new FREIGHT INCREASE HURTING
THE WESTERN LUMBER MARKET

That the increase in freight rates
recently put into effect is an unjust
ruling detrimental to the welfare of
western lumber firms has been ac-
knowledged by the Interstate COM
merce commission, following the de-
mand of these companies for a hear
ing on the question, and the commits
sion has signified its intention to
reach an early decision rectifying the
situation.
Under the terms of the advance
western lumbermen would practically
be shut out of the middlewestern mar
ket on condition of slack demand.
Heretofore, the southern lumbermen.
running on a ten hour day with rate
of SO cents per hGldredweight to the
Chicago terminal, had the edge on
western firms by a wide margin but
held up their prices to conform to
the western competition because of
the almost Unsuitable demand for lum-
Der. The former rate from this sec
tiOn to the Chicago terminal was 81
cents per hundredweight. The changed
rates forced the western lumbermen
to meet ALI increase of 33 1-3 per cent,
a raise of 19 cents, which brings the
present rate to 76 cents. The rate

business matters.
Mr.. Watson has paid special atten-
tion to the poultry business and has
been quite successful He keeps ac-
curate record Of the costs Of caring
for and feeding his flock and his fig
ures show that he is making a profit

He has about 200 chickens in his
flock, all thoroughbred White Leg
horns.
This week he placed an order for
thoroughbred cockerel and six hens
White Leghorns, with a poultry firm
in Grand Rapids, Mich. These seven
chickens cost 500 and are from a
famous egg laying strain. The breed
record is from 265 to 300 eggs each
year With chickens of this breed
Mr.. Watson plans to build up one of
the finest White Leghorn flocks in
the country.
This year his present flock was in
spected by a specialist and all the
non-producing hens were weeded out
and stock selected for breeding pur-

Following is chapter of an article
dealing with the history of the con-
flict between President Wilson and
the senate in regard to the Versailles
League of Nations. This article is
written for the purpose of enlighten-
ing the public as to why the Wilson
league should not be entered into by
the United States and the views eX-
pressed in the various chapters are
the views of not only republicans but
also democrats; some democrats con-
scientiously believe in the Wilson
League of Nations, others are sup
porting it merely because it is a party
program and not that they believe in
its provisions. The democratic news
papers are entering into the contro-
versy not to give the public the unvar-
nished truth but to distort facts; they
are willing apparently, if one is to
judge from local conditions, to resort
to any means, any prevention of the
truth, any deliberate misrepresenta-
ton, to gain their ends-party vic
tory, even if it is at the expense Of
American institutions.-Ed Editor.

from the southern lumber zone to the
Chicago terminal was advanced 33 1-3
per cent, adding II cents to the SO
heretofore a effect and making a
total charge Of but 4S cents per hun
dredweight
1t can be readily seen that this
would add to the burden of the west
ern lumbermen by caueing an in
crease in the middle western market
price of western lumber out of all
proportion to the increase which
would be demanded of the southern
product the difference in market
price being about 50 per thousand
feet with the southern product Oh the
easy end.
So long as the demand continues
strong, the sale of western lumber
would not be greatly checked but
with a declining market the advan-
tage would be with the southern in
terests and the west would suffer
the difficulty of going into an under
sold market with its products.
East of Chicago, from this section,
the increase IS 40 per cent in freight
rates and even with the present high
demand practically shuts the western
dealers out OF all states east of Illi-
nois.

CROWDS ATTEND
IL. |. |. PICNIC

The annual picnic and Labor Day
celebration of the Lyoal Legion OF
Loggers and Lumbermen was held
yesterday at the city park grounds
and was attended by large crowds
The day was an ideal one and all
arrangements planned by the various
committees of the l.. L. L. l.. were
carried out as fully as time permitted
Three features of the day were the
basket dinner at noon, the baseball
game between the sawmill and the
planning mill boys, and the dance at
night.
The L. L. l.. L. furnished ice cream,
coffee, milk and sugar and lemon
ade for the basket dinner. Tables
and benches were provided in abund-
ance for the picnickers. Swings were
provided for the use of the children
during the day.
After the dinner hour a concert
was given by the members of the
Walden Band. The band had intend
ed to play all during the day but
yesterday it was decided that the or
ganization should go to Spokane Mon
day instead of this morning to fill
their engagement with the Spokane
Interstate Fair and so but one con-
cert was given.
The address of the day was given
by E. NJ Flood who commented in an
interesting manner upon the ideals
of the L. L. l.. l.. organization, dis
cussing the general labor problems of
the day and the manner in which the
Loyal Legion had been able to solve
many of these problems to the advan-
tage of themselves, their employers
and the general public.
The ball game was interesting and
both teams played to win until the
last inning was over. Bill Johnston
and Don Cole were the battery for
the mill team and Mud" Myers and
Joe Lynch were the battery for the
planning mill nine. The game ended
with a score of 10 to 16 in favor OF
the mill team Ed Miley was umpire.
The dance at night was well at
tended and there were from 60 to 20
couples on the big floor nearly every
dance. Music was furnished by Bush's
five piece orchestra.

