said, had been at great pains to i'm

the house of commons recently were
inaccurate. He declared these figures
were absolutely correct and that they

The Lremier asserted he was abso-

submarine never would be able to
beat down the strength OF the British
empire or beat down the hopes of the
Alliance by means of all the efforts
the Germans could make with the
submarine.
Disappointed in Russia.
The premier said that the news
from Russia in the last few days had
not been good. He thought when the
revolution came that it would have
the effect OF postponing victory. but
he had expected an earlier recovery.
However, through all we must ex-

Big SawmiII for Cottonwood

Among the big projects to be in
stalled here next year will be one of
the biggest sawmills and numbering
plants in Idaho.
Minnesota capitalists are behind
the move and they figure the cost of
the plant and railroad spur leading
to the timber at half million dollars
or more.
Representatives of the firm were
here last spring and secured a large
tract of land on the mountain ten
miles west of here. They also viewed
out logging road between the town
and timber, which means that the mill
will be built here at the town and
railroad, and the logs hauled in from
the timber, The mill will probably
employ about $50 men when the
plant is in operation.
We understand the location for the
plant has not yet been selected.

Sheriff Lafe Yates is on the lookout
for the o-Germans in Idaho county.
Several persons in the county have
been known to have made remarks

cure absolute proof against these per-
sons. Arrests are expected to follow,
and clemency will be shown none.
Sheriff Yates attended a meeting Of
the north Idaho sherifs at Lewiston

der. The governor in addressing the
sheriffs, told them to spare no means
in rounding up pro-Germans in North

them" Governor Alexander author

guard property from destruction. Es-
pecially were the officers warned to
protect stores of wheat and other prod
ucts that German agents might de-
stroy.

IDAHO'S LAST
men GONE
2287 Drafted, POOP in Guard,
$50 Enlist in Regulars.

A dispatch from Boise, dated
Nov. Is, says:
Idaho has contributed the last
of its quota, 2287 men, to the
first army of 670, 900, now in can
tonment camps scattered over
the country. The last Is per
cent under the call departed for
Camp Lewis this week.
In proportion to its population
few states in the Union have con-
tributed more men to the colors
than Idaho. A recapitulation
shows a grand total of 4726 men
have responded to the call of
their country, while close to 49,
600 more are registered for phys
ical examination.
The old Second Idaho Regi-
ment now merged into artillery,
machine gun and engineer COM
panies, with headquarters at
Camp Mills, N. Y, contributed
2002 men. The states appor-
tionment under the draft for the
first National Army was 2287, all
of whom have reported. In ad-
dition there were 81 men recruit
ed in the state who made up the
field hospital company and $50
voluntarily joined other branches
of the service. The total draft
registration for the state was
$4,000. The states population is
$50, 900.
Not only has the old Second
Regiment been divided into sepa-
rate units but the companies
themselves have been divided
and their officers given new as.
signments. This has caused
grief to the officers as we'll as the
men under them. One of them,

Supplies for Captured Americans

Arrangements for supplying cap
tured Americans with food and cloth
ing in the German prison camps have
been made through the Red Cross
which has a committee in Switzerland
to send rations and other necessities at
regular intervals. As the number of
Americans in German hands increases
it may be necessary to make further
provision for them through the Span
ish Ambassador in Berlin, who is car
ing for American interests there.
The capture of the soldiers height
ems interest in the question as to the
probable treatment of American pris-
oners in Germany. Other military
prisoners have been used on roads and
in the fields, and presumably the
Americans will be treated in the same
way.
Secretary Baker would make nc
comment on the capture. The facts
made public were all that had reached
the department. he said, and spoke for
themselves. As to treatment of pris.
oners and reports Of brutality in the
German camps, Mr.. Bakers only COM
ment was that the United States was
bound by the Geneva conventions, and
would live up to them SO far as any
prisoners falling into American hands
was concerned.

The American people never do
anything by halves.
The amount set to be raised for
the Y. M. C. A. war camp recre-
alton fund was $35; 1000, 600, but
the total subscriptions will
amount to about $50, 200, 600
surely magnificent display of
patriotism.
Idaho's quota was $85, 900 but
the subscriptions total more than
$120, 900.
Idaho county's quota was $3.50
but the total subscribed amounts
to nearly $4,000.
The amount expected from
Cottonwood and vicinity was
about $780,. but $340 was sub
scribed.
A public rally was held in town
Monday evening for the purpose
of creating interest in raising
this fund. A number of citizens
from Grangeville were present,
including their splendid Cowboy
Band; which furnished excellent
music for the occasion.
All who gave their time and in
any way assisted in this worthy
cause, as we'll as everyone who
subscribed to the fund are en-
titled to all kinds of praise and
credit.

Grain Prospects Better Here
4 Than Elsewhere.

Waldo G. Paine, the we'll known
railroad man of Spokane, recent
ly has been gathering statistics
about the grain crop conditions
in the Northwest. In a recent
issue of the Spokesman-Review
he is authority for a long article
in which he says that the wheat
prospects throughout the North
west are very discouraging at the
present time. He attributes the
cause mainly to a lack of rain
during the Fall months.
Mr.. Paine says the grain pros
poets in the Camas Prairie coun-
try are much better than in any
other portion of the entire North
west-not even excepting the ia
nous Palouse wheat belt. Con-
cerning this section of country
Mr.. Paine says:
In the Lewiston and Camas
Prairie territory there was 80

The acreage of fall sown grain is
about 60 per cent above normal

told is the largest acreage for

Territory.
