STATE TO SUE HUSTON
Recover From Bond OH Recent Dum-
my LOan-NOrth Idaho Land Sales
Withdrawn Until Next June

BOISE, Jan. 6.-The state land
board, Yesterday directed Attorney
General t. A. Walters to bring suit on
ehe $4,000 bond of Fred L. Hustoon,
former state auditor. The attorney
general was ordered and directed to
gather the records of the former land
boards proceedings with regard to
the alleged Huston dummy loan
and upon this record the suit will be
instituted.
In taking the action the land board
echoed an incident that played no
unimportant part in the last political
campaign. The so-called Huston loan
exposure created a mild sensation at
the time The former state auditor
secured, a $4,000 loan on certain
farm lands in Bonneville county, but
at the time the loan was made the
board was not aware of the fact the
lands had belonged to the former
state auditor who was then a mem
ber of the board and that they were
then in process of transfer to Luther
A. Huston, his father, and P. w. Will
Jams.

DEPOSITS HERE
LATAH COUNTY MAY PROFIT FROM
PORTLAND COMPANY'S IN
VESTIGATIONS
Efforts Being Made to Locate Depos-
its Of Diat0maciOus Earth, Vol
canic Ash and Asbestos

Latah county is among the sections
of the Northwest which may profit by
investigations being carried on by the
Pacific Asbestos e Supply company
of Portland to locate deposits of as
bestos, diatomacious earth and pull
verized volcanic earth, with a view to
developing the possibilities where
such deposits are found, according to
the inference in letter of inquiry re-
cieved today by D. House, local O.-W.
r. G N. agent, from W. S. Elliott, div
ision freight and passenger agent
e. K. Soper, assistant professor of
mining engineering at the University
of Idaho, is making Investigations and
collecting data concerning such de-
posits in this section for the informa-
ton of the company. He knows of
a deposit of asbestos near Lewiston,
and of deposits of diatomacious earth
and volcanic ash in southern Idaho.
1t was stated in the reply forwarded
to the division and freight agent by
Mr. House, but is unable to give the
exact location of the deposits without
further inquiry and investigation.
The letter apropos of the matter |
sent out by the railroad heads in Port |
land is as follows:
: "The Pacific Asbestos & Supply COM |
pany of this city desires to be placed |
IL touch with producers of diatoma-
cious earth, asbestos and pulverized |
volcanic ash, located on our lines or
in the Northwest territory.
"They state that if the quality is up
. to specifications and the price is not
prohibitive there will be considerable
movement to Portland to enter into
manufacture of their output.
"WilI you please advise me as early
as practicable what deposits of these
commodities are in your territory, who
the owners are and what facilities
they have for placing them on the
market. | might add for your informa-
tion that diatomacious earth is also
known as Kieselguhr and Silica"

in from Somewhere in the Balkans. A"

And hosts of nurses and other women,
with eager desire to serve the need of
humanity. have gone overseas, too, and
are at work in the same distant "Some
where Land.
Eyes dimmed by tears have tried to
pierce through the veil that hides the
country of Somewhere and hearts
that have a new ache are waiting with
patience to learn how those they have
loved long since and lost awhile, are
faring in that mysterious Somewhere
place Of sacred service and sacrifice.
Have they crossed safely the seas that
are infested with the stealthy serpents
of death? Have they set foot upon the
land whose voice has been calling pit
-ously for help in its extremity? Are
they now ministering to the need of
their brothers in distress? Are they
standing shoulder to shoulder with their
comrares IN arms, and doing their part
in thrusting the invader from the de-
vastated land? Have they paid the
! price of their devotion to humanity
with the red blood of their sacrifice?
Oh. what is the word from Some

1t is a wonderful land. "Somewhere"

of secrecy; for marvellous things are
going on there. The best that is in
men and women is fighting with deter
mination born of desperation against
the worst that is in them and the best

great virtues are finding untrammeled
expression in Somewhere Land; for
il is land where exchanges are being
made, and men are hartering their brass
for gold. and their iron for SILVER, and
their wood for brass, and their stone
for iron. The higher values are COM

that were thought to be iLestimable
are being discovered AS worthless. while
other things that were held in dlsdain
