- policy is to be one OF blood

whether they be troops or civil
ians, which are atlemptiDo to nul-
lily all that has been gained BY
the reYOlution il fonentino dis
order among the troops at the
front and to rouse a sentiment
at home in favor Of a separate
peace. Pro-Germanism whether
overt or covered is to be discour-
aged by the most severe mea-
sures that can be brought into
play.
At the demand Of the military
capital punishment was reinstat-
ed as a form Of punishment yes

courts-martial before which all
traitors are to be tried to pass
and enforce the execution of the
death sentence which has not
been possible since the revoIu-

It is reported that General
kornilotf yesterday took drastic
steps to check the disaffection OF
the troops at the front and to en-
force new morale for the one
which had been destroyed by re-
cent Vaccinations OF the extrem-
lists. He has ordered his faithful
troops to fire upon and If neces-
Sary to charge and cut to pieces

These measures may check the
disorder that yesterdays reports
show to be prevailing upon a
large portion OF the Russian front

May Set Prisoners
Breaking Rocks
COMMISSIONERS CONSIDERING
Believe This Would Tend To Stop BOOtlcssIn9
And Save County Money

There has been a slight re-
ductiOn in the number of inmates
In the county Jail. Four have
served their sentences and been
discharged within the past few
days and four more will be dis
charged in the near future. All
.Of these men were serving time
for bootlegging. Ten prisoners
Will still remain, among whom
are the six who were sentenced
today for bootlegging.
OF the remaining four, three
are awaiting trial at the next term
of the district court on the same
charge and one is held for rob
berry. 1t now seems probable
that the charge against the lat
ter will be dismissed and he viii
be discharged.
1t will be noticed that prac-
tically all who now are or have
been lately confined in the coun-.
ty Jail are bOOtleggers. This
species of crime is very expensive
to the county and the probler. Of
how to meet it is troubling the
authorities. To the class OF
men who engage in bootlegging,
short Jail sentence with the
privileges which they have en-
joyed here is no punishment as
they are provided with better ac-
comodations than they ordinarily
enjoy and have no work to do.
The commissioners have been
discussing the subject and have
practically decided to put all pris-
oners at work on a rock pile. The
crushed rock can be used on the
roads and even if their work has
very little value to the county it
will serve to make a Jail sentence
less attractive.

TAKES COLD BATH

George Mason, lumberiack
who has been employed at Black

escape from drowning Friday
morning. He had been drink
hard during the evening and
about three O'Clock in the morn
ing went down the river to En-
pey's boat house, where he
reused Mr.. Empey by prowling

ing into the boat channel.
His cries brought out Mr.. En-
'pey Mr.. Hye, and others living
'along the river, who procured a

hook, succeeded in effecting a
rescue. Mason was nearly dead
from exposure and Officer J. X.
Booth worked over him for over
an hour before he brought him
around.

The distance between the skid

simply pinned between the logs.

he was brought to this city and
taken to the st. Maries Hospital.

The board authorized Commits

ulated by the statute.

w. P. Romans, travelling sec
reary for the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce, was in the city We'd
nesday making arrangements to
secure data for advertising this
section. The Milwaukee railroad
company is preparing its adver-
tising matter for the coming sea-

tising the agricultural resources

Road OVerSOerS
Are Appointed
PURVIS APPOINTED ROAD SUPERVISOR
Road OVerSeerS will Meet With Commissioners
To Discuss Road Building

