THURSDAY, MAY "a 1917

At last the selective draft bill has
become a law and the machinery for
raising an army Of 100000 men for
the war against Germany is provided
The first unit to be drafted will consist
of 100000 men, and a sufficient time
will elapse after these men have been
drawn for them TO arrange all their
private affairs before they are mobile
ed for training, 1t is the purpose OF
the government to raise the needed
troops with the least possible disturb
ance Of business and industry, and in
convenience or hardship to the GRATED
men and their families. No man 9th
erwise eligible to draft who has fam
lily solely dependent on him for support
will be taken, and the farms and essen
tial industries will not be crippled TO
raise armies.
But, with all possible restrictions,
there, OF course, will be individual
cases Of hardship, ana the universal
tearing of heartstrings. The young
men who are called to fight their
country's battles will leave many ach.
ing hearts when they respond to the
call to the colors. The mothers OF the
nation have 20 bear the heaviest bur
den OF grief. God alone knows how
hard IL is for them 10 give up their
boys. Yet they will make the sacri-
fee with Spartan courage as the Amer
lean mothers Of l776 and 1861 did

Newspaper publishers have no de-
sire 70 eyade their share Of the expense
Of the war. They expect TO be burden
ed, IS all other classes and conditions
Of people must be, with war taxes.
And they will meet any just and equi.
table demands Of that nature. The
publishers. however, are compelled to
protest against the proposed increase
in their postage rates, which, If carried
out on the scale recommended, will put
many of them out of business. The
proposed increase ranges from 100 TO
600 per cent. Noother business is to be
similarly taxed.
This looks like more than an unjust
discrimination; 1t looks like deliber-
ate purpose to cripple the press. And
the utterances of some of the Congress.
ional advocates Of such an enormous
increase strengthen the suspicion that
animosity against the newspapers,
rather than an honest desire TO raise
revenue, is the chief inspiration Of the
proposed revision. AS areyenue meas
ure it would fail Of its pretended pur-
pose, because the circulation Of such
publications as were not put out Of
business entirely would be greatly cur
tailed Congress should deal fairly
with the newspaper fraternity, as with
all other classes Of citizens. The
press asks no favor Of the government.
1t only asks justice--and that it win
insist on.

A Brilliant Success.

The concert given last evening by
the K. K. KS again demonstrated
the exceptional musical talent in this
town. 1t was a brilliant success, and
every number on the generous pro-
gram was a gem. The singing was
sweet, the music mas charming, the
dancing a delight, and the scenic eff
fects beautiful. The audience, which
packed the Ideal to its capacity, were
delighted. An especially pleasing num-
ber, which was a surprise because no
hint was given of it on the program,
was the Spanish dance by Mrs. Will
Womack, Miss Josephine Wayman
and Mrs. Blackler. The K. K. KS is
a ladies' musical organization that
has for its worthy object the raising
of funds for a free public library.
Other musical entertainments are
planned, all for the same purpose, and
their coming will be awaited with
eagerness.

JUDGE BRYAN NEEDS
ASSISTANCE
Bill Passes Legislature to Give
Relief-Governor Urged to
Sign 1t.

The board of county commissioner:
yesterday adopted a resolution, re.
questing Governor Alexander to sigr
the bill, passed by both houses of the
legislature, providing for an addition
al judge in the Seventh Judicial dis
trict, which includes the counties OF
Gem, Canyon, Washington, Adams, the
new county of Valley and will also
include Payette county if that county
is created.
With such a large district, it will
be easily apparent that Judge Bryan
needs the assistance of another judge
as the bill provides. Otherwise, in
spite of Judge Bryan's well known
diligence and capacity to expedite
court business, expensive and annoy
ing delays will be the result. In this
county alone, there are now 40 cases
on the calendar, besides six cases in
volving important and complex ques-
tions of law which the court has un-
der advisement. Undoubtedly sim
liar conditions exist to a larger ex-
tent in the other counties composing
the district. There is plenty of work
to keep two judges busy. 1t is hoped
the governor will sign the bill and
thus give the necessary relief.

CHINOOK LETS LOOSE
FLOOD WATERS
Melting Snow on Hills Swell
Streams to Overlooking,
Causing Damage.

