"MADE GOOD" WITH CAMERA
Kermit Roosevelt's Photographs, Ia
ken in Africa, Are Looked on
as Masterpieces.

In 1909, when the Roosevelt eXpedi-
tion went to Africa on the greatest
of all safaris, by the dropping out of
the professional photographer, Ker-
nit Roosevelt suddenly was thrust
into the position Of official photog-
rapher to the expedition. l viewed this
arrangement with many misgivings-
because it was a task for maturity
and long experience-but the young
man made good. He made good 100
per cent, not only with the big game
rifle, but in wild animal photography
as we'll.
Mr.. Kermit's masterpiece is his best
picture of a whole herd Of elephants
in high but rather open forest, Will
liam Hornaday writes in Scribner's.
The light was none too good, but for
tunately it was good enough. This real
achievement was scored from perch
on low limb of a tree, conveniently
placed to drop the intervening brush
out of view. Five tuskers appear in
the front line, and the elephants are
massed together in the composition as
neatly and perfectly as if the hand
of man had grouped them to get all
the flankers into the picture.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was very
proud Of this picture, and so were
the editors of Scribner's magazine and
the AFRICAN Game Trail" book.

RESEMBLE ACRES OF LILIES
Visitors Beautiful Description of the
American Cemeteries in France
Exquisite in Uniformity.

Though American relatives usually
want to plant flowers on the graves
of their sons or brothers in the Amer
lean army cemeteries in France. an
army ruling fOrbidding this has been
adhered to. The cemeteries, uni
form stretch of green grass with white
crosses, look like "acres of white Ill
les" according to Miss Elsie Goddard,
a Wellesley graduate who has returned
to this country after having had super
vision of the Y. w. C. A. rest huts
built for the comfort of relatives WIS.,
iting the graves in four of the Ameri-
can cemeteries in France. "At first
every one wants to plant flowers on
the grave they love-" says Miss God
dard, "but they soon see that the army
ruling keeps the cemeteries most beau
tiful and impressive because of the
uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed
on graves and flowers can be planted
in the flower beds near by, but not
on the graves. The French people
who are eager to decorate the graves
in some parts are often surprised at
this ruling, but our cemeteries, as cared
for, are wonderfully impressive Aft
ter visiting them few Americans want
to take the bodies of their boys home,
though they have been determined to
do it before they came" The Y. w. G.
A. and Red Cross combine in MAIN
tanning rest huts at Romagne, Bony
Relleau Woods and Percent ardenois.
"No matter how prepared mother
and father are for what they expect
to see, the first sight of the field of
American graves overwhelms Them
says Miss Goddard.

Destroyed the Illusion.

Into the restaurant she came with
the air of a princess, a truly regal fig
ure, clad in brown from top to toe and
looking as if she had just visited a
Partisan modiste and beauty parlor
"a perfectly groomed, handsome wom-
an. There was an air. Of refinement
about her. She looked extensively
turned out in the simple, deceptive
way.
She seated herself at a table and
there were little EXPLANATIONS Of ad-
miration from other diners near. A
waitress approached; every one
hushed to listen to the beautiful crea-
ture speak.
In a high-pitched, East side voice
she ordered: Bring me a onion
omlette." 1t was brought, and she
played it golfishly speaking, with her
knife.-New York Evening Post.

Report of Work
on American Falls
Dam is Premature

AMERICAN FALLS.-Actual con-
struction work on the American
Falls dam will not begin the first of
the year, despite all Pocatello, Salt
Lake and Boise reports to the con-
trary SAYS the American Falls Press.
Very unusual circumstances would
have to arise to allow construction
to be thought of even within the
calendar year. Such is the opinion
of Eugene Banks, project engineer in
charge of the preliminary engineer
ing work.
The preliminary work is hardly
more than outlined, even after sew
eral weeks of work. Six or eight
months will elapse before the en-
gineers preliminary report can be
filed and no definite action involving
construction work can begin, until
the preliminary report has been
rendered and accepted Then money
must be raised to pay the second in
stallment on the guaranteed con-
tracts and this move will consume
considerable time. In other words,
reports of the beginning of actual
construction within any definitely
stated period are unfounded and not
based on proper information.
The engineering parties are COM
pleting the triangulations and To-
eating triangulation points on both
sides of the river. This work is be-
ing done with extreme accuracy.
Adjustments are made even for the
temperature of the steel tape and
variations in climatic conditions and
elevations. This work is progressing
with a considerable degree of rap
dity, but is not yet complete.
Mr. Banks returned early in the
week from Denver, Colo, where he
went for consultation with officials
of the reclamation service. Tenta-
tive plans were discussed for solving
the water power problems to the sat
isfaction of the Idaho Power COM
pany. Mr.. Banks stated that an Of
fer would probably be made the
power company during the latter
part of October or early in Novem-
Der.

