A MYSTERIOUS Raider.

There is so much mystery about the
brilliant and surprising exploits Of the Ger
man raider which captured the Appam
that it is impossible as yet TO secure
clear and consistent account even Of what
happened during the eventful week IN
which the prize was taken.
No satisfactory description Of the yes
sci has as yet been published, and the
var;ous coniectures as 10 where she came
from are contradictory and manifestly
fanciful In all the narratives hitherto
renorted she is called the Move. and this
is the name apparently accepted ny the
master Of the Appanl Il has been as
, sumed accordingly. mat she Is the sur
veving shin of that nAme. an assumption
which seems to have been too readily &C
cepted.
There i, an obyious difficulty here. for
the Move was reported sunk in the first
month of the war. This circumstance
seems to have been forgotten. II Is con
ceivable. indeed. that the report was mis-
taken. but even if it were there are other
good reasons for doubling tho correctness
of the Identification. The Move was a
small vessel. with speed Of not more
than 10 knots; she had a coal capacity Of
only eighty tons. her normal armament
consisted OF but three ne-pounders, and
altogether he was VIGOROUSLY i'll equipped
for attacking commerce. i can hardly be
questioned that the raider was a more
.,,f4oL1a ,.ocee1 in oyer-V WaN
Some circumstantial stories have been
told Of how she might have escaped from
a German port. and these have been fol-
lowed by London dispatches recording the
"chagrin' and Humiliation" of the Brit
ish public on learning that the vessel had
broken the blockade, eyaded "the sup
posedly impregnable patrols and so
forth This is sheer nonsense. II is APP
parently forgotten that on two occasions
"a not single cruiser but two considerable
quadrons insulted the English coast and
. escaped unhurt. The possibility of occa-
sional evasions of this kind has never been
doubted, and there are other circum-
stances much more remarkable and more
puzzling in the career of the raider. How
ever. il is by no means certain that the
vessel did set out from Kiel harbor, as il
has been assumed.
The true account when it comes out
should prove one Of the most fascinating
chapters in the story Of the war at sea
rivalling the record Of the gallant and
daring Captain Karl Won Miller Nc
matter how the feat was accomplished
whether the vessel slipped through the
Danish Sound or was fitted out in some
south American port or elsewhere. The
feat was an extraordinary and brilliant
one and an agreeable variation on the
lind of feats that have brought discredif
upon the German navy.
Great daring and resource could alone
lave accomplished what this raider has
accomplished 50 far. That her career Will
lie short may be predicted with reasona-
hlc confidence but the possibilities of even
q single raider AT large were shown in the
.ase Of the Emden, which before she was
caught destroyed seventeen merchantmen

Preparation Against Bad Times.

Mayor Mitchels appointment OF small
permanent Committee on Unemployment
serves chiefly 70 emphasize the happy diff
ference between conditions now and those
existing in the winter of l9l4-13. There
na. been this year no wide demand for re-
lief for those willing enough 70 work but
unable TO find jobs. There has been, IN
deed. so far as Investigations by charita-
lie organizations and labor unions have
1ndicated about as little unemployment
as any winter shows-practlcally moth
ing bit the regulation problem presented
by the habtually unemployed or unem-
ployable and those who drift from odd
Job TO odd job and are usually without
any in the winter months.
Nevertheless. this fortunate condition
cannot be taken for granted always. II
is that fact which led Mr.. Gary to urge
the Mayor TO name "a small representa-
tive committee 10 keep in touch with EN-
ployment conditions. to further effort &c
minimize certain causes of unemployment
and to prepare for future emergencies.
The work Of the large body Of which he
served as chairman last winter showed
that in an emergency about all that couiC
be done was TO furnish relef-and tina

way to attack the problem seriously il

troubles which bad times always bring.

vINTASK GETS 100 DAYS.

Robert Vintask, called the "King Of
the Bootleggers, who was before
Judge Cowan in the district court last
Thursday, was found guilty on charges
preferred against him, and was SEN
fenced to pay fine of 5000 and 80
days in the county Jail at Challis. In
lieu of the money the man was commit
ted to the Jail for term Of 100 days.
Two other men arrested at the same
time in Mackay were sentenced to pay
800 for their offense.
The information leading to the ar
rest of the men was obtained and fur
nished by L. 8. May of the Revelare
secret service, Of Pocatello, and the ar.
rest was made by Constable H. B. Gar
litz, of Mackay, on May s. County At
torney Scion B. Clark, of this county,

xuQT II TAKEN 70
HIGH COURT.

The right of hock owner to range
his sheep within the two-milie limit
zone, over which there has been 80
much controversy in this state, will be
tested out before the supreme court in
the appeal of the case entitled Abra-
ham Denney versus John Arratola.
Rufus Arratola and Dronicio Arratola,
appealed from the judgment entered in
the Third judicial court Of Owyhee
county.
1t is set forth in the complaint which
accompanies the appeal that the de-
PENDANTS, between May / and June Is,
1915, herded band of 1000 sheep on
the range within two miles of the home
stead of Denney, which was covered
with grasses and heritage and which he
had used for a stock range; that after
the herding of the flocks across the
range within this zone it was damaged
to such an extent, that stock could not
be ranged on it. Denney' asked for
damages, and the lower court gave him
$3.50 because of trespass and the dam.
age done to the range. A motion for
a new trial was made. 1t was denied
by the court, and an appeal was taken

SILVER AT Is TO l.

