CITIZENS WANT
MORE SIDEW WALKS
PETITION COUNCIL FOR SEVERAL.
HUNDRED FEET OF NEW
WALKS.
Residents are Tired of Wading
Through Dust or Mud and Want
Relief.

Two petitions each bearing the sig
natures of about twenty citizens of
Moscow were heard by the city cpun.
ell at their last meeting. One petition
prayed for the establishment of a side
walk on Adams and Veatch streets ex-
tending for a distance of 300 feet on
the former and ATT feet on the latter
street. The proposed sidewalk will
commence at the intersection of Adams
and Veatch streets and then extend
eastward on the north side of Veatch
street to the intersection of Harrison
street.
Heretofore the residents of that sec
ton have had no sidewalk at all on
these streets and have been compelled
to wade mud or dust the entire year.
The petition was granted by the coun-
Gil and a walk will be provided in the
near future.
The other petition was presented by
residents on A and Lille streets ask
ing that the property in that section be
furnished with proper sewers in order
that they could connect with the city
sewer system. Their petition was not
acted on by the council but was re-
ferred to the committee on sewers and
water works.

''WINDY" SMITH IN
TROUBLE AGAIN
NOTED LOCAL CHARACTER GETS
TANKED ON JAMAICA GINGER
AND MULCTS RELATIVE.
County Authorities Apprehend the
Fleeing RecaIcitrant at COlfax and
Bring Him Back.

Intoxicated on Jamaica ginger and
angered because his brother-in-law
George ROLAND, proprietor of the
Hotel Del Norte, would not permit him
to sell a coffee perculator for little
spending money, Ed Smith took re-
venge by carrying away a $35 suit
of clothes belonging to ROLAND and
making a getaway on the Colfax train
last night.
Smith was a resident of Orofino un-
til the recent fire in that town burned
him out of business. He came to Mos
COW about a week ago and requensted
that he be given the charge of the Del
Norte dining room. Mr.. ROLAND
granted this request and staked him
with a supply of groceries. The din
ing room had been running only two
days when last nights incident put a
taboo on that means of Strengthening
Smiths financial difficulties and land
ed him in the hands of the sheriffs
office charged with burglary.
AS soon as Smiths absence was not
ed last night the sheriff was notified
and officers along the Colfax line
were wired to arrest him wherever he
might get off the train. He was taken
into custody at Colfax and Deputy
Sheriff Sterling brought him back to
Moscow today
1t is alleged that Smith is an old
timer in north Idaho law-breaking
circles, having been arraigned several
times on the charge of boot Logging.
At the present time he is free ION
good behavior" that restriction having
been imposed on him by Judge Die
trich recently when the prisoner was
taken before him on a bootlegging
charge.
Smiths hearing before Probate
Judge Morgareidge will be held in
The near future.

COPPER STRIKE SITUATION
Conditions Seem Favorable for Early
Settlement of Differences.

CALUMET, Aug. General Abbey,
commanding the state troops, is pre-
pairing to remove part of the force
from the copper mining district. He
expects an order to that effect from
Governor Ferris most any time. The
sheriff of Houghton county is re-
cruiting 900 deputies to aid the pres
ent deputies in guarding the mines
when the troops leave.
There is considerable prospect now
that the strike will be ended in the
copper district at no distant day.
Mine owners and union leaders look
on the situation, how
ever the latter are still firm and did
not take kindly to action of the
board of county commissioners in
with the hiring of addi-
tional deputies. Work is being re-
snmed in the mines.

NADOO TRAILS BOND DECLINE
Secretary of the Treasury Conducts
Probe on Own Hook.

WASHINGTON Aug. 6.-Secretary
McAdoo is conducting a quiet investi-
cation to obtain evidence to sustain
his charge that recent abrupt declines
of United States per cent bonds was
due almost wholly to what appears to
be a campaign waged with every indi-
cation of concerted action on the part
of a number of influential New York
city banks to cause apprehension and
uneasiness about these bonds, in order
to help them in their efforts to defeat
the currency BILL
National Bank Examiner Starek in
New York city for several days has
been collecting data concerning pur-
chases and sales of the 2 per cents by
the big banks of New York, with the
purpose of determining, it is under
stood, whether there has been any un-
usual transactions in those securities.
This move was induced, it is be-
lieved by the attacks on the secretary
for expressing the opinion of prob
able concerted effort in New York to
depress the per cents and demands
for his proof Resolutions to investi-
gate the situation are pending in con-
gress and it is thought the secretary is
preparing himself for the inquiry If 1t
is ordered. Starek's report has not
yet reached Washington.

