RIVERSIDE PARK N
 SEASONS OPENING

Riverside park opened yesterday to fine crowd, comprising several thou sand persons, who took the greatest interest in the bathing girls premiere and in the amusement provided. Hun dreds of cars were parked withing the gates and the busses worked all after noon carving capacity loads.
 The capacity of the dance pavilion has been doubled, the floor refinished. and a number of private boxes in stalled. Two clay surfaced tennis courts and a volley ball court are in course of construction. A real res taurant, under the management of Bebek and McCaleb, opend at 6 last night.
 The concessions, under the manage ment Of Charles Asch. are all going full tilt, and doing a fine business. The alfalfa candy factory is an unusual at traction to many, both from the stand point of it's unusual product and the sanitary and businesslike appearance.
 The pool was hugely enjoyed by the crowd, the old bugaboo of cold water having been entirely done away with. The heating system warns up one fourth the amount of water needed to Ill the pool enough to temper the whole and make it comfortable. This one-fourth is added to the pool daily. the entire pool being drained and cleaned on alternate days.
 The bathing girls were the feature of the day, however. Eight in num- Der, clad in charming local creations. they were paraded about town perched on the tops of some of the tlossiest cars in the city, and then were driven to the park, where they paraded before the judges and the prizes were awarded.
 The entries were Misses Opal Robin son, May Wolf, Pauline Robinson. Zella Hall, Louree Matchen, Francis Townley, Lola Powell, and Floy Me Crary. They were carried in dealers cars from the agencies for the Kissel Silver six, Dodge five passenger. the Apperson Anniversary 8, the Stude- baker six, the Oldsmobile s the Paige MarmOn and Chandler.

"Ns way, II you please" said he,
pointing to the seance room.
I took two more steps and stopped
again, In front of the reception room
door. I had the strongest feeling
come over me that didn't want to go
into the seance room with him-that
I simply could not go-that my feet
refused to bulge another inch in that
direction.
As I hesitated-for there was such
ratty look In his face that he re-

And followed him at once to the

pushed open. standing aside and say

To my surprise the room was brill

bulbs in full bloom; and turned just
in time to see him lock the door on us
and pocket the key!
He did it so swiftly, so silently, that

the threshold knew he was going to
lock the door, and wheelcd-just one
second too soon. Had / taken four
more steps into the room I should
have been none the wiser about the

ONE OF OLDEST FARMS
SOLD
Peck Ranch Changes Ownership
Patent Signed by Grover
Cleveland

After continual ownership of
nearly 40 years, the Peck ranch south
west of town was last week sold to
M. E. Lewis of Moscow by Mrs. w.
D. Mcfarland, formerly Mrs. Peck.
The ranch, consisting of 120 acres,
was homesteaded by Mrs. McFarland's
first husband about 1880. A patent
was issued during Grover Cleveland's
first administration-188 to 1889
and bears his signature. With the ex-
ception of few years, when the place
was rented, the Pecks lived continu-
ously on the farm until last year.

Rich Strike Il Pearl.

A dispatch in the Capital News
says: "a vein of rich silver ore Is
inches thick has been struck in the
lowest level of the Zulu mine at Pearl.
The ore carries silver sulphides, ruby
silver, and as high as AZ per cent lead;
and has a value of s475 per ton A
winze is now being sunk on this vein.
Leases in the oxide zone of this
property, it IS reported, are about to
ship . car Of high grade chloride and
carbonate ore that is expected to net
$3.50 per ton. This is the property
being worked by Walter Hovey Hill
and associates Not only has it made
a production of good ore this year, but
it has large tonnage of milling ore

Bows Steal Bicycles.

The theft of bicycles from the High
School building is almost an every day
occurrence, but so far the police have
not been able to catch the culprits.
Most of the thefts seem to be COM
mitted from pure cussedness rather
than to profit thereby, as most of the
wheels are taken to an out-of-the-way
place and wrecked. Several wheels
have been found near tn river so badly
damaged as to be rendered worthless.
The work is believed to be done by q
gang" of boys, who do not confine
their depredations to bicycles, but
tamper with automobiles. A car be-
to Rev. A. C. Lathrop was
badly damaged last evening while
parked at the Baptist church.

