Raptist Notes

The Bible study topic for next Sun
day is Making a New Start. The
text is Gen. 27:46 to $3.50. Jacob hav-
ing made a failure flees. There comes
to him anothr chance, and as he enters
upon the new opportunity before him
he gives himself to God. This world is
making new start. Wound that
everyone would give themselves to
God as we enter upon the new order
things brought about by the war that
has just closed. This would mean
great blessings and great accomplish
ments, surprising all that the past
has ever revealed. Let us each re-
spond to the call of our God, our coun-
try and humanity by defeating our
selves to God and his service.

DIED.
Dan Richards.

Word was received in Emmett Sun
day morning that Dan Richards hat
died the night before in Kingman
Arizona, of pneumonia. He was borr
in Ohio and raised on farm and be-
gan teaching school at an early age
He was principal of the high school
at Mount Vernon when he left Ohio
to come west. After several years in
the mining camps of Colorado he went
to the Isthmus of Panama and engage
ed in the banana business, and while
there made several prospecting trips
into Central America. In 1889 he re-
turned to Colorado and with some 9TH
er prospectors drove overland to Sc
attic with the object of looking up a
permanent location. 1t was on this
trip that he first saw the Payette
valley and he was so impressed with
it that the following year he induced
other members of the family to join
with him in locating and buying land
near the head of the valley, large
part of which is now owned by the
Weyerhauser lumber people. He was
also one of the owners of the West
lake Fruit Farm which he planted to
prunes in 1896. He lived here until
the Alaska gold excitement began
when he joined the throng of gold
seekers. With his brother Arthur he
built the first telephone line between
Dyea and Skagway and operated it
over those trails while the boom last
ed. Later they worked together RUM
ing freight scows on the Yukon river
and sold goods to the miners and In
dians. After the Klondike excite
ment died down he went to Nome and
made several prospecting trips from
there, going as far north as Point Bar
row. Running from the Arctic re-
gions he located at Kingman, Arizona,
where he bought land and laid out the
Richards addition to Kingman and
made his home on a ranch nearby,
where he was living at the time of his
death. He spent most Of the past
summer in Emmett, having driven
through from Arizona in an auto
accompanied by his sister Clara. In
September they drove back via Sc
attic and the coast route to Los
Angeles and was in the best of health.
The news. of his sudden death was a
great shock to his relatives and
friends. Besides his sister Clara, he
leaves three brothers, Judge j. H.
Richards and w. P. Richards of Boise
and A. A Richards of Emmett.

In the early morning hours,
Left their homes with unwashed dishes
Baskets filled to overlooking,
Tempting viands also going,
To the trysting place appointed
Up the railroad track they gamboled,
Der the ties and rails they rambled,
AS their joyous girlish laughter
Floated on the morning breeze:
All the birds and wild jack rabbits,
! Left their haunts and usual habits,
! And scurried off in wild disorder
To hide in holes and shelt'ring trees.
After eating half their ration,
And rest failed in relaxation.
They spied some poor domestic crea-
lures
Securely fastened in their stall,
In demoniacal glee they made invasion
Rugged the COW, and without persua-
sion,
Rode her calf like naughty witches
That's what they did, both one and all.
In great disgust old Dobbin found,
Himself securely hitched and bound,
Between the shafts in backward style
And asked to have his photo taken:
They rode the sheep with little trouble
Taught old Dob. to carry double,
On hind legs he was made to dance
As circus horse-or Pm mistaken
Now Farmer Proctor's patience gone,
Onto the road in motley throng,
queer gymnastics stunts
The like of which would make you |
stare,
Then to the river next they went,
Still on wild merriment intent,
Tho the water was cold, in one fell
Then others ventured on dare.
Evening shadows warned them at last,
Back to their feast upon the grass,
Tears of regret the little dog wept
AS disappeared each tempting bit;
Dance and song and the day was done
An auto came at the set of sun,
Now thirteen maidens homeward
bound
backed in the tonneau snug and tight.
soon in town the spectators stared!
md followed to see how they Jared.
ce cream was out, but root beer rose
linus straws, but the rubber hose
Vas offered as a substitute.

DfbENEY'S MEN to OVER HlNOENbURG
 LINE TWO MILES

With the French Army ill France' Oct. 3.-(By the Associated Press.)- General Debeneys troops in the re- zion of St. Quentin yesterday began to smash through the lines of the Hindenburg position over the entire front of that army.
 These lines were two and one nall miles deep in some places and were supported by several strongly or ganized woods. They were defend ed by machine gun sections which proved unable to check General De- beney's advance.
 A breach made in the Hindenourg line east of Le Tronquoy was widen ed to the outskirts of Lesdins. Fur ther north the French troops i'll con junction with the British forces LOOK several small pieces of timber lana in the face of vigorous resistance.
 The west bank of the Crozat canal northeast of St. Quentin is now Ill French hands as far as Lesdins. Ge- neral Debeney's men have occupied Omissy. A footing also has been gained on the east bank of the canal at Morcourt, the western part o1 the town being in French hands

Turks are MCAing.

London, Oct. 3.-The Turkish sit uation was described in we'll inform ed diplomatic circles here this morn- ing as moving" whereas in the same quarters two days ago it was declared to be stagnant. No official action, however, has been taken and the British officials are contenting themselves with watching the unoffi- cial developments.
 The opinion is freely expressed that definite appeal will come from Turkey when it is forcibly brought to her attention that Germany is un- able longer to strengthen her army or check her continued losses.
 There is every indication, diplomats say, instead of Germany threatening Turkey as was reported a fortnight ago when Bulgaria was wavering. Turkey now is threatening Germany. This has resulted in an effort by Ger many to get some troops to Turkey, but the size of the force to be sent or what success has been made i'll transporting it are not known.
 Reports that the central powers have sent a large force to Sofia. the Bulgarian capital, are discredited on all sides.

 Paris, Oct. 3.-With victory in sight the allied natioSs should set themselves for the last sacrifices ne- nessary before the final triumph is secured. Premier Clemenceau de- clared today in ringing pronunci- amentO.
 The premier's words are embodied ill a letter he has sent to the coun- Gil general of the Loire, which has passed an addres strongly support ing the governments course.
 "rhe councils representing the peo- ple,' says the premier's response, "can-depend upon the government with Marshal Foch and the united allied armies, to pursue their course until the benefits of complete success are wrested from the enemy. The splendid victories of the recent weeks have definitely determined the for tunes of war to the stupefication of the enemy, who now suddenly disco. vers that he had grossly deceived himself.
 "These victories are only the first sheaves on the fruitful harvest, of which the highest recompense will be the final deliverance of the world from the oppression of implacable brutality and open the way for its marvellous development. Let us sa- lute the glorious aurora whose first rays illuminated the victorious fronts of the founders of the American re- public and of our revolutionary fore fathers.'

ENEMY TO HOLD ON.

Paris, Oct. ? (By The Associated press.)-The developments in the situation on the American front north west of Verdun tends to confirm the oninion that it is the enemy's appar- ent intention to hold on the krlemhii- de e-Steelung system of trenches run n;nv from Brieulles to the Bois De Cunel. thence south to Gesnes, thence south along the ridges in the vicinity of Exermont, crossing the Aire rlver one kilometer north of Apremont.
 The American line broadly con forms to this, developing situation similar to thta after St. Mlhlei' "'t" a broad outpost zone.