DEVILS AIRSHIP"
BRITISH INVENTION
Aerial Torpedo Capable
of Performing Amaz-
ing Stunts
(By Universal Service)

LONDON. - An aerial torpedo
which can be controlled thousands
of miles away has been invented by
Charles S. Price, prominent Brit
ish mechanical engineer.
Carrying no crew but under alb
solute control to any distance at
which wireless is effective, the tor
pedo can be used for exploration,
observation or carrying mails. 1t
actually has been used by the Brit
ish war office during hostilities for
bombing purposes. 1t makes pho
tographs and the inventor declares
he has practically completed an in
vention by which the effects OF the
bombing raid can be recorded at
home simultaneously with the raid
itself, which may take place thou
sands of miles away.
'The torpedo can travel from $50
to 200 miles an hour and can tell
at any moment just where it is"
said Mr.. Price.
"The Germans called it the 'dev-
lis airship.' One German who was
a butler in England during 1915
offered me on behalf Of the German
government 100000 for the Sc
cret. He was locked up in the tower
of London as a spy"
Price declares he can steer the
torpedo at New York, Australia or
any other part of the world from
any wireless station in Great Brit
ain,

SPEECH OF FRENCH
WAS WELL RECEIVED
CONGRESSMAN SPOKE TO DEARY
PEOPLE SATURDAY ON Ma
TIONAL ISSUES.
(Latah County Press.)

Congressman Burton L.. French ad-
dressed large audience here last
Saturday, speaking in the open air
from an auto. This particular sec
tion Of Latah county is "honle" to
Mr.. French. He taught school in this
vicinity before entering upon his ca
reer and many of his old pupils were
in his audience Saturday. Mr.. Franch
devoted considerable time to the last
congress, which was called upon to
undertake the reconstruction work
following the war with many attend
ing difficulties. He told of the COM
mittee on appropriations of which he
is chairman, which saved the govern
ment millions of dollars by cutting
the appropriations asked for by the
administration at various times, yet,
he says, his committee IS being ac-
cused by Mr.. Cox of being extrava-
giant. Mr. French showed up the fall
lacy Of government ownership by
citing numerous cases where thous-
ands and even millions were saved
when bids for work were asked from
the government and from private
concerns The government pays no
taxes and has no heavy upkeep, yet
in actual tests it cannot do job OF
work anywhere as cheaply as pri-
vate concern can do the same work
He urged the people to support the
providing for two addi-
tional supreme judges for the reason
that the present court cannot attend
to the immense amount of litigation
that is piling up. Mr.. French indul-
ged in no violent criticism or mud
singing. That has never been his
STYLE His remarks were received
with hearty applause and during his
short stay, following the speech, he
was greeted by dozens of his old
time friends. The meeting was pre-
sided over by J. A. Harsh, committee
nan from Mountain Meadow precinct.

IDAHO SELLS LANDS
AND TIMBER IN NORTH

Ben Bush, state timber cruiser,
whose home is in Idaho, reports a
number of good sales of timber land
and timber in several other Idaho
counties recently. In cases where
and land was sold it was either log
ged off land belonging to the state,
or land on which the timber was sold.
Where the timber was sold the sale
did not include the land. At Sand
point 81 forty-acre tracts were sold.
This was the land and the tracts
brought from $40, the appraised
value, to $50. In Kootenai county 13
tracts of 40 acres each were sold for
from $40 to SGT per acre. In Bene-
wah county 13 tracts brought from
$40 to $50 per acre, an average of
$40 all through. In Shoshone county
the sale was poorly attended and but
two tracts were sold and payment
made. These were two 40 acre
tracts of timber and brought S7,735.
In Benewah county one section of
timber sold for SCI, $50. Bids were
made on five tracts in Shoshone coun-
ty but the bidders did not close the
deals and these will be held open for
a few days.

0MsK HEADQUARTERS
FOR BOLSHEWSTS
SINCE DEFEAT OF KOLCHAK
SOVIET FORM GOVERNMENT
IN THAT FINE CITY.

