From the Tyndall Tribune.

Hon. c. C. Terrence is reported tt
have been very sick man at his
home near Bon Homme, but is now
slowly improving. His ailment is
stomach trouble.
DR.. E. H. Boon received a tele-
gram from military headquarters
Monday instructing him to be pre-
pared to report for duty at Camp
Riley January g. This means that
the Doctor will not leave Tyndall for
ten days at least.
The total sales for Red Cross
Christmas stamps amounted to $l65 :
70 in Bon Homme county, exclusive
of Scotland, the amount sold there
not having been reported This will
insure trained nurse for month to
visit schools of the county for the
purpose Of instructing the children
regarding tuberculosis and methods of
avoiding this dreaded disease.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Glasner have
received card from Jack saying that
he has arrived safely in France. The
card was mailed at New York and
was undoubtedly released there when
the cablegram was received saying
that the transport on which Jack
crossed the Atlantic had arrived safe
~ in Europe. Mr.. and Mrs. Glas-
ner are expecting letter from their
son any time telling of his ynvaee
across the ocean. To the best of our
knowledge Jack is the first boy from
Tyndall who was in the old S. D.
National Guard to reach France, most
Of the other boys being now at Camp
Merritt.

'asiAs kITcHENER's OWN CITY

A sentimental interest will always
attach to Khartoun, for it is Kitchen.
er's city. He fought his way to it III
the Nile, to find the Old town blasted
sacked and destroyed by the dervishes,
writes correspondent. He is said to
have drawn the plans for the new
kilartounl on the sand with his own
hand, and the engineers set to work
the same day to build it up. The
streets and squares are laid out in the
design of a monster Union Jack.
All that was only in 1895, but the
new khartoum is already place OF
beauty and Importance There are
many groves of noble trees, a feature
only to be appreciated by the desert
dweller, for, the dervishes were not
schooied In the refinements of modern
warfare. They sacked the town on
their retreat, but they failed to girdle
the trees. They were only ignorant
savages and they did their best, but
thanks to their unfamiliarity with mod.
ern methods, Khartoum has some beau.
tiful groves today. There are rose
gardens, too, that were planted by the
unfortunate Gordon himself.
The Blue Nile runs past the city:
river gunboats helped Kitchener to en-.
compass It's fall. The White Nile is
only few miles away. These two
great arteries of trade stretch their
way southwark into the unknown and
northward flows the united river to-
ward Cairo and the Mediterranean.
The trade Of the town is augmented
by all manner of parties from the saw
age interior, and about Khartoum are
native villagers built after the fashion
Of NIL the tribes Of the Sudan. The
people are drawn from all the ends of
Africa, negroes and Arabs and from
Europe and Asia come Syrians, Greeks
and Copts. The upper classes are |
Egyptians in commercial circles in the
political and administrative world the
English, OF course, are dominant. 1t !
IS strange and cosmopolitan city that
has grown from the plan that Kitch-
ener sketched on the sand, with the
dead OF the lags days fighting still un-
buried on the plain.

Boomers Ferry
Idaho

is the county seat of Boundary county
and is located on two transcontinenal
railways, the Great Northern and Spo-
kane International. Boomers Ferry is
the head of navigation on the Koote-
mai river. 1t is the terminal of the
Kootenai Valley railway, which runs
to Foothill, close to the Canadian boun-
Diary line.
Boomers Ferry has three fine, mod
ern school buildings and an efficient
corps of teachers. Seven religious de-
nominations are represented and near
ly ell of the best lodges have organi-
cations. The city is we'll supplied with
all kinds of business houses which car
ry large stocks of merchandise.
The citizens of Boundary county
and Boners Ferry are energetic and
wide-awake and are willing and anx-
ious to encourage the coming of new
settlers in the county.
The Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club is a live organization and if any
reader of the Herald desires full par
ticulars concerning the town or coun-
ty, write A. j. Kent, secretary of the
commercial club.

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
it's infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed
No irrigation in this district. GOOD
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

Washington, March 1f.-Political ac- tivity of the German-American alliance and it's subsidiary organizations was de- scribed before the Senate investigating committee today by E. Lowry Bumes United States district attorney at Pitts burg and Joseph Keller of Indianapolis. vice president of the national alliance. The committee is holding hearing on a bill to revoke the charter of the aili- ance on the ground that it is unra- triotic.
 MT. Humes, who came into possession of the: records of the alliance organiza- ton in Allegheny county. Pennsylvania, through a grand jury investigation of the activities of German organizations opposing prohibition, testified that the Allegheny county alliance urged it's members to support Charles F. Hughes in the last presidential election. His defeat was attributed by the alliance s executive committee as due to the sup- port "by that sabre-rattling Roosevelt :" according to the witness. The Allegheny organization adopted a resolution in 1915 urging a special session of Congress 10
 
 pass law prohibiting the shipment of munitions to the allies. said MT. Humcs. and after the United States entered tne war the organization's executive coni- mittee advocated reopening of mail com |munication with Germany under a cen sorship.
 The district attorney further testified that the records of the organization showed that it had collected sls.0oO for German war relief before the United States entered the war and esnt it to the German and Austrian embassies. It was brought out at the hearing last Sat- urday that great part of more than 3sSo.ooO collected In this country by the national alliance was turned over by Count von Bernstorn, former German ambassador. to pr.

