Cottonwood Paper
Sold BY Shut TO
Occur dAlene Man
CHANGE is WITHOUT POLITICAL
SIGNIFICANCE, SAYS NEW
PUBLISHER.

Change in ownership of the Cotton
wood Chronicle does not have political
significance, according to II. c. Bailey,
the new publisher of that newspaper,
who was in Grangeville Sunday, in com
pany with s. p Shut, retiring publisher
and Howard Shut, foreman of the
Chronicle office, who will retain his
position under the new management
Since the general election is not far
off, and a fierce political campaign is
being waged in the state, it was felt
in some quarters that the change of
ownership of the Chronicle might have
been brought about in order to promote
the interests of certain nominees, but
this Mr.. Bailey emphatically denied.
Once Newspaper Man-Always.
Mr. Bailey, who came to Idaho county
from Occur d'Alene, is a former news
paper publisher. He at one time en-
gagged in the newspaper game in Mime
sofa, but of recent years has been in
the lumber business in north Idaho.
S. p Shut, who sold the Chronicle,
had owned the paper for fourteen
months. He purchased the Chronicle
from Frank S. Winner Mr.. Shut has
not made definite plans for the future.
He will not Immediately engage in news
paper making, but will rest during the
winter. He sold the Chronicle, he said,
because of his three cons, all of whom
are printers, two already are in the
service of their country, and the third
expects to go soon, and he was thereby
confronted by shortage of help.
Newspaper Change at Sites.
The Sites Enterprise also has chang
I'd hands w. C. Foresman has severed
connection with that paper, which in
the future will be conducted by a Mr..
Stewart, former publisher of the En- |
terprise, who goes to Sites from
amiah.
newspaper change of moment in
he state is the purchase, recently, by
Senator Robert Stevenson, of the Twin
Falls Chronicle from Thomas Dovery.
The paper has been opposed to the
league. Senator Steven
ION formerly was editor of the Wallace
but during the last few
months has been in newspaper work in
Cheyenne, Wyo He is known as one
If the ablest editorial writer's in the
tate of Idaho. That he will guide the
Chronicle with a firm hand and in OPP
position to every form of anarchistic or
ocialistic rule, is generally believed.

.ULT|MATUM URGED ON DESTRUCTION Allies May Destroy German Cities in Reprisal for
 Those of France

Washington, october 2.-An ultimatum to Germany regarding the ruthless de- struction of cities retained, and private property in Northern France and Bell sium, is being urged on the allies, and the United States, and is under con- sideration.
 The burning of Cambrai and St. Quen- tin, and the devastation of one of the most populous regions of Europe as the Germans retreat, has aroused great in- dignation and it was said in diplomatic circles today that Germany would be warned soon that if she allows the work of destruction to continue, severe reprisals will follow.
 It is suggested that the cities of the Rhine should be marked for de@truc- tion, and the Berlin government told that for every French and Belgian city ruined without military reason, a city equally important and valuable senti- mentally and materially, will be laid waste.

BRITISH COMPLETE 144,772 TONS SHIPS
 DURING SEPTEMBER

London, October 2--British Wireless Service. 1.-The British admiralty an- nouLces that the tonnage of merchant vessels completed in the United King dom shipyards during September amounted to 144.772, which is 20,o0o tons in excess of the figures for Au- gust and has only twice been sur passed in any month of this year.
 The total tonnage lu new construc- tion for the first nine months of 1918 was 1,l74,641, as compared with 743,- S53 in the corresponding period of last year. The total for 12 months ending September, 1918, was 1,549,262, as compared with 95i,1S5 for the pre- vious year
 In the second quarter of 1917 the worlds merchant shipping suffered 4 loss of 2,2S6.9S4 tons, but in the last three months for which figures ale available, namely, June, July and Az gust, the total was 932,556 tons-a reduction of 58 per cent.

