troll of 13 men sent out when the raid
began. These men who were doing
patrol work have not been heard OF

The Germans have been claiming
"great victory over the Americans,
and announced that the Americans
had lost heavily and the Germans had
captured 12 prisoners. The American
report is that scores of Germans were
killed, 10 being found dead in one
place near the American trenches and
that "No Mans land" between the
German and American trenches was
literally strewn with German dead.
The Americans captured four German
prisoners and lost few killed and
wounded but no prisoners except the
patrol of 13 which is missing.

MEDIATE ACTION
LOCAL union GETS BUSY
WILL HAVE ELEVATOR WITH
CAPACITY OF AT LEAST
100000 BUSHELS

Moscow is to have another big grain
elevator to be built, owned and oper-
ated by the Moscow Farmers union
which has made a success of handling
sacked grain through its warehouse
and merchandise through its store in
Moscow. The meeting of the local
last Saturday evening was we'll at
tended and much enthusiasm was
manifested. When it became known
that the government had fixed max
imum price Of 20 cents as the cost
for sacks and that farmers will only
be allowed from seven to nine cents
bushel extra for sacked grain, the
determination of the farmers to build
an elevator and handle their grain
in bulk was increased.
A. S. Lyon, George Sievers, G. E. An
derson, ]. L. Naylor and Frank Slater
were appointed building committee
with instructions to take any action
they deemed necessary to get the
work started in time to have the ele-
vator completed before threshing be-
gins The committee which has been
soliciting funds reported having met
with greater success than had been
anticipated and the farmers are prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the ele-
vator being built. 1t was planned to
increase the size of the building from
that originally planned and the cost
is estimated at from $4,000 to 100000,
but the farmers will raise the money.
With sacks costing the farmers not
less than 25 cents each, delivered at
Moscow, and minimum of seven
cents per bushel (and it is certain
the farmers will be allowed the mini

will cost IL cents just for its use. The
farmers will pay 26 cents and get back

means 12 cents for the use of the |
sack and the sacks required to hold I
the grain that will be handled through |
the elevator this year will go long |
way toward building the elevator and |
it will last life time.
About 60 members of the local at
tended the meeting Saturday evening |

X-GOVERNOR STATES THE CASE
. OF POTATO GROWERS in
PLAIN WORDS
HE FEAR GREAT LOSS
PREDICTS HEAVY LOSSES IF RE-
LIEF is NOT SENT IN THE
NEAR FUTURE

F. R. Gooding, state fuel admins
traitor, chairman of the southern Idaho
council of defense, and one of the lead
ing farmers, stockmen and business
men of the state, has taken up the
fight to secure refrigerator cars to
ship the potatoes of Idaho to market.
Governor Goodings is public spirited
and is not afraid to speak plainly.
His letter to Senator Borah tells Of
conditions in this state as he has
found them. The letter follows:
Feb. 2S, 1918.
Hon. W. E. Borah,
Washington, d. G.
Dear Senator:
l am in receipt of your very kind
letter in which you advise me that
very little encouragement can be
given in the car situation for Idaho.
I regret very much to advise you,
Senator, that the car situation is
growing more serious each day. I am
in receipt of daily advice from Poca
tello of the number of refrigerator
cars received at Green River by the
Oregon Short Line and the records
show that during the last five days
the Oregon Short Line received only
II refrigerator cars. This is very
serious situation and unless there is
immediate improvement, it will mean
a great loss in our potatoes.
The people of Idaho are clearly en-
titled to know the reason for this car
shortage at this time, both for pota-
toes and hay, so if it is possible, we
can guard against such an unfortun-
ate condition in the future.
There are other matters, Senator,
besides the car shortage, Of which the
farmers of Idaho have right to COM
plain, and it is through their delega-
tion in congress that they must get
relief, and / know that you will be
glad to do all you can to relieve these
conditions.
l called your attention in my tele-
gram to the government buying pota-
toes on competitive bids, and buying
them for less than $1.00 hundred
through commission firms. By the
time the farmer furnishes the sack
and pays the commission, he receives |
from so to rs cents a hundred for his !
potatoes. This is so far below the
cost of production that l feel the po-
tato growers of Idaho have a right to !
protest, especially when they were en-
,ouraged by the government to plant
potatoes last spring when the seed
was worth from four to five cents a
pound
