Wheat Scarcity Causes
- Big Jump in Corn Price

Chicago, April Corn made an
extraordinary jump in price today,
amounting in some cases to e
cents a bushel. Official statement
that wheat scarcity was SO acute
that wheat and -four exports from
the United States had been stopped
was chiefly responsible. Victory for
the liquor interests in the Chicago
municipal was also an important fac
tor. The steepest advance wal in
corn for September delivery, rise
TO $685. as against $l.32H at the
finish on Monday.
Traders took the view that corn
products for export would be much
more in demand in place of wheat and
-four. 1t was a popular opinion also
that rye and barley would be largely
bought on the chance that the result
of the Chicago election would be
interpreted as referendum on pro-
hibition and that with peace treaty
signed before July | prohibition
would not be permitted to take
effect.

PUBLIC MIXED
OF $16,o00,00O,
SAYS MACKAY
Head of Postal Declares There
Will Be No Rate Increase
II BurIeson Returns
System to Owners.

New York, April 2.-(Special Tel
egram. )-Clarence H. Mackay, pres
ident Of the Postal Telegraph Cable
company, asked regarding the in
crease in the telegraph rates which
went into effect today by order of
Postmaster General Burleson, said
that if the postmaster general would
return its lines to the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company at once
that company would restore the old
telegraph rates at once. Mr.. Mac
kay's interview is as follows:
1.-THE total telegraph business OF
the country is approximately $780,
100000. The 20 per cent increase
ordered BY Mr.. Burleson means an
increase Of $l6,000,00O to the tele-
graph users. That it is absolutely
unnecessary to increase telegraph
rates is shown by the fact that the
representatives of the postmaster
general now find we have been able
to hold up our earnings and profits
to expectations, and those earnings
and profits for the year commenc-
ing July 81, 1918, (the date when the
government claims to have taken
controD will be more than twice
the compensation which Mr.. Burle-
son has given our company. Dur
ing the six months, ending January
81. we have earned more than the
compensation awarded to us by
Postmaster Generak Burleson for a
whole year.
Would Not Raise Rates.
"1f we had been allowed to keep
our property and operate it, we
would not have thought of raising
the rates, and there would not have
been the slightest occasion for rails
ing the rates. The. real fact is that
Mr.. Burleson has agreed to pay the
Western Union more than he should
have agreed to, and in order to real
ize that amount he has to raise the
rates. A second reason is that the
Western Union Telegraph Co. is
rot administered carefully and
economically.

Talk Of Reparation Is

the premiers of France, Great Bril-
tain and Italy, when the session OF
the council was resumed today, 1t
is understood to be probable that at
least three more days will be occu-
pied with these subjects.
American financial experts were
called into the session today.

is supposed to be in control of both
companies, the Western Union has
a horde of solicitors running around
trying to get business away from the
Postal. These solicitors do not Gre
ate telegraph business and are as
useless as would be solicitors for
street railway company.
No Justification for Raise
"The receipts and expenditures OF
the Postal system as administered
by Our own staff, even si.ice the
government assumed to take control
August |, 1918, show there has been
no such material change as to re-
quire, or even justify, an increase in
rates. The receipts and expendi-
lures of the Western Union, how
ever, as we gather from their re-
ports, tell different story; and that
is why | say | believe the trouble is
due first, to the fact that Mr.. Burle-
son agreed to pay them too. much
compensation carefully and econom-
ically.
What Mr.. Burleson intends to do
with the profits which he is taking
away from us we do not know; that
if we had been left alone there would
have been no increase in rates and
no loss of profits to us.
"As it is now, the Western Union
is ahead of the game, but the public
loses $l6,000,000 a year and we lose
about 100000 under Mr.. Burle
sons award to us. Our profits from
August |, 1918, to August |, 1919,
will apparently be at least $3,680,0O0,
without any increased rates, and yet
Mr.. ,Burleson proposes to allow us
only ST 100000 of the amount.
I'm other words, Mr.. Burleson
gives us $l,680,000 and keeps $4,000
600 of our profits, and also keeps all
of these increased rates which our
property may earn.
This is what | call a raw deal
If Mr.. Burleson will return our lines
to us at once we will carry on the
telegraph business at the old rates
at once. This certainly is a fair
proposition and should appeal to the
American public, who are paying the
increased telegraph rates"

MANY CHANGES IN
STATE BOUNTY LAW
IDAHO WILL CEASE TO PAY
BOUNTY ON BEARS KILLED
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

One Of the numerous reform meas
ures enacted by the recent legisla-
ture apllies to the payment of bounty
claims which the law allows for the
destruction of predatory animals.
Heretofore, these claims have been
made before any officer authorized
to acknowledge legal papers and who,
in the capacity of a ''defooter, .
would remove the feet of the pelt,
which, together with the claim, would
be transmitted to the office of the
state veterinarian. 1t has been the
general belief in many cases at least,
that these feet have found their way
to the capital after the claimant had
already collected a scalp bounty in
adjoining states.
The new law, which goes into eff
feet May the 7th, 1919, requires proof
of all claims under this law to be
made before the sheriff or his dep
uty in the county in which the ami
mails have been killed. The practice
of bringing in pelts from other states,
if such has been the case, is made
felony under the new law.
Inasmuch as the practice of de-
footing pelt depreciates the value of
the same in the fur markets of the
country, the sheriffs of the state will
tice and instead mark the pelt by cut
ting slit on the top of the scalp
the 4entire distance between the ears.
This manner of marking the pelts
will be in harmony with other states
and will have no effect on the value
Of the furs when they are transmit
ted, to market. The department of
agriculture is now preparing to send
out blank forms to the several coun-
ties throughout the state covering
these claims and all claimants should
transmit same, when certified by the
sheriff or his deputy, direct to this
in the city of Boise.
1t will be observed that the new
law omits the bounty on bear. This
was occasioned by the fact that Idaho
was the only state in the northwest
paying bounty on this animal and
these claims alone were running in
excess of thousand dollars per
month. Many of the legislators were
Of the opinion that we were paying
bounty on all the bears killed between
Canada and Mexico.