One OF BEST
in THE STATE
BONNERS FERRY HIGH SCHOOL is,
ONE OF IL IN STATE in EDU-
CATI0NAL ASSOCIATION
A LARGE ENROLMENT TODAY
Use Union Church Building for Pri-
mary Grades This Fall.

The school term for 1920-21 began in
Independent Schol District No. 4 this
morning and it is certain that the en-
rollment of today will exceed by far
all other first day records in the his
tory of the school.
Superintendent Kerr states that he
is expecting many more enrollments
of pupils from various parts of the
county. 1t is also probable that the
enrollments in the grade buildings
will be increased within the next two
weeks.
The patrons of Independent School
District No. should be particularly
proud of the fact that the high school
of this district is not only one of the
few accredited high schools of Idaho
but that it has also been taken into
the Northwest Association of Second
airy Schools and Colleges.
This association takes in Montana,
Oregon, Washington and Idaho and
the schools selected by the associa-
ton must conform to strict regula-
tions as to equipment, teaching corps
and subjects handled AS matter of
fact only few Montana high schools
are accredited by this association and
there are only IL in Idaho. The Bon
ners Ferry high school is the only
high school north of Moscow that has
been recognized in the Idaho pan
handle.
Following is list of the high
schools of Idaho that have been al
lowed membership in the Northwest
Association of Secondary Schools and
Colleges;
Boise, Lewiston, Wallace, Nampa,
Twin Falls, Wardner-Kellogg, Cald
we'll. Idaho Falls, Moscow, Buhl,
Blackfoot and Bonners Ferry.
Membership in the Northwest Asso-
citation of Secondary Schools and Col
leges is an honor sought by many
high schools and there are many
towns in Idaho of larger population
than Bonners Ferry that are not eli
gible at the present time.
All the vacancies in the teaching
corps of the local schools have been
filled Miss Dorothy Wentz, of Rath-
drum, has accepted the position of
teacher of English in the high school.
Miss Neill, of Nampa, Idaho, will be,
the teacher of the primary grade.
The school trustees have leased the
OulOl ChuIcu builuluB anu thlS builu-
ing will be used this year for the first
and second grades. The primary
rooms in the grade building will be
occupied by overflow classes from the
third, fourth and fifth grades.
The new girls dormatory is prac-
tically ready for use and it is appar-
ent that this new feature of the Bon
ners Ferry high school will appeal
to parents of girls in the country dis
tricts. The dormatory is being fitted
with good furniture and each girl will
have some responsibility in taking
care of the home. Mrs. Edison Cave
will be the matron in charge

HISTORY OF The LEAGUE OF NATIONS

peace was to be made by "open cove
nants openly arrived at" the work at
Versailles was done in secret. Not
merely were the conferences them
selves behind closed doors, but a stern
censorship kept the world misin-
formed or wholly ignorant. Not until
the negotiators and observers had left
the realms of this censorship did the
world get an inkling of the intrigue
the petty chicanery, the pompous hy-
pocrisy, the betrayals, the bargains
and the baleful influences that swayed
the men who held in their hands the
destiny of the world
The censorship was not confined to
the work of the conference. A special
censorship on dispatches from the
United States was ordered to prevent
the French from learning what Amer
lea really thought of the league, even
as a special censorship on dispatches
from France was ordered to prevent
the Americans from learning what the
French really thought of the league.
Without the duplicity of this censor
ship President Wilson might never
have been able to obtain his demands
Even now the whole story has not
been told of the price which President
Wilson paid 10 have his way, how he
played nation against nation and peo-
pies against their governments, how
he cast away American interests
threw overheard his principles, be-
trayed China, rebuffed Ireland, prom
ised to send the American armies and
navies into European wars and used
the great name of the American peo-
pie to persuade or to browbeat those
whom other appeals failed to move.
To obtain Great Britains support
he abandoned his demand for the free
dom of the seas, consented to her TAX
ing over vast German colonies in AT
rica and the Pacific, as we'll as Meso-
patamia and Persia, recognized her
protectorate over Egypt and granted
the British empire six votes to Ameri-
cas- one in the assembly of the league
of nations.
To France, he gave special treaty
of military defense after pledging
himself that no separate treaties
should be made, consented to her ac-
quisition of German and Turkish ter
ritories and yielded to her demands
for the Saar valley which he original
ly had opposed.
To Japan he conceded Shantung and
the Pacific Islands, although the con-
cession of Shantung lost China to the
league, and but for the veto of Austria
liza, he might have conceded to Japan
her coveted "racial equality"
He forced the hand of the Italian
conferees by arousing the people of
Italy against their government and
undermining the Orlando ministry
To Roumania and Serbia he pledged
the sending of United States soldiers
