COUNTY COURT.

We understand that the county court
purchased the building in Copperhill for
merly occupied by the Miners Supply
Co., paying $4,000 for it.
The purpose is to use it as jail and
Justice of the Peace office.
The court turned down the expense ac-
connt of Sheriff Lillard and his deputies
for guarding prisoners to and from Ben
ton and while here. As these claims have
heretofore been allowed without question,
the question now is, why were these par
ticular claims turned down?
These prisoners we're convicted at the
last term of court and were ordered taken
to Benton by the courr and why the Sheriff
and his deputies are called upon to pay
such expenses is not apparent. 1t was
never done in Democratic sheriff s time
and there seems to be no reason why it
shonld be done now.
Several other things occurred that are
open to question, but we haven't the data
on matters sufficient to 60 into details.

GERMANY INVITES EXILED
 BEI,GIANS BACK TO HOMES

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-Germany has notified Holland that Belgian work men deported from the province of Antwerp will be given the option of returning to their homes in Belgium. and, if unable to find work there. of removing to Holland or returning to Germany. This step is taken in consequence of Hollands representr !. tions based on the invitation of the military governor of Antwerp in Oct ober, 1914. addressed to Belgian fugi tives in Holland.
 The military governor assures the fugitives that if they returned they would not be drafted for forced la bor for Germany. The German communication explains that these as- surances were given under quite diff ferent circumstances from the present and under the expectation that the war would be a matter of months only, but that Germany has decided to acknowledge and respect them.

BIG GOLD DREDGE
 BREAKS ALL RECORDS

The spectacle of a pOnderous gold dredge, perfect dreadnaught of the Arctic churning necessarily in icy waters and turning up daily and washing perfectly thousands of cubic yai)ds of auriferous gravels, may be seen in the Klondyke valley, seven miles from Dawson. The big machine is the Canadian Klondyke Company's mammoth dredge No. 2, the largest in the world. The dredge has been working without interruption since repairs on her were completed and she started up last fall. During the last winter the big ship has been sub mitted to the severest test respecting temperature ever recorded in the his tory of the world. During four days the thermometer at the dredge regis tered 56 to 66 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. During that period no more time was lost than on ordinary days. The remarkable performance of No. 2 in this instance no doubt will be matter of great interest to the dredge men the world over and will be of great encouragement to others who look on the North as possible field for exploitation.

GERMANY WARNS NEUTRAlS
 RUTHLESS SUB. CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. l. The semi-officially announced plan Of Germany to draw a cordon of subma- rines about the British Isles. begin ming February 1, and waging the most relentless war against British or neutral shipping or leaving British ports, was officially confirmed last evening when the German Ambassa- dor, Count von Bernstorff, handed to Secretary of State Lansing the Ger man reply to President Wilson s speech, identical to that handed to Gerard and the other neutral diplo- mats in Berlin. The note states that the peace proposals made by Ger many have been rejected in their en- tirety by the Entente Allies, leaving no opportunity for the establishment of negotiations for peace. This leaves but one path for the Central Powers to pursue. and that is to wage warfare on land and sea until the Entente Powers shall be brought to realiza- tion that Germany and her allies will continue the war to victorious con clusion. and dictate terms of peace which shall forever establish the su- premacy of Germany in Europe and insure the freedom of the seas to all nations.
 In this connection Germany warns the United States and the other reu- tral nations that every restriction has been removed against the use of ev- cry and all implements of warfare on both land and sea. The United States is requested to warn the owners and masters of all American ships against entering the restricted zones, as well as warn American passengers from travelling on ships destined or sailing from ports within the restricted area.
 Germany lays the failure of the proposed negotiations for peace to her adversaries lust for conquest. Tn" note expresses complete accordance of Germany with the sentiments and aims set forth by the President in his recent speech before the United States Senate The note also urges the Uni ted States to cooperate in impl ess- ing Germany's adversaries of the in humanity of the food blockade which has been maintained against Ger many and which now compels Ger many to adopt the same ruthless means of reprisal.
