FEDERAL AID
MUST COME
IS THE OPINION OF ENGI.
NEER OSBORN OR ROAD
WORK WILL STOP.

District Engineer VIM. Osborn
recently of the fifth district
now in charge of the Lewiston
office (sixth district) of the
bureau of highways, in COM
menting on the present situation
strongly urges the need of ac-
tive support of all citizens of the
legislation now pending before
congress. The bill pending
would appropriate 100000, 900.
which would give Idaho So, 1885,
900 for the next two years, and
incidentally give the state a road
program altogether of some
thing over $6,000,000 for the
next two years.
Mr.. Osborn feels that federal
aid for highways must be con-
tinued if road work throughout
the country is not to be given a
serious setback. He calls at
tention to the fact that, in 1916,
congress passed a federal road
act providing that the govern
ment appropriate for post roads
the sum of $4,000, 900, and for
forest roads $10,00O,00O, and lat
er, by rider of the postoffice ap-
preparation bill, an additional
5000, 900 was appropriated for
federal aid of rural post roads.
Under the apportionment basis
adopted, Idaho's allotment of
post road aid was SO, 800 1856.
Spread over the fiscal years end
ing June 80, 1917, 1918 1920, 49,
21, or for a five-year period, and
approximately 81, 100000 forest
aid was allotted to Idaho, spread
over the fiscal years ending
June 80, 1917 to 1926, inclusive.
A chart has been prepared
showing the status of federal aid
funds by states. According to
this, Idaho hss projects approx
ed by the federal government, up
to February %, 1921, of $3,OO0,-
600, and since that date Idaho
has taken advantage of all the
post road money available, which
is $3,360,3 1886.
At the last general election,
the citizens voted a $4,000, 900
bond issue for the purpose of i'm
proving state highways. In the
recent session of the legislature,
an act was passed which provi-
des that rs percent of the pro-
ceeds of the Idaho state highway
bond fourth issue shall be allott-
ed to state highway purposes in
each county. provided that the
ratio in which state highways
are designated is the ratio that
the total assessed valuation OF
each respective county for the
year 1920 bears to the total as.
sessed valuation of the state OF
Idaho for the year 1921; alse
that 1212 percent of these funds
shall be expended on the north
and south highway in the neu.
tral zone between the east forl
of the Weiser river in Adems
county and Whitebird in Idaho

DEATH CALLS
YOUNG WOMAN
GERTRUDE STOLZ, AGE 81
DIES OF VEGETABLE
POISONING.

Miss Gertrude Stolz, oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Stolz, of the Greencreek section,
passed away at the home of her
parents, Monday morning at
8:15 after an illness of only a
weeks duration, the direct cause
of her death being vegetable
poisoning.
On the 23rd day of April,
while preparing a meal for the
day the young lady took jar of
home canned beans from the
shelf which she intended to pre-
pare for the meal, and as her
sense of smell was never very
good, sampled the beans by tas-
ting them and found that they
We're spoilt. Little was thought
of the incident until the follow
ing Monday when she was COM
PEELED to remain in bed, being
afflicted by what was thought
to be tonsilitis by members of
her family, her throat becoming
effected from the poisoned beans
From the first day she went to
bed she gradually grew worse
and DR.. Orr was summoned and
pronounced the case a serious
one, the poison having by this
time circulated through her en-
tire system, everything possible
was done to save her life.
Gertrude Stolz, was born near
Greencreek on October 6, 1900,
and besides her parents leaves
six sisters and three brothers to
mourn her untimely death. They
are: Antoniette, Ernestine, Rosa
liza, Hildegard, Petsomilia, Marie,
Henry, Leonard, and Albert
Stolz, all of whom are living with
their parents.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock
from the Catholic church at
Greencreek, with the Rev. FIR.
Baerlocher in charge. The SER
vices were attended by hundreds
of friends, who wished to pay
their last respect to the noble
young woman, the funeral pro-
cession, it is said, was one of the
largest ever held in the Green
creek section.
During her life she had form
ed wide circle of friends who
join with her relatives in this
hour of mutual affliction. En-
dowed with a sunny and grac-
ious disposition, womanly in all
things and loyal to the teachings
and ideals of her religion and of
a homecircle builded round the
heart of human kindness she was
known and loved by everyone

ACQUITTED ON
Theft CHARGE
COURT INSTRUCTED JURY
IN CASE OF TIPTON
AND TALBOT.

