SUMMER STUDENTS
PLEASED WITH VARSITY

Over IT'S teachers, from all over
Idaho, and the other states compris-
ing the Inland Empire, left Moscow
yesterday and today for their homes,
after having completed the six weeks
summer normal course offered by the
University of Idaho, and the Lewis
ton state normal school, at the univer-
sity. The pedagogues were not only
delighted with the course, which in
its corps of instructors, and it's fa
cilities for instruction, since the en-
tire equipment of the university was
at its disposal, was never before
equalled in Idaho, but also with the
treatment received by them from the
people of Moscow
From almost the first session of the
summer school the social life was a
feature, and the people of Moscow, and
the. faculties, not only of the sum-
mer school, but of the university as
well took the young ladies to their
hearts, and made them royalty well
come.

that they should renew their applica-
tions under date showing that the
money was still desired.
The permanent school fund of the
state now amounts to between $5,000-
O00 and $6,000,000, all of which is sub
ject to such loans as the principal is
repaid from former loans and former
investments, but practically all of
which is loaned on long time loans so
that very little is available for new
loans except principal received from
sales of lands, or which increases the
principal, rather than from old prin-
cipal returning to the board for re-
investment.

STRONG STATEMENT ON
COURT HOUSE BONDS

, posing the bond issue is from those
who claim they want to repair the old
building. There can be no one who
honestly advocates doing this, ex-
cept as a means of preventing the
construction of a new court house un-
til such time, as he thinks the coun-
ty seat might be moved to some other
point in the county, and those who
have taken the trouble to inform them
selves as to how worthless the pres
ent old building is at this time.
The citizens committee, the grand
Jury. the sanitary inspector and eve
ry member of the board of county
commissioners for the past IL years.
the district court and the federal
court have found the old building to
be a fire trap, unsanitary, unsafe, and
besides contractors and architects
have found the old building to be
cracked from the top down through the
foundation. This old building was
erected "a years ago at a cost OF only
$4,000, with but on little vault in the
entire building and which was under
stood to be but temporary and has
served it's usefulness, for this pur-
pose.
When these facts are taken into
consideration it must be very appar-
ent to any thinking person that those
who are advocating the repair of
an old cheaply constructed affair of
the character of the old building is
either ignorant or not doing it in good
faith.
The county is out of debt and has an
assessed valuation of over s17,50O,O00
and to expend half as much of the peo-
ple's money to patch up an old COM
bustible affair as it would cost to
build a modern fire-proof building
which all admit will be necessary in
a short time, should convince any
taxpayer that the reason is not good
business and that there must be some
other motive.
Since, Mr.. Editor, all eleclofS can
vote on the proposed bond Issue next
Tuesday, whether they have registered
or not, it is to be hoped that every
loyal citizen to Latah county will do
his full duty to himself and his coun-
ty by voting for the proposed bond
issue.
Yours truly,
]. w. LIEUALLEN.

Editor Star-Mirror: On the eve OF
the election which is to determine the
proposed issue of 100000 of bonds
against Latah county for new court
to correct, in brief manner. some of
the statements made by those having
selfish motives in various localities
of the county, and which are being
repeated innocently, by others whose
interest would be to build court
house now and in the manner propos-
ed, if they will but grasp the reasons.
All reasonable citizens admit the
necessity of protection of the rec
ords, which if destroyed by fire would
cost twice as much as a new court
house to replace and some of them
could never be replaced. All admit
the necessity OF a new jail.
The manner of protecting the rec
ords and supplying adequate office
room for the various county officials
and the district court appears to have
been used by a few individuals, who
have always opposed improvements
and by those who have selfish motives
by reason of their interest being
identified with other localities, to mis-
lead the voters. They argue to one
class of people that the court house
should have been built by direct tax
levy over a period of three years.
Such warrants under the law would
draw seven per cent interest annual
ly. When this is compared with a
bond issue at four or four and one
half per cent annual interest for a
period of 10 years and the investment
of a sinking fund during that period
of time, the average OF which would
be five years, at seven per cent, it will
be seen that the advantages would be
in favor of the bond issue, besides at
the end of ten years, it is reasonable
to suppose that we would have 25
per cent more valuation to help pay
the final installments. Another rea-
son for the county commissioners or
dering a bond election is that the sta
tutes do not provide for any term of
less than ten years to require the
people to pay for the building of a
new court house. 1t is therefore
seen the prejudice against issuing
bonds for this purpose is not well
founded.

A reception and lawn fete on the
college campus, followed by musicales,
principles and band concerts on the
campus, automobile rides through the
Palouse country, and entertainment at
local moving picture shows, were
some of the pleasures provided by the
university faculty, the summer school
faculty, and the people of Moscow,
and the teachers greatly appreciated
them.
The remarkable success of the sum
mer school, which in it's first year
enjoyed an enrolment of over 200 stu
dents, makes certain that it will con-
tinue as a permanent feature of the
year in Moscow, and there
is every reason to predict an enroll
ment of probably 800 next summer,
for every student this year has gone

to come back, but to bring back eve
ry other teacher, looking to spend a
