They will be so constructed as to
be safe against one torpedo and
it is believed that two probably
would not sink them.
The manning Of the transports
by bluejackets will release many
men for the cargo vessels opera
ted by the shippingsboard. The
crews of these ships present an
even greater problem than does
the personnel for the navy ships,
but the shipping board is train
ing large forces at several schools
along the coast and expects to be
able properly to man the cargo
carriers as fast as they are built.

Sound Sense.

This from the Wallace Press
Times is the very essence of
sound sense:
The weak-minded persons
who keep on giving Christmas
presents to people to whom they
do not wish to give presents,
simply because other people keep
on giving to them, may now re-
joice.
This year the Christmas mon
ey is being turned into more SEN
sible channels. There are COM
fort kits for the boys in France,
Red Cross donations, money gifts
to buy food and clothing for or
phaned and undernourished kid
dies of the war zones. Nor will
it be forgotten that big payments
on the Liberty bonds will be due
in December and January. The
friends who do not receive the
usual gifts will know it is not be-
cause they are forgotten or dis
regarded, but that this year
Christmas giving has gone where
it was really needed. The friends
themselves have done the same
thing thing.
If the war should add to its
other blessings that of making
sane the Christmas madness, as
it seems likely to, that would be
another compensation.

Stock and Flour Shipments by
the {. N. & f. Go.

The Cottonwood Milling & EIe-
vator Co. a few days ago shipped
a car of hogs to Spokane and also
a car to the stock show at Lewis
ton. The Spokane car brought
SO, 35G for a full carload, while
the 80 head exhibited at Lewis
ton brought 18c pound at the
sale and were bought by Armour
& Co. of Spokane. These hogs
averaged a little under 260 pounds
and were pronounced as fine a
bunch of Duroc Jersey hogs as
were ever shipped off Camas
Prairie. Besides receiving a
check for So, 2,334.60 the Milling
Co. also won the second prize of
$3.50 in the hog exhibit and of
course feels justly proud Of their
success.
The Cottonwood Milling Co. al
so shipped a car of cattle to the
Spokane Union Stockyards this
week, receiving the highest prices
paid.
This company has just shipped
two cars of flour to the South
one to Georgia, the other to Ten
nessee, netting $4,000.
This mill has a capacity of 140
barrels every "a hours, but is
now limited to its pro rata out
put by the government. Mana
ger Meyer informs US that were
it not for this ruling the mill
could grind out from $50 to 700
bushels daily and easily dispose
of all of the wheat delivered at
Cottonwood.

Traitors Being Taken Care Of"

Edward Hofstede, the Orofno
attorney, who was found guilty
of inducing young men to violate
the military registration law,
was sentenced last Tuesday to
one year in the Clearwater coun-
ty Jail. Judge Dietrich, who
pronounced the sentence, said he
would have made it longer were
it not that Hofstede had already
served several months in Jail
while awaiting trial.
Americans are at last waking
up and have concluded to put a
stop to traitorism and disloyalty
toward the government during
the war. Within the last week
at different places throughout the
country more than a score of
traitors who had been in the hab-
it of making disloyal remarks
about our government, were
tarred and feathered and severe
ly beaten by loyal citizens whose
patience had been worn out. In
nearly every case hanging was
threatened if the practice was
continued.
A Boise dispatch dated Nov.
18th, says:
Thirty enraged Boise citizens
piled into automobiles this after
noon and went to the ranch of a
farmer named c. G. Goetling, a
few miles out of town, where
they forced Goetling to kneel in
his own dooryard and kiss the
American flag. The rancher had
been reported as having made
disloyal utterances, and had re-
Gently painted big derrick on

Not satisfied with making Goet-

the Boise vigilante committee
forced the farmer to paint his
derrick with red, white and blue
paint, and also compelled him to
hoist the Stars and Stripes on a
20-foot fiagpole which they took
with them and planted in his
front yard.

TRANSPORTS OP-
GRATED BY NAVY
Civilian Officers and Crews
Replaced by Trained Force.

A Washington dispatch dated
Nov. 14th says:
Blue jackets will man and nav
al officers will command army
transports hereafter.
Officials believe this will insure
more efficient operation of the
ships, particularly in the war
zone, where the strain on a crew
is greatest, and so lessen the
risk of destruction by subma-
rines.
Decision to have the navy op-
crate the transports, announced
today, is believed to have been
hastened by the sinking of the
transport Antilles, manned by
civilians. II was pointed out that
the highly trained and disciplined
naval force is far more effective
than constantly changing civil
ian personnel. This is regarded
as particularly true of the fire
room force, upon which a ships
speed largely depends.
The manning of the transports
will make necessary a large in
crease in the naval personnel and
the general board is understood
to have recommended that con-
gress be asked in December to
authorize an additional $4,000
men, 10000 for the permanent
naval forces and $4,000 for the
period of the war.
With the transports turned
over to the navy, it was decided
to have the shipping board oper-
ate all cargo vessels, including
those carrying supplies for the
armed forces abroad.
Thus was settled a question
between the navy and shipping
board that began with the decis-
ion to build and commander
merchant ships.
In anticipation of the agree
ment today, the navy has been
training men especially for the
transport service and a large
force is understood to be avail
able now. Others will be trained
as rapidly as possible, so that
not only all existing transports
can be manned. but also the new
ones now building. These latter
have been especially designed
and will be much faster than the
standard cargo vessels. They
are planned for a speed of at
least 18 knots.
The high speed will furnish
one protection against subma-
rines, but still another will be
supplied in the ships themselves.

Idaho Troops Perhaps on Way
to France.

American troops now seem to
be reaching France in very much
larger numbers than are general
ly supposed. The department is
transporting them quietly as fast
as ships are available without
giving the slightest indication as
to the purpose. All the state
troops that served on the Mexi-
can border, and many more be-
sides, are probably either now in
France or preparing to go. Ida
no is about ready to sail, and may
even be on the water now. A
dispatch printed yesterday places
Idaho in a regular war organiza-
ton, the 41st division, an Ameri-
can division comprising about
$4,000 men. The Russian and
Italian misfortunes are probably
calling for American troops
earlier and faster than was in
tended in the training schedule,
and they will doubtless be found
on the active front also much
sooner than has been anticipated.

K. C. COUNCIL TO
RAISE WAR FUND
Work Similar to Y. NJ. c. A.
Being Done in Army.

Cottonwood Council No. 1889,
Knights of Columbus, have COM
pleted an organization to solicit
for the three million dollar war
fund being raised by the national
organization. $1,OOO,OOO of the
fund has already been raised
among members throughout the
country. The local lodge at Cot
tonwood will raise $1,000 for this
fund.
The Knights of Columbus have
been granted permission by the
war department to construct rec
reation buildings, similar to the
Y. M. c. A. "huts," at every
army concentration point in
America and in Europe. The
lodge is working hand in hand
with the Y. M. C. A. in providing
amusement for all soldiers re-
gardless of creed. Priests are
also being supplied to look after
the spiritual welfare of Catholic
boys in the fighting forces.
There are approximately 400, 900
members of this faith in fighting
units.
Two hundred volunteer Catho-
lie priests are to be sent abroad
with the armies. This is in addi-
tion to the 181 furnished by the
government as the Catholic quota
of chaplains.
The Knights of Columbus first
established buildings at war
camps a year ago when the
American troops were on the
Mexican border. They received
the commentator of the war de-
partment at that time.
