It is announced that the ministers have a great desire for the future to accept one-quarter of their salaries in the form of five percent economy. When the big British steamer Tabby, of the Blue Funnel line, docked at the Smith Cove terminal in Seattle, every approach to the wharf tree closely guarded by policemen and special watchmen employed as the suit of an anonymous throat that the liner's $8,800,000 cargo had been marked for destruction by alleged German spies. President Wilson, at the end of two days of agitation in congress for action, wrote a letter to Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, saying that he could not consent to the abridgement of the rights of American citizens in any respect.

The Western Canada were authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission to formulate a plan for the construction of a new terminal in Milwaukee. General Board, it was decided. On the title, the United States has claimed that the policy at the helm of the United States was not to give the fleet of 48 ships, but to operate against it, not to the heart of the harbor, and Admiral Schley thought it best to make the attempt. The admiral was replying to the statement that the best of the old policy, including the navy, had been the burden of the navy in a second-class piece. Hile (MENERAI. IVANOFF General Ivanoff is in command of the southern group of Russian armies and together with General Brusiloff, he is given the credit for the severe defeats inflicted on the Austrian lines. The Teutonia invasion of Russia was blocked. That was the offset it had, he said, the real object was to keep ahead of Germany. This year the board fixed as its policy the creation by 1925 of a fleet equal to the most powerful afloat at that time, he said. The committee did not go into the board's reasons for changing its ideas beyond drawing out the explanation that the board believed fleet 10 percent superior to any fighting force that might be brought against it would be necessary to insure against the invasion of American soil by an enemy. In questioning by Representative Kelly, Admiral Badger said the construction of three additional dreadnoughts and eight battle cruisers would place the navy on a par with the capital ships of the German fleet today. Germany now has 82 dreadnoughts and eight battle cruisers, he said, according to the best available information, while the United States has all told 19 ships of the dreadnoughts class, built or building. To equal Great Britain's fleet within two years, Admiral Badger said, the United States would be obliged to have a total force of 40 dreadnoughts, 16 battle cruisers, 25 swift scouting craft, 200 submarines and 250 destroyers. He was not favoring such a program, but merely answering questions by Representative Butler. Such a fleet. could not be built in two years, he added, though it might be constructed in four. Toalyn has $100,000 Fire. Approximately $100,000 loss was caused by a fire starting in some refuse, swept in front of the ash pan of a boiler in the big department store of the Northwestern Improvement company at Roslyn, a coal mining town, according to advices received here. In the building were the real and personal tax rolls of Kittitas county. These records and those of the Tacoma, Wash. company were rescued. Many fuse caps and much oil was stored in the building, but an explosion was averted. Feed Scarce; Cattle Die. Baker, Ore. — Because of scarcity of feed in Grant county, oats have gone to $2.25 a 100 pounds and threaten to go still higher. Since the heavy storm, sheepmen have been in a dilemma regarding the care of the flocks. The rise started when Newton Shank bought 6000 pounds at 2 cents and M. Whetstone bought 8700 pounds at a slightly higher price. Many sheepmen have been compelled to move their animals nearly across the county and many have lost large numbers because of the inability to obtain food. Blockade Minister Created. London — The government, through Marquis of Lanadowne, announced that the house of lords would turn over all matters connected with the blockade of Germany to one man who would rank as a full-fledged cabinet minister.

