STRENUOUS OUTING IN THE
SEVEN DEVILS.

Professor Philip Soulen, Seantor NJ
h. Lewis, Frank Stanton and Harry
Soulen returned last Friday from a two
weeks outing in the Seven Devils coun-
try. The trip was made in Senator
Lewis ear and the country traversei
meets all the requirements for change,
unexpected experiences and maximum
hazard to accept the REALTORS account
of the trip.
The party left Moscow and journeyed
TO the Grangeville country and thence
southwark, taking the canyon of the
White Bird down the Salmon river,
thence down the canyon of the Salmon
to Higgins, 26 miles, thence up the can
yon of the Little Salmon River to New
Meadows. In this section Payette
Lakes, Long Valley and Warnf Lakes
were visited, also Emmett and Cascade
When an indefinite distance from an
unknown point sheepman came down
from the ranges with a bullet wound in
the leg. The wound was two days old
and the man had crawled three miles
to get aid. He was taken into the
tourists ear, but after several miles
run, an out cropping rock raked off the
crank box of the engine, allowing the
luDr1catlng oil TO escape. distant
phone was reached and a S. o. s. call
sent for a special ear to carry out the
wounded man. The relief came and the
man was taken out to a hospital where
he received proper care and was get
ting on alright when the Moscow party
last saw him.
The wounded car was also given first
aid. The leak in the lubricator was
plugged with a piece of pine and the
crank box was hay-wired on and a
journey 1876 miles was made before re-
pair shop was found.
In this trip some very stiff grades
were run, some as high as 25 per cent.
1t is not given out that the Ford took
all these grades without helpful push,
but all are certain that a Ford will
tackle anything in Idaho that one cares
to ride. Fish? Yes, all kinds of-good

FOREST FIRES ON INCREASE
Woods are Dry and Invite Flames
Principal Cause the Camp Fire.
(From Missoula Forest Office.

From Missoula Forest Office
According to officials of the Forest
Service, the fire season at present is the
worst this district has known since
1910, and bids fair to surpass that in
the number of fires and damage done
If weather conditions continue unchang.
ed through August
1t is approximately so days since any
thing more than slight shower of rain
has fallen in the western part of the
district. Thunder storms, which may
reasonably be expected in August, will
aggravate the situation by starting
new fires. Up to July 20, 200 fires
were reported, and since that time there
have been fully as many more. There
are more fires in the forests now than
ON August l, 1914, which was fire sea
son quite similar to 1910. About 400
men are employed on the Flathead, the
same number ON the Kootenai, and
twice as many more on the other for.
ests in western Montana and Idaho.
Most OF the fires are under control, but
the winds which arise every afternoon
make the situation very hazardous.
Arrests have been made of two incen-
diaries, and prosecutions will follow inn
mediately. Suit for damages win also
be brought by the Forest Service shortly
against the Great Northern Railroad for
damages caused by setting fires along
its right of way.
Cost Of Fighting Fires.
Cost to the Forest Service of fire
fighting in Western Montana and nor
thern Idaho, for the period ending July
81 was 100000. This includes, in ad
dition to special crews hired for fight
ing fres, the salaries of nearly 200
- smokechasers, who are special patrol
men hired in emergency seasons for
chasing down smokes observed by look
outs, and who call for help if the blaze
is too large for them to handle alone.
Camp Fires.
Although the danger from incendia
ries, railroads, lightning etc, is great,
the most serious menace is the camp
fire. The National Forests are being
made more and more accessible to the
public from year to year, and are visit
ed in constantly growing numbers by
automobile parties and campers. Care
lessness in the handling of camp fire
is very common, and an extremely large
percentage of forest fires have their
origin in this cause. Thoughtlessness
ceases to be minor offense when its
consequences may be the burning of mil
lions of feet of timber, the destruction
of homes and property and the sacrifice
of human lives. The only safe ire is
dead fire, be sure that yourspis dead

= Red Cross Notes =

That the Grangeville Red Cross is
still doing its bit is evidenced by
the fact that it shipped its third box to
Lewiston last Tuesday. This contained
eleven dozen sheets, eight dozen pillow
eases, twelve dozen huck towels, four
teen dozen Turkish bath towels and
three dozen wash cloths,
The fourth box, which is being pre-
pared at present, will contain forty two
doctor s and nurses operating gowns,
forty-two operating caps, forty two
operating helmets, one hundred and
sixty-four operating sheets, twenty five
operating towels, forty-two operating
leggings for patients and forty two hot
water or ice bag covers.
We expended $55S.l7 for materials
last month, which alone indicates the
activity Of our workers. If they were
not being busily employed, our expenses
would be slight. The amount of our
bills are a very good index to what we
are accomplishing.
We are proud of Grangevile s record
in this work and especially so, because
only small per centage of our women
are engaged in it. These faithful ones
are quietly working day by day with no
thought of their names being emblazon-
ed among the stars; their only ambition
is to do what they can to relieve the
sufferings so sure to come to the men
upon the battlefield. Five per cent of
an army in the field, it is estimated
is in the hospitals during the early
stages of campaign. Later the per.
centage constantly rises because of sick
ness-and exposure as well as because of
wounds. The American Red Cross.
therefore is preparing surgical dressings
and equipment for $4,000 men as first
supply. This amount must be main
tanned and increased. With these facts
staring her in the face, can any patrio-
tic woman of Grangeville conscientious
ly sit idly by and make no effort to
take upon herself at least small share
of the immense task that eonfronts the
women of Americas
1t might be well to mention inciden-
tally, that our home merchants are sup
plying all materials for the Red Cross
at exactly cost, plus the freight.
Claire Baker made and sold punch
and sherbet for the Red Cross last week,

$3.50. If each lad and lassie would
emulate her example in small way our
funds would be greatly increased. To

CONSUMPTION OF COAL BY RAIL
ROADS IN 1915.

