published in Idaho, that are now

Mr.. Picotte bears the distinction OF
having the first telephone exchange
in Idaho. The Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company established an
exchange in his office when they ex-
tended their service into Idaho about
a quarter of a century ago, we have

GERMANY WILL NOT
ASK FOR ADMISSION
League of Nations Mem.
bership not Wanted
at Present

PARIS.-Germany has decided not
to press for admittance into the
League of Nations at the Geneva
meeting, November Is, but will
await the proposals of President
elect Harding Of the United States
Tor a new association of powers &C
cording to information in we'll in
formed diplomatic circles.
A neutral diplomat was authority
for statement that this decision
was prompted partly by fear that
Germany's request for admission
would be rejected and partly by a de-
sire for closer cooperation with the
United States.
SO far Germany has not sought ad-
mission to the League of Nations but
1t was understood that Sweden act
ing in behalf of Germany is ready to
propose the immediate admittance of
Germany. Sweden counted upon the
support of Premier Lloyd George Of
England, who has been showing an
attitude towards Germany more leni-
ent than that of France.
There are indications that Ger
many's decision is sufficiently to
France. The semi official newspaper
Temps has been urging the League
not to admit Germany even if the
Berlin government applied. This
newspaper advocated delay on any
German request until the attitude Of
the United States was finally deliv-
cred, which will be some months
hence.
Among the nations seeking admit
lance at the Geneva meeting are Fin
land, Bulgaria and China.
The Japanese delegation has arriv-
ed at Geneva, but dispatches from
that city say that Japanese are silent
regarding their proposal for racial
equality. Belief is growing in Paris
that the Japanese will not press their
demand for equality Of races in view

COURT DECISION
PERMITS LIQUOR
TRANSPORTATION
New Interpretation of
Volstead Act by
High Tribunal

WASHINGTON. The whiskey
food gates may be opened by the
supreme court decision regarding
whiskey held in storage.
| Large stocks of the 50,OOO,OO0
gallons Of whiskey in bonded ware
houses may be released by this de-
cision, 1t was stated. Certificates
showing the holdings of whiskey in
bonded warehouses, and an evidence
of its ownership are apparently vi
tally affected. The court, in passing
upon New York case did not deal
specifically with the question of
warehouse certificates, but its view
was made plain that whiskey owned
and stored for personal use may be
withdrawn and moved by the owner
at his option.
The decision may deal a body blow
at prohibition, it was stated. Prohi-
bition Commissioner Kramer and In
ternal Revenue Commission Williams
are studying the decision with view
to determining its effect upon liquor
stocks in bond.
In effect, the court states that
whiskey stored by an owner who &C
quired it legally and does not hold
1t for any illegal use, may take it
out of storage and transport it at
any time. In this New York case it
was made plain whether an owner
could move his liquor so stored
across boundaries in interstate COM
merce.
Transportation in interstate COM
merce was not involved by the facts
in this case and no mention ofthis
phase of the matter was made by
the court. 1t is still, therefore, a mat
ter for the determination of the In
ternal Revenue bureau and the ex-
tent to which the decision will al
low interstate shipments will not be
definitely known until commissioner
Williams makes known his ruling on
the matter. 1t was established by the
court that ownership of whiskey is
a property right enjoyed under the
constitution and the view of the
court was that nothing in the Vol
stead law, regardless of the provis-
ions covering this point can take
away that right. Upon that broad
ground it was admitted by enforce
ment officials today that great diff
ficulties would be encountered in any
attempt to prevent Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses of whiskey stocks |
represented by legally acquired GER
tificates now outstanding among
thousands of individuals.
1t is likely, officials said that there
will be stiff opposition by the en-
forcement bureau to any letting
down of the bars for indiscriminate
/
Among the regul ltions which are
automatically rescinded is one which
prohibited an owner of liquor, legally
acquired for his personal use within
he home, from moving the liquor

place, even to another domicile,' ex-
,ept under permit issued after
much "red tape
The broad position taken by the
tribunal is that an owner of liquor
Of which is not in di:pute,
md bought for legal uses, can move
wherever end whenever fancy suits
i'm.

no idea of the pinch that people in

cents for pint Of milk; 40 cents per
gallon for kerosene; $1.20 per
pound for sugar, and $1.20 per

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 27.-Whilr
~ould-be prospectors for oil in thc
Fort Norman district are chatting i'm
patiently to break through the corG07
of provincial police which prevent
Gheir passing Peace River Crossing
stake claims in the oil fields, a scheme
s afoot here, which, if carried to 2
'uccessful conclusion, will enabl

The adventurers plan to enter tho

According to Major c. MacLaurin
superintendent Of the Jericho Air Sta
ion of the Dominion Air Board, il
would be possible to fly from the
coast to the oil fields in a long dis
:ance flying machine. The distance
s approximately six hundred miles
and if a opwerful airplane could be
secured on the coast, the flight would
be a feasible undertaking.
It is planned to outfit at point on
the coast nearest the Fort Norman
district The plane would be equip
nod with runnprs hy means Of which
landings could be made on the ice OF
rivers and lakes which abound in the
Interior of British Columbia. The
machine would take off from the base
It the coast, fly over the almost i'm
passable mountain ranges and land
on some convenient lake near the
point where the claims are to be stalk
ed. After stalking, the aviators would
'eave Immediately, returning to the
coast On the same day.
There were about twenty claims
