TENSION PLANS.

The week ending February II was
Boy Scout week throughout the ma

made to enlist 100000 men for lead
ers Of the Boy Scouts. 1t is reas-
onably certain that these efforts were
successful for the value Of the or

with the work performed by the boys

who strongly urges the extension Of
the organization. But the beneficial
influence upon the boys themselves Is
the lmpeling force that calls for the
cooperation of all citizens in bringing
them into the organization. Acting
upon rthe suggestion Of Rev. c. II,
Veazie, who first organized the Boy
Scouts in this county and who has
since given much time to their work,
meeting Of few citizens was held

PROTECTION FOR MEN IN ARMY AND NAVY
HAVING STOCK IN ASSESSMENT COMPANIES

to many others. This is the matter of
assessments on shares in stock com
panies. Probably 10 per cent of the
men who have gone to the war from
this county are stockholders in such
companies. The operations of the
companies are carried on by levying
assessments on the stock, and if the
assessments are not paid by a desig-
mated date the stock is sold at public
auction. Many companies now protect
the holdings OF men who are known
to be in the army or navy and they
will have the privilege of redeemng
their stock when they are discharged
from the service But the great ma
iority of stockholders are unknown to
the officers of the companies and their
holdings cannot therefore be protect
ed even if the officers were disposed to
do so.
This is a very serious situation for
great many men in the service and
II is one that should receive the at
tentlOH Oh congress. 1T Is not right
and it is not patriotic to permit men
who are giving their services to the
country and perhaps their lives to lose
securities for which they have paid
and which they have in most cases
held for years through the payment
of assessments. They cannot pay the
assessments with their meager COM
pensation even if they received notice
that they We're due, which is impos-
sible. Under these circumstances
should pass a law either ex-
empting them outright from the pay
ment of assessments, or at least Civ
ing them the right to redeem their
holdings when they leave the service
upon the payment of the accumulated
due. Such a law would be in
harmony with other laws enacted by
for the relief of men in the
army and navy during the war.

~ONGRESS HAS enacted laws
protecting all men serving in
the army and navy in theif
rights to mining claims, home
steads and all other forms of entry
upon the public lands during their
terms of service. According to a re-
cent Interpretation by Attorney Cen
eral Walters the statutes of Idaho eX-
empt from civil process all men from
this state who are serving in the
branches of the government service.
Chapter 70 is as follows;
mo civil process shall issue, or be
in force, against any person mustered
the United States, during so much Of
the term as he shall be engaged in
actual service under orders, nor' until
30 days after he shall be relieved
therefrom. Provided, that the opera
tion of all statutes of limitation and
presumption arising from lapse of
time shall be suspended upon all
claims against such persons during
such term"
The attorney general holds that this
law will prevent the holder of a mort
gage signed by a man now in the mill
itary service from foreclosing the
same for the reason that he cannot
get service upon a mortgagor who is
in the army Whether this ruling of
the attorney general would be sustain
ed by the courts will probably never
be known, for it is so manifestly fair
and just to the soldier or sailor that
it is not likely that test case will
ever be made There is another form
OF obligation that might be included
in this exemption under a broad and
patriotic construction of the law. and it
is one that is causing much anxiety
to most of the men who have enlisted
in the mining sections of the state and

SAVE FOR UNCLE SAM; IN
VEST IN SAVINGS STAMPS

The activity of local committee
men in various parts of the county,
together with the visit of ex-Gov-
ernor Hawley, director in charge
of the war savings stamps cam
paign in Idaho, have created a
widespread interest in the sale OF
stamps. Business men are taking
it up and scores of places OF busl-
ness will have the stamps on sale,
where their purchase will be per-
sistently urged. The public schools
are pushing the stamp sales with
the enthusiasm of youth and sur
prising results are being accom-
plished. Every man, woman ana
child should be an agent Of Uncle
Sam in the sale of the war stamps.
He needs the money and must have
it. These stamps present the most
popular investment ever offered.
They offer an opportunity to save
without stinting, to invest without
borrowing. But aside from the
safety and convenience of the in
vestment, it is an absolute patri-
otic duty of every citizen to buy
these stamps and to urge their
purchase upon others. And 1t
should be borne in mind that this
Is not a drive to be rounded up in
week, during which enthusiasm is
expected to reach the highest pitch
and then subside; on the contrary,
this campaign must continue
throughout the year and the sys-
TEN of saving for Uncle Sam must
be maintained with steady persist
ency, for in no other way will the
amount required by the government
be raised. Get the saving habit
now and perhaps ii will stay with
you after you have done your duty
to your country.

MAJESTIC DIRECTORS
TO RESUME OPERATIONS
COMPANY HAS LARGE GROUP OF
PATENTED CLAIMS WITHIN
PROVED ORE BELT.

