SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for Hoi.
land Has Powerful Support In
X industrial Circles.

= Al law to establish a commercial reg.
lister In Holland has been introduced in
the states general, according to Il dis
patch from r. L. Edwards, CONNER.
ciaI attache' of The Hague. 1t is re-
ported to have the support Of men,
bers Of the government, of high legal
critics and Of important business In
terests generally. This is said to be
the culmination Of a movement started
20 years ago for the passage of such a
law.
One of the most important features
of the proposed law Is that Ii forblds
the use of precisely the same name
by more than one concern within
given districts, It also provides that
In each given district there shall be
maintained public register In which
would be given the name, age aud
domicile Of each member Of firm, as
well as the extent to which each one
might he held legally liable for It's
obligations. II also would make Illegal
the use Of deceptive title, including
such words, for instance, as "broth-
ers," "and company" or "and sons"
where the owner Is only one person.
From the proposed commercial reg
lister stranger would be able 10 as
certain the name and residence OF
holders of not fully paid up shares,
and the full particulars as to The ma
t!onality, residence, etc, Of managers,
directors and other officers of eorp0r-
ations and associations. There would
also be particulars as to former bank
ruptcies Of persons or concerns In
question. The present law already pro.
yides for publication OF many Of these
details, but they are only to be found
In such scattered places that In prac-
tice they are not available to the gen.
eral public.

RUSSIA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS
Systematic Expectation Would Have q
Great Effect on the Markets
of the World.

An article in current magazine by
A. ]. Sack presents statistics on Rus
sia's forest resources as means of
paying the billions Of dollars due TO
home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement is made
BY this writer that Russia. including
Siberia, has LIZ, 100000 acres of TIM
Der which Is 63 per cent as much as
the whole world possessed. This re-
source is being set aside by Russian
economists as Il fund to pay the coun-
try's debts.
The effect on Americas business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record In discussing the ar
ticle. Except oak. it continues, which
Is generally known in the market as
the japanese oak. it Is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States; but ii will compete
with American lumber in other mar
kets, notably those Of western Europe,
and perhaps those of eastgn Asia,
western South America and ~ 49,
islands.
ITO that extent" says Hardwood
Record "our lumber business may be
hurt by the flood of forest products
from Russia. In normal times Ger.
many received 4S per cent of its lum-
Der Imports from Russia. and Eng
lands per cent of timber imports from
that source was nearly as large.
Lumber shipments from Russia will
come from the Baltic, from the Arctic
coast of Russia proper and Siberia
and from the Pacific coast of the lat.
ter country. The principal lumber
markets Of the world can be reached
from those points"

LAFAYETTE-MARNE DAY
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6

Next Friday is the anniversary of
two events of great Importance to the
people of the United States and
France. It is the anniversary of the
birth of Lafayette, who was of such
assistance to the colonies in the revo-
lutionary war, and the anniversary of
the battle of the Marine when, in 1914,
the French stopped the victorious
German army which was marching on
Paris. American people are asked to
celebrate the day. 1t has been sug-
gested that French flags (Which can
be easily made if not Doughty be dis
played and that there be parades and
a public observance of the day.
Captain Edgington will be asked to
bring his soldiers down town for a
parade. Details of this will be an
nounced later. The French flag can
be made by the use of blue, white and
red cloth, the stripes running perpen-
dicularly in the order named. The
American Defense society has asked
that the day be observed in honor to
France, which celebrates every Amer
lean holiday religiously since America
entered the war.

FARMERS UNION ELEVATOR
GETTING MUCH NEW GRAIN

Up to Friday evening the Farmers
Union Elevator & Warehouse company
had received more than 10000 bushels
of the 1913 crop of wheat at its elevator
and warehouse, at the south end of Main
street. Saturday there we're several
thousand bushels added to this total, for
nearly all day teams were waiting to
unload grain at either the elevator or
warehouse. Much of the grain came in
bulk, but some comes in sacks that are
dumped and used again. Most If the
grain goes through the elevator, the ship
ments of sacked grain from Moscow this
year being very light. George Sievers,
manager of the company, is kept on the
jump, early and late, with the heavy re-

TRADES UNION DID
NOT |ND0RSE LEAGUE
WALLACE UNIONS DENY EN-
DORSEMENT OF NONPARTI-
IAN LEAGUE TICKET

WALLACE. w A. Smith, secre-
tary of the Wallace Trades & Labor
Council officially denied last night
that the Wallace Trades & Labor
council had endorsed the non-partizan
on the little cards headed Labor En-
dorses." 1t was against endorsing
such a set Of candidates that the Wal
lace Typographical union, by formal
resolution, protested and condemned
the endorsement. Today the typo
graphical union prints a formal notice
to the effect that the council did not
endorse a set of candidates.
Secretary Smith referred the matter
to President H. o. Voss, of the Wal
lace Trades & Labor council. Presi-
dent Voss did not seem to be in accord
with the views of Secretary Smith.
He said that the State Federation Of
Labor had endorsed the candidates,
and intimated that such action covered
the Wallace council. He said it was
a matter that he did not care to dis
cuss over the telephone and said that
rather have the paper say nothing
about it.
Secretary Smith is emphatic, how
ever, in declaring that no such en-
dorsement was ever made by the Wal
lace Trades & Labor council. He says
he has attended all of the meetings
and that there is nothing on the re-
cords to show any such endorsement
and such action never took place on
the floor.

WHEN FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
DRIVE STARTS THESE WILL
BE ROUNDED UP

BOISE.-A check is to be made or
the bond slackers" during the fourth
liberty loan campaign, and those who
are found delinquent may be required
to wear what will be termed a "badge
of shame"
Information has reached the state
committee in charge of the loan cam
paign drive for Idaho to this effect
from the twelfth federal reserve head
quarters.
What to do with the loan slackers
is n of the big questions confronting
all of the states in the twelfth reserve
district, including Idaho, it is said.
Although "strong arm" methods are
discouraged, full moral persuasion"
is Endorsed. 1t is the opinion of James
X. Lynch, governor of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve bank, the names of
those refusing to subscribe after being
given a hearing should be published in
the newspapers as a "badge of shame"
The question was given serious con
sideration at a recent conference of
Liberty loan chairmen held in San
Francisco.
Reports were made by chairmen
that members Of certain religious
sects, and pro-Germans of several
stripes were stubbornly refusing to
buy bonds. Methods adopted by va
rious communities were reported and
it was agreed that diplomacy had
obtained the best result.
