MAY RECOGNIZE
MEXICAN REBELS
REPORTED STATE DEPARTMENT
IS SEEKING IMPORTATION
LEADING TO THAT END.
Would Partially Recognize Them as
Belligerants and Permit ImpOrta-
ti0n of Arms to Overthrow
Huerta.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.--Convinced
that President Huerta has no idea OF
relinquishing his grip on Mexico, but
aims to emulate former President
Diaz, the administration is admitted
ly considering the recognition of the
Mexican rebels as belligerants.
1t is persistantly reported that the
state department in an unofficial COM
munication to Constitutionalist lead
ers, is seeking information concerning
their plans for reform and endeavor-
ing to learn what pledges they are pre-
pared to give in return for at least
partial recognition.
This would give the rebels the right
to import arms from the United States
and it is believed would insure Huer-
ta's speedy overthrow.

SELL STOCK IN
FAIR ASSOCIATION
DIRECTORS PLAN TO PUT ORGAN
IZATION ON FIRM FINANCIAL
BASIS.
VIII Make Next Years Fair Bigger
and Better Than EYer-NO De-
felt This Year.

With a view. of placing the Latah
county fair association on a firm fin
ancial basis, the directors have voted
to dispose of some of the capital stock
of the organization among public
spirited people of Moscow and through
this means work toward the end of
making the fair next year one of the
best ever attempted here.
At a meeting just held the directors
devoted their time to disposing of
claims against the association and the
statement is now made that the third
annual fair was a great financial sue
cess, the receipts having exceeded the
disbursements.
The association is incorporated for
s25,000 OF this some $4,000 of the
capital stock has been disposed of. The
association has acquired the fair
grounds consisting of something over
10 acres besides building the fences,
grandstand, stables, exhibit halls and
grading the track. The 1854 acres
were purchased at cost of $5742 and
of this sum there still remains about
$4,000 due. Over $4,000 has been ex-
pended in the improvements. The
sale of additional stock in the associa-
ton is for the purpose of paying off
the $4,000, which Indebtedness had
been assumed by holding company
of the directors of the fair
The great success of the past fair
has stimulated interest in the associa-
ion and it is expected no difficulty will
be experienced in making the sale. A
committee composed of Messrs. Lyons,
Lewis and Nankervis will have charge
Of the sale of stock.

Wants to Eliminate Johnson From Ida.
no Lineul1ReQuest Granted.

1t is now settled that Jack" john
son will not be worked in the Idaho
w. S. C. game Friday afternoon. His
loss will be keenly felt though his re-
moval from right end has not dis
couraged the other members of the
team. On the contrary it is safe to
predict that their fighting spirit will
be all the keener, since it is common
ly believed that w. S. C.'s protest was
in no way justified.
Fridays game will be played OH the
old field at the fair grounds owing to
the condition of the new stadium. The
continued wet weather has made the
new field so muddy that it would be
next to impossible to hold the game
there The old field is being put in
to condition and will be in good shape
for the battle. The grandstand and
bleechers will easily accommodate the
crowd and will afford protection from
the rains.

COURT DECIDES
NO AMENDMENTS
REFUSED TO ACCEDE TO PROSECU
TION IN SULZER CASE FOR
AMENDED COMPLAINT.
Attorney On Both Sides are Of the OPP
fnlOn That the Present Articles are
Fatally Defective.

ALBANY, Oct 15.-The Sulzer i'm
parchment court has denied the re-
quest of the prosecution for permission
to amend the impeachment articles
against Governor William Sulzer, but
the ruling is regarded as no particul-
ar victory for the governor.
1t is the view of the defense that
the failure of the articles to mention
Duncan Peck and Henry Morganthau
as witnesses whose testimony the ex-
ecutive tried to suppress, coupled with
the fact that they were the only wit
nesses that gave evidence that he tried
to tamper with witnesses, constituted
a fatal defect in the case of the prose-
cution. Attorneys for the prosecution
feared the same thing.
THE court held that the original ar
ticles were broad enough to include
Peck and Morganthau and that an
amendment was unnecessary.

In addition to the economy in de-
stroying stumps in clearing lands, he
also told of his experiments in con-
densing the wood and the extraction OF
chemicals, which he said abound in
Idaho timber. He showed results OF
his experiments in the hardening and
coloring of wood that was heretofore
considered of little value. He declared
that what was formerly considered
useless wood could be economically
treated and hardened and used in the
manufacture of piano cases. He dis
played samples of lombard popular,
elm and pines which had been reuuc-
ed through chemical action to highly
polished material.

ENGINEERING CREW
STIRS POPULACE
MUCH SPECULATION OVER PRES
ENCE IN MOSCOW OF MEN WITH
SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS.
Wild RumOrs Afloat-Rep0rted May be
Spokane Il Inland Men Working
Out Lines for Extension South.

Considerable speculation and excite
ment has been rife for several days
over the appearance in Moscow of q
party of engineers, variously reported
to be in the employ of the Spokane &
Inland, the Milwaukee line and the O.
w. R. & N. but as yet no definite line
on the object of their presence or the
interests represented has been dis
closed and until some statement is
forthcoming the occurrance will re.
main a mystery.
The engineering party, consisting OF
five or six men with surveying instru-
ments, reached here Sunday night
over the Inland from Spokane and reg
istered at the Hotel Moscow. Men
in the party when seen yesterday at
work refused to divulge the object of
their presence here or in whose in
terests they were employed.
Through Rich Territory.
During several months past it has
frequently been reported that the Spo-
kane & Inland would begin surveys for
the extension of it's line from Moscow
through the rich fertile grain section
of the territory south and east touch
ing Cotton, Uniontown and Genesee
and with the ultimate object of
carrying its line through to Lewiston
1t is reported that the engineers have
been engaged in preliminary work op-
general inference is that the men are
in the employ of the Spokane and In
land. Lately there has been some agi-
tation in Moscow seeking to urge the
Spokane & Inland to build such an ex
tension and the view prevails that the
company has taken the matter prompt
ly in hand with that possible object.
May be Milwaukee Line.
Another report is current that the
Milwaukee line, seeking to touch the
Moscow territory has sent a crew here
to make a reconnaissance survey with
the possibility of building branch
to connect up the St. Maries branch,
however this view is held to be remote
Other reports are to the effect that
the O.-W. r. & ~, after many years of
inactivity in this territory in reaching
out for some of the tonnage of this sec
ton is now contemplating the extern
sion of it's line through to the Union
town country with view of securing
its share of the grain tonnage.
Reports Were Speculative.
All such reports are mere specula-
ton, however, railroad activity in the
Moscow district would not be unwel
come and the hope exists among Mos
cow people that the presence of engi
leers presages some future develop
nent of this character.
