teams met for the first game Of the sea-

defeat by score Of II to s. Both teams
have improved - the season advanced.
The University has defeated Pullman

as soon as arrangements are perfected.
Ed White, who was seen concerning the
plans of the matter, said: "We Will buiid
cold storage here before spring and an
other in Moscow as soon as the season
opens. Our business has been satisfactory
this year and we expect to extend it III
all lines in the coming season. With
cold storage equipment we can handle
with profit to the grower much OF the
fruit and vegetable products that are
now wasted because of over supply in the
local markets."

Decision in Idaho Affecting Counties and
Towns.
Boise, Idaho, Dec. Io.-The supreme
court today handed down an opinion of
much importance to all counties and
towns in the state, the doctrine being
laid down that no member of board of
commissioners or city councilman can
contract an oblig alton binding upon the
county or city.
The case is that Of II. A. Castle VS..
Bannock county. Castle, a doctor, was
county physician on salary When
smallpox broke out in Pocatello and the
patients were were put in pesthouse.
Frank M. Watson, chairman Of the board
and the county's purchasing agent, told
DR.. Castle to care for the patients and
the county would pay him. Castle did
so and put in bill for $33o.6c. All but
$6o6o was disallowed. He appealed to
the district court. which rendered judg-
ment against the county. On appeal to
the supreme court that judgment is re-
versed.
The opinion. after reciting the facts OF
the case and referring to numerous au-
thorities says: ut will be observed by
reading the authorities cited that the
board of county commissioners or the
city council of a city now are empowered
to do certain things, but nowhere do we
find in the citations that an individual
member of the board Of commissioners
or member of city council can make
contract and thereby create an obligation
binding upon the county or city,

Railroad building for Idaho is now

Idaho's representative in the lower
house of Congress evidently did not make
very marked impression upon Speaker
Henderson as his recognition on the COM
mittee indicates. Congressman Glenn of
Idaho is mentioned but twice in the
make up of over 50 committees in con-
gress and then as the minority member
of an unimportrnt committee. The
chances are that Idaho will not cut
very wide swath in national affairs in the
house in this congress. On the COM
mittee Of mines and mining Congress-
man Glenn is at least in touch with one
representative interest in his state but -
the minority member he will have little
or no influence in shaping legislation.
Just at present the irrigation committee
and the rivers and harbors committee
are Of the most immediate benefit to Ida
no. As the Presidents message indicates
the administration is greatly in favor Of
irrigation and if Idaho had strong ad-
ministration man in congress during
this session his place would have been
undoubtedly upon this committee and he
could have made strong showing for
Idaho.
The rivers and harbors committee has
special interest this session for the whole
Columbia basin. Their deliberations
will carry the hopes OF all persons and
sections who favor the open river PROPOSE
ton, and if recognition is given to the
project the rivers and harbors bill will
carry the initial appropriations for open
ing the river at the Dalles. 1t is favor
able to the project that the personnel Of
this committee has suffered very little

members of the present committee are
the ones who visited Lewiston and the

knowledge Of the needs of the Columbia

Mrs. Madison,a Case,

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14th.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison, a
respected lady of this place, has suf-
fered most severely with Kidney trou-
BILE, complicated with arrangements of
the bowels and liver. Rheumatism,
another painful result Of deranged
Kidneys, added it's tortures to her bur-
den Of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians soon
exhausted their skill, but all to no pur-
pose.
At this stage of the case a treatment
of Dodd's Kidney Pills was resorted to
and the results were simply miracu-
lous, from the very first box an inn
provement was noticed, and the o n
tinued treatment resulted in a complete
cure.
This remarkable cure created a de-
ciGed sensation in the neighborhood,
because of the complications of the
case as well as it's severity and appar-
ent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright's Disease,
Diabetes or Dropsy, n these hitherto
incurable diseases are readily con
quered by this remarkable remedy.

the other when turning out of a
straight line.
Immediately I shifted my weight to
the left of the center of equilibrium.
The machine turned it's nose to the
left and sailed around the clump of
trees like a swallow. l had no need
for steering apparatus now, and I felt
more secure. I tried steering by shift
ing my weight from side to side, and
the machine proved most sensitive to
my slightest movement.
i had gone fully half a mile now
and ahead of me about 200 yards the
open field ended with a big woods. I
prepared to descend. Here is where
beanie apprehensive again, for many
machines at the point where the wings
are stopped do not settle horizontally,
but dive ahead or fall stail downward
to the ground. I shut off power by de-
grees, and the machine settled slowly
on a perfectly horizontal plane to the
ground, scarcely Earring me when the
wheels struck the earth.

bags of ballast, and the machine rose
faster. There was a terrific humming
of the wind through the wings and
other parts of canvas, and the engine
made considerable noise, too.
Clump of Trees Avoided.
II was now about forty feet above
the ground and sailing along evenly.
But I saw with considerable apprehen-
sion that I was headed straight for a
clump of trees. I was not high enough
to sail over them. and I couldn't get
the steering apparatus to work just
then. In fact. | had not had occasion
to try it before. To hit those trees
meant wrecking the machine and per-
haps death or broken bones for me.
A man thinks fast when he gets into a
place like that. When I was within
fifty yards of the trees, and my assist
ants below on the ground were yelling
at the tops of their voices to look out
for the trees it suddenly came into
my mind that I had seen the birds in
their flight tip one wing lower than

as the big wings, which measure SO
feet from tip to tip, begin to move, the

16 feet in length and tapers to both

While Mr.. Whitehead has demon

does not claim that it can be made a
commercial success. On the other
hand. Inventor Custead claims he has
an airship which can be made valuable
for business purposes. Custead claims
to have the most feasible form of air

sufficiently light. BY a combination of
Custead's airship and Whitehead's
generator the inventors believe that

claims that his motor will decrease by
rs per cent the weight of any motor
at present in use. The complete mo-
tive power, including generator and
engine, will weigh about five pounds

for "a hours.
Whitehead's flying machine is about
JIG feet long and its general appearance
is that of a huge bat. From each side
of the body there are wings made of
bamboo poles and covered with mus
lin. These wings are sc feet from tip

of 10 horsepower, to run the machine
along the ground, and the otner of 20
