WARM IN IDAHO
MILD WINTER BEING EXPERIEN
ED IN ALL PARTS OF THE
GEM STATE
We ARE IN BANANA BELT
Country West of Continental Divide
Sees No Really Cold Weather
Just Like California

While the eastern states and the up
per Mississippi and Missouri valley
states have been virtually frozen up,
with the temperture from six to forty
degrees below zero, a very mild winter
so far has been experienced in prac-
tically all parts of Idaho.
The country west of the continental
divide has seen no really cold weather
this winter. Newspapers from var
ious sections of Idaho comment on the
mild winter, and Boise papers declare
the capital city is in the banana belt.
so warm has been the weather there
during the month Of December.
Less Snow in Mountains
In the mountains there is far iron
the customary amount of snow, while
the lower lands have received gentle
spring-like rams which have caused the
grass to become prematurely green.
Lewiston reports weather similar to
that of California, while in Adams
county fishing with pole and line is
a favOrite winter pastime.
So far as Grangevile is concerned,
the winter here has been very mild.
There is no frost in the ground, and it
was just coincidence that the ground
was covered with snow on Christmas
day for in the evening the snow began
to melt and by the morning of Dec
ember 26 it had disappeared Due to
the winter rains, the roads are deep
with mud, making travel difficult.
North Idaho Rivers High.
The rains and melting of snow have
caused streams in northern Idaho to
rise. he water in both the Snake and
Clearwater rivers at Lewiston is at an
extraordinary height for this season of
the year Vast quantities of drift
wood are being carried downstream by
the current of the Clearwater.
Some idea of the marked difference
between the weather in Grangeville this
winter and that of last winter may be
gained from the observations of George
> Smith. Mr.. Smith last Saturday
noted the Temperature to be SO degrees
above zero, while on the same date in
1916, December % the mercury was
degrees below zero, showing n diff
ference in temperature of 20 degrees.
While Mr.. Smith does not keep a com
pletc record of the weather he does
make notations of temperatures on par
ticularlv warm or cold DAYS.

Idaho County Slayer is Given Christ
mas Pardon.


Frank Hye, sentenced from Idah,

Of ten years to life in the state peni
Tertiary at Boise for the murder OF

The Boise Statesman says:

"Gee, but | am happy he ex-
claimed to his friends as he left the

Hye claimed to have killed his wife
accidentally when he shot Kennedy,

against him in Idaho because of the
wife's death and in the trial that fol
lowed he was convicted of second
degree murder and given the statu-
tory sentence of from ten years to
life He was prosecuted by Judge
James F. Ailshie.

agreed to pardon him Christmas day.
The governor voted against the par
Ion, but the attorney general and the
secretary of state voted together in

FRENCH Face FIERCE FIRE
PUT DOWN VIGOROUS INFANTRY
ATTACK MADE By ENEMY.
Americans Shell Four German Sectors
With Asphyxiating Gas With
Good Effect

London, March 21.-All along the
Western front activity Of the fighting
forces still has been held down to
small infantry attacks and artillery
duels, which on some sectors have
been quite violent.
To the French again has fallen the
task of facing the fiercest infantry
fighting. In Lorraine the Germans de-
livered numerous strong attacks, but
all OF them were put down with san
culinary losses to the attackers. Al
several other points the Germans al
SO have endeavored to penetrate the
French petitions, but everywhere have
been beaten off, leaving behind them
men killed and wounded.
The American tr00ps on the Toul
sector recently have been giving the
Germans, and effectively, dose Of
their own favorite weapon-asphyxi
ating gas. Four different sectors OF
the Germans were gas shelled and the
quiescent attitude of the enemy upon
all Of them afterward Indicated that
the gases had had the desired eff
feet.
Although the snow is melting in
the mountain regions of the Italian
theater, sufficient of it still lies on
the ground to make impossible for
the present the commencement by
either side of hostilities of great mag.
nitude. Bombardments continue all
along the front, being especially VIC
lent west of Lake Garda. Heavy
freshets have made the Pave river

RUSSIA SEEKS AID

TROTZkY ASKS AMERICA TO As

ARMY TO FIGHT GERMANY.
WOULD REBUILD RAILWAYS
Action Arouses Hope. That Russia
May Yet Be Saved to Allies
Foe Menaces Moscow as Well
as Petroqrad.