Judge Wallace N. Scales advis-
ed the jury to return a verdict
of not guilty in the case of Carl
Upton and Platt Talbot jr..
charged with cattle stealing, in
district court, Tuesday morning.
The judge declared, if the jury
did not comply with his recon-
mendation, and returned a ver-
dict finding one or both defend
ants guilty, he would set the
verdict aside.
The court declared the state
had not introduced sufficient
evidence to warrant a conviction.
The states principal evidence,
Judge Scales remarked, was that
given by Dave Daniels, a Chero-
kee Indian, but Daniels was
drunk when he testified, the
court said, and his evidence
would not stand in case of con-
viction of the defendants, and
appeal to the supreme court.
Who Owned The Cow.
The court remarked that a
cow, which Upton and Talbot
were alleged to have stolen,
evidently had been stolen by
some one, but the state had
neither proved the ownership of
the COW, nor did evidence exist
that either Upton or Talbot had
stolen the COW.
The court said it would be un-
fair to send either defendant to
the penitentiary on the scant
evidence introduced, and then re-
commended that the jury return
a verdict of not guilty.
Frank E. Wyatt was the COM
planning witness. 1t was claim
ed Mr.. Wyatt was owner of the
cow in question.
Upton and Talbot were re-
presented by Attys. NJ. r. Hat
tabaugh and F. f. Fogg, while
the prosecution was conducted
by Prosecuting Attorney B.
Anger, assisted by Atty. E. M.
Griffith.
On motion of the state, anoth-
er case against Upton charged
with a similar offence, was dis
missed.

'The Boys Got the Leaders Of

1t Is Added.

DUBLIN, Jan. s.-Charges Of the
most serious nature were brought out
to-day at the opening of the trial of
Father Dominic, former Chaplain to
Lord Mayor ManSwiney, accused of
statements likely to cause disaffec-
tion to His Majesty" These occur in
documents alleged to have been writ
ten by the priest or TO have been il
his possession, and were read before
the field general court martial which
is conducting the trial. The reading
OF the documents caused a sensation
iwAire court room.
The charges are based on certain
passages in a notebook and in a
letter. It was declared in advance Of
the trial that the accused priest
would maintain that the passages in
the notebook were dictated to him
by Lord Mayor MacSwiney in the
presence Of Brixton prison author-
ties for transmission to MacSwineys
friends, and that the letter was a
private communication to a friend in
England.
The reading OF the documents con-
stituted the first evidence submitted
by the authorities at the trial. Father
Dominic refused to recognize the
court, but reserved the right to cross
examine witnesses and to make a
statement after the close OF the pro-
N .1n 90
not guilty for him.
The letter on which the first charge
against Father Dominic is based is
alleged to have been written by him
Nov. 20 TO a friend. This letter,
which was superscribed Franciscan
Capuchin Friary, Cork" touches on
the activities OF the militant Sim
Feiners, execrates the Crown forces
and refers to the recent tragic Sun
day in Dublin, when fourteen British
court-martial officers were assassi-
mated, as a terrible but wonderful
day"
The letter asserts that the boys
got the leaders Of the B. and 7.
CBlack and Tam reprisals," and goes
on to say that the Croke Park shoot
ing which followed the killing of the
auxFHary officers was "ordered as a
reprisal by Macready, Tudor and
the remnant Of the Reprisal Com
mittee." (Gen. Sir Nevil Macready
is Military Commander OF ireland
and Gen. H. NJ. Tudor is commander
of the Black and Tans or auxiliary
forces.)

j. S. NAVY AIRMEN
IN TATTERS; WEAK
FROM LACK OF FOOD
One BallooniSt Said to Have
Been Barefooted When
First Found.
ONE "WAS ALL IN"
They Are Expected Tonight
at Mattice, 40 Miles West
of CoChrane, Ont.

More details are expected to be re-
celved here to-day Of the sufferings
Of the u. S. Navy balloonists now
making their way out Of the woods
of Northern Canada. This, It is hoped.
will supplement an account contained
in a letter just given out by John NJ
Revillon, of this city.
The letter, which is dated at Moose,
Ont, Dec. 10. reads as follows:
Thomas Mark picked up three
strange fellows down at about Mid
dleboro some place who turned out
to be three American Naval Service
men who went up in a balloon on
Monday afternoon, the 18th, over
New York, making observations for
the United States Government
They lot carried away in a gale,
finally landing about p. NJ. ON
Tuesday. the 14th, some fifteen or
twenty miles back in the bush Of
Nicholson's Creekway. They had not
seen any signs Of anything at ali in
that distance, but eventually heard
some dogs bark as, they passed over
here and, commencing to descend as
fast as possible, landed back here in
the bush.
Using the balloons compass they
steered a course back due southeast
and came out at the mouth of Mich
olson's Creek Seeing Tom Mark on
the ice about Middleboro, the young
est of them ran across to him and he
up to the Hudson Bay Company and
they sent a team down to get the
other two.
"one Of them was all in, not having
had anything to. eat but two carrier
pigeons, which they happened to have
with them in the balloon. Their
clothing was all torn to pieces, one Of
them arriving in his underwear, haV-
ing torn his pants up to wrap on their
feet. They say one was in his bare
feet.
Mr.. Gaudet and three men left
early yesterday morning with two
dog teams TO go in to find the balloon,
though | hear they are not going to
bother with II, so l presume the Hud-
son Bay Company is going to try and
get 1t out, as there will be a lot Of
silk tent in it. 1t Is supposed to be
worth about $1,000, though they had
to throw everything away possible to
tighten up 30 as to stay in the air till
they saw some sign of civilization.
