Hun Plots Against America.

These documents further show that

the United States was drawn into it
Tin 1910, Germany already was set

these documents lay bare new strata

story of human treachery for gold.
The intrigue appears to have been

revolution staged by Berlin.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bOlshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of muir
der and excuses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff.
They show how the paid agents of
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
bolshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nomic policy wholly in the interest of
Germany, and to the shame and deg
radiation of Russia.

GUS HILLS BIG MINSTRELS
COMING HERE JANUARY 18TH

Gus Hills Big Minstrels will be the
next attraction at the Opera Mouse for
two performances only, matinee and
night, January 18th. This is the larg-
est all white minstrel organization that
has ever played Americas, numbering
sixty people, headed by Americas fay
orite comedian, the great and only
George Wilson; also Eddie Mazier and
many others. This is what the Nor
felix VirginianJPilot says about it:
THE lover Of minstrelsy who
wouldn't be pleased with the Offering
of Gus Hills Ministries, at the Audi
torium this week, deserves not the til
tie Of loved Not that this is the
only taste catered to! There's plenty
of harmony for the music lover, plen-
ty Of fun for the jokester, and plenty
Joy the art of terpischOre. The crouch
that can't be cured by George Wilson
in his talk on Topics of the Day
needs the services of a brain specialist
while any case of the double-dyed
blues that isn't dispelled by Eddie Ma
| zier and w H Thompson in their skit,
entitled Some Jub," must clearly be
hopeless
Mr. Hill has collected an aggrega-
ton of black-faced performers of both
the old school and the new, with
George Wilson, we'll known to the pa
irons of this form of amusement in
years gone by, as the topliner, and
| fully a dozen stars of the secon mag
nitude in the supporting cast. The
action includes, besides the usueal
songs and dances, several excellent
| specialties in the form of comedy aero
bats, sword drill and two clever
sketches entitled, Scenes in Black
vile and the Black Politician, while
| the finishing touch of the production is
| found in the full-sized orchestra that
| accompanies the show. Taken alto

can't help but please the admirer of
the black-face form of entertainment .
Watch for the big street parade at

On the other hand, there are some

This plan was favorably re-
ceived by the sugar refining IN
dug5ry, which had been on war
basis almost from the beginning
Of the European War.
The war had brought The Allies
into the Cuban market, resulting
in severe domestic and interna-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices of refined sugar, both to
the American public and TO the
Allies, rose under ts3is forccd draft.
Domestic sugar refiners, since
the outbreak Of the European War
not only have saseSuarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
in the world.
This brilliant record is due
largely to the fact that sugar re-
filming is in the hands Of large
business units, with an excess Of
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs, and SO far
all demands Of foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1917 there was
a serious attempt at the diSor-
Sanization Of the sugar refining
industry, following q long series
Of attempts at destruction Of sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were widely circulated senSa-
tional reports predicting q sugar
famine and sugar shortage, caus-
ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat time, evenwith the assur-
ance Of ample supplies On hand,
retail sugar prices rose in some
sections to 20 and Is cents a pound.
The efforts of the American
Sugar Refining Company to allay
public alarm, TO check boarding,
to accept a price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured, and 10 distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade, were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies
Of sugar in far-away Java which
ordinarily would have gone TO
Europe, yet the necessity for saw
ing ships became SO great that
Europe turned to Cuba for even
larger supplies than previously.
II takes a cargo ship $50 days 10
make round hip between Eng
land and Java, while a round trip
between England and Cuba can
be made in so days.
Under these circumstances
and seemingly to avoid paying
proposed United States war taxes
on refined sugar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordin arily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions, and especial
ly the necessity of saving ships,
In war time and at all times it i
Of the public we serve.

led the United States and the
Allied Nations to urge upon the
sugar industry the adoption by
voluntary agreement Of the
original Ftoover plan, under the
authority Of the Food Control
Act, passed August 10, 1917.
The cane-su6ar refiners and the
beet-Sugar producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as a
patriotic act in the interest Of the
American people and as an aid to
the Allies.
This is the significance of the
appointment by the United States
Food Administration of the Inter-
national Sugar Com mittee to
which the Allies send representa-
tiveS for England. France, Italy
and Canada, and TO which the
United States contributes three
members.
Upon the success Of the opera.
ton Of the International Sugar
Committee under the directions Of
the Allied Governments, acting
FOR practically half the civilized
world, will depend the readjust-
ment Of the worlds sugar markets.
This plan is full Of promise to
ali the nations party TO the con.
vention.
1t is an assurance that sugar,
although comparatively cheap
in view Of war conditions, will not
by reason either of competitive
or speculative activity be in
creased in wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized in
price with sufficient profit to pro-
ducerS, refiners and merchants TO
maintain and stimulate produc-
ton and to cover the cost Of re-
filming and Of distribution.
The marketing of Domino Cane
Sugars in cartons and small cotton
bags by this Company has helped
amazingly during the pinch Of
the fall months in giving q wide
distribution among the retailers
of the reduced sugar supplies.
While barrel formerly was the
unit Of the grocer the same amount
of sugar put up in cartons and
small cotton bags can now be di-
vided between two or more GrcCerS
and SO serve a larger number of
people and prevent boarding.
It will be necessary for srocers
and consumers TO watch carefully
their distribution and purchases
during the approaching period of
readjustrnent. The refinerieS are
now starting up and supplies of
raw sugar coming forward, but it
will take weeks, and possibly
months. for the return of normal
conditions.
Housewives can aid in conserv-
ing the sugar supply by buying
these package sugars.

