BELGIUM STANDS PAT

Belgium is now reported to have
refused an offer for separate peace
with Germany and large indemnity
to be paid by Germany for Belgian
losses.
In the opening of the war Germany
wanted the privilege Of moving her
armies across belgium to fight the
French and English. Belgium re-
fused them this privilege and has
been almost wiped off of the earth.
Now Germany offers to pay the losses
and make treaty by which Belgium
shall be at peace but shall give Ger
many commercial rights almost on
a par with what she demanded at
the outbreak of the war. King Al
bert Of Belgium promptly refused the
offer and 100000 German troops are
said to be massing for another drive
into Belgium.

"HERMAN THE GREAT"

On Monday and Tuesday, February
A and Is, thanks to the management
of the Isis theatre, real treat will
be offered to the patrons Of this pro-
gressive house., Hermann, the ma
gician, nephew of Alexander Herr
mann, known as Hermann the Great,
is coming with his company after
completing most successful engage
ment with the Orpheum circuit.
Everybody knows that Hermann is,
synonymous with the art of magic
and was ever so since the days OF,
Hermann the great, that wonderful
entertainer established a reputation
in stage delectation that has never
been eclipsed.
Critics, who remember the mar
velous performances Of the great IL
lusionist recognize many of his best
and mystifying tricks is the enter
tainment now offered by Professor
Felix Hermann, nephew and pupil OF
the original trickster and heir to all
stage illusions and paraphernalia left
by Alexander Herman at the time
of his death some years ago.
Added to the best of the latter's
tricks, are several more modern and
up-to-date features that have brought
the present Herrmann's offering to a
high standard that makes it pre-
eminently the greatest magic and IL
lusion act of the present time. The
cross illusion and the trunk mystery
alone are worth the price of admis-
sion and it would be impossible to
give an exact description of the num-
erous tricks performed on the stage |
by Professor Herman. It would be
too long to mention all that has been |
written the world over about this
prince of magicians, and the immense
attendance Of people at every one Of
his performances is the best proof |
that the popularity of Professor
Hermann is constantly increasing.

THE BUSINESS OF LIVING

The Parents and Teachers asso-
clation held their third meeting at
the High School auditorium, Friday
afternoon. Those present first went
to the gymnasium, where they wit
ness the high school girls taking
physical culture. They could easily
see that the young ladies were de-
irving great deal of benefit from
this class under the directorship of
Miss Roberts. In the auditorium the
small tots in Miss Cassie Wright's
room pleased the audience with a
beautiful cantata. e
The constitution and bylaws as
read and accepted. Mrs Carruth was
elected president, Mrs. Nellie Caster,
and Miss May Rob-
erts, secretary.
DR.. &. A. Hoover's talk was appre-
ciated and because the time was too
short, it will be continued at later
date.

WILL INSPECT THE
STATE RESERVOIRS

| The state land board have decided
to have State Engineer j. H. Smith
inspect all the reservoirs in Idaho as
soon as it can be done, to determine
SO far as possible any points of weak
ness that might result in their break
ing. The heavy snow fall and the
possibilities of heavy rains and rapid
thawing, makes it likely that floods
will follow.
The experiences of southern Cali
fornia with the bursting of reser-
voirs that were considered safe, is
warning to other states to prepare
for similar disasters. Idaho has many
small reservoirs. in addition to those
built by the government and those
connected with irrigation projects.
Those most likely to affect the Snake
river valley in Binoham county in
case OF a break are the Blackfoot
reservoir on the upper Blackfoot
river, and the Jackson Lake reservoir
in western Wyoming. Both of them
were built by the government under
strict supervision, and any inspection
that might be made by. the state
engineer at this time or later in the
spring could only be a guess as to
whether or not the spillway bears
proper relation in size to the volume
of water flowing into it at that part
of the season following the time
when the reservoir became filed. If
the Jackson reservoir should break
it would probably not endanger any
lives except on the upper reaches Of
the river. In case of a break of
the Blackfoot dam, the principal
damage would be from Presto down
to the mouth of the Blackfoot river.
1t might make boating good in the
streets of the county seat for few
days, and a good many furnaces
would be temporarily out Of commits
sion.
For the present let us hope that |
the spillways are shut tight and that
Uncle Samuel is storing every barrel
Of water possible. There is no danger
until the water line gets up to where
It has been in former years at least,
and it represents mighty pile of
wealth that everybody should feel
proud of.

