Emmett Bow on Vaterland

Don Sanders, who about a year ago
enlisted in the navy and was assigned
to the battleship Ohio, has recently
been promoted from the ranks to a
petty officer and transferred to the
Vaterland, German vessel which was
seized when Uncle Sam declared war
against the Kaiser. This ship is one
of the largest vessels afoat, having a
capacity of $4,000 passengers, and
carries a crew of 1900. In letter to
his mother, Don says the ship is as
high as 13 story building. The fact
that is can carry more people than
Boise contains gives an idea of its
enormous size. The Vaterland is en-
gagged in transporting troops across
the water.

Sunday was duck day and the hunt
ers, not only of Emmett, but also from
neighboring towns, were out in force.
Seldom has there been so many ducks,
and the hunter who did not get the
'limit" either could not hit the side
of barn from the inside or else a
shell got stuck in his gun, as hap
pened to quite a number. And if
there is anything that will make a
man lose his religion than to have a
pesky shell stick when the ducks are
flying so thick that he is in danger of
being knocked down and run over,
we don't know what it could be. The
ducks are fat juicy and tender.

here last week was very bum. The
outfit took nearly $1,000 out of town
and gave practically nothing in re-
turn. The only redeeming feature
was the balloon ascension Saturday
afternoon The balloon sailed several
thousand feet into the air and the
man who took passage in it dropped the
entire distance in a parachute. The
town was filled jam full with visitors
Saturday evening.

He was taken to a Boise hospital
Wednesday afternoon, his vitality hav-
ing shown so strongly that an at
tempt to remove the bullet he carries
in his back has been decided upon.
The missile entered the breast above

examination to be lodged near the
spine at the back. 1t is supposed that
pressure from the bullet is causing
paralysis of the victims body. There
is held to be possibility that removal
