THAT NEW COURT HOUSE.

Come to think of it, who owns the
: Latah county records? Where is the
record to your property, you farmers,
live where you may, within the coun-
ty? And if the county records, which
belong, not to Moscow, but to all the
people in the county, are DESTROYED,
as they surely will be if the court
house ever takes fire, what about the
record of your title? OF course the
court house may never burn. But can
you assure the people that such
thing will never happen? Oh, no, you
could not do that. But" you say,
the court house never has burned"
But will it never burn? Upon what
theory do you base your statement?
The old Russell school building in
Moscow stood for something like a
quarter of century. 1t didn't burn
but once But that once was enough.
What is there left of the Russell
school today? Up to the time it
was no evidence to prove that it ever
would burn. There was a record of |
some twenty five years to prove that it !
had never burned, and upon which to
base the assumption that it never |
would, because it never had. But did |
it burn? All the assurance ever gwen
by those who said it never had burn
ed did not save it when it once caught
fire. And this will be the case if the
old court house ever catches fire. But