A Chinook, bringing the balmy
winds from the Southland, swept the
hills and valleys Friday and Saturday
and melting SHOWS turned every dry
gulch into a running stream and filled
creeks to overflowing. The chinoob
was accompanied by rain. The crest
of the flood was reached Saturday and
considerable damage was done to
roads and irrigation bitches.
Trask Brothers auto stage, after a
hard fight to get through for several
days, had to admit defeat Saturday.
The morning stage got as far as Will
low creek and was stopped by the
overflow waters of the stream. The
water was two to three feet deep in
the Willow creek flat. The road be-
tween there and Emmett was badly
washed in places, and an earth slide
on Freezeout hill blocked traffic for
vehicles. For several days the mail
was transferred from the stage at
Willow creek to a horse and brought
in. The roads have been repaired
since then and regular service was
resumed today.

Patent for Road Drap

William Findley has been granted
a patent on his road drag, which he
perfected year or two ago and dem
onstrated by practical tests on the
roads in his district its usefulness.
This road drag is quite an improve
ment over the famous King drag. 1t
is adjustable in width up to 20 feet,
and possesses dumping device that
will release the dirt at any desired
point. Mr.. Findley estimates that
his drag will reduce the expense of
road work from one-fifth to one-third
He has already had many applications
to buy the patent from parties who
have Investigated the merits of the
drag.

Emmett Loses to Caldwell

The Emeett High schol team lost
the game at Caldwell last Thursday
in an exciting but not brilliant game.
Both teams showed flashes of speed
and team work, but the home boys
were not up to standard and the
first half of the game ended 9 to II
against them. Caldwell came back in
the second half with renewed vigor
and piled up IA points, while the En-
NETT boys managed to get half as
many. The final whistle sounded and
the game was CaldwelPs, 26 to 16.
Though this defeat was unfortunate,
it does not prove fatal to Emmett, for
there is still good chance of cinch-
ing the league pennant.

next two games are away from home,

TO INCREASE STATION
FACILITIES
Capacity for Handling Passenger
and Freight Traffic to
be Enlarged.

A special train carrying Short Line
officials passed over the Idaho North
ern last week on a tour Of inspection.
A stop was made in this city to in
vestigate the present crowded sta
ton facilities and consider plans for
increasing their capacity by adding
to the present depot or building new
one and moving the present building
to new location and using it for a
freight warehouse
Emmett people hope a new and
modern station, constructed of brick
or stone, will be decided upon. The
assured rapid growth of the city to
three times it's present population
and a corresponding increase in bust
ness demands it.
In this connection, it is stated that
as the present depot is in the fire dis
trict, the enlarging of the present
building by adding frame structure
is prohibited by the ordinances of the
city.

The new shower bath in the High

busy. The expense of the apparatus
and installation was borne by the
students and business men of the

he has acquired new title, keeper
of the Bath" He took his annual
spring wash Tuesday. No reports of
the sewer being stopped up, as a
consequence, have come in.

Another jam formed in the river
just above the bridge. J. L. Steward,
who lives in the Ed Hanthorn house,
says the noise of the grinding mass
was terrific Great cakes of ice shot
up in the air, some striking the bridge
and making the steel rods rattle and
creak as if an earthquake were shak-
ing them, and he was expecting the
structure to be wrecked, when the jam
broke up with mighty roar and
swept on down the river.

COBBAN ADDITION
TO BE PLATED
B.-P. Lumber Company, Owners, to
Petition for Annexation to City.

Property owners in Cobban's addi-
tion, north of the railroad, met with
Harry Shellworth, the Boise-Payette
Lumber company's representative, to
talk over plans for the improvement
of that section and it's annexation to
the city.
Mr.. Shellworth outlined the com
pany's plans to build so or more
houses for employees in that addition,
to construct a sewer system, to lay
out the streets, and to become a part
of the city. This work is to be done
entirely at the expense of the COM
pany.
The plans met with the enthusias-
tic endorsement of the property own
ers. The petition, praying for an
nexation, will be presented at the
meeting Of the council Monday night.

COURT HOUSE NEWS

Last week the district court granted
a divorce to Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Han
kins. This week all differences and
misunderstanding were patched up
and they are again living together as
man and wife Their many Emmett
friends will be pleased, for they are
both excellent people, and have two
sweet children, which by the courts
decree would have been separated For
nine years this worthy couple had liv-
ed happily together. In the short
space of one day, misunderstanding
arose that came near wrecking their
lives. The reconciliation will be
happy memory to them and blessing
to their children in future years
