st. Louis, Mo-, May 7.-The middle
west s unrivalled reception Of the great
French warriors and statesmen is at an
end and with the last long cheers Of
the flag g-strewn crowd which watched
the special out of sight here today,
cheering in the distance, Premier Vi
viani and General Joffre turned their
steps toward the grave of Lincoln.
Perhaps the most impressive and sig
nificant moment Of the French comms-
sion s tour of the west will come when,
in the presence of great gathering OF
those common people for whom all
three have given the best efforts OF
their lives, Rene Viviani and Joseph
Joffre, leaders in the war for the eman
cipation of the world, do homage be-
fore the tomb of Abraham Lincoln,
emancipation of nation.
That the heart of the west-and Its
sword and storehouses--h been pledg
ed and are being taken back TO
France by the allies battle commission
ers there is no doubt.
Millions of Americans-thousands OF
German birth among them-stood on
the line of march in Chicago and at
stops cheered them to the echo. The
progress of the party thence through
corn and wheat belts to Kansas City
and back to st. Louis was blazed
trail of triumph for allied arms.
Three Flags Flying
"The stars and stripes and the trl,
color have been inextricably ming ed
| in the middle west in the last five
days. said a member of the party as
the train left st. Louis today.
In all the millions of mixed cltlzenliry
alongside the line of march as the
Frenchmen passed it has been all
q viye la France" and not one whisper
of TShoch der kaiser And if there is
any one incident which has touched the
hearts of the French more than any
other among countless incidents b,y
which the middle west has attested Its
devotion TO the allies cause, 1t was
that of a little farmer lad who STOOD
alone in the midst Of rolling fields be-
side the track, far out in the BLACK
fields of Illinois, bravely waving a
flao three times as large as he, wnlie

Endorses: "The Rights Of
Small Nation"
By John H. Hearty.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Rome, May Pope Benedict may
throw the weight of his influence in
the Irish situation, according to in
formation from high vatican authorities
today
Official expression was unobtainahles
but it was reiterated that the holy
father "emphatically endorses the
rights of small nations.
This expression was given signifi-
cance as applying to Ireland by an
nouncement of the impending selection
of Monsignor Cerretti, long student
of Irish and American affairs, as papaI
secretary of state for extraordinary &C.
clesiastical affairs.
The new post does not affect Card
inal Gasparri IS work as papal secretary
but establishes a new sphere Of vatican
activity.
Monsignor Cerretti was formerly
panel representative in Mexico and
papal auditor at Washington under
Cardinal Falconio. At present he IS
papal nuncio at Australia.
Creation of the new vatican post
aroused further interest today in re-
ports that the vatican had been adj
vised by its South American ministers
of the pending entry into the war Of
" almost alln Latin-American nations
The pope's peace message OF satur-
day was regarded as significant in TINS
connection.
The holy father has also been in
formed. it was said, that other nations
in Europe and Asia may be drawn IN
| to the conflict.

BUSINESS

War VIII No Doubt Stimulate
Many Lines of Production
and Industry
By Lowell Mellett

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, May American business
has nothing to fear from the war. The
profits in England have been above
normal since the war began
Lord Rhondda, president of the local
government board and a member of
Lloyd-George cabinet, in making this
statement to the United Press, declar

capitalist-can look optimistically to
the future.
Lord Rhondda may be best known to
Americans as D. A. Thomas-his name

of the world S captains of industry
with interests not only in England, but
in France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil
and Argentine. He has made frequent
visits to the United States-his latest
being one undertaken at the request
of Premier LloydGeorge to arrange
supplies for England and to obtain in

Deer Perish in River

Residents of the North Fork
country report large numbers of
deer have perished in the river dur
ing the cold spells and a number
were rescued from the river by the
ranchmen. Some of the deer per-
ished from cold after being brought
ashore and others recovered and re-
mained on the flats adjacent to the
river until conditions were favor
able for them to feed on the low
ridges and along the rocky hillsides.
1t is explained the deep snow on
the ridges force the deer to the
flats and the scarcity of feed caused
them to endeavor to cross the river.
The deer have regular crossings and
these are on the rifles above the
rapids and eddies. 1t is a peculiar
ity of the streams of the Clearwa-
ter region for the ice to form at
the bottom of the ripples, and jams
are created below the rapids and as
the water cuts it's way through
these jams, high walls of ice are
left along the shore for long dis
tances. AS reported by the ranch
men, many of the deer that endeav-
or to cross the rifles during the
frozen period are carried into the
rapids and between the walls of ice
below and unless rescued. but
small percent ever gain the shore.
Men who have lived on the North
Fork for many years state large
number of deer are killed each
winter by being caught in the ice
and there appears to be no means
to check this loss. The recent
break in the weather has allowed
the deer to resume feeding on the
moss that is found on the rocks ad-
jacent to the river and considerable
feed is secured from browsing on
the flats. The view is expressed
that the loss this year has been less
than usual, but even under the con-
ditions of the present season, more
deer have p,rished in the rivers
than were killed by hunters during
the open season.-Orofino Tribune.

