AMERICAN BOMBERS TWICE BOMB B0CHE
 BASE BACK OF LINE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 14.-(By the Associated PRESS. "A second excursion of Amer ican bombing planes was made late this afternoon behind the German lines All returned safely notwithstanding anti aircraft fire and after repulsing the attacks of two German airplanes. Five American machines launched 79 bombs weighing two kilos each. on the rail- way station and adjoining buildings at Conflans.
 The first American bombing squad ron to operate behind the front, suc- cessfully raided the Domgcy- Baron- court railway at a point northwest of Briey late Wednesday, dropping many bombs. It is believed that several di- rect hits were made by the five planes participating.
 German Attack Fails
 A large number of German Alba tross machines attacked the bombers after they had performed their mission and were returning home. Three of the Albatrosses attempted to cut out two of the American bombers but them selves were attacked by other American planes. The fight continued until the machines reached the battle line, when the Germans retired.
 All the American aviators returned safely, though they had been heavily shelled by anti aircraft batteries.
 Baroncourt lies 46 miles northeast of Verdun. It is possible that Domgcy is a mutilated spelling of Domremy, vil- lage on the railroad near Baroncourt.

 Taxes Rather Than Bonds
 The adoption of resolutions asking congress to derive funds for carrying on the war from taxation rather than from bond issues, looking to the re- mobilization of labor after the war and making provisions for returned soldiers. was the outstanding feature of a session marked by the disposal of nearly % resolutions.
 Other resolutions on which favor able action was taken, included measures asking that suitable housing conditions be provided for workers in industrial centers, means for elim- mating labor spies, alleged to be em- ployed by some large corporations, and the establishment of a minimum wage scale for government employees
 Favor Suffrage Amendment
 Resolutions calling upon the United States senate to consider and take immediate action on the woman suf- frage bill also were unanimously adopted by the convention.

 AGRICULTURAL BILL
 |S QUICKLY KILLED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June IA. - The senate agricultural committee this afternoon reconsidered it's vote of earlier in the day for a favorable re- port on the proposal of Senator Jones of Washington, for national prohibit ton during the war, and decided to hold hearings on the amendment. The committee, however, sustained it's former action in eliminating from the emergency agricultural bill the Ran dall prohibition amendment
 Senator Smith of South Carolina, acting chairman of the committee, announced that the hearings will open next Monday and continue until pos sibly Wednesday. after which the committee will determine what ac- tion it will take on the Jones amend ment which would forbid the use of grain and foodstuffs in the manu- tacture of malt or Vinous liquors during the war.
 Is Unanimously Rejected
 Several members of the committed including Senator Norris of Nebraska, are said to be of the opinion that the amendment would be unconstitutional. r If the committee decides to reject it, Senator Norris plans to offer a sub stitute.
 Rejection of the Randall amend ment is understood to have been unanimous. Under it's provisions. ex- penditure of approximately $6,000,0 900 provided in the agricultural appro priation bill would have been pre- vented unless President Wilson exer cised the powers conferred on him under the food control act and issued proclamation prohibiting the use of foodstuffs in the production Of beer or wine.
 The committee also eliminated from the bill the house provision prohibit ing the use of any money appropri- ated in the measure to an employe of draft age in the department of agri- culture who had been given deferred 1 classification.

adjutant general and that official had told him that he had not said that he had more trouble with Graham county than with any other county As to the classification of the young men of Graham, MT. Peterson said, the regulations had classified them. A very large number of men of draft age in that county were married be- fore the beginning of the war and were raising families. They had been automatically put into a deferred class.
 Status of Guard Explained
 As to the refusal of the members of the national guard to take the federal oath, MT. Peterson said that those members were generally boys who had gone with the guard to the border. It was then long before this country entered the war that these boys had declined to take the fed eral oath. No test of their patriotism was involved in that matter at that time.
 Graham county, according to tnL records, said Mr. Peterson had con- tributed more approximately to the volunteer service since the outbreak U county. It had many times gone over the top in Liberty loan and Red Cross drives.
 MT Foster replied briefly to the statement of MT. Peterson saying that Mc. Walton was with him in the Of flee of the adjutant general at the tlnt the statement he had quoted was made. The matter was pursued no furtIC1.
 To Amend Cadets Law
 The house in the afternoon passed the bill for the amendment of the high school cadets law to all schools supported out of the public funds. There was a single dissenting vote, that of MT. Green who said in eA- planation that he was voicing the objections of some of his constitu- ents, a large element of Dunkards and socialists. Their objection was not to the military training enforced by the law. but to the wearing of | the cadets uniform.
 Joint Resolution Up | House Joint Resolution No. was introduced by Mir. Walton. It related to the compensation of Messrs. Baxter and Faires, members of the house, ab- sent on military duty in France. After leciting their self sacrifice, the reso- luton provided that the warrants foI their compensation should be issued by the state auditor without the pre- scribed formality and that it be sent to them at the front by the speaker along with a message of congratula- tion and felicitation from the members of the house. The resolution was unan. imously adopted.
 Measures Posthand
 The house in the committee of the whole recommended several measures for indefinite postponement not be- cause of special objection to them but because their subject matter was GOV cred in other measures farther along The committee considered the anti -sa- botage bill from the senate and rec omrlended that it pass.

Tho above big black figures repre- sent the valus of the gold produced in this (Otter) district during the mining season of 1917. Although this amount is considerably below the outputs of several past years, it is very credit able showing when the varions difficult ties encountered by operators during the working months are taken into consids ration, and allowance therefer made. The long run of "hard luck' that hovered over the drsdge of Riley & Co. during the greater part of the summer, cut down the years produc- tion of Otter creek fully one-third.
 It is conservatlvely estimated that at least s5oO,0 additional gold passed through various business houses of Iditarod during the summer aud fall gold shipments from Fortuna Ledge, Ophir, Candle and other camps-which is not included in the above figures.