LONDON-(By A. P.)-Omsk, ST.
IBERIA, formerly the antibolshevik
headquarters of the late Admiral
Kolchak, has been transformed into
a bolshevist headquarters, seat of the
soviet government for all Siberia,
chiefly by the use of red bunting, red
paint and red propaganda posters
and pamphlets printed in Moscow
and sent to Siberia.
New street signs featuring bolshe-
vik nomenclature; new heroic street
arches and monuments constructed of
wood and painted red are other
changes, noted by The Associated
Press correspondent who recently
crossed Russia.
| Behind the scenes, Omsk is the
same city of suffering refugees, scant
food and clothing and difficult living
conditions in general, according to
Russians who talked to The Associa-
ted Press correspondent and his COM
panion, the first Americans to enter
Omsk after Admiral Kolchak's hur-
ried evacuation. There has been little
relief in an economic way for the peo-
pie, there being as much dissatisfac-
tion under the reds as there was un-
der Kolchak
Gone from Omsk are the vari-
colored uniforms of Allied missions
from Paris, London and Toxic and
forgotten is the Omsk express, the
weekly train to Vladivostok. The for
mer are replaced by ENJOYS and mis-
sions out from Moscow, usually for
food or any supplies that may be OBJ
tanned for shipment to the bolshevik
capital. American Red Cross nurses
and Y. M. G. A. men have been re-
placed by bolshevik workers who
wear the red insignia on their caps.
Military opposition to the soviets
having been overcome, attention has
been turned to constructive work
Attemps are being made to solve the
present food shortage by vegetable
gardens in public parks and even in
several streets. The entire grounds
of the one cathedral were given over
to potato growing during the summer.
At the head of Lenine street, at the
top of the hill in the main part of the
city, an heroic wooden arch painted
red, carries the likenesses of Lenine,
and Karl Marx, the German COM
munist whose philosophy is taken
literally by the bolsheviki At the
other end of the street is great
red wooden column, erected to the
memory of the bolsheviki killed in
the fighting near Omsk.
Bolshevik headquarters have been
established in the new building which
Admiral Kolchak had planned to use
to house his ministry of justice. A
red banner bearing the inscription,
First Home of the Siberian Soviet"
marks the building. In front of it is
a huge granite block, formerly the
pedestal of statue of notable Of
the reign of Emperor Nicholas. Now
it awaits a new bust of Karl Marx.
The chief bolshevik commissar for
Siberia, Tavarish Smirnoff lives in
one of the buildings formerly used as
an American Red Cross hospital. 1t
is a part of an agricultural college
three miles north of the city.

Among the activities discussed at
the conference in question, and which
will be further discussed when the
committee of ten meets, was the erec-
tion of dormitories at the state edu-
cational institutions at which LOCO
students are without satisfactory ac-
commodations; the establishment of
scholarships; the establishment of re-
volving loan fund, and kindred educa-
tional aids.
have leased some buildings adjacent
to the University of Texas at Austin,
and will convert them into domitories,
recreation rooms, etc., for students,
both male and female, at the Univer-
sity having Masonic connections. At
Oklahoma, likewise,
commodious dormitory is being built
at cost of 100000, convenient to
the University of Oklahoma, by the
Scottish Rite bodies of that State, for
use of students, and when it IS com
pleted another will be erected, the
plan being to provide accommodations
for both young men and young wom-

SUNDAY SERMON IN
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
REV. w. S. CROCKETT, POPULAR
PASTOR, ON TEXT FROM
FIRST PETER.

Following is a review of the SER
mon delivered by the Rev. w. S.
Crockett, pastor of the Christian
church Sunday:
Text: l Peter 2:5, sTo offer up
spiritual sacrifice acceptable unto
God thru Jesus Christ" The spirit
ual is just as real as the physical. We
are coming to realize that the spirit
ual is governed by just as immutable
laws as the law of the attraction of
gravitation. A spiritual sacrifice re-
quires that we give up or relinquish
something to another person. In
Matthew 5:24 we are taught that one
of the things we are to give up is
hatred, which is a feeling that many
maintain against their fellowman ac-
companied by desire to injure him.
Christ came to teach US this di-
vine thing, "While the hatred of God
against sin is strong as death, His
love to sinners is yet stronger than
DEATH" In order to be spiritual we
must learn this lesson from our
Heavenly Father. Our Heavenly
Father is a spirit and we must wor-
ship him in the spirit of love and the
spirit of truth. Our Savior teaches
US to put away all grudges an1 i'll
will He teaches us to become recon-
ciled to our brother and then come
and offer thy gift In speaking of
this text the wise. Phillip Brooks
says, ooh my dear friends, you who
are letting miserable misunderstand-
ings run On from year to year, mean
ing to clear them up some day, If you
could know and see and feel that the
time is short how it would break the
spell! How you would go instantly
and do the thing which you might
never have another chance to do"
The chapter that contains our text
begins thus, putting away all wicked
ness, the word wickedness might be
the word wickedness might be easily
translated hatred, and the depths of
the depravity of hatred is found in
the fact that man hates no one so
much as the one he has injured, and
secondly man hates those whom he
envies. Our Savior teaches that
Eternity is too short to spend a
moment of it in this evil passion. And
my text and context, calls upon us
to sacrifice our worst enemy, that is
our ability to hate. Hatred has al
ways brought forth a crop of trouble
in the ancient civilization or
the modern city. 1t freezes the heart |
of man, colder than the ice of the
that never melts.
