LATE LETTERS FROM

The following letter was received
by the w. S. Young family OF Sur.
rev. N. D., Monday morning, from
ia late Lieutenant Howard Huston,
who died in a hospital in France on
July 10, from wounds received IN &C.

This letter has been received since

fish.
The lake abounds in pike and perch
and also pickerel and muskelongs and
they have an order there called "The
order of Muskies" and any one who
catches one of these large muskelongs
is given certificate. I found the
people there very progressive and
they expect to pave their city this
summer, thing which will be very
beneficial to the city on account Of
the sand roads.
The city is truly unfortunate in
losing the hotel which was situated
on Star Island last spring, by fire, but
however, it is hoped that this will be
rebuilt and have the hotel accommo-
dations greatly improved in the city.
Indians are very plentiful there in the
town and in the country. You can
see them bringing in their, wares and
blueberries for sale to the white man.
The famous John Smith, who is sup
posed to be one Of the oldest Indians
in Minnesota, is still alive and lives
at Cass Lake. I called at the home
of this famous Indian, but he was
away attending a big Indian celebra-
ton. There is no question DuC What
he is away over hundred years old,
as the government has his record for
that period.
Beside Cass Lake there are about
thirty-fve other lakes which are easy
to gain access to by automobile sor
launch through the Mississippi and
one can get all the fish and all kinds
of fish he desires. There are quite
number of cottages being built on
Star Island and from the appearance
it causes one to think that some day
this will be one of the most beautiful
summer resorts in the State.
Cass Lake is situated on what is
known as the Minnesota Scenic High
way and one Of the stopping points.
This trip over the Scenic Highway
being 1000 miles long and on this
trip one sees 10000 lakes.

condemn greed and over-reaching in war
"unpatriotic". Many farmers speaking
to us have voiced these sentiments and
hope the threshers will be just with

SECOND IDAHO TO STAY AWHILE
Considered Seasoned Troops and Held
as Police Troops In Huniand.

1t is not likely that members of the
old Second Idaho regiment will be
returned to Idaho soon. In fact it
may be months, if not a year, be-
fore they return. They are now con-
sidered seasoned troops and may be
held in Europe until the close of the
peace negotiations, watching the Huns
to see that they obey the terms of the
armistice and do not attempt to again
start hostilities, says the latest news
from the adjutant generals Office at
Boise.
All of the Idaho regiment troops
were in action on the battle fronts
during the closing weeks of the war
it is believed at the adjutant generals
department. The impression prevails
there that they will be held with other
veterans close to the German border
although no official word has been
received to that effect.
Companies A, B, G and d of the old
Second Idaho were assigned to the
146th field artillery. Companies E, f
G and H were assigned to the 116th
engineers and companies l, X, L and
M to a machine gun battalion, all OF
which were in action.

Boileau In An Honored Company

The 1873 Infantry, Arizona National
Guards, Col. e. t. Grinstead command,
ing, has been detailed as a guard of
honor during the stay of President
Wilson in Paris and the band of the
regiment has been named the official

She was the second actress to adopt

as follows:
Your God Mother wishes you and
my other boys God Speed; all | ask
is that you bring back to me a piece
of the Kaiser's mustache and if that
is gone when you get to Berlin, / will
be satisfied with lock of his hair as

may the God of war watch over you
and return you all safe after you have
helped make the world safer.

WORTHY OF GOVERNMENT AID
State Should Also Assist to Reclaim
Boundary County Lands

+. w. Anderson, of Spokane, and
the president of the First State Bank
of this city, was in town Wednesday to
attend the regular meeting of the
stockholders. While in town he call
ed attention to the fact that in the
state of Washington a determined eff
fort is being made to secure govern
ment and state aid for the reclamation
of arid and swamp tracts and that
Gov. Lister has gone to Washington
ID. c., to interest the government offic-
ials in the project, it being proposed
to use the reclaimed sections for the
homes of returned soldiers. Mr.. An
derson suggested that the people here
follow the plan of the citizens OF
Washington and make the effort of
their lives to secure government and
state appropriations for the drainage
of the Kootenai Valley Mr.. Ander-
son believes that the Kootenai Valley
project is far more feasible than any
of the Washington projects.
Both Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. A. J.
Kent are members of the international
and Interstate Drainage Commission
and they have sent the following tel
egram to Governor-elect d. w. Davis
calling to Mr.. Davis attention the
Kootenai Valley drainage project:
There are $4,000 acres of meadow
land in the Kootenai Valley in Bound
airy county which need drainage and
there are $4,000 acres of stump land
available for settlement. The recla-
nation of these thousands of acres
will increase the valuation of the
land at least S10,000,000 This land
when reclaimed, will support and make
homes for 900 more people. Your
constituents are asking your hearty
support and cooperation in this mat
ter"
Along this line it has been proposed
that a get-together meeting should
be held the first of the year at which
time some definite action should be
taken towards securing state and gov
eminent aid for the draining of the
overlooked lands and the stumping of
the cut-over lands.

IDAHO MUST
NOT FAIL NOW

AT the beginning of this great war
there was call for volunteers. Ida
no stepped forward with her full share
or more. When the draft was insti-
tuted, Idaho, of course, furnished her
full part. The need of funds to equip
and feed and transport and supply
with munitions, millions of men was
very great. Money had to be raised.
There were four successive Liberty
bond drives; Idaho did more than her
allotted share in each one of them.
In addition two billion dollars were
to be raised by the purchase of War
Savings Stamps. Idaho was allotted a
quota of between eight and nine mil
lions. The government is needing
and counting on the money from this
source.
Did Idaho start something which she
could not finish? And is she going
to be backed up into a corner and
have to acknowledge it? This query
is forced upon us by consideration of
the fact that she has accounted for
only three millions of her War Savings
quota, while she has much more than
that to take up during the short time
remaining before the end of the year.
OF course. it Is preposterous to suppose
for moment that Idaho cannot do her
full share in this respect 1t is sim
ply a question of whether she is de-
termined to do so or whether she Is
willing to have perfect good record
spoiled by falling down on her War
Savings quota. What an anticlimax
it would be, especially at one of the
greatest moments in world history
when the world war has been won
7 IL l.. n.
to it's knees. AS a citizen of Idaho it
seems almost too ridiculous for words
to suppose for a moment that with
the end in sight she will be too lazy
to finish her job in a workmanlike
manner
