SECOND IDAHO
PRIDE OF CAMP

The excellent condition of the Second
Idaho infantry regiment becomes more
apparent each day, says Captain IL. e.
Boies of company IL in letter to
Lieutenant Max b. CARRIER, U. s. A.,
mastering officer stationed here. Ut is
freely said on the border that guards
men from this state make up the best
organization modified at Nogales.
Officers of the regular army are tax
ing much pride in the regiment and
continue to use it for a model when
helping militia officers in other or
ganizations to train their recruits and
lay out camps, Captain Boies said.
The Idaho guardsmen lost no men in
the physical examinations, but will lose
some who have families In this state
dependent upon them. No militiamen
from company II are to be returned
Writing of company II, the captain said
he now has 96 men answering to the
morning roll call. This is the largest
single unit in the Nogales mobilization
camp with the exception of one organi-
zation from California.
The California, Utah and Connecticut
regiments are losing large numbers of
men daily due to their inability to pass
the physical examination. The day he
wrote the letter, Captain Boies reports,
107 men from a Connecticut regiment
were returned to their homes. A day
or two before the colonel and more than
quarter of the number of enlistment
men in California regiment were turn
ed down by the examining officer.
Among those refused for duty were 26
members of the regiment s band.

gin drilling. This was possible because

Ten thousand men now are encamped
at Nogales and 5000 additional guards
men are expected to mobilize at that
point, the captain has learned. He ex.
pressed lear that there would be nc
place to locate the newcomers since the
mobilization grounds are located in
gulch, which is now filled. He believes
the Second Idaho and the two regiments
from Connecticut will be included in the
same brigade of infantry. He did not
say what other regiment might be added
to the larger unit.
"The Idaho troops have the best 10
cation in camp, with good air and gooC
water, but the flies are hell, f" wrote the
captain, indicating that the "swattine
brigade - had not reported for duty
In the fight against flies all camp
kitchens and mess tents have beer
screened.
The days are hot, but the nights are
cool in Nogales, he reports, with the
rainy season not yet half over.

NOT: TOLERATE
BRITISH BLACKLIST
AMERICAN NOTE ON SUBJECT
POINTS OUT INCONSIS-
TENCIES. q
THE NEUTRAL AFFECTED
Believes That England Acted Without
Realizing Results When Decree
Was Issued.

Washington, July 30.-Great Britain
is warned against the blacklist, made
public tonight by the state department,
of the many serious consequences to
neutral rights and neutral relations
which such an act must necessarily in
volve. Already in the hands of the
British foreign office, the note says:
"In the gravest TERMS" that it is
manifestly out of the question that
the government of the United States
should acquiesce in such Methods and
That the United States regards the
blacklist as inevitably and essentially
inconsistent with the rights of all the
in the war; 1t reminds the British
government that "citiZens of the
United States are entirely within their
rights in attempting to trade with the
people or the governments of any OF
the nations now at war, subject only
to well defined international praetices
and understanding which the govern
ment of the United States deems the
government of Great Britain to have
too lightly and too frequently disre-
garded."
The American note is even more
positive in its terms than officials have
intimated.
Ambassador Page was instructed by
acting Secretary Polk to deliver it for
mally and textually. 1t follows:
"The announcement that his Britain
mic majesty's government has placed
the names of certain persons, firms ano
corporations in the United States upor
prescriptive blacklist and has forbid
den all financial or commercial dealing
between them and citizens of Great Bri
tain, has been received with the most
painful surprise by the people and gov
ernment of the United States and seems
to the government of the United States
to embody policy of arbitrary inter
ference with neutral trade against
which its duty to protest in the mos
decided terms. The scope and effect o.
the policy are extraordinary. British
steamship companies win not accept
cargoes from the prescribed firms o.

in the location of the North and Soutb

country, stating that if it was built
along the lines as surveyed out there il

on the present section of road now fra.

people greater portion of the wear
and while they would have to
keep that road up as they have done for
years past, it would be Just and fair
to not only the people of the district
but the travelling public as well.
Commissioner Pettibone read a com
munication from the people of the Pol,
lock and higgins section in which they
went on record in favor Of the bond
issue and ask the commissioners to take
such steps as were necessary to call an
election.
George Fipney of the Woodland sec
tion stated the position of that country
which was favorable to the bond issue.
James Surridge, of Harpster, who has
always been good road enthusiast
and can be counted in the front ranks
of the live boosters was called upon and
responded with a talk that put courage
in the hearts of those present, not for
getting the young men to whom he paid
many compliments. Coming from an
old pioneer, such as Mr.. Surridge is,
reflecting as it did the sentiment of the
people who have undergone the hard
ships of pioneer days in this country it
is only natural that his words will long
be remembered by the young men, who
under the guiding hand of the older
men are preparing to assume the public
duties communities place upon the
shoulders of their citizens.
And while we are on this subject of
pioneers, the words of encouragement
spoken by the Hon. j. G. Rowton, of
Kooskia, will inspire confidence and
courage in the hearts of those men upon
whom will fall the task of laboring for
the uplift and unbuilding of the coun.
try.
j. A. Bushue, the Ferdinand merchant
spoke in favor of the North and South
road and showed his community was
awake to the fact that the time has
arrived for this county to shake off its
shell of isolation and emerge live and
active unit of the state willing to do its
part in making Idaho the best state

ment for better highways.

