When 1t Comes to Giving Money
To Win the Great War

Every person who pays taxes on real

ell of defense and of other patriotic

men of Grangeville.
Discuss Financial Slackers
The meeting was for the purpose of

tivities In attendance at the meet
ing were r. c. Beach, prominent Lew
iston business man, and Z. M. Ebcr-

Armenian and other funds, and it al
80 will be noted whether the taxpayer
bought Liberty bonds If taxpayer

be made of this. 1t was agreed that
many persons had done much work in
behalf of the various campaigns stated
in Idaho county, and that they should
have full credit for having devoted of
their time for this public work.
Why Have Some Jagged?
1t was the opinion of those in atten
dance at the meeting that a number of
taxpayers have Stacked, when it came
to contributing toward winning the
war, and is the intention in the future
10 keep an accurate check on these per
sons, and to learn why they have not
done their share. In future campaigns
for money, their shares will be appor-
toned, and they will be expected to
come up to the full apportionment.

CHICAGO PRICES At
COAST TERMINALS
FOR WHEAT

Camas Prairie farmers and business
men of Grangeville are much interested
and elated over the announcement made
from Washington that Inland Empire
farmers have been assured of Chicago
wheat prices for the 1918 crop at coast
terminals.
This concession, it is estimated, will
add approximately $12,600,000 to the
value of the 1918 wheat crop of the
Inland Empire, on the superstition that
there will be a 10000, 600 bushel crop,
which is considered reasonable with a
good crop. Indications point to price
of $1.91 bushel for wheat Until now
the price has been $1.7O.
Last year the price was fixed at 1920
a bushel in Chicago, and the Pacific
coast was left without basic market,
though approximately one-sixth of the
nation s wheat is grown in the north
west.
At that time a committee represent
ing the various interests went to Wash
ington and secured basic price of $2.05
at coast terminals.
The committee which achieved the
present success is composed of Z. Il
Conan, A. A. Gilmore, R. j. Stephens,
Spokane; S. C. Armstrong and c. w.
Nelson, Seattle; J. s. Klemgard, Pull
man; c. w. Booth, Nezperce, Idaho; A.
V. Swift, Baker, Ore; and r. f. Darl-
ing, Bridgeport, Wash. The delegation
has been aided by the congressional
delegation of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon. They saw President wilson
and Herbert Hoover and officials of the
food administration.

JOHN E. MCPHERSON, ENLISTED
IN U. S. NAVY, sUCCUMBs
AT NORFOLK, VA.
BODY TO BE BURIED HERE
A.emains of Sailor Boy Expected to Ar
rive Friday-State Board Or
ders Quick Burial

Another Idaho county boy has given
his life for his country.
He is John Earl Mcpherson, 1S-year.
old son of Mr. and Mrs. j. Z. Nc
| Pherson of Grangeville. He died Sat
urday of cerebro spinal fever, at the
u. S. naval hospital at Norfolk, Va,
after an illness of several weeks. He
was enlisted in the navy.
The body is scheduled to arrive in
Grangeville Friday evening and will
probably be buried Saturday. The state
board of health has ruled that a public
funeral over the body cannot be held,
because Mcpherson died of contagious
disease.
Family Grief Stricken.
The sailor boy IS parents and broth
ers and sisters are grief stricken over
his death. The mother was conveles-
cent from a severe illness, at the time
the word of her son g death was re-
ceived, and the sad word caused her t.
suffer a relapse.
Born in Clearwater, on Jan. l6, 1900,
John was scarcely more than Is years
of age at the time of his death. He
removed with his parents to Grange
vile when a small boy, and received
bis education in the Grangeville pub
lie schools.
Young Mcpherson enlisted in the
navy from Grangeville ON April l, 1917,
and most of the time since then he had
spent in the U. S. naval training sta
ton. at San Diego, Cal. Not long ago
he was transferred TO Norfolk, and it
is believed that he was about to be
assigned to a warship. when he was
taken i'll.
The first message of the boys ill
ness, came late in January, IN the ma
ture of telegram to his father, ad-
vising him that John was patient in
the naval base hospital, and was in a
serious condition. Only few days pre-
vious to receipt of the telegram, his
parents had received from their sailor
son a long letter, describing his journ-
ey from San Diego to Norfolk. At the
time he expressed himself as highly
pleased with life in the navy.
Several days following receipt Of the
first telegram, there came a message
stating that the boys condition was
and later word came that he
was in critical condition. When this
latter message was rbcelNtus tUt ldIuci
gave up hope of ever again
seeing his son alive.
Sunday morning, there came over the
wires to Grangeville the saddest mes
sage of all, for it was message con-
veying to Johns parents the word that
he had died.
Would Bury With Naval Honor.
The commandment at the naval base
wired Mr.. Mcpherson, John IS body
would be buried there with full naval
honors, unless it were the father IS de-
sire that his body be sent to Grange
Vile. The father Immediately decided
that the body should be inferred here,
and wired TO that effect.
On Monday there came message
from the commandment saying:
90 Remains of John Earl Mcpherson
due to arrive in Grangeville evening
Of 22d, via American express.
Besides his sorrowing parents, John
is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Walter
Chamberlain and Mrs. Zettie Chamber
lain, both of Grangeville, and by two
brothers, Howard and Marion.
