ALLIES Big DRIVE
Still GOING ON
Russians Push German Lines Back
Twelve Miles at Riga;
British Gain

On all sides during the past week
German counter attacks and even
their most determined stands have
not sufficed to hold back their press
ing enemies. The czar's men made
the more spectacular winnings, but
the British pounding at the Somme
river has not been without results.
The British and French claim to have
taken $4,000 prisoners since July /.
Russian Progress
Along 80 mile front just south
of Riga four days fight put the
Germans on the retreat for IL miles.
In the Carpathians they have had
their Austrian enemies, now supple
mented in certain parts by German
soldiers, on constant run back into
Hungary. Against the Turks also
reports say that the Russian advance
has reached a point nearly 100 miles
southwest of Erzerum, which they
captured early in the spring.
The success Of the Russians against
them has probably caused the Teu-
tons more worry than any other re-
cent development, unless 1t be their
failure to take Verdun. But Won
Hindenburg, who Is opposing General
Kuropatkin in the Riga section, is
supposed to have the strongest Teu-
ton army, and he himself seems to
be their foremost strategist. His line
has been cut in several places and
his whole army front pushed back
10 miles. 5r

MORE PRINTING EQUIPMENT

A pair of shears weighing 1900
pounds would be clumsy to handle
ON ones lap, but planted on a cement
foundation with motor and electric
power to do the shearing, 1t works
as smooth as knife in cantelope.
For the past IL years The Repub-
lican office has been using a paper
cutter with only a 22-inch blade, and
with the growth of business 30-inch
cutter was needed. Last week a new
modern machine was installed,
weighing 1000 pounds, and carrying
all the rules and automatic tapes for
quick, accurate work. The power
attachments were left off, pending
the development Of the business to
where man power is too slow. The
Republican office is being steadily
worked over to modernize it in every
respect. A new lightning press in
stalled a month ago has been supply
ing the candidates with campaign
cards that any candidate can be
proud to hand out.

RED SOX WIN BY
NARROW MARGIN
Outplayed BlaclfOOt In Field and at
Bat, But Game was Closely
Contested

Mondays game between the local
boys and the Kansas City Red Sox
team was one of the fastest OF the
season. The pitchers were somewhat
evenly matched, Keltus perhaps fam
ned more batsmen. In the outfield
the visitors easily bested the Black
foot nine and most fans agree the
game was won in the outfield. Both
sides hit fairly we'll, but the Kansas
boys never muffed.
In the first few innings Blackfoot
took lead of several runs, then lost
it and towards the close of the game
Blackfoot pulled up to within one
run Of their opponents. The final
score was 9-8. In the last inning
Blackfoot had good chance to make
another run or two. With three men
on bases and only one out, and the
score close as 1t was, the moment was
intense; but the other two batters
famed, leaving the game to the visit
ors.
One Pocatello man played for
BIackfoot on third and one or two
from Salt Lake supplemented the
home team. "Inky" Thorstenberg
did good work In the outfield. Kel-
tus and Marlowe played their usual
good battery. 4

LARGER APPROPRIATION FOR
EXTENSION WORK In IDAHO

o. D. Center, director Of the agri-
cultural extension department of the
University of Idaho, is home from a
recent trip to Washington, D. c., and
announces that the federal depart
ment of agriculture has increased the
appropriation for Idaho made thru
the bureau of the state relation ser
vice from $4,000 to $1,000.
The increase in the size of the ap-
preparation has been made for the
purpose of helping counties employ
ing county agents to pay their salar-
les, and to allow the extension de-
partment to hire an assistant leader
for work in the boys and girls clubs.
There are now seven county agents
in the state. Each is to receive an
additional $26 a month from the gov
ernment over what they are now
drawing from the counties.
While in Washington Director Cen
ter was told by DR.. A. G. True, chief
of the state relation service, that Ida
no is to have home budget project
to come under the direction of the
home economics work. No other
state has as yet been granted permis-
sion to include the home budget un-
der its projects.-The Idaho Register

STAW HATS TO GO
SKYWARD NEXT YEAR

Not by wind alone, but in price,
will the straw hat soar to unexplored
heights next summer, say the hatters.
Every good economist is advised to

Next year he will be asked more
money for a less good article.
Nearly all the "makings" of straw
hats have advanced in price and

culties and exchange troubles make
them also cost more.
Even hatters have their troubles

FUND BEING
RAISED BY CONTRIBUTION
Second Infantry Soldiers Need Money
For Necessities at the
Border

Many citizens are interested in be-
half sof the Idaho militia boys who
have gone to Nogales, Arizona, to
represent their state, and who are
short in funds needed for supplying
them with certain accessories and
conveniences Of long encampment not
furnished by the national govern
ment to state troops. The Capital
Evening News, Of Boise, is working
to raise the sum of 5000, which will
probably be sent forward by the time
this Is in print. They have received
at that office donations Of from 81
up and from all parts of the state.
The other communities too are pre-
pairing to send money to the relief
of their own companies.
Need for Money
The boys will be in need OF many
things from time to time that are
not easily furnished by the United
States war department and as there
are 1000 Of them the amount OF
money they can use even for minor
necessities will be no bagatelle. This
gives a chance of supporting to those
who can not join the state regiment.

BIG TIME AT ROSE
ON PIONEER DAY

The people of Rose believe that a
community does not consist OF resi-
dents alone, merely bunch OF homes
but that to make it community the
members should mingle and try to
make each other happy as often as
they can. So they celebrated Pioneer
day in a most joyous and spirited
fashion. AS a real red letter day 1t
will remain with all who were privi-
legged to take part. Farms and the
cares thereof were for whole day
forgotten and many unnecessary
years shorn off from those who
thought they were older than they
were.
A lively program commenced at
1890, which was followed at noon
time by a chicken dinner served to
about 200 persons. The dinner was
great credit to the ladies who had
it in their charge.
In the afternoon baseball game
between local teams, the married men
and the single men, was hotly con-
tested, but age finally gained the
day. The bachelors were routed.
During the afternoon all kinds OF
games were played by the old and
the young.
Seventy-five couples attended the
evening dance which capped the per-
feet day. The new lighting system
and the new maple floor made the
occasion especially pleasant. There
were a large number of visitors out
from town. All went home happy at
l a. m.

ONE-STORY SCHOOL BUILDINGS
ARE NOW BEING INAUGURATED

In Salt Lake City they are taking
up the stairless school house idea
and building two very unique struc-
lures of the bungalow style. II Is
conceded that a one story non-fire-
proof building is much safer in case
of fire than even the most fire-proof
tall one because the greatest danger
to the pupils Is in the panics that
take place on the stairways. So they
eliminate the stairways and the ex-
pense of fireproofing; they use more
room and have more decorative
buildings for the town. Since the
school building stands usually by it
self there is no great danger OF fire,
and with a one-story building there
is scarcely any danger of panic.

IDAHO BOYS MAY BE
MOVED FROM NOGALES

In letter to The Capital News,
Tuesday of this week, it was intimat-
ed that indications point to a move
of the Idaho Second infantry to some
other place. This guess is made
from the fact that work was stopped
on Y. M. G. A. building which was
being erected for the use of the boys.
.Forty-five of the militiamen are re-
ported on the sick list, but none OF
them seriously ill; most Of their
troubles are of the minor sort, caused
by over indulgence in ice water or
fruits and melons.

guilty. His trial will probably be

At the same time Jess Sutton will
have to answer to a charge of per-
jury besides gambling, because of

a charge of gambling. These four

At this point it seems that shots
were fred from both inside and out
side, and John Harvey dropped, al
