WINTER WHEAT
IS DOING FINE
REPORTS INDICATE BEEN GOOD
WINTER FOR GRAIN IN LATAH
COUNTY.
VIII be Falling OF in Acreage-Farm.
ers Sowing Forage Cr0ps-Spring
Flowing Now Starting.

According to reports by prominent
farmers Of Latah county the winter
wheat sown in this section is regard
ed as in fine condition at the present
time, however, it is stated that the
acreage sown will fall off by Is per
cent owing to more grass being sown
this year. Farmers are paying atten-
ton to forage crops in this vicinity
and clover and timothy have been
sown freely by those who feel that alf-
alta will not bring as great returns,
though some of the latter has been
sown.
The past winter has been a splendid
one for crop conditions. The ground
is full of moisture and the prospects
seem bright for splendid yield of all
grains. Spring plowing is just start
ing in this locality and farmers gen.
orally report the ground in excellent
condition. Altogether the conditions
have been ideal for good crops, no bad
frosts or other serious difficulties at !
tending. The prospects for a good |
bean crop are also bright.

REBALLAST AND
LAY NEW STEEL
O.-W. r. & N. co. WILL SPEND
$4,000 ON MOSCOW-C0LFAX
BRANCH.
Work Will Begin April big Crews
of Extra Gangs and Track Laying
Crew Will Work.

| According to an announcement made
last night by William Connolly, SUI
perintendent of the Idaho division of the
O.-W. R. & N. company, who was in
the city visiting D. House, local agent
the company has appropriated $4,000
to be used in improving the Moscow
Colfax branch, a distance of 28 miles
and on April 1 will send several extra
gangs, a track laying crew and five
ballast trains to begin the work on
the Moscow end of the line.
I'VE find it necessary to strengthen
our roadbed and track facilities SO as
to be able to handle heavier traffic"
said Mr.. Connolly. 1T will probably
require about 80 days to complete the
work and it is the purpose to reballast
the line and to lay new rails"
1t was learned that the old rails will
be replaced with S0-pound steel. 1t
will also require some 300 men to han
die the work. The work is being done
to permit the use of heavier engines on
the track and to permit the company to
use heavier equipment. 1t is under
stood that so soon as the work is COM
pleted the company will put new
passenger coaches Oh the Moscow-Col-
lax run.
The company has also called for bids
or the construction of 1000 feet of ce
nent sidewalk around it's right-of-way
,an improvement that will
,e started soon after the first of the
month.

The Rondo in G Major is a good
example of Mozart's writing. Mr.
Kreisler gloried in the brilliant exc
cution necessary for it's rendition. For
en- encore he played Dyorak's Lamen-
to Indien.
The Caprice Viennois by Mr. Kreis-
Ter, though played here before, shows
the artist in a new light and it is
hoped that he will give the world
other examples of his art as it we'll
merits the attention of thoughtful mu-
sicians. The difficult double-stopping
was perfect in it's execution and the
audience demanded re-hearing which
was given.
The Paganini number brought out
still more clearly the virtuosity of the
man. Such matchless technique, su-
preme artistry and breadth of conecp
ton is rarely found more than once in
a generation Kreisler stands an ex-
cellent example of a manly musician
He would have succeeded just as we'll
in some other line of work than mu-
sic.
The next recital of the series is on
March 28th and is to be given by
Ysaye and Gerady and it is hoped that
4 representative number of Moscow
music lovers will be able to attend the

MINE INSPECTORS REPORT.
r. N. Bell Has Just Published Report
OF 1918 Production and Contains
Valuable Information.

State Inspector of Mines Robert N
Bell has submitted in published form
to Governor Haines the annual report
of his department for 1913 showing the
condition in which mining matters in
this state are to be found, the progress
that has been made. The report shows
that the aggregate number of men en-
ployed in the mines of the state duI.ng
the year was 1000. There were IS
fatal accidents, 25 of which were at
tributed to Shoshone county opera
tions and with three exceptions were
single accidents which in many cases
were due to the personal care, essness
of the men. In addition there were Is
serious accidents and rs cents of slight
injury This list of accidents was in
cident to the mining of fully 100000
tons of ore and almost equal amount
of waste used in filling. The per-
centage of accidents per 1000 men en-
ployed was 419. This is the highest
rate since 1908.
The report is complete and contains
some very valuable information and is
also we'll illustrated. The total gross
value OF the metal contents on the ore
and bullion shipped from Idaho dur
ing 1918 is given as approximately ,
$24,O0O,000 of which probably $4,000, 900
was paid in dividends by the larger
operators. This state during the year
again assumed first place among the
states of the Union in the matte, OF
lead production. Of the total output
from the state OF silver-lead ore pro-
duction, Shoshone county mines are
credited with fully go per cent md
over 80 per cent Of the zinc ore output

