METHODISTS WITH PRESIDENT
Approve Efforts to Keep Out of Eu-
ropes Inducements.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, April 30
Assurance that Methodists of the Unit
ed States were in sympathy with
President Wilson IS efforts to keep the
United States from becoming involved
in the European war was voiced here
today by Bishop Earl Cranston of
Washington, d. c. Bishop Cranston,
who will open tre 9th general con
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal
church here tomorrow, was addressing
preliminary service.
~ would assure the president of the
United States,' Bishop Cranston said,
"that whatever temporary backsliding
may happen when a few Methodists
here or yonder may fall under the spell
of a magnetic political leader, the great
body of our people are in full sympathy
with all of his patriotic and Christian
endeavors to keep this nation out of
the European embodiment.
"We Methodists do not believe it is
patriotic for few Americans to in
sist upon their technical right to travel
at sea in such time as this, for per
sonal reasons, at the risk of bringing
the horrors and desolations of war up
on millions of their follow Americans.

gether with another prisoner convicted

This is the outcome of the unfor-
tunate affair which occurred last week
in Grangeville. AS a result of matter

rather precarious state and an attach

TWO PRosPEcToRs BRING SOME
RICH SAMPLES OF WONDER
Full RICH GOLD ORE TO
KOOSKIA.

Kooskia is enjoying the thrills OF a
prospective mining excitement, caused
bv the arrival of two prospectors in
the city last week with some rich sam
nles of ore which were claimed to have
been found on the Middle Fork of the
Clearwater. The following is dis
patch sent to the Lewiston Tribune
Thursday of last week:
What may prove to be one OF the
richest strikes ever made in the mineral
belts of the northwest have been un-
covered and speedily recovered by
tbe discoverers, Smith and Ricketts,, on
the Middle Fork of the Clearwater
about Is miles above Kooskia.
It has long been a well-estabilshed
fact that a gold bearing lead extends
from the Elk City mining district via
pierce City to the headwaters of the
North Fork, distance of about lOt
miles: in fact, many believe that the
GOLD belt of the Goeur d'Alene country
on Pritchard creek, near Murray, Is
continuation of the same lode.
About a week ago w. E. Smith anc
Tom Ricketts,, who "just happened, Z
he prospecting together on a certain
day. are reported to have uncovered

ledge of the richest goldbearing quartz
even seen in this section. The repre-
sentative of the Tribune was permitted
to see small chipping of this blush
quartz, and the gold was plainly visible
to the naked eye, while under a glass
the entire lump appeared to be fairly
honey-combed with nuggets or apure
gold. 1t is free milling and what it
would yield in gold to the ton would
only be a guess-but $1,000 per ton
would undoubtedly be conservative
estimate.
The discoverers of the lode were ex-
ceedingly reticent concerning the exact
location of the ledge, and it is believed
by many that it is on decided land. The
men are now somewhere in that section
and are said to be looking for an ex'
tension of the ledge on government oi
unpatented land.

A. F. PARKER IN WALLACE.
Mr.. Parker Renewing Old Acquain-
tances of 80 Years Ago in that City.

A. F. Parker, who published the
Occur 'Alene Eagle at Eagle in 1884,
the first newspaper in the Occur d.
Alenes, came in from Grangeville where
he now lives. He will spend few days
in the district. Mr.. Parker says there
are few of the old landmarks left and
he saw few places along the railroad
that looked as they did 32 years ago
when he first took the old Evolution
trail for Prichard.
Mr.. Parker is meeting some of the
old timers. those who came to the Occur
d'Alenes during the days of gold, and
last night he spent few pleasant hours
reviving memories of the days when
Eagle was the metropolis of the Occur
d 'Alenes.
Mr. Parker is member of the State
Historical Society commission and also
member of the North and South High
way commission. He says twenty-five
convicts have started work on the high
way at White Bird, in Idaho county.
This, says Mr.. Parker, is the beginning
and the finish will be highway north
and south, that will unite the state and
be of material Importance to the
development of the whole of Idaho

Marksmanship of Members Improving
Under Direction of Capt. Kading-
Janasco 1st, Guthrie End, Fisher 3rd

Company "E' was out Mt target
practice Sunday on their rifle range at
the foot of the mountain, and the re-
suits among the members shows some
remarkable Improvement since target
practice has commenced. One notice.
able feature is the splendid spirit of
rivalry among the members of the COM
pany in an effort to land high score
and to bring the craftsmanship of the
members up to the highest. Captain
Kading is very we'll satisfied with the
showing the boys are making and is
helping the work along with plenty of
encouragement.
The score of the better marksmen at
200 yards, rapid fire, so shots, is as fol-
lows: j. j. Janasco, first, 46; "Spec"
Guthrie, second, A; Sam Rossiter, third,
40; Don Fisher, fourth, 40; Stanley
Smith, fifth, 81. Several others shot
with comparatively good records at this
distance. =.
At 800 yeards, j. j. Janasco had 81; j;
Guthrie 30, Rossiter 80, Don Fisher 80,
and Stanley Smith 30. The general
average is struck from the score at 200
and 800 yards and resulted in j. j,
Janasco having first place, "Spec'
Guthrie, second; and Don Fisher third.
There are five ranges and 10 shots are
fired at each range. At 200 yards tho
practice is rapid fire and 10 shots must
be fired in minute and half. At
At 300 yards 10 shots must be fired in
2 minutes. At 900 and 500 yards the
firing is at the same rate.
2l0 out of $50 shots is required of an
expert marksman under the rules and
regulations. Marksmenship governs the
amount which will be received from the
government and indicates the degree OF
proficiency attained. Captain Kadine
