job on hand of making Mexico behave,
there will be lot of patrol work to
do. 1t is the intention of the govern
ment to withdraw the men Of the reg
ular army who have been on the bor.
der the past two years, return them to
their regular posts, and let the new SOL
diers have that job. They will prob
more, and by the time they have served
their time will be regular soldiers.
The internal troubles of the Second
regiment fortunately have, to all ac-
counts, been adjusted. The affairs Of
the regiment have attracted unfavOr-
able attention the country over. The
efforts of the regimental officers to
have an officer of the regular army
placed in command of the regiment
were headed off by rhe governor, who
prepared to "mix politics. with the
matter and see that one of his political
appointees was placed second in com
mand.
The trouble did not do the regiment
any good and the work of the recruit
ing officer was handicapped to great
degree and the enlisting fell off to the
extent that the regiment had to go into
the field under the number of men re.
quired.
Owing to the fact that the governor
vetoed the military appropriation bill
the State could not pay the mel but
half the money that is due them, and as
many of the boys depended upon and
needed the money to help equip them

Packers are paying $1O.75 for native
lambs, and they paid $1,000 for the best
Arizonas here today, although they find
Arizona lambs this late in the season
rather coarse, resembling yearling too
much. There is no doubt but what
choice Idaho lambs would bring $ll on
today's market, and buyers here are
very anxious for them. Two cars of

REWARD FOR CONVICTION

The shipping into Idaho of intoxi
eating liquors for sale is going to be
made a somewhat difficult and hazard
Gus task and also a dangerous one after
it becomes generally known over the
State that Governor Alexander has au-
thOrized the posting of 800 reward

lawfully bringing intoxicating liquor,
into the State of Idaho and selling it or
disposing of it, This class of boot.
logger is going to cease the illicit traf.
fic he is engaged in if it is within the
power of the States chief executive to
stop him.
/. Governor Alexander recommends to
courts that the maximum penalty be
applied in cases of convictions, which
means heavy fines, in default of which
Jail sentences are substituted. Second
convictions mean Imprisonment in the
State penitentiary.
Reward Offered.
Whereas, within States where the
sale of Intoxicating liquors are still
permitted, saloons and other places for
the sale of intoxicants have been estab-
lished at or near the border of the State
Of Idaho for the apparent purpose of
violating the laws of this State; and.
Whereas, from such saloons and 9th

HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called jack ass and clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to acoieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who las taken a definite step toward end ing the war True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the War. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. Well we've been Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads 'n Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.

Sensations have abounded on the

ternated in the control of the market
During a bull raid Friday morning
prices advanced rapidly, and new
high record was established, May fu-
lures having touched the 21-cent
mark. The market soon weakened,
however, and the advance was fol-
lowed by sharp decline, loss of
about 60 points, which is tantamount
to SO bale, having been experienced.
Bulls again swung into the saddle,
and by heavy buying brought about
a rally which resulted in a partial
retrenchment of losses, the market
having closed Friday afternoon with
net loss of from s to S5 points.
The market was firm yesterday,
and appreeiable gains were made
during the session, New York spots

pathy Of the stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and ter
ror or war has so pittilessly fallen,
and to contribute out Of our album
dant means to the relief of their suf-
ferings
"Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude toward
the present struggle Of the nations
than by contributing out Of their
abundance to the relief Of the suffer
ing which war has brought in its
train.
In witness whereof ! have here
unto set my hand and caused the
