He said the ore shipped brought about $30.00 per ton gross which is highly satisfactory and if a suf- ficient ore body exists, which he will try to determine in the spring, we may expect quite a mining boom in Cottonwood. “Idaho Gold” a health and strength producer. 24- A. J. Wassmuth’ the Green- creek blacksmith left for Lewis- ton Thursday morning to have casting made for a power ham- mer of his own design. He had the pattern with him made by himself in his shop and it looked like a very practical thing and speaks well of his ability asa designer and inventor. We hope that he will find it an excellent success and will realize a good profit on sales to the trade as well as a practical machine for his own use. is atl il eff a GF Ey a 3 a ts a cs o =i Leu Jungert. ter Co high school this morning for Seattle, where LOST—Fountain pen.

WILL BE PROSECUTED Three members of the Indus- trial Workers of the World were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Powell and Lovelace Saturday in road camps of Grant Smith & Co., along Salmon river, charged with violation of the state’s criminal syndicalism law. They were brought to Grangeville Sunday, and lodged in the Grangeville hotel, under guard. Owing to the fact that the coun- ty jail is being moved, no cell space was available for the men. It is possible, should they be bound over to the district court at a preliminary hearing, not ‘yet set, that the men will be transferred from Idaho county to the jail at Lewiston, pending reconstruction of the Idaho f or the whole amount of 20, 1919 STATE BANK H. C. MATTHIESEN, Cashier county jail, Those Under Arrest The men in custody are: Gust Sandeen, Swede, arrested at the Long Gulch road camp. | Ed Einerson, Swede, arrested at the Slate creek road camp. Gust Harldson, Swede, arrest- ed at the Long Gulch road camp. The three men were members of a gang of eleven, previously arrested by the sheriff’s forces, assisted by members of the American legion, and subse- quently released, when state authorities at Boise, who order- ed the arrests, failed to advise the sheriff as to disposition of the men. The three men taken in custo- dy Saturday had paid I. W. W. dues to date. Others of the men, who were released, were delin- quent in payment of dues. Warrants for the arrest of four men, the three taken in custody, and a fourth, who, it is understood, left the road camp several weeks ago were sworn to by a A. H. Wilson, a member of the state constabulary, who was in Grangeville. The fourth man could not be located. Offers to Defend I. W. W. A lawyer in Butte, Mont., pur- porting to be counsel for I. W. W., late last. week was in com- munication with Prosecuting Attorney Auger, and offered to defend I. W. W. in the toils of the law here. His offer was communicated to the men held prisoners, but they declined to accept aid from the Butte attor- ney. The men insist they have done nothing to warrant their arrest. Prosecuting Attorney Auger was in Coeur d’Alene this week attending a conference of north Idaho prosecuting attorneys, cal- led by Roy L. Black, attorney general, for the purpose of map- ping out a campaign of prose- cution of I. W.W. Until Mr. Auger returns, no action will be taken in the cases of the I.

Dur- - ing the war, the government called more than four million men to the colors. Every one of them made a sacrifice to go, either business successes, daily comfort, and the companionship of friends, family, or sweetheart. Every one of them deserves to be recognized—not prefunctarily not temporarily, but consecra- tedly and permanently, in a man- ner commensurate with the ser- vice rendered the country. The idea is big, the opportunity is great, and the door is open. Now is the time to put it through. Will each interested reader please look up his committeemen and talk this over.
