ELECTRIC TRUCK AT
THE EMMETT PLANT

Emmett, Dec. 1.-THE latest piece
Of equipment to be installed in the
plant of the Boise Payette Lumber Co.
here is an electric Industrial truck for
hauling loads of lumber from the
planning mill to the loading platform
for shipment. This is said to be the
first truck of it's kind in use in this
part of the country.
This truck is wonderful piece of
mechanism. 1t is only ga feet wide
and seven feet long over ALL Its pull
ing capacity is five horse power. 1t
does the work of three horses and does
1t far more efficiently. 1t draws loads
of lumber better and can get through
closer places than horse.
The truck has three wheels, all rub
Der tired 1t is so well balanced hat
it cannot tip over. 1t can be stopped
within six inches, so perfect is its
mechanism. Having only one wheel
in front it can make a complete circle
that Is only seven feet in diameter,
which is just equal to the length of
the truck.
The battery on this truck consists
of 80 cells. The company has it's own
IeNlikSeI al Liz illll, WliIli Shoh6Cc
the electric current so the battery of
cells on the truck can be charged with
electricity. 1t requires seven hours to
charge the battery fully. Each night
the battery is charged with whatever
amount is required, and each noon the
battery is fed" for an hour.
The speed capacity of the truck is
10 miles per hour. 1t cost $1,000. Mil
ton Brown is it's driver. He never saw
one until a few days ago when this
one arrived here. He already is a
very efficient driver. 1t is marvellous
to see him haul a load of lumber along
the big loading platform when 1t Is In
crowded condition. He gets through
narrow places that seem impossible to
accomplish with such loads as he
pulls.

IN GOOD SPIRITS
British Gunners Saved
All Guns on Italian
Front

London, Nov. 1.-All the British guns
with the Italian army were saved, &C
cording to a British correspondent at
Italian headquarters, who says that
the spirits of the British gunners are
good. Lack of transport which could
not be allotted to them was their whole
trouble. One gun was so near to hav-
ing to be abandoned that the breach
mechanism was destroyed. However
the gun was saved eventually.
The correspondent, who accompanied
the retreat of the third Italian army
from the Carso, in a dispatch dated
Tuesday, says that the troops were
cheerful and good tempered and it was
evident that firnness of command
could re-organize them into fighting
force. The Duke of Aosta, command
er of the army, was calm and confident
Monday night as his army had saved
nearly all its guns.
The right wing of the second army
also fell back regularly from Sabotino
and Gorilla. The troops on the left OF
the second army also were retreating
fro mtheir mountain positions so as &c
get into line with the left of the new
defensive front.
The Italian general staff, the writ
er says, naturally has placed a severe
ban on all details Of what happened
during the past few days, but has
permitted the sending of a description
of the destruction Of Italian stores
TIE correspondent says:
The sky was constantly springing into
a livid flare like an instantaneous sunset
followed by a deep rumbling roar. Black
clouds Of smoke were outlined against the
slowing heavens. Ammunition depots
were being blown up stores were being
burned and bridges destroyed. The glare
of explosions gave light of CHASTITY bril-
lance over the thronss of the retreating
army.
"A rainstorm broke and lasted for three
hours, often with extreme violence. II

while covering the retreat, but it delayed
the enemys advance by swelling the

roads on congested railroads impossible
This outlines the story. of which fuller
details are not permitted.
The situation is undoubtedly grave but
the silence which the interest Of the ar
my now imposes must not be construed
as an indication that things are worse
than they actually are. The blow has
been severe, but 1t will not crush italy
