BONNERS FERRY CELEBRATES
THE ENDING OF THE GREAT WAR

Last evening the people of Boomers
Ferry celebrated in every conceivable
manner the ending of the great war
and when the crowds finally dispersed
for their homes they were weary and
raw throated bunch incapable of ex-
pressing any longer their enthusiasm
and delight with singing and yells.
The impromptu celebration really
began early Monday morning when it
was quickly noised about that the
Germans had signed the armistice and
the war was practically over. This
news was verified easily and then the
whistles were blown and the bells
rang, and the business houses of the
city were soon decorated with all the
flags and bunting to be found in the
stores.
Last night huge bonfire was built
at the south end of Main street and
soon after seven o'clock the crowds
began. to gather. Senator w. S.
Walker started off the celebration with
a short appropriate speech and then
for the remainder of the night the peo-
pie enjoyed themselves singing pat
riotic and popular airs, yelling, blow
ing horns, and making noise in any
and every way possible.
1t was~a good natured crowd-every
body was happy and everybody wanted
everybody else to know how happy they
were. Everyone was glad to celebrate
the ending of days and weeks and
months of nervous strain and worry
and anxiety for loved ones. 1t is not
possible that there will be occasion
for a like celebration as long as the
world lasts.

Lumber Ban Lifted Wednesday

Good news for the lumber industry
in the Inland Empire was conveyed
Wednesday in dispatches which an
nounced that the ban against the ship
ment of lumber had been lifted as far
Illinois and Wisconsin are concerned.
There are two features of the an
nouncement worthy of consideration.
In the first place this is the first
move toward lifting the ban on lum-
Der shipments which has been oper-
ating against the Inland Empire mills
for the past two months. Since the
ban on shipments lumbermen have
been greatly worried and were COM
PEELED TO operate largely in the dark.
The opening of the Chicago territory
is considered the most important feat
ure of the announcement This ter
ritory uses a vast amount of indust-
rial lumber such as the Inland En-
pire mills turn out. 1t is thought that
the ban on shipments to other. terri
tories in the east might be lifted a
little at a time and the lumbermen are
anxiously waiting until they can shin
to the Pennsylvania coast.

TRADED TICKET TO SAVE NUGENT
Double Crossing Done To Keep Nugent
at Washington. ID. G.

Everyone knows how the election in
the state went but there are many who
do not know exactly why it went the
way it did. 1t would really be diff
cult for the average man to figure it
out, but those on the outside, who no
longer observe the secrecy maintained
during the campaign, are talking and
making it easier to form safe deduct
ions. Besides, the election returns
show many things.
The outstanding result of the elect
ion is that the democratic party of
Idaho has been reduced to O nullity.
1t was first stolen by the non-partisan
league leaders in the primary elect
ion. In this process it had demo-
cratic aid from Senator Nugent and
former Senator Fred T. Dubois. Sen
ator Nugent and his advisors in Wash
ington realized that he had no show as
against a republican lineup in Idaho
They felt it would be possible to hold
most of the democratic voters through
the influence and pleading of the nat
ional democratic administration and
with the league vote, manipulated by
shrewd politicians, it would be cinch
1t was hardly that, because Senator
Nugent won what must be to him a
humiliating victory-barely scratched
through. If there had been anything
like the normal vote in the state, he
would have been decisively defeated.
He won by a few votes but he takes
his seat on the wreckage of the dem
ocratic party in Idaho, perhaps the
most notable party sacrifice in the his
tory of politics for the sole benefit of
one man.
In the operation not only was the
democratic party ruined but the non
partisan league was slaughtered as
a political entity. In this regard
there can be few regrets. The one
man ambition for Office permitted no
obstacles, however, whatever the cost.
The republican state ticket was
elected by about the average republi-
can majority in the state but the re-
publican party had lost lot of votes
through members joining the nom
partisan league The results show
that the party recouped and it was not
from the non-partisan league, which
stuck" 1t was also stuck
The republican state ticket was the
beneficiary of democratic votes traded
in the interests of Nugent He was
desperate. His managers were des-
perate, so the word was sent out tC
trade off the non-partisan state ticket
That was done. The On-partisans
wonder what happened. The story is
told here The democrats lined vi
with Nugent, abandoned the leaguers
trading against Gooding.
So we have one party wrecked anC
another murdered so John F. Nugeni
might stay in office.

It's dollar and seventy cents for every man,

figure it on the basis of boys"
"Of boys" he questioned. II do not under

It's less than fifteen cents day for each of our
soldiers and sailors" answered Fifteen cents
a day to give them warmth and comfort and
entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the
thought of mother and of God.
Fifteen cents a day for boy: two for

HOG ISLAND SHIP
YARDS UNDER PROBE
WILSON ORDERS INVESTIGATION
SOME SERIOUS ACTS ARE
ALLEGED IN CHARGES.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President Will
son has directed Attorney General
Gregory to investigate the much dis
cussed Hog Island shpyard contracts,
which have been adversely criticised by
the senate commerce committee, and
determine if there has been any Grim
inal misuse Of government funds.
The president also directed the attor.
ney general to work in conjunction with
Chairman Hurley of the shipping board
in his investigation,
About S47OOO,OOO Of government
money has been involved in the Hog
Island project in which the American
international Corporation, headed by
Frank A. Nanderlip president of the
National City Bank, has figured.
An investigation by the department
of commerce was recommended by
Chairman Hurley Of the shipping board,
who asked that an assistant to the at.
torney general be sent to Hog Island
to work with Assistant General Mana
ger Bowles, Of the emergency fleet cor
poration. BOwles was put in active
charge of the yard recently.
Bowles has been directed by Chairman
Hurley to put the Hog Island yard on
an economic basis. Shipping board of.
iicials are Of the opinion that there has
been nothing worse at Hog Island than
inefficient management and a reckless
spending Of funds, but they want to
ascertain all the facts.
To BE Biggest of All.
The Hog Island shipyard on the Della.
ware River near Philadelphia is planned
to be the greatest in the country with
more than fifty ways on which to lay
down ships.
The American international Corpora.
tion, through its subsidiary corporation,
the American International Shipbuild.
ing Company, has contracts for its con.
struction and for shipbuilding there
from the emergency fleet corporation
acting for the United States shipping
board.
Testimony before the senate com.
merce committee investigating the
question Of shipping contracts, had de-
veloped statements that the government
will be obliged to spend between $40.
100000 and $50 100000, where govern
ment and civilian experts estimated
$4,000 600 would suffice.
1t has developed among other things
at the senate committees hearing that
Colonel Black Of Philadelphia, one OF
the former owners Of Hog Island, got
$1,000 an acre for his property, whereas
a year ago he held an option on Hog
Island at $1,000 an acre.
Principal Point OF Attack.

MAY SAVE LIFE Of
QUILLIE NJ 'CONNELL
INTERESTING QUESTION COMES
Up IN CASE OF SLAYER

Of Sheriff George +. Arnold of Lincoln
County in August of last year. The
question which hinges around the re

attorneys familiar with the case.
Under the law stay OF execution
in ease in which the death penalty
has been imposed can be granted only
by the criminal court of appeals an,
the governor Of the state. In McCon
nells case, the stay of execution wa
granted by the trial judge, Charles Il

suggested, may serve to set aside the
