DEATH OF CAPTAIN SHAW.
Captain Shaw. tho big, genial COM
mander Of Company l of Payette, was
one Of the men who answered the call
for border service when he knew his
health was not the best. He had suf-
1ered from kidney trouble before he
enlisted, but he was big. had a robust
appearance and passed the eXamina-
ton easily. Service on the border,
however, told on his strength and there
he developed diabetes. He still held to
his command, however, and 1t was but
a few days ago that he was stricken
down.
Captain Shaw was 33 years OF age.
He was a well known attorney of Pay
cite, where he had made his home for
quite number of years. He was also
a prominent Mason, belonging to sew
eral of the Masonic bodies in Boise.

Edward sullivan, who died last even
ing, was among the last of the men to
enlist in the Second Idaho. He came
here froIl Portland shortly before the
regiment entrained and joined the
Standpoint company. He was one of
the jolly boys Of the regiment, youth
who had CHEEKY word and pleasant
smile for all and consequently he be-
came known to all members of the segi-
ment. Shortly after the return of the
troops he was stricken with measles.

ADVANCE IN PRICE
Possibility Of Increased
Hostilities on Commerce

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Prospects Of an
increasing drain on tho rapidly dim
inishing domestic supply Of wheat
tended to cause an advance In prices
today. German interference with COM
merce from South American ports ap-
peared to have q growing influence
with the bulls, where az the possibility
Of enlarged hostilities IN routes from
the United States to Europe was tom
porarily ignored.
Pessimistio crop reports from Kan
sas acted az . handicap to the bears.
Opening prices, which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to Nc high
er, with May 31.ss to s1.ssA and July
$1.50H to 31.51. were followed by q
downturn and then by substantial gains
all around.
In later trading attention centered
more and more on the supply and de-
mand conditions that suggested the
complete elimination Of surplus sup
plies in the United States and that
seemed to indicate a possible scarcity
before new crop. The close was

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming Settlers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be a large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For a time
there has been a falling off, on account
of the fear Of CONSUMPTION, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
| Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that his farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for a farm.
When he hears that G. III. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels Of
wheat from II acres or an average OF
5671s bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney F.. Phillips of Beddeford. Alberta.
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
521A bushels per acre, his interest Is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field of 25 acres, w.
Quinn Of Milk River had 6,O94 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry Of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from a
field Of 1858 acres. Thos. Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield Of ffty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell J.
Mobiles affidavit Of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels OF
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or ffty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a fax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
38 pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only n few of the reasons
that will aus a large influx of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is MISUNDERSTANDING.

In note writing, so, instead Of deliv-

CHAPTER SIXTEEN.

Bishop Rexall, the head of the
biggest diocese Of a great church,
had been glad to receive Mr.
John Smith.
"Tell me-" he said, "what is it
you wish?"
His thin, sensitive lips moved
slowly, as if he had learned long
ago the power Of all spoken words.
He drummed lightly on the arm Of
his chair with his long, slender
fingers, and his clear, gray eyes,
as he looked at the agitator, were
eloquent Of wisdom and under
standing. In spite Of his white
hair and his great age, he was
strong. His strength was evident
even as he sat far down in his
chair, so that he seemed to rest on
the small of his back, his legs
crossed, his right foot moving
slowly up and down with the reg
ularity of a pendulum. His
benevolence was upon him like a
mantle. Any one, upon seeing him,
sensed it and knew it, almost as
if it had been a tangible, visible
thing.
1t was within three weeks of the
date set for the prohibition pa
rade"-this being the name the
public had given the demonstra-
ton. Smith, his wonderful viva
city undiminished by the work he
had done and was doing, had
come into the room with his ac-
customed famelike ardor - and
this had suggested to the bishop
the atmosphere Of youth that al
ways was about John Smith. The
older nan marvelled that one who
seemed Sc young could have ac-
complished SO much, or could have
persuaded others to go with him
into the undertaking.
1T is very simple, what I have
come to ask" Smith explained.
81 an very anxious to have you
lead the multitude in prayer, up
there on the east steps of the CAPT
toll at noon on December TO-"
The bishop put the tips of his
slender fingers together so that,
with his elbows resting on the
chair arms, they made a gable
over which he looked at the agi-
tator. He smiled gently.
"There will be prayer?" he
asked.
Why, certainly"
The bishop moved his hands
slowly SO that the gable divided
and then shut again.

mote way to Edith to deny or dis
cuss her love for John Smith. All
she sensed was that the girl before
her had told her a story which
might mean his ruin and hers
the destruction of their hope of
happiness. And blindly, vaguely,
the pity Of it came home to her.
1t was as if she had heard the

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of %freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops OF this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted of with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.
