MINING MEN MUST AGAIN
FILE INTENTION NOTICES
TO KEEP Their CLAIMS
EXEMPTION STATEMENTS FOR
1917 DO NOT APPLY FOR
THE YEAR 1918.

Mining men who wish to hold their
claims under the law exempting mining
claims from annual assessment work
during the years 1917 and 1918, must
file notices of intention to hold the
claims for tn year 1918 as well as for
1917. if they wish to retain the proper
ties
1t has been pointed out that many
miners believe the filing of notices for
1917 is sufficient to cover the two-year
period, but this is not the case.
The law specifically states that motto
es Of intention to hold mining claims
must be made for each year on or be
fore December 81 This is the last
month therefore in which such notices
may be filed and claim owners are warn
ed to make their filings without ,rurther
delay. The resolution eXempting the
mining claims from annual assessment
work was adopted by congress as a war
measure, the purpose being mainly to re
lieve men from labor not essential to the
prosecution of the war The high cost
of labor and supplies and the difficulty
III getting men to perform the work
were also factors which received consid-
GRAFTON. The resolution was approved
Oct. 90, 1917. In order to take advan-
tage of the law AMI preserve all rights
to mining ground, notices must be filed
in the office of the county recorder be-
fore the end of the year.
Early in the year a resolution was in
troduced in congress to extend the pro
visions of this law to include 1919, but
it appears that no action was taken up
on it and that it is still pending. Opin-
ion seems to be divided upon the advi-
stability of extending the law to include
next year.

Whitebird, KooslSia and Garfield have
come letters from anxious children who
can hardly wait until the arrival of
Santa Claus, on Christmas eve, with his
reindeer sledges AMI loads OF Yuletide
gifts.
Most of the letters have been written
by the children themselves, but others,
presumably dictated by children too
small to write, have been penned by
their elders.
Especially interesting is it to note,
in reading the numerous missives direct
ed to the patron saint of the children,
absence of the customary requests on
the part of the children Tor elaborate
gifts this year. Most Of the children
v-ho have written letters to Santa Claus
confined their wants to the simplest Of
toys. Several have told Santa that they
do not expect much they year, for they
would rather he would be liberal in
filling the stockings of the boys and
girls in war-ridden France and Belgium.
Delightfully."- entertaining has been the
privilege to the Free Press of reading
these letters to ST. Nicholas, and it is
hoped that they also viii prove inter
esting and entertaining to others who
may read them, as well as aid in pre-
serving to the children of Idaho county
continued faith in that time honored
legend of the advent of st. Nicholas at
Christmas time to the homes of those
who during the previous year have
been of good behavior, his climbing to
the housetops on Christmas eve, while
all are asleep, his descent into the
chimney and his filling with toys and
candies and nuts the children IS stock

"Whereas, signs are now apparent
there will be within our borders a sur
plus of labor, in that many men who
engaged in war industries to assist the
government will return to their home
state because of the reconstruction and
in Some cases complete cessation Of
those industries, and must be given EN-
ployment on either state, county or
municipal construction work, which
should be encouraged in all of Idaho;
be it therefore
"Resolved, that the executive com
mittee of the state council of defense
requests that all, including county and
community councils, join this committee
in encouraging and supporting all
worthy agricultural, commercial, indus
trial and transportation undertakings
in this state to the end that we may
thereby stimulate an enlarged apd
healthful development and utilization of
the abundant resources of Idaho; and
be it further
"Resolved, that all forms of fake and
wildcat promotion schemes, which are
likely to crop out in various sections Of
the state in the return to industrial
peace activities, be carefully investigat-
ed, and when found to be such, they be
prohibited, that the public may be
guarded in the making of legitimate in
vestments."

TELLS OF BATTLE WITH HUNS
Only Eleven Out of Sixty Escape, Says
Nell Holbrook.

Telling how he, himself, was with =
platoon which took a hill from the Ger
mans in France, and escaped with his
life with ten other men, while forty
nine members of the platoon were sho:
down, Nell Holbrook has written an
interesting letter to friends in Grange
vile. He described the wounding OF
Grover johnson, a comrade, also from
Idaho county. Johnson later was Off
cially reported dead.
The letter in part follows:
"1 went into the drive on September
% and. nevtl had my shoes off for eigb-
teen days. Sometimes we went two and
three days without anything to eat or
drink. The Germans shelled us so
heavily we couldn t get back to om
kitchen to get our supplies.
owe were fighting most of the time
in heavy wood, and the Germans surely
made us fight hard. They had machine
guns in every tree and behind every
tree and behind every rock pile, and a
machine gun is an awful thing to go up
against. But we succeeded in driving
them out of the woods. We were up
against the kaiser's picked troops, the
Prussian guards. The platoon l am in
was ordered to take a hill covered with
machine guns. We took the hill, but
had only eleven men left out of sixty.
''YOu know Grover johnson from the
prairie. He was right along side of me
when a machine gun bullet smashed
through his ankle. He fell and then
raised up a little to take his pack off
when another one hit him in the hips
going clear through. 1t was an awful
sight. 1 will never forget it. We pack
ed him back to the first aid station, but
don't think he lived, for he lost a
lot of blood"
