.zUYDER ZEE 10
 BE DRAINED BY !. THRIFTY DUTCH

i Holland has decided to drain the Zuyder Zee, and in the next thirty years four score of Dutch villages will be built upon what is now the bottom of the ocean, according to Hendrik Willem Van Loon, a Dutch scholar and historian who was edu- cated in America. and who writes of the gigantic reclamation project In the September number of The Cen tury. The work will require thirty years, but at the end of that time, Holland is assured of 4OO,0OO acres Of the richest kind of new agricultural land.
 ''The zuyder Zee has been a good little sea as such salty phenomena go. At times 1t has drowned a number of villages and their inhabitants and has killed thousands of cows and sheep without a ripple of excite ment. Moro often it has put thick coat of ice to give a whole nation a cheerful skating holiday. After a very prolonged and extremely careful in- vestigntion the Netherlands Parlia- rnent passed a law authorizing the draining of this useless stretch of water. As fishermen they could no longer make a living; as farmers they havo a great future before them.
 "The inhnbitant of the dry land has now a new and powerful ally in tho modern electric pump. This handy contrivance which can be placed upon any dike, within a very few days can handle moro than one thousand cubic feet of water per minute. The old windmill which kept Holland dry for the last six centuries never could lift more than ten cubic feet during the same period of time. The picturesque mill will soon be ready for the mu- scum of mechanical curiosities. This is very sad for the amateur painter of wnter-colors. but very agreeable for tho farmer, who will be less ex- posed to sudden inundation.
 Provided with his new motors. the engineer will first of all build a gi- gantic dike that will connect the eastern part of the province of Hol- land with the western coast of Fries land. Leaving the Dutch coast, thi, dam will run straight to Wieringen. the island of recent. if doubtful, fame. Past the temporary abode of the for mer crown prince 1t will then stretch out toward the opposite shore until the coast of TriesIand is reached. This dika will be 4S kilonleters long. and 1t will cost about a million guilders per kilometer.
 After 33 years of constant work, if all goes well, more than 100000 acres of fertile clay will have been annexed. and a new rural population will be occupying fourscoTe villages built upon the bottom of the ocean. A new population. living from six to ten feet below the surface of the ocean. will be engaged in agricultural pursuits. The fishermen of Edan and Monnik endnm and Narken and wier- fngen and Urizwiil will have moved to fsnew and greatly superior habitat. and the next world war will find Ho1- land a self-supportinz unit"

STURGEON IS ON EXHIBITION
 IS WORTH S75

What is probably the largest fish caught around these parts is repos- ing in the window of w. D. Cook & Sons, wholesale and retail fish deal CTS, 62 Water street. This giant member of the fnny tribe was land- ed Saturday after a long struggle in the briny waters of the Housatonic river by three young men, Edward and Fred Bramann and O. K. Walter who attacked the fish with an oar and eventually succeeded in killing it.
 The fish. local dealers, say. will re- tail for 90 cents a pound, or whole sale 75 cents a pound. In addition, being a female, the fish carries a sec ond source of revenue in its spawn from which is made caviar, or, as the Jewish dealers call it, kever, which they say will retail at s10 a pound. This is the first sturgeon captured in local waters in twenty years, accord ing to one fish merchant. It was ta- ken to the market of W. D. Cook in Water street. All told, it is ex- pected to net the fishermen in the neighborhood of s75 unless figures dc considerable lying.

WAS
 SURRENDERED BY
 TANK PHOTO RYAN

New Wilmington, Pa, Aug. 26.- The city of Jerusalem was really sur rendered to the British by a Yankee photographer, acting for the Arab mayor, according to an account of the affair told by Captain Wendell Gle land who recently returned from Egypt where he had served as a Red Cross worker.
 After weeks of bombardment, Cap tain Cleland said, the Turks had de- cided to surrender. The Mayor hitch ed a sorry looking team of donkeys to a carriage, raised the white flag and started out of the city gates to find the British. On the way he en- countered the American photographic: and asked him to ride with him. F. lowed by many of the citys peol- the procession continued until two British soldiers halted them, where upon the American informed the '"Tommies'' that he had the honor of surrendering the keys of the city to the British generals camp.
 The nearest British general rode into the city and posted a notice that 1t was under the protection of the British government. Two days later General Allenby rode triumphantIy into Jerusalem and the news of tho surrender was given to the world.

