Moscow merchants to buy of you.
"In our Community Development
work we are laying great stress on the
fact that the home merchant should
first of all be patron of the advertis-
ing columns of his home paper. One
of the best ways that your home mer-
chant can keep Moscow money in
Moscow is to let the people of Moscow
know through the columns Of Moscow
papers that they can do better there

cate retail merchants everywhere to
do just that thing. Under separate

NEW SYSTEM OF
STUDENT TICKETS
IDAHO UNIVERSITY WILL INAUGU-
RATE FOR FIRST TINE PLAN
TO HELP ATHLETICS.
All Students VIII Participate and Thus
Relieve Necessity Of Dividing Up
On Gate Receipts.

Becoming operative at the opening OF
tenn of student tickets to all athletic
contests will be tried this year for the
first time at Idaho. Its agitation last
spring by Graduate Manager aLrson
led to vote on the question by the
student body and the new plan was
adopted without dissenting opinion.
The price of the new ticket will amount
virtually to so, being included in an in
crease of S per semester of the regular
registration fee required by the student
organization.
Where heretofore it has cost every
student attending all contests from $8
to $40 during the entire season the cost
would now seem to be reduced below
an amount necessary to meet the ex-
penses of the athletic activities. But
this difficulty is not so formidable DIS it
might appear to be. 1t must be remem-
UeISu tudI tHlS 20 10 9lU mas De6n PAID
by not more than a fourth or fifth of
the students, the remainder attending
scarsely any athletic contests except
the w. S. c. football game.
Now the expense OF maintaining ath-
letics will be more equitably dstrbu-
ted. every student paying his or her
proportionate share, and it is thought
by Manager Larson that through the
new plan as much money will be real
ized as through the old system of sin
gle tickets.
The new student ticket plan will,
however, necessitate change in the
system of guarantees offered visiting
teams meeting Idaho on the home
ground. Instead of offering the w. S.
G. management so per cent of the gate
receipts as in previous years fiat
guarantee of $1,000 will be given. Ida
ho will, in turn, receive a like amount
when she meets w. S. c. next year at
Pullman The Whitman team ais, with
be offered a fiat guarantee this year
Of $500 with no view to the amount of
he gate receipts.

PAIR STEAL COAT
Woman and Companion Apprehended
as They Were Leaving for
Lewiston.

A man giving his name as Lou
Easterday and a woman travelling with
him whose name was not learned
were arrested this morning by Chief
of Police Grant Robbins as they were
making ready to board the noon train
to Lewiston Complaint was made by
Mayme Shurtz, an employe at the Mos
COW hotel that she had lost coat that
was left hanging in a hallway and
suspicion was Immediately attached
to the pair who were a little later ar
rested.
Chief Robbins followed the couple to
the train and after arresting them
searched their suitcase for the coat
but failed to find it. From their con-
duct, however, the officer felt sure that
his clue was good one and brought
his prisoners back to their room at
the hotel, where he left them for a
moment as he stepped into the hall.
Returning before he was expected he
saw the woman throw the stolen coat
on the bed,- having drawn it, it is sup
posed, from underneath her clothing
In fear of being more closely search
ed
Her story ran to the effect that she
had stolen the coat but that having
heard someone in the hall talking OF
making an arrest she had hid the gar
ment under the bed before leaving the
hotel.
Miss Shurtz expressed her unwilling
ness to prosecute the affair SO Chief
Robbins released his prisoners and ad-
gised that they get out of town as
'oon as possible. They will leave for
lewiston on the evening train.

MAINE GOES REPUBLICAN,
Democrats Lose Congressional Office4s
PrOgresiyes Defeated.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9.-In the
the congressional election held in the
third district to name a successor to
the late Forrest Goodwin, republican
representative to congress from that
district, Speaker John A. Peters, re-
publican Of Ellsworth was elected to
fill the vacancy by a plurality of 553
over William NJ Pattangall, democrat
of Waterville, with Edward NJ. Lawr-
ence of Lubec, third.
1t was a distinct victory for the re-
publican party and the result has been
watched with interest in political cir
cles all over the country. The poor
showing of the progressives candidate
indicates the falling off OF sentiment
In the favor of that party.

Interest in Runs.

Considerable interest has always
been manifested in the cross country
work but under an arrangement of this
sort, thinks the coach, more enthusi-
asm would be shown and many more
men could be induced to enter the
runs. Through the cross-country is af-
forded q good means of getting a line
on the most likely track candidates
early in the fall and also of getting
good squad hardened up for indoor
practice. Besides this it is a popular
sport in itself and as such is entered
every year by men who do not hope to
make the spring track squad.
Among the new runners whom Mr..
Edmundson expects TO compete for the
trophy in case one should be offered
are Bonneville, from Coeur d'Alene.
Gerlough, from Boise, and DeFiayen
from Grangeville al of whom will
be long remembered by their respec-
tive high school records on the cinder
path.

