TO ORGANIZE
INDIAN DIVISIONS
Congress Considers Pro-
ject to Include
First Americans
in Army

A project has been put before con-
gress which calls for the inclusion in
the reorganization of the United
States, army of one or more full div
isions of Indian troops. Much testi-
mony regarding the efficiency of the
North American Indian as soldier
has been heard by the house COM
mittee in charge of the military bill
and many instances have been re-
counted of personal heroism on the
western front by soldiers.
DR.. J. X. Dixon, secretary of the
National American Indian Memorial
association presented numerous let
ters to the committee attesting the
bravery of Indians in the service
among them being one from General
Pershing.
The plan most favored by advo-
Gates of giving Indians a place in the
army proposes the establishment Of
permanent regimental or battalion
headquarters on or near important
reservations, system of schools for
the purpose of preparing Indian
youths for military career and
higher school to be known as the
Indian West Point

Committee to Look In
to Proposition at
Twin Falls

On Tuesday afternoon there was a
meeting of number of persons re-
presenting the beet growers or acting
in their interest, at the office of the
farm bureau, to listen to the presen-
tation of the project of building q
mutual or cooperative sugar factory
at Blackfoot. The matter was laid
before the committee by w. B.
Passey of the Idaho Cooperative Beet
Sugar company, who are building
one factory at Filler, Idaho, and have
another mill which they are seeking
a location for. Mr.. Passey was ac-
companied by o. w. Andelin, and
after spending most Of the afternoon
canvassing the subject, they decided
to have a committee go to Twin Falls
to further investigate the company
and its proposition, and if this COM
mittee Is converted to the project
they will return and present 1t to
the people Of this county for their
Mr.. Passey represented that it
would be possible to erect the factory
in time to grind the 1920 beet crop.
and that the climatic and other nat
ural advantages which Idaho has for
sugar will warrant rapid

out working any hardship on exist
ing factories. He advocates raising
greater acreage every year to take
advantage of the unusual conditions
Of the sugar market and make the
Snake river valley the grea. sugar
house of the world.

CONTINUE WORK
ON BOND ROADS
Crawling of Aberdeen
Highway to Cost
About $500 Per
Mile is Indication

The work of top coating the
grades leading into Aberdeen with
six inches of gravel, is progressing
rapidly, and the indications are that
it will cost about $4,000 mile for
putting on the gravel and rolling it
in. They put on coat about four
inches deep and roll it in, then put
on about three inches more and roll
it in. The specifications say 1t shall
be five inches thick at the outside
and seven inches thick at the middle
when rolled hard.
The grade is sixteen feet wide and
has a shoulder that requires special
work to give it form and hardness
to stand up under the traffic.
The Fort Hall macadam is to be
covered with two inches of bitumen
laid. on a rock bace five inches deep,
making a six-inch layer of bitulithic
road bed when run together hot, and
rolled hard.
When the board of commissioners
got the returns on the road bond
election last year they got busy find
ing out just what they had to do to
get the state and federal money to
put with our own for building the
sections of the state highway and
every detail of the transactions was
done carefully and under the driec-
ton of the officials of the state high
way department. Now it appears that
there is not enough money to go
around and supply all the applica-
tions that have been filed, and Bon
neville county which filed its applica-
ton long after ours, has been allotted
state and federal money for nineteen
miles of road and state highway Of
ficials deny that our application was
filed in time to get any of the avail
able funds. This discrepancy was
discovered few days ago and the
board is now pressing an inquiry on
the state highway department to
know by what authority the home
county of Commissioner Olson of the
hihgway department is placed ahead
Of Bingham county in the allotment
Of funds. While our application was
pending and while assurances were
being made that we should be taken
care of, this county entered into con-
tracts for road construction on the
Fort Hall macadam and materials
are all on the ground for completion
Of the job in early spring.

GENERAL zELLG0USKI
STATES THAT POLAND
URGED wilma SEIZURE
(By Associated Press)


RIGA, Dec. 3-The charge that the
Polish government instigated the seiz-
ure of Wilma by the former Polish Gen
eral Zellgouski. is made by NJ Bilinis,
a member of the Lithuanian Constitu-
ent Assembly and of the finance COM
mittee of that body
1T is only from Warsaw that Gen
eral Zellgouski can obtain food sup
plies and ammunition for his troops,
said NJ. Bilinis to The Associated
Press correspondent.
THE Polish government officially
calls Zellgouski a rebel and denies all
connections with him. However, they
have issued an official statement say
ing their troops stand at the gates OF
Wilma"
NJ. Bilinis denies the Polish asser-
ton that Zellgouski's army is COM
prised of white Lithuanians, Ukran-
ians and Russians who revolted be-
cause they wanted to return to Wilma.
On the contrary, he says that the
three divisions, detached from the Pol
ish regular army, are composed in
majority of Poles.
Indicates Motive.
He alleges that the real aims OF Po-
land are to obtain another port on the
Baltic besides DanZig and that she
would like either Memal or Llbau.
'Such aspirations make Poland men
ace to all the Baltic States, said M
BiliniS.
Another reason why the Polish
government is interested in the occu-
patton is that many Of the highest
Polish officials, among them General
Pilsudski, head of the Polish state,
and Prince Sapieha, Polish foreign
minister, are the owners of large es-
tates in Lithuania," Bilinis asserted.
1.-The interests of these Polish land
owners play great role in the Polish
Lithuanian conflicts. On several oc.
casions 1t was impossible to settle de-
markation lines because an estate be-
longing to some member of the Polish
aristocracy was involved"
NJ. Bilinis declares that General Zell-
gouski is a second General Bermo2dt,
the German commander who occupied
the Baltic states but was compelled to
withdraw.
Since the foregoing statement was
made the Council of the League of
Nations has undertaken to send to
Wilma an international force composed
of military contingents from Great
Britain, France and Belgium, to pre-
serve order there while the people are
given an opportunity to determine for
. themselves to what nation they SHALL
give adherence.
