Snow Throws Local
Train OFF the Rails

The local branch line train was
derailed between Richland and
Peerless Saturday on account of
the drifts Of snow and ice. The
mixed train seemingly jumped the
track and rolled across the right
of-way.
From what we learn, IL Is lucky
the air brakes worked or the train
would most likely have gone across
country into Canada. No one wa
injured with the exception Of the
mail clerk. The wreclysr was sent
up Saturday night to straighten
out things and get the runaway
trnin hack upon the tracks.
No mail was received here Tues
dav, there being no relief mail
clerk available to take the place Of
the one injured.

EMERGENCY FEED
LOANS INCREASED
Increase Is SO Per Cent
For Farm and Work
Stock

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
regional crop and feed loan offices
serving the primary drought areas
have been authorized to allow up
to $3.50 a head per month TO pur-
chase feed for farm cattle, Sc for
farm work stock, and So for range
cattle in instances where the APP
plicant has no feed or hand and
the general weather conditions
have bee severei Norman Monag-
han of the emergency crop and
feed loan division Of the farm
credit administration, announced
yesterday.
Otherwise, the maximum base
rates now in effect will be contin-
ued, Mr.. Monaghan said. These
may not exceed SO a head per
month for feed for farm cattle, $4
for farm work stock, s1,50 for
rage cattle, So for saddle and
pack horses, 90 cents for sheep
and 35 cents for goats.
"The increased amounts will APP
ply only in exceptional cases where
the applicants feed for farm cat
tie, farm work stock or range cat
tie has been exhausted and weather
conditions have been severe" ac-
cording to Mr.. Monaghan. each
for increased allowance
will be considered on It's own mer-
its and must be accompanied by
detailed information as to the feed
on hand and weather conditions.
TIL county committee is required
to make recommendation as to the
increase.
Sheridan county belongs to the
primary drought area, and nobody
can say that weather conditions
here have not been very severe.
Farmers have been complaining
about cuts in their feed loans and
a number Of Raymond farmers
have passed a resolution obiecting
to these cuts, This report from
Washington states clearly that re-
commentator will have to be
made by the local loan office. In
other words, the local loan office
will be IN a large measure respon-
sibe whether feed loans are grant
ed or turned down.
Applications for the loans may
he made to the county crop and
feed loan committee serving the
applicants county.

ROOSEVELT ASKS
MORE FOR WAR,
LESS FOR RELIFE
Asks Twice AS Much for
War In 1896 AS Was
Spent In 1884

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-RP)-
War thrust its CORY head through
the columns and columns of fig
ures in President RoOsevelt's bud
ret message to congress. Nearly
twice as much money is asked for
var purposes in the coming fiscal
year Of 1896 as was spent in 1884,
the increase being progressive
through 1885.
AS compared with $479, 694 1907
actually spent in 1884 for ina
tional defense" 1912, 785, 756 is es-
timated for the current fiscal year
Of 1885, and 1912 ,484, 265 for 1896.
This does not include $1O7, 463, 300
which the army and navy will get
from public work funds, nor later
special deficiency appropriations.
Altogt Their, around one billion dol
lars is being budgeted for direct
war purposes.
For the fiscal year 1896, which
begins July /, 1885, Roosevelt es-
Inmates total expenditures Of So
520,413 600, as compared with 49,
58l0G9,02G in 1886 and $7,105,O 50,-
084 in 1894 He declares that the
budget will balance "except for ex-
penditures to give work to the un-
employed"
The four and 0ne-half billion
deficit slim tie d corresponds
roughly TO the total items grouped
under the heading Recovery and
belief" This total Of s4,682Ot1. p
iTh 'epreseNs a considerable de-
or ne under the s5,260, 8O2 ,952
anhrorriatod for the same purpose
IN 1875.
Cut Wages
OF this total about four billion
dollars will be asked Of congress
to carry through the program Of
transferring some three and one
half million workers from direct
relief to public works, on which il
Is proposed to pay them less than
they could earn in private indus
Try,
The grounds for asking increased
war expenditures were laid by
by Roosevelt's general message 10
in which he spoke Of
Striving for armament and power
n more than one land" and said:
I cannot with candor tell you that
general international relationships
are improved"
The greater part of the increas-
ID expenditures will go to the big
navy program. The army is to
get $8l5,259,6OO for direct milit-
iry purposes in the coming year,
md the navy $477,224, $50, besides
he public works money, About
100000 900 will go for new war
hips, and $4O,OOO,OOO more for
lew ornaments, including guns
md ammunition. Expenditures for
he army air corps are nearly
doubled.