Washington, D.C.—Germany has entrusted Count von Bernstorff to inform the United States of the surrender of the German army, which the German government has refused to do. The United States, in its reply, says that the German army, despite the fact that the German army is not to be trusted, has been given the protection of the United States. The government is understood to contend that armed merchantmen, without regard to the nature of their armament, have shown themselves not to be peaceful, and therefore subject to "traction without warning." The instructions direct the German ambassador particularly to toil Secretary Lansing that British armed ostensibly only for defense, have not assumed the character of peaceful traders, but on the contrary, they carry guns for the especial purpose. Of attacking German submarines. To support this contention, the Berlin foreign office has sent the ambassador, for presentation to the State department, a list of at least 20 incidents where it is asserted British merchant ships have attacked submarines. Confidential advices received from Berlin say that German and Austrian submarine commanders already have received their new order and that from midnight Tuesday they were authorized to sink without warning all armed merchant ships of the enemies of Germany. It was said also that many of the submarine commanders probably had left their bases on voyages and that even should the United States request the postponement of the opening of the campaign, it would be impossible to get word to many of the submarines. It was said, however, that so merchant ships, far neither the United States nor any other nation, had asked for a postponement. Count von Bernstorff and other officials of the German embassy declined to discuss the instructions from Berlin in any way Monday. Count von Bernstorff received his instructions in reply to a request from the United States for assurances regarding the conduct of submarine warfare in the future, occasioned by the memorandum announcing the intention of Germany to sink armed ships without warning, which the administration considered to be inconsistent with the assurances previously given. Regardless of the form in which the matter is presented to Secretary Lansing, the German ambassador will lay much stress on the assurances regarding the arming of merchant ships which were given to the United States by Great Britain in a memorandum signed by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, August 25, 1914. Southern Oregon (topic of way to Sunday School Shot Pros Artush Granta Pass, Ore.—Luther B. Akers, and his wife, and their team of two horses were all killed near Wildersville, 12 Mile from here Sunday morning about 10 o'clock by a neighbor farmer, Marshall D. Bousman, 63 years old. The slayer was lodged in jail here and confessed to the shooting. Bousman lay in ambush by the roadside as the Akers couple were driving to Sunday school, warning he fired 7 shots from a carbine. The shooting is the culmination of a neighbors' quarrel over boundary fences, hogs at large and similar matters, of several years' duration. Although the shooting took place in the morning, the bodies were not discovered until evening, as the Akers, an elderly couple, lived on a road that is not much traveled. Without Packing Strike Still On. Sioux City, la.—The breach in negotiations between officials of the Armour and Cudahy packing companies and the 2300 strikers at the Sioux City plant was widened Sunday when at a mass meeting of strikers it was decided to demand the original scale of 221 cents an hour for all common laborers, instead of accepting 21 cents an hour, which Saturday was practically decided on. Unless the packers grant a written agreement setting forth that there shall be no deviation from wage scales for one year there will be no settlement. Loss Due to Submarine. Paris — An official announcement made by the French ministry of marine regarding the sinking of the British steamship Fastnet says the vessel was sent to the bottom by a submarine in the Western Mediterranean. The crew of the steamship was rescued by a French cruiser. The captain of the Fastnet reports that he saw the same submarine sink the Swedish steamer Thomborg, the boats of which the undersigned vessel towed away. The Fastnet was of 2227 tons gross and built in 1887. British Linas Extended. Ottawa, Ont.—British lines in Belgium and France are being extended to replace French soldiers who are being rushed to the Verdun region to take part in the fighting, "which has settled down to a terrific slaughter," according to advices received here from the battle front. Approximately 20 army divisions have been thrown into the battle by the Germans, while the French troops number 15 divisions, cable messages said. Salmon — Salmon is destined to become one of the greatest sheep shipping points in all the country, in the opinion of well-informed sheepmen here. The construction of a short railroad is what will make it to, they are at all unappropriated, except by cattle, which is not all of the ranges by any means. These ranges extend both east and west along the Salmon and Lemhi rivers and their tributaries. For hundreds of miles they are still untrodden, except for wild sheep and goats, largely unadapted to cattle, but well suited for the uses of domestic sheep. Forage and underbrush, as well as grass, afford excellent feed for sheep and abounds right down to the limits of Salmon and the nearby valleys. Where is required to make this feed available is that little connecting link of railroad track to hook up the Gilmore & Pittsburg, a holding of the Northern Pacific, with the Northern