DAVE TAPPAN DIES IN
MINNESOTA
Well Known Emmett Rancher
Passes Away at the Mayo
Hospital

David Tappan, for nearly 20 years
a rancher of the Emmett country,
died last night at the Mayo Bros.
hospital in Rochester, MINI. The
news of his death came in a telegram
to bis family this morning, but con
tanned no particulars.
Mr.. Tappan went to the Mayo in
stitution about a month ago to be
treated for cancer on the exterior
of his abdomen. An operation was
performed and he seemed to be re-
covering nicely. A letter received
from him Monday by his wife was
most optimistic and stated that he
was able to sit up a few hours every
day and expected to be home in two
or three weeks. His demise was a
terrible shock to his family here.
David Tappan was 81 years of age.
He came to Emmett in 1900 and had
been a successful rancher. For several
years he had lived on his ranch in the
Bramwell country, but few months
ago bought the B. C. Bowers property
east of town and moved onto it. He
was man of splendid qualities, was
highly esteemed and his death will be
deeply morned by a large circle of
friends. He is survived by his daugh-
ter, and three brothers, all at home,
except Lee, the eldest son, who is at
tending school in New York, and Bry-
ron, who is in the army.
The body will be brought home for
burial. The funeral will be in charge
Of the Modern Woodmen lodge, of
which he was a member.

WELCOME FOR
OUR SOLDIERS
Meeting Called to Effect a Community
Organization for Purpose

The feeling in Emmett seems to be
unanimous that our Gem county SOL
dier boys should be given welcome
home" that will be worth while and in
which all our people could share.
Now is the time to crystalline these
feelings in effecting community or
ganization which shall plan big af-
fair that will adequately express our
appreciation of the soldier boys, and
in which all can participate. To this
end we propose a community meeting
to be held on Friday evening, Feb. 21,
at o'clock, in the Baptist church. To
this meeting we call the citizenship of
Emmett and Gem county to assemble
and assist in forming an organization
so we can be prepared when the time
arrives. We have seen the authorities
of the Baptist church, and they will
gladly give the use of their building.
Now, let US all attend, pack the
church and plan a royal welcome for
our soldier boys. We suggest that our
local Four Minute Men and others be
prepared to speak at this meeting
come.

and change the dates as follows: Miss
Mac Laren, February 19; DR.. Gillian

The influenza epidemic and the con-

we were at Camp Meigs, Washington,
D. c., it was paradise to what this
place is. We left Camp Meigs Sept.
26 for overseas, but some way our
transportation got mixed up and we
landed here. We were to have left in
two weeks, but the flu broke out in
camp and everything was put under
quarantine. The boys sure did feel
blue when they found out that we were
stuck in this camp. We are only
seven miles from City Point Hopewell,
where many soldier embarked for
France, and lots of wounded men are
coming back here to the big base
hospital. They come down the James
river from Newport News. The 9Th
division that came here from Fremont,
Calf, has been discharged, except the
regulars in it. But we are unlucky
and l think the way things look now
we will be here for six months or
more. But l guess l can stand it. l

There are II Idaho boys in the units

altogether. They are enlisted boys

good times. The boys are from nearly

mail carrier system. Preparations

that, under the postal regulations, the
carrier system will not be installed
unless 5000 people are in the district
to be served. The population of the
city is not quite up to the 5000 mark.

NEWS or OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From "The Boy

January 20-Have fully recovered
from our wonderful trip to the States
and back, and have settled down to a
nice long stay with the hospital once
again. At the present time | have a
new job You know all the men who
have been wounded or seriously sick
are now sent home as soon as they
are in condition to travel This hospi-
tai happens to be the gathering place
in the A E. F. for all men of that
kind who are on their journey home,
and have charge of the job of col
lecting all their army papers, bring
ing the papers up to date, and getting
the men started on their way home.
AS soon as l have their papers all
checked up l put in request for
transportation and the men are sent
on their way home. l think it is
mean trick to give me such job after
1 tried so hard to get to go home with
the 41st Division and then failed. The
job also takes away my beauty sleep,
for about every other morning | have
to have the men down to the station
by $50.
The 41st Division hasn't left for the
States, and from all reports it will
not leave now until after the first of
February. Floy was in yesterday to
visit friends and today Lawrence Burt
and some of the other boys from this
outfit were in calling. They take
great delight in kidding US because
we can't go home, and of course we
can't take it in good grace. When we
were transferred out of the 41st Divi
sion we were assigned to Sanitary
Squad No. for distribution to our
various outfits, and the evening we
reported there they had big sign
across the road, Welcome Home"
received lots of mail the past
week. Papers have come dated as
late as December "a, so | have been
pretty lucky with mail the past month.
While l was out to Theisee with the
164th Ambulance Co., Clare Haylor
was up to the hospital to see me, but
l was gone. He is on his way home,
so the boys told me, SO suppose that
he will be dropping in some day with
story that l am on my way, too,
but no such luck. Chances for US
coming home at the present time are
very slender. There is a report out
that we will be moved to La Mans,
and take charge of hospital there.
If we do it means that we will be the
last soldiers to leave France, for that
is the place that all troops must pass
through on their way home.
Work here is not very rushing at
the present time, and will probably
grow less and less in the future. So
we have taken up hobby to pass
the time away. We hunt up all the !,
we can find with picture in,
cut the picture out and paste them
up on the walls in our offices. In the !
office l am in we started a few days
ago, but already we have practically
the entire side of one of the walls {
covered with pictures, most of them c
being of actresses and famous beau /
lies, although some Of the boys have '
4 hobby of cutting out all the fine r
ooking dishes they can find, such as a
he fine eats that Jell-o puts out, etc. b
