The Carnival Features.

During the parade the carnival COM
pany will occupy special attention
with a circus which will fc etell in a
small degree the character of the COM
panys amusement features to be seen
later on the fair grounds. The fair
management was exceptionally for
tunate in securing the Rice and Dore
carnival troop for the Tighter side" of
the county fair. This company is un-
questionably the best troop on the road
in the west this season and will present
nothing but brand new stunts in the
line of entertainment features. Many
of its attractions have been shown this
year for the first time and it Is safe
to say that none has been seen before
in Moscow. Its water carnival, if the
assurances which have been given the
fair management are one half true, will
be we'll worth the price of season
ticket

Wages and Penalty.

When the plaintiff quit work he had
|$6.25 wages coming to him. The judg-
ment rendered in his favor Is for the
$6.25 due him in wages, $75 penalty for
80 days for which the company was in
default, court costs and plaintiffs at
torneys' fees.
The plaintiff was represented by the
firm of Nisbet & Mason and the de-
fendant by Attorney VIM. NJ. Morgan.
Attorneys Mason and Morgan argued
the case before the probate court. The
decision in this case establishes an i'm
portant precedent for Latah county.

features now in contemplation by the
committee promises to far eclipse any
thing that has ever before been at
tempted in Moscow ON a similar occa-
sion. Definite information concerning
the musical organizations has not as
yet been secured, but it is sufficient to
state that the committee handling the
matter is capable and will make a most
creditable showing at the appointed
time
If all the plans which the committee
on arrangements has in hand material
ize the opening parade will unquestion-
ably be the most spectacular demon
stration of its kind that has ever been
witnessed here. The yards of the har-
vester company have been secured in
which to assemble the various divi-

the ColfaX division, the race horse and
live stock division, the carnival divi-
gettes' division with its slit skirts, It's
high boots and its militancy. This will
be led by a clown band composed part
ly of players from the carnival COM
drawn from the Moscow band This
division means a good laugh for every
spectator and Will be one of the most
amusing features of the parade.
Have Plenty of Floats.
The commercial division will be
formed of various floats entered by the
merchants of the city and

)f horses and the famous bucking bull.

show animals that will be seen later on
he grounds and every horse that will
inter the races during the entire fair.

Unless the northern states swing
the rest of Mexico to their position,
they will form a separate group OF

Mexicans in the states nearest the
American border there is a strong de-
mand for annexation. The people
there are somewhat Americanized and
they want peace.

American interests own 43 per cent
of the total wealth of Mexico"
Fall said estimates of damage to

WASHINGTON April THAT the
country Is now facing crisis which
will put to the sharpest test the cana
city of the government for dealing
efficiently with the problem of river
regulation and the prevention of an
nual foods was the declaration of
Senator Newlands of Nevada In a
statement issued today. He outlined
a nationwide plan for preventing
such foods as occur in 80 out OF
every 100 years"
"All the losses from foods" the
. senator said, ARE due to one cause
the too rapid run-off of rain. What
is needed in the rivers is steadiness
Of flow and on the land the obstruc-
tion Of the run-off to prevent soil ero-
sion.
First among the means Of obstruct-
ing run-off is the preservation and re.
planting of our forests. A second
means is found in the proposed con-
struction of dams for the formation
, Of large reservoirs at selected sites
on the headquarters of streams. The
+. storage of large bodies Of water in
this manner for the regulation of the
water supply of canals and rivers is
practiced at many places in France
and other countries, and for at leas
seventy-five years in Ohio on tfst
j Miami and Erie canal, the Ohio ant
+, Erie canal and elsewhere. The cos
! of the works could be repaid, in par
at least, by the sale Of the power gen
/, Grated.
! "A third means Is the deepening
widening and straightening of the riv
er channels, the building Of levees
end the laying of revetments alons
the banks. These are methods of un
disputed propriety, always provided
! the work is done in comprehensive
way, taking each river system as I
4 whole into consideration from source
!, to mouth, and removing the appropria
tions from political control"
Senator Newlands pointed out tina
the time is ripe for decision to saw
the country from further waste b,
flood. Half billion dolars-half thu
annual cost Of running the govern
ment-he estimated will save thu
United States from many billions o
j damage.
