THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN


Whose husband is forever subscrib-
ing to every cause that has an adher-
ent who can find his office and ask
him for money. Nearly every eve
ing he brings home tickets to some
entertainment that neither the hus-
band nor the wife cares to attend. and
his bill for helping one cause or an
other last month ran so high his wife
became alarmed for fear she would
have to ask aims before the public got
thru with her easy-going, good natured
husband. MY dear" she told him
when she saw his last purchase of
tickets, Il wish you would employ the
services of a first class blacksmith
Get him to rivet your clothes to you
good and tight, or 1 am afraid some
ticket seller or subscription list passer
will surely get them away from you.

HoLScLAW AXIS AID
TO HANDLE l. w. w.

Prosecuting Attorney Allen A.
Holsclaw has written to Governor
Alexander at Boise asking him to
use his influence with the govern
ment officials to take over the
men now confined in the stockade
near this city. Mr.. Holsclaw pro-
poses that the aliens who are be-
ing held should be depOrted and
the remainder of the prisoners
held by the government as pris-
Oners of war. OF the thirty Eight
men now confined in the stOckade,
sixteen are aliens who have not
declared their intention of be-
coming American citizens, and
Mr.. Holsclaw feels that the cOun-
ly should be relieved of the ex-
'pense of caring for these men.
He said: 81 feel that the dispOsi-
ton of these men is a matter of
public interest, affecting the in
dustries and commerce of the en-
tire country, and not matter for
this county to handle alone. To
this end l am writing Governor
Alexander asking him to use his
influence with the government
officials to relieve this county of
the burden of caring for these
prisoners"
The soldiers who are guarding
the stockade at the present time
will leave here Saturday, and the
work of taking care of the men
will again fall upon the sheriff s
Office, and it is hoped that some
arrangements can be made
whereby the government will take
over this duty and relieve the
county from the expense.

Seven out of the twenty-six

made mess sergeant. Both of
these men are from this city.
Hallead being employed as a clerk
by the Milwaukee railway and All

tors Of the c.. & M. Hotel. Pas
quale Angelo Esposito of Tensed
has been made company cook.

ton by the district board but re-

name was sent in us a deserter on
October 8 and on the next day he
was delivered at Fort Lawton by
the sheriff from Everett. Mohr-
ing is said to have stated when
he left here that he was going to
visit his parents at Snohomish,
Wash,and would go from there
to American Lake. His registra-
ton card shows that he has
served seven years in the national
guard, in which he was second
lieutenant. When called for ex-
animation he. claimed exemption
on the grounds of Conscientious
objections against war.
1t is thought that the men who
left last evening will complete the
quota from this county, as there
are now 72 men from here at the
mobilization camp. Word has
been received from Camp Lewis
that George Thostenson of this
city, who was a member of the
second contingent from this
county was rejected at the ply
sical examination at the camp anC
will return. It is also reported
that two other men from this
county have been rejected but il
is impossible to confirm this
rumOr.
