/ learned in September that at Alliance
Ohio, there were being made monster
cannon that would shoot 1873 miles
These were being made to offset the
great guns that Germany was using to
lombard Paris, and which fired a pro
jectile rs miles, The story came to The
editor of The Star Mirror from promi-
nent citizen of Alliance who is a stock
holder in the factory that is making the
guns, yet nothing was said about it until
today.
When troops were sent by the United
States to Siberia and trainloads of them
passed through Spokane, the newspapers
said not word about it. When Secre-
tary of War Baker left for his first visit
to the war front the Associated Press
notified its subscribers and requested
them to publish nothing of it until Mr..
Bakers arrival, when the story was re-
leased and published by all Associated
Press papers. 1t was SO in hundreds of
instances. The newspapers had news
that would have been very interesting
for their patrons, but they were sup

win the war and suppressed every item

the government.

When the United States entered the
war against Germany the newspapers OF
this country were asked to observe a
voluntary censorship and to refrain from
publishing anything regarding the move

arrival of troops or anything that might
be of benefit to the enemy of mankind,

there was no penalty for their violation.

LUMBER INDUSTRY
EXPECTS A BOOM
LIFTING OF EMBARGO ON SHIP
MENTS EXPECTED TO MAKE
DEMAND FOR LUMBER

Northern Latah county is expect
ing great business activity next whit
er as result of the ending of the
war and the releasing of men who
will be seeking work. The great lum-
Der camps of the Potlatch Lumber
company will probably be livelier this
winter than any time since the wal
began drawing men from the woods
for military service. The lifting of
the embargo against shipping western
lumber is expected to revive the lum-
Der industry and this company, with
its own railroads, logging camps and
two big saw mills expects to receive
and fill many large orders for lumber
in the east. 1t is believed that lum-
Der from this county will be sent to
Belgium and France to rebuild homes
destroyed by the Germans.
The Potlatch Lumber company's
big yard at Potlatch, where as much
as 100000 feet of lumber have been
stored at one time, has been greatly
depleted in the past year owing to
shipments being far in excess Of man
ufacture. When the government took
over the plants of the company at
Potlatch and Elk River work on or
binary runs of lumber was stopped
and the mills and the logging camps
were devoted to preparing airplane
lumber, exclusively. Now this de-
mand has ceased and there is a big
demand for lumber for building pur-
poses.
There has been such a shortage of
men in the logging camps during the
past year that production has fallen
far below normal. With the return
of the soldiers and the release of men
taken from these camps for work
in the camps of the "spruce division"
of the war work, it is hoped to again
place production of lumber in Latah
county back at the normal of former
years before the war began.
The raising of the embargo on
building in the United States is ex-
pected to stimulate building in this
and neighboring states and create a
home demand for lumber Even the
of the big store owned by
the Potlatch Lumber company was
not permitted to build a large barn
on his farm because of the embargo
that was lifted when the armistice
was signed, and was forced to dispose
of his purebred cattle because he
could not build a big barn for them
Many farmers as well as towns
people have been postponing build
ing until the embargo would be lifted
and now it is expected that a s'build-
ing boom" will be started in this sec
ion. The outlook for the lumber in
1ustry and for labor here is regarded
as bright.

MAKING BUTTER

1t has been said that "he who make.
