BODYBUILDING IN IDAHO ON
TARGE SCALE MUST WAIT TILL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE
BIDS FAR ABOVE ESTIMATE
Uncertainty of Obtaining Labor and
Materials Delays Construction of
North and South Road

Building of the North and South high
yav must wait until conditions improve
Scarcity of labor and high cost of mat
erials have made this move necessary.
Bids on construction of the twenty
two miles of the highway between
Grangeville and Whitebird were receiv-
I'D for the second time by the state
highway commission last Thursday The
commission rejected all bids.

State Highway Engineer Allen, in
writing to the good roads committee of

the bids had been rejected, said:

have made every effort possible to get
this work contracted, or in some man
ner get it under way, but the many ad
verse conditions seem to make it out of
the question.
"The bids were too high to be con
sidered. Under anything like normal
conditions that existed year, or even
a few months ago, when our estimates
were made, / feel certain the work
could easily be let at the prices within
our estimate, and our money. 1 feel
that further effort to contract the work
now would be useless.
"The recent war conditions, affect
ing transportation, materials, and labor,
have caused the National Highways
council to issue very strict conditions,
and contractors have been afraid to ven
ture.
81 trust the people of Idaho county
will feel that this commission has ex
hausted every means to get this work
under way and only abnormal conditions
have prevented it. I am sure, however,
that when times brighten, this project
will receive first attention, all agree
ments with the federal government hav-
ing been completed. "
Want Money Held Intact.
No doubt the money made available
for immediate construction of the North
and South highway can be held intact,
until such time as labor and other con-
litions will permit building of the road
within the cost limit set. One-third
Of the money has been provided locally,
1ne-third has come from the state, and
the other third from the federal govern
nent. Communication is now being had

Therefore, construction OF the INK III

ORDERS STOP FLOW
OF SUPPLIES TO men OVERSEAS

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Gen. Pershing is
sued orders after the signing of the
armistice with Germany for the
prompt reduction of the extensive
system for purchasing supplies for the
United States army in Europe and
for the speedy transition to peace
basis.
Acting on this order, military au-
thorities have given notice of cancel
lation of contracts so far as possible
with view to diminishing rapidly
the intlowing stock OF supplies re-
CURED for an army of 1000, 900 men.
An officer who has had much to do
with this branch of the service, sums
up the situation as follows:
THE American expeditionaryf force
on Nov. IL, the day the armistice
was declared, was travelling at full
speed ahead and was at the height
Of its supply activity. To reverse
this tremendous business machine is
the task upon which it is now en-
gagged and the efficiency of its busi-
ness organization is being manifest

entirely changed circumstances.

began coming to France there was a
great scarcity of ocean tonnage. It
was impossible for many months to
ship more than 100000 or 400, 900
tons of supplies to the forces, not
withstanding the great necessity for
engineering material, engines and
gen eraI construction equipment.
Search for material in Europe, there
fore, had to be conducted with the
greatest possible energy over wide
field.
more thon 100000 tons Of ma
terial for the expeditionary forces
was secured on this side of the ocean.
This was one of the prime factors
in the successful result of the opera
tions of the army. To have trans
ported this material from America
would have taken 800 ships of 5000
tons capacity about 4s0 days, or 16
months.

and supply activities of the Ameri-
can army with its allies covers all

shing in the business organization of

1t was said officially today that the

THE ALLIED POWERS
SEEK KAISER'S SCALP
Law Authorities Sc *
ing Some Legal Way
To Get Their Hands
on The Former Emper-
or And Bring Him to
Justice.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The foreign
Office confirms the report that British
law officers of the crown, in co-opera-
ton with the French authorities, are
considering the question of the ex-
tradition of the former German EN-
peror.
The foreign Office says that the
law officers have not yet made re-
port and consequently no action has
yet been taken.
Action in the premises was taken
after the fight of the former emper-
or to Holland.
The Evening News says it under
stands the law officers have concluded
that the allies are entitled to demand
the extradition of the former en-
peror and that this decision applies
to individuals who have committed or
given instructions for the commission
of extraditable crimes.
1t is added that Holland takes the
view-that she has not the power TO
surrender such persons without the
consent of Germany.
Newspapers here devote much
space to discussions of the revela-
tions made by Bavaria in publishing
official kilograms which passed be-
tween Berlin and Munich just before
the war broke out. They agree that
the guilt of Germany and Austria,
persistently denied during the past
four years, has been proved by the
Bavarian government.
Germany has been challenged
again and again to produce the whole
correspondence between Berlin and
Vienna during July, 1914" SAYS the
Times. She has never dared rro-
duce it. Will the new Cover .ri..nt
dare--just to show the guuf between
1T and its predecessors. Bavaria has
proved she was an accomplice Be.
lin and Vienna. She supported them
until they lost and now she shall not
whaten her character in the eyes of
allies by blackening the record of her
confederates."
The kaiser, after taking every pos
sible step to throw the allies off their
guard, struck, expecting in n few
weeks to have the world at his feet" /"
says the Mail. "The revelations made
by Bavaria will not surprise the allies
nor dispassionate historians in neu-
tral countries"
This was the blood bath prepared.
Is the kaiser to be allowed to 70 with
out trial?" is the comment of the Ex-
press.
The Morning Post says that DIR.
Solf, in appealing for modification of
the armistice terms, is following ex-
actiy the tactics disclosed in the pub
lished kilograms.
1t now appears that his represen-
tations of starving conditions in Ger
many are false" the newspapers con-
tinue. mo doubt there is hardship
IN Germany, but whose fault is that?
80 lar as the associated governments
are concerned domestic dissensions in
Germany serve merely to put them
on the alert against that treachery
which is ingrained in Germany.
