she feared she was going to have a

Mrs. Damon walked all Saturday

between Troy and Kendrick. She had
nothing to eat except berries from
the time she left Moscow until reach

The meetings are those formally

PROF. ALDRICH WRITES
ON THE APPLE QUESTION

next years crop by trying to keep
wormy apples off the market. We must
spray anyway if we expect to raise
apples worth anything, and the right
kind of spraying will give almost 100
per cent of clean fruit, even though
the next orchard is unsprayed.
Hence | conclude that the popularity
of the campaign against the sale of
wormy apples has at bottom the third
reason. | have heard the matter do
cussed by orchardists in the state
horticultural society, and the only
point of view of the speakers was
the financial one-the law was COM
mended because it raised the price of
apples locally, and nothing was said
about reducing the number of worms.
This | consider shows the law to be
in that degree an illegitimate eitor:
to take money from one class of ci.-
iZens and give it to another. do
not think the state should appropriate
money to further the scheme. There is
plenty of room for legitimate inspec-
tion work and most of what the in
spectors do is worthy of ell approval
and support, but | do not believe in
the policy of interfering with the ap-
pie market at state expense.

of the wormy apple, as the reporter
seemed to think The question is ell

Mrs. Fred Damon, who disappeared
from Moscow Saturday evening while
in fit of insanity, and for whom the
officers searched unavailingly Sunday.
Sunday night and Monday, was loca-
ted last evening at Kendrick, where
she had been picked up about 10
O'Clock Monday morning by Mrs. Billy
Myers, and given attention and care
When found, Mrs. Damon, had fallen
from exhaustion and hunger OH the
outskirts of Kendrick. She was pick
ed up by Mrs. Myers, taken into her
home, and given the best of care. DR..
Rothwell was summoned and gave the
woman a sedative. When first sue
cored by Mrs. Myers, the woman was
almost delirious, and would give no
further information than that she was
walking to Orofino. Later after few
hours rest she told DR.. Rothwell that
she had walked from Moscow to Ken
drick, and expected to continue on to
Orofino, where she expected to enter
the asylum.
Mrs. Damon declared that she had
suffered Saturday night from severe

BLOODHOUNDS USED ON
TRAIL OF MRS. DAMON

The animals were taken to Mrs.
Damon's home where they were given
the trail. Leaving the house they fol-
lowed it west along the sidewalk on
the north side of Sd street to the
N. P. tracks, where they lost it twice,
but the third time kept the scent, and
followed up the track, then across
and up through the big orchard on top
the hill northwest of town, through a
couple of fields, and then across to
the Pete King ranch, where the own
ers were forced to call them off on ac-
count of darkness.
1t is believed that Mrs. Damon fol-
lowed that route to near the King
home, and then circled around the
city, cutting into the N. P. tracks,
and continuing on to Kendrick.
Although the scent of Mrs. Damon's
was 48 hours old the dogs followed
it in splendid fashion, and Sheriff
Brown is convinced that they are val
liable trailers.

man, for treasurer was not only NOM
mated on the democratic, but also on
the republican ticket. For county sur
veyor Harvey Smith not only received
the republican nomination, but tied
with Dan Hannah for the democratic
nomination, each having five votes.
In the first two instances the candidate
will choose on which ticket she will
make the race, and the vacancy on the
other ticket will be filled by the com
mittee. For surveyor, there is no nom
ination on the democratic ticket, eX-
cept it be decided by drawing straws,
and as Mr.. Smith is not particularly
desirous of a democratic instead of a
republican nomination the matter will
stand that way, and the democratic
committee will name man to fill the
vacancy.

Until they were put to work under
the direction of Sheriff C. G. Brown,
in tracing the footsteps of Mrs. Fred
Demon, probably not a dozen persons
in Moscow knew that this city boasted
a pack of bloodhounds, but within
five minutes after the animals were ta-
ken to the house from which the un-
fortunate woman disappeared scores
of people had gathered to watch them

The hounds are four in number, and

POSTAL CLERKS MAY
JOIN THEIR UNION NOW

red hot debate today in the senate
as to whether the postal employees
have the right to unionize and strike,
when the post office appropriation
bill came up for further consideration
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
said there was no law to prevent any
citizen from joining any union organ
ization and contended that the postal
employees had the right to quit work
if dissatisfied with the compensation
and working conditions.
Senator Root of New York, took is
sue. He said it would be a sorry day
for America when the government
employees were granted the right to
strike.
"A situation like that" he said,
soon would result in no government.
He said striking was not illegal but
must not be turned as weapon against
public interests"

Editor Star-Mirro: The clipping
YOU published yesterday, containing
some extracts from a letter of mine
on the sale of wormy apples, requires
a brief explanation.
l can think of only three reasons
why the state might go to the ex-
pepse of prohibiting the sale of wormy
apples; namely:
1st Because the consumption Of
this grade of fruit is injurious 60 the
health.
I'd. Because the handling of wormy
apples causes the orchards to be more
infested with worms, and so the sue
ceeding crop will be more worny
Sd. Because when the cheap grade
of apples is kept off the market, grow
ers find a better market for their re-
naming apples, so that they realize
more than would if they sold the
wormy ones.
l have never heard anybody claim
the first reason to be valid one so
dismiss it with the remark that if
It were. the pure food commissioner
would be the logical officer to take
charges of the case
The second reason is the only one
which would justify the state in ex-
pending public funds for maintainiue g
inspection; yet in region where the
