Sergt. e. A. Boyd, a British airman,
who was captured, was sentenced by
them to a years Imprisonment. He
has now returned to England.
With a lieutenant, Boyd was patrol
ling off the Belgian coast in a sea-
plane. They were shot down by en-
envy destroyers, and while Boyd was
in the water he wrote this message:
"Shot down at 6:42 p. m. Being picked
up by Huns" The pigeon to which he
intrusted the message was unable to
fly and fell into the hands of the Ger
mans. The two airmen were taken
to Bruges, where they were sent for
by Admiral Won Schroeder.
"He was frightfully angry over my
message" Boyd relates, land began
to swear in broken English. The only

The moneys that will accrue from the
two mill levy was budgeted by the
commission, anil inasmuch as the
principal work of construction is TO
be the north and south highway, the
larger portion of this money will be
spent north of the Sammon river in
northern Idaho. The budget provid-
ed for fifty-five thousand dollars for
Latah county. This amount for La
tab county will be increased by the
federal funds, and also county and
good highway bond and tax moneys
Mr.. Hodgins states that it is the
belief of all that Governor Daviswill
sign the two mill tax levy bill without
change. From his conversation with
the governor he has found him very
much in earnest and DESTROYS of car
rying out a liberal constructive bust
ness policy for the state; that the
governor is making a deep and earn
est endeavor to give the people a sue
cessful administration, and he be-
lieves that the governor will be sue
cessful, irrespective of the fact that
he is burdened with the handicap of
being of the republican faith.

ed that the legislature and the adj
ministration had put through some
very great changes in the form of
our state government, that time
would be required to determine the
~desirability of some of this legisla-
ton. On the whole the legislature
was a hard working bunch, and little
time was wasted in the partisan po-
litical quarrel. On every hand he
heard compliments for the Latah
delegation, consisting of Senator Por-
ter, Representative Hugo, Anderson
and Garfield, that they were recog-
nized as hard conscientious workers.
They we're impartial and were inter
ested in providing legislature looking
to the best interest of the state as a
whole, and were in no way influenced
by party or sectional politics, and
that any bill that was worthy re-
ceived their hearty support. Their
impartial attitude had won for them
the respect and friendship of all the
members of the legislature and state
administration. He stated, that prac-
tically every bill looking to the in
terest Of the university was passed,
and that the appropriation bill was
put through without a single cut.
There was some endeavor to decrease
the university general appropriation
on the part of some members in the
senate, but by the firm stand taken
by our delegation and with the as
s~istance of the governor who was
deeply interested in all educational
legislation, the bill was put through
as recommended by the state board of
education.

variousparts of the state; that the
bill providing for a two mill levy, as
recommended and urged by the High
way Commission, was past by the leg
islature and is now before Governor
Davis for his signature; that this bill
will provide about two mi4on dollars
during the next biennum for road
construction, and that Idaho will also
receive during the said bienum a mil
lion and a half dollars from the fede-
raj government, making a total of APP
proximately four million dollars OF
federal and state moneys, which will

vor of a very liberal policy in furt-
herring the construction of good roads.

PLANNING
RAILROAD TO YUKON
GREATEST RAILROAD SCHEME OF
MODERN TIMES NOW UNDER
CONSIDERATION

DAWSON, Y. T.-The project for
construction of a railway to connect
the Yukon with a transcontinental
line of Canada, recently laid before
the Yukon Development League, has
attracted wide notice and favorable
comment in Yukon Territory.
The proposed line sought would feed
Atlin, White Horse and Dawson, and
in connection with the Yukon river
and Alaskan railways, would form
part of. the northern net that could
deliver food, freight and troops to
every northern point. Its extension
across Boring straits to a connection
with the Siberian line, often suggested
in the past, is also regarded as feast
BILE. The building of these last links
in the communication system of the
northern zone, it is believed, would
give Alaska and the Yukon an impetus
of development such as no other pro-
ject could bring.
Arguments, from other aspects are
advanced by those favoring the pro-
ject and backing the movement to
bring action by the Dominion. These
include a large possible development
of the placer fields, the vast copper
fields of White river, White Horse
and the belt between, the newly be-
gun hard-rock properties of the Atlin
district, the Mayo silver region and
coal districts.
No estimates of cost for the Yukon
railroad have been made, but it is
known that those interested, which
includes the entire territory, figure
he probable cost in millions of dol

OIL PRODUCTION IN
 MEXICO GROWS FAST
Table Furnished by Department Of Commerce and Industry

Mexico City Nov. 2E--A stupen- dous array of figures greets he inyes- tigator who attempts to ascertain how much oil has been conveyed from Mexico during the past few years and what the profits are to those who have ventured to sink fortunes in an effort to tap the petroleum deposits that are known to underlie certain portions or the republic.
 A statement recently furnished to the Associated Press by the depart ment of commerce and industry graphically portraNs the growth Of this industry which now, as during the war, when it's wells furnished much of the motive power that took troops and supplies to France and victory, occu- pies such a prominent place in the re- lations between Mexico and the United States.
 From 1901 to 1918, inclusive, the production of. crude petroleum in the republic amounted to 2S5,91O,79S bar rels, every year showing a consistent gain over that previous. In 1901 only 1o,345 barrels were produced. In 1914 production reached 26.235 4O3 barrels, and in 1918 63,S2S, 326 barrels
 During the year of 1918 out of 63,- S2S,326 barrels of petroleum produced two companies (El Agllila and Huas- teca) produced 37,107104 according to the statements figures
 Export data indicates that Tampico leads all ports, in 1918 more than B. 271, 1,O12 tons of petroleum having left that harbor. Approximately half that amount left via Tuxpan rAss sss@'',a'.-~a' sr.'0
