INFLUENZA BAN IS
PUT ON IN PALOUSE
TOWN HAS RE-
TURN OF DISEASE WITH SEW
ERAL RECENT DEATHS

During the past week the influenza
coupled with the pneumonia, which
in SO many cases follows in its wake,
has taken a heavy toll in life in the
Inland Empire For the first time
since the disease made it's appearance
last fall, it reached point during the
week in this community where it may
be considered an epidemic, several
dozen cases developing. So far, how
ever, there have not been more than
two deaths in the community which
were directly traceable to influenza,
speaking well for the care given the
patients by the local physicians who
are doing everything in their power
to combat the disease, and for the
nursing given in the individual cases,
usually by members of the family, as
it is impossible to secure trained
nurses.
At the meeting of the city council
last Thursday night, sitting as a
board of health, with DIR. w. S. Dartt,
city health officer, present, it was de-
cided by unanimous vote to put the
ban on all public gatherings again.
The churches, schools, theatres, ETC.,
are therefore closed until such time
as the officials may deem it safe to
lift the ban.
That the disease may be commune
able from one person to any. number
of others who may be in the same
room, was proven beyond doubt the
latter part of last week when dozen
or more high school pupils took sick
within "a hours, some one of their
number evidently having spread the
disease at school either Thursday or
Friday morning. All but two mem
bers of the sophomore class now have
the disease land all but one member
of the high school glee club.
1t is estimated now that there are
SO cases in the town, many of them,
however, we'll on the way to recovery,
while others have taken down within
the past "a hours. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the disease has passed the
peak here, and the physicians report
that there are no serious cases 1t
is desired that every precaution be
taken and it is believed that the
people generally are closely following
out the rules laid down at the begin
ming of the epidemic by the state
board of health.-Palouse Republic.

SAY COAL IS BEST
FOR MAKING HEAT
IDAHO EXPERTS SHOW THAT
NONP RITZ A N LEAGUE
SCHEME IMPRACTICABLE

An interesting hearing is being held
in Boise to determine the heating
value of certain agenGes and experts
declare that coal is more satisfactory
than any other agency to be had In
this state. The testimony will be of
interest in the light of the effect it
will have on the proposed nonpartizan
league scheme to have the farm
houses of Idaho 'het up with cleo
tricity from state owned power plants.
The following dispatch from Boise
tells of the hearing:
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 12.-For real
heating efficiency the old-fashioned
coal stove can not be equaled, Idaho's s
public utilities commission was told
today by witnesses who are testify
ing on behalf of water-power COM
panies in the hearing on the question
of the feasibility Of supplying cleo
trical heat from waterpower plants
to the homes in towns and cities In
southern Idaho.
Grade Heating Efficiency.
Heating efficiency at present is
graded at Is per cent for the coal
stove, so per cent for the hot air
furnace and SO per cent for hot water
plants. In Montpelier, taken as the
standard south Idaho town and figur-
ing coal at $7.65 per ton, a six-room
house can be heated for $39 per year
with coal stoves; for $40 per year
with a hot air furnace and for $58
per year for hot water furnace.
Electric heat for same dwelling would
cost S318.
Experts On Stand
Witnesses today were DR.. Joseph
H. Merrill, dean Of the electrical en-
gineering department of the Univer-
sity of Utah; Dr. H. G. Miller. pro
fessor of physics and electrical en-
gineering at the University OF Idaho,
and H. M. Ferguson, Utah electrical
engineer.
The talked-of project, which played
a large part in the last Idaho political
campaign, of heating Boise. and the
homes of the surrounding irrigation
districts with power generated at the
great Arrow Rock dam was declared
by the experts, except at
a cost far in excess of the present
prices of coal and wood.

CAMP LEWIS BOYS COMING
HOME BY REGULAR TRAIN

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, Dec.
Announced plans for sending dis
charged men home from this camp ac-
cording to localities from which they
were inducted into service have been
abandoned, it became known today In
stead the men are allowed to follow their
own wishes as to travel instead of going
on special trains.
Monday it was announced a special
train would take 500 Californians to San
Francisco, from which city they would
travel as individuals to their home sta.
tions. At the last moment it was found
impossible to make up the special tram
and with the exception of two special
cars on a regular train the men Travelled
as individuals. Since that time It has
been found impossible to make up a con-
tingent large enough for special tram
although many Californians are leaving
daily.

