WAR ACT|V|T|ES'ARE
UNDER DISCUSSION
LEADERS OF LOCAL ORGANIZAs
TIONS WORK IN COMPLETE
HARMONY

War activities in Latah county were
again at the front at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting on Tuesday.
Francis Jenkins told of the recent ac-
tion of the board of directors of La
tab County Protective association. 1t
was decided by this organization to
cooperate fully with the County COun-
Gil of Defense along the lines sug-
gested by the council.
NJ. E. Lewis, chairman of the County
Council Of Defense announced that the
executive committee would meet eve
ry Monday afternoon at 4 O'Clock and
he requested that all who have mat
ters to present them in person at that
time or refer them to member of the
committee at any other time. Chair
man Lewis said there had been calls
for the organization of vigilanteS
committees in the county. He thought
that Latah county had now organiza-
tions enough to handle any situation
that might arise. He said the Latah
County Protective association would
be called upon for the performance of
any police duties that might other
wise be handled by vigilantes.
F. D. Hawley, formerly of Genesee
and now of Moscow, brought up the
matter of the organization of Boy
Scouts. He discussed the subject at
some length. The chamber indorsed
the proposal and voted to lend Mr.
Hawley all possible assistance in the
matter

ROCK CREEK BRIDGE
MAKES ROAD SAFER
INLAND EMPIRE COMPLETES GOOD
PIECE OF WORK AT
BIG COST

Reconstructed virtually from base
to rails, the big railway bridge across
Rock creek. % miles south of Spokane
is now in use by the Spokane & In
land Empire Railway company with
out fear of damage during the spring
freshets and with stability and safety
assured in it's passenger service, ac-
cording to Waldo G. Paine, vice pres
| ident and traffic manager
To cost $4,000 to rebuild the bridge
in which it was necessary to use 1,135,-
900 feet of timber, 10000 pounds of
steel 1924 cubic yards of concrete and
if required excavation of 1886 cubic
yards of rock and 1884 cubic yards of
earth. The structure is 1855 feet in
length. 1t has maximum height of
1876 feet, which is nearly equal to the
height of the Paulsen building in Spo-
kane.
"The bridge was originally built in
1906 by A. M. Lupfer, chief engineer
of the railway" said Mr.. Paine, "and
although placed in a most difficult po-
sition in which to hold such long
and high structure it has withstood the
menace of spring floods without an
accident.
"Rock creek canyon has steep slopes
and when the snow melts it brings a
flood of water and driftwood against
the bridge, augmented by the natural
ly increased flow of water in the creek
at that time
"The company decided year ago to
make the bridge safe for all time to
come. We put in heavy concrete ma
sonry on rock foundations to sup
mort the towers and carried these
foundations five feet above the highest
known mark of the flood waters. This
necessitated a Howe truss span $50
feet long to avoid building treslte
in the stream center The truss span
is carried by heavy timber towers
braced and. tied together
with steel plates.
Passengers on the line can now be
absolutely sure of safety at all times
of the year and the company officials
believe that this assurance will be
worth the high cost of the bridge. We
now believe the danger Of accidents is
o1;r,;n otod forever

GORGAS STARTS !.
BIG CAMP TALK
SANITARY CONDITIONS AT MOB
ILIZATION POINTS IN FOR
OVERHAULING

WASHINGTON-S Secretary of Wal
Baker stated that orders had been
issued making effective Surgeon Gen.
eral Gorgas's recommendations for
the alleviation of conditions causing
disease in the American army camps.
Surgeon General Gorgas's statement
was quickly followed by one from
the chief O. staff
Congressional committees contem-
plate Investigating why the condition
existed. The surgeon generals state
ment said that Camp Funston's death
rate was due to the unsanitary sur
roundings recall that during the Sc
lection of camp sites the department
was subjected to the strongest polite
al pressure. Apparently some of the
decisions were affected by this. One
of the main troubles is the incomplete
ness of the hospitals. There is no ap-
parent reason why the hospitals
should not have been completed long
ago.

Share in Savings

If the youngsters do take up the
saving idea, what share of the task
of raising $2,O0O,O0O,0O0 through the
sale Of war savings certificates can
they manage?
Take the figures: There are young
sters in some 100000 of American
homes. If the certificates are to be
evenly distribute, each American
home ought to buy $100 of them.
Give the family kids six months and
the enthusiastic purpose to save for
certificates, and the whole $2,000,000,-
900 would be accounted for.
When youth really feels the urge of
necessity it accomplishes the big
things.
Do you want to test this theory in
your own family? It's a fine chance.

YOUNG FOLKS
Do BIG THINGS
HOW THEY ARE TO PLAY AN I'M
P0RTANT PART IN WINNING
THE WAR
BY JOHN M. OSKISON

| was talking with major in the
British army the other day, and he
spoke of a certain fight early in the
war, 1t was one of those heroic occa-
sions when British troops had to stand
outnumbered and outgunned five to
one.
1T was pretty bad,'' said the major.
You know in a tight place like that
the youngster seems to do wei. Let
me tell you: One of the battalions OF
a thousand men, fighting close to my
own, got into a specially tight place.
When the fight was over, just go
men of that battalion came back, led
by a subaltern of 18. There were left
just those go men and two other Off
GERS, boys junior to my young friend
"Yes," said the major again, "the
boys seem to do the big things
Boy Leads Them Back
That boy who at 18 brought the
remnants of his battalion back is now
not quite 21. He is a major and lead
er of battalion.
So much for the trench illustration
/ wish to suggest another picture of
youth enlisted in the nations fight to
save.
The other day when the campaign
opened to market the small war sa-
wings certificates, the first special ap-
peal went to the school children.
Youths Can Help
"If," said the secretary of the treas
ury, every boy and girl says at home
tonight: will fight in this war, I
will save every penny and lend it to
my government to help save the lives
of the big brothers of America, will
try to teach every American I see to
do the same then 20,000000 homes,
the homes of all America, will be
filed with the spirit of rs, the spirit
of the drummer boys, of the brave1
girls of those days"
How to save has been answered.
No girl or boy in America needs to
look beyond the home postoffice or
the corner drug store for the means
10 save. The 25-cent stamps, to be ac-
until enough are on hand ,
% exchange for S. certificate, are
IN sale everywhere. ;
