OCTOBER QUOTA FOR
IDAHO IS 4S7

BOISE, Sept. 14.-The first October
draft call has been made on Idaho.
1t was received today from Provost
Marshal General Crowder by Acting
Governor E. L. Parker, and transmit
ted to adjutant generals department.
A total of 487 men are asked for.
They are to be entrained during the
five-day period commencing October
Z. for Camp Lewis to enter the ma
tional army.
The adjutant generals department
is now working on the quotas to
counties. The call will clean up
practically all of the available num-
Der one men of the class of 1917, and
invade the 1918 classes registered in
June and on August "a, the latter
having registered as becoming of age
between June and August inclusive.
That Idaho exceeded the estimated
figures of 55,502 set by the provost
marshal general in the registration of
its man power between the ages of
18 and As years not heretofore regis
tered, Thursday, is now believed. This
is indicated by reports in the hands of
the adjutants department.

.B0RAH WOULD HAVE
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Legisla-
tion providing for the government
ownership of all public utilities and
natural monopolies is being prepared.
Senator Borah of Idaho, in advocating
federal control Of stockyards, indicat-
ed that government control of public
utilities was contemplated
Senator Borah vigorously defended
the report of the federal trade COM
mission which recommended federal
regulation and control of the packing
industry He said:
II am of the opinion, although it
will be charged as being socialistic,
that the time has come when every
monopoly and particularly every nat
ural monopoly, must be taken under
the regulation of the government.
am in favor taking the stockyards
and placing them under the perma-
nent control Of the government of the
United States. They are a natural
utility; they are a necessary instru-
ment of business; they belong to the
entire public. and I believe that when
we come to the legislation we will be
able to do something in the way of
taking over certain parts of these
business institutions which will then
enable us. perhaps, to regulate that
which is left"

Word has been received at the univer-

ages Of 18 and IS. except those registered
prior to. September II and certified for
general service, will be accepted for the
students army training corps, if they
pass their physical examinations and can
fulfill the entrance requirements to the
university. There have been a great
many requests from older men to enter
the S. A. T. c., and it is certain that
they will take. advantage Of the oppor-
tunity presented.
The university authorities are receiv-
ing applications for entrance to the S. A.
T. c. from students who have hitherto
attended institutions outside of Idaho.
One man writes: 81 want my son to
enter the army from Idaho"
Several prominent men from southern
Idaho have written Dr. Lindley that they
have been sending their boys to Harvard
and other eastern institutions in the
past, but wish them to enter their own
state university now as members of the
students army training corps, SO that
they may go into Uncle Sans service
from their home state This feeling is
general and will result in large numbers
of applications coming in from this class

.LEN|ME. TROTzKY
BETRAYED RUSSIA
U. S. GETS PROOF THAT THEY
WERE IN PAY OF GER
MANY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Proofs
removing any doubts that Lenine and
Trotzky, the bolsheviki leaders, are
paid German agents-if indeed any
doubts remain-are laid before the
world today by the United States
government in the first instalment
of an amazing series of official doc
uments disclosed through the commit
tee on public information.
Secured in Russia by American
agents, these documents not only
show how the German government
through its imperial bank paid it's
gold to Lenine, Trotzky and their i'm
mediate associates to betray Russia
into deserting her allies, but give adj
ded proof, if any be necessary, that
Germany had perfected her plans for
war of world conquest long before
the assassination at Sarajevo, which,
as the world is now convinced, con-
veniently furnished her pretext
These documents further show that
before the world war was four
months old, and more than two years
before the United States was drawn
into it, Germany was already setting
afoot her plans to "mobolize destruc-
tive agents and Observers to cause
explosions, strikes and outrages in
this country and planned the employ
ment of anarchists and escaped Grim
inals' for the purpose.
Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious thinner
mann note proposing war by Mexico
and Japan upon the United States,
which was first given to the world
through the Associated Press, these
documents lay bare new strata of
Prussian intrigue, a new view of~thes
workings Of kultur to disrupt the al
lies, standing between the world and
kaiserism. They disclose new story
of human treachery for gold which
might almost well be described with
out sacrilege as placing its perpetrat-
ors on a pedestal with Judas and his
80 pieces of silver.
The intrigue appears to have been
carried down to the last detail of ar
with typical German sys-
tenn

NEW FORESTRY POLICY
HELPS SHEEPMEN

The liberal policy adopted by the
Emitted States forestry department to-
ward the livestock industry and which
provides for ranging in larger num-
bers both sheep and cattle in the ma
tional forests, will go long way to-
ward restoring the sheep industry in
the northwest and is one Of the
greatest boons sheepmen have re
ceived in many years. The new policy
commenced to show results last year,
but the full importance of the plan
is now apparent in the large ship
rlents of sheep directly from the
mountain ranges to the Chicago mar
kets.
The forestry policy has permitted
the ranging of sheep in larger num-
bers and on more reasonable terms,
and with stubble fields and pasture
lands available for fall and winter,
the sheepmen believe the industry will
make rapid growth until the former
proportions are restored. Last year
large numbers of sheep were brought
from eastern Washington and eastern
Oregon to the mountain ranges of
central Idaho, says the Lewiston
Tribune. This year the number from
Oregon and Washington has been ma
terially enlarged and the number Of
Idaho sheep on the national forests
has shown a big increase. Weather
conditions were not entirely favorable
for the summer mountain ranges this
season, but even this season the sheep
are coming from the summer ranges
in fine condition for the markets, and
are now being made. 1t is
pointed out by sheepmen that the sea-
son just closed has served to demon
strate the value of the mountain
ranges for summer, that sheepmen
have had better opportunity to esti-
mate the value of this summer pas
ture under conditions of the past
summer than would have been DOS
sible had weather conditions provided
the normal summer range. In the
general SUMMARY it is pointed out
that central Idaho mountain ranges
have demonstrated their value to the
sheepmen even when the ranges were
net at their best. and this will nat
lrally encourage sheepmen to enlarge
their scope of operations until the
magnitude of the former industry
nav be approached.
Shipments of mutton sheep from the
summer ranges commenced last week.
and within the next few weeks several
hundred carloads will be shipped from
points on the Clearwater and Grange
1ille lines. 1t is estimated that at least
800 carloads Of sheep will be handled |
,ver the branch lines this fall and large
numbers of sheep are driven from the
mountains to the winter ranges

Joe RUDEN|NGEN HAS LEG
CRUSHED OFF UNDER \. P. TRAIN

Word was received here yesterday by
Mrs. Julia Rudningen of this city that
her son, Joe Rudningen, had had one
of his legs crushed off at the knee early
that morning by Northern Pacific
freight train in Spokane The news
came as a severe shock to the mother,
who is widow and has but limited
means.
Young Rudningen, it is understood,
had boarded the local freight which goes
through Moscow about midnight, to beat
his way to Spokane He was accom-
panied by young Halvorsen from this
city AS near as can be learned the
young fellow was trying to get off the
brake beam, after the train reached the
city, while it was still moving, and
slipped and fell with one leg across the
rail. The young man was rushed to the
emergency hospital in the city, where the
flow of blood was stopped and he was.
then removed to Sacred Heart hospital,
where he is receiving attention. The.
last report from Spokane is that he will
in all probability recover.
