Good Attendance at Mid Week
Luncheon; First Gathering
Since Flu Epidemic.
HIGHWAY DISCUSSION
Desire Retention of State High
way Engineer H. G. Allen;
Telegraph Governor.

At the Commercial club luncheon
Wednesday, the first held for several
weeks owing TO the prevalence of the
flu, expressions of good will We're
heard from several guests, and por-
tiOn of Il letter received by Harold Har-
ris from Senator n. Il. Pettibone, re-
lating TO the North and South highway
project was read.
The portion of the letter which was
of especial interest follows:
Il am glad to inform you that the
I, deral department has made up the
deficit ON the Grangeville- White Bird
road and contractors bonds have been
approved and | have also been inform
ed they will start work as soon as they
can get their equipment together. Pos
sibly some of the contractors are on the
ground now"
Discussion on this matter led to the
suggestion that some steps he taken
toward securing titles to portions of
the right of way not already purchas-
ed 1t was pointed out that according
to the strict letter of the law work
could not begin ON the highway until
the whole of the right of way was Sc
cured, or until condemnation proceed
ings had been started in the courts, and
were not secured work on the project,
once started would he called To halt.
The Lake Highway district, 1t was
stated, had taken no step toward buy
ing their portion of the right of WAY.
Consequently the motion was introduc-
cd and passed that the Commercial
club should invite the commissioners

order that expressions of opinion might

The club felt that. if possible, the SER

engineer, should bc retained. His work
on this section of the road has been
highly satisfactory and 'he has taken
an active and helpful interest in the
actual progress of affairs For that
reason il was thought Il change in the
engineering department at this time
would be Il serious setback to opera

EYEWITNESS
OF GERMANS
SURRENDER
Virgil James, Brother of Mrs
T. A. Bayless, Home
on Furlough.

One of the most impressive sights
connected with the German and pos
Sihly the most StuRndouS transfer of
war material in history was the recep-
tiOn of the Hun fleet by British. Amcri-
can and French battle ships Such Il
humiliating admission of defeat was
never witnessed as when the German
upcrdrcadnaughtS entered the Firth
of Forth between two lines of Allied
men of war and became the property of
the VictOrS. The Allied officers had
the whole affair planned out and ar
ranged that there WIS no possibility of
the Huns turning on them at the last
moment. An interesting account of the
whole affair comes first hand to us
from Il local sailor boy, Virgil James
who was aboard the battleship Texas,
at the time and is aow in Grangcville
on furlough. This is the way he de-
scribes it,
"On the morning of Nov. 21 at I 30

Republic the Federal power cannot in
tervene in affairs which, like that of
Mr.. Jenkins, belongs properly and cx-
clusively to the authorities Of the
State of Pucbla. For this reason the
executive could not order the judge
having jurisdiction of the case to free
MIR. Jenkins, because this latter func-
tionary could with reason refuse to
obey such an order. The executive
would thus be lacking in the first

he has always tried to observe-that

Mexican government, without trying

the Department of State will post
