NOXIOUS WEEDS
UNDER THE BAN
LOCAL FARMERS UNION TAKES
THE INITIATIVE IN STAMPING
OUT THE PEST.
Committee Calls on County Board and
Urges Cooperation In Getting Rid
OF Jim Hill Mustard and Thistle.

The Moscow local farmers union has
stamp out Jim Hill mustard, Russian
thistle and other noxious weeds AT
recent meeting of the uni III in
Moscow the noxious weed question
was one of the chief subjects ard in
stead of just calling notice to farmers
to help exterminate the weeds, the
union named a committee composed
of James j. Keane and John Peasley
to take the matter up with the county
board. They appeared before the
board today.
The board was petitioned to notify
every road overseer in district along
lines of railways, where noxious weeds
are prevalent with instructions to de-
stroy such weeds along the highways.
Mr.. Keane explained that neither the
Hill mustard nor the Russian thistle
had gained a foothold in Latah coun-
ty, the pest only appearing in certain
points. He explained that it was the
purpose of the union to exterminate
the weed at it's inception and with
this in view all citizens are urged to
pull the weeds wherever seen.
1t was learned that farmers will de-
vote much time to pulling the weed
found in their fields
Travellers along the roads of Latah
county will be appealed to with a
view of securing their aid. They are
urged to jump from their vehicle
when they notice noxious weed and
will be asked to destroy it.
Through this plan," said Mr.. Keane,
we will hope to keep the noxious
weeks entirely out of the county"

to the Public Today Relative to
the Subject.

What appeared to have at first beer
only an effort to accomplish the de-
Struction of dogs in Moscow and
which has up to this time remained q
mystery has now assumed more SER
, ious proportions and the authorities
are becoming alarmed at the apparent
audacity of the guilty party or par
ties in scattering poisoned meats and
other material about the city, evident
ly with the intention of doing harm
to other than to dogs.
In addition to poisoned meats being
scattered broadcast which has resulted
in the poisoning of more than scor.
of animals, it was learned today that
four moro dogs were found dead the
present week and that officers have
found besides poisoned meat also
poisoned biscuits and other food ma
terial. The fear is expressed that with
so much of the poisoned food being
scattered in empty lots and among

ney John E. Nisbet has issued the fol-
lowing notice to the public:
/ hereby appeal to the citizens
of Moscow and vicinity to cooper
ate with the officers in running
down the felon who is scattering
poisoned food about the city.
A person who will endanger life
in this way is of a lower type of
humanity than the ordinary mur-
derer and must be landed.
Parents should be exceedingly
careful and not permit children
to get hold of any of the poison
ed substance.
The names of all persons, rend-
ering assistance in this matter,
will be kept secret if they so de-

Preparations Continue Today.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 17.-Peace Of

Mexico hinged on President Huerta'
whim. He is vacