Red Cross Fund Coming Fine

The red cross campaign that
has been on since Tuesday morn
ing is meeting with the best of
success and there is now little
doubt but that Idaho county will
raise its required portion. This
part of the county is responding
handsomely and up to last night
almost $1700 had been secured
by the local committees. The
Ferdinand and Westlake sections
are still to hear from but assur-
ances are had that they will turn
in at least $1,000, while the town
of Cottonwood, which is being
covered today, will easily bring
the amount above the required
sum of So, 600 which was promis-
ed by the west side committee.
Reports from the county seat are
also very satisfactory and every
indication is that the county will
do its full share and perhaps a
little better when the campaign
closes next Monday night.
Every citizen in the county is
being given an opportunity of
showing his patriotism during
red cross week and it is pleasing
to note that practically to man
they are donating literally to the
cause, thereby insuring adequate
preparations to care for our
wounded soldiers when they are
taken over into the trenches,

SOLICIT FUNDS
FOR HOSPITAL
Lewiston Men Visit Prairie
and Outline Campaign to
Raise Fund for New Wing
to St. Joseph's Hospital.

Inc sisters or st. JoSeph'S hos
pital in Lewiston have opened a
campaign to raise $50, 900 for the
much needed new addition to the
hospital. The movement is cre-
ating wide spread interest and il
is believed that the necessary
amount will be forth coming when
the campaign is closed about the
middle of July.
A representative party from
the campaign committee, among
whom were Atty. Miles S. John
son, Atty. George E. Erb, Leon
LeQuime and others visited Cot
tonwood Sunday afternoon and
met a great many of the friends
of the hospital. Promises of sup
port were given and arrange
ments made to form a committee
to work in conjunction with the
central committee at Lewiston.
There will be no contributions at
this time but, about July 8 or 9,
all of those in Cottonwood who
wish to contribute to this fund,
will be given an opportunity to
do so.
The increasing demands the
last year or so upon st. Joseph's
has more than over taxed its ca
pacity. To make room for those
seeking admission, it has been
necessary to use reception par
lors, offices and the private rooms
of the nurses, and even then it
has been at times necessary to
disappoint many seeking admis-
mission. This state of affairs
will rapidly grow worse instead
of better.
st, Joseph's is the only gener-
al hospital within the reach of
the residents of Cottonwood.
Spokane is too far away to be
considered. A good general hos
pital is not a money making in
stitution. The number of chari-
table cases treated, precludes the
possibility of that. In looking
over the records at St. Joseph's
it is found that there have been
308 charitable cases treated from
January l, 1911, to June l, 1917.
st. Joseph's recognizes no creed
or color. The rich and poor re-
ceive like treatment at this hos
pital.
The friends of the hospital in
Cottonwood are asked to do all in
their power to make this cam
palgn a success.
The following are the commit
tees of the campaign organiza-
ton:
Officers of the mems executive

Felix Martzen made a trip to
Kamiah the first of the week for
the purpose of securing the con-
sent of a couple of Indians for
the sale of right of way for a
change of the road near Green
creek through their property. He
had hard trip going down, and

gulch but finally dug out and
reached Kamiah. He made the
deal with the Indians without
much trouble and returned the
next day by way of Nezperce.
AS a result of his trip work on
new road just this side of Green
creek will be started in the near
future, as the subscription for
the right of way was collected
this week and everything is now
in shape to put the road through
on the new survey.

ted the making Of counter attacks by
the Germans behind smoke screens,
liquid fire and imposing artillery ar

unavailing since the British have sus-

larger scale than before. Slowly but
irresiStibiy the Allied attack is driT
ing right into the heart of the Ger

Although the wisdom of the des-
tiny of front which the British have
maintained has been criticized by
some military authorities it has been
eminently justified by the results
which have been secured by that very
means.
Seaoorts are Threatened
Success OF the operations in that
sector means that the Belgian coast
and its bases for the German subma-
rines will be made untenable for the
enemy. In that way Zeebrugge, o.
tend and the Bruges Canals are
threatened. The enemy realizes its
danger and strong counter attacks
must be expected in efforts to regain
such positions as have been lost and
thus to retain, temporarily at least,
these detectives"
Baker considers that recent reports
from the Russian fronts are encour-
