Secession Measure
Before Legislature
PROSPECTS FOR PASSAGE ARE GOOD
Majority Of Senator'S Favor Bill. Thrty-seven
Representatives Sign In House

That a secession measure will
pass at this session of the legis-
lature now seems to be an assured
fact, according to dispatches
from Boise. A memorial to
Congress asking for the separa-
tion of northern Idaho from the
southern part of the state was in
troduced Monday. Petitions had
been previously circulated among
the members of both the house
and senate and sufficient sigma
lures secured to assure the pas
sage of the memorial.
The division line between the
two sections is the south line of
Idaho county and Washington
county on the west and Lemhi
county on the east will be in the
new state.
June II is set as date in this
measure for The holding of
constitutional convention at some
point to be designated in the
northern part of the state. At
the convention a constitution for
the proposed new state to be
formed out of northern Idaho
will be adopted, and it will be for
warded to Washington to ac-
company the memorial before the
next session of congress.
Members from the north and
southern portion of the state are
active in the secession program.
They say that the north is for
separation and that the panhan-
die is entitled to cut itself off
from the south. The name of
Lincoln or a typical Indian name
is to be selected for the proposed
new state.

house are Moody, MCGOWAN, Kent

And, Whereas, we are now on

ASK LADIES TO ASSIST
IN RELIEF WORK

The Charity Ball given by the
Kings Daughters on Feb. 2 was
a grand success, both financially
and socially. We do not know
al the present time the amount Of
money cleared but there will be
la gOOdly sum which will be used
in the best way possible to care
for the needy of st. Maries.
There are so many who need
our help. You will find them in
surprisingly great numbers all
through the town. Someone has
said there are no poor in St.
Maries What a sad mistake.
Work with US for one day OF a
week and you will open your eyes.
We are only a new organiza-
ton, few in umbers, yet we have
accomplished a great deal. The
work has made heavy demands
on our time and strength, so we
are extending to the women Of
st. Maries an earnest invitation
to join US. You will be most
welcome.
This is a work which all
should be interested in and it is
the duty Of each one to put forth
an effort to help no matter how
little it may be. Where you
find poverty you find sickness and
| am sure there isn't a woman in
st. Maries who, seeing the mis-
cry in these homes where we
have been, little children hungry
and cold, many of them barefoot
with only rags tied on their feet
for warmth, could rest for think
ing of it.
This is a common occurrence.
We who have comfortable
homes are inclined to think all
others are as fortunate as our
selves. Under the existing con-
ditions any surplus of money and
provisions on hand will not last
long, so join US in this good work
and we will all feel better for it
Most excellent music for the
occasion was furnished by the
band of st. Maries. We wish to ex-
lpress our appreciation here anc
thank them for their services
THE music was the very best anC
was spoken of only in the highest
terms by all. We wish to thanl
those who helped us in any way
and all the people in general who
respondede so readily to our in.

taxes to the amount of ten mills

1t further alleges that its to-

that only five mills on the dollar
could lawfully be levied. The
complaint aso states that the
company paid the taxes in excess
OF five mills, amounting to
S526.57, under protest. The

verge of war with Germany seems
certain. Germany's announce
ment of the unrestricted use of
submarines and that passenger
and freight vessels within a GER
tain prescribed territory would
be torpedoed and sunk without
examination and regardless of
nationality has caused this nation
to break off all diplomatic rela-
tions with that country.
Saturday afternoon at a joint
session of congress, President
Wilson made a formal announce
ment to this country and the
world that he had broken off
diplomatic relations with Ger
many and warned the Kaiser that
ruthless sacrifice of American
lives and rights means war be-
tween the two countries.
Just before going before con-
gress the president instructed
Secretary Lansing to hand the
German ambassador his pass
ports and to instruct Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin to demand his.
All of the consular officers in
Germany have been withdrawn
and the German consuls in this
country have been dismissed.
American diplomatic interests
in Berlin have been turned over
to Spain. German diplomatic
interests in the United States
have been taken over by Switzer-
land. Foreign diplomatic in
terests which the United States
had in charge in Germany have
been turned over to various neu-
trails.
This does not necessarily mean
that there will be war between
the two countries but the first
overt act on the part Of Germany
towards carrying out her an
nounced intentions will cause
this country to declare war. The
president still thinks it possible
that war may be averted. He
said:
81 refuse to believe that it is
the intention of the German au-
thorities to do in fact what they
have warned us they will feel at
liberty to do.
81 can not bring myself to be-
lieve that they will indeed pay no
regard to the ancient friendship
between their people and our
own, or to solemn obligations
which have been exchanged be-
tween them, and destroy Ameri-
can ships and take the lives of
American citizens in this wilfull
prosecution of the ruthless naval
program they have announced
their intention to adopt"
Measures have already been
taken to put this country in a
state of defense. Preparations
have been made to defend the At
lantic seaboard and strong
guards have been stationed at
all arsenals and navy yards, no
one being permitted to enter on
any pretext whatever. The gov
ernor of New York has called out
the National Guard of that state
to assist in the defense of New
York city should it become neces-
sassy.
The German ships interned in
this country, including the two
warships, have been seized and
are being guarded to prevent any
damage being done to them. Our
own navy is said to be ready to
take any action that may be re-
quired.
Both houses of the state leg
islature were in session when
the news was received at Boise
Saturday. The announcement
in the house of representatives
by Speaker Alfred that the presi-
dent had severed diplomatic re-
lations with Germany was re-
ceived with cheers and resolu-
tions pledging all the resources
of the state to the president were
