PORTAGE AUTO
VICTIMS HOME
Patients Are Removed from the
Sarington Farm on Wednesday
and Are Now at Homes

The persons who were injured
when the Portage automobile went
into the stream which flows through
Congress hall, have been returned to
their homes David Mcfarland and
James Thompson escaped serious in
jury but their wives were more ser
iously hurt. Ribs were broken and
bruises suffered. Little Grace Nc
Farland escaped with a bruise. After
being taken from the deep hole by the
side of the highway they were re-
moved to the Sarrington home on the
Summer place where they remained
until Wednesday. The car was pull
ed from the water, has been purchas-
ed by the Sarringtons who will re-
move the battered body and use the
machine for light work.
Money and Tools in Pool
The tools from the car are at the
bottom of the pool. One of the men
left his pocketbook containing about
six dollars in the water. Other articles
are also in the muddy bottom The
broken guard-posts moved off by the
machine, also the boards, have been
replaced. Many visitors have stopped
at the place and marveled at the
awful plunge and somersault made
by the car and occupants. Save for the
rivers, the place where the car left
the road is about the worst place be-
tween Portage and KilbouYn-a few
rods either way might have avoided
the wreck.
Mr.. Mcfarland is employed in the
railway shops in Portage and Mr..
Thompson is stone cutter for the
Stotzer Granite company.
1t is said the Chevrolet was going
about thirty miles an hour when the
crash came.

Excepts Food Control and Trading
With the Enemy Acts to Curb
P,ofiteering
PRESIDENT WILSON
APPROVES STEP
Only Thee Negative Votes Were
Cast in National House; on to
Senate

By a vote of 323 to the house at
Washington, d. G. Friday forenoon
passed the Volstead resolution which
in effect repeals all war legislation
with the exception Of the food con-
troll, trading with the enemy, and Lib
erty bonds and Victory loan acts. The
Democrats joined with the Republic
ans in putting the measure through
after criticiZing the majority party
leaders for not including the food con-
troll act among those repealed.
Approximately so laws most of
them comforting broad discretionary
authority on the president as long
as the technical state of war con-
tinues, would be revoked by the
resolution.
With the house action, the repeal
resolution was sent to the senate,
where action on it is expected before
adjournment Saturday. House
democrats predicted that President
Wilson would approve the measure,
Representative Connally asserting
that the president was first to sug
gest the notification Of the war act.
The Texas member added that the
democrats were ready to override
a veto, if necessary.
The retention of the Lever act
was explained by Representative
Walsh, rep, in charge of the repeal
legislation as necessary to give the
government an effective law for
curbing profiteering in necessities, in
Guiding food and fuel. He added that
the trading with the enemy act should
be continued to regulate trade with
Germany.

Second Letter

April 28, 1920
The mail came for the first time in
ten days and when 1 came in this noon
what should I find but twelve letters
I was so glad and excited. cried as
they are first have had for so long,
but trains are running regularly so
I will get them hereafter. Today we
went to the Polish Red Cross hospital.
We interviewed 25 or 80 women who
work there for almost nothing and
how absolutely no clothes or shoes or
anything to work with. We will do
all we can for them.
The schools are sad places, but the
children do wonderful work, drawing
painting and all kinds of poster work
They are natural artists. In the
kindergarten the children come at 8
O'Clock and stay until four without
food. We are going to get them food
and serve cocoa at noon. The teach
ers we're all so interested in their
work. Mr. White, an American man.
and John Smulski's representative is
a very interesting man. He has been
here for some time and knows every
one and can tell all kinds if interest
ing stories. There is a Jewish quar-
ter here. The typical Jew, with long
boards, wear long black robes and
skull caps. 1t is a very interesting
place and I like it very much. There
are about three million people here,
lovely parks and buildings. They are
trying to fix things up but of course
everything looks rather dilapidated
as the Germans occupied the city for
two years.
We have met so many interesting
people. Nine. Bishping, Vice presi-
dent of the Polish Red Cross, is a
baroness, very democratic, works all
day and every day and gives all her
money to charity. She is SO human
and nice and is so interested in Miss
Lathrop's coming.
|. Nine. Barmanova, who is interested
in children's hospitals, has invited us
to tea this Saturday afternoon at
o'clock. She is a very high type of
Polish woman and so nice.
Do not worry about typhus; there
is not much of it around here and we
have been inoculated. We get plenty
of food and water supply Of War
saw is said to be the finest in the
world. The fighting along the bor-
der is fierce but the Poles are win
ming from the bolshevists. We have
ten aviators who are doing great work
They brought in a lot Of wounded to-
day from the front The whole situa-
ton is terribly interesting. They
are fighting everywhere and more un-
rest than ever before. What will the
outcome be? The Polish women
have an army here and have asked
for more recruits. They are certainly
patriots, every one of them, and de-
serve liberty and whatever they want.
Here I have been gone over two
months, one-third Of our time. We
signed for six months only Will write
more in day or so.

