going over officers records and de-
Gliding which officers are to be re-en-
rolled. During the last half or lS20
approximately 2.090 officers and 21.OOO
men were given active training duty,
varying from fifteen days to three
months. The lack of training facilities
this year, together with the limited
mileage appropriations in prospect,
may prevent the training of the de-
sired number of reservists. AS the
season for training a citizen navy Is
practically confined to the summer, it
is the hope of officers interested in
building up the reserve that Congress
will take steps to provide sufficient
training funds SO that the training OF
reservists will not be impeded. The
following naval districts are pro-
posed: Boston, Philadelphia. Hamp-
ton Roads. Charleston. Key West. New
Orleans, Great Lakes. San Diego and
Bremerton. Wash.
Judgment in Purchnse of Fuel.
That excellent judgment was used in
the Navy's procurement Of fuel last
year, despite the somewhat drastic
methods adopted. is evidenced by a
wholesome effect which was reflected in
the bids received last week. for it de-
veloped that many of the prices bid
were the same as those of present con-
tracts. and the bids are identical with
those at which coal was Communicated
by the department last year. Whlle
this weapon has been removed from the
hands sof the department, nevertheless
its lessons remain in the minds of the
contractors, for the bids received run
as low as s33s ton at the mines The
bids for fuel oil cover west coast
needs, while the coal bids are Tor the
entire Navy for the next three or six
months. as the case may be. The COM
petition developed that there IS plenty
of coal available and that operators are
eager to obtain the governments busi-
ness, apparently holding no i'll VIII be
cause of the Communicating policy IN
yoked last year, despite the threats
made in some quarters that the opera
tors would carry their grievances to the
Court of Claims.

PLAY WAS SUCCESS
Rathdrum Home Talent Won
Applause Dec. 3lst.

A crowded house greeted the
home talent presentation Of the g.
act farce, of Smith leaving home,
at Fraternal hall last Friday even
ing, and Judging from the laughter
and applause elected and the
comments heard, everybody pres
ent seems to have received full
measure of enjoyment. Perhaps il
might be said Rathdrum's anna
teurs, although having reputa-
tion for histrionic ability of high
order, never were more successful
in their stage work.
In the role of John Smith, Clorin
Layton had difficult part and ac-
quilted himself with almost pro-
fesslonal skill. N. II. Taylor, in
the character of the Frenchman,
Gen. Billetdoux, was at his best,
his personal appearance embellish
ed with red hair, moustache and
goatee, and his accent and manner
those of the French gallant. Mrs.
Gladys Taylor, as Mrs. Smith,
Miss Edna Layton as Mrs. Billet
doux, and Mrs. Marian Clumpner
as Miss Smith, also had difficult
parts, which they interpreted with
their accustomed ability. Miss
Dorothy McCoid, as the "cook
lady" dominating the cuisine ar
rangemeat of the Smith household,
playe6Sa fine comedy part, while
Frank Webster brought down the
house by his good Interpretation of
the character of the German count.
Col. w. H. Edelblute entered with
spirit into the role of the major,
the generals pal in "the old guard
that never surrenders. Lighter
parts we're we'll taken by Miss
Esther Hasse, John Hurrell,
Louise Bradbury and Hazel Nc
Cheyne.
N. H. Taylor, who directed the
play, has been receiving many
congratulations on the success OF
the undertaking.

STATE WINS SUIT
Stops Lumber Company From
Misuse Of Park.

Boise, Ida.-Judgment for tie
state OF Idaho has been given in
two cases involving the operation
of lumber companies in Hepburn
park, it was announced from the
office off, Roy l., Black, attorney
general. The cases were, State
Of Idaho VS. Fred Herrick and tbs
Milwaukee Lumber company, and
the state OF idaho VS.. Fred Herrlck
and the Export Lumber company.
Both cases have attracted con-
siderable attention, as they involv.
ed the use@of natural waters in the
state for thestransportation OF
lumber and the validity Of contracts
entered into by the state with
private corporations.
The cases we're tried in the court
for the Eighth judicial district at
Cnur d,Alene, by Judge Dunn,
September 20, 1920, and the judg-
ment handed down by him was his
last official act as district judge
prior to taking his seat on the
supreme bench.
In the case Of the state VS.. Fred
Herrick and the Milwaukee Lunl
Der company the. state charged
that the defendants had been usiI &
the waters Of Hepburn park in the
transportation Of lumber, in an NJ
reasonable and improper manner,
TO such an extent as to interfere
with the use Of the park as public
place and in violation of the park
rules and regulations.