REDFIELD "LlES'
SAYS HUMPHREYS
VICIOUS ATTACK MADE IN HOUSE
TODAY AGAINST COMMERCE
COMMISSIONER.
Declares Reports of Conditions In
Shingle Trade in Washington State
We're Distorted.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 19.-Repre
sentative Humphrey of Washington, to
day accepted the challenge of demo
Gratis to prove his statement thai
Secretary of Commerce Redfield haC
''falsified" in letter to congress, his
investigators findings on conditions il
the Washington shingle industry.
He charged that the Investigator had
used the disreputable and contempt
| BILE bethod" of reporting behind an
| noymous witnesses and criticized the
secretary for accepting such evidence
Quoting freely from the investiga-
tors report and from parellel refer
ences in the letter Redfield sent to
congress, Humphreys declared he had
proved conclusively that the main
statements of Redfield were contra
dicted in the report.
AN eXparte statement based on
anonymous evidence" he said, 'is used
only by towards, character assassins
and expert political Investigators.
Redfield said that stagnation in the
shingle industry was not mainly at
tributable to tariff removal, as Hum
phrey charged on the floor some time
ago. Humphrey today averred that
Redfields own investigator had shown
conclusively:
That 80 per cent of the Washington
shingle mills were closed; that the
British Columbia mills opened when
the tariff wall was removed; that in
December that the state had more
idle men than ever before.
'It is hard to tell whether this in
vestigator was blindly partial, inten-
.ionally dishonest or just an ordinary |
Humphrey remarked, af
.er indicating Redfeld's discrepancies.
incidentally he walloped the demo-
cratic domestic and foreign policies,
saying:
Everywhere the country is suffer-
ng from the democratic administra-
ion. The souphouse has started.
such is the condition at home after
me year of democratic rule, under
he benign influence of the new free
ON
"Our foreign policy has become a
ational disgrace. We stand dis
rusted, discredited, our prestige de-
troyed abroad. A frantic effort is
ow being made to cover up the egot- s
;tical stupidity of this administra- !
on with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. T
o such low estate have we fallen that
the price of self respect we are try +
lg to purchase frindship. In this g
ay,. we look at conditions at home n
I'd abroad, it has become, indeed, a
,oud distinction to be an American n
tizen." h

Four Generations Presence.

There were representatives of four
generations present-Father Mathis
Mrs. Geo. Hart, Mrs. Clella Tomlinson
and Bernice Tomlinson.
Following the dinner another event
adding much interest to the occasion
occurred when the grandson of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathis, Ira Monday of Joel, and
Miss Ellen Morton of this city were
united in marriage. The home was
tastefully decorated in Grand Army
colors and cut flowers. The wedding
march from Lohengrin was impressive
ly played by Miss Jessie Gates and the
Briday couple accompanied by the
groom's grandparents as best man and
bridesmaid marched to the altar where,
under huge folds of the Stars and
Stripes the marriage ceremony was
solemnly pronounced by Rev. Robert
Warner of the Methodist church.
Mr. and Mrs. Mondy will make theil
home at Joel where the groom is in
the employ of the Northern Pacific
Railway company.
The following bit of verse written
by one of the guests well expresses
the feeling which prevailed among the
old Civil war veterans who were pres
ent.
Their uniforms have faded some,
Their color not SO bright,
AS when they stood guard once before |
Fifty years ago tonight.
Although their forms are bent with |
age,
Their hair Is turned to gray
And many, many have been called,
70 the land SO far away"

The affair was arranged as a COM

as guests the members of the Major
Anderson Post of the G. A. R. and the

Sox strike a losing streak.
Yesterdays double win makes 10
out of 18 for the Sox, and they moved
into second place, as both Washing
ton and Detroit lost.
Collins got five hits, BIackburne
three, including homer, and Bodie
and Schalk also smacked a trio of
important swats.
If Joe Tinker can keep his team
going at anything near it's present
gait, it is difficult to see how he can
fall out of first place. Indianapolis,
the only serious challenger at pres
ent, can whale the remaining teams
of the league, but fails miserably
when stacked against the Tots.
At present indianapolis is three
games behind. The Tots begin home
series with the Hoosiers today, and
should widen the gap before the clash
is concluded.
Though Tinker is not adding new
players, extra strength is developing
among the Tots. Fred Beck, weak
with the stick at the start of the sea-
son, is coming forward as one of the
most dependable rappers. Wickland
and ZwiIling are still batting over
300, and, though Arthur Wilson has
quit knocking homers, he makes
enough hits to keep in the charmed
circle.
Zeider is progressing, and Tinker,
who has been the real weak batter,
has picked up in the past week.
In front of this kind of hitting the
fingers do not have to be of remark
able quality.
St. Louis beat Mathewson. Doak

There's no real reason why a per-

a good remedy that perfectly and
safely takes the place of danger
Gus calomel, which is only an
other form of deadly and poison

Dodson's Liver Tone is pleas
ant-tasting vegetable liquid which
will start the liver just as surely
as calomel, and which has abso-

Children and grown people can
take Dodson's Liver Tone with
