RAILROAD STRIKE
GROWING SERIOUS
SHOPMEN AT SPOKANE AND
LEWISTON QUIT WORK To-
DAY-ROADS CRIPPLED

The railroad strike situation is be.
coming serious While trainmen have
not struck and are not expected to
strike the strike of the shopmen is
crippling the roads for when car or
engine gets out of repair there is no
one to repair it and it is only a
question of time until good part of
the equipment will be out of order.
Railroads in many places are refus-
ing to receive perishable freight.
Spokane Shopmen Out.
SPOKANE.-Three hundred and
seventy shopmen of the Northern Pa
cific; 80 of the Oregon-Washingto
Railroad & Navigation Company; and
about 100 each at the Milwaukee
shops at Othello, and Maiden, Wash,
and Spirit Lake, Idaho struck today.
1t is reported the shopmen at
Lewiston quit work at 10 o'clock to-
day. There are not many men en-
ployed in the Lewiston shops but they
have charge of repair work on the
roads leading in all directions from
Lewiston and it is feared their strike
may effect fruit shipments.

MOSCOW TELEPHONE
BUSINESS DAMAGED
CLAIM THAT BUSINESS is HURT
$40 PER DAY BY ACTION OF
HOME COMPANY

SPOKANE Charging that it's
business is damaged to the extent OF
$40 day by the tearing out iby the
Home Telephone and Telegraph com
pany of the copper circuit wires be-
tween Spokane and Mt Hope, and
that the removal Of this connection is
in direct violation of contract en-
tered into by the Home Telephone and
Telegraph company with j. ST. Fisher
in 1915, the Moscow Telephone and
Telegraph company filed suit in the
superior court Monday asking an in
junction to stop the work of tearing
out the Mt. Hope wire, and request
ing an order forcing the Spokane
companies to fulfil their contract.
The complaint alleges that the re-
moval of the circuit wires between
here and Mr.. Hope destroys the long
distance conections established by
agreement between the Moscow con-
Germ and the Spokane lines. To put
in new wires would cost, the motion
states, more than $1,00O,000.
Injunction Already Out
The district federal court recently
issued an injunction restraining the
two Spokane companies from tearing
out the Mt. Hope circuit pending the
result of the action started by the
Moscow company. Because of the
fact that the two companies are cit
liens of different states, the COM
plant alleges, this injunction is to
be dismissed today.
The complaint, therefore, asks the
superior court to issue another in
junction and to force the defendants
to live up to the terms of contract
filed with the complaint.

GOT S1OO PER ACRE
FOR CROP OF BARLEY

NEZPERCE-Th record crop
yield of the year is reported by Chas.
Coon, of Central Ridge, who a few
days ago sold at Peck his barley crop
from los acres, the returns being in
excess of 500 per acre.
The crop was winter barley and
was threshed last week and from the
los acres a total of $500 sacks were
secured or approximately so bushels
to the acre. The crop was delivered
at peck and was sold for $500 per
hundred.
Mr.. Coon reports there are a good
many good crops of winter barley on
Central ridge and it seems all crops
in that section will return better
yields than the prairie section.

the Burke and Nine-Mile canyons was
also pretty well sudbued by the rain,

PACIFIC FLEETS
ENv|ABLE RECORD
FLEET NOW in PACIFIC OCEAN
HAD IMPORTANT PART IN WIN
MING THE WAR

SAN FRANCISCO.-Fighting mer
and fighting ships make up the new
i Pacific fleet which left Hampton
Roads, Virginia, July 19 for it's new
home in the western ocean.
Just year ago these ships were
engaged in the most hazardous oc-
cupations of the war. Official records
show the great part they played.
During July and August year ago,
according to the report of Secretary
Daniels, these ships aided in escorting
3,444,O12 tons of shipping to and from
France that was all escorted by Am
erican vessels. OF the tonnage into
French ports only 16,98S tons were
lost through enemy action or 0.009
per cent From French ports only IT,
858 tons were lost or 0.013 per cent.
During July and August, 1918, Am
erican vessels escorted transports
which bore 259,604 troops to France.
United States destroyers based on
British ports in the same two months
supplied rs per cent of the escort for
318 ships, totalling 2,752,908 tons. The
destroyers were on duty at sea two
thirds of the time in all kinds Of
weather and were under way $4,000
hours, steaming approximately ESQ.,
900 miles.
The American force based on Gibral-
gunboats, or cruisers,
yachts and coast guard cutter during
July and August we're at sea Sc per
cent of the total time. They were un-
der way 1880 hours and steamed
16O, 900 miles.
The big battleships were with the
British Grand fleet holding the Ger
man navy trapped. Mining units
were active on their task which be-
cause of it's danger was termed sui |
cidal," submarine chasers and destroy
ers were out scurrying the dangerous
waters hunting submarines, mine
sweepers had their hands full and sal
wage vessels and crews worked in
constant danger of German raiders.

