the situation along the Little Ka-

Congressman B B Dovener said
unless the locks and dams along
that river could be bought the
government might not take any
steps to improve it Now, accord
ing to statements made by Con

is every reason to believe that the
Little Kanawha will stand as
good a chance of getting improved
as any other of the rivers included
in the scheme of the rivers and

Big Sum on Liquor
Licenses

The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 to enable the state treasurer to
check up the counties and Incorporated
cities and towns of the state for the
purpose of discriminating what
amounts, if any, were due the state
from such counties, cities and towns
as the states 10 per cent of the liquor
license money, under the act approved
April 2, 1888. The appropriation was
made at the request of George G.
Mills, treasurer, who after an exami-
nation of the records of his Office be-
came convinced that large sum was
due the state as a result of the delin-
quency of the various cities and towns
in the matter of remittances to the
state treasurer, as provided by the act
above referred to.
In order to guard against future de-
linquencies and to bring to the state
all the revenues to which it is en-
titled under the law Treasurer Mills
had introduced the present law, under
which no liquor license is valid in the
state until it is endorsed by the state
treasurer with his certificate as to the
payment of the states 10 per cent of
the amount of license fee in each case.
AS soon as the present law became op-
erative on June 8 last, the treasurer
appointed three special deputies and
started them out over the state to
make the necessary examination. They
have completed their work and made
their report, which shows total of
$104, 899. So due the state from incorpo-
rated cities and towns, and Sc, 523. 10

NEXT FRIDAY
THE BIG GAME
Football Contest Between State College and
u. OF |. at Moscow

The football game between the Uni
versity of Idaho and the State College
teams at Moscow next Friday promises
to be the greatest contest of it's kind
ever held in the Inland Empire. 1t
will settle the championship of the
three states of Washington, Idaho and
Montana. Crowds of spectators are
expected to take advantage of the low
excursion rates and attend the game.
This is the one great contest which
both teams have kept steadily in view
throughout the season. All other
games are regarded as preparatory for
this one great contest. All other de-
feats can be borne by either team if
this game means success to that team,
and no other victories can make up
for defeat on Nov. 10.
The University of Idaho has the star
team of its history-,a team of veter-
ans led by the renowned Middleton, the
greatest football general and quarter
back in the Northwest. The State
College team has the name of being
able to deliver the goods if it only
will. Idaho's line, with Snow at CEN
ter, is made up of steady, consistent
players, holding like stone wall,
slow but reliable. The State College
line plays all variations of the game
from mediocre to brilliant. Idaho is
not particularly strong in the back
field, while it would be hard to find
better halves than Nissen and Jones,
and Hardy is without peer in the
Northwest.
Chances for victory are even. Sue
cess lies with the team that wades in
and keeps eternally at it until the last
call of the whistle. At least, spec
tators may expect a grand exhibition
of football. Crowds from the Occur
d'Alenes, Spokane and the various
towns of the Inland Empire will give
the necessary side line life and inspir-
alton to make Nov 10 red letter day
in the football history of the North
west. Eight hundred Pullmanites will
fill two special trains and make Mos
COW look crimson.