For a time silver seemed in peril Of
losing its standing as a precious metal.
After the check in the free coinage of
silver in this country in 1893 it fell
steadily in value. The war at first &C.
tolerated the fall. In 1914 the price
went as low as 48 cents. Last August
it sank to gold ratio of 40 to l, as
against the original 16 to l.
Now the price is on a rapid upward
trend. The other day the metal was
quoted in New York at TN cents an
ounce, the highest price in 23 years,
making a ratio of 26 to /. 1t will
doubtless continue rising. 1t may no,
reach the old familiar 176 to l, which
Mr.. Bryan fought so long to restore by
legislation, but there s no telling what
may come as one of the incidental pro.
duets of existing conditions.
The explanation is found in the in
creased demand for silver coinage. Eu-
rope is boarding its gold, and as the
gold disappears from circulation silver
takes its place. That requires a far
larger volume of silver bullion for coin.
age purposes, and the increased de-
lnand raises the price, just the same as
1T would in the case of any other COM
modify.
1t is suggested by some fnanciers
that Europe may have to go to silver
basis, as a result of the steady drift
OF gold away from Europe to America
and its permanent retention in this
country. Why not!

THE LARGER COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

The typical characteristic of pro-
gressivve town is keen sense of the
gains that may come from the growth
Of town as whole. The people
clearly see that if they can make their
town and its business increase, every
form of property and business will go
ahead Furthermore, the net profit in
case of such increase should be larger
proportionately than the gain in gross
returns. A larger business can often be
done without much increase of expense,
leaving a greatly enhanced net return.
In every progressive town, therefore,
the merchants are willing to devote
much time and thought to making the
town grow as whole. They do not re-
| lax efforts to compete successfully with
each other. But the gains that come
from the growth of the town as a
| whole come easier and with less effort.
The first essential is 20 develop an
intense feeling Of community loyalty.
1t should be realized that every one
who owns a business or any real estate
is going to gain by the growth of the
town. Also, every one who has a job
in growing town is gamer, though
this is not always realized. In grow
ing town, employers are better able to
pay good wages, and there are more op-
portunities for advancement.
The first step in community loyalty
is to patronize the home merchants.
The man who sells supplies i'll your
town is in sense your business part
ner. He is working for ends that are
vital to your success. Every purchase
made at home helps on the town, helps
make your property, your business, your
job, more valuable, and hopeful of
larger opportunity.
Spend your money so as to make your
home town grow, rather than SO as to
| make some other place grow.

Six Crops; One Failure.

Speaking of the recent frosts and
freeze Hugh f. Nc Elroy, one Of the well
known orcdardists of Boise, said last
night:
"The last serious failure of the fruit
crop in southern Idaho was in 1909. We
have had six crops to one failure.
doubt whether any fruit district Of the
United States can show better record
than that. 1t is certainly less than the
average frost injury in the orange dis
tricts of Florida and California. We
should not forget that the producer of
agricultural crops of any character must
take risks and it is really doubtful
whether the hazards in fruit growing
are greater than in other lines of agri-
culture, while single good fruit crop
with good prices may mean fortune
to the Owner.'

CHURCH LIFTS BAN ON
CARDS AND DANCING.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y.-Members
of the Methodist Episcopal church who
play cards, dance and attend theatres
will no longer be liable to expulsion
if recommendations made by a sub
committee of the general conference
which has been considering the ques-
ton of amusements are adopted by
the committee on the state of the
church, and later by the conference.
The report was offered to the main com
mittee late last Friday, and after an
acrimonious discussion was deferred UNI
til Monday.
BY vote of 10 to the sub-commit-
tee recommended the elimination from
the book Of discipline of the clause pro-
hibiting these amusements, and offered
as a substitute an additional paragraph
in which warning is made against the
diversions.
The effect of the proposed change is
to remove the absolute prohibition, but
to place the church on record as still
strongly opposed to these forms of
amusement. A minority report was
submitted advising the retention Of the
paragraph as it now stands.

FRUIT FAMINE THREATENED

From all indications and reports, the
recent and unusual May frOsts have
greatly damaged, if not nearly destroy
ed, the fruit crop of Idaho that Melted
the horticulturists 100000 last year.
In some localities there is hope of saw
ing part of the crops, and in other Sec
tions they are hopelessly lost. In this
section of Snake River valley, these
May frosts have been very severe, and
Mr.. Adamson, one Of our leading fruit
growers says even the leaves of fruit
have been nipped, and he believes the
fruit crop is practically lost.

WINGED that more equitable manner of
distributing our current is necessary
a system that will be absolutely fair
both to the consumer and the plant.
We are, therefore, installing meters,
and beginning January /, 1917, our
rates, per month, will be as follows:
First Is kilowatts - Zoe each
Second Is kilowatts -------15 c each
All over 80 kilowatts ---------10c each
With 81 as minimum.
Six or eight lkilowatts month will
give ample light for residence pro-
vided the current is not wasted by al
lowing lamps to burn unnecessarily
By the first of January we hope tc
have our new plant in operation anc
will then be able to give an all-time
service with a capacity amply suf
ficient to brilliantly light every bust.

The advocates of a bond issue
in Supervisors District No. 4
have fled a petition for a bond
issue under the contract system,
but Mr.. Till, preferring the Beat
Ownership Law, whereby the
money can be used for the build
ing and constructing Of public
roads without letting the same to
contractors has called an election
on the Both day of December to
determine whether the majority
of the qualified electors will favor
this method. If a majority will
vote in favor of same the Board
of Supervisors will issue the
bonds at it's January, 1917, meet
ing, and the money will be spent
at home and two modern high
ways will be built in Supervisor
District No. A, one running north
and south, the other east and
west through Pelahatchie. The
United States government pro-
poses to pay about half of the
east and west highway. Should
the majority be against this
method there will be no alterna-
tive for the board except to pro-
coed to publish notice of the issu-
ance as petitioned for in the Pc
titions now on file, at it's January
