LEAVES FOR CALIFORNIA.

Eugene Mauer, who has been

Francisco, Cal. where he expects
to locate permanently. Mr..
Mauer has always taken an
active interest in the community
affairs, being an exceptionally
fine singer and was one of the

Mr.. Mauer has many friends
in Cottonwood who wish him the
best of success in his new loca-
ton.
At the present time there is
an exceptionally good opening
for a tailor in Cottonwood. Mr.
Mauer had three prospective
buyers in view, but as none oi
them appeared to close a dea

MINERS ARE RESCUED
Been EntOmed by Cave-In Over
Fourteen Days.

After being in the Gold Hun
ter mine at Mullan, Idaho since
Saturday morning, November
Is, when they were entombed by
a slide of earth P. P. Grant and
Emil Sayko, miners, were taken
out at 3:15 p. m. Saturday.
Both are in fairly good condition
and they are now in a hospital
at Wallace, where they will re-
main for several days.
Grant and Sayko had been i'm
prisoned more than fourteen full
days, or 271 hours and five
minutes.
Ever since the cavein the fight
to reach the men has been in
progress. A week ago Friday
two other men were imprisoned
as they were rushing work to
get to the pair. After being en-
tombed for a little more than a
day they were relased, none the
worse for their experience.
Grant and Sayko are both
weak from the effects of their
long stay underground. Sayko
said that the only time the en-
tombed men felt completely dis
couraged was when the second
cavein came and the work stop
ped for a few minutes. There
were black horrors until they
heard the water trickle and they
went almost wild with delight
when the diamond drill broke
through from above.
They were given food and sti-
mulants and said they were COM
Portable.
The "break through" came
early Saturday morning, but it
was not until after noon that the
rescue crews got a hole big
enough to take them out. They
are being kept in dimly lighted
rooms and even their families
are not permitted to stay for
more than a few minutes with
them. The accident is declared
to be the most remarkable in the
history of the Occur d'Alenes
mot only were the two men re-
scued after two weeks imprison
ment, but two others buried il
trying to reach them were also
taken out safely.
Every mining operator in thu
district offered to give aid il
rescuing them. A government
man with a geophone was
brought from Salt Lake City anC
all work in the mine was sus
pended to help get them out.

RAISE SUBSCRIPTION TO So.

The Nezperce Herald and the
Ilo Register in their last weeks
issue carried announcements
stating that on and after Jan. l
the subscription prices of their
newspapers will be raised to So a
year. They will also increase
their advertising rates. The
high price of paper coupled with
advancing price of labor has
forced them to advance their
subscription and advertising
rates.
The raise in prices by these
two papers is a just one, they
being both creditable sheets to
their communities and if they
are not worth So per year the
price that will be asked after
Jan. 1 they are not worth a cent
Subscribers who stop their sub
scription on account of the raise
is a person that the publisher
may well feel glad to get off OF
his list. SO a year by no means
pays for the paper and work en-
volved in getting the publication
to its readers every week.

PAROLE GIVEN
0. v. ALLEN
BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUS
LY TO RELEASE FORMER
STATE TREASURER

o. V. Allen, former state trea-
surer who confessed the en-
bezzlment of sums from the
state treasury totaling $4,000
during his term of office and
was sentenced October %, 1914,
to serve from five to ten years
in the state penitentiary, was re-
leased from the pen on parole
Wednesday by the state pardon
board. The action of the board
was unanimous. Allen has re-
peatedly implored state pardon
boards to grant him an absolute
pardon.
The present board refused to
give him unconditional freedom,
and released him to the custody
of his brother, H. A. Allen, Of
Twin Falls under the usual pa
role requirement that he make
regular reports as to his conduct
and his whereabouts.
Although Allen has been in
the penitentiary since October
%, 1914, and has actually serv-
ed but five years and a little
more than a month, his excep.
tional record under the state
laws entitle him to credit fol-
having served Z years and s
months. The prison authorities
reported to the pardon board al
it's meeting when Aliens case
was up for consideration, that
there was not a single mark
against Aliens record as a pri'
soner. His full maximum sen
tence of ten years would have
expired January 21, 1921, count
ing time out for good behavior.
The state recovered the entire
amount of Allen speculations
which with interest totaled near
ly $145.000. The recovery was
made through his bonding com
pany. Implicated with Allen wa'
his deputy, Fred M. Coleman
who stood trial on the charge
and was sentenced to serve from
212 to ten years. Coleman wa
pardoned February 10, 1919, af
ter his sentence had been defini
tly fixed at 212 years.
Allen for the last year ha
been prisoner manager of th'
J HURT ranch at Nampa, whicl
was leased by the state.

DOUGHBOY MODEL
IDAHO MODEL
COMMISSION DECIDED AT
MEETING IN BOISE
LAST WEEK.

The Fairbanks model OF the
American soldier, as designated
and submitted by Award Fair
banks, the Salt Lake sculptor
has been adopted by the state
memorial commission as the Of
ficial emblem for Idaho's memo
rial to the soldiers, sailors and
marines who lost their lives in
the late war. This decision was
reached at the close of a two
days session of the memorial
commission in Boise. Harold
Harris of Grangeville is a mem
Der of the commission.
The commission decided to
make the model as typically Ida
hoan as possible and the heads
and faces will be modelled after
three Idaho soldiers, the late 1t.
John M. Regan, Private Mel
bauer of Sugar City and Sgt.
Chas. A. Turner of Grangeville.
Lieutenant Regan give his
life to his country on the battle
field of France and lies buried
there. Private Neibauer is the
only soldier from Idaho and one
of the few in the nation to re-
ceive the congressional medal for
bravery on the BATTLEFIELD. He
captured single handed a large
number of Germans besides put
ting several machine gun nests
out of commission. Sergeant
Turner is now at Grangeville and
was a member of Company E
from Idaho county.
Adoption of the Fairbanks
model clears the stage for action
and the various counties of the
state may now proceed with the
erection of memorials to their
soldier dead. The law under
which the memorial commission
acted was passed at the 1919
session of the state legislature.
It provides for an appropriation
of $4,000 from the state. Each
county under the terms of the
law will receive $1,000 from the
state, providing the couny raises
a like amount, or more, and
erects memorial embodying the
emblem adopted by the commits
sion. Thus, a county which
wishes to suitably remember its
departed heroes, may do so with
state aid, and there is no limit
to the amount to be subscribed
by the county and expended or
such memorials.
The Fairbanks model, under
the decision of the commission
will be available in two forms, {
free standing figure or in relief
, AS outlined by the commission
a memorial costing but littl,
over $4,000 may be erected whicl
will embody the Fairbanks mode
in relief and which will be in &C
cordance with the memorial Law
and will therefore draw S100
from the state memorial fund.

4 ial to the boys who lost thei
: lives in the war, but makes n
4 provision for recognition of tn