MEXICAN REBELS
STYLED BRIGANDS
PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED IN
MOSCOW DIRECT FROM CITY
OF MEXICO TODAY.
Criticizes Wilson Administration and
Declares Huerta Should Be Rec
Ognfzed-MOney Made There.

According to advices received in a
private letter here today from an
American in Mexico City, the view is
expressed that the American govern
ment is making a mistake in not rec
ognizing the Huerta government. The
brief remarks indicate that the rebels
are nothing more than gang of bri-
gands. The view is expressed that
Mexico is "the land of tomorrow"
For private reasons the name of the
sender and receiver of the letter is
not given, but local color is added to
the remarks by reason of the letter
having been received in Moscow to-
day and is fresh from the scene of
herewith quoted in part:
This is the land of tomorrow
most people put off until tomorrow
the things they should do today. But
the country is delightful many op-
portunities for making money, and
now is the time for securing the best
ones before peace comes. 1t will be
only a question of time until the pres
ent government clears the republic of
bandits, for that is all the rebels are,
then this country will have a great
boom.
"Our president and cabinet officials
at Washington are making a serious
mistake. They sohuld have recognize
ed President Huerta at the start. His
government is the only power that is
carrying law and order wherever its
army goes.
Millions of dollars have gone to
other countries on account of this
1t will take years
'or the merchants of the United
States to get back where they were
| few short months ago."

IDAHO LOANS HEAVY.
State Land Board Will Not Put Out
More Money at Pre-
sent.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
loan business done by the state land
board may be CLEANED from the state
ment that the loans on land have in
creased in the past two years practl-
cally million and half dollars. The
loans outstanding now approximate
$2,000,000, and there are applications
on file with the land board at the pre-
sent time for upward of $4,000 more.
No additional loans will be made,
says Register Jenness, at this time,
for the reason that the funds from
which the loans are made are exhaust
ed A number of loans have been al
lowed by the land board. but the bor-
rowers will not get their money until
funds come in.

SAYING IN COST
OF TEXT BOOKS
ROARD OF EDUCATION PLANS TO
GET BETTER RESULTS WITH
LESS MONEY.
Secretary OF Board Has Just Issued
a Statement Reviewing Work Ac-
complished Thus Far.

BOISE, Aug. ECONOMY is the
motto adopted by the state board OF
education as is shown by the report
of the secretary of the board on the
matter of the selection of text books
and. other transactions involving fin
ancial expenditures.
The report of the secretary shows
that out of 80 books on the old list a
change of Is has been made and in all
cases, the changes cost less or not more
than the former books, while it is fig
ured that the changes made will prove
beneficial to the educational system.
Taking the list as a whole, consid-
cradle saving has been made. For in
stance, the complete speller was pur-
it had been purchased in parts one and
two at a cost of 26 cents. Thus by the
adoption of the complete book a saving
of AZ per cent was made. The new
reading books adopted by the board
cost $310 per set while the set for
merly used cost $4.33, while similar
saving has been made on books all
down the line. The members of the
, hoard believe that in making the
'..langes they have selected better
books for the pupils without regard
to the consideration in the matter of
dollars and cents, although they did SO
at a good saving to the tax payers.
In making the contracts for coal for
the state educational institutions, the
board made saving of about $4,000
per year. The former custom of letting
each institution purchase it's own coal
was dropped and a general bid for coal
for all the institutions was received,
through which a much lower price
was secured.
Another stroke of economy by the
board which means a saving of several |
thousand dollars year, was the re-
adjustment of the insurance of the
buildings and equipment, by which a !
good reduction was secured.

a jury will be secured before the

case of the government against

Van Fleet.
Nothing has thus far been indicated

the line of defense to be followed.
Both the government and the de-
fendant each have exhausted half
their peremptory challenges in the
examination of veniremen and this
is regarded as a good indication that
a full jury may be empanelled before
evening. The first evidence introduc~
ed of bias against the latitude of the
white slave act was brought out to-
day when three veniremen were ex-
cused for prejudice against the en-
forcement of the act.

Drew Caminetti, who will be tried
later on the same charge, sits beside