OKANOGAN INDIANS
TO INSTALL CHIEF
SUSZEN TIMENTWA, ENGLISH
SPEAKING MEMBER OF TRIBE
TO BE HONORED

OKANOGAN, Wash.-Full recogni-
>tion of the new chief of the Okanogan
Indian tribe will be given G. B. SUI
en- Timentwa descendant of chiefs,
with the full ceremonies of the tribe
tomorrow Timentwa recently unan-
imously was chosen chief at meet
ing of tribesmen.
According to William Edwards, a
we'll educated young Indian, who is
a nephew of Timentwa, the latter's
great grandfather was Sulk-talthsco-
sum, chief of the section now known
as the Colville reservation. His great
grandmother was the daughter of a
chief of the Okanogans. Sulk-talth-
Scosum ruled the territory as far
south as the Yakima country.
According to Indian history, it was
largely due to Timentwa's great
grandmother that the Okanogan tribe
had no trouble with the white people
who were settling this section during
her time Timentwa was born after
the Indians had been placed upon the
reservation. His birthplace is on Omak
creek, two miles from the present site
of Omak, Wash. In his youth the
new chief was known as one of the
swiftest runners of his tribe, it's best
wrestler, a fine hunter and a rider
unexcelled.
Suszen Timentwa never attended
school but he is able intelligently
to read and write English. He has
been working for several years on
Indian problems, and attained an en-
viable standing among his triblesmen.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT
TO Be STARTED SOON
MOSCOW DISTRICT HIGHWAY
COMMISSIONERS PLANNING
FOR EARLY ACTION

Work is to be started on the high
ways of Moscow district just as soon
as possible. The state highway COM
mission has been asked by the COM
missioners to make their selection OF
state highways in Latah county as
soon as possible When this is done
the commissioners will select the
roads to be improved, order surveys
and take the necessary steps to get
work started
"A mistaken idea, which cost the
bond issue many votes of responsible
and well. meaning citizens, was that
the money raised by the bonds was
to be used to build the state highway.
This is far from the truth. The mon
ey raised by the sale of these bonds
cannot be used for any other purpose
than for building and improving roads
within the boundaries of the district.
eff we do any work on road and 1t
is taken by the state as state high
way we would lose the work and MON
ey expended on that road" said G. P.
Mix, one of the commissioners of this
district. The state highways are to
be built and maintained by state and
federal funds. The state funds are
raised by a two-mi1l tax, which is
expected to raise $1,800,000 per an
num- This money cannot be used to
build local roads nor can the money
raised by bonding in local districts
be used for the state highways.
AS it is known that the road lead
ing northeast of town to the Moscow
mountain district will not be used as
part of the state highway it is under
stood that it has been definitely decfd-
ed to start work on this road among
the very first and have it ready for
the heavy summer travel that is ex-
pected over it and for the hauling of
grain from that fertile section be-
tween here and the mountain.

CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN
HAVE CEASED THEIR WARS

HELENA Mont.-Without especial
fanfare, one of the longest and most
enduring wars in the annals of the
west has closed When few days
ago, the wool growers of Montana, in
convention at Miles City, voted to join
in body, the stockmen's association,
also meeting in that city, the hatchet
was buried between two industries
whose interests have been considered
Numerically opposed for decades and
whose differences on not few occas-
ions, have famed forth into miniature
civil war.
1t was the range the sheepman and
the cattleman fought over, and the
range is almost gone. Henceforth,
cattle and sheep will be largely raised
in enclosures and there is no longer
real animus between the two pioneer
lines of endeavor, it is declared.
The first sign of the truce came in
the last Montana legislature when
sheepmen and cattlemen, for the first
time, worked side by side for agricul-
tural legislation.

Err IN CALIFORNIA BUT ARE
GLAD TO GET HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Butterfield re-

fornia where they spent three months
at Los Angeles, Pasadena and other
points. Southern California is
crowded with tourists from the east
and from almost every section until
it is difficult to get hotel accommo-
dations,' said Mr.. Butterfield. ''That
country certainly looks beautiful now.
The entire country is in bloom. There
are thousands of varieties of bloom
ing plants, trees and shrubs and ev-
cry one vies with his neighbor in try
ing to have prettier home or yard
or orchard"
Mr.. and Mrs. Butterfield met many
people from Idaho and Washington
who go south to spend the winter in
the warmer climate. He says that
country has not the natural advant-
ages of northern Idaho, the soil here
being far superior to that OF, any
section they visited while gone, but
the people in those warmer climates
where there are fewer natural ad-
vantages, aside from climate, take
more pride in improving their lands
and their homes while "here we let
nature do most of the work and are
content with the results"
Mr.. Butterfleld looks we'll and says
he enjoyed the rest from business.
He reports crop conditions along the
road through Washington and north
ern Idaho, are good and he looks for
a prosperous season in the Inland
Empire this year.
Mr.. Butterfield is pioneer and one
of the best known business men of
Moscow, where he has been in the
business for quarter of
a century.