Wilson sage

Washingte. ,fch 1.-The Presidents . $ ge, telegraphed to the Am Consul general at Moscow Z 8 very, follows:
 "May take advantage of the meeting or the Congress of the Soviets to express the sincere sympathy which the people of the United States feel for the Russian people at this moment when the German power has been thrust in to interrupt and turn back the whole struggle for the freedom and substitute the wishes of Germany for the purpose of the people of Russia. Although the government of the United States is, unhappily, not now in position to render the direct and effective aid it would wish to render, I beg to assure the people of Russia through the Congress that it will avail itself of every opportunity to secure for Russia once more complete sover- eighty and independence in her own affairs and full restoration to her great role in life of Europe and the modern world. The whole heart of the people of the United States is with the people of Russia in the attempt to free themselves forever from autocratic govern ment and become the masters of their own life.

as he has done. backed by intimate
 knowledge of all that has transpired in the United States since this country entered the great war. he will be, able to give as well as receive important information.
 The great question of the direction in which he is to exert his greatest effort in the war may be decided In these conferences abroad. There has been a constant conflict not only as to the use of ship tonnage as between sh ipment of troops and the shipment of supplies for the allies. but also as to the priority rights of various army supplies and equipment.
 Aside from any particular object the war secretarys trip may have, he has been eager to get to the front ever since the United States entered the l,war. He has frequently told officers in route to Europe that he envied them their opportunity to see world l in the making. Added to that is his great feeling of personal responsible l fly for the war preparations of the ' government.

COAL PRODUCTION
 ID HOLD UP UNDER
 PRICE REVISION

Washington, March 11.-Reductions in coal prices announced by the fuel ad-
 ministration will not result in any ma-
 terial loss of production, in the opinion
 of officials who approved the changes.
 Fair profit has been assured to more
 than 95 per cent of the mines in each
 case, they say, and the remaining small
 number are expected to readjust their
 operating costs to permit them to con-
 tinue business without loss
 Two reasons have been found by the
 fuel administration for the high operat-
 ing costs which place few mines out
 side the prices fixed. One is peculiar physical situations. which make the
 mining more expensive, and the other lis unwise expenses, such as high sal aries. heavy royalties or careless man |agement. Many of the mines are ex- pected to put changes into effect, which will not only enable them to mine coal at the government prices, but will be of benefit when peace is restored and gov ernment regulation ends Should any of the mines close down, the increased production from the mines of low oper- ating costs is expected to more than compensate.
 While prices for domestic coal are be- ing reduced sharply, those for industrial fuel are being cut to smaller extent, so that production will be stimulated in order to speed up the war programme, Price revisions in the Oklahoma, Arkan- sas and Texas fields probably will be the next announced.
 A general scheme for the licensing of coal jobbers is being worked out by the fuel administration. Elimination of
 undue expenses in coal distribution will be sought. but there will be no effort to do away with the legitimate middlenan, especially in New England and the northwest where domestic purchasers
 depend on jobbers to very large ex- {, tent.

Washington, March 11.-Iu discussions today of the war departments new policy of an nouncing names only in the
 casualty lists from France, if developed that department of ficials are considering adopt, ing the European custom of
 publishing casualties weekly
 or bi-monthly, instead of daily
 This plan has been suggested on the ground that it would effectually conceal from the enemy the losses in particular engagements or series of engagements. Even if it is approved by the general staff, however, final faction on the suggestion is expected to await tfe return of Secretary Baker from Europe.
 Lacking instructions to the contrary from President Wilson the department probably will adhere strictly to the de- cision to eleiminate dates, designations of units to which the men belonged and their home addresses in the daily lists Major General March, acting chiet oi staff. and the officers immediately under him, are in agreement, it is understood that General Pershing's judgment mus; be accepted on all questions of this char acter. As the man on the ground he is regarded as best fitted to gauge the re suits at the front.
 Since relatives of the men killed ol 1 wounded are promptly informed, it i' argued that no hardship Is imposed by the new order upon those most nearly concerned The staff officers therefore contend that if there is the lslightes
 chance that the giving out for publica
