Be A Booster.

DO you know there's lots O people
Settin' round in every town,
Growlin like broody chicken,
knocking every good thing DOWN.
Don't you be that kind O. cattle,
eau e they amt no good on earth
You Just be booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you re worth.
If your town needs hoostin' booster.
Don't hold back to see
If some other fellows wn'
Sail right in, this country free.
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things jest don't seem to suit you,
And the world seems kinder wrong;
What's the matter with a-boostin'
Just to help the thing along
Cause if things should stop agoin'
We'd DO IN a sorry plight:
You jest keep that horn BLOWN =
Booster up with all your might.
II you know some feller's fans
Jest forget 'em, cause you know
That same felers got some points
Them's the ones you want to show.
Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back" IS a sayin' true,
Mebbe, too, they'll come back buttored"
When some feller boosts for you.

Most OF Them do Advertise

One of our exchanges remarks,
now that the farmers have q half
a dozen experiment stations, col
lege of agriculture. aud institutes
without number held for their ben.
eft, why wouldn't it be q good plan
for the state to step in and teach
the country merchant something
about his business. The lord
knows that some of them needs it.
The government would probably
tell them to follow the footsteps OF
the successful catalog houses and
get the business the way they do,
by advertising.

Again We Say the Time...

Melville an attorney for a Chicago
pulp company, was at Pierre las
week interviewing Commissions
Deets as to the advisability of To-
eating a pulp mill in South Dakots
and asked his advise as to the best
point in which to locate this mill
TIE Go nmissioner recommends
that it be located at Aberdeen, Civ.
ing the reason, that the territory
to the west OF the Hub city is of
easy access Mr.. Deets is Il very
busy man-likewise our local COM
mercial club is very busy and the
fact that MObridge has it on her
sister city forty ways, when it
comes to q location for a pulp mill,
has been overlooked by the Com.
missioner.
Mobridge has the best location
for the mill. 1t has three branch
lines, to say nothing of the coast
line, which makes this city meet
ing point. The territory adjacent
is knorn as the flax country Of the
world. Cheap fuel from the North
Dakota fields and the short haul
and correspond .gly cheap freight
rates are other items in favor of
this city. Again the mill could
have a site on the river and the
question of sewage and water for
all time to come would be solved.
Building sites in Aberdeen are
high while on the other hand in
Mobridge they are comparatively
reasonably.
A good many people do not know
what pulp mill is or what pulp
is used for Pulp is the es.
sence of the matter that goes to
make paper such as your news.
papers are printed on. Heretofore
pulp has been made exclusively
from logs, but the government re-
search has brought to light the fact
that pulp can be made from flax
straw. There is no doubt but
what flax straw will be the lonp
wanted substitute for the fast van
ishing pulp timber.
Here is another good chance for
our Commercial Club to get busy
and secure this mill for Mobridge.
1t would probably be a small one
at first. vet it would be the means
Of attracting twenty or more fam
lilies to the city. A pulp mill
would mean paper mill later on
and so further industry would come
of it, own accord. Come on boys
lets get into the game for bigger

WASHINGTON, April 22.-President
Wilson's final word concerning the
anti-alien land law now pending IN
the California legislature, was sent to
Governor Johnson and the presiding
officers of both houses of the legisla-
ture in the following telegram today:
Il speak upon the assumption, which
I am sure is we'll founded, that the
people of California do not desire that
their representatives, and that the rep
resentatives themselves neither wish
nor intend under any circumstances to
embarrass the government of the Uni
ted States in it's dealings with nation
with which it has sought to maintain
relations of genuine friendship and
good will and that least of all do they
desire to do anything which might
impair treaty obligations or cast
doubt upon the honor and good faith
of the nation and government. There
fore I appeal with the utmost con-
fidence to the people, the governor
and the legislature of the state OF Cal
ifornia to act in the matter now un-

The matter of electing a princess to
represent the Moscow chamber at the
Spokane Pow-Wow in June was dis
cussed and referred to the committee
on fairs and celebrations
The committee on public improve
ments, through j. W. Lieuallen, chair
man. urged immediate action by the
chamber to anticipate the paving of
the proposed boulevard from Eighth
street, commencing at Main street,
with the university campus. The
president and secretary of the cham
ber of commerce were authorized to
draft an appropriate resolution to the
city council and the Northern Pacific
Railway company expressing the SEN
timent of the chamber.
The plan is to have the council
first adopt an ordinance covering the
proposed improvement and to sec ,:e
the approval of the company of the
right across the Shannon
tract, which has recently been pur-
chased by the Northern Pacific. 1t is
the wish of the chamber to have the
railway sidetracks constructed further
east than at present.
The matter of a delegation to the
luncheon of the Booster club at

members of the Moscow chamber ex-
pressed their intention of attending
the luncheon, and W. r. Clemans, G.
B. Green and Ralston Butterf1eld were
appointed as committee on arrange
ments to drum up a crowd, furnish