London, March 21.-With the realf-
zation of Germany's intention to oc'
cupy the western provinces OF Rus
ria, Petrograd and possibly Moscow,
Russia has turned to America in its
hour of distress, according to dis.
patches from Moscow.
Leon Trotsky, now Russian minis
ter of war, has appealed to the Uni.
ted States to assist in organizing
volunteer Russian army to resume
war on Germany, and also to help
reorganize Russia's railways to make
possible the carrying out of a mill
tary campaign.
Trotzky's action followed the an
nouncement of M. Tchitcherin, Bolshe-
Wiki foreic1 Minister, that Russia's
relations \. -1h the Allies are un-
changed.
The 10 incidents have aroused
hope in London End Russia may yet
be saved 10 the Allied cause.
Wi::c:i's Stand Cause Seen.
1t is beueved here that President
Wilson's note to the Russian congress
of Soviets, and the stand of the Uni
ted States against Intervention in ST.
IBERIA are responsible for the new at
titude of the Bolsheviki leaders.
TrOtzky's first request upon the
United States for assistance was sent
to the American military mission. It
was for 10 American officers to as
sist him as inspectors in organizing
and training new volunteer army.
He aked the members of the Amer
can railway mission still remaining
in Russia again to take up their work
of reorganizing the railroads.
Asks For Railway Equipment.
Trotzky also appealed to the Amer
lean government for railway equip
ment, particularly locomotives and
cars.
The Moscow messages do not state
what action the American missions
have taken.
Trotzky is now preparing for the
defense Of Moscow, having gone. there
from Petrograd, which is expected to
be occupied by the Germans shortly.
Russia advices indicate that the
Bolsheviki while preparing to give up
Petrograd without a struggle, are SER
iously concerned over Moscow, fear
ing they may have to evacuate the
ancient capital as well as the more
modern one.
Americans Will Investigate.
Trotzky's reply to the Allies in
quiries concerning reports that the
Bolsheviki had armed thousands of
German and Austrian war prisoners
in Siberia, who now threatened the
Siberian railway was:
"Send trained officers and investi-
gate. I will give you a train"
The offer was accepted and Captain
William R. Webster of the American
Red Cross and Captain w. L. Hicks
of the British military mission left
for 1rkutsch, Tehita and other points
where the Germans are reported to
be provided with rifles, field pieces
and ammunition.

United States and Germany.
The amount, terms, and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon further

Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th of
April as the day to open the campaign
as the most fitting date to call for a
patriotic response to the summons to

the people at home the same fervent
patriotism that actuates our gallant

Springfield (Mass.) Republican,: The
decision Of the supreme court that driv-
ers Of mail wagons are subject to the
rules governing highway traffic will be
heard with relief throughout the state,
though Boston and the metropolitan
district may be the only section where
trouble has been noticeable. The driv-
er of a mail wagon, arrested in Boston
for operating his vehicle on the left
side of Commonwealth avenue, carried
the case to the supreme COURT to test
the question whether rules prescribed
for ordinary vehicles were applicable to
mail wagons. The supreme court de-
cides that they are. The court says
that "although the United States has
jurisdiction over post roads, yet the
ways are laid out and maintained by
the commonwealth, which has the ex-
elusive power not only to alteration or
discontinuance, but to make and en-
force reasonable regulations for their
use. Nor do the facilities thereby af-
forded for transportation of the mails
confer extraordinary rights upon mail
carriers to use the ways as they please,
or implicitly do away with the power
of supervision and control inherent in
the state. The use of the streets by
travellers of every description is not
prohibited. It is only the mode of
operation by drivers Of vehicles which
is regulated, and being reasonable, be-
cause we'll adapted for the security ana
protection Of all travellers, the rules
are constitutional and their violation
is punishable as a criminal offense. -
With the increased number of motor
vehicles in this state the present year,
and particularly of vehicles for COM
mercial purposes, the need of stringent
regulations will be greater than ever