Figures compiled by C. E. Lesher, of
the United States Geological Survey, In
terror Department, show that 1876, 900
tons of bituminous coal, 6,735,000 net
tons of Pennsylvania anthracite, and
22,950 tons of coke were used by the
railroads in the United States in 1916.
The increase in the quantity of bitumin-
Gus coal used by the railroads in 1916
was 100000 tons, which was lis
per cent more than in 1915. The in
crease in the consumtions OF anthracite
by the railroads was 535, 1000 net tons,
or So per cent There was an increase
in railroad consumption of nearly 4,000,-
600 tons of coal from Illinois, about
100000 from Ohio, and of $780,
900 from West Virginia. The guam
tity of coal from Pennsylvania used by
the railroads decreased nearly 100000
tons.
The quantity of bituminous coal used
by the railroads in the eastern district
increased from 56,510,000 to $1,000, 900,
or IL per cent. The increase in the
southern district was from $4,000 900 to
%, 100000, or 81 per cent, and in the
western district from 43,500,000 to
50 100000 or Is per cent. The total
quantity of bitumnous coal used by the
railroads was about 81 per cent of the
total production as against % per cent in
1915. The Pennsylvania anthracite used
bv the railroads in 1916 was TT per cent
of the total anthracite produced and the
combined bituminous and anthracite
used, l42, 900 tons, was "a per cent
of the output, the same as in 1915.

LOUISIANA AND TEXAS FURNISH
MOST OF SULPHUR.

More than 90 per cent of the native
sulphur now produced in the United
States comes from deposits in Louisiana
and Texas, according to Philip s. Smith,
of the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior, but deposits
of sulphur that have been or might be
productive occur in Wyoming, Nevada.
Utah. California, Colorado, Oregon and
Alaska.
Louisiana and Texas apparently pro
duce enough sulphur to supply even an
extraordinary demand, for the combined
output of these two states, although the
production has not been vigorously
pushed, has so greatly exceeded the
amount sold that large stocks of sulphur
have been accumulated.

EXEMPTIONS BE RESTRICTED.
Local Boards Must Examine Into Claims
of Married Men.

Further instructions to local eXemp-
ton boards in regard to claims for ex-
emptions received from Provost Mar
shall General Crowder draw tighter
lines on the definition of dependency.
Under this ruling the earning capacity
of drafted men will be taken into con
sheraton as will also the manner in
which dependents have been cared for.
1t is maintained that in some cases the
families or married men would be better
off with the men in the army, allotting
portion of their pay to their Deepen
provost marshall on this subject is as
follows
Good Pay for Soldiers.
"'Please call the attention of local
boards to the fact that a soldier IS pay
is not less than $50 month and that
all clothing, subsistence, medical treat
ment and housing are furnished him.
Under the law he may allot any por
ton of his pay to a dependent. Many
soldiers receiveing $50 month are
easily able to allot $25 monthly to the
support of dependents. In ease of death
in line of duty the government will
pay to the beneficiary designated by
the soldier SIX months pay.
"Section of the selective service
act provides that those in status
with respect to persons dependent up
on them for support which renders their
exclusion or discharge advisable may
be discharged, but it does not require
that they shall be discharged in all
such cases. The discretion of local
boards is invoked by this provision
and such boards may well take the fact
recited above into consideration in
deciding claims for discharge due to
dependency with a view to determining
whether, as a matter of fact, the person
claiming such discharge will not be in
as good or better position to support his
! dependents after selection for military
service than he was before. If such is
the ease, of coruse discharge should not
be granted.
Physical Examination.
Further instructions were received
from the provost marshall general as
follows:
Section "a and 26, regulations for
local and district boards, require form
IA, record of physical examination, to
be transmitted to district boards in
certain cases, it is an imperative me-
cessity that one copy of this record in
the case of each man examined be kept
in the possession of local boards until
the person is actually posted to the
colors. Therefore, please notify local
boards at once that whenever the re-
port of physical examination is required
to be sent to district boards, the local
board shall make and retain a certified
copy of this report -

FIRE REPAIRS DONE; HOTEL
 WILL REOPEN

Temporary relief from the present crowded condition of local hostelries is in sight in the near future through the re-opening of the Commercial hotel which was gutted by fire in July. Ac- cording to the announcement made yes terday afternoon, the Commercial will be ready for business about February l. It has total of no rooms.
 The Commercial is one of the oldest and best known transient houses in Phoenix and was, a few years ago, con sidered one of the finest hotels III the southwest.
 Fire of unknown origin played havoc with the old landmark early in July, with a result that the owners and man agers were afforded an excellent op- ortunity to make numerous alterations and improvements that had long been planned
 Tn remodeling the structure, no eX- pense has been spared in installing all of the latest hostelry equipment. Fire proof materials have also surplanted former timbers and other materials more easily ignited.
 While the remodeling work was be- ing carried forward. the hotel has made no attempt whatever to care for its trade So great has been the demand for rooms in PhoeniX during the past few months. however, that on several occasions. the management opened it's door as an act of courtesy rather than to see visitors seek accommodations at the city and county jailS