The board of county commits
sioners has been in session since
Monday and will probably con-
tinue in session the remainder of
the week. The time Monday was
taken up with the organization of
the board and the swearing in
of the county officers, approving
their bonds etc.
Tuesday and Wednesday were
spent in looking over and audit
ing bills. Owing to the election
there was a much larger number
than the usual quarterly amount
and it was a hard task to go over
and examine them all.
The time Thursday was devoted
largely to road matters. Coun-
ty Surveyor L. E. Purvis was ap-
pointed county road supervisor
and his salary for that office was
fixed at 500 per year. His sal.
airy as surveyor is $500 per year
and this gives him a total salary
of $500 a year for the two Of
fees. The resolution appointing
him road supervisor provides
that all sums which he may re-
ceive for doing private wors
shall be turned over to the cOun-
ty.
The question of road over
seers for the different road dis
tricts was the taken up. The
commissioners feel that the Gus
tom adopted last year of holding
an advisory election at which the
voters named the overseer, his
appointment being ratified by
the commissioners, had not
proved entirely satisfactory. In
some instances one portion Of the
district would be arrayed against
another and the successful can
didate was quite apt to spend al
of the money in his particular To-
cality. Other overseers seemed
to think that because they haC
been the choice of the people they
we're not responsible to the com
rnissioners and persisted in ig-
noring their requests and or
ders.
For these reasons the commits.
sioners determined to name tn,
Overseers themselves and holC
them directly responsible to th'
board. The appointments were
considered carefully, it being thl
aim Of the commissioners to ap-
point men who would be able t.
get the largest amount Of wOrl
possible for the money expended
The following are the names o
the Overseers appointed:
, District No. I Alex Gordon.
District No. 2, Chas. Kongler.
, District No. 3, L. M. Thompson

PLAN UNIFORM BASIS
FOR ASSESSMENT

The assessors of the state of
Idaho will be called together the
latter part of the present month
in Boise for the purpose Of hold
ing a conference with the state
board of equalization regarding
the assessment of property over
the state. Governor Alexander
announced that it is his desire.
the desire of members of the
board Of equalization and of the
assessors to assess property in
the state on a fair basis and that
it was hoped that when the con-
ference takes place some definite
plans for assessment can be de-
termined upon.
While no definite date has been
set, the fourth Tuesday Of this
month has been suggested and it
it probable that the assessors
will meet in Boise at that time.
What we want TO arrive at is
a fair means Of assessing prop
erty in this state as provided by
law" said the governor. Il am
convinced that a conference Of
the assessors with the members
of the state board Of equalization
will result in much good and for
\ that reason have decided to is
4sue a call for one"
The assessors expect to go in
to the field within a short time,
and therefore desire an early
conference. If they meet in Boise
this month they will have the ad-
vantage of Governing while the
Legislature is in session consid-
ering taxation matters.

Mclaughlin Has
Narrow Escape
BREAKS THROUGH ICE
Was Trying To Rescue Son. Both Nearly Ex-
housted When Taken From Water

Chas. Mclaughlin and his son
Samuel, living a short distance
southeast of the city, met with an
accident Wednesday which near
ly proved fatal.
Mr.. Mclaughlin had started for
LindstrOm's ranch and when he
reached the river he found that
one of his cows, in trying to
drink, had slipped into the river.
He returned to the house to get a
saw with which to cut a channel
TO get the COW out and his son
Samuel, a boy about 16 years of
age, accompanied him back to
the river. A few days before
Mr.. Mclaughlin had been cutting
ice there and the place from
which the ice had been taken had
frozen over.
The boy ran out on this new
ice toward the COW and it broke
with him precipitating him into
the river. When his father
went to his assistance the ice
again broke, throwing him into
the water. When they attempt
ed to climb out they found the
ice too thin to bear their weight
and it continually broke as they
tried to climb upon it. The water
at this place is about 5 feet deep
and all they could do was to cling
to the edges and call for help.
Mrs. Mclaughlin heard their
cries and went to their assist
ance but could do nothing to help
them. She then returned to the
house and telephoned Mr.. Lind
strom of the accident and he has
tened to their assistance. His
house is about three quarters of
a mile from the scene of the ac-
cident and when he arrived both
Mr.. Mclaughlin and his son were
almost exhausted from exposure
in the icy water.
Mr.. Mclaughlin was in the
worse condition of the two and it
was with difficulty that he could
cling to the ice until his rescuers
could reach him. He collapsed
upon being taken out and had to
be carried to the house.

from outside the city. The or

impressions, and was secured by

A similar order, although
somewhat larger, was received