Jewelry Store to Move

G. G. Oldfield has rented the
store room next to the Kendrick
Hotel and will move his stock of
goods from his present location to
the new quarters. He has been
crowded for room and as the Ken
drick Furniture Company also
wishes to enlarge its floor space, it
was decided a move was necessary.
The new location for the jewelry
store will be generally overhauled
during the next two weeks. A
plate glass front will be put in and
the interior remodeled. There is
ample room for the jewelry busi-
ness and floor space for Mr.. Old
fields stock of monographs and
musical instruments. This is
another improvement for Kendrick.

Visiting The Schools

The following sensible article is
now going the rounds of the news
papers:
"At a recent public gathering of
from three or four hundred people
who were earnestly discussing the
problem of bettering the district
schools, a call was made for the
number of people in the audience
who had visited their school within
the past year to hold up their hands.
Only fourteen out of probably 400.
And they were all patrons of dis
trict schools. Yet practically every
person in the room had some opin-
ion on the subject of schools; had
some idea they advanced as to
school improvement or offered some
criticism as to the present methods
of teaching in district schools.
Without being present during
school hours for at least year,
how could a patron honestly and
with first-hand knowledge say
whether or not their school was be-
ing conducted as it should be.
1t should be the duty of every
patron of every school to visit at
least one session during each term.
If you do not, how do you profess
to know how the work is progress.
ing? Johnnie may come home and
tell you. but Johnnie may not al.
ways have it just right, even if he
is your child. One of the great
faults with which many parents are
afflicted is to believe their children
in the tales they tell as they come
home from school whereupon sale
parents Immediately start a line Of
gossip over the phone that quickly
spreads over the district, telling
how my Ruth" or "my Johnnie
has been snubbed or abused or put
back in their books by the teacher
without reason or without jus
tice." Hold your tongue regarding
the merits or demerits of the teach
er as to the exact truth of wha

til you visit the school and investi
gate thoroughly and talk thing
over with the teacher. Take you
criticism direct to the teacher in
stead of peddling it all over tn
neighborhood.

New State Progressing

Plans for the creation of new
state out of the ten counties in
northern Idaho were virtually crys-
tallized at Boise this week when a
caucus was held by northern Idaho
members with those from the South
who favor the secession.
The area of the new state is given
as $4,000 square miles, population
10000, assessed valuation $780,
100000 the area left in the old
state 4S,2S8 square miles, popula-
ton 225, 900 and assessed valuation
$24O, 100000. The boundaries of
the new state are Canada on the
north, Montana on the east, Wash
ington and Oregon on the west.
The southern boundary line takes in
Washington and Adams counties,
part of Boise and follows the south
ern boundary line of Idaho county
to the Montana line.
The measure to be introduced
will call for a constitutional conven-
tion to be held in some city in nor
thern Idaho in June of the present
year to draft a constitution for the
proposed state. The signature of
the governor is not necessary, it is
claimed, to pass the resolution and
only the approval of congress is re-
quired, the secession bill going be-
fore that BODY very similar to a
county division bill before the
house.

Deer Coming to Town

Clarence and Jack Bechtol met a
deer in the road about quarter of
a mile from town, as they were
driving up the Bear Creek road last
Sunday morning. They got quite
close to it and could tell that it
was in very poor condition. E..
T. Lundt saw deer, probably the
same one. on the hill side back of
his house Sunday afternoon. Mr..
Lundt lives half way between Ken
drick and Juliaetta. Deer have a
hard time, if they gets away from
the timber and too close to the
settlements, as the dogs run them
for miles. In their weakened con-
dition at this time of the year, it
is hard for them to get away.
Mr.. Roseberry, whose place is on
the edge of town, saw two deer
back of his barn a few days ago.
They took fright and started off
thru ]. I. Mitcham's place. Deer
have an abnormal sense of curiosity
and those near town were probably
investigating some of the exciting
events that have transpired here
during the past few weeks.
