Three Banks in Grangeville Report
Subscriptions Received to
Date.

Idaho county is far behind in the
raising of its quota of $4,000 in the
fourth Liberty loan campaign, judging
from available returns of bonds for
which subscription already has been
made. Complete returns from the en-
tire county are not available. Letters
stating the quota of each taxpayer in
the county were mailed late last week,
and returns from those who have been
notified Of their quotas are beginning
to come in. Still, there is disposition
on the part of some to hold back The
Liberty loan rally planned for Satur-
day, will not be held, because of the
influenza closing order.
Banks in towns other than Grange
vile have not reported on their sub
scriptions. - The campaign closes Satur-
day, October 10. Only eight more work
ing days are left in which the county
Ray fill its quota. Subscriptions

CHURCHES, THEATERS AND LODI
GEES IN IDAHO ARE CLOSED
SCHOOLS REMAIN OPEN

All places of public gathering in the
state of Idaho, with the lone exception
of the public schools, were on Wednes-
day ordered closed by the state board of
helath, in order to prevent spread of
Spanish influenza. The closing is to be
enforced oil and after today, until such
time as danger from an influenza cpl
demic has passed.
Affected by the order are theaters of
every sort, including motion picture
theaters, churches, lodges, dances, and
every public assemblage. 1t will mean
halt in Liberty loan rallies, political
meetings, and every line where the pub
lie gathers.
Although the epidemic has been dis
covered in only a few places in Idaho,
the closing order was issued by the state
board of health to prevent spread of
the disease, which has claimed thous-
ands of lives, mainly in the cantonments
in the United States.
The closing order was received in
Wednesday by DR.. G.. S.
county health officer, and vas
by him transmitted to all parts of the
county.
The epidemic first was discovered on
the Atlantic seaboard, and spread rapid
y throughout the United States, until it
reached the Pacific coast, taking
heavy toll in lives of both soldiers,
sailors and civilians. Influenza soon
develops into pneumonia, which is fol-
owed by death.
Influenza cases up to Monday, re-
ported from all camps since the disease
became epidemic, September 10, now
otal 1877, 900; pneumonia cases 17,102,
nd deaths 1910. Camp Dodge, Ia, re-
ported the largest number of new in
luenza cases during the 48-hour period
o Monday noon, with 1902 cases;
amp Funston, Kas., the next largest,

No case of Spanish influenza has been
eported in Grangeville or Idaho county.

Said to be disloyal at heart and a
Sympathizer with Germany in the war,
although he professed that he did not
know enough about the war to take a
stand on either side, Henry Book, "a
years old, a rancher residing two miles
west of Grangeville, will soon be placed
under arrest. Book was given a hear
ing before the Idaho County Council of
Defense, Wednesday evening, and fol
lowing the hearing it was unanimously
recommended that complaint be filed
with U. S. Commissioner Taylor, and it
is probable that Deputy U. s. Marshal
Mark Howe will be here from Moscow
within a few days to take charge of
Book.
The man, who is bachelor, is
native of Germany, but came to the
United States with his parents, when
he was quite young, he told the defense
council.
Book has repeatedly hesitated about
contributing to war funds, notably the
Red Cross, and at times when he was
by solicitors made remarks
that revealed he was not squarely be-
hind the government His talk indi-
Gated he had been reading socialistic
literature, and that he was pro-German.
"'Do you want America or Germany |
to win the warg' Book was asked at
the hearing.

press an opinion" he replied.

The Right Drug store, OWNED by A. F.

The stock is to be removed to Mr.. Clan

The purchase of the Right Drug store
by Mr.. Granville, and the consolidation
of the business with his own, leaves
Grangeville with only two drug stores.
For many years Grangeville has had
three drug stores.

ASKS, HOW ABOUT PEOPLE?
Wants to Know Whether Teutons Will
Accept Terms Laid Down, and
Who Is in Authority

shington-President Wilson has
met Germany's peace note with move
which will, at one stroke develop,
whether her proposal is sincere or
merely pretension, and, if a pretension
it be, fully justify for all time before
the world the prolonging of the war
with force to the utmost, force with
out stint of limit. At the same time
the president has left wide open the
door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies of the central powers
remain on invaded soil, the president
called on the German chancellor to
state, as an absolutely necessary preli-
minary to a reply from the entente
allies and the United States, whether
Germany accepts the principles of peace
repeatedly laid down, or merely pro-
poses to accept them as the basis of
and whether the chancellor
merely speaks for the German military
masters conducting the war, or the
whole German people.

R0ADFR0MHERE TO LOS ANGELES
 IN FAIR SHAPE

Tourists intending to travel over land to. Los Angeles will probably find that the best route at present is by way of Salome- Rouse Parker Needles. In Arizona this road is in fair shape, and the road from Los Angeles to Needles is in better condition than it has been for some time.
 From Phoenix to Agua Fria the road is just about as usual, somewhat bumpy, but fair. The crossing at the Agua Fria is not at all difficult as but a short stretch of sand will be found in the river. From Agua Fria to the Hassayampa the road is in fair shape with some bad washed out places. The crossing of the river is also very good. From here to Salome the road is fair, though rather rough in spots. At pres ent, 1t will be found better to go to Salome and Bouse rather than through Wenden. From Salome to Bouse the road will be found to be in quite good shape. From Bouse to Parker the road is fairly good, with some very good stretches over which excellent time can be made. There are also some rather poor places on the road-more rough riding than actually bad. Before ar irving in Parker, of course, the road is rather bad.
 The ferry approaches at Parker. at the present time, are exceptionally good. The river is up so that it is not necessary to cross long stretches of bad sand One can drive directly onto the ferry from the river bank. For several miles on the California side of the river, bad road will be encount- cred. After this though and all the way to Needles. the road is quite good. In one place, an excellent sand road extends down canyon and here splen- did time can be made for a number of miles. Before arriving at Needles the road joins the transcontinental high way, which is in splendid shape all the way to Needles.
 From Needles to Amboy the road is good. This piece of road is usually poor, but at present it is in very good shape. Once in while a bad spot will be met with; but, for the most part, the road is not at all poor The short stretch between Amboy and Lud low. which is always bad, is also in fairly good shape. In fact the bad road which used to extend the entire distance between these two towns is now but a few miles in length One still has the Amboy Ludlow dip the dips" to jolt over, but even these are not as bad as they might be. From Ludlow to Barstow, very fine desert road will be found. The same is true as to the road from Barstow to the summit of the Cajon. From here 6 paved road leads into Los Angeles.