Pacific's transcontinental line. This home road extends nearly from and to end of Lemhi county, with a spur across the continental divide connecting with the Union Pacific system at Armstead. The two roads do not work together in harmony, however, as it is not expected they should. In fact, they have separate depots at Armstead, a mile apart, but from that piece on to Twin Bridges is only about 40 miles and at either of these places the Northern Pacific tracks could be joined. The building of this missing link would distinctly place Salmon on the railroad map of the country and work an immense saving in time in getting sheep to the Eastern markets, at least a day or two earlier than through the Pocatello gateway. Boise—The Supreme Court reversed the judgment for the Empire Mill company in the First judicial district court for Shoshone county in the case of the Blackwell Lumber company against it. The litigation involved an action to condemn a right of way over private lands for a temporary logging road. The Empire company entered a demurrer to the proceedings instituted to condemn for a right of way. This demurrer was sustained. The appeal is from the order of the lower court sustaining the demurrer. In order to acquire certain of its timber standing on 400 acres of land, the Blackwell Lumber company instituted suit in condemnation to cross the property of the Empire Mill company after that company refused permission for a right of way. Chief Justice Sullivan wrote the opinion, in which Justice Budge concurs and Justice Morgan dissents. It is held by the Supreme court that where a temporary logging road is necessary to the complete development of the material resources of the state, the necessary use of land for a right of way is a "public use" and may be acquired as provided by the statute. Lewiston—Captain Henry M. Jones, of Company F, Idaho National Guards, of this place is in receipt of advices from the adjutant general to the effect that the annual federal inspection of the companies of the guard in north Idaho have been scheduled as follows: Company F, Lewiston, March 6; company E, Granville, March 7; company C, Coeur d'Alene, March 9; company A, Sandpoint, March 10. The inspection will be made by Lieutenant Max Garber, Second Infantry, U. S. A. The Camas Prairie railway company placed in operation on the line between Lewiston and Riparia a work shovel, and it is expected to have the line in complete repair within two weeks. Trains are being operated under difficulties, and at many places over temporary tracks. Moscow—L. J. Weigand and Ralston S. Butterfield have presented a report to the chamber of commerce relative to the proposed extension of the O.-W. R. & N. railroad from Moscow to Genesee by way of Little Potlatch and Linville. Farmers along the proposed route were interviewed. The right of way and a large money bonus will be subscribed for the extension. A special committee was appointed. To present the matter to the officials of the railroad. Mrs. Richard Burke of this city, advocate of woman's suffrage, has closed a contract with the Iowa Suffrage league to make a three months' canvass of that state in behalf of votes for women and will leave soon for her work in that field. Coeur d'Alene—The first annual banquet of the chamber of commerce was held Monday night at the Hotel Idaho. Supper was served at 6:30, followed by a program. Huntington Taylor spoke on "Coeur d'Alene as Seen by a Newcomer." This city, he said, teems with undeveloped resources. Have five continental railway systems in here and prospects for the future are bright," he said. The speaker declared that cities should guard against natural business depression which is felt the country over and the inflated boom caused by men that have not the future of the city at heart. He urged small factories for this city. Lewiston—A record price for many months was established here when the Meat company and Bristol & Martin, dealers of this city, said $7.65 per hundredweight to make up a shipment of several carloads of hogs for the Spokane market. Beef is reported to be becoming scarce in this territory. Duma Attended by Czar. Petrograd The presence of Emperor Nicholas at the opening of the duma is hailed by the press as one of the most important events in the political history of Russia. It is pointed out that the appearance of the emperor in the house has emphasized in the most striking manner the increasing disposition of the government and people to lay aside internal Politics and devote all their energy to concerted effort to bring the war to a successful issue. This was the first time the emperor ever visited the duma. WOMAN Author of the "AMERICAN CRACKSMAN." SYNOPSIS. Cesalet, the steamer from homeward bound from Australia, erlows out in his sleep that Henry Cravon, who yesterday had ruined his life, is dead, and, that Hilton Toy, who shares the stateroom with him, knows, Cravon and also Blanch, Mtonalr, a former neighbor and playmate. When the daily papers come aboard at Southampton Toy's road that Cravon has been murdered and calls Cazalet's dream second eight. He thinks of doing a little amateur detective work on the case himself. In the train to town, they discuss the murder, which was committed at Cazalet's old home. Toy hears from Cazalet that Scruton, who had been Cazalet's friend and the scapegoat for Cravon's dishonesty, has been released from prison. Cazalet goes down the river and meets Blanche. Toy also comes to see her and tells Cazalet that Scruton has been arrested, but as he doesn't believe the old clerk is guilty, he is going to ferret out the murderer. Cazalet and Blanche go to Cazalet's old home and meet