SUNK IN SIGHT OF LAND
Moscow Girls Return From Alaska
With Fund of Good Stories.

The steamer State of California
which recently foundered in Alaskan
waters when many lives were lost,
went down in sight of land on all sides
according to report brought to Mos
COW by young ladies who have return
ed home from an Alaskan trip reach
ing Seattle on the Dolphin and Mos
COW last evening. Those returning
were the Misses Ruth Broman, Louise
Barton, lone Adair and Winifred Cal
kins.
The Moscow girls visited many
points of interest in Alaska and came
home with fund of enjoyable tales
of their travels. They visited several
days at Skagway and Sitka and also
enjoyed a trip on the Yukon and White
Pass railway, visiting Miles and
Childs glaciers. The steamer on which
the girls took passage from Seattle car
ried 200 people rushing to the Shus-
hanna gold fields and they report that
half of them were on the Dolphin
coming back-minus gold and some
experience.
On the Dolphin returning were
some survivors from the State of
California and the girls had an OPP
portunity of getting first hand stories
of the wreck which sent the ship to
the bottom of the sea within three
after she struck.

WANT PLACE FOR FARMER
Now Scrapping in Washington Over
Industrial Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Col. Har-
ris Weinstock of Sacramento will not
be confirmed as a member of the ma
tional industrial commission right off,
if Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia can
prevent it. And Smith is chairman of
the senate committee which has in
charge the report on the nominations
in this case.
Smith wants farmer named on the
industrial commission. The fact that
President Wilson has filled the list,
and there's no place for a farmer
without crowding off some one already
there, cuts no figure with the senator
from Georgia, whereat Senator Hughes
of New Jersey, is far from pleased.
Hughes is the only trade union SEN
ator, and he wants this commission
to get on the problem of prevention of
strikes.
Smiths reason for insisting on
farmer is said to be the fact that his
chief political enemy, Joe Brown,
wants to beat him for the senatorial
honor next time. Brown is strong
with the Farmers Union in the south.
Smith is trying to checkmate him.
The industrial situation meanwhile
will have to take care of itself.

be no time lost to teachers employed

MEN IN JAIL
APPEAL CASE
CHARGED WITH GAMBLING ARE
SENTENCED AND NOW
DOING TIME.
Pitched Quarters at Crack-Men Al
lege We're Not Gambling and Case
Will Go. Up.

Appealing from the Judgment of the
| justice court in the case OF Roy Otney
and George Hawks who were recently
convicted and sentenced to an op-
tional fine of 5000 or 20 days i'll jail
each on. charge of gambling, Attor-
ney William E. Lee for the defendants,
filed notice of such appeal with JUS
tice of the Peace Anderson this after
noon alleging the defendants were
never advised of the charge against
them and that their plea of guilty was
made under misapprehension and that
the conviction was made without re-
gard to either the law or the facts.
A peculiar condition exists with re-
gard to the appeal. Both men are
now in the Nez Perce county jail serv-
ing out the 20 days sentence and be-
fore the appeal can be heard will have
probably served out the Jail sentence.
The case will go to the probate court
where they take the chances of re-
versing the Judgment or standing for
a new trial. In the latter instance it
might be possible where they convict
ed again that they could be given an
other sentence.
Both men were recently arrested on
a charge of pitching quarters at
crack, though they alleged they were
not gambling. Under stress, it is al
legged, they were induced to plead
guilty expecting to get off with a
minimum fine but the court reversed
their belief.
