Who Has Risen to High
Position In State.

Col w. 81. Holmes, state superin-
1endent Of game for the department OF
observation, was admitted to the bar
- reaching his majority. His first
4sase was to prove that Z certain mule
aelonged to a certain negro. He won
ahe case.
subsequently in another mule case
uAe proved the animal belonged to an
~sther negro. Then he was elected dis.
uxict attorney, and the first case ne

wsas over the line In Mississippi. he
was going to abandon the case, when

Remarkable Strata.

While drilling test well for Oil
on the Turkey Track ranch near
Spearman, Tex, w. Scott Haywood
and associates discovered a deposit
of salt which is Ill feet thick. This
salt strata was encountered at a
depth Of 700 feet, and what is said
TO be the most remarkable thing about
1t is that no wafer was encountered.
Neither has there been any water
found anywhere else in the well.
which is now at depth Of more
than 2,7OO feet. The fact that there
is no water above the salt bed makes
the mining of the product an easy
matter, 1t is said.

perfection. 1t inaugurated and has
maintained a tendency to sheer mate
rails for many things, and even for tall
ored blouses the styles tend to soft
silks-crepe de chine the favorite-
and thin linens or cottons.
The blouse pictured here Is repre-
sentative of the type that is proving
most popular. 1t is Of georgette with
an effect OF embroidery made by a
soft and very small silk cord, cOuched
down. with few beads introduced In
the design. This COUGHING, combined
with solid embroidery, adorns some OF
the handsomest of the new blouses
and proves an inexpensive decoration.
The round neck and fiaring, split
sleeves are favorites, but necks and
sleeves vary In their treatment. The
round neck divides prestige with the
collar that is high at the back and
ends in square or "V"-shaped open
ing at the front, and sleeves have
many ingenious ways of ending their
somewhat brief careers.

Confer On River Road.

A special meeting Of the com
missioners of the Prairie High
way District was held in this city
yesterday to confer with County
Commissioners White, Mix and
Dixon Of Clearwater county on a
proposition the latter had sub.
mitted relative to the construc.
ton Of a section of the Lewis &
Clark Highway between Greer
and Orofino. State Engineer Os-
born was also in attendance from
Lewiston. This link of road will
be quite expensive to build, but
will be necessary to make an out
let from Greer down the river,
for which the demand is increas-
ed by the completion of the er-
cellent five-per cent grade into
Greer tapping the rich timber
and farming domain north and
east of that place.
While no official action was
taken at this meeting, a definite
understanding was had and this
district and county will be asked
to contribute $4,000 for that par
ticular piece of highway.

Lewis County Budget for Saliva.
ton Army is $1,000.

Preliminary arrangements will
be completed this week for an or
ganization to conduct a campaign
for the budget of the Salvation
Army. When this budget is rails
ed will leave the officers free
to conduct their other duties
without the continual solicitation
from store to store, poolroom to
poolroom, inasmuch as this bud
get will provide for all the neces-
sary expense required to carry on
the work for the coming year.
The Rescue Home at Boise was
officially opened on Saturday and
it is already full and waiting
list. 1t is the opinion of the Ida
no officials that it is but mat
ter of a short time till other
homes will have to be opened in
other sections of this state. Poe
atello and Lewiston, or Moscow,
will in all probability be the
places chosen. E. l.. Graves, who
will be remembered during the
Campaign three years ago will be
here again to organize your coun-
ty. there being no professional
campaigners engaged. This is
purely an Idaho Campaign for
the people of Idaho, by the peo-
pie of Idaho.
The quota for Lewis county is
81, 900, instead of $125O, as was
first given out before the final

Benz, the Potato Man, Coming.

Lewis county is said to provide
one of the best seed potato dis.
tricts in the Northwest. Her pro.
duct is clear of disease and the
great potato-producing areas in
the irrigated districts are ready
to take all the seed that this
county will supply once the ar
rangements are made for their
proper production, handling and
shipment. Interest in this line
has been largely augmented dur
ing the past summer by County
Agent Behnke and others, and
this will be much helped by the
promised visit during the early
part of December of F. Benz, the
Yakima notato king, who is no
stranger to our countv he having
talked potatoes to our people
some months ago.
The information was received
the first of the week tho II Ill
deliver addresses on potato cul-
ture, etc, in this county as fol-
lows:

The Fifth Annual Roll Cali Of
the American Red Cross will b,
held from Nov. 1lth, AlmisticC
Day to Thanksgiving Day
The Lewiston Chapter of the
American Red Cross. which EN-
braces the counties of Idaho
Lewis and Nez Perez, has a high
rating among the chapters of the
northwest, and has received ma.
tional recognition for its Home
Service activities. In addition to
this, the chapter has developed
Public Health work to very
high degree and, cooperating
with the counties, now maintains
a public health nurse in each OF
the counties.
Another activity in which the
chapter has accomplished much,
isthat Of the Civilian Relief. Ac-
cording to the secretary's report
32S cases were handled during
the past year, involving an ex-
penditure of $2,425.97 for actual
relief of families and individuals
and expenses of administration.
1t is interestin gto note, that
during the past year, in the three
counties, over four thousand chill
dren were examined for physical
defects by the nurSes-230
schools were visited -210l visits
were made to homes and 354 cas-
es were handled, including sur
gical dressings, bedside nursing
and assistance rendered during
operations.
This remarkable record bears
evidence of returns to the citi-
zens from their investment of
past years in our Red Cross work.
A large part of the receipts of the
coming Red Cross Roll Call will
be devoted to the continuation of
this splendid service to our citi-
zens, and it is imperative that the
people of the three counties, sup
port the organization Loyalty, if
the Public Health work, Home
Service, Civilian Relief and other
activities of the Red Cross are to
be continued.
AS in the past years, member
ships are as follows:
