AN AGED AND HONORED
 CITIZEN LAID TO REST
Dr. ]. A. Norris Came to Polk County Forty Years Ago and Hundreds Felt HonOred to Call Him
 Their Friend.

The funeral services for Dr. J. A. Norris, who passed away at his home near Yocana at fl o'clock Thursday morning, were held Friday afternoon at ? o'clock a. the Yocana cemetery. The services were con- ducted by Elder R. P. Mckinley of the Church of Christ in God.
 Doctor Norris had reached the age of S6 years and months, having been born in Marshall county, Ala bama, on December i2, 1880. In iS46 he moved with his family to Mississippi, and there on March fl, 1852, he was married to Miss Aman- da Abernathy. To this union nine children were born, and oi these, six survive the father. Mrs. Norris died about tS years ago. The sur viying children are R. l.. and W. A. Norris of this county, Mrs. S. k. Hancock of Gerty, Ok, Mrs. B. NJ. Green of Maud, Ok, Mrs. J. N. Hil- ton of 0ctavia, Ok, and Mrs. Ira Williams of this city.
 Mir. and Mrs. Norris left Missis- sippi in January, 1878, on an overland journey to Polk county, reaching here in April of the same year, the trip having been made with mule and OK teams. Dr. Norris home steaded the place on which he con- tinued to live until about i5 years ago, and which.is is now owned by his son, Robert.
 During his early life, MT. Norris was a contractor, but later he stud jed medicine and was admitted to the practice, continuing in the pro- fession until about i5 years ago, at which time he left the old home- stead and moved to the farm where he lived until his death. Here he established gin, grist mill and saw mill, and the place became known thruout the county as Norris Mill. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and had been for about 60 years.
 About two years after the death of his first wife, Dr. Norris was re- married to Mrs. Dora Beach, and to this union one daughter and two sons were born. The daughter died in infancy. The sons, Emmett and Wood, are still at home with their mother. In addition to the wife, four sons and four daughters, Dr. Norris is survived by B grandchil- dren and B great grandchildren. To these he leaves the priceless heri- tage of hfe well spent--a pure, helpful and well-rounded life, that will be an inspiration not only to the relatives but to all the neigh bors and friends with whom he came in contact in business and social life. There are many, many men in Polk county who are proud to say, 'Dr. Norris was my friend"

COLEMAN FINALLY SET FREE
Communication by Former Board Up
held by Local Court

BOISE, Feb. 23.-Fred NJ. Coleman
is free. After having served a term
of two years and two months in the
Idaho penitentiary of from two and
half to ten years for self-confessed
embezzlement of $4,000 from the
state treasury while he was deputy
state treasurer, Coleman yesterday
left the prison walls behind him. The
gates of the penitentiary swung out
ward to him by virtue of decree by
Judge Mccarthy of the district court
acting upon writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that Coleman was be-
ing illegally detained because the
former state pardon board had com
muted his sentence to expire about
ten days ago, notwithstanding the re-
vocation of the order by the present
hoard.

LUMBER OUTPUT
WILL BE LARGE

| The 1917 output of the POtlatch
Lumber company will be 175,000 900
feet, or 1875 cars, according to an es-
innate made by W. D. Humiston, as
sistant general manager This is Suf-
ficient to build 1000 large frame
| houses. Mr.. Humiston estimates that
the amount paid out annually in wages
by the company is equal to twice the
value of the, Latah county hay and
forage crops; one-sixth of all salar-
les and wages paid by Idaho industr-
les; or one-fourth of the value of all
winter wheat produced in the state.
The company has two large mills,
one at Elk River and one at Potlatch,
which is said to be the largest saw
mill in the world The Potlatch mill,
which is usually operated the year
around, night and day, is at present
running only eight hours on account
of the shortage of cars in which to
SHIP the completed product to dis
trimuting markets. The Elk River
mill operates about nine months OF
the year and runs. two 10-hour shifts
as far as possible.
In the company's best year 200.OOO,-
600 feet OF lumber were cut, an
amount equal. to 5000 cars or an
average of 80 cars a day for each OF
the 300 working days in the year.
The combined cut for both mills
last year was l75,OoO'oOO feet the
same as is planned for this year.
This lumber If cut into six-inch
boards, one inch thick, and laid end
to end, Mr. Humiston estimates, would
circle the earth at the equator two
and a half times and leave enough to
reach from Spokane to Boston and ex-
tend out in the Atlantic ocean nearly
1000 feet Or sidewalk 10 feet
wide along the international bound
airy between Canada and the United
States could be constructed from 1t.

assigned to France"
The British people, the former pre-
mier asserted must make enormous
sacrifices in order to achieve victory.
He predicted that the nations grit
is to be sorely tried within the next
few weeks.
1--WE must find more ships at any
cost" he declared. THE government
hopes to effectively dispose of the
submarine question but cannot de-
pend On this hope. That we will have
no victory until the submarines are
sure"
He proposed that parliament stop
all non essential imports on conn.,
modities including timber, of which
there is a growing shortage, and ad-
mitted in the course of his address
that food stocks in Great Britain are
now at. the lowest point in his recol-
lection.
Restrictions on imports are affect
ing every British household. Imports
have decreased 20000,0O0 tons since
the beginning of the war.
Italy and France are begging for
more ships. Lloyd George admitted
that "a considerable portion of our
tonnage has been destroyed by sub
marines"
