HONOR MEDALS
FOR DEEDS OF
BRAVERY INWAR.
Action by Congress Elk
pected as Result of Visit
of American congressman
to the Front.
Will Not Displace the Pres
ent Congressional Medal
Of Honor, the Highest Of
All Awards for Gallantry
in Action.

American Field Headquarters in
France, Nov. 21.-One result of the
recent visit of American congressman
to the front may be legislation grant
ing new medals to American soldiers
for deeds of bravery.
1t was reported today that several
of the representatives had announced
their intention to introduce bills at
the December session of congress pro-
viding for two new military decora-
tions.
There was no intention on their part
to displace the present congressional
Medal of Honor as the highest of all
spicuous services in time of war.
TWO MEDALS FAVORED.
But the congressman who favor the
additional awards believe there should
be two new medals for recognition of
expeditionary army heroes-medals
which could be awarded on the field
and which would correspond to the
French croix de guerre and medal mill
taire and the British distinguished SER
vice medal and the military cross.
AS it stands at present American
soldiers bravery can be recognized
only by award of a departmental
medal. or, after passage of a special
act of congress, by the Medal of Honor.
Legislation creating medals Of equal
value to the British. French. Italian
and other allied governments awards
would still further serve to put the
American soldier in the comradeship
of the men he is to be fighting with
henceforth.

FINE FOR ENTIRE VALLEY.

They are impressed that it not only
marks the farther growth and prog
ress of the city, but that it also pre-
sages the development of the entire
Boise valley into the leading dairying
section of the west. Special cars will
be run from two to three times daily
to collect the milk purchased from
the farmers of the various communities
of the valley at their respective milk
depots.
That the industry will give a strong
impetus to the dairying industry
throughout the valley is the opinion
of dairymen in this immediate section.
SEES GREAT FUTURE.
In commenting today upon the de-
cision of his company to locate a plant
in this city, Mr.. Kinzer said: IN
questionably the Boise valley has a
great future as a dairy section and
it is OF this fact that my company has
decided to install a condensery in this
city. The plant will without doubt
prove a strong factor in the develop
ment and progress OF the valley, for
1t will bring ready money into hun
dreds of farm homes. We will give the
dairymen of the valley better mar
ket than they have yet had and the
benefits of our plant will be widely
felt from the beginning of its opera
ton.
From the very beginning Of it's oper-
alton its proportions will be common
surate with all the demands of the
different sections of the valley. / also
want to emphasize the fact that the
farmers of this section will find in
US "a cooperative spirit. There will
be no lack of effort upon our part to
build up the dairying industry and to
make it a source of wealth to this
section"

u YUhN-HUNG FORMER PRESIDENT IS NOW
 A PRISONER

PEKING, August -(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Li Yuan Hung. once President of the Chinese Republic, possesses to day less power here than the lowliest coolie He is a prisoner in the capital of the land over which he once ruled. and for the first and except for that of Prince Wu Vi, he holds no title.
 It is Ii Yuan-Hung's desire to leave Picking and seek rest in Tientsin, but the government has repeatedly denied this request Premier Yuan Chi-jui and acting President Feng Kwo-chang apparently have no intention of allow ing the veteran warrior to depart for any settlement where he would be in a position to communicate with the revolutionists in the south. The gov ernment is said to realize how potent the name of Li-Hung would be were he to be made President of southern Republic such as Sun-Yat-sen, Tang Shao-yi, c. T. Wang and other Kuomin- tang leaders are endeavoring to estab- fish in Canton.
 Since he surrendered the presidency a month ago and allowed General Chang Hsun to take over the central government, Li-Yuan-Hung has divid- ed his time between tt'a French hos pital and his home in the Tartar City, without the walls of the Forbidden City. He also took refuge for short time in the Japanese Legation, and he handsomely rewarded the Japanese soldiers and officers who protected him in the trying period when Repub- licans were busting the boy emperor Hsuan Tung and overthrowing the short-liyed monarchy set up by Chang Hsun.

RICE CROPIN CALL FORNIA VALUED AT
 TEN MILLIONS

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. 17-Af- ter a trip through Sacramento valley rice fields, where practically all of the California rice crop is produced, Jos eph Stevens, president of the Pacific Rice Growers association, has predict ed a rice crop valued at between eight and ten million dollars, this year The acreage will run. between S5,000 and 90,0O0, Stevens says and due to favorable weather conditions and care ful planting the crop promises a large yield per acre.
 Three factors, according to Stevens, entered into the fact that such an en- ormous sum will be realized from rice this year. First, there is increased acreage, second, the promise of a bet ter yield than usual and third, prices promise to be nearly double those of last season.
 Particular attention was paid by Stevens, who was accompanied on his tour by Harris Weinstock, state mar ket director, to the Maxwell Butte City and Biggs districts, where the stand is excellent. Because of warm weather prevailing early in the sum- mer, ripening has come several weeks earlier than usual and in some places cutting already is under way.
 Arrangements are being made by the Pacific Rice Growers with the Southern Pacific company for the con- struction of large warehouse in Sacramento, where a portion of the rice crop may be stored.

4 MAN IS DEAD IF
 COURT SAYS so EVEN
 IF HE'S ALIVE OR NOT
California Judge Says Mans Own Affidavit to Contrary
 Not Admissible
(.4ssociIttCd Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17.-Judge. Fred H. Taft of the Superior Court here has ruled that when the Supreme Court of California says man is dead, he is dead, and his own affidavit to the contrary is not admissible to dis prove his death
 The ruling, said by lawyers to be unique, was made here in connection with the settlemnet of the estate of Thomas Wilcox, who died a few months ago. According to the evi- dence, the widow was thrice married. Her first husband was Albert Broberg, who she wed in 1879, and who disap- peared soon thereafter. Later, she married a Dr. Lehman, who subse- quently brought an annulment action, claiming he had learned Broberg was alive. While the case was in the Su- preme Court on appeal, Dr. Lehman died. Later. the widow married MT. Wilcox.
 Then the Supreme Court held the fact that Broberg was alive had not been established. That ruling validat- ed the subsequent marriages.
 After the death of MT. Wilcox, his son by former marriage was made administrator, and set about establish ing the rights of the heirs He pro- cured an affidavit from Broberg, now in Canada, that he is not dead.
 When the final account was present ed, the affidavit was offered to the court. Then came the ruling that the Supreme Court decision controlled the court, that Broberg was legally dead. and that his affidavit to the contrary could not be received in evidence.

WILFUL WASTE OF FISH
 UPHELD BY THE COURT

The district attorneys office has been informed that the case of teh United States vs. the Alaska Packers Association, for wasting fish on Cook Inlet, had been upheld by the Court Of appeals.
 In this case the cannery people con- tended that only one instance where alleged waste of fish occurred could be shown. while the government had shown a number of cases, passing the case on the combined waste.
 The governments showing was up- held, and also the verdict in which the court denied that 1t was up to the cannery to look out for the conduct of traps.
 The company claimed that the traps where fish were wasted, were put up for and controlled by men with whom they had contract >or fish, and that if the fish were wasted, it was up to the contractor.-Cordova Time.
