limit of meat, and fat
production, the government and the
owners Of stock are one. Both saw
that q check in butchering now will
add in about three months from 90 to
20 per cent to the available meat
supply. y fine stand of grass on
meadow and pasture and the arrival
" corn from ROumania
arc counted upon to produce this i'm
provement
Prospects for a good pork produc-
ton are said to be excellent Last
fall the pork WIS poor in quality and
quantity. In the winter of 19l4-l5 the
government. realizing that there would
be shortage in foodstuffs. advised
that all pigs in good condition be
slaughtered and their meat preserved
This was done, but In many cases the
meat was so poorly cured, owing to n
lack of competent help, that ii spoiled
an effort has been made to bring
approaching normal proportions. The
question now is whether 1t will be
possible to obtain the foodstuffs neces-
sary to bring this years animals TO
good weight. a good potato crop
would greatly facilitate this, as would
also more Indian corn from Roumania
which it Is believed can he obtained
While this years corn crop would
hardly influence the pork situation in
Germany. il is the intention to give
all Of the present purchases to pork
producers and distribute the new con-
tracts among other stock owners
An Improvement in the pork mar
ket would also ease the shortage of
fat in the empire. which is felt al
most moro than the shortage of meat
The necessity for an ample supply OF
animal fat has never been felt so by
the people as by the Germans at pres
Ont, especially since the production OF
butter fell TO almost nothing during
the winter
