STANDPOINT MAN
FOR U. S. SENATOR
VETERAN, WOUNDED IN WORLD
WAR, NOW IN HOSPITAL MAY
ENTER THE RACE

WASHINGTON Captain Albert
H. Connor, who is a patient at Wal
ter Reed hospital, this city, while re-
covering from a wound sustained in
the Argonne fighting, is very prob
able candidate for United States SEN
ator in Idaho next year.
There appears to be considerable
demand from some of the republicans
of north Idaho that Captain Connor
make the race, according to infOrma-
tion received from some of his friends
in this city. Besides an enviable war
record Captain Connor is said to have
clean record at home where he is
best known by the statesmanlike quail
tiles which distinguished his conduct
as speaker of the house in the Idaho
legislature of 1915. His home is at
Standpoint, in north Idaho, a location
which is pointed out should mean
something in the next nominating
contest as the other republican SEN
ator, William E. Borah, is from south
Idaho.
1t is said of Captain Connor that he
is one of the few political possibili-
ties in north Idaho who can claim an
acquaintance and following to any
wide extent in the southern part of
the state.
1t will be several weeks before he
can leave the hospital permanently at
which time he contemplates return
ing to Standpoint to resume the prac-
tice of law. Captain Connor, how
ever, is not the old soldier candidate
mentioned for the senate seat now
held by John F. Nugent, democrat.
Colonel E. C. Davis, formerly Of
Boise, but now on the general staff
of the army and detailed to the war
college, is another possible candidate
for the republican nomination.

MYSTERY OF DISAPPEARANCE
IRA ARCHIE HAWLEY DEEPENS

The mystery concerning the strange
of Moscow, who disappeared in France
and from whom no direct word has
been received since May 2S, 1918, deep
ems. His wife telegraphed Saturday
to Camp Dix, Va, after had received
"a telegram from Adjutant General
Harrison stating that Ira A. Hawley,
B Company, 2Sth Infantry, had land
ed in the United States on February
p. This morning she received a tele-
gram stating that he had not reached
Camp Dix. A telegram sent by r. E.
Neidig, head of the Latah County Red
Cross to the Red Cross at Washing
ton, ID. c., asking that an investiga-
tion be started at once, has not been
answered yet ,
Today it was learned that a letter
from France, was delivered Saturday
through the local poStoffice and that
employees of the postoffice noticed
that the name and address of Ira A.
Hawiey was written across the end of
the envelope. An advertisement has
been sent out to try to locate the per-
son to whom the letter was delivered
1t is hoped in this way to get some
trace of the missing man. Postoffice
employees say they remember seeing
the name of Ira A. Hawley and an
address in France, written on the en-
velope but they did not notice to
whom the letter was delivered. Mrs.
Hawley has asked that the person
who received this letter communi-
cate with her.
The mysterious disappearance of
the young man, who was a great fa-
vorite in Moscow, where he was rear
ed and attended the grade, and the
high school and the University of Ida
ho has awakened much interest and
friends are doing everything in their
power to locate him. The fact that
he has never been reported as killed,
wounded or missing" only adds to the
mystery of the strange case. -
Judge w. F. Morgareidge, postmas-
ter of Moscow, speaks in the highest
terms Of the missing man, who, with
his wife, nee Mary Henley, was in the
seventh grade when Judge Morgan
edge was teaching school here. The
school mates grew up together aud

FOREST SERVICE
HELPS THE WEST
ID E p A r MENT HAS ISSUED
HANDSOME BOOK TELLING
WHAT 1T HAS DONE

WASHINGTON.-That the various
activities on the national forests are
handled in such a way as to insure
the fullest possible protection and
utilization of the water supply as
well as of the timber, forage, and
other resources, is the statement
made in a recent publication of the
forest service, department of agricul-
ture-"What the National Forests
Mean to the Water User" Water,
by the irrigation process, is shown
to be an essential factor in the de-
velopment of the west. By this
means, it is pointed out, the semi
arid areas of the west could be trans
as profitably, perhaps, as the 13,000,-
600 acres already under irrigation,
and representing in crops produced
an annual value of $24r000,000. Some
idea of the enormous extent of water
poker within the national forests may
be gained from the statement that it
represents 81 per cent of the water
power resources of the entire coun-
try. Moreover, a large port of the
remaining power, although developed
outside of the forests, is derived from
streams rising in them.
The publication, profusely illustrat-
eu WIN contrast pictures, deals with
various phases of water use in this
immense territory, including grazing,
farming, timber cutting and planting
hydroelectric and other power, do
mestic water supply, navigation, for
est cover and fire protection-all of
which is summed up in the foreword
as 'Service-service that is none the
ess real because it is not always OBJ
7ious and because its exact value can
not always be expressed in dollars
and cents"
What Forests Mean to Water Users.
The western mountains contain
more than 72 per cent of the poten-
lal water power of the United States.
Approximately 100000 sheep use
he national forest range each year
Some 732 western towns and cities,
With an aggregate population of
',265, 700, depend on the national for
'sts for their domestic water supply.
About 10,000,000 forest-tree seed
lngs and transplants are grown by
he forest service each year for use

"But the day from Pendleton to
Boise slipped by-not only for me but
for that variegated little bunch in the
smoking compartment-the returning
soldier who started in to make OBJ
servations upon the rise and course
of the war, the silent lad from Nez
Perce whose chief discourse was a
broad and beaming smile, the travel
ing man who saw only the high price
of clothing and food, the halfway
red who slouched as he talked about
the great inequalities of life-all fin
ally deferring to the long thin gentle
man who knew so much more about
the war than did the soldier, about
the farm than did the farmer boy,
about economics than did the travel
ing man, about socialism than did the
red about journalism than did I.

life's philosophers, DR.. Lindley told

he showed the red the fallacies of
socialism, reduced to terms of alb
surdity. He taught his little class,

Idaho and across and re-across the
Snake, not obtrusiYely, not even with
their knowledge, but effectively and
with the realization on their part
that mind had gone their way and
that they had been privileged for a