ulation was kept up with the returns
as they came in and the totals for
the eighteen precincts reporting were
soon determined.
Election day passed quietly in
Blackfoot, and voting was orderly.
Judges were on hand at the polling
places early and ready for the days
strenuous duties. Efforts had been
made by both party organizations to
get the vote out, and in all four pre-
c1ncts many early votes were cast.
Women were active in the days
events, as workers and election Of
ficials, but this has been the rule
in Idaho for years. In the east wom-
en- were having their first experience
at the polls, and interest is conferred
in how they WILL use the ballot there.
The bulk of votes in Blackfoot was
cast after noon, but as the judges
counted the ballots in sets of twenty
five the task was not so heavy at
the end of the day. Very little ex-
element was in evidence, people
seemed to have made up their minds
how to vote and then they went with
a sort of grim determination to dis
charge their duty as citizen as they
had decided.
Weather conditions were good. The
day opened with threatening storm,
but cleared later. The recent storm
had put the country roads in bad
shape, but the size of the vote seems
to indicate that few stayed away
from the polls.
Various comment was heard
around headquarters when the re-
ports seemed to indicate a great Re-
publican victory but the gist of OPP
inion was given by veteran in the
ranks when he said it appeared to
him that America had at last found
herself, and in crisis had proven
again the ability of the people to rule
themselves. He had waited long for
a chance to rejoice in a Republican
victory, and he was thoroughly sat
isfied with the results. Another said,
1.-THE price of wool is going up in the |
morning." What the Democratic YER
sion of the result is could not be |
learned.

CLAIMS ALLOWED
BY CITY COUNCIL
Business Meeting Held
Monday Night by
City Solons

The city council held its regular
meeting on Monday instead Of Tues
day this week, on account of the cleo
ton. L. j. Chapman the city clerk
had resigned to take effect on the
first of November and this acceptance
was carried out by turning the books
over to his successor, j. q. Quillan.
The council rendered vote of thanks
to Mr.. Chapman for his efficient SER
vice and faithful performance of duty
throughout the administration Of
nearly two years and Mr.. Chapman
responded by telling them the work
had been a pleasure to him, that it
had been heavy at times but that
he liked heavy work and that he was
only resigning because the new ar
rangements for handling the water
system would take all of mans
time. He said he had taken consider
able time from the firm for which he
works, the First National Bank, to
do the work of the city clerk and
they had not complained, but that he
believed that they would welcome his
return to full duty at the bank. He
said he was glad to serve the city of
which he was resident and where
he expects to continue to be resi-
dent He had found pleasure in work
ing with the council that had done
such teamwork all the way thru and
had not only talked about doing
things and planned to do things but
were actually doing them.
The council went over the usual
list of bills and ordered them paid
with two or three exceptions. One
was deduction for 81, for what they
called service connection for the
water company done in the month of
October while the water company
was still paying the expenses and TAX
ing the revenues of the business.
There was another little deduction of
a few dollars on account of 20 flush
tanks in operation for which the
water company received pay for
flushing. In the light bills there were
deductions for some lamps that were
burnt out and were out of commits
sion for a part of the time. Otherwise
the bills were allowed as presented
and ordered paid.
A building permit was issued to
L. R. Clegg for the erection of
garage in the Parkinson addition.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES
RULING ON TUITION COST.

BOISE.-The attorney generals
office has ruled that school district
in which the average per capita cost
of high school pupil is excess Of $500
a month, may either exclude nom
resident pupils seeking admission or
admit them upon condition of paying
an additional tuition which would re-
rlove the hardship, but the district
from which the nonresident pupil
comes may not pay in excess Of $500
month. Sentiment is developing for
a change in the school laws which
limits to $500 per month the high
school tuitiil that may be paid for a
student by one district to another
district which have been receiving
students from other districts and
have found this sum too low and are
exercising their privileges Of deciin-
ing to accept stnGer ts at that rate.