Hubbard Bros. x Co.'s Letter

New York, October 2.-The bureau re- port indicating a crop of 11,71S,0O0 bales was accepted as pointing to a larger yield, due to the absence of the usual severe deterioration during September. After it was announced the market. which had improved under some buying by spinners, fell rapidly when both the trade in hedge selling, together with some outside short selling. came upon a limited demand Outsiders believe that the statement by the war industries board made early in September that speculation and boarding of cotton would
 be prevented meant that those who bought cotton had the government against them. While conversely the element of doubt precipitated into the market by the inuendo of price fixing after election now being heard and lack of knowledge as to the absolute policy of the buying board, has given confi- dence to those who believe present prices discount this fourth short crop, and even peace. Needless to relate. the local feeling is bearish so long as they think the government is against the market Hubbard Bros. and Co.

from the banks in order to finance the cultivation and marketing of the crops but should also have a large surplus, mucn of which no doubt will be invested in the fourth Liberty Bonds.
 AS IT WILL BE NEXT YEAR
 By the time the crops of next summer and early fall are garnered, railroad conditions will undoubtedly have so greatly improved as to eliminate the dan gef of congestion of grain at the great central point. Should weather conditions prove favorable, there should be a much larger harvest of wheat next summer than the farmers were able to secure this year. The farmers responded cor dially to the appeal of the government authorities last year who asked them to increase the acreage which they would put under wheat cultivation. Reports have been received in this city telling of che intention of the farmers in the south considerably to increase their wheat acreage, for it has been learned that in some parts of the south wheat can be cul- tivated to as great advantage as in any of the wheat belts of the north.
 This disposition of the southern farm CTS was made known before the an- nouncement that the food administration would request the farmers of the United States to plant much larger number of acres to wheat this fall and winter than was done last year.
 That request will in all probability be well needed by the farmers. Fall plow- ing is well under way in some parts of the country and in the great wheat belts of the northwest it is expected that there will be considerable increase in the acreage devoted to wheat cultivation. The farmers of the northwest have done wonderfully we'll this year, having gar nered one of the largest wheat crops on record Not discouraged by a relative falling off in wheat production in Mon-

SUPPLYING CARS
 TO HAUL GRAIN
By HOLLAND

By HOBLAND
 New York, October 2.-(Specia1 , 1907 managers of the various railroads who in the early fall begin hauling corn and grain from the harvest fields i'd tho seaports were In great distress of mind because they were unable to supply a suf fioient number of cars with which to transport the grain and corn. The late James Stillman. who visited Buffalo at that time. said to his friends. upon his return to New York, that 1t was annaI,- ing to see the congestion at Buffalo occa, stoned by the enormous quantity of grain and corn which had been shipped through the great lakes to the Buffalo elevators For it was impossible for the railroads to take care of the corn and grain in any amount and bring the food products to the seaports. There was great demand for wheat from England and from the continent of Europe. MT. Stillman then said that the reason why the railroads could not relieve this unprecedented con gestion at Buffalo and at other points was to be discovered in the fact that by reason of legislative action the credit of the railroads had fallen so low that they were unable to secure new cars ana equipment sufficient to meet the demands for transportation of grain.
 somewhat similar situation is now reported to exist in those large centers to which wheat and other grains are sent by the farmers for the purpose of ship ping these products to the seaports. It-is reported that congestion exists every where in the west and probably will soon be found to be the condition in Buffalo. But it is not due entirely to the condi- tions which prevailed in 1907 that the rail- roads are unable to handle the enormous stores of grain which have been accumu- lating at Duluth. St Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and in other places.
 Director General McAdoo through his subordinates, has been acting with promptness and energy so the railroads now under government control may be able speedily to haul the grain to the sea- ports and to the mills. One of the esul- mates made this morning states that there are not less than 10000 cars held on the railroads which must be moved speedily in order to move the grain
 The farmers are anxious to get their wheat and, as soon as the corn is har- vested. also to get that crop to the mar ket. There will be immediate payment to the farmers for their grains, so that they not only will be in position to iqui- date the loans which they have obtained

tana, the farmers of that state expect to increase their wheat acreage this fall.
 FORTY-FIvE MILLION ACRES
 The food administration believes that the farmers of the United States will be able so to increase their wheat areas that at least 45,0oo.0o0 acres will be cultivated to winter wheat. If this estimate proves to be correct, it will be an increase of about 10 per cent in the area. Twenty years ago some of the experts were con- fident that substantially all of the good wheat growing land of the United States was under cultivation and that there coudl be no addition unless reclamation of land in the far west upon an extensive scale was made. These estimates are now shown to have been far out of the way. We have not exhausted our available wheat belts.
 From 36,0o0O00 acres devoted this year to winter wheat Ia crop of 5oooOo,000 bush els was obtained.
 There are enthusiasts who believe that with proper government encouragement and with adequate as we'll as reasonable transportation facilities the time is not distant when the figure once named by
