BY an error In our last issue it was
stated that the republican state con-
vention would be held at Tacoma
June 8. 1t should nave read June
9th. If there are any republicans in
the county who can spare the time
they are invited to attend the con-
vention, as there will be no county
convention to select delegates. Geo.
A. Blackwell will undoubtedly attend,
and number of others should try and
make the trip.

stopped work at the Copper World
Extension, now that the surplus ore
has been forwarded to the smelter.
They are doing extensive development
work on the 800 foot level, where the
immense copper bearing ledge makes
the best showing. The Copper World
Extension is no longer an experiment,
it is a producing mine. A tram is to
be installed, which will prove a great
saving in the handling of ore, and in
a few months the mine will be on a
steadily paying basis. If that prop
erty is not a mine then there is no
mines in this part of the northwest.

here some time can remember any
thing that would compare with it in
general cussedness. Wind was blow
ing with considerable velocity, and it
felt as though coming straight out of
a furnace. 1t was a whitening and
shriveling wind, and vegetation, out
side of the irrigated zones, curled up
as though subjected to fire. The
air was loaded with dust, and at times
the very mountains that parallel the
valley near at hand were shut out
from view.

Rhemke buying garden seed. Mr..
Rhemke has fine place south of
town under irrigation. He said that
this was the third time he was plant
ing vegetable seed this season. Twice
the tender plants came up handsome
ly, and twice the cut worms had de-
vastated his garden. Considerably
aggrieved but not wholly discouraged
he was going to try and beat the cut
worm to it by a third planting.
The eclipse Saturday afternoon
came off on schedule time, and most of
the population was out craning their
necks and gazing through smoked
glass as the exhibition was on. Clouds
interfered with clear sight of the
astronomical phenomenon, but most of
the moons progress across the face
of the sun, could be observed. The
eclipse was almost total at this point
When the eclipse was at it's full only
a narrow rim of the sun appeared on
the upper side. AS the next eclipse is
scheduled for about 1910 there will
be lot of us entertained by this last
exhibition who will not be on deck to
take observation of the next one.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mcdonnell, who

is prepared to fill any contract in that

his experience can do it right.

1t is pleasure that we have no hesi-

otto spirit, and a desire to take part
in the great adventure, that has ami
mated so many young Americans that
have sprung to the defense of the COL
ors' 1t is such enthusiasm and will
ingness to voluntarily make the SUI

can army the great fighting machine
that has won recognition in the past
and which is making a record on the

are soldiers from choice. They have
not been compelled to train for years
until they become mere automatons.
They believe in their country and are
willing to die to perpetuate a demo-
cratic form of government. Young

machine the administration is build
ing up and will give a good account
of himself when called upon to do his
part.

GERMAN PRISONERS
AVAILABLE FOR WORK
TeutonS Can Be Used on the
Roads at ST Per Day,
Says Judge Patterson

The German prisoners of war informed
at Fort Mcpherson are available for
work on the public roads of the state,
provided each man is paid 81 per day
for his labor. according to Judge T. Z.
Patterson, chairman Of the state high
way commission, who has just returned
from Washington.
Judge Patterson made the trip to the
national capital to confer with war de-
partment officials relative to the posi-
bility of securing the German prisoners
for highway construction. international
law provides that prisoners of war, if
utilized as laborers, must be paid for
their work at the same rate of pay as
soldiers of the nation in which they are
informed. That rate in the United States
is 81 per day.
If it can be shown to the satisfaction
of the war department, however. that
the road work is both urgent and nee
essary says Judge Patterson, ii is pos
sible that the government may stand
the expense of paying the prisoners.
Steps are now being taken with a view
to convincing the war department of
the necessity of certain road work in
Georgia, so that the 1900 informed
Teutons at Fort Mcpherson may be
utilized without expense to the coun-
ties affected
Under tho existing situation, how
ever, any county willing to pay each
prisoner 81 per day may secure their
services for road building work
