TOTAL CASUALTIES

Washington, June 9.-Casualties
among the American expeditionary
force thus far reported by Gen. Per-
shlng, including today's list, total T.
315, the war Department announced
today in making public the first of
regularly weekly summaries of casul-
ties. Deaths in action, and from
wounds, diseases, accidents, and all
other causes number 1927, while a.
O46 men have been wounded and 342
are missing in action, including men
held prisoners in Germany.
The departments recapitulation fol-
lows:
Killed in action (including 291 at
sea) 1893.
Died of wounds, 80.
Died of disease, 1,192.
Died of accidents and other causes,
392.
Wounded in action, 4,046.
Missing in action Cncluding pri-
soners), 342.
Total, 1915.
While no official explanation was
given for the decision Of the depart
ment to advise the country weekly
of the exact total of casualties since
the landing of the first American
forces in France last June, it is un-
derstood that it resulted largely from
widespread reports that casulties had
been very heavy and that total fig
ures were being withheld from the
public.
1t has been explained at the de-
partment that the daily lists sent by
Gen. Pershing are issued with as lit
tie delay as possible. The casulties
are so scattered in the lists that they
do not give information Of value to
the enemy, but this does not mean
that any appreciable numbers are
held back. After heavy actions, such
as that at Cantigny, it requires sever
ly days to check up the casulties.

l am getting along just fine. /
don't think you are worrying about
me but for fear you are l want to
tell you again that it is absolutely
unnecessary. / couldn't be any bet
ter off if l were back in the U. S. A.

you are taking care of yourself and
so am not worrying about you. Now
don't do something to make me think
different. / often think of the way
you looked when / left nearly a wear

Dear Mother:

Dear Mother:

1T came from home; and that word
home means more to me than ever
before.
Mother, the boxes could not have
arrived in better time.
Frank was over to take dinner with
me yesterday and my box arrived
while he was there. We enjoyed the
eats together and today being nv
birthday l came over to take dinner
with him, real nice dinner too, con-
sistng of beef and spud stew, sal
mons, peaches, figs, honey-cake and
coffee. Just after dinner his box ar
rived, real nice box of eats, tho
some of it was damaged. This box

from John April II. Glad to learn
all are well and getting along nicely
with their work. Regret to learn of
so much sickness, though glad to hear
of all being so much improved.
We have been on the front three
months, the longer we stay the bet

LfMHI COUNTY HAS.
MOST PROSPEROUS
Year IN HISTORY
Combined Bank Deposits at
Salmon More Than Mil
lion Dollars-Great Win
ter for the Stockmen.

Salmon. Jan. 2.-The past year
has been the most prosperous
known in Lemhi county. Owing
to the excellent ranges and in
creased value of livestock, ranch prop
critics have nearly doubled in value
during the past year and the demand
for such property is strong. The Oc-
tober sales Of ranch property amount
ed to over a quarter million dollars.
The most important sale of the month
was the ]. w. Wittenburg ranch on
Carmen creek at a purchase price Of
$4,000. The ranch and sheep inter-
ests of the Bond & Buchanan company
have been taken over by Messrs. Stew
art & Farmer of Mayfield. Ida The
amount involved is over q quarter
million dollars.
The bank deposits in Lemhi county
have more than doubled in the. past
year. The two local banks show COM
bined deposits of over $1.000.000. This
is fair gauge of the prosperity of the
people. Ranch lands that a year ago
were selling for sac and $40 are now
selling for SIS and $50 per acre.
Lemhi county subscription to the
second liberty loan was Sl35,ooV. III
addition to this subscription. the Y.
NJ. c. A. fund amounted to nearly
$4,000, while practically everybody is a
member of the Red Cross society.
The county has furnished its full
quota of men with very few requests
for exemption.
The mild, open winter is proving a
boon to the cattle and sheep men, and
it is also a great help in the line of fuel
conservation. There Is an abundance
of hay in the valley to carry over the
stock in good condition, and livestock
men are feeling jubilant.
The past years crop in all lines was
good. with abundance of work for
everybody.
The prospects are that 1918 will
greatly exceed 1917 in prosperity. The
only drawback Is the scarcity of labor
and the need of more experienced
ranch hands.
The mining industry is showing
much greater activity than it has for
years, while livestock production has
more than doubled.
