ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
FIRE FIGHTING

Washington. August 2S.-The presi-
dent has authorized a loan of one mil
lion dollars to the Forest Service for
fire fighting expenses to meet the SER
ious emergency conditions in the ma
tional forests of the northwest and Pa
"ific coast states. The loan was made
from the special defense fund of fifty
million dollars placed at the disposal
of the president by congress. 1t Is
recognized that the protection OF the
national forests is an important and
essential war activity.

SGT. CLAUDE FRAY.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Fray, pioneer
residents of this section, received an
interesting letter from their son
Claude, who is now a sergeant with
Company e, 10th Engrs., and located
at Anglers, France. The letter was
written on August / and is as follows:
Dear Parents and All Received
your letter just week ago today and
have plenty of spare time to answer
today. Was certainly very glad to
hear from you. Well really 1 don't
know what to write about as there
isn't hardly any news. l am getting
along fine and dandy, have plenty to
eat and am always glad to eat. About
a month ago there was a Spanish few
err went all over Europe and almost
everybody was sick. There were elev-
en- sergeants in the same room with
me and seven of them were sick at
one time. Harvey Vaughan, Fred Gis-
sci and myself were the only ones who
did not get sick at all. There have
been different kinds of sickness going
around and / haven't caught any of
them yet. Though l had better not
brag or ! might get sick.
l told you in the other letters what
came through here the other day and
they said this was the best school in
France. That is saying quite a bit
for the Idaho and Oregon National
Guard. We get some of the poorest
limitations for soldiers here you ever
saw. There are lots of them who can't
even understand English, most Of
them are Italians. But "by gee" we
make soldiers out of them and about
the first thing they know they, are on
the front. They say they make good
fighters when they have some one to
lead them.
l certainly wish some of you could
drop over here and actually see what
we are doing. 1t is practically the
same as the front. The only difference
there is no shell fire here suppose
you have been watching the papers
closely and probably know more about
what is going on than we do There
are lot of boys from Grangeville and
old Company E up there now and have
been for months. We have seen some
of them who have come back and there
is no happy story connected with any
OF them. One boy in our company who
signed up at home came back with
five holes in him. He got well and
suppose he Is back up there again.
There wasn't bullet hit a bone.
Well. l am getting along very well
with my new job. 1t is entirely new
and l don't really know anything
about 1t, but suppose can learn. My
work is nearly all paper work and any

SAYS AILSHIE WILL WIN.
X. o. Jones States That Ailshie Has
Gained Strength i'm South.

Occur d'Alene, August 29.-Interest
in the primary in both parties is cen
tering on the short term nomination
for the senate. In both parties align
ed against each other are prominent
men men who have been closely iden-
titled with party life in the state for
many years. Republicans are partic-
ularly interested in the contest be-
tween Judge James +. Ailshie and +.
r. GoOding. Both of these candidates
are well known in every section of
Idaho. They were political antagon-
lists for the senatorial nomination In
four cornered fight in 1914. In that
memorable contest Judge Ailshie poll
ed something like two thousand votes
ahead of Mr.. Gooding, although the
north was divided with Congressman
French in the race. This year the
Ailshie management is predicting that
the judge will sweep every section Of
Idaho and that he will be nominated
by a heavy majority.
In speaking of the senatorial con-
test yesterday, r. o. Jones, of this
city, who has been active in the man.
agement of the Ailshie campaign,
said:
The primary campaign is drawing
to close. The main contest has been
that for the short term nomination for
the senate. There has been no bitter
ness and the claims of the rival can
didates have been based on the merits
of the case. Then, too, the question
of geography will play some part In
the decision. The northern part of
the state feels that in all fairness it
should have this nomination, and
south Idaho generally recognizes the
justice of the claim. The voters of
Idaho, of every section, wish to be fair
and just and will bear this in mind in
addition to the study of the ability and
fitness of the candidates
I'VE have made an earnest and
clean campaign for Judge Ailshie. He
has gained strength In the last few
weeks of the contest North Idaho
sentiment has swung almost solidly In
his support and in this part of the
state he will get the largest vote ever
given to candidate in the history of
the Idaho primary. In central Idaho
his majority will be substantial and
reports just received from the south
eastern counties, where Judge Ailshie
has been making an exceptionally
strong and intensive campaign. indi-
cate that he will lead down there. His
nomination is assured by large ma
Jority and he will defeat his Demo
cratic opponent in the November cleo

There are some very pretty scenes
here in this section and some of the

castle here that covered about 10 acres
of ground and 1t is certainly sight
worth seeing. The French people here
are certainly well pleased and encour-
aged by the showing the Americans
have made in the recent fighting at the

Sample" Io,Da Boy
Wins Tank Jobs For
Three Companions

Chicago. April 25.-They came up
to the sample. AS a result, four OF
the senior class of Cornell College,
and all of them members of Cor
nells crack football team of last fall.
are now in the newly created United
States tank service. They have ar
rived at Columbus barracks, Column
bus, o., to begin training.
1t came about this way, Early last
week a story appeared in the Tribune
to the effect that headquarters had
opened in Chicago for recruiting for
the tank service, in charge Of Lieut.. G.
G. Garland, at S02 Consumers build
ing. Four cronies out at Cornell saw
It. They got together and decided this
was the kind of service they wanted.
1t was described as the most danger
Gus of any, requiring men with abso-
lutte and unlimited sand Also. it
promised recruits the first chance to
get tn France-within six or eight
weeks, to begin training there.
But there was slight hitch. 1t
was in the middle Of the, month, with
allowances almost spent, and the four
didn't have enough money to come to
Chicago and interview Lieutenant Gar
land. They pooled their resources and
sent the captain of the football team,
Dewey A. Hoadley, on to Chicago as a
sample" He blew breezily into Lieu
tenant Garland's office last Thursday.
One look at him was enough for the
recruiting officer. Altho he is only
taking picked men, the young foot
ball captain was plainly find Over
six feet tall, bone and sinew, with the
light of battle in his eyes an apprais-
ing glance was sufficient.
'.Are they all like you?" queried
Lieutenant Garland,
Every one"
'All right. I'll take them all"
Forthwith the captain returned to
Cornell, and there did some quick
work. The four boys-they are each
20-got their parents consent, and
money for transportation, arranged
with the college authorities to get
their degrees at once, and showed up
at Lieutenant Garlands office Tues
day. The lieutenant had gone to Mil
waukee for the day to open a branch
Office. At nson the four were at that
Milwaukee branch. ready for service.
They had taken the first train.
Tuesday night Hoadley and William
P. Helms, Don A. Starry, and Cotton
Etter were aboard a train for Column
bus barracks. Lieutenant Garland says
he can accept volunteers between IS
and 40 experienced in driving heavy
trucks and tractors. and also limited
number Of good soldiers for the SER
vice to man and operate tanks.
