It has had attacks before, but has

It is hard to locate the origin Of this

Mobilization of the national
guard began Monday. While no
orders for embarkation of state
troops for France will be given un-
til after August S, when the entire
force will be formally drafted into
the United States army, there are
indications that some divisions will
be regarded as ready to board
transports soon after that date.
The first clause of President Will
sons proclamation providing for
the liberalization of the guard for
the war became effective Sunday.
Under it all guard units from New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, North and South
Dakota and Nebraska went on the

NezPerce Commissioners Act

Tuesday the Nez Perce county
farm which has been designated as
the Golden Rule Farm" was in
creased by twenty acres when the
commissioners closed a deal for the
purchase of twenty acres from the
Lexington Realty company. The
land is a pasture tract and adjoins
the acreage of the county farm.
The report of the county engineer
in regard to the change in the Pine
Creek road in the Leland section
was approved by the commissioners.
The change will be made at the
John Behrens place and will be
1900 feet in length, providing a
roadway on a four percent grade to
take the place of a highway, the
grade of which reaches Is percent.
The total cost of the change will be
$735, but this cost will be met by
donation work.
The commissioners Wednesday
rejected all proposals submitted
for supplying the county with a
quantity of coal and wood. New
bids were called to be opened at 9
o'clock Saturday morning. The
board also directed the county sur
veyor to make re-survey of the
A. J. Thornton road in the Leland
section. The new survey will apply
to land formerly owned by P.
Mitchie. The board directed the
distribution Of a carload of culvert
pipe for road work.

Deputy Arrests Two

Deputy Sheriff Pat Malone was
in Kendrick Wednesday looking for
members of the l. w. w. organiza-
tion. He returned to Moscow with
a man by the name Of Waldren who
came here from Charleston and has
been cutting wood for Adrian
Schoonover for several weeks.
Schoonover swore to a complaint
before Justice of Peace Hull that
Waldren had cursed the American
flag. So far as known there is no
other evidence against the man.
Claud May also accompanied the
deputy sheriff to Moscow in answer
to a summons from Sheriff Camp
bell. 1t is thought he was sent for
in regard to matters pertaining to
the I. w. ".

Board Elects Teachers

The kendrick school board met
with Prof. White Monday evening
and elected teachers for the coming
school year. Miss Long and Miss
Abrahamson are the only mem bers
Of last years faculty who will re-
turn. Mr.. White will have a man
and woman teacher in the high
school as assistants, providing the
teachers who were elected Monday
will accept. AS none of the new
teachers elected have had time to
notify the board of their acceptance
of the positions offered, theirnames
will not be published until next
week, when it is believed the board
will know definitely the personnel
of the faculty.
It is believed that a very strong
corps of teachers has been
engaged for the school year and
the board is looking forward to a
very successful term. Mr.. White
appears to be man full of energy
and his years Of successful teaching
have undoubtedly qualified him to
handle the situation here very sue
cessfully.

Business Change

Wednesday evening F. A. Wallace,

Auto Co. closed deal whereby the
proprietorship of the building and
repair department of the Company's
business passed into the hands of
Wallace and Roberts. The new
owners will take possession Monday
and will operate garage. They
expect to install more machinery to
be used in repairing anything in
the line of machinery and will
have a complete and up-to-date
equipment. They will also, in all
probability, handle cars but have
not decided upon any particular
make. An expert mechanic is ex.
pected to be in the garage in the
near future.
G. M. Lewis and Burl Emmett
are planning to erect large build.
ing, providing they can make salts

Cornwall Store Blown Up

Dynamite used Tuesday night at
nine o'clock under the store of
Joseph Blalock at Cornwall resulted
in the complete destruction of the
store building and stock and injuries
to Blalock of the most serious ma
ture. He was blown out through
the roof of the building and YVES
severely cut and bruised.
He was rushed to a Moscow hos
pital where he is now receiving
treatment. The examination made
by physicians disclosed that no
bones are fractured but it is feared
he has been internally injured. 1t
is stated he has a fair chance of re-
covery.
Blalock has resided in Cornwall,
small town six miles from Mos
COW, for the past several years. 1t
is stated he had a good many
enemies in the community and re-
Gently a quantity of dynamite and
black powder was stolen from the
clay beds Of the Moscow Fire Brick
& Clay Products Company. Burned
fuse found in the wreck of the
building by Sheriff Campbell leaves
no doubt as to the cause of the ex-
| plosion and it is believed the pow
der taken from the clay deposit was
used for the job. The officers are
working on the case and it is stated
they already have clues as to the
identity of the guilty parties but
they have declined to suggest who
is suspected Of the crime.
Blarock's family resided near the
store but he slept in the store to
guard the building and the stock.
His mind has not been clear since
being brought to Moscow and the
officers are unable to secure any in.
telligent statement from him. He
was alone in the store at the time
of the explosion but the entire com.
munity was Immediately aroused
and an automobile was provided to
rush him to Moscow.
It is stated there are no indica
tions of the l. w. w. being identi
fled with the Cornwall explosion.

The Village Council at their
special meeting last Friday made
up the budget for the general ex-
penses for next year and the fund
reached an aggregate of So, 500.
The town has two funds now since
the purchase of the water system.
One is to handle the current ex-
penses as they come up and the
other pertains to all things con-
cerning the water system. A sink
ing fund will soon be started to pay
off the water bonds when they be-
come due.

Draft Probably Today

According to press dispatches it
is thought possible to hold the ma
tional lottery to determine the or
der of liability of ten million men
registered for military service,
on Friday today. It is not
thought the entire proceeding will
take over an hour.
The press is relied upon to carry
to individuals throughout the coun-
try the information as to when they
will be required to appear before
exemption boards and for that rea-
son every effort is being made to
suit the service of the papers as to
details.
The task of transmitting the long
lists Of numbers by telegraph is a
tremendous problem, but the press
associations and telegraph compan-
les are making efforts to insure
both speed and absolute accuracy
in Transmission. There is more
concern over the task of the indi-
vidual newspaper. In large COM
munities the problem of printing
the serial numbers with the names
Of the men they represent is one of
staggering proportions.
In New York, where there are
189 of the 4,557 local exemption
districts, a list of the names and
numbers would fill several hundred
newspaper pages. Even to give
sufficient names and numbers to
cover those likely to be called to
the colors Immediately means enor-
nous work.
While the apportionment for the
various counties of the state under
the draft law is now in The process
of being worked out, it has been
established that Boise city, with lis
credits in the national guard and
regular army, will not be required
/ to furnish any additional men for
the first new army contingent
Boise on the basis of registration
has given more than its proportion
to the regular army and national
guard and for this is given credit
in the apportionment of men to be
drafted. Ada county, while also
having credits. will be required tt
give a number Of men. the exact
number not having been deter
mined. There are several counties
in the state that have given so free
ly to the regular army and nation
al guard that they will not be re
quired to give additional men un
der the draft when their credits arr
taken into consideration. Among
these counties are Canyon ant
Idaho. 1t was also learned on ex
cellent authority that the recen
proclamation of President Wilson
regarding the draft is paramount
and that in all probability com
panies in the second Idaho regimen
will not be required to come t.
Boise for mobilization before re
porting to the training camp a
Palo Alto. This is taken to indi
cate that orders will be receiver
direct from the war department b
these companies to proceed to tn
training camp.
