states were admitted, the first Of
which was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturers must
have been kept busy turning out new
flags with the proper number of stars.
Idaho is very mountainous and the
name is derived from the Shoshone
Indian word meaning "gem of noun
tains."
The first white explorers were I'M
doubtedly Lewis and Clark on their
memorable trip in 1S04-5.
Idaho was part Of Oregon terri
tory, which was Jointly occupied by
British and Americans until the
Treaty of 1916 definitely turned over
to the United States the country south
Of the 10th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organized as a territory, with an
area three times the size of the pres
ent state, as it included Montana and
part of Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory by IT.
self, and in 1868 Wyoming was organ
lied so that in 1890 when Idaho was
admitted as the forty-third state of
the Union, Its area was reduced to
S3,SSS square miles. Even so it ranks
as the eleventh state in size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho was
due to the discovery of gold, the same
cause which so rapidly built up the
adjacent states. 1t was in 1882 that
gold was found at Occur d'Alene In
the northern part of the state, and
miners Immediately focked to the
state in great numbers. In fact, both
placer and quartz gold mines are
found In every county of the state,
and in addition, the lead-silver district
in Shoshone county is considered one
of the richest in the United States.
There was serious labor trouble In
the Occur d'Alene section in 1892 and
again in 1899, when martial law was
established until peace between the
miners and mine owners was effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in the
list of states according to population,
and accordingly has but four presiden-
tial electors. But the state is devel-
oping rapidly.

@AAN second state Of the

%1N ISNwith two Of our
VIZ ~m Presidents. The first
@SaeS%SW is obvious, for it was
1IM2 in honor of our first
President, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a lasting me-
mortal to this great soldier-statesman
But the actual fate of this region was
due to President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for cleo
ton In 1874.
Previous to that time, the country
north of California and extending to
Alaska, which was then owned by
Russia, was called the Oregon terri
tory. Claim was laid to this region
by both Great Britain and the United
States as has been seen in the story
of Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the United
States was settled, this line was def
nitely placed from the Atlantic coast to
the Rocky mountains. But no agree
ment could be reached west Of that,
and 1t was left under an arrangement
whereby this territory was to be joint
ly occupied by the British and Ameri-
cans.
Settlers from the United States be-
gan to come into the Northwest in
such numbers that the United States
felt that they should own this section,
which included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and British
Columbia, through the right Of posses
sion. Agitation in favor of actively
pushing our claims became so strong
that when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1874, one of the main
planks in the party platform was the
famous one popularity called FIFTY
four forty or fight This meant that
the United States was determined to
annex this territory as far north as
dIdlIeI of ueSTeeb AZ minutes, WHICH
was the lower boundary Of Alaska, or
fight for It's possession. Like many
party planks, this one was not fol-
lowed, although Polk was elected. In
stead In 1846 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a compro-
mise basis, which made the boundary
run along the 10th parallel, and thus
was added to the United States an
area equal to six times the size of
New York state.
In 1858 Washington territory was
separated from Oregon. 1t did not,
however, become a state until 1889,
and then only after thirteen years pc
titioning for admission.

RAID ON MILK CANS
 TO PURVEY ALCOHOL
Two More Soiled by Use as Stills; Second Arrest Reveals Fears for
 the City's Milk Business
rFrom Thursdays Daily)

If alleged manufacturers of alco- holic liquor persist in using milk cans for alleged stills, indications are that the dairying business in Pres colt will suffer. Yesterday afternoon Deputies Grant Carter and Jim Cook repeated their performance of the previous night, by bringing into the sheriffs office two cans ostensibly designed for the pure purpose of conveying milk to thirsty babes, but said to have had their original char acter perverted into service as stills. The milk cans were accompanied to the office by a pint of white mule and by Juan Tapai, against whom a charge of being in possession of a still was lodged.
 The arrest of Tapai and the con- fiscation of the perverted milk can were said by representatives of the sheriff's office to have come as a re- suit of a surveillance of Tapai's place at 330 West Aubrey street. It is understood that he has previously es- caped arrest by reason of protesta- tions that the property on which the milk cans were found did not belong to him, one of these occasions be- ing last July when two double stills were found in the house. The two milk cans, copper coils, a copper cooler, liquor, and two 50-gallon bar rels of barley mash were listed as the net result of yesterdays visit to the Aubrey street place.

ENGINEERS TO
 REPORT ARENTz
 MINE FINDINGS
Saturday Nights Session of Lo- cal A. A. E. Will Determine Attitude on Proposed New Code as Requested of Them
(From Thursdays Daily)

Further light on the Arentz mining law code bill will be available here Saturday evening, when the Pres cott chapter, American Association of Engineers meets to hear a formal report on the measure, prepared by "a special committee at the request of the Journal-Miner.
 The report, it is understood, will voice the opposition of the commit tee to some sections of the measure, which was introduced by Congress man Samuel L. Arentz of Nevada by request. Opposition to the bill is the outstanding feature of every dis cussion Of it in the west, it is said, for the reason that 1t would entirely eliminate the incentive to individual work and the development by the prospector of the new ore districts. Congressmen Arentz and Hayden both consulted the Journal Miner about the sentiment here on the bill, and so far as can he learned, this newspaper is the only one that has taken the matter up with any organi- zation capable of passing on it.
 It was submitted by President Homer R. Wood of the local chapter
  some time ago and thoroughly dis cussed. At that time, the committee was named to draft a formal report that would eventually carry the views of the organization.
 The Journal-Miner will transmit that report to the congressman.

