formerly of this city and Sioux City,

interest a letter describing the Ger

the surgeons on duty a. one Of the
hospitals at the time Of the attack.
The letter. written to friends in
Sioux City, was published Wednesday
evening in the Sioux City Tribune,
which says:
The horrors of a concerted German

surgeons, is told in letter received in
Sioux City by friends from Lieut.. Ed

and now with the Harvard surgical
unit, in a clearing hospital located
thirty miles west of Ypres, Belgium.
The lieutenant escaped death by
squirming under theater during the
rain of six bombs. two of which land

killing 'and injuring more than fifty
soldiers, The letter follows in part:

Advocate of
Coastwise Shipping

No member OF the House has
fought more persistently for the
upbuilding of our merchant mar
inc than Congressman Greene of
Massachusetts. 1t is largely due
to his efforts that our coastwise
feet has been brought to its
present strength. and he has
been one of the chief opponents,
during the present administrat-
ion. of legislation intended to de
stroy the great business enter
priscs which maintain our super
iority in that regard. During
the consideration of the bill in
committee giving the President
power to take over interned ships
Mr.. Greene offered an amend.
ment providing that such ships
should not be operated in our
cOastwisc trade. Although his
amendment was defeated he will
not abate his efforts in behalf OF
our coastal feet.

SHALL WE HAVE A MILK
CONDENSARY IN MERIDIAN

The location for the new milk con-
densary plant will be considered at
the meeting of stockholders of the
Boise Cooperative Creamery CO.,
to be held in the City council room,
Boise. this Saturday. The stockhold-
ers meet in special session to make
the plans for the condensary. The
directors of the company met and de-
cided to recommend to the stock
holders that the condensary be built,
not that the cheese factories We're
not paying investment, but that
war conditions has made the manu-
facture of condensed milk more de-
sirable and profitable.
Where the condensary will be built
is the question that will be decided
perhaps in the course of ten days or
two weeks. The building of such a
plant means the investment OF much
more capital than for creamery or
cheese factory and the question will
arise, can condensary be conduct
ed profitably as cooperative affair
Lu6 SdIlC dS AHG SlIlplIGI lJldlL
1t means lot to Meridian, as con-
ditions make it favorable to having
a cheese factory and creamery neal
the condensary. Certain times of the
year the milk is not so good for CON
densed milk ,and then the machinery
is used for butter or cheese making
This means, that whatever location
is decided on for the condensary will
be the headquarters for milk re-
ceiving for all this region, and the
town that loses the condensary will
be merely shipping station.
Meridian people will need to gel
busy, as Boise has an eye to the ad.
vantages of such an institution. Mer.
idian is the logical location, being in
the center of the dairy farm district
and while it is argued that the co
operative stockholders in this Vicin'
ity (who own a majority of the
stock) will not consent to the Ions
haul to Boise or some other point
there will be the argument to put
the plant at the place where the cap
ital can be easily raised.
II committee to canvas the loc
ations for site is appointed at tht
meeting tomorrow, those stockhold
ers who are interested in this placi
should see that Meridian is repre-
sented on the committee.
