A SNOW STORM HITS
entire NORTHWEST

The snow storm which ragged
throughout the northwest last week
proved the worst in years and has
many of the old timers guessing.
with the warm weather of the past
few days many of the streams are
running bank full and no doubt some
damage will be done.
There was some slight damage to
the exhibition hall at the Fair
grounds from the heavy snow.
Part of the county bridge near
Thos. Brosnan's place on the NAL
heur river is reported out.
Up the valley they are having some
trouble but not very serious. At
Riverside they had rain instead Of
snow. so the railroad suffered very
little. In a few places the water was
over the railroad, and a few slides
occurred. On the Homedale branch
there was no trouble, the frost being
out of the ground.
There are many rumors of damage
but nothing definite could be learned.
The Big Willow was reported out
Of bank and some of Van Dusen's
sheep lost.

ALL ABOUT LAMBS
AND LANDING

Frank Oxman, the king of lamb
buyers, says there is danger of over
doing the early lamb game, and folks
must not overlook the fact that early
iambing means winter feeding, close
herding and less wool. He figures
that handling a eve flock for early
lambs adds round dollar TO the ex-
penses. Naturally Mr.. oxman speaks
for western conditions for he is a
western man and deals in western
lambs. However, he is the largest
and one of the shrewdest lamb deal
ers In America.

A RUMBLE IN IRELAND
Anti British Society Agitation Is Caus-
ing Officials Alarm.

London, March 16.-The Post pub
fishes a long article in regard to what
it characterizes as the serious situa-
ton in Ireland on account of activity
on the part of the Sim Fem society.
1t says:
From motives of patriotism, Eng
lish newspapers hitherto have refrain
ed from commenting on the situation
in Ireland but it is developing with
such rapidity and gravity that silence
is no longer possible.
Through the south and west a
vigorous organized campaign against
recruiting is being carried out without
serious hindrance. Within few
weeks several persons have been in
dicted and tried in Dubli, but in every
case acquitted by the jury amid
tumu1tuous applause from those in the
court room. All these trials took place
before ordinary juries and we await
with impotence the time when the
authorities will utilize their powers to
have such cases tried before special
Juries or military tribunals.
I'm York a committee recently ap-
pointed to organize the st. Patrick S
day celebrations was offered the use
of several companies of Irish soldiers
but the committee refused to allow
them to participate, stating in reply:
The British army is in hostile oc-
cupation of Ireland and it would be
as absurd for Belgians to invite a con-
tingent from the German army to par
ticipate in a Belgian national celebra-
tiOn.'''

EXECUTE DOCTOR
British Military Law Victim,
Claim Seattle Friends.
Left for Germany and Not
Heard From Since.

Seattle, March 6.-Unconfirmed
reports that DR.. Walter Gellhorn,
prominent Seattle physician who was
taken from a steamer at Kirkwall
while enroute to Germany to join the
German Red Cross has been executed
by the British military authorities,
have been received by friends of DR..
Gellhorn here.
Efforts to ascertain DR.. Gellhorn's
whereabouts if he is alive have been
without avail according to his friends
and the state department will be
asked to investigate his case. A
brother of DR.. Gellhorn resides in st.
Louis, Mo. DR.. G. F. Warmburg, a
close friend of DR.. Gellhorn said that
from the time of DR.. Gellhorn's inn
prisonment December 9, he had re-
ceived letters at frequent interval until
four weeks ago since which time he
has been unable to learn anything of
DR.. Gellhorn.
Had Military Secrets.
Although DIR. Gellhorn and his
friends asserted he was going to Ger
many to serve in the Red Cross, local
agents say that they had evidence
that he was a commissioned officer
in the German army and was going
to join his regiment.
1t also was asserted by the agent
the British authorities had found on
DR.. Gellhorn documents containing
military information. These stories
were denied by DR.. Gellhorn's friends

CAN TRIM EXPENSES
Eat Eggs and Beat High Cost of Liv-
ing, Advises Food Official.

New York, March 10.-"Now is the
time to eat eggs if you would reduce
the cost of living" is the advice to
housewives given today by John J.
Dillon, state commissioner of foods
and markets.
"a big step will have been made, !"
the commissioner said, when the
housewife learns. that at contain sea-
sons due partly to manipulated prices
some staple products are much cheap
er than at other seasons. Egg specu-
lators and manipulators and cold
storage warehouse men use every eff
fort to establish the lowest price pos
sible on eggs SO that they can fill the
cold storage warehouses at a price
which will guarantee them a profit
next fall.
1.-The socalled egg trust. at Kansas
City this week, did its utmost to estab-
lish a price of Is cents a dozen on the
finest eggs delivered at Chicago. This
is equivalent to 19A cents in New
York and would net the producer II
cents a dozen.
For the next sixty days eggs will
be one of the cheapest and best foods
in the market"
