MORE PROPERTY OWNERS
PETITION FOR PAVING

Joy was brough to the camp of the
paving forces today when it was learn
ed that w. D. Roth was back of a
movement to pave muddy W. 9Th
street, from Deakin avenue to the end
O fthe street. The petition provides
for the extension of the paving from
the bridge near the Athletic grounds,
and will, if it goes through, do away
with what is probably the muddiest
street in Moscow.
Mr.. Roth, after two days, rounded
up a majority of the property owners
along the proposed street, and today
had the following signatures to his Pc
tition:
w. D. Roth, Mrs. Callie Bolles, Mrs.
J. q. Smith, w. L. Carlyle, H. G.

The proposed district will cover
about half mile on Sixth street, with
but two and a half intersections. To
meet this without a bond election Mr..

Helmer People Have Law Suit.

HELMER, Idaho, June 15-Last
Saturday some of the citizens
of Helmer settled a few of their trou-
bles before Judge Flasher in the Just
ice court.
Pete Bergland had a warrant sworn
out for the arrest of Jess Dilman, after
that gentleman had punched the face
of Bergland till it resembled a circus
balloon.
1t seems Bergland had made some
uncomplimentry remarks about a
young lady friend of Dilman's and Dill
man tried to settle the score in his own
way. He pleaded guilty to the charge
of assault and was fined fifteen dol
lars and costs.
The second case was that of one old
man Perry who charged that Dilman
had beat him Dilman plead guilty and
was fine ten dollars and costs. The
reason for the assault was the same
as in the first case.
The third case was against Louis
Compo for beating old man Perry.
Compo was fined five dollars and costs.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The first draft
of the platform on which Colonel
Roosevelt will battle if he is nomina-
ted, was completed here today. 1t
contains planks providing for the re-
call of judges and favors popular
government through the presidential
preference primary, the initiative and
the referendum.
In endorsing the recall it leaves to
every locality the selection of it's own
remedies 1t favors the control of
the trusts by federal agency, the down
ward revision of the tariff, commits
sion to Investigate whether the work
ingmen are receiving just proper
tion of the benefit from the tariff, and
the lowering of the tariff so that it
would fall first on the industries
where the workingmen are fairly treat
ed, together with legislation to work
out social justice in the industrial

farmers and others who travel this
street, and Howard Shriver, a farm
Ell west Of town, is quoted as saying
that his neighborhood is ready to raise
$500 to pay for the intersections. 1t
is believed the necessary funds will
be quickly provided, and if so there is
nothing for the city council to do but
to order the street surveyed and to
call for bids.
Mr.. Roth says that his reason for
opposing the original paving bonds
was because his street was left out.
and he was afraid that his district
would not be able to get the improve
ment; that after the Main street was
paved there would be no disposition to
pave what he considers the worst
piece of street in Moscow. AS soon as
he discovered a way to get the i'm
provement he started his petition, and
at noon today had the necessary sig
natures to the petition which is now
filed with the city council.
The proposed new paving district is
of great importance, for it is the only
street available to reach the college
farm and the beautiful barns. 1t is
also the only street by which the
farmers southwest of Moscow can get
into Moscow.
