What the Banker Says.

Il want to see the time that
when a farmer applies for loar,
the banker will not have to bet
on the ability of the farmer and
the favor of the season to meet
the obligation to his bank. ]
want to see the banker ask how
many silos the farmer has; how
many head of good hogs, good
cattle, and other livestock and
what condition they are in, and
how much attention the farmer
pays to dairy products and feed
crops. The banks would rather
lend money at eight per cent,
knowing you have the stuff to
meet the obligation, than at the
present rates of interest charged.
By simply changing agricultural
methods and diVersifying crops,
you can change your standing
with the banks. Nothing in the
world will keep you from paying
high prices for foodstuffs unless
you cultivate the soil. Asa E.

With the advent OF real summer
weather, which is somewhat overdue
in this section, we might remark in
passing, one of the most delightful
forms of entertainment comes to
light, or rather, to air-the band con-
cert each week at the city park.
Fortunately, no very great learning
is necessary to thoroughly enjoy music
in the open-it only needs good di-
gestion, congenial companionship and
an infectious gayety. The mere
sound of music in the distance quick
ems the pulse, brightens the eye, and
evokes smile.
At the city park tomorrow after
noon at 2:30 if, as we said before,
the weather is pleasant, the Moscow
band under the direction Of Professor
E. ]. Carey, will give the first of its
series of outdoor concerts, which have

Secretary of Navy Rolled.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Grim
inal prosecution of unscrupuous
newspaper editors who, without justi-
fication, have printed alarming stories
of how near war is between the Uni
ted States and Japan, is urged by Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, himself a
publisher.
"The reports that the government
is facing a crisis in the Japanese sit
uation and is preparing for an inter
national struggle" said Daniels, "and
the repeated statements that the truth
is being withheld and the public de-
ceived, are justified only so far as the
public permits itself to be misled
by certain unscrupulous portions of
the press. If there was the slightest
justification for the publication of
these war scares I would be the first
man wanting the public to know the
facts There is not the slightest
for their existence"

crew of men digging the storm sewer
on A street came across several huge
bones and the teeth of what is sup
posed to have been mastodon. The
bones were about IL inches in dia-
meter and the teeth, states Superin-
tendent Wright, were larger than any
buffalo teeth he had ever seen. They
were found in a bed of solid clay at
a depth of Ia feet. The bones were
left at the side of the ditch and dur
ing the absence of the workmen were
taken by various parties interested in
the curiosity, so that no one with au-
thoritative knowledge on the subject
of extinct animals was given an OPP
portunity to examine them.

Yes, the paving work goes blithely

commence grading on Main street
Monday morning at the corner Of
Third, and will follow Carlson's gang
of men laying the water mains south.
AS soon as the grading is completed
the curb will be put in, which means
that the festive rock crusher and the
concrete mixer will whoop and whistle
and make things lively down on the
vacant space at the corner of Eighth

COMMITS SUICIDE

OAKLAND, Cal, May 17.-H. E.
Magill, who was recently appointed
city clerk, committed suicide today by
jumping from the 14th story of the
new city hall.
The act was committed in plain view
of the girls employed in Capwell's
department store adjoining the city

plunge off the side of the 14th story
and land on a projection on the 18th
floor, bound up, then fall in crumpl
ed heap.
A boy rushed to Magill's aid but
life was extinct with every bone in
his body broken.

SERIOUS
CRIME AGAINST BOY

LEWISTON, May 17.-Wm. Jones is
held in the city Jail to answer to a
the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. V.
Brewer, who are camping east of the
city near the stock yards. The crime
is alleged to have been committed in
Latah county near Harvard, and Jones
will be taken to Moscow to be taken
before the district court. He yester-
day admitted his guilt in the presence
of Chief of Police Masters and County
Attorney Johnson.
The arrest of Jones resulted from
his action in going before the police
and demanding the arrest of an Ital-
ian, Joe Barber, who had supplied the
camping party with too much wine.
Jones was accompanied to the camp
grounds by Officers Gentry and Smith.
1t seems Jones joined the Brewer
camping party early last season and
they harvested together in the Pa
louse country They spent the winter
at Harvard, where the men worked at
the logging camps and short time
ago they again started out with their
camp wagons and reached Lewiston
several days ago. The parents of the
ob;ld otatod thoxr EpoW .of his mis-
treatment at the time but made no
effort to have Jones prosecuted and he
continued to be member of the party
until Thursday evening when he was
ordered to pack blankets and leave
the camp. 1t was then that he went
to the police and complained OF the
Italian and his wine and the arrest
followed.