VISITS LUCKY SWEDE.
Property Well Equipped and Work
Progressing Satisfactorily.

John F.. Ferguson. secretary treas
urer of the Lucky Swede Gold & Cop
per Mining company, returned Mon
day from visit to the property of
the company, which is located on the
ST. Joe, near Falcon, and about two
miles from the Milwaukee railroad,
with which it is connected by a good
wagon road. Mr.. Ferguson says the
company has a complete plant for
mining development, consisting of a
40 40-horsepoWer gasoline engine, q
drill compressor, we'll equipped black
smith shop, all housed in substantial
buildings, and good buildings for the
accommodation of employees. Morris
Pearson, president and manager OF
the company, with his wife lives at
the property and gives his personal
attention to its development. The
crosscut is now in over 500 feet and
it is expected that the vein will be
reached by Christmas
Returning by way of Saltese, Mr..
Ferguson visited the Tarbox, and like
all others who inspect the mine, he
was enthusiastic in describing the
large amount of ore in sight and the

ROBERT D. JONES FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE
POPULAR KELLOGG MAN TAKES
IMPORTANT PLACE ON RE-
PUBLICAN TICKET.

Last week the republican state
committee selected Robert O. Jones,
of Kellogg, for secretary of state to
fill the vacancy caused by the with
avail of w. W. Won Cannon, of
Standpoint. The committee could
hardly have made a better selection
both from the standpoint of qualifi-
cations for the position and personal
popularity. Mr.. Jones grew to man
hood in the COeur d'Alene district, at
tended the public schools of Kellogg
Wardner, worked in the adjacent
mines, and entered the state univer-
sity at Moscow, where he graduated
with honors. Following his gradua-
ton he served one term in the state
legislature, and the campaign follow
ing he made a strong but unsuccess-
full race for the republican nomination
for congress. About three years age
he went to Washington as the private
secretary to Senator Brady, which
position he held until the senator's
death. He has been admitted to the
bar and planned to take up the prac-
tice of his profession until he was
rendered a place on the state ticket

PATRICK W. MURPHY.

One week ago yesterday the mortal
remains of Patrick w. Murphy were
followed by a host of friends to their
final resting place. Death came to
him so suddenly and Unexpectedly
that it is difficult even now to realize
that he is gone This is not because
he occupied a conspicuous place in
this city, for he was essentially a
quiet, reserved and unobtrusive man.
Nevertheless he had a wide circle of
friends in this community which had
been his home for many years, and
none knew him but to respect his up
thetic nature. No fulsome eulogy Is
needed to cherish his memory. With
out establishment his life was a beau
tiful story of faithful industry, devo-
ton to family, moral rectitude, relig-
ious reverence and loyal citizenship
All of these ennobling attributes he
possessed and practiced without af-
fectation, and 50 when the shadow of
death fell upon him he viewed it with
the calm serenity that had character
lied his life and passed to
The undiscovered country
Like one who gathers the drapery of
his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
Pat Murphy's life was his own best
eulogy, and this brief tribute from one
who knew him intimately for many
years simply reflects the high esteem
and affection in which he was held by
all who enjoyed his acquaintance ant
close friendship.

BIG CREEK MINING COMPANY
MAY MAKE RECORD MONTH.

From present indications the
Big Creek Mining company will
make a record of five carloads of
ore shipped this month. according
to a statement made by G.. Scott
Anderson, president and manager
of the company, last Tuesday,
This will be the best record to
date although this can no doubt
be increased with the passing of
time the company got into posi-
tion to increase its output, the
difficulty in getting miners be-
came more and more acute, with
the result that for several months
the mine has been short of men
much of the time, This month
the situation so far as Big Creek
is concerned has been much inn
proved. and it is upon this basis
that the company expects to raise
the shipping record. The mine is
in good condition, with plenty of
available ore, and the only diff
Guilty has been in getting 1t out.
Two teams are engaged in haul
ing ore from the mine to the rail-
road, a distance of about two
miles. Last Monday carload of
$4,000 pounds was shipped. Nor
mally the Big Creek company
employees about 25 men.

E. J. ROBERTS LOOKS OVER
PINE CREEK RIGHT OF WAY.

1t is learned that when Judge
George Turner, president of the
Constitution Mining company, Wis
tied Pine creek last week he was
accompanied by E. ]. Roberts,
formerly general manager of the
Federal Mining & Smelling COM
pany, and a railroad constructor
and engineer of wide experience
in Canada and the west. The two
gentlemen remained over night at
the Constitution and it was OBJ
served that upon his return trip
Mr. Roberts walked over the right
of way, evidently giving close at
tention to the character of ground
over which the proposed line
passes. In view of the prohibitive
bids made by contractors for the
construction of the road, which
have caused the government to
abandon building it at this time,
it is assumed that Judge Turner
induced Mr.. Roberts to look over
the route in order to obtain his
estimate of the cost of construc-
ton. Judge Turner is now or
soon will be on his way to Wash
ington to make further represen-
tations to Director General Nc
Adoo in the hope of having the re-
cent order countermanded and a
contract awarded to build the
road.
