allies.

war council composed of representa-
tives of the United States. Great

Cners.
Along the entire Italian front the
batteries of the contending armies are
maintaining violent bombardrlent
but no infantry actions OF Importance

JUDGE ADRIAN NELSON

Hearty commentator is heard on all sides over the
elevation of Adrian Nelson to the position probate
judge of this county.
If there is doubt to the wisdom of combining Of
Offices making the probate judge of ex-offcio
clerk of the district court and if it is that
system does not well, it is matter that can be
easily changed in the future by the board of county
commissioners. The object the commissioners had in
viewto coordinate the work of the county officials
their deputies and make saving salary expenses
will meet with the hearty approval of the entire
county.
AS to the selection of Mr. Nelson for probate Judge
there will be adverse criticism. On the contrary
there will be general praise Mr. Nelson we'll versed
in law, he knows conditions the county as
few other men know them he is good citizen in all
that term implies; he is a of family and will
know how to deal wisely and in spirit of sympathy
with those who need guidance; he is trustworthy
to have the handling intricate delicate mat
tiers growing out of the settlement of estates.
Viewed from every standpoint Latah county just-
fed in congratulating herself and thanking COM
missioners for the appointment of Judge Nelson.

BUFFALO BILL NOT WORRIED
Scout Quickly Solved the Problem Of
How to Keep Scion of Royalty
on His Horse.

''In the seventies, when Buffalo Bill
was in his glory as a hunter and
scout" correspondent tells me, 81
was ranching out on the great plains
in Colorado, and often heard men talk
of him. The Grand Duke Alexis paid
us a flying visit about that time, ac-
companied by a train of Russian
thorities, who were particularly anx-
ious to do for them as well as possible,
arranged that they should be taken
for a great buffalo hunt, and very SEN
sibly put Bill Cody in charge. Bill
gave Alexis his own favorite buffalo
horse to run the game on, and, skilled
hunter as he was, Bill did not take
very long to find them plenty Of buff
falo to chase. Naturally there was
a troop of cavalry along for the pro-
lection of these important visitors, as
the Sioux, Arapahoes and Cheyennes
were then hostile, and keen to take
the scalps of any unlucky white men
they could corral. While the hunt was
in full swing United States cavalry

To Prevent Iron Rust.
A16-M6

The one peculiar quality that all iron
or it's products presents is the manner
Of it's furnishing by the air, or rather
the moisture and oxides of the air. This
tarnish, unlike that of other metals,
does not adhere closely to the iron, but
scales off and is commonly called rust
Thus any object made of iron which
rusts is constantly exposing new sur
faces Of metal, so that the process
goes on and on unless it is checked.
There are two methods of preventing
iron rust. One is to keep the metal dry
and highly polished, as polished sur
face does not give place for any mois-
ture particles to adhere. Knives, tin
ware, stovepipes, etc., which are kept
polished will not rust. The other
method to prevent rusting is to cover
the metal with a coating of oil, wax,
paint or similar substance. For In
stance, metal parts that are treated
with oil or are lacquered or covered
with vaseline will not rust because this
oily coating prevents the air from
coming in contact with the IRON

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THE FACTS

Every citizen of Moscow should take few min

Aside from the fine showing it makes as to the

this report will go toward answering some of the
bitter criticisms aimed at this official by citizens who
are impatient work they desire done at once.
There is limit as to what any do, and this
report will convince all critics that Engineer Smith