Mr. Drinkwater of Scotland Yard. Cazalet goes with Drinkwater to the library where The murder was committed, show him a secret he knew and a boy, and leads through it. In town Toye, talking Casalet about the murder, suggests an anger print on the weapon found in the secret. As a means of trapping the murderer and succeeds in securing a print of Casalet's hand, Toye traces movements while a passenger on the Kaiser Fritz, And that he left the boat before the murder and returned just after it. CHAPTER X. The Week of Their Lives. "Toye's gone back to Italy," said Cazalet. "He says he may be away only a week. Let's make it the week of our lives!" The scene was the little room. It pleased Blanche to call her parlor, and the time a preposterously early hour of the following forenoon. Cazalet in her sunny snuggery rather suggested another extravagant taxicab. But Blanche saw only his worn, excited face; and her own was not at its best in her sheer amazement. "Italy!" she ejaculated. "When did he go?" "Nine o'clock last night." "But"—she checked herself—"I simply can't understand it, that's all!" "Why? Have you seen him since the other afternoon?" His manner might have explained those other two remarks, now bothering her when it was too late to notice them; on the other hand, she was by no means sure that it did. He might simply dislike Toye, and that again might explain his extraordinary heat over the argument at Littleford Blanche began to feel the air what heavily charged with explanations, either demanded or desired; they were things she hated, and she determined not to add to them if she could help it. I haven't set eyes on him again," she said. "But he's been seen here— in a taxi." "Who saw him?" "Martha—If she's not mistaken." This was a little disingenuous, as will appear; but that impetuous Sweep was in a merciful hurry to know something else. "When was this, Blanche?" Some "Just about dark—say seven or So, she owns it was about dark," said Blanche, though she felt ashamed of herself. "Well, It's Just possible. He left me about six; said he had to see someone too, now I think of it But I'd give a bit to know what he was doing, mess ing about down here at the last mo ment!" Blanche liked this as little as any thing that Cazalet had said yet, and he had aald nothing that she did like this morning. But there were allowances to be made for him, she knew, yet to strengthen her knowledge, or rather to let him confirm It for her, either by word or by his silence, „ stated a certain case for him aloud. "Poor old Sweep!" she laughed. "It'« a shame that you should have come home to be worried like this." "I *" worried," he aald simply. "I think It's Just splendid, all doing for that poor man, hut the way you're doing It." "1 wish to God that, Blanche!" He paid her the And she you're especially you wouldn't say compliment of speaking exactly as he would have spoken to a man; or rather, she hap pened to be the woman to take It a compliment. "But I do say it, Sweep! all about it from Charlie, up last night" "You're on the telephone, "Everybody is In as I've heard He rang me ars you?" u ,. . these days. Where have you lived? Oh. I forgot'" And she laughed. Anything to lirt this duet of theirs out of the minor key' rk. B w Ul ."Î!

But I rather thought there was adjourned, gathered he was not going to be in it himself?" No. We decided on one of those sportsmen who love rushing in where a family lawyer like Charlie looking down his own nose. I've seen the stranger's head up about him, found him in the grounds. He says he'll make an examination of Drinkwater, and Charlie says they call him the Bobby's Bugbear!" But surely he'll have a client who's behind him?" "To tell his client," said Harry. "I'm impressed by his passage over the ocean." From an airship, H. Warner Allen claims that for the first time he realized the full solitude of the sea.

"But, whichever way It goes, I'm afraid ft means trouble for me, Blanche; some time or other I'll tell you why; but that's why 1 want this to be the week of our lives." So he really meant what he had said before. The phrase had been no care less misuse of words; but neither, after all, did It necessarily apply to Mr. Toye. That was something. It made It easier for Blanche not to ask questions. Cazalet had gone out on the bal cony; now he called to her; and there was no taxi, but a smart open car. waiting In the road, its brasses blazing 1 (T* & 7 j h .. Blanche Looked at the Troubled Eyes Avoiding Hers. In the sun, an Immaculate chauffeur at the wheel. "Whose Is that, Sweep?" "Mine, for the week I'm talking about! I mean ours, if you'd only buck up and get ready to come out! A week doesn't last forever, know!" you Blanche ran off to Martha, who fussed and hindered her with the best Intentions. cult to say which was the cited of the two. But the old nurse would waste time In perfectly fatuous reminiscences of the very earliest ex peditions In which Mr. Cazalet had led and Blanche had followed, and what a bonny pair they had made even then, etc. Severely snubbed that subject, she took to peering at her mistress, once her bairn, with fur tive eagerness and Impatience; Blanche, on her side, looked as though she had something on her mind, and, Indeed, had made one or two attempts to get It off. She had to force it In the end. "There's Just one thing I want to say before I go. Martha. You know when Mr. Toye called yesterday I out?" "Oh, Mr. Toye; yes, 1 remember, Miss Blanche." "Well, I don't want you to say that he came In and waited half an hour In vain; In facL not that he In at all, or that you're even saw him, unless, of asked." It would have beeu diffl more ex on for even