SHIP-SIZE ROCKS ARE HURLED IN THE AIR BY

(Associated Press)

TOXIC, Sept 28. - (By Mail) - Showers of rocks larger than ships were hurled from a raging volcano on Kamchatka where a terrible and magnificent volcano phenomenon oc- cured, in August recalling the primi- tive days of the formation of the earth. After having been wrecked and washed away on the shore of Kamchatka Frederick Mccormick, a well known American newspaper cor respondent, witnessed the extraor- dinary eruption.
 In a report to the Japan Adver- tiser, MT. Mccormick says: "On ar irving at Hakodate, in northern Japan, I heard from fisherman of an earthquake above Hokkaido and the disappearance in the sea, Sep tember 5, of a part of the island of the Kurile group. The earthquake extended from Hokkaido to the Aleu- tlanS and was but a prolongat1on of the seismatic phenomena occurring in Kamchatka, where I was wreck ed on the Kronotsky peninsula. Ten days later, 60 sea miles to the south, I found myself at Semlachik, from where I saw the magnificent erup- ton of the volcano Karimskaya.

Grim Old Mars Object of Re marks on Arms Limitation Conference, by Three Men at B. P. w. C. Meeting

Interpretations of the Washington conference on the limitation of arma- ments were given by Attorney AL fred Gale, Dr. H. T. Southworth and Prof. s. H. Martin, in talks last night before the members of the Business and Professional Women's club. There was a large attendance of members at the meeting, as well as a number of guests.
 Discussing the conference, and war in itself, from the point of view of the soldier, Attorney Gale pie tured the thoughts of the soldier in the front line trenches, and the at titude of the returning soldier to war. As he pictured it, it is an at titude opposed to war, yet conscious that wars will always exist. Effort against the recurrence of armed con however, will be encour- aged even by those who believe them doomed to eventual failure.

Almost Lightning-Like Rapidity Marks Travels of This Free
 and Unshackled Denizen of Cedars to Cell of Moonshiner
(From Friaay's Dailyl

Fast work marked the transition of Jose Duran from the status of a free and untrammeled mediator up on hillsides to a captive of the law. Arrested for manufacturing liquor on Wednesday evening, he faced the court yesterday morning with plea of guilty. He was sentenced to six months in the county jail and to pay a fine of $500.
 Duran was found exercising the forbidden prerogative of purging the moisture from a fermented comp ound. He was using that well known method of fractional distilla- ton which is termed in slang moon shining. The glare of the fire by which he was producing liquor lighted the cedared hills of Punten- ney until a couple of officers arrived and put his fire out and him in.

Only the flowery crest of the eruption was visible to us as it played against the sky. The smoke column, tilted southward by the wind, reached upwards thousands of feet and in two days the smoke cloud extended 100 miles down the coast and out to sea.
 Then the wind shifted to the west and the ship was sprinkled with vol canic dust. There was a great roar like the sound of an artillery battle, and it was reported that the water of Kronotsky bay had risen in tenn perature 5H degrees while magnetic disturbances rendered the ships compass unavoidable Fearing a sub terranean sea-wave we put out 45 miles off the shore and on Septem- Der , recorded violent earthquake which shook the ship.

WITH 4 DUMB WAITER COSTS
 OFFENDER 10 BONES
CFrom Tuesdays Dailyy

The dumb-waiter made its first and last appearance at the court house Joe Pelopez yesterday paid the county Sl0 for the privilege of trying 1t cut, and decided that the experiment wasn't worth it. Under sheriff Joe Furst found Pelopez in the plaza letting out a "Heave-ho!" to a friend in cell No. 4, just as said friend was in the act of hauling up the piece of string which constituted the dumb-waiter. At the end of the string was an innocent package of Fatimas intended for the man at the No. 4 end.
 But objections instead of the were raised. Pelopez was given to understand that in the first place, talking with prisoners from outside the court house and without proper permission is contrary to law; in the second place that if gifts are intended for prisoners they must enter the jail through regular chan nels; and in the third place that even an innocent piece of string might be used to raise other things than a package of Fatimas - nor phine, for instance; or a six-shooter, or a file or saw-blade. So Pelopez was haled before Justice of the Peace McLane and paid his fine.

GROWN KING ID
 LOSE CONSTABLE
 GAINS DEPUTY
(From Tuesdays Daily)


 Jack Shearer will lose his job as a constable in this county.
 But he is going to do this in order to be appointed a special deputy sheriff by Sheriff Warren G. Davis, who yesterday applied to the board of supervisors for the change.
 The protection of ranges is the ob- ject of the change. Sheep and cattle controversies in that great territory between Congress Junction and Canon are to be viewed from close up by the county through Shearer, who will resign his post as constable at Crown King in order to accept ap- pointment as a deputy. When the sheep and cattle movements are com pleted, he will return to Crown King, but not as constable, unless he prefers it that way. There being a vacancy, the board can then return him to office, if that procedure is thought best.
 The conference between the sheriff and board is one of the first in a long time, and although 1t centered around the matter of appointment of a deputy sheriff, there was no dis pute about it as was the case nearly a year ago when the two offices broke out in almost open warfare.
