CLAMP is CARPENTERS AID
New Device Designed to Hold Siding
in Place While the First Nail
Is Being Started.

It 3 difficult for q man to nail siding
on a house because he must hold the
board in place while starting the first
nail, as well az when marking and
cutting the stock. A device made OF
a steel bar fitted to a weighted section
of pipe overcomes this difficulty, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. The
end of the bar is hooked up to the stud
ding and clamps the board securely.
The clamp is made as follows: Pro-
cure a piece of soft galvanized steel
bar u by 1 by 80 inches. Bend it
together IA inches from one end, and
then bend the shorter part to right
angle, inches from the end. Stud
ding is usually IL by 3A inches, and
the end of the longer part of the bar
should be bent to this shape so as
to hook around the studding.
Allowance must be made for the
thickness of the siding-usually rs
inch-and " inches additional to give
a proper elamping force. The handle
is piece of pipe, 7 inches long After
fitting it over the folded bar, weight
it with about three pounds of lead.
When the piece of siding is to be
fitted into place, hook the clamp on
the studding and drop it to bind. 1t
will hold boards while marking and
saving them. For long boards, place
the clamp near the middle, and slide
| boards under it.

Grand Opera Climax.

her mother took the little girl to Call

the killings benefit the music machine
was started and the hostess went
through her list of records from ITS

Little Tip From Father" to "The
Jewel Song" from Faust" The last
record was the "Miserere" from 81

1t is tuneful selection in spite of the
mournful name. The grand climax Of
the selection, with all the opera stars

FEDERAL AID SECURE
Bill Being Drafted for Intro
duction Into Legislature
This Week.

The state highway commission, after
conference with the road and bridge
committees of the legislature and
Lawrence l. Hewes, of Portland, Ore,
designated agent OF the government
to arrange for the disbursement of
rural post road funds in the states of
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, yes
terday decided to reduce its request to
the legislature for highway funds to
flat S1,000,000 instead OF 81 100000 A
bill is now being drafted for introduc-
ton into the legislature this week
showing the distribution Of this fund
Owing to the fact that $500,000 had
to be cut out of the budget that had
been compiled, joint conference was
arranged. The post road money only
applies on star mail routes and the
government appropriates dollar for
dollar for the state appropriation but
no more. There is $340,000 Of this fund
to be expended in Idaho during the
nextN two years. providing the state
makes an equal appropriation.
TO Secure Federal Aid
Mr.. Hewes discussed the apportion-
ment of Idahos share with the high
way commissioners and members of the
legislative committee. Accordingly the
budgets that had been compiled on a
$1.500000 basis were revised scaled
down and drafted so that all Of the
money Idaho is entitled to under the
post road act can be taken advantage

MRS. HARRY NORRIS BADLY
BURNED.

The friends of Mrs. Harry Norris In
Grangeville will be sorry to learn of
the painful accident which she met
with at her home In Lewiston on Tues
day If this week; but they will be
pleased to know that under the cir
crmstances ii was no worse. The Tri-
bune of Wednesday says:
Mrs. Harry Morris, wife of Con-
ductor Harry Morris, was painfully
burned yesterday morning by the ex-
plosion of gasoline in which she was
washing dress materials.
Mrs. Norris had exercised all pre-
cautions in handling the gasoline, but
while washing the goods n ring she
was wearing struck. against the me-
tallic side of the container, causing
spark, and the gasoline was ignited
Before Mrs. Morris could escape from
the flames she was severely burned
about the hands and arms, the left
hand and arm being the more severe
ly burned.
Mr.. and Mrs Morris reside at the
Nave apartments and occupants of
the building rushed to Mrs. Morris
assistance. 1t is doubtless due to their
prompt response that Mrs Morris
was saved from more serious injuries
and the spread of the fire was pre-
vented.
Mrs. Morris was reported resting
very comfortably last evening, and.
while her injuries are regarded as
quite serious, the view is expressed
by her physician that no permanent
injury will result

RUNAWAY.

While Mrs. J. +. Manning was hold
ing their team of highly mettled horses
last Saturday which they had driven
to town from their ranch northwest
of here, the animals became restive and
finally ran away. They made circuit
through the north part OF town and in
turning the corner at the Marshall
Eames residence near the old mill site
the sleigh was overturned and Mrs.
Manning thrown out, sustaining a num-
ber of severe bruises, but escaping
without fatal injury or broken bones.
The injured lady was picked up and
carried to the Eames home where
Dr. Slusser was called TO minister to
her injuries. At this time Mrs. Man

scattered Mormon settlements In Utah.
Appeal for protection from the In
dims was made to General Sherman,
commanding troops at Salt Lake, and
reply was sent that he was unable to
afford protection, all troops at his
command being needed to guard the
mail lines. Left to their own re-
sources, the MormOns organized COM
panies of militia in each settlement
and held the Indians at bay.
For some reasons claims afterward
presented were never reimbursed by
the federal government Apparently
they were not vigorously pressed For
one thing, 1t is known that they were
made out in the names of individuals
who had not actually furnished the
supplies. This was because the actual
provider of the supplies was the Nor
mon church, 1t is said, and the church
was so much in disfavor in other
parts of the country that any effort
to reimburse it portended a storm
So, while other Indian fighting
organizations were recognized through
reimbursement to the states, Utah vol
unteers were not, and because their
names are not borne on the federal
records they would receive no pensions
under the Keating bill as it passed
the house.
The. Smoot amendment to pay these
Mormon fighters which was tackled
on in the senate, made trouble as soon
as the bill went into conference The
house conferees were unwilling to ac-
cept 1t, and threatened to scaln the
whole bill unless it were dropped
Smoot refused to drop it, and the
other senate conferees moved by SEN
atorial courtesy, stand behind him.
1t is recalled in this connection that
Utah gave an uncanny Democratic
majority in the late election, and de
feated Smoot's Republican colleague.
Smoot himself will need all the help
he can get next time. Heap wampum
will be added to his store if he can
get $40 a month for between 1000 and
5000 of the early Mormon warriors
or their widows and can say that he
did ii all with his own tommyhawk.
In this situation the matter stands
A majority of the house conferees are
said to he resolved to. let the bill
perish rather than accept the Smoot
amendment They say that they have
gone the limit in agreeing to grant
Indian war pensions for service of 30
days when Civil war veterans are re-
fuired to have served 80 days. To
open up the principle Of allowing SER
vice to be shown by state archives,
they say, would be going too far
At least two of the house conferees
are not enamored of Indian war pen
sion legislation anyway, at least on
such broad lines as the present bill.
and 1t is thought they will waste no
tears If the measure fails as result
of Smoot's refused to yield.
Representative Keating who intro
duced the house bill, says he Mas little
hope of passing the bill. in another
congress If this one fails Only by
careful strategy was the bill brought
up and passed at the last session. and
there is no proverbial Indian luck in
congress.
