SUGGESTS SUBSTITUTING TRACT.
ORS FOR HORSES.

The following letter has been is
sued from State Farm Markets Depart
ment at Boise and sent out generally
over the state. Carefully peruse this.
Mr.. Farmer, it may fit your case:
1T is quite possible because Of short
age of food for work horses that the
farmers teams will not have strength
to put in the required crops, and be
cause of present indications of war and
its attendant needs and hardships,
every available acre of land In our
state should be planted to some kind
of crop that will sustain life In man
and beast
I'm view of these conditions, we are
writing you to learn your opinion rela-
tive to the buying of small farm tract
ors that can be utilized by few farm
ers cooperating together. Is it posi-
BILE that a tractor could be purchased
through some responsible firm in your
section of the state, provided we can
find for you suitable machine and
furnish the same at cost?
I'VE will be able to help you perhaps
in purchase of hay too, if desired. Any
aid this Office can give you and the peo-
pie of your section of the state, win
most most gladly be rendered.
/ remain, with respect,
Very truly yours,

equally well, close at hand from the
cemetery road, and from quarter of
mile away across the lake. Indeed
IL Is this body of water which forms
the chief beauty of the site. There is
drop OF approximately 10 feet from
the level Of the road to the level of
the lake, there being a natural terrace
on the axis of the plot which lends
Itself admirably to the architectural
development of the memorial. The
lake is unusually still, and has a
mlrror-like quality which reflects ad-
mirably the white granite Of which
the memorial is made.
As to the memorial | think IL can
be said without contradiction that,
leaving aside entirely any artistic ex-
cellence, such perfection and delicacy

CLEARWATER CITIZENS WANT
COUNTY HELP FOR ROAD

Thomas Surridge. OF Harpster.
was In the city Monday interesting
a number of our citizens I'm the con-
struction of the road along the South
Fork OF the Clearwater River from
kooskia TO the National Forest Re
serve line, one and one-half miles
south of Harpster village. With the
assured construction of the water
grade route along the South Fork
from Harpster to Elk City the peo-
pie In this section have found it
necessary 70 take some steps In pro-
noting this piece of road from
kooskia to Sites and on to Harpster.
A petition will be circulated among
the resident taxpayers asking the
county commissioners to recognize
this piece of road and ask for the
cooperation of the state highway
preliminary survey.
That the people along the river
from Lewiston to Peck have already
become interested In the route"
said Mr.. Surridge. "and are now
surveying at different points along
the main river to Peck. Clearwater
county stands ready to do her part,
which win bring the line above
Greer Kamiah is in favor of 1t,
and there is but short distance to
build from Kamiah to Kooslxia,
which will make an all winter route
through Sites and on to Harpster.
The government building through
the Nezperce Forest Reserve to Elk
City will give an outlet through to
Lewiston. which city would receive
large benefit by this construction.
I'VE understand the miners and
farmers in the mining section are
making preparations to circulate a
petition throughout the district
showing the necessity of starting
the construction of the government
The fact that at the present time
mine owners are taking into the In
terror large :. shipments of heavy
mining machinery and supplies is
evidence that this route over the
water grade is the most practical.
Over the present route these large,
heavy pieces of machinery require
from 9 to 10 horse teams In the
transportation of the same.
This water grade route would
eliminate the climbing of Mt. Badly
which has an elevation Of $500 feet.
The grade on the water route would
not exceed one half of one per cent
from Sites to Elk City, and the
great depth of snow encountered
during the winter would not be In
evidence along the water route, as
very seldom the snow would exceed
four feet in depth along the river,
and at no point would 1t drift."-En

ARM FOR
DRIVE ON

Omitted Press Leased W'ire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. =
Twenty billion dollars are in
volved in congressional action this
week.
Under this staggering figure
wealth conscriptionists are fight
ing to make the rich carry the cost
of war Against 1t some of the
ablest senate leaders are battling
to stem the tide OF opinion favor
ing tremendous war taxes on war
profits and greatly increased in
come levies.
While problems OF strategy
were being worked out behind
closed doors on the senate side
today, the house prepared to meet
tomorrow to tackle the new SILL
53S, 100000 war credit bill, take
up the big soldiers insurance
measure and launch the new &c.
.000,00O,000 deficiency appropria-
ton bill.
Two billions more are involved
in shipping and aeroplanes esti-
mates, expected any day.
Over-Sunday conferences of
those senators opposing the wealth
conscriptionists developed a plan
to compromise on a 40 to As per
cent tax on war profits, instead of
the 80 to 100 per cent tax de-
manded by those fighting wealth.
This compromise is offered with
out the official sanction of the
senate finance committee, but it is
the result of two conferences
wherein the determined stand of
the "conscriptionists' was the sub
ject of discussion.
The committee bill takes only
$562,000,000 by 26 per cent tax
on war profits.
Thirty senator's, led by Johnson,
California, and Borah, have or
ganized a drive to get 80 per cent.
They say they will not accept any
compromise at As per cent.
I'VE may not get 80 per cent of
war profits, but we'll get more
than As per cent" said one today.
Germany took so per cent. We
should take at least so per cent
and show the kaiser we mean bust
ness"
The Johnson-Borah group today
were armed with half a dozen
amendments to the revenue bill
ranging from 80 per cent of war
profits to 60 per cent.