BIG CIRCUS HERE AND
PLEASEs THE CROWD
THRILLING ACTS ARE ALL THAT
HAD BEEN ADVERTISED AND
PARADE WAS HUMMER

The Hagenbeck- Wallace cirucs is !,
Moscow. The boys, young and old
were up early to see it come in. fo1
that's part of circus entertainment
with great many people,; WATCHING
the animals unload is sometime
which always draws a crowd. anc
Moscow is no exception to the rule
Despite the fact that this is one OF
the largest shows the world has ever
seen, the immense tented city was uI
and ready for business in a surpris-
ingly short time-it's all the result
of system and that word is the
keynote with the Hagenbeck- Wallace
aggregation. With clock-like precis-
ion and regularity the big show left
its trains by the time the average
citizen had finished breakfast. The
first train was nearly unloaded be-
fore the next one arrived.
And the parade Everybody saw
it, so there is little need of attempt
ing a detailed description. Long lines
of armored knights and beautifully
garbed ladies', brilliantly caparisoned
horses, elephants, camels, lions, tig-
ers, pumas, hyenas, zebras, the hip
potamus, the rhinocerous, polar bears
every kind of animal from every
section of the globe; numerous bands,
among them clown band that Is
actually funny. Speaking of clowns,
this show carries fifty-five of them,
each one a star. The many closed
wagons and cages gave some idea
of the magnitude Of the menagerie,
which is seen free of charge by all
who hold tickets of admission to the
main show.
The show itself, which began at 2
o'clock this afternoon, was a revala-
ton, even to those who were aware
of the fact that the Hagenbeck Wal
lace circus represents the last word
in amusements. There are 200 diff
ferent acts, so there is neither time
nor space to give an adequate resume
of the whole Mention Of few thrill
lers" will convey some idea OF what
it is like.
There was the lion act. If there
ever was place you would ike to
stay away from, it's the inside OF
that big steel cage IN which the tram

ugly temper, too-one OF them, par
ticularly. It's the old story OF brains
over Drawn, and brains win.
Everywhere, all under the big tent

SPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Managers of the various clubs of the Pacific Coast Baseball League now are en gagged in their annual hunt for talent to make up their playing compile ments for the season. Practically every team in the league is on the lookout for new material of some kind to fill up gaps either in the out field, infield, or battery positions.
 At the present time Oakland seems to have as concrete a lineup as ap- pears on any of the rosters in the making. While it is not unlikely that many changes may occur be tween now and the opening date, Del Howard, the Oak manager has the following tentative lineup of the players available:
 Pitchers-Prough, Krause, Kremer, Artlett.
 Catchers-Mitze and Murray.
 First base-Gardner.
 Second base-Christens
 Third base-Murphy.
 Shortstop-Stumpf
 Outfield-Middleton Miller, Lane, Hawks, Smale, Lebourveau
 This, according to critics of the game, is a fairly strong combination with the exception of the pitchers department in connection with which it is declared Howard will have to get another man or two of experience
 Los Angeles, which stood second to Vernon last season at the time this, schedule was called off on ac count of the war, is credited with having a preseason lineup which will be fully as formidable as the 1918 aggregation which won the post season series from Vernon for the Coast championship. It will be re membered that the season was brought to close last year at the conclusion of the games of July fl owing to the lack of attendance and interest due to the great war.
 In this connection the standings of the teams at that time are given:

E, M. STANTON GIVES HIS LIFE
 FOR COUNTRY
Well Known Attorney of the Iditarod and Interior Was Killed in France
 with U. s. Forces.

Word comes from the Interior to the effect that Edwin M. Stanton, an attorney of Iditarod, and well known throughout that section of Alaska, was killed while fighting with the American forces in France, his name appearing in a recent cas- ualty list.
 Shortly after the declaration of war MT. stanton left Iditarod for the purpose of joining the army, and enlisted as a private with a Pennsylvania regiment in order to be assured of getting into active service immediately. He was short iy afterward promoted to be ser geant.
 The death of F. M. Stanton will cause sorrow to his many friends in the Interior and elsewhere. He was a grandson and namesake of Lin coln's famous war secretary, and al though born and reared in an at mosphere of affuence and refine ment, he loved Nhe life and crude surroundings of the North. Well educated and lawyer of ability, he yet loved to mingle with the miners and "roughnecks' of the Interior camps. among whom he had hun dreds of friends and admirers.
 Mir. Stanton came to Alaska ir 1910 as a lieutenant in the regu- liar army. and was stationed at Ft Seward. He had enlisted as pri. yate and had seen service in tho Philippines, where he rose from

the ranks to commission. The life at Fort Seward was unsuited to his rowing spirit, and he resigned and went to Fairbanks Judge Ov- erfield, then on the bench of the Fourth Division, appointed him United States Commissioner at Idit- arod, and he went to that lively camp in 1911. He occupied the position for about year, and then took up the practice of his profes- sion. He was attorney for the Yukon Gold Company and several other large interests. and was as- sociated as counsel in important cases.
 Stanton's mother and sister were travelling in Germany when tho war broke out. Mrs Stanton was i'll, and her physician was drafted in the German army. She suc- cumbed to her illness, and MT. Stanton was very bitter against the Germans, attributing the death of his mother to their neglect.
 He was intensely patriotic. and when the United States declared war he wired an offer of his services to the War Department. Not being placed by the officials. he made haste to get into the struggle as a private.
