Object to Removal.

A complete abstract of the assess
ment rolls has been submitted to the
state board of equalization and it is
not known just why that body should
request the rolls themselves. The
matter will be taken up further at a
special meeting of the county commits
sioners tomorrow. 1t is said that
should the assessment rolls be destroy
ed during their shipment to Boise
they could not be replaced for less
than 100000
The commissioners stated this after,
noon that it is not known whether
the Potlatch Lumber company will
make a fight to lower their own as
sessment or to raise the assessment
of agricultural lands In the county.
In either case the county board will
stand firm on the action that they
have already taken in raising the
assessments on timber lands to
equalize the taxes on the two classes
of property. They declare that the
ratio between the assessments on
farm and timber lands is practically
the same as it has been for the past
three years and that the change which
is desired by the Potlatch company
would result in great injustice to the
farming interests.

BULK GRAIN
PLAN IS GROWING
HEAD OF FARMERS UNION IN
NORTHWEST VISITED MOS
cow TODAY.
Declares That High Price OF Grain
Bags and Loss to Grower VIII Result
in Warehouses Being Abolished.

| That warehouses all over the north
west will eventually be replaced with
modern elevators within the very
near future is the prediction of L. c..
Crow, head of the Farmers educational
and cooperative society with jurisdic-
ton in the northwest, who was Wis
itor in Moscow today from his home
in Pullman.
Mr.. Grow declares that there are
several elevators in operation in the
Big Bend region which have proved
very satisfactory to the farmers, how
ever, he declares that the Importance
of elevators in this vicinity and in
northern Idaho has not yet presented
itself forcibly enough. In Cottonwood
in Idaho county, an elevator with a
capacity of $4,000 bushels is now be-
ing erected which marks the opening
of the movement in that section. Mr.
Grow believes that farmers unions in
Latah and other counties will adopt
the plan at no distant date.
Campaign of Education.
ut will require a systematic plan
of education to bring about results
and farmers will find it absolutely ne
cessary to bulk their grain within
few years." said Mr.. Crow. When the
Panama canal is opened and the mar
kets of the world opened for our grain
we must adapt ourselves to the condi-
tions now prevailing on the Atlantic
seaboard.
"There is considerable advantage to
the elevator plan. We will be able to
mix and clean our grain and thus Sc
cure the highest market value and
still retain the screenings which is
now gained by the dealer. There will
be the advantage of getting away
from the high price of sacks. 1t is
true that less will be paid for bulk
grain than for sacked, however, there
will still be an advantage to the
farmer. Altogether the prospects are
bright for an early sentiment among
farmers in favor of the elevator"
Abandon Portland Dock.
Mr.. Grow is interested in the Tri
State Terminal warehouse company
which operates at coast points but
stated that the company had decided
to give I'D its lease on the dock which
it had maintained at Portland for the
past two years. He states that it has
not been a paying proposition and
that it will be unnecessary this
year as the company is not exporting |
grain this year. He returned to his |
home in Pullman today.

CLUMSY FORGER ATTEMPTS TO

Wrong Doing to Chief Robbins.

What is regarded in official circles
as clumsy piece of forgery work de-
veloped today when Bernard Epstein
a young man giving his residence as
Spokane, attempted to pass a $53
check on Ray Carter at the William
son department store this morning.
Epsaein, who looks to be youth
still in his twenties, walked briskly in
to the store and approaching Carter
negotiated for $21 suit of clothes
and $39S suit case, rendering a
check made out on the First National
bank of Moscow to the order of ''R.
B. Jones" and signed by what was
purported to be the signature of Roy
]. Mudgett, the we'll known grain and
feed merchant. The check was prop-
erly endorsed and in addition an ad-
dress, "412 I'd ave" inscribed. Epstein
suggested that he was in hurry and
wanted to catch the Spokane train.
Became Suspicious.
Mr.. Carter, becoming suspicious that
the check was not genuine, asked the
young man to wait until he could make
some alterations in the trousers. He
Immediately telephoned Mr.. Mudgett
and learned that no such check had
been issued by him. 1t was then that
he called for Chief of Police Grant
Robbins who appeared on the scene
promptly and was placed under ar
rest and lodged in the city Jail.
Epstein admitted to the chief that
the check was forgery, but made no
excuse for his action in trying for a
penitentiary term of one to IA years
He said he had been here several
days and soon expected to accept
position harvesting. He had card
in his pocket giving the address of his
father which showed the latter con-

He Had Two More Checks.
On being searched this morning two
other checks of a similar nature were
found, one for s25 and another fol-

with the name of R. j. Mudgett, indi-
eating that he had planned to either
work off a few more checks or had
been practicing at making them out
The prompt work of Mr. Carter in
detecting the forgery indicates that

UNIQUE PLAN
FOR MOSCOW BAND
BOYS BAND NOW BEING ORGAN
lied BY DIRECTOR E. j.
CAREY.
Besides Providing Material for Older
Organization, Would be Novel Ad-
vertisement for the City.

