"Why-Of course what the world

A. w. WendOrf manager Of
the Milwaukee Land company at
st. Joe, was in the city Wednes-
day. He returned Monday from
a trip which extended east as
far as New York. He stopped at
Chicago and also visited rela-
tives and friends at his former
home in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Wendorf stated that where
he had been he had found the
sentiment practically unanimous
in support of the stand taken by
the president on the German
question. He stated that Jeffer-
son county, Wisconsin, has been
strongly in favor Of the Germans
in the present war, nearly all of
the inhabitants being of German
descent. However, since the
recent destruction of American
lives and vessels and the evidence
of Germany's attempt to bring
this country into war with Japan
and Mexico the sentiment there
has changed completely. The
former German sympathizers are
now all Americans and are solid
ly behind the president

Look out for the dust. Now:
Treason against the Uni

in levying war against them,
or in adhering to their enc

Far enough, surely. Short,
strong, simple. Only twenty
four words. But each word
weighs a thousand tons. May
the day soon come when the full
weight of these words will be felt
by every senator who, in this
hour Of gravest crisis, tries to tie
the hands of this nation; by every

FEAR DANGER FROM
EXTREME HIGH WATER

The warm weather, rain and
Chinook wind of the past few
days have combined to melt the
snow rapidly and it is fast disap-
.pearing in the lower levels and
hillsides. The river is steadily
rising although so far very slow
| ly. The ice between here and |
the lake is moving out and it |
will be only a few days until the |
river is entirely clear.
The snow in the hills has not
begun to melt yet and it is when
that starts that danger from
floods is feared. Old residents
say that never since they have
been in the country has the snow
been deeper in the mountains at
this time of the year than it is
this spring and it is getting so
late that it is generally feared
the snow will go off practically all
at once. If this happens it will
mean a flood equal to that of 1894
when conditions were very SINH
lar to this year.
NJ. r. Roberts Of Clarkia was in
the city Wednesday. He is very
apprehensive of danger from high
water and was on his way home
from Wallace, where he had been
to urge upon the commissioners
of ShOshOne county the necessity
Of taking immediate steps to pro-
| tect the bridges in the vicinity of
= Clarkia. He states that never
in the twenty years he has been
in this section has he seen con-
ditiOns as dangerous as they are
this year.

six feet deep on the level around

ment Of that locality, who states

are DESTROYS of obtaining iinan-

The Exchange National Bank,

communities desiring to pur-
chase pure bred sires for the
length of two years at the rate
of 6 per cent, providing that the
purchasers are of sufficient fl
nancial standing to warrant this
credit, and that the interest be
paid every six months, one-half
o. the purchase price TO be paid
at the end of the first year, and
the other half at the end of the
second year. I'm case q com
munity purchased more than one
animal we would ask that the di-
rectors. who must be men of f.
nancial standing and character,
sign these notes and be respon-
sible for the purchase price of
the animals, thereby eliminating
any collections fees or other
expenses that might be incurred
and which we would have to pay
