NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The bal

will actually rest with five represen-

so far as the democrats and repub-

returns available up to noon today.
The republicans made such gains
in the election Tuesday that the dem

Although Robin Hood" is % years

ten many other works, this is the first
time that he has lent his name to any
company presenting his operas. The

and 20 with a Saturday matinee, and
radical as it may seem, Mr.. De Koven
is authority for the statement that the
vocal balance and caliber of the pres
eHt company suits him even better
than did the original Bostonians. This
is explained by the fact that in those
days there was a certain amount of
catering to the comedians of the or
ganization, and nov. while the comedy
roles are not neglected, the music is
sung by singers possessing voices suit
ed to the score. who were carefully
selected from the grand opera houses
of this country and Europe.-Adv.

Wheat Offerings in England

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Sympathy with
higher prices at Liverpool brought
about an advance in the wheat mar
ket here today, 1t being reported that
offerings in Great Britain were exceed
ingly small and the reserves danger
ously low. Word was at hand also
that the government of Argentine was
advising farmers to hold their wheat
and urging that Europe must buy at
any cost. Complaints regarding the
condition OF the domestic winter crop
tended further to give advantage to
the bulls. After opening a shade Oft

HIGH SCHOOL BOND
ISSUE IS VOTED
Nampa Piles Up Big Ma
jority in Favor of the
Improvement.
Capital New. Special service.l


Nampa, Feb. 1S.-That Nampa clti-
zens are alive to public questions was
demonstrated yesterday when 1l40 tax
payers of that city cast votes at the
$4,000 bond election for a new nigh
school and carried the issue with
vote of 1923 for, while but III votes
were cast against 1t. The citizens also
chose the site on which the handsome
new building is to be erected. They
selected what is known as the Pleas
ant site inside OF the Fisher ball park
Four sites were voted upon. The
Pleasant site received ass votes, the
Dewey Davis site 421. the Duval site
1919 and the STROBE site 81.
Hardly had the votes been counted
than representatives on the field noti-
fed their bonding houses and already
a number of kilograms have been re-
ceived here offering a handsome prem
ium for the bonds which draw per
cent interest.
The high scho) ii to be built is badly
needed in Nampa as the grade school
in which high school classes have been
conducted was inadequate for the
large number of students desiring to
attend. It is the intention of the
school trustees to make the Nampa
high school second to none in the state
and they are highly pleased Mt the
magnificent vote cast for the bonds by
the enterprsing citizens.

aware of the danger for the future II
these rules, which are OF INFINITE worth
to civilization as whole, are not pre-
served, desires TO herewith make
renewed presentation to your excel
lency in this respect
Mail Traffic Violated.
'Of late the British authorities have
violated the mail traffic. Parcel post
from one Neutral country to another is
being unloaded in British ports and the
contents are being seized While par
Gel post is not protected through The
Hague postal convention, it, neverthe-
less, seems to his majestys govern
ment that the British procedure, in the
form and extensiveness practiced,
would invalidate the law, even with
regard to ordinary express goods. and
that this seems particularly evident
when the seizure of parcel post is di-
rected against a means of conveyance
under guarantee of sovereign powers.
Besides, great personal inconvenience
is connected with seizures OF this kind.
However. England's present prac-
tice of censoring also first class mail
sent by neutral vessels from one neu-
trail country to another, is an even
greater violation OF the rights accord
ed neutral powers by the rules of in
ternational law. 1t is not necessary to
particularly point how contrary this
practice is to the stipulatons in the
above mentioned Hague convention.
which stipula tions, or rules, must be
considered to have been in existence
even before the PRONUNCIATION of this
convention.
THE royal government, therefore.
now appeals to the government OF the
United States for co operation for the
purpose of seeking to bring out a dis
continuation OF the violations of inter
national law, at least so far as the
same concerns first class mail, and it
solicits as early an answer as possible,
whether your excellency is willing to
take appropriate action in cooperation
with the royal government, and
eventually, the governments Of other
neutral countries for the purpose OF
causing that the rule which the ques-
ton involvcs-and which is one of the
fundamental stipulations of ipterna-
tional laW--be observed"

QUICK RECOVERY
FROM THE STORM
Secretary Childs of CONNER
cial Club Tells of Activ-
ity at Portland.

Secretary Childs of the Boise Com
mercial club has just returned from
Portland and reports that the business
men of Portland are looking for busy
and prosperous year, as the lumber
mills have received immense orders
and already several mills are in opera
ton. Although Portland was recently
visited by one of the worst storms
in the history OF the city, little re-
mains to show the effects of the storm,
as the city officials have had hundreds
of men at work removing the snow and
fallen branches, as result of the
silver thaw."
| Through the courtesy of the man

company. l was taken through their
assembling plant at Portland" said
Secretary Childs, and it is one of tho
finest examples of efficiency l have
ever seen, and efficiency, not trade Sc
crets, is the success of that organi-
cation. Parts for assembling over a
thousand cars are always on hand and
this year it is expected 5000 cars will
be sent out of the Portland plant, and
at present every six minutes during
the working day a new Ford machine
| is ready to be shipped. All parts are
shipped in carload lots and the entire
work of painting, assembling and test
| ing is done at the Portland plant.
With the aid Of machinery, two mon
can paint a thousand wheels a day,
and one man with the aid of com
pressed air can give the body of an
auto a coat Of varnish In a few min

painted and upholstered, and the diff
ferent parts ready for assembling, 1t