WALDO G. PAINE
IN CITY TODAY

Waldo G. Paine, superintendent of
the Spokane G Inland Railway compa-
ny; A. M. Lupfer, chief engineer and
e. e. Lilly, were in the city today on
a trip of inspection of the road. Mr..
Paine states that the special train
bearing the University of Idaho ca
diets, which left here at $3.50 yester-
day morning, made the run to Hayden
Lake, where the annual encampment
is in progress, in three hours and So
minutes. The company gave the ca
diets the use of it's cottages, camps
and other facilities at the lake, and
the encampment is much more sue
cessful than any formerly held, it is
said.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 22.-Wo-
man suffrage advocates throughout the
country turned their attention upon
Harrisburg today when the state SEN
ate took up the question of whether
Pennsylvania be given an opportunity
to vote on the proposed amendment
permitting women to vote. Today at
II o'clock was the time set for final
consideration of the question.
The campaign for a constitutional
amendment for woman's suffrage
which eliminated in today's action in
the senate was started last May, when
representatives of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage association were per-
mitted for the first time to appear be-
fore the republican and democratic
state conventions and personally urge
their claims. AS a result the republ-
can convention wrote into it's platform
a recommendation Of suffrage to the
careful consideration" of the legis-
lature, and the democratic state plat
form was made to include an un-
equivocal declaration in favor of the
passage )of a suffrage amendment.
Later, when the Washington party was
it also declared for suffrage.
and when the legislature convened
Governor Tener in his message called
the lawmakers attention to the sub
ject.
The suffrage amendment was in
troduced in the house of representa-
tives January 20, by Frank Rockwell
of Tioga county. About the same time
a similar resolution was introduced N
the senate by Senator A. w. Powell of
These resolutions pro-
vided for amendment of the state con-
which would give any woman
II years of age or older the vote.

Market Changes Owners.

A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby Bay Clark of Cora precinct,
became the purchaser of the Third
Street Market. Mr.. Clark is we'll and
favorably known in Moscow and his
many friends here will be pleased to
learn that he will take charge of that
popular market May 1st and become
a resident of this city. He has not yet
decided whether he will bring his fam
lily to Moscow on that date. Pete King,
the retiring. owner, has not announced
his plans for the future.

The senate judiciary general COM
mittee took no action on the Powell
resolution, but the corresponding COM
mittee of the house promptly reported
out the Rockwell resolution and the
suffragists centered their attentions
upon it. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage association had open
ed headquarters in Harrisburg and put
committee in charge of the campaign
for the measure among the represen-
tatives and senator's
The house put its approval on suf-
frage without delay, and the Rockwell
resolution passed finally on February
by vote of 131 to 70. 1t was mes
saged to the senate and referred to the
committee that had been holding the
Powell resolution for weeks.
After much effort on the part of the
suffrage advocates, the judiciary gen.
eral committee agreed on February II
that there should be a hearing one
month later, on March 18. By this
time the anti-suffrage association had
opened headquarters in Harrisburg,
and the hearing on March Is was at
tended by hundreds of women from all
parts of the state, both for and against
the proposition.
When the resolution came up for
third reading on April / it's friends
asked for postponement, urging that
several senators who wished to vote
for it were absent on account of sick
ness. The motion developed a tie
vote, 81 to 81, and Lieutenant Govern
or John NJ Reynolds cast his vote IN
favor of postponement Otherwise the
resolution would have been then
killed Next day the effort to get 1t
to a vote and defeat it was renewed,
and again the vote was a tie, this time
being % to %, the lieutenant governor
once more voting to save the measure.
Until this incident occurred there had
not been an occasion for the lieuten-
ant governor of Pennsylvania to vote
to break tie in the senate since 1883.

Bruce Chairman of New Board.

BOISE, Idaho, April 22.-The state
board of education held it's first meet
ing here yesterday under the new law
creating it and organized with the
election of the following officers:
President, Walter S. Bruce; vice
president, H. Harland; secretary, Her.
man J. Rossi
The board discussed informally the
question of the election of commits
sioner of education Over so applica-
tions are on file.
Two propositions presented them
selves, the first to canvass the appli-
cations, sift them down and later elect
commissioner who will be given gen
eral supervision over state institu-
tions, and, second, to have both
commissioner and financial agent, the
latter to have charge of the finances
of the institutions.
The question of the right of the
board to take over the duties of the
board of regents of the University of
Idaho, provided for in the state con-
stitution, faced the members. 1t is
claimed the new law can not override
the constitutional provision, which
makes the university board fixed
organization. The issue is expected to
be tested in the courts.

Frevert of the University of Idaho on
the subject of Dairy Products" Pro-
fessor Frevert said that the state is

nually in the value of butter fat
through the inefficient care of the
same on the farm. He stated that he
had visited the markets in Spokane
and other cities and found butter

their product to the large creameries,
where it would be properly handled
either as sweet cream or butter fat.
