Humiston. the woman detective. also
was at police headquarters in confer
ence with the police authorities. She
complained of the action of Detective
Dougherty in refusing her an inter
view in Annapolis with a negro woman
witness in the case.
What is puzzling the detectives is
why Mrs. King. when she was FIRST
questioned, said that she did not hear
screams on the morning that Mrs.

EXPRESSION CLASS GIVES
ENJOYABLE RECITAL.

A large and enthusiastic audi
ence assembled at the Crystal
Tuesday evening to hear the re-
cital . by Mrs. Ellis Dobson's
Glass in Expression. 1t is
hardly necessary to say the pro-
gram was well rendered and en-
joyed; a packed house was unani-
nous in such verdict.
Miss Helen Tullos gave well
rendered reading, and Miss Irene
Thompson acquitted herself splen-
didly at the piano. Miss Lois
Choate reading was much en-
joyed. The clever little play,
Mother Goose comedy was Civ
en- by Dorothy Naylor, DON Hem
ry, Lois Choate, Helen Tullos,
Harry Curtin, Harold Bettsrs-
worth and w. E. Lynch, Jr., and
all did honor to themselves. Miss
Bette Louise Curlin's gift for
expression was well displayed In
a reading. Little William and
Mary " Curtin simply captivated
the audience with their songs.
Traumerei, on the violin by Ber-
nice Parham, accompanied by
Dorothy Moore, on the piano, was
good. Miss Anita Dodds read
ing Cupid In a Cadillac was
rendered in her usual talented
manner and much enjoyed. The
closing number of the program
short sketch Three Dear
Friends was successfully play
ed by Misses Bette Louise Cur
lin, Anita Dodds, Lois Choate and
Helen Tullos.
The fact that the house would
not accommodate the crowd, again
reminds us of the necessity of a
larger place for public entertain
ments.

RUSSIA MAY DROP OUT.

Russia still looms in the eyes
of the world as a pOrtentious OBJ
stacle to the early and successful
issue of the war for the entente
nations and for the United states
over Germany. Now it looks
very much like Russia will quit
the fighting game and make a
separate peace with her enemies.
Should this occur, fully two mil
lion Teuton soldiers can be TAX
en- from the eastern front and
used in the west against French
and British troops; which, to say
the least, will prolong the war.

How To Use The
TELEPHONE

Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways. above. be-
low. or six inches away from the trans
mitter of your telephone?
You should talk directly into the

Speak in an even tone. 1t is not neces-
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone. but these

ESTABLISH TRAINING CAMPS
War Department Issues Memorandum
Lieut.. Ashbrook has Application Blanks

In a recent memorandum from the
War Department information is given
out in regard to the second reserve Off
Ger Is training camps. Lieutenant Ash
brook who is detailed to conduct the
examinations in Idaho received copies
of the memorandum and has application
blanks which may be obtained by those
who desire them. part of the mem
orandum reads as follows:
GAS an emergency measure to pro-
vide officers for the first 100000 draft
ed troops the war department has put
in operation 16 officers training camps
with total attendance of about 10000.
These 16 camps correspond to the terri
torial divisions in which it is planned
to rasie troops under the draft act of
May Is, 1917. These camps which be-
gan May Is. 1917, are expected to pro
vide the line officers well qualified as
to character and training and sufficient
for the purpose will afford those not in
the military service, or drafted in the
future, the last opportunity to become
officers. Also, in connection with these
camps it is to be noted that mature, and
experinced men are needed to fill the
higher grades, first lieutenants, captain,
major and few lieutenant colonies in
the second 100000.
Must Reapply.
"Men who applied for the first series
of camps must reapply whether or not
certified as suitable for the camps
Right to enter camp, if selected, is not
affected BY the fact that applicant is
drafted before or after the camp begins.
Men will be classified and recommended
g. ha as %ha.r
qualifications as demonstrated during
the training. Those eligible under the
officers reserve crops age limits, up to
80 for second lieutenant, SO for first
lieutenant, 40 for captain and As for
major, will be commissioned for five
years in the reserve crops. However,
these age limits will not govern all
appointments because under the draft
act of May Is, 1917, these age limits do
not apply to appointments for the war
only.
Following the policy of commission
ing Officers on demonstrated worth it
| is intended that, after the first mere
ment of 10000 has been organized, Of
ficers will be obtained by promoting
officers and men already in the regular
army, National Guard and drafted
fOrceS, tnuS giving 10 tnose VINO nave
volunteered or have been drafted for
military service full opportunity to earn
promotion to the exclusion of those not
in actual military service. The period
devoted to the organization of the first
10000 must therefore be devoted to
training and selecting officers for the
second 100000 to supplement those pro
NOTED from troops in actual service.
Applications Arrive.
| "To meet this situation a second
series of officers training camps will
be held beginning Aug. 81, 1917. with
the definite mission of producing body
of line officers capable of filling all
places in the grades above lieutenant
and many of the places in the grade
of lieutenant in the second 100000

The Grangeville and Ferdinand ball
teams played game on the High School
ground Sunday with score that would
do credit to a big league game. Both
teams played so tight and with SO few
errors that at the beginning of the
eleventh inning there was no score.
This was remarkable because the
Grangeville boys at least had had no
practice together. Both pitchers vindi-
Gated themselves completely allowing
but few hits. The whole game was
played with remarkable neatness If with
no great speed. Fielding was excellent
and nearly every player whether he got
hit or on infield grounder met his
fate at first base. The only run of the
game was made by Grangeville in the
last half of the eleventh inning Hols-
claw got nice two-base hit which put
him on second base. Eli Ingram then
came to bat and drove out high one to
left field The Ferdinand fielder al
most had it but he stumbled and missed.
The ball struck on the bank of the
school house lawn and Duge raced for

ing land yearly. If the state should sell
100 sections Of land yearly it would
take 40 years to dispose of the holdings.
Glass Of Land.
1.-The lands owned by the state are
agricultural, grazing and timber lands.
The agricultural lands lie principally
in the southern and southeastern por-
tion of the state; the grazing lands lie
along, the edges of the forest reserves
and in the rolling hills along the Snake
river; the timber lands are situated
north of the Clearwater river mostly,
although there is very important body
of timber near the Payette lakes be-
tween the Salmon and Payette rivers.
The timber on these lands is chiefly
yellow pine, fir, tamaraek and spruce.
"In order to guard the timber lands
of the state, the state is member Of
four timber protective associations,
these four associations are protecting
and patrolling some 100000 acres of
state timber lands, containing over
1000, OOO,0 feet of timber valued at
approximately $11, 100000.
Method of Selling Land.
CAN land is sold at public auction to
INC ulShcot ihSb pSihS esPPih'o
ed and advertised for four consecutive
weeks in a newspaper of general cir
culatien published in the county in
which the land to be sold is located.
The minimum bid which will be ac-
ceptedS is the appraised value of the
land, which, in no case, is less than $40
per acre. BY the adoption of consti-
tutional amendment the state can cell
Il up to 100 sections of land per year and
can sell to each person 800 acres; prior
to this amendment the sale was res
tricted to % sections per year and l6O
acres to each person. This law will be
of great benefit to the settlers of the
state and will undoubtedly result in d
great deal of land that is now unculti
waited being put into crop.
| "The lans sold this year are princi
pally cut over lands and agriculture
lands which have been bringing on an
average $22 per acre. Six sales have
already been conducted and all tracts
have gone for the appraised value. The
State Land Board has taken an active
part since January 1st in putting the
Carey Act Projects on d firm financia
basis. -