AT a meeting of the directors of the
Majestic Mining company last Tues
day definite steps were taken prelim-
mary to resumption of development
work on the property. The company
owns thirteen patented claims north
east of Burke. On the west end the
group is Joined by the Washington,
upon which very promising ore shoot
has been developed and upon which
work has been going on all winter.
On the south side of the group are the
Ajax and the International. On the
former about % men are employed
developing a parallel vein on two
levels. The lower level is opened
through the Dom Paul tunnel, which
it Is stated has been extended to with
in a few hundred feet of the Majestic
line and presents an ideal method of
developing the property at great
depth. The meeting of directors was
attended by James Dunn, of Burke,
president of the company; ]. L. Court
IL,
rett Towles, of Wallace, secretary and
treasurer, and Thomas McCabe, of
Wallace. A. Wyman was elected
director to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John r. Rogers.
Soon Begin Work.
During the past four years approx
imately s6500 has been expended on
the Majestic, and the showing dis
closed, together with the satisfactory
results accomplished on neighboring
are strong incentives to
resume development. All the expen-
diture named above was made through
funds obtained by the sale of treas
ury stock, and no assessment has been
levied by the company since 1913.
However, it is practically impossible
to dispose of treasury stock at this
time, and the directors therefore lev
led an assessment of mills with the
view to beginning work at an early
date. The work accomplished last
summer consisted of crosscut u
feet following a feeder of the main
vein about four inches wide and
which carries values in lead and sill
yer. The showing here is so encour-
aging that the directors felt justified
in levying the assessment and prepar-
ing to resume work at the earliest
possible date. Last summer a new
cabin was built and every facility
porvided for operation The company
has no debts and every dollar raised
by the assessment will be utilized for
development. In addition to the
showing developed in the lower tun-
mel a shaft has been sunk on the
vein near the top Of the hill where
It shows up strong and carries con
siderable value in lead and silver.

Women Wanted
M e Red Cross
Surgical Dressings

~ . YOU know that there is most
urgent demand for surgical
l dressings in France? DO you
know that the Red Cross main
tains headquarters in the White q
Bender block for tho manufacture of
surgical dressings? DO YOU know
that the need for surgical dressings is
even greater than that for other ar
ticles being made by the Red Cross ?
Do you know that your services ut
least one afternoon each week will be
most welcome at the surgical dressings
headquarters? II the women of Wal
lace do not know these things, this
will inform them. For some reason
unknown the surgical dressings de-
partment of the Red Cross work has
not received the same attention that
has been given to other lines and for
this there is no explanation other
than that the women have not been
impressed with the importance of the
work and the facilities provided for
supplies.
Two rooms are devoted to this work
in the White & Bender building and
are open every afternoon and every
evening except Friday and Saturday,
and they will be open those evenings
IL the attendance justifies The work
is confined to folding and rolling
gauze and muslin bandapes and seal
ing them in compact packages for
shipment, Every sanitary precaution
Is taken in their preparation. Three
large boxes are ready for shipment
this week, containing 5000 bandages.
These boxes will be shipped to the
Seattle Red Cross headquarters and
from there will go direct to the hos
pitfalls in France.
Mrs. E. G.. Gnaedinger Is chairman Of
the surgical dressings division. While
much has been and Is being accom-
plished, the women Of the city have
not displayed the interest and zeal in
this work that they have manifested

WY YHY is IT that Shoshone Coun-
W. ty cannot pay its current OBJ
" legations promptly and in
conformity with the ordinary
business custom? This is the ques-
ton that Wallace business men and
those in other parts of the county
would like to have answered. Bills
against the county are rendered quar-
terly and the commissioners are eX-
pected to pay them the first meeting
thereafter and which should be held
as soon as practicable after the close
of the quarter. But that is not the
rule followed by the present county
administration. Take the last quarter
petition of what has been going on
for several years Here it is the mid
die of February and the bills against
the county for the quarter ending
has been done within the last two
days. Under this system a business
man who supplied the county or a
man who renders service near the
beginning of the quarter is forced to
carry the account for four months or
more. This is not only contrary to all
rules of business, but actually works
a hardship on many citizens for which
there can be no justification or reas-
enable excuse. Surely the county
cannot be short of cash to meet it's
current expenses, and even if it was it's
credit is good and it's warrants would
cheerfully accepted be accepted in lieu
of cash
AS a matter of fact there should
be a monthly pay day for the county
when all current bills should be paid
There is no reason why a merchant
should wait three months for his mon
ey after he has delivered the goods,
nor the man who performs any kind of
labor or service. But if monthly
payday cannot be adopted, then the
people surely have right to demand
that payments be made promptly at
the end of the quarter.
