.GRANGEV|[LE
HOOPS TE RS
Won FRIDAY.
Tossers Have Real Tussle
With Little Team; Giles
Hero of Visiting Five.

Nosing out Craigmont high in a
last minute rally, Grangeville high
school basket-tossers added another
victory to their string Friday even
ing before an excited crowd. The two
teams ranged even until the last sew
eral minutes of play, when Grange
vile came from behind and dropped
in five baskets, enough to- win, 2S-19.
The Grangeyille team, playing its
third game of the week, was forced
TO step on it to win. The score at the
end of the first half stood 10 to II in
favor of the locals. At the end of the
third quarter, Craigmont led 1918
and the Grangeville quintet was wor-
ried. SO was the crowd. 1t was no
place for nervous person, when
Eimers and Heath dropped in two
baskets each and Burrows one, just
before the final whistle.
Giles Shining Light
The outstanding playing ability of
Charles Giles, Craigmont's wizard
center and star .on the Grangeville
team last season won rne hearts of
the spectators Giles was pivot of his
team, the leader of every offensive
play and bulwark at defense. 1t
was really game of Giles VS..
Grangeville And nearly victorious
Giles.
Visitors Disappointed
A little argument that might have
spoiled the game, was ended in a
friendly manner a few minates after
the start of the start of the game
when the umpire called a foul. on a
Grangeville player. The coaches of
each team were firm. and neither
woud give in till at the request of the
captains of the Craigmont and
Grangeville teams, the game was
started over, as neither team had
scored.
Cyril Bassinger refereed good
game, but because of the little row
in the first half, the visitors were
inclined TO find fault with lhi him.
With six straight wins, Grange
Vile will meet Cottonwoou, their an
cient rivals, at Cottonwood January
2. Cottonwood lost most of their
letter men last season and the locals
are doped to add another victory to
their growing string.

BLOWN To ATOMS
ON ON SOUTH FORK
Popular And Well Liked
Man Meets With Sudden
Death At Road Camp.

Howard Linville, age AZ, was kill
ed instantly and his head blown off
when n dynamite charge he was
lighting exlode in his face on the
South Fork of the Clearwater Friday
Linville was employed as powder man
by the Doust & DeCamp Construc-
tion Co. The only witness to the ac-
cident was Geonard Blankenship, his
assistant, who was helping Linville
at the time of the explosion.
The powder men, according to Ed
Hensley, a sub-contractor who was
working just above the scene Of the
explosion had finished loading a
coyote hole" in a rock bluff with
twelve sticks of dynamite, capped,
and fixed with a fuse about eighteen
inches in length. Linyilie had been
doing the lighting of the fuses in the
powder work as he was more exper-
fenced and very careful. He told
Blankenship to walk away, as he was
ready to light. Bankenship started a.
way as Linville bent over the charge
with a lighted candle, but was not
able to get over ten feet from the
charge before it exploded.
Blown Forty Feet
He was knocked over by the force
of the blast and Linville was blown
forty feet. 1t is pointed out that the
fuse is timed to burn at the rate of
one and one half minutes to the foot
of fuse and appal emily the fuse
burned the entire length before Lin
Vile could move away; or in several
seconds instead of the anticipated
time.
Other workmen not far above the
powder men, were summoned by
Blankenship, at once, but Linville
had been killed instantly by the force
of the explosion. His head was blown
off, fragments of his skull were
blown over 100 feet and his body
badly mangled.
Popular With Men
The deceased man was very popu-
lar with fellow-workers at the high
way camp and elsewhere. He had
been employed by tho Camas Prairie
Railway during the summer and was
known as n conscientious worker and
was a man of excellent habits.
His parents are located in Oregon
and brothers and sisters, residing at
Nampa and near Boise. The relatives
have been notified of Linville's death,
but it is doubtful II they have been
located. as TO date, none have ans
wered the messages sent to them.
Cunty Coroner Il. S. Hancock and
deputy sheriff b. f. Robertson went
TO the scene of the accident imme-
diatey after it happened, but be-
cause of the clearness or the case.
no investigation was held by the
county officials. Members of the high
way crew are very depressed over
the loss of comrade and speak on
Iy highest praise for the character
and friendliness of the deceased.

A CHAPTER OF WAR HISTORY
BY GeorgeE
he BnkL o
The National City Bank Of New York

as it was necessary for the purchases
of those governments in this country
to continue, it was quickly decided that
all interests would be best served by
by having the United States Govern
ment finance such expenditures itself
That was the end of foreign hotations
in this country until after the war.
By the time the United States Treas
ury was ready to take over the full bur.
den of payments on account of British
purchases, which was month or Sc
after the Uniled States declared war,
the demand loan had increased to ap-
proxirnately $401000,000, which was
the high point, with collateral still
approximately double that amount
The statement that this loan was
taken over by the United States Treas
ury is a mistake, so. far as the bankers
have any knowledge of it. They never
approached the Treasury or had any
negotiations with the Treasury on the
subject, nor did they ever make any
demand on the British Treasury for the
payment of the loan. 1t was paid
gradually, from funds accumulated by
the British Treasury with J. P. Morgan
& Co., but this account was constantly
receiving funds from various sources,
as the sale of securities, the sale of
exchange, transfers from a Bank of
England account with the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York, ETC., and at
the same time was being drawn upon
for current payments by the British
disbursing officials. That the United
States Treasury came to the support
of the British Treasury at that time,
is, of course, common knowledge, and
that some of the funds used in liquidat-
ing this loan may have come from that
source is possible. AS to this we have
no knowledge but the payment of the
loan was in no degree dependent upon
receipts from that source.
The essential facts are that this loan
was amply secured with collateral of
American origin, that the lending bank
ers had no occasion for anxiety about
it, and that they did not turn it over
to the United States Treasury. It's
payment was not dependent upon this
country's entering the war, or upon any
resources of Great Britain other than
the collateral. There never was time
in the life of the loan when II could
not have been liquidated from the pro-
ceeds of the collateral.
Of course, the whole miserable story
of the influence of the bankers for the
entrance of this country into the war
falls when the alleged motive for it
disappears. 1t had its origin some
where among the people who like to
believe that sort of thing. The master
mind of the war policy unquestiorlably
was that of the President, whose char
acter and memory need no defense
against the calunlny.

