Red Gross On Fourth Box.

The Nezperce Red Cross auxil-
iary is now at work on its fourth
box of apparel for hospital pa
fienfs. Each of the boxes provid-
ed by this branch contained over
400 pieces, so it win be seen that
the ladies of Nezperce and vicinity
have already furnished over 700
articles, from pajama suits to
sleeping sox, for the wounded sol
diers. A good record and one
that those who have helped to
make it should be proud Of
The regular sewing DAYS Of the
Nezperce auxiliary are Mondays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, and ev-
cry woman or girl in the commun-
ity is not only at liberty to assist
in this needful work, but is asked
to do so, if their household duties
viii possibly permit II. One does
not have to be a member Of the
organization to help. The fact
that they want to do something
for the Door lads who have been
torn by shot and shell is sufficient
Dassport to the Red Cross sewing
tables.

units Of which have been m0biliz-

tents and equipment today and
is now enroute 20 Camp Greene,
Charlotte, y. Carolina. The move.
ment was IN progress the entire

n various parts of the northwest
will probably be held al their task
throught the winter.
The general public had no warn
ing as 70 the exact hour the regi-

wished 10 pay the soldiers a fare
well tribute but the censorship
preventing publication Of train

ignorance Of troop movements. In
spite Of this fact thousands Of
people badc the troops godspeed.
Colonel w. II. Edelblute and his
staff. followed by the regimental
band playing patriotic airs, and
nine Of the regiment units, passed
through downtown Boise this
morning. II was one Of the most
impressive sights ever seen IN
Boise. There the few citizens
aware Of the movement chcercd

While much Of the equipment
has been packed. owing 70 the
heavy rains Of the past two days
the tents were not taken down
until the last moment. A record
was made in breaking camp after
that. Officers and men were in
the best Of spirits and evidently
anxious "a be ON the move with
the knowledge that later thcv viii

NORTHWEST WHEAT s2.o5.
Producers Convince Commission
This Price Justified.-Am-
pie Tonnage for
Marketing.

Washington, Sept. 22.-At d
conference this morning with III,
delegation from the Pacific north,
west wheat growers and the con
gressional delegations from Wash,
ington, Oregon and Idaho, Food
Administrators Hoover announced
the establishment Of a basic wheat
price of sos per bushel, No.
northern or equivalent, at Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland for bulk
wheat, with the usual premium
for sacked wheat.
This announcement was made
BY Mr. Hoover after he, III confer
enee with Julius Barnes OF the
wheat corporation and NJ. II. HOu-
ser, wheat representative for the
northwest, had discussed for an
hour the arguments advanced b.
the northwestern farmers during
their conference with President
Wilson on Thursday. Mr. Hoover
and his advisers came 10 the con-
clision that the arguments al.
vnnced by the wheat men were un.
nllswerable; that there was avail
able tonnage necessary to move
their export wheat, aud that the
northwestern growers were placed
~ a disadvantage under the or.
iginai scedulc, which granted
them the Chicago price less 30
cents freight.
The price fixed Il determined
by applying 20 the northwest the
same proportional diffcrcntial
previously applied 10 Minneapolis.
Duluth and other midwest mar
kcts on the Chicago basic price.
Dir. Hoover said the food admin
istration had been falsely accused
Uf trying 70 force down the price
Of wheat: what they had attempt
ed 70 do was TO uphold the price.
The food administration feared
and still fears, he said, compcti-
ton from wheat Of Australia, Ar
gentina and India, much Of which
can be laid down at San Francis
60 for 80 cents and 81 q bushcl.
The growers replied that they
were willing 70 take this risk, as
their wheat il more desirable, cs-
pecially in England. than the 9th
er wheat mentioned, as instanced
by the fact that England bought Il
last year at $3.50 when wheat for
less than half that could be had
from Argentina and Australia

SUTTON HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES

Owing to the widespread cpl demic of measles in the Sutton school and community 1t has been decided not to try to have the closing exercises as had been previously planned. The school escaped any serious outbreak of measles until three weeks before the end of the session when one of the pupils unknoWingly broke out in school exposing all pupils. All the grade rooms were forced to close more than a week ago. At that time the high school de partment had been affected very little. But later developments preventing six of the ten in the senior class from rendering their various parts on the program, and the general condition of measles over the country make it impossible to do justice to the merits of the school or the talent of the pnpils in a program as could have been under normal conditions.
 This closes the best year in