MOSCOW CITIZENS
GIVEN WARNING
PRACTICALLY A QUARANTINE
PLACED ON THOSE HAVING
DISEASE IN HOMES

There have been 10 new cases of in
fluenza reported SO far this week as
compared with II last week, 2o the week
before and 80 the previous week. The
number of cases reported this week in
cludes two just outside the city limits.
None are reported in the university.
In order to prevent the spread of the
disease again, DR.. Adair, city health
officer, has made ruling that persons
who have influenza in their homes must
not get out on the street or mingle with
others and are not to get out until given
physicians certificate. This is virtual
ly quarantine, but it leaves the matter
largely to the honor of the persons
affected His order follows:
''In order to free the city of remaining
influenza, all persons having inuuenza in
the city will be from this date, required
to have a permit from their attending
physician, stating that he no longer
recognizes any contagion or danger in
the patient mingling with the public be-
fore the Individual will be permitted to
come up town and go into public places
or private homes. Parties having no
physician, yet having suspicious cases or
the so-called severe cold, etc, in their
homes, will be expected to cooperate
and thus protect the public.
"The epidemic has not increased any
this week, so far there has been 10 cases
reported But we must not slacken our
efforts to clear the city of what cases
we have. I would especially call your
attention to the article by Surgeon Gen
eral Blue in last nights Star-Mirror in
which he warns against the crowd and
sneezing or coughing without the use of
the handkerchief"

LIBERTY BONDS
q SHOULD Be HELD
SECRETARY OF TREASURY IS
SUES APPEAL TO AMERICAN
CITIZENS TO HOLD ON

Hold your Liberty bonds and war
savings certificates. Hold them first,
because they are the best investment
in the world backed by every resource
in the United States is the appeal
of Secretary of the Treasury William
G.. McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district Liberty loan
headquarters.
Following is the secretary's state
ment:
"Hold your Liberty bonds and War
Savings certificates. Hold them first,
because they are the best investment
in the world, backed by every re-
source in the United States.
"Hold them because you have made
sacrifices in order to buy them. Why
pass on to some one else the contract
you have entered into with your gov
ernment?
"Hold them because, even though
the war may be over, it has not yet
been paid for. The treasury depart
ment must soon issue more bonds.
Every sale now made by you makes
future government issues more diff
ficult and more expensive. This ex-
pense can be borne only by the people
of the United States; therefore, why
add to the already large burden?
ssHold them because the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be true friend in time of
need, guaranty against the fear of
debt and insurance against real hard
ships.
ssHold them because the need for saw
ing is not over. Government expenses
are today larger than at any time dur
ing the war. Our boys in France and
Germany must be paid and fed and
clothed, and, when their work is over

The New England Club is one OF

Washington, April 30.-A deadlock
over mail contracts involving the
postoffice department and the Inter
island Steam Navigation Company
which has a monopoly Of transporta-
ton between the islands of the Ha-
waiian group may result in applica-'
ton for congressional action, accord.
ing to Otto Praeger, second assis-
tant postmaster general.
Four-year-contracts for carrying
the mails between the islands are ex-
piring, and when new ones were pro-
posed in February, the department
found that acceptance of the bids
would entail an annual payment of
more than 100 per cent over the $780,
900 formerly charged for the service.
The islands, scattered over several
degrees of latitude and longitude
above the equator, are still being
served but the government has re-
fused to pay the new price, has Of
fered instead Is per cent increase,
and the company has refused that.
"As a remedy, the department is
considering asking Congress for leg
islation which will compel transpor-
tation companies to accept mail for
carriage at the rates made for carry
ing express" Mr. Praeger said "The
Hawaiian situation is typical of 9th
ers arising in seaboard sections of
the United States. II we had now
power to compel the Hawaiian island
carriers to accept the mail as eX-
press, that situation could be cleared
up rapidly.
Also the same power, if granted
by congress, would operate to get
better and cheaper service elsewhere
in the United States"
Hawaiian mails are increasing in
volume, and in number of points of
destination to be served, the depart
ment records show Mail goes by
the trans-Pacifc steamers to Honolu-
lu, and thence is distributed by the
smaller ships making the inter-island
passages.
