URGE SUSPENSION
OF GRADING RULE

sion of the federal grain grading rule
was urged by Governor. Burnquist OF
Minnesota today in a telegram to Food
Administrator Hoover. Governor
Burnquist stated that under the fed
eral rules the farmer is getting less for
his wheat than It is worth and that
the suspension of this rule would in
sure a freer movement of wheat and
a greater acreage next year in the
northwest. Governor Burnquist also
asked other northwest governors to
make similar requests. Farmers main

During Korniloff Uprising

Kerensky a Virtual Prisoner
and Attempt Made to Re-
move Him From Power

BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD,

Stockholm. Sept. 19.-At the moment
when Korniloff's revolt was at it's
height, Russias peace at any price
fanatics we're in the saddle in Petro-
grad, Premier Kerensky was virtually
a prisoner in the winter palace and
armed mobs, delirious with power,
roamed the streets.
This story of wild excesses of grow
ing power and of Bolsheviki adherents
and of Russia's ,perilous situation of
last week, can now be told for the first
time, from this neutral port. A Boil
sheviki censor was In control at Petro-
grad.
kERENSkY RELEASED REBELS.
When Korniloffs rebellion menaced
Petrograd, Premier Kerensky. search
ing for defenders, released and armed
the Kronstadt sailors and workmen
who last July terrorized the city. He
hoped to send these men against the
rebels.
They instantly assumed control of
the city's streets. Great motor trucks

about the city unhampered. Kerensky,
In the winter palace, was to all intents
and purposes, a prisoner. outside the
door, on the streets nearby and all
through the city they rejoiced in the
widest excesses of joy. They sang and
danced deliriously. All semblance of
order in the city disappeared.
That was on Friday. On the same
night. the same type of Bolshevki

They sought to impose a resolution
for instant peace on what remained of
the Russian governmental machinery.
Immediately. They insisted that
Tschernoff, the extreme radical, who
was formerly minister of agriculture,
be made premier.
President Tscheidze, of the council
alone prevented such revolut ionary
action. He counseled for adjustment.
Three times on Friday Kerensky ar
ranged new ministries. Thrice the
Bolsheviki forces arrogantly rejected
his selections.
The Bolsheviki are the unyielding
extreme radicals of Russia. They be-
lieve in the universal brotherhood of

American Ship Sunk Captain and Eight Of Crew LOST
Just as Inflammable
as Boise River Water

The deadly and blood-cur-
ding "Pettibone Dope" discov-
cred by the morning paper and
it's Spokane agent by the name
of Reinhardt consists of S8 per
cent distilled water and per
cent sulphur fumes which can
not be burned by any known
process. In other words, the
''inflammable" substance is a
per cent solution of sulphurous
acid obtained by passing sui
phur fumes through distilled
water, and 1t was.slcft in the
old state house vault by A. w.
Limbert, the taxidermist, Of this
city, who had this amount on
hand after treating the fruits
which were displayed at the San
Francisco exposition. The stuff
is just as "inflammable" as Boise
river water and no more so.

TRAIN UNTIL SPRING.

That these men will be training until
next spring is regarded certain though
army officials refuse to set an estimate
on the time.
For the moment drafted men will be
minus part of the paraphernalia which
goes to make soldier. Civilian cloth
Ing must be used in some cases, but
this shortage and the lack of rifles is
being rapidly overcome.
While the shortages and discomforts
may provoke criticism from some
quarters, the war department holds
that It's quartermaster service and the
peace time industries of the nation
have responded nobly to the needs of
converting two million men into fight
ing f0sces almost overnight.
Millions of yards of duck, cotton,
wool and so on, were needed and the
peace time output was far below the
requirements. Manufacturers extended
their plants and now this tremendous
mass of supplies is nearly ready.
That additional men may have to be
raised before the second draft is
picked seemed likely to authorities to-
day. due to the necessity of bringing
existing units up to war strength.
