Booze Seized
On Train
Excursionists to Montana Were Bringing
Liquor Into Idaho.

ST. Anthony, idaho. Officers of
the law made rich haul of booze
Sunday night when they searched
an excursion train returning from
Dillon, Mont, to Idaho Falls,
after it passed into Idaho. The
train carried nine coaches, which
contained 435; excursionists, who
had been attracted by base ball
game between Blackfoot and
Dillon.
Deputies Mat Cochems and Bert
Barr of Fremont county, Deputy
Norton of Idaho Falls and Short
Line Detectives Toe Jones and Joe
Hall accompanied the train to
Dillon and on the return journey
began the work of search and
seizure Immediately after the cars
had crossed the state line.
One of the officers is authority
for the statement that 1000 bottles
of various sizes and contents were
confscated and so bulky became
the plunder that it was necessary
to hurl part of it from the moving
train. The remainder was carried
TO Idaho Falls where it required
two trucks to transport il to the
lookup.
The officials encountered little
resistance in taking the liquor,
except from a few drunken men
who were more or less defiant, but
we're speedily quieted. AS 90 per
cent of the passengers had from
one to ten packages each, no
arrests were made for unlawful
possession, because the small force
at hand was hopelessly inadequate,
and the offenders were permitted
TO go their way minus the man
consideration that in most cases
prompted the excursionists to
make the trip.
The action of the officials, which
| it is said, will be followed unalter-
ably in future cases of this
character, may cause excursions
] from Idaho to Montana TO lose
much of the popularity that they
hitherto have enjoyed.

colt for the last two quarters OF the
last fiscal year, which has been held
up by the commissioners To cover an
alleged shortage OF WonDacott during
his tenure OF Office in 19I0-l01l. The
district court ruled that action was
barred under the statute OF limita-
tiOns OF this state.

| tlOn were under control. The French
Gulch fire, TO which 90 men were sent

men already there. Mr.. Wolff ie-
duced the force to 20 men.
The county army draft board met

Drafted Into
Regular Army
Second Idaho Now Subject to Call of
President for Foreign Service.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. S The boys
of the Second Idaho regiment
automatically shed their standing
and obligations as national guards
men this morning by the operation
OF President Wilson's proclama-
ton OF July 9, and were drafted en-
masse into the regular army.
They are now subject to the presi-
dents call for service in France.
The officers of the regiment will
accept new commissions as officers
in the regular army and will main
tain the seniority to which their
service in the national guard en-
titles them.
DExcept to their friends, and as a
means Of local identification, the
boys will no longer be known as
members of the Second Idaho. A
new number, the next in the gov
ernment's regiment serials, will be
assigned the regiment within a
few days. What that number will
be has not been made public.
New collar ornaments, bearing
the regiments army number, will
be distributed to the boys within a
few days. Indicating their prev
ious service, underneath the larger
government number "2nd Idaho"
will appear, in parenthesis, on
these ornaments.
AS federalized guard unit, the
Second Idaho's status was simply
that of state troops loaned to the
government. AS such the boys had
assumed a dual obligation one to
the state and one tc the nation.
While the president was empow-
cred to move them as necessity
arose to any point within the con.
tinental United States, they could
not be sent abroad. Even their
disposition within the United
States was controlled by recon-
mendations OF the governor.
The presidents proclamation
discharges them specifically from
their oath to the state. In this way
the constitutional restraint upor
use OF the militia abroad is avoid
ed, and the way is paved for the
Second Idaho, along with militia
of other states, to see service or
the firing lines at the European
front.

enough coal brought to Idaho during
the summer months to give assurance

I have been and am now enough of
a pacifist to have hoped we could
justly keep out of war. 1 have sup
ported President Wilson in his eff
forts to keep us out of the European
war, and was with him whole-heart-
edly in his determination to head off
the. ingoes who tried to plunge us
into a war Of conquest in Mexico.
But I'm not VIM. J. Bryan pacitist,
although l supported Bryan every
time he ran for president I like
Henry FOrd's pacifism better than I
do Bryan's. Ford did all he could
for peace, in spite of all the ridicule
and hatred heaped upon him by a
war-mad lingo press. But when Will
son had striven nightly for peace,
and it looked as if he might have to
fight for it, Ford made ready to ac-
cept the inevitable and to touch ell
bows with Wilson if we have to fight
That's my position. l might turn
the other cheek once, but by the time
l had been knocked down and the
other fellow began kicking me in the
Stats or wiping his hob-nailed shoes
on my face, fancy I'd begin to get
tired of it.
I'm strong on the brotherhood of

workingmen of the warning nations
of Europe shooting each other down
like dogs. AS a big brother 1 might
stand by and watch two smaller

often beneficial. Therefore if you want

What tho Parisians Are
Turning Out For Spring.

What is lost in the width of the new
skirts for spring is added to the length
in the proportion of yard to an inch.
Skirts are now inches longer and GER

were ten and twelve inches from the
ground, they are now six or seven. As

Is new silhouette introduced, and
that is one that closely resembles a
barrel as far as the skirt is concern
ed. This is probably inspired by the
Turkish skirt that was shown by sew
eral of the cc1turiers last spring. At
any rate, there are a number Of the
largest creators in Paris who show
skirts Of this description.
Paqnin uses it in an afternoon gown

spring creations.

the front, sides and back of the coat.
Even coat suits are showing the bar

expert is of checks of blue and white,
trimmed with Roumanian embroidery.
The jacket of this suit Is hip length,
as are many Of the suits for spring for
this house.
Premet uses this type of skirt in an
afternoon frock Of two materials.
They are joined just below the hips,
and at this point the skirt is much
wider than at the bottom where it is
drawn in considerably.
From these various couturiers it will
be seen that there is every chance that

Hats For EVENING,

The edict of the French government
that hats and simple gowns must be

ready brought about the fashion in
this country. Milliners are delighted
over the change. They are Offering all

to wear with low evening gowns. 1t
has been half dozen years or more
since this fashion was accepted in

The majority of these evening hats
are of silver tulle or bullion cloth.
