BOLSHENST AXES
KILL US. WOUNDED
Americans Now Fighting
Mad in Desperate Strug-
gle Around Kadish.
BATTLE IN DEEP SNOW

lean troops, fighting desperately near
Kadish, have driven back bolshevik
The bolshevists also launched attacks
on the Omega sector and bombarded
the allied front The Americans came
into battle along the Petrograd road
and in the frozen swamps that border
it The battle was fought in snew
from two to four feet in depth.
American forces captured Kadish
last Monday after display of gall
lantry that evoked the admiration of
the allied commanders Special care
has been taken OF the American
wounded and the body of an American
officer was taken back 100 miles by
sledge and then shipped to Archangel
for burial. There were some casualties
on Monday, but they were small in
comparison to those inflicted upon the
enemy.
Terrific Bolshevist Fire.
On Tuesday, the bolshevists opened
a terrific fire from three and six-inch
guns and launched a counter attack
against the buildings held by Ameri-
cans in kadish. So hot was the ar
tiIlery fire that the Americans were
withdrawn temporarily from the viii
lage. The line, however, was not
taken back very far and the new po-
sitions were firmly held.
Later, under the protection of ar
tillery fire, American detachments

came from headquarters that the
American positions are now 400 me-

line marking the farthest advance

without apparently losing man. On
the Vologda railway the bolshevists
have for the past three days kept up
strong artillery fire and have
brought an armored train into action.
Allies on Snowshoes.
In this sector allied forces advanced
on snowshoes over soft snow a few
days ago. Beneath the snow was an
unfrozen swamp and the men often
sank into the mud to their waists, in
spite of their arctic footgear. The
battle with the elements makes the
lighting here very difficult.
Further evidence that the bolshe-
visits are mutilating allied wounded
and dead came to headquarters today
in a report from Lieut. Col. Corberly,
who was in command of American
forces In the vicinity of Shenkursk on

surprised early on September 20 by a
force of about 700 bolshevists. Seven
Americans were killed and seven 9TH

In the meantime, the bolshevists are
carrying on propaganda endeavoring
to prove they treat prisoners kindly.
Late this week an enemy patrol in
the vicinity Of Kadish shouted across
no mans land that they had prison
ers to exchange. American officers
went forward to investigate and at a
safe distance from the American
troops the bolshevists produced two
men, one an American and the other
q Scotchman. Instead of Offering them
for exchange, they said they would
"fatten and treat kindly" any other
Americans or Scots who Joined them.
Then they whisked the two prisoners
back into the woods.
The discovery of mutilated bodies
at Shenkursk has brought a new
spirit to the Americans, who are now
fighting mad.
Today the fighting about Kadish
apparently had ceased except for
sspasmodic artillery action. The head
quarters report said: THE situation
is unchanged in all sectors"

The high line commencing
with last Sunday evening has
been running a double header on
its road between Grangeville and
Reubens. Snow, which has fallen
during the week, and accompan-
led by a wind has been filling
up cuts at different points between
Reubens and Grangeville but the
railroad officials have managed to
keep the road open so far with
very little difficulty, the trains
having been running almost on
schedule time except one or two
evenings when they were late
from 40 minutes to hour.
The company has experienced
most of its difficulty between

Under the 1917 act this exemp-
ton was allowed only for each
dependent child. The head of a
family, one who supports one or
more persons closely connected
with him by blood relationship,
relationship by marriage, or by
adoption, is entitled to all ex-
emptions allowed a married per-
son.
The normal rate of tax under
the new act is 6 per cent of the
first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and IL per cent
of the net income in excess of
$4,000. Incomes in excess of
$4,000 are subject also to a surtax
ranging from l per cent of the
amount of the net income be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to 65 per
cent of the net income above
$1,00O,0OO.
Payment of the tax may be

aid taxpayers in making out their
returns. The date of their arriv-
al and the location of their offices
may be ascertaihed by inquiring
at the Offices of collectors of in

banks.
Failure to see these off GERS,
however, does not relieve the tax
payer of his obligation to file his
return and pay his tax within the,
time specified by law. In this
case taxpayers must seek the gov
ernment, not the government

Dye Arrived Home Last Friday

Sergeant Vern Dye, who has
been in foreign service for over a
year arrived home last Friday
evening. He received his dis
charge at Camp Funston and
came west with Sergeant Don G..
Fisher. He was met at the local
station by delegation of the
commercial club and by scores of
friends. Vern received a special
training in gas and this training
took him to many of the battle
fronts in Europe.
Sergeant Dye was sent to the
British gas school shortly after his
arrival in France and after three
months training was sent to the
front when the Germans were
making their big spring drive.
Later he was sent to the Toul Sec
tor and was transferred to the
Chateau Thierry front in June.
He was later on the St. Mihiel
front and was with. the Argonne
forest forces when the armistice
was signed. His special duty was
to secure unexploded shells, gas
masks and other new war material

Shipped in Carload Lots

The Hoene Hardware Co. last
week received a carload of Lau-
son tractors and also a carload
of Buick Haas, 5-passenger cars.
The Lauson tractor, considered
by many farmers, one of the best
make for Camas Prairie ranchers,
received in this shipment have all
practically been sold. The Hoene
people have the agency for this
tractor in Idaho county and also
for the greater part of north
Idaho.
The carload of Bucks received
consists the first shipment and
will be followed by a carload each
month. Mr.. Hoene stated that
he expects a very heavy demand
for automobiles this year and
does not expect to be able to fill
the demand for this favorite car
as they have many prospective
buyers in view and when the
auto season is at its height does
not expect that the factory will be
able to fill their demand. Thirty
eight cars of this make were sold
by this concern last year in Idaho
county, for which they have the
exclusive agency.
