WIN Develop Mineral claims

veioping manganese claims he has Sc
cured on Little Eagle mountain near
Shady. Mr.. Spires is experienced in
the business of mining, having been
interested some years ago in Colora-

claims surveyed and gotten ready for
the opening up of the mineral bodies
on the land He is confident that the
development will reveal high grade
manganese in large enough quaint
ties to justify putting in a mill,

DIR. BROWN TALKS
ON SMUT QUESTION
MEMBER OF FEDERAL BUREAU OF
CHEMISTRY TELLS HOW 10
PREVENT THIS PEST

Despite the heavy rain and bad roads
there was fairly good attendance at
the lecture given this afternoon by
Dr. H. H. Brown, of Washington, d. c.,
a member of the federal bureau of
chemistry, who is giving series of
illustrated lectures on smut, it's causes
and prevention and the best methods
of dealing with what has become a
very expensive pest to the grain grow
ers of the west. The lecture was CIV
en- in the Orpheum theater, the use of
which was donated by Mr.. and Mrs.
Tucker.
Accompanying DR.. Brown are George
L. Zundell, pathologist of the bureau
of plant industry, who is working with
the state colleges of Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho; and Raymond L. Bald
win of Portland, Ore, scientific as
sistant in smut dust explosion inves-
tigation.
The lecture was illustrated by slides
and motion pictures, showing the eff
leCIS Oh SMUT 6AplOolOnS, nOW oAhul
grows, and many pictures that were in
teresting and instructive. Dr. Brown
showed, with these illustrations, how
smut grows, how forceful it is when
it explodes, showing great steel ele-
vators wrecked by smut explosions
resulting from belt friction in the ele-
vator, and told how smut can best be
prevented.
Mr. Zundell talked on the control
and treatment of smut in small grains,
giving much valuable information for
the grain growers, millers and ware
house and elevator men present. Ia
ken as a whole the lecture was very
interesting and should bring good re-
suits in Latah county where the smut
problem is one of the serious prob
lens confronting the farmers and the
ravages of which are said to cost we'll
into the millions of dollars in the |
northwest annually.
The name, address and business OF |
every one who entered the theater to |
hear the lecture was taken on card
and will be put on the mailing list for
literature dealing with the smut prob
lem. Some of the points covered by
the speakers will be given in to-
paper.

maintaining their control of the cross
ings of the Jordan further south.
From the official reports and spe-
cial dispatches filed by correspondents
at the front there come limitations
that heavy fighting may be resumed
at any time.
There is a feeling along the French
front that the Germans may attack in
the Ypres, Arras and Amiens sectors
at the same time. These blows, while
carried On Independently, would real
ly be phases of a new attempt to cut
through the lines in the Somme sector,
eliminate the Arras sector and carry
the high ground to the southwest of
Ypres.
1t has been pointed out by observers
that an attack on the Arras sector
either on the apex between Arras and
Lens, or on the sides of the allied
lines as they stretch back from those
cities, must come before the Germans
can hope to carry their advance in
either Flanders or Picardy much fur
Their. 1t is reported that heavy forces
are being assembled before Arras for
the expected attack.
Little relative to the internal stu
alton in Austria has come over the
cables, but from Serbian sources it is
learned that on at least two occasions
there have been clashes between the
population of that country
and the Germans.
The methods by which the German
authorities have dealt with
the Ukranians have been denounced
in both Berlin and Vienna by socialist
leaders.

Perhaps the most favorable report
ever received by the University OF
! Idaho military department is now on
file in the Commandments office, a
copy of the report of Lieutenant
Cyrus E. Digger, who inspected the
battalion two weeks ago, having just
been received. The military depart
ment has not only met all the re-
quirements of the R. 0. T. C. salts
factorily but is given special mention
before all other schools by the Ex-
aiming Board of the Western Di-
vision for the excellency of its work
during the past year.
"The board desires to make special
mention of the excellent work dur
ing the last school year in the follow
ing institutions:

"Throop College of Technology.

"Mt Tamalpais Military Academy.
The inspector says that the mill

Idaho Captain Almost Recovered
From Injury Received In
Initial Game of Season

Coach Bleamaster's most likely
chance to break into tie baseball
column will come Thursday when the
Montana Bruins invade the local cam
pus for a "rassle." Four defeats at
the hands of the Washington men
across the way have not dampened
the determination of the Idaho ball
clouters. Hopes for a victory are
furthermore inspired by the possible
return of Captain Jimmy Almquist to
his position at first sack. His wrist
is still weak from the severe sprain
received in the first w. S. C. contest,
but he may be able to resume his
mitt and take his cid place in the
cleanup position on the Idaho bat
ting list.
Homer Mcdonald, who delivered
the ball in the last two State College
games, will probably appear on the
mound for Idaho in the oMntana con-
test. Wade is still suffering from a
lame ankle, while Rettig's arm re-
mains in such condition as to. give
small hope of his ever again twiriing
the pill in an intercollegiate game. 1
Short practice hours have handi-
capped hte Montana diamond men,
but they come confident of chance
for victory in spite of this and the
fact that it is their first conference
game this spring. Witt, veteran,
will probably oppose Coach Blea-
masters men as hurler, with Nc
Kain and Caulkina composing the
'emainder of the Bruin pitching staff.
The rest of the Montana lineup is
till conjecture.
The game will be called at the

Years ago, when the BilIows were
trying to keep Dora from marrying

Dora. The Billows didn't think mach
Of the Ripple family, Claude Callan
writes in Kansas City Star. In fact,
they told Dora that II she took Ma
thaniel she would be marrying be-
meath herself.
Mrs. Ripple didn't know that the
Billows considered themselves better
than the Ripples, so she was not angry
at the family. And she liked Dora.
'T think Dora is a good, sweet
girl" she said to her son, "but any
body can look at her and tell she isn't
able to do a days work.
s'You can do as you please, but If I
were you never would marry deli
cate girl like Dora. / know how much
work a woman has TO DO in a home and
l know that Dora Billow can't do 1t,
If you were able to hire help it would
be all right. Your poor old mother
never has had any help, but / would be
glad for my sons wives to keep help
If my sons could afford 1t.
"Now, as / said, haven't a word I'd
say against Dora, but If / we're you
and wanted to marry would find d
girl strong enough to make a good
wife. It is nice to be pretty. Your
papa will tell you that I was pretty
when / married him, but beauty counts
for very little If a woman is too weak
to do her work.
"Just look at your Cousin Henry's
wife. She is sick half the time, and
that poor boy has to spend every dol
lar he makes. If Nora had been a big,
strong woman, who could have helped
him, he would be well fixed today"
After listening to this talk Nathaniel
married Dora and In about a month
his mother visited them. When she
returned home she said to Mr.. Ripple:
II think Nathaniel married mighty
well. That little girl had all the
clothes on the line when got there,
and they were as pretty and white as
you ever saw. / said from the very
beginning that Dora would make Ma