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA

Attorney William A. Lee got back
from trip to California, Wednesday
evening. He left Idaho on the
twenty-ninth in company with Mr..
and Mrs. D. H. Biethan and other
Idahoans, making a car load, and
had an uneventful trip to Los An
geles. Mr.. Lee had some legal busi-
ness there and after attending to it
he went to San Francisco, where his
son, Lieutenant Robert C. Lee, who
is the navigating officer on the U. S.
S. Raleigh which is now in drydock
at the Mare Island navy yards. He
had quite pleasant visit with the
young man for a couple Of days,
and is expecting to have him at home
on furlough soon.
The Raleigh has been doing patrol
duty on the west coast of Mexico,
where white settlements require pro-
lection from the Indians and bandits.
One of the features of the work is
that the settlers are allowed to raise
their crops, the bandits come down
out of the mountains and hire out
and help them with the harvest and
then come back with their friends
to kill and rob the settlers and take
The crops. Securing protection from
outrage has been assigned to the
Raleigh.

META MINING COMPANY MET

The annual stockholders meeting
of the Meta Mining company was
held at Blackfoot, Monday afternoon,
and Secretary G.. H. Holbrook made
report of the financial condition of
the company, there being a small in
debtedness and most of it backed by
individual stockholders.
w. r. Jones made a report upon
the condition Of the mine, the pros
poets being bright, and there being
considerable ore ready for shipment
as soon as the weather and roads
will permit. A drift Is being driven
to tap the ore body at point where
it is thought to exist at a point of
contact, and news Of the strike is
expected at any time. There was
some talk of levying small assess
ment to pay up the debts, but this
was left for the consideration of the
directors at later meeting.
The property is situated northward
from Howe, on the north side Of
Little Lost river and some distance
up in the mountains. A road has
been built from the mine to Birch
creek, and Dubois, so miles distant
is the shipping point.
Mr.. Jones stated that lead was
only four and half cents a pound
when they were shipping before, and
that it now quoted at .O61, and that
enables them to ship ore at consider
able profit that would only pay ex-
penses before There were present
at the meeting A. E. Christensen,
president; his son, e. Milton Chris
tenson, w. F. Martin, Byrd Trego,
w. R. Jones. G. H. Holbrook, Oliver
Belnay and Joe Fyans.

ARE STILL SEEKING

The Republican office has been
trying for some time to get re-
porter, man for what newspapers
call local outside work. Three have
taken "try-out" at it recently and
each of them has failed to deliver
the goods. One applicant was SO
sure he could handle the work that
he travelled quite distance to get
the position and then made failure.
The management is still seeking
and will try to, retain the right man
when he is discovered. A corking

you know Of one we wish you would
send him around.

WILLYS SHREWD PUR-
CHASES SAVE MILLIONS
FOR OVERLAND COMPANY

His ability clearly to foresee i'm
pending business changes and to take
advantage of conditions that are
favorable, has enabled John N. Will
lys, president of the WHY'S Overland
company, to effect saving Of several
million dollars for that enterprise,
during the recent months of ma
terials stringency. During the era of
comparative business depression be-
fore the war, WHY'S was actively en-
gagged developing plans for expanding
Overland business, that have since
matured with rapidity so bewilder-
ing to those who are unfamiliar with
the magnitude of his projects. At
that time he not only purchased vast
quantities of materials, but completed
arrangements whereby the entire re-
quirements of the new production
schedules would be entirely taken
care of for many months to come.
In this way it has come about that
while other manufacturers have been
forced to meet advancing prices in
the market, and often have been at
some pains to secure sufficient guam
titles for immediate demands, the
Overland company has been Operat-
ing continuously upon materials long
ago provided for and secured at rates
prevailing in the market at the time
of purchase On this basis it is figur-
ed that the company has been able
to save no less than three and one
half million dollars in purchases of
aluminium alone, while the saving in
steel has amounted to another mil
lion.
It is due primarily to these econ
omics that the Toledo concern has
been able to deduct $55 from the
original price of its model 1873 B"
Overland car, even in the face of a /
rising material market,
Not only has WHY'S ability cor
rectly to foresee business conditions,
more than once excited comment, but
many of his utterances have proved |
prophetic, thus it has re-
Gently been recalled that about one
year ago, much to the amazement of
his hearers, he made the prediction !
that no less than five twelve-cylinder
cars would be on exhibition at the
automobile show in New York in
1915. This, as a matter of fact, is
precisely the number of twelve-cyl-
lnder cars that put in an appearance
when the doors opened at Grand
Central Palace on January g., adv.

