held intact and organized into re-
giments carrying their respective
state colors OF will be formed into
regiments without regard to state
lines.
Those closely associated with
military affairs in this state have
been working on the plan Of Gre
ating another Idaho regiment
from among the drafted men.
Idaho will be called upon to give
2237 men under the first draft,
that number constituting her
quota when credit is given the
state for 1927 men in the ma
tional guard and III who have
volunteered for the regular army.
Some of the men drafted will be
fused to bring the Second Idaho
lup TO full war strength. When
that is done there will be enough
men left to constitute an entirely
new regiment.
1t is believed by many military
men in this state, together with
many public men, that if there is
any possible way of keeping the
drafted men intact and organized
into a regiment that will carry
its state colors every effort should
be taken to bring this about.
They claim the advantage to such
a plan would stimulate the ability
of the men themselves, in that
they would be anxious to put
forth every effort, not only to the
defense of the national flag but
to commit no act that would de-
tract rom their own state colors.
1t would also, it is pointed out,
be an incentive to give the Idaho
colors prominence in any en-
gagements of a military nature
in which the regiment partici-
Ipated.
Idaho is one among 10 states
that has enlisted its quota for
the regular army, and thereore
the men drafted or the new army
will not be required to go into
the regular army. In fact, this
state has more than given its re-
quired quota to both the army
and navy. These acts are con-
sidered very creditable to Idaho
Although one Of the smallest
states in the Union in population
Idaho has given more in proper
ton to its population in men tC
the army, navy and nationa
guard than most of the states.

Ralph Eldridge, the nine year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S.
Eldridge of this city, was drowned
w ednesday afternoon while bath
ing in the ST. Marles river. The
accident occurred about three
O'Clock at the ranch of F. A. Gas
kill, about four miles from this
city.
The lad, in company with his
brother, Laverne. and several
other boys of about the same age,

bathing, there being a sandbar
in the river at this place. Ac-
cording to the story told by the
other boys Ralph, who could not

out into deep water. While
splashing around his mouth be-
came filled with water and be-
coming frightened he let the
water-wings get away and sank.
He came up twice, calling for
help. and one of the other boys,

an attempt to save him and sue
ceeded in reaching him. The
hoy. however, was panic-stricken
and seized his rescuer around
the neck and he was forced to
break away in order to save him
self.
News of the accident was
phoned TO this city and number
lof men hastened 20 the scene in
automobiles and started dragging
the river. Efforts were also made
to locate the body by diving but
the water was so muddy that
nothing could be done in this way
and it was not until nine O'Clock
in the evening that it was finally
recovered by Prentice Wolfe, who
was dragging the river. The boy
had then been in the water abou
six hours.
The father of the boy, A. S
Eldridge, a we'll known conductor
: or the Milwaukee, has been yer,

feared that the shock will hav
- a serious effect on him. The bo