Two Cars Turn Over.

Two of the Beutler boys put on a
show Tuesday night that will not be
repeated. The boys were driv-
ing their cars to the Beutler ranch
south Of town, when they met at the
corner Of Fourth and Johns and de-
cided to have race home They had
only raced couple of blocks when
they hit bad spot in the road, and
both cars turned over, one turning
completely over twice. None of the
occupants of either car had scratch,
although they were badly shaken up.
and all were frightened over their
narrow escape. The windshields and
ops of both cars were broken, but out
side of that little damage was done.

Wants Laws Enforced.

In nation, state and municipality
laws are passed without regard to
heir usefulness or expediency, and
imply clutter up the statute books.
70 one thinks of enforcing them. 1t
s safe to say that if all the laws on
the statute books of Emmett were en-
forced, more than half of the resi-
dents would be in jail. But once in a
while the worm turns. Such is the
case in Ashton, small town in the
southeastern part of the state, and
the story, as contained in yesterdays
dispatches is as follows: "R- B.
French. editor of the Ashton Enter
prise, Nonpartisan paper, has sworn
out complaints against practically
every businessman of Ashton and
caused their arrest. The men were all
brought before Justice of the Peace
H. G. Kelly, charged with violation of
an ordinance passed by the village in
its infancy, which required all bust

TREATY RATIFICATION LOST
Senate Votes to Defeat Pact-Then
Congress Adjourns-

After three Intellectual attemnts to
ratify the peace treaty had failed, the
senate late Wednesday nieht gave up
the attempt, laid the treaty aside and
adjourned sine die. All compromise
efforts to bring ratification failed, the
three resolutions Of ratification all
going down by overwhelming major
tiles. The Republican leaders appar-
emily despairing of bringing two
thirds of the senate together for any
sort of ratification then put in a re-
solution to declare the war at an end.
Two of the three ratification votes
were taken on the resolution drafted
by the Republican majority, contain
ing reservation which President VIII
son had told Democratic senators in
letter earlier in the day would mean
notification of the treaty. On each
of the votes most of the Democratic
supporters of the treaty voted against
ratification.
The first vote on this resolution
stood 80 for to SIS against On the
second vote taken after several hours
of parliamentary wrangling in whieA
the Democrats made vain efforts to
win over some of the Republican
groupof mild reservationists, Al sena-
tors voted in the affirmative and 81
in the negative.
The third vote was on a straight
out ratification without reservations,
which got only 38 votes to 50 oppcs-
ing it. Only one Republican, Senator
of North Dakota, voted
with the Democrats in its support
Republican Leader Lodge declared
voting constituted a
final decision on the peace treaty un-
ess President Wilson circumverted ;

GEMS SPLENDID
RECORD
County's Percentage in Victory Loan
Subscriptions Was 1922.

Gem county made a splendid rec

Oregon, Washington, California, New

emphasizes the fact
The official figures are: Quota,

REINSTATE INSURANCE.
BEFORE DEC. 81
If Government Policies Have
Lapsed Prompt Application
Will Reinstate Them.

! The "old man" of The Index has
been induced to take charge of the
government war risk insurance for
Gem county. 1t viii be his pleasure
to render all assistance possible to
soldiers desiring aid in reinstating
lapsed insurance
Two new treasury decisions affect
ing government term insurance have
just been received. If government
term insurance has been allowed to
lapse or has been cancelled, it can
now be reinstated within three months
after the date of discharge by simply
sending a check or money order for
two months premiums to the Insur-
ance Division Of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance 1t is not necessary
to make any written application for
reinstatement or to send a statement
of good health
If more than three months have
passed since being discharged, a man
must be able to send the required
statement of good health, but if such
reinstatement is applied for before
December 81, 1919, it will be granted
regardless of how long the insurance
has lapsed. This gives great many
men whotwere discharged over eight
cen months ago and whose insurance
has lapsed for more than one year a
chance to reinstate, providing they do
so before the end of this year.