Vocational School
Secures Architect
Accepts Plan for Building Heating
Plant With Provision That 1t
Meet With Building Plans.

A communication sent to the school
board this morning by Z. F. Randall
acting for the vocational board of
education, accepted the plan for the
public school board to erect the heat
ing plant which is to be used for the
new high school and the new voca-
tional school providing that 1t is to
be built so that it will fall in with
the architecture of the new proposed
vocational school. 1t was reported
that the vocational board had already
taken steps to secure an architect for
the new vocational school building
and that there should be a conference
of the two architects before definite
plans for the heating plant are adopted.
Originally it was planned for the vo-
.cational board to erect the heating
plant, but since this is needed not
later than next year in order that the
new high school building may be heat
ed and since the vocational school
building will not be started at that
time the school board has agreed to
take over the erection Of the building.
The vocational school board also
asks for data regarding the maximum
number of pupils who will be enrolled
from the high school in vocational
subjects in order that they may plan
accordingly in the erection of their
new building.

you want, we'll pay for it," instructed
the promoters.
The good Mr.. Bonds, it appeared,
had not been eating regularly, and
he made the most of this Elysian
opportunity. Thick steaks and Idaho
potatoes added plenty to his vitality.
This and the considerate attitude of
the promoters prompted Mr.. Bonds to
fight his best.
The result was Mr. Bonds did not
dive in the first round as had been
anticipated. The fight, which was ex-
pected to introduce Martin as new
punching sensation, dragged along I'M
til the eleventh round.
Mr.. Bonds, aged and decrepit, was
the hero of the affair, and it took
a lot of explaining to keep Martin
in the headlines.

By George E. Roberts

A few words of explanation about
these securities is necessary. After
the exhaustion of the proceeds of the
Anglo-French loan of $500,000,0O0 the
British Government continued to cover
its purchases in this country by ship
ments of gold and by sales in this mar
ket of American securities which it
procured from British holders. Laws
were passed by the British Parliament
creating inducements for the British
owners of such securities to convey
them either temporarily or permanently
to the British Government, for the
purpose of aiding in financing its pur-
clases in the United States, and very
large amounts were obtained in this
manner.
These securities, which had been I'M
der accumulation by British investors
insurance companies, investment COM
panies, individual investors, etc.-in all
the years since British investments in
this country began, were of very high
CldSS-llldlly VI IiiCA1A uliuCl lylhS pO1iuo
of the oldest and strongest railroads,
and in general collection of securities
which for the most part had been in
frequently seen in the markets in re-
cent years, being held as permanent in-
vestments.
These securities were sent to the
New York representatives of the Brit
ish Treasury, ]. P. Morgan & Co., to
be sold or used as collateral for loans.
Several time-loans were issued on such
security and distributed on the public
market, ard in all more than $1,000
100000 of the securities were sold by
]. P. Morgan & Co. Obviously, how
ever, sales had to be made at low prices
compared with the prices which these
securities had commanded before the
war. and it was desirable that they
should not be pressed for sale faster
than the market could absorb them
without depressing prices still further.
To avoid doing this, the demand loan
was resorted to as affording some latl-
tude in making sales and in the selec-
ton of dates for offering time-loans
to the public. The demand loan was
shared in by a selected list OF the
larger banks, in and outside OF New
York. At the time the United States
entered the war this loan was APP
proxinately $545,000,000, and was Sc
cured by collateral of the kind de-
scribed above, having market value
at the time of about $700,0OO'000,
and readily salable.
When the United States entered the
war the Government at Washington I'M
mediately assumed supervision over the
security markets in order to mobilize
the financial resources of the country
in the most effective manner. t did
not want fotations, even by the gov
ernments associated with it in the war,
which might interfere with its own
plans for bond offerings, and inasmuch

State RecIassifies
All Cars for 1925

Madison.--Alf Ford touring cars
will be licensed in class "B" in 1925
and unless they have reached the age
limit of five years, the license fee will
be $11. This is in accordance with a
decision made by Secretary of State,
Fred r. Zimmerman.
In the instructions contained in
the new rate book just compiled, 1t is
announced that all Ford roadsters will
be licensed in class "A" for $40, all
Ford touring cars and Ford coupes in
class "B" for $11, and all Ford sedans
in class "B" for $12.
Last year a distribution was made
between Frod touring cars equipped
with self-starter and demountable
rims and those that were not so equip
ped, the former licensed in class OBJ,
and the others in class "A". This re-
suited in much confusion and a great
many errors. An investigation proves
that nearly every car is considerably
heavier when equipped for the road
than the shipping weight given by the
manufacturer.
The law provides that the license
fee shall be based upon the weight Of
the cheicle equipped for the road,
which includes the weight of the gas,
water, oil and accessories, which is
never included in the shipping weight
by the manufacturer.
Mr.. Zimmerman explained that the
confusion resulting from licensing
some Ford touring cars in class "A"
and others class "B", was very annoy
ing both to the police and to his de-
partnent. This will be avoided by
making the license fee uniform for
each class of cars.