FOLLOWS INVESTIGATION OF
CAUSES OF SMUT EXPLOSIONS
IN INLAND EMPIRE DURING
PAST FEW YEARS.
GU. s. Department of Agriculture
News letter.

". .. department OF ARTlculture
News Letter.)
AS result of a study of explosions
in threshing machines, the department
now recommends that one or more of
three measures be adopted to prevent
loss from this cause. These are: (1)
The installation of an efficient ground
ing system for the removal of static
electricity from the machines; (2) the
installation of suction fan to remove
smut and dust and to prevent the for
nation of an explosive mixture of dust
and air while threshing is being carried
on; and (3) the installation of device
to act as an automatic fire extinguisher
which in the event of fire will not only
save the machine but prevent the
| flames from spreading to the surround
ing grain.
The first two of these devices have
been tried with successful results in the
field. The automatic fire extinguisher
was not constructed until the threshing
season had been closed, but it has been
tested under severe conditions in the
explosion galleries of the Bureau of
Mines at Pittsburg, and in these tests
it has operated successfully 1t has al

conditions at the Government Farm at
Arlington and proved effective in ex-
tinguishing fires which were produced
in different types of grain separators
there.
A total of 81 tests were made in
both places. In no ease was there n
premature action.
Blue prints of each of these three
devices may be secured upon applica-
tion of the Otrice of Public Roads and
Rural Engineering OF the department
at Washington. In view of the great
damage which has been caused by these
dust explosions in recent years, manu-
facturers, threshing-machine owners,
and operators are advised to give care
full attention to the question of equip
ping their machines in this manner.
Studies of dust explosions and fires In
grain separators have been carried on
both by the department in cooperation
with the University of Idaho and by
the Washington State College. These
indicate that static electricity is the
cause of the great majority of these
accidents. The electricity may be pro

IN THE TEN MILE MINES
A. McRea Tells About Developments
In Their Mining Camp.

Spokane, July 2s.-A. McRea of
Portland, one of the directors of the
wonder Gold Mining company, which
owns properties in the Ten Mile dis.
trlct OF central Idaho, is at the Airing
ton motel. The company will soon have
Eureka mill installed and expects to
mil from 30 to so tons a day of the
free milling ore, which it is believed
| Will net at east $40 ton and which
will make daily profit of from 5000 to
$1,000.
Mr.. McRea, however, declined to dis
euss the probable profits, saying that
he will wait until the mill is actually
In operation, and not speculate in ad-
vance on its possibilities.
This district has been an important
gold section of the United States, MANY
millions having been taken from the
properties during the last so years, y
said Mr.. McRae today "and it is con
tinuing to produce and will continue to
do so for many years, although mining
is no longer the simple problem there
that is was in early days
There are ii claims owned by the
Wonder corporation, of which b f.
Pennington of Toppenish, Wash, is
president. The property is in the heart
of the Ten Mile district, in Idaho county
80 miles from Sites.
"We are installing Eureka mill
made by Spokane people 1t is guar
anteed to have a daily capacity of
from 80 to 60 tons in "a hours. We
will be satisfied if it handles 80 or 40
tons of our high grade ore. 1t costs us
$l700 in Spokane and only requires
four horse power We will use gasoline
"About 100 feet of tunnel work has
been done on the Wonder. We have
two tunnels, each 700 feet long, and a
lO0-foot raise connects them. The
lower one gives us depth of 300 feet.
The tunnels are run in on the ledge
which is four feet wide, solid ore, that
averages $2S.64 to the ton. This is the
ore we are taking out and that will be
treated by the new mill. 1t will only
cost us So a ton to mine and mill it.
according to C. w. Riddel, Portland
mining engineer.
"The ledge has been traced three
quarters of a mile and is a true fissure
vein in porphyry quartzite formation
Both our tunnels cut a cross ledge which
in the upper tunnel shows width of
seven feet and in the lower tunnel Il
feet. This cross ledge is in $50 feet in
the upper tunnel and 300 feet in the
} lower tunnel, and gives assays of $525
a ton.

SPEAKS OF DEATH OF BROTHER

Dan Courtney came in from the Coast
this week and will remain for some
time looking after business matters.
He was in Oakland at the time of the
auto tragedy in which his brother, p.
F. and wife lost their lives and while
residing in the neighboring city did not
note the article IN the poper or realize
it was his brother until some time after
the accident.
He states the accident was caused
by P. F. meeting a motorcyclist who
was running at a high rate of speed and
directly at the Courtney car, and p. F.,
| who was at the wheel, attempted to
! turn the car from the macadam road to
the soft dirt along the side in his effort
to prevent collision and the heavy
car started to skid when he must have
thrown it on high in his excitement and
then realizing his mistake and gravity
of the situation, threw on the emergency
break which caused the car to turn
completely over twice. That the
machine at the time of the accident was
possessed of all its power is evidenced
by the wheels on the side of the car on
the macadam digging themselves in the
gravel for depth of four inches and
completely smashing all the spokes of
the rear wheel on that side.
Mrs. Courtney was thrown from the
back seat and crushed by the rear wheel
and Mr.. Courtney was thrown from the
front and his spine broken. What in
formation Dan could get from the un
dertaker and other parties was meageI
and the cornor being out o. the city
at the time of his visit, he had to
depend upon other parties for the de
tails of the tragedy which to say the
