SCHOOLS ARE TO OPEN MONDAY
Truancy Laws, However, win Not be
Enforced.

The Grangeville public schools, which
have been closed for two and one-half
months because of the epidemic of Span
ish influenza, will be opened Monday.
This decision was reached at q special
meeting of the board of education, Tues
day morning.
The following statement was given
out:
cat present public sentiment seems
to indicate that the school patrons are
unanimous in the wish that school be
resumed at once. Although there will
be, no doubt, a few cases OF influenza
at different times all winter, the Of
ficials feel that pupils will incur no
more danger in school than elsewhere.
If any parent, however, feels that it is
unsafe to send his children, he will do
so at his own risk. The school board
will not attempt to enforce the law re-
garding school attendance until the last
echo of influenza has died out.
"Every possible effort will be made
to safeguard the health of pupils. The
physicians have consented to direct
the parents of families suffering with
influenza not to send their children to
school; also they have consented to re-
port the names of such, families TO the
school office. The teachers will ex
clude all such pupils from school dur
ing the period of sickness, and they
will take the liberty to ask any child
who is apparently not in good health
to remain at home until the nature of
his illness can be determined.
"Of course every thoughtful parent
has been anxious for the time to arrive
when school could be opened with safety
They will not be impatient, however, if
a child is sent home, and his ailment
proves to be only a cold instead of in
fluenza. A friendly, goodnatured feel
ing of cooperation is the spirit of

Says He Can Winter Alone.

Mr.. Deflong, at the time he left Flor
enct, tried to persuade Seaberg to come
to Grangeville to spend the winter, but
he refused to do so, saying he could
care for himself.
An idea of the winters at Florence
may be derived from observations made
by Mr.. Deflong, who spent the last
two winters in the camp. During the
winter of 1867 total snowfall at Flor
ence was 43.9 feet, and in the winter
Of 1918 the snowfall was 37.S., On
April l, 1917 Mr. Deflong measured the
depth of the snow, which was well pack
ed. and found it to be s.4 feet deep.
On April l, 1918 the snow was packed
for depth of s.3 feet in the open.

REUNIONS ARE NUMEROUS

Merchants.

II was a typical Christmas day. With
all Camas Prairie covered with snow,
.leds were much in evidence on country
roads and city streets. With sleigh
bells ringing out their joyous holiday
music, many were the merry parties
that olided here and there across the
prairie to the homes of friends to spend
Christmas day. And many were the
family reunions held on that day, with
relatives from near and far, including
numerous returned soldiers and sailors,
who once again surrounded the old home
Preside.
Customary Christmas exercises in the
churches and schools were not held, be-
cause of the influenza epidemic, and
there were no Christmas services in the
Protestant churches of Grangeville. In
the Catholic church a Christmas mass
was said on Christmas morning.
Local business men declare that the
Christmas trade was far in excess of
their expectations. Many lines of
Christmas merchandise were exhausted
several days before Christmas day. Be
cause of the war, local business men
were reluctant to purchase heavily in
Christmas goods, fearing that they
would be unable to dispose of their pur-
shases.

one exception, the returned soldiers and

That John Seaberg, the recluse miner,

month, persisted when his cabin home at
Florence burned to the ground, is the
opinion of Al Deflong, Florence miner,
who is in Grangeville for the winter,
"Seaberg was paralyzed, said Mr..
Deflong. He most always smoked
pipe, and because his bands were so
paralyzed that he could not strike a
match, he continually kept burning in
his cabi ma tallow candle, the flame of
which he used to light his pipe. He
kept the candle burning day and night,
and I believe that in some way the
cabin caught fire from the candle at
night, while Seaberg was asleep, and
burned to the ground. Seaberg, think,
1erished in the flames"

POLES DEMAND PASSAGE FOR
 THEIR TROOPS
Ultimatum Sent to German Generals Demanding Pass age Over Railway Held by Huns to Wilma

WARSAW, Dec. 27.-(By the As sociated Press. )-The Polish govern ment has issued an ultimatum to Ger many demanding the right of passage by Polish troops over German-held railways to Wilma. which city is threatened by the bolsheviki.
 The ultimatum was sent to German Generals Hoffman and von Falken- heyn by General Shedtidsky, chief of the Polish general staff, who acted under instructions given him by Gen. Joseph Pilsudski, military head of the Polish government.
 Owing to the difficulties of com- municating with Berlin, the Germans asked an extension of the time in which an answer to the ultimatum was required.
 The Poles also demand the linking up Of the Polish and Lithuanian rail ways southwest of Bialystock for a distance of 12 kilometers.
 If the Berlin answer is unfavorable the Poles are expected to use all their forces to prevent the fall Of Wilma to the bolsheviki. They have requested the aid of the French com mander at Buda Pest, urging joint expedition.