BATTALION OF SERBS CONTINUE
 TO "CARRY ON"

Medvejia Cora, Russian Lapland. Aug. 26. - (Correspondence of The Associated Press. "A Siberian bat talon which has been fighting under one flag, or another since August. 1914, still is fighting. up here in Ka- relian Russia.
 The role of these Serbs on the North Russian front has been similar to that of the Czecho-Slovaks in ST. beria and reads like an unfinished Had. They are big, strapping, well disciplined soldiers, five years and several thousand miles from home, and, just now, when they go in ac- ton againSs the Bolshsviki, along with their Russian, British. French or until recently, American Allies they display the same dash and battle enthusiasm that characterized the Serbs in the early days of the war.
 One way or another. these Serbs reached Odessa, where they were formed into a battalion for service against the Central Powers. They wanted Go got somewhere to fight Austria so they started for Archangel hoping eventually to join the Allies in France.
 The Serbs seized a locomotive and sufficient DON cars 10 carry the bat talion ard after four months journey arrived at Murmansk.
 The Allies landing at Murmansk in the spring of 1918 found the Serbian battalion there, ready to fight against the Bolsheviki, and, for the first few months of the campaign, the Serbs formed the backbone of the force opposing the Reds. which speedily NVreSted several huOdred m iIes oF tho Murmansk railway from the Com 1nunists.
 Throughout the subsequent fighting on this front Serbs have distinguished q themselves, and now they are await ing the day when they can return to the new greater Serbia which in- cludes Bosnia and other territories where they lived when impressed into dhe Austrian army.

LOCAL BUSINESS FEAR
FOR RAILROAD STRIKE
Ominous Trouble Clouds Make Local
Men Prepare for Emergency
Caused BY Threatened Walkout.

Local fruitmen, potato growers and
business men are watching closely the
ominious indications of general rail-
road strike which, according to infor-
nation available here Thursday from
eastbound passengers from Portland,
promises to tie up the Rose City OH
Labor day. In fact, rumors were
afloat that the strike may occur at
any time. Local business men are
making preparations to meet a general
transportation tie-up.
Just what effect the strike on coast
point will have on this section is prob
lematical. Railroad officials do not
believe that it will spread to Idaho
point since it concerns only shopmen
That the strike presents ominous pos
sibilities however is generally ad-
mitted. With Idaho now entering a
fruit shipping period and demand for
cars far exceeding the supply, it is
readily admitted that a general tie-up
of the freight transportation facilities
can bring large losses to this section
of Idaho.
Traffic from the west, from present
indications, will be the first to suffer
The possibility exists for a general
spread of the dissatisfaction through
out the entire country. Because the
men are walking out as individuals and
contrary to the wishes and orders OF
their labor leaders, the situation is
pregnant with possibilities. No fore
cast can be made of the time when
the tieup will become general

At a special meeting of the Board
of Education Tuesday afternoon, ten
vacancies in the teaching staff were
filled.
The building and grounds commit
tee was authorized to negotiate for
the purchase of block and half of
ground in Fair Acres, lie. block Is and
one-half block Is, which is to be pre-
pared for high school athletic
grounds. An athletic field which is in
close proximity to the high school
building has been one of the greatest
needs of the school system.
The matter of the construction of
cement walks from Dearborn street
along both sides of the high school
campus on 18th and 18th streets, and
from these streets to the east and west
entrances respectively of the high
school building was referred to the