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

The sheriff's office captured three
patches of booze during the past
week and have three men in limbo
for violations of the law. John Caver-
hill and j. E. McCarroll were cap
tured at Shelley, each with two suit
cases containing 72 pints of whisky.
On Wednesday afternoon one John
Boder stepped from the train at
Firth carrying two suit cases and
Sheriff Simmons stepped off right be-
hind him. The sheriff asked him
what he had in his suit cases and
he replied that he carried samples of
soap which he was selling. On being
opened, the suitcases revealed 20
pints of whisky. He entered plea
of guilty and the other two will prob
ably do the same, but did not at
first.
The county commissioners held a
short session Thursday afternoon to
pass upon an application for a herd
district, and to pass upon some other
minor matters.
District court convened on Thurs
day morning and will be in session
next week.

NEW THEORY OF HYGIENE
GETS PRACTICAL BOOST
Railroad Superintendent Warns Train.
men to Keep all Cars Cool
Enough for Health

| Quick and practical response tt
important pronouncements of scien.
tific theory is characteristic of today
Formerly doctors and other scientists
usually knew things for a generation
before the public paid attention.
A fine illustration of the modern
tendency is found in general order
to trainmen issued by the general
superintendents of the Union Pacific
system. This order warns against
the overheating of cars and requires
that certain temperatures be main
tanned exactly for the sake of passen-
gers health.
1t is less than two years since a
scientist made series Of exrcri-
ments which proved to medical
authorities that high temperatures
were more injurious to health than
lack Of fresh air-yet here is this
new and important theory already
in practice and on an important scale.
Following is the text of the order
issued to trainmen by general sup
erintendents of Union Pacific system
lines:
"All sleepers, chair cars and
coaches operated over Union Pacific
lines are equipped with ventilating
systems by which an adequate supply
of fresh air is provided.
Cars must be well ventilated at
all times and not allowed to become
too warm, or overheated.
High temperature is more detri-
mental to health than lack of fresh
air.
"The following temperatures must
be maintained during the cool sea-
son:
"Sleepers: Days, 70 degrees;
nights, 60 degrees.
Chair cars and coaches: Days
and nights, 70 degrees"
Few travellers have ever found |
trains too cool. Steam heats so
readily, and the space in the train
Is relatively so small, that errors in
regulation are almost in
variably on the side of too much
heat. This has been true even of
railroads in the far north. Tempera-
;ures outside train, in the winter
line, have little to do with comfort
n@de, The whole question hinges
IN the efficiency which trainmen dis
lay in using the heating and ven
ilating systems.

GOOD STREET WORK

Fire Chief w. H. Groseclose has
been proving the wisdom of the city
council in selecting him for the care
of the streets during the recent
storms and thaws. He has anticipat-
ed the daily troubles and been pre-
pared for what came. Municipal
cleaning of most of the snow from
the walks by the use of horse and
snow plow, the cutting of drains be-
fore the ice formed and the opening
of the ice frequently during the slop-
NY period has kept the Streets and
walks in good condition and saved
the overflow into Easements.

THE MACKAY BRANCH

Inc MaCKay train went out InurS-
day morning for the first time in
two weeks. 1t carried more pass
engers than usual, some of them hav-
| ing waited for week or ten days.
The express was heavy and there
were 400 pouches of mail and $50
packages of letters. The mail divis-
ion of the Car was so full there was
little room for the railway clerk to
work.
The last round. trip made by the
train was on Wednesday the twenty
sixth of January, and the Mackay
freight. stalled above Powell on the
twenty-seventh where it remained for
five days snowbound. A working
force of two engines and 40 shovelers
worked intermitently to open the
road to travel, but the snow fell and
drifted in so their efforts were futile
until the thaw started. For the past
few, days they used three locomotives
and snow plow, and from 40 to
SO men, and on Tuesday they got as
far as Moore when two engines were
ditched by the breaking of rail.
Two firemen, Peck and Cameron,
were bruised and sustained slight in
juries. The wrecker train accom-
panied by Division Superintendent A.
F. Brewer went out Wednesday
morning and cleared the line.