SAVED BLOCK
FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT

Barn Burns and Episcopal Guild Hall
Damaged-WhOle block was in DAN
ger on Account of High Wind.

A fire which threatened for a time
to completely destroy several resi-
dences, the Episcopal church, Guild
hall and couple of barns broke out at
about 10 o'clock last night in a small
barn belonging to Mrs. Thomas
across the alley from the Guild hall
and ragged unrestricted for several min
utes before the arrival of the fire lad
dies. In this time it had gained such
headway that the barn could not be
saved and only through valiant fighting
was the residence at 203 East First
street, the one next door occupied by
Rev. Watson and the Guild hall adjoin-

AWARD MEDALS
TO TRACK WINNERS
TRACK COACH EDMUNDSON HAS
NEW SCHEME TO RECOGNIZE
RECORD WINNERS,
Gold Medal Trophy May be Kept In Uni
versity Athletic Room and Bronze
Replica to Winner.

AS a means of arousing more inter
est this year in the cross-country runs
Track Coach Hec Edmundson is plan
ming to take up with the student athlet-
ic board the matter of providing a
large gold medal to be retained per-
manently in the trophy room at the
varsity gymnasium as a reminder of
cross country winners. The medal will
bear string of gold bars suspended
by chains, one bar being added each
year bearing the inscription of the win
ner's name and the time made by him
in the run. The run covering a four
mile course will be the same every
year so the time made by each run
ner will not be without significance.
1t is further proposed by Coach Ed
to offer a small bronze medal
to the winner each year and to the win
ner of three successive runs to present
a large bronze medal in duplication of
the gold trophy kept at the gymnasium.

High Wind Ragged.

The high wind that was raging car
ried the fire from the burning barn
to the roof of the Guild hall only few
feet away and considerable damage
to the latter structure was done be-
fore the flames could be extinguished.
Several other nearby buildings were
badly scorched.
1t is not known how the fire originat-
ed but it is the common belief that
the 'boy with cigarette" theory is ap-
plicable. The fire companies are to
be commended for their quick response
to the alarm and for the effective serv-
ice they rendered in checking the
spread of the flames in a wind that was
almost as strong as the water pres

capitalists and representative citizens
of West Virginia, arrived in Oroville
Thursday of last weeK remaining over
until the following Tuesday, when
they returned to their eastern homes.
The gentlemen came out for the pur-
pose of looking over the mining pro-
perties controlled by Henry Bahrs,
and spent their time while here care
fully and thoroughly inspecting the
claims. They left we'll satisfied with
what they saw, and their visit will
probably be followed soon by the in
auguration of extensive work, and
along lines that will demonstrate for
once and all the value of the country
as a possible mineral producer. Mr.
Bahrs has secured good ground as to
locality. and states that he has some
excellent showings in the way of
lodges in place.

Col. Roosevelt entertained number
of distinguished peace advocates at a
private dinner the other day at Oyster
Bay. Representatives of the press
were barred and no report of the
speeches or discussions of the guests
was made public, but the colonel pre-
pared little synopsis of what Mr..
Roosevelt said and handed it to a
gracious press. The report contained
a sly little jibe at friend Carnage,
but failed to include the repartee of
the canny Scot. That was Roose-
veltian, but not quite so much so as
the quotation from his address in
which the colonel said, 81, myself. am
slow to make promises, but once made
| believe in keeping them to the let
ter" This is one of Teddies finest
bits of humor. He undoubtedly had
in mind his declaration about a third
term when he made that statement
and smiled at thought of the grin that
would greet it throughout the country
The little report prepared by Mr.
Roosevelt had the interesting infor-
nation tackled on the end that the
colonel entertained his guests at din
ner dressed in kakhi riding suit and
spurred boots. The explanation for
this seeming eccentricity, gentlemen
is that the colonel was trying to give
a close imitation of the tabled man
on horse back. He wears those spurs
to prick the sides of his intent" that
vauIuIns aInpItIon may not "o'er
leap itself and fall on the other"

with itself, that sees in the expedient
thing perfect realization of the ideal.
Mr.. Roosevelt has just such mental
twist and moral warp as that, and 1t
accounts largely for what we ordinary
mortals are prone to call inconsist-
ency and dishonesty. 1t is neither
the one nor the other, but an over
towering ego that makes it natural
for him to believe that everything he
says is the law and everything that
he does is the truth. a similar cere-
bral contortion is the only thing that
accounts for the course of Governor
Lister, or that can excuse it, in dis
regarding his pledges oft affirmed
that he would retain efficiency wher-
ever he found it in the public service
and would make no appointments for
political or partizan reasons.
One fact stands out clearly. The
public service in this state is injured
in an important place by the removal
of Jesse S. Jones from the public
service commission. But Mr.. Jones
goes back into private life with a
clean record of honorable service and
the clear conscience of duty we'll per-
formed If not justly rewarded
