IMPROVEMENTS ARE
MADE At UNIVERSITY
Chief Work Sodding, Paving
and Painting
WALKWAYS EXTENDED
Improvement in External Appearance
of Things as Well as Internal Con-
ditiOn of Institution One of
Denny's Policies

University, August Especial Upon
their return in the fall, the students of
the university will find many improve
ments made since they were last here,
which will render the institution a more
beautiful and more comfortable place.
This is strictly speaking, the open sea-
son for work on the campus and the
buildings There is little time for any
think of the kind during the regular ses-,
sion or the summer school, and the two
weeks between commencement and the
opening of the summer term are given to
preparation for the summer students. But
August finds the campus and the build
ings deserted; men are available for inn
provement work; and DR.. Denny him
self finds time to give it some personal
supervision.
The chief work that is being done this
summet is sodding paving, and painting.
The Quadrangle, the centre of university
life. which has been bare of grass in
many places since its arrangement was
changed last summer, it being asodded
with Bermuda. If the weather is favor
able from now ON, when college opens
in September, this court. around which
the dormitories are built, will be green
from the edges of the driveway and the
walks to the walls Of the buildings.
Out in front of the quad-the paved
walk which stretches in front of Manly,
Clark and Garland halls on the north
side of the driveway is being extended
to the doors of Smith and Morgan halls.
On the south side of the drive, a parallel
walk of the same extent is being laid.
Down the west side of the drive which
leads from University avenue to Clark
hall, another paved walk, is being con-
structed as far as the centre of the cam
pus. Still another will be built from
Morgan hall to the southwest corner of
the campus.
But as useful as the pavements are,
the change that will catch the eye quick
est is the painting of Tuomey and Bar
nard halls. the chemistry building and
the gymnasium. These dingy brick struc-
lures will. be given a coat of rich cream
color to make them agree in tone with
the rest of the campus buildings.
Improvement in the external appear
ance of things as well as in the internal
condition of the institution is one of the
policies of President Denny. And, as the
means at his disposal permit. he is max
ing the university a more beautiful and
more livable place.

TRAIN SERVICE
IS INTERRUPTED
RAIN YESTERDAY CAUSES WASH.
OUT ON LEWISTON LINE OF
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
While Transfers Of Passengers and
Mall Must be Made There VIII be
No Serious Delay of Trains.

Because Of the washout of a section
of the track Of the Northern Pacific
between Kendrick and Juliaetta last
evening following the heavy rain
storm yesterday, passenger trains on
the Palouse branch to and from Lew
iston will be unable to operate with
out transfers being made at Kendrick
until tomorrow sometime when offic-
ials state that the line will be open.
The storm which visited this section
was the most severe this season and
in the Potlatch section rain and hail
fell in great quantities which resulted
in a raise in the Potlatch creek caus-
ing the washout
According to information received
this morning the damage to crops in
this section was slight and even in
the Potlatch region there was little
damage.
The rain also visited the Lewiston
and prairie sections but according to
report so far received there was not
much damage to crops.

RURAL CREDIT
SCHEME In FAVOR
PRESIDENT WILSON WILL SECURE
ACTION FOR SPEEDY
PLAN.
Was Left Out of Currency Bill Be-
cause of Lack Of Time In Which to
Formulate Plan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-President
Wilson has issued a statement declar-
ing in favor of complete and adequate
system of credits, explaining that such
legislation was not added to the cur
rency bill because there was no time
in which to prepare the plan. The
president promised to secure early ac-
ton for complete rural credit scheme.
The statement in part says:
There has been too little federal
legislation framed to serve the farmers
directly with a deliberate adjustment
to his real needs, that we long ago
fell into the habit Of assuming that
American farmers enjoyed such an
immense natural advantage over farm
ers of the rest of the world, that he
was so intelligent, enterprising and
so at ease upon this incompatible soil
of ours that they could prosper no mat
ter what the handicap carried"