| 1t would be distinct honor, thinks
Band Leader E. J. Carey to cop
first prize at the next Spokane Pow
Wow with band formed of youngsters
between the ages of 8 and 16 years
To do this, however, is only
one of Mr.. Carey's reasons for an
nouncing that he is going to organize
a boys band in Moscow this week.
A boys band will be something new
here, a movement for such an organiz-
alton never having been started be-
fore. The new band will consist of at
least 35 pieces and it's organization
has already been started by Mr.. Carey.
Many boys of the city already have
instruments. Others who wish to en-
ter the band will be urged to order
their instruments this week in order
that regular practice can be started
by the first of September or shortly
thereafter.
"a boys band" said Mr.. Carey,
will insure a good city band for
Moscow for all time to come. Every
year as the boys acquire more pro.
ficiency they will be advanced to the
city band"
Mr.. Carey wishes that all parents
who desire to have their boys in the
new organization would see him this
week so that instruments can be pro-
vided

LATAH TAX ROLLS
ORDERED TO BOISE
IDAHO TAX COMMISSION ISSUES ORDER COM
PEL.LING PRESENCE THERE SATURDAY.
COUNTY MAY COMBAT ORDER
Potlatch Lumber Company Has Appealed to State
Board-Alege Tax Assessments Not Just
And Wants Relief

A fight which may we'll be termed
timber interests versus agricultural
interests is looming up and the coun-
ty commissioners are predicting a
lively session when they appear be-
fore the state board of equalization In
Boise the latter part of this week to
go over with that body the Latah
county assessment rolls for 1913.
Homes Estes, clerk of the county
board, has received a letter from Axel
P. Ramstedt chairman of the state tax
commission, notifying him that the
Potlatch Lumber company will ap-
pear before the board of equalization
to protest against the raise in the as
sessment of their property by the
board of equalization of this county
The Potlatch company has been direct
ed by the tax commission to serve a
copy of their petition on the state
board of equalization setting forth
the grounds of their complaint
against the proposed raise. Next Sat
urday, August 16, has been set as the
date for the hearing of this petition.

County Must Take Rolls.

But where the fight is thickest just
now is on the question of whether the
state tax commission has authority to
compel the county board of equaliza-
tion to submit to the state board of
Equalization the complete tax rolls of
the county. These rolls have been de-
manded by the tax commission, for
the first time in the history of the
county. The commissioners stated this
afternoon that unless they were COM
PEELED by law to submit the rolls they
would not do so. They have taken the
matter up with County Attorney Mis-
bet and have been advised by him that
the tax commission is exceeding its
authority in demanding the rolls. Mr.
Nisbet has, however, wired Attorney
General Peterson for an opinion on the
matter.

Appeal to State.

Dissatisfied with the result of their
fight before the county board a few
weeks ago against any raise in the
assessment of their property the Pot
latch Lumber company has appealed
to the state tax commission prior to
the meeting of the state board of
equalization. Since their appearance
before the county board of equalization
they have been securing the county
collecting data on both agricultural
and timber land besides drawing from
the assessment rolls a complete alb
stract of the real property assess
ments for this year in order that they
may be ready for the fight at Boise
this week. The county commissioners
also have been collecting additional
data on timber land especially and
they, too, will be prepared to fight the
matter out before the state board

Care of Shade Trees.

From the pittsburgh Chronicle-Teiegraph-
In dealing with the problem Of conserv-
ing shade trees on sidewalks. municipali-
ties might we'll take leaf out Of the
book of the Belgian city of Client, where
tree conservation is very effectually pro-
vided for. Ordinarily the shade tree where
there is a pavement has but poor chance
of thrifty growth. Where the pavement
is carried close to the stem of the tree,
the surface water supply is cut off and
the health of the tree suffers. Where an
unpaved space is left around the tree,
the effect is unsightly. rubbish is apt to
accumulate and pedestrians are incon-
venienced The Client plan. as noted in a
report of the American consular agent Ia
that city, is TO leave two-foot space all
around the tree and pave up to a flush
iron ring, within which there Is recess
receiving a sectional removable iron graf
ing flush with the sidewalk. The di-
ameter of the inner ring of the grating
varies according to the size of the tree
to be protected. The device is said to
work admirably, insuring in almost every
instance the life of the tree.
1t is in such seemingly trihing details
as this that the municipal spirit frequent
ly has it's best manifestation. Where there
Is care for the lesser advantages and con-
veniences, 1t Is a reasonable certainty
that there is no neglect of the greater OBJ
legations of government.

persistence in world of spirits, but
science Is still intent on connecting him
most intimately with the life about him,
and showing that there arc no such clear
dividing lines between different forms of
life as the unscientific mind is ready to
accept. An article in the Cornhill
Magazine on the perception of light in
plants closes with this sentence:
The more We study the activity of
plants in relation to the external world,
the more clearly does it appear that the
stimulation of the living substance of
the plant which results in it's response to
external forces is certainly on a lower
plane. but probably only different in de-
gree and not in kind from the stimla-
ton of the much more highly organised
tissue in animals"
Plants sense the light and seek it. They
have fine organization for the concern

enormous number of little lenses: they
feel the lig.it and reach toward it, and
the, impulse continues until an equilib-
rum results from the even distribution
of the light through the moving leaf.

of eyes might, but ut is not probable
that plants are able to see images" II
they were the difference in degree be-
tween them and animals would certainly