was came sure you course, you're "Who should aBk me, I wonder?" "Well, 1 don't know, but there seems to be a little bad blood between Mr. Toye and Mr. Cazalet." Martha looked for a moment as though she were about to weep, and then for another moment as though she would die of laughing, the third moment she celebrated by making an utter fool of herself, as she would have been told to her face by anybody but Blanche, whose yellow hair was being disarranged by the very hands that had helped to Irapria on it under that motor hat and veil. "Oh, Blanche, is that all you have to tell me?" said Martha. And then the week of their lives began. The weather was true to them, and this was a larger matter than it might have been. They were not making love. They were not out for that as planch herself actually told Martha, with annihilating acorn, when the old dear looked both knowing and longing-to-know at the end of the first day's run. They were out to enjoy but its wings flashed bright as they caught the sun, stretched out to a horizon like a circle. "Baldness, and ahead where the land lay, a screen of light mist intervened and cut short our view in a straight line. "The sensation was one of perfect content mingled with a solemn rarance for the fastness of the sea, attention from the distant land, and that in Martha's unending flight. "Martha, and that is the only thing that makes me mad, Martha." Some time ago, when she had just recovered from a severe cold, she had just recovered from a severe cold. To be all Yet if they were only out to The same, in the way Miss Blanch, wondered and declared (more shame for bar), they certainly had done wonder, for a start. Martha could hardly credit all they said they had done and as an embittered pedestrian there, was nothing that she would "put put" one of those neat motor, it said very little for Mr. Cazalet, by the way, In Martha's private opinion, that he should take her Miss Blanche out in a car at all; If he had turned out as well as he had hoped, and "meant anything," a nice boat on the river, it would have been better for them both than all that tearing through the air a cloud of smoke; It would also have been much less expensive, and far more "the thing." But, there, to see and hear the child after the first day! She looked bonny that for a time Martha really believed that Mr. Cazalet had "popped," and allowed herself to admire him also as he drove off later with his wicked lampt alight. But Blanche would only go on and on about her gay, the glories of the Ripley road and the grandeur of Hindhead. She had brought back heaps of heather and bunches of leaves just beginning to turn; they were all over the little house before Cazalet had been went ten minutes. But Blanche hadn't forgotten her poor old Martha; she was not one to forget people, especially when she loved and yet had to snub them. Martha's portion was picture postcards of the Gibbet and other landmarks of the day. "And if you're good," said Blanche, "you shall have some every day, and an album to keep them in forever and ever. And won't that be nice when it's all over, and Mr. Cazalet's gone back to Anstralla?" Cruelty anticlimax was never planned, but Martha's face had brought it on her; and now it remained to make her see for herself what an incomparably good time they were having. Above all was it delightful to feel that their beloved car was waiting for them outside, to whirl them where they liked; for quite early in the week (and this was a glaring aggravation in Martha's eyes) Cazalet had taken lodgings for himself and driver in those very Nell Gwynne Cottages where Hilton Toye had stayed before him. CHAPTER XI. The Thousandth Man. It had been new life to them, but now it was all over. It was the last evening of their week, and they were spending it rather silently on Blanche's balcony. "I make it at least three hundred," said Cazalet, and knocked out a pipe that might have been a gag. "You see, we were very seldom under fifty!" "Speak for yourself, please! My longevity's a tender point," said Blanche, who looked as though she had no business to have her hair up, as she sat in a pale cross-fire between a lamp and her lighted room. Cazalet protested that he had only meant their mileage in the car; he made himself extremely intelligible now, as he often would when she realized him in a serious voice. "Well, it's been a heavenly time," she assured him just once more. "And tomorrow it's pretty sure to come all right about Scruton, isn't it?" "Yes! Tomorrow we shall probably have Toye back," he answered with grim unconsequence. "What has that to do with it, Walter?" "Oh, nothing, of course." But still his tone was grim and heavy, with a schoolboy irony that he would not explain but could not keep to himself. So Mr. Toye must be turned out of the conversation, though it was not Blanche who had dragged him in. She wished people would stick to their point. "There's one thing I've rather wanted to ask you," she began. "Yes?" said Cazalet. "You said the other day that it would mean worry for you in any case — after tomorrow — whether the charge is dismissed or not!" His wicker chair creaked under him. "I don't see why it should," she persisted, "if the case falls through." "Well, that's where I come in," he had to say. "Surely you mean just the other way about? If they commit the man for trial, then you do come in, I know. It's like your goodness." "I wish you wouldn't say that! It hurts me!" "Then will you explain yourself? It's not fair to tell me so much, and then to leave out just the bit that's making you miserable!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Authority on Steal Production.
