DEATH AND BTRIAL
OF MRS. FRANK WILSON

Kimberly was very much shocked
and grieved on New Years morning
over the death of Mrs Frank e. Will
son, wife of one of Kimberly's promi-
nent business men and active citi-
zens.
Mrs. Wilson had been ailing for sev-
eral weeks, and was growing worse
daily, with the result that she was
finally removed to the Boyd hospital
at Twin Falls and was subjected 20
an operation. The operation was not
a serious one, but the weakened con
dition of much illness, made it i'm
possible for her to bear the shock
She recovered however, from the
operation sufficiently to remain con-
scious for time, but on Monday
night. December 81, about nine she
passed away. Mrs. Wilson was
young woman, just in that time Of
life when men and women are most
useful to the world and the commu-
nifty of which they are part.
Mr. and Mrs Wilson were married
only four months ago, and had just
recently moved into their newly pur-
chased home in Kimberly. Shortly af-
ter this move, Mrs. Wilson became i'll
and from that time on her health
failed rapidly At times she would
regain strength and Mr. Wilson and
her friends would become hopeful of
her recovery, but each rally was fol-
lowed by worse relapse and finally
she was removed to the Boyd hospif-
al where she died
Mrs. Wilson had made many frienis
in Kimberly during her short life
here, and those friends will bear her
III memory for many years to come
Frank Wilson is a prominent mer-
chant and cattleman of this COM
munity, and well known throughout
the tract The sympathies of Kimber-
ly are with him in this trial.
The funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon at three o'clock
at the Methodist church, with Rev
Orvfs T. Anderson, of the Baptist
church of Twin Falls, officiating, with
the assistance of local ministers. Rev
A. w. James and Rev V. G. Back
man. Over two hundred friends and
neighbors of the deceased were pres
ent at the services and the process
sion leaving the church for the Twin
Falls cemetery was the largest ever
seen in Kimberly.
Thus has passed away one of Kim
berly's friends and citizens to her re-
ward. To those loved ones left be-
hind only the greatest sympathy is
being expressed.

win.

FOR SPEEDING AVIATION
Council Of Signal Officers Consider

Division Of the United States into
four great aviation departments is be-
ing considered today by a council OF
Signal Corps officers, headed by Maj
Gen. George o. Squier, chief signal
officer.
The proposal most favored would re-
suit in the formation Of an eastern de-
partment to include the Northeastern
and Eastern military departments
with headquarters at Governors Island;
the southeastern department covering
the same territory now embraced in
that military department, but with
headquarters probably at Atlanta, in
stead of Charleston; the southern. with
headquarters at San Antonio, and the
central, embracing the Central and
Western military departments, with
headuarters at Chicago.
A departmental aviation officer, with
rank of brigadier general. would be
placed in charge of each.

Japan Aroused to Danger.

Japan is understood to be aroused to
the necessity of protecting Siberia
from German incursions. and her moral
position is strengthened. it was pointed
out, even if she undertakes counter
movements alone, by the fact that
eastern Siberia would be no great asset
to her except as a buffer to German
efforts to extend her influence in the
east.
1t is gathered here that the Japanese
government holds that it does not re-
quire any warrant from the entente
powers generally or America to en-
bark on a campaign in Siberia, al
though it makes an exception in the
case of Great Britain because of the
close alliance between Japan and that
country. expressly covering their joint
interests on the Asiatic mainland.

Would Welcome Approval.

However, because of the cooperation
between Japan and America, France
and Italy in dealing with other phases
of the eastern question. it is understood
that the Japanese emperor has indi-

Viewed From Military Point.

From a military standpoint the ques-
ton is whether the United States could
be so effective in it's operations, either
military or naval, in Siberia as Japan
could be if left unhampered. Great as
may be the economic benefits of Ger
many's push into Russia, the military
point of strategy. the field on which the
war will be won or lost-remains on
the western front. And there the United
States has made long preparations to
bend all her energies. To weaken her
future operations there for the possible
value of participating in the chaotic
progress of events in Russia does not
appeal to military men as sound policy.

are subject to change, of course, be-
cause of the rapid developments in Rus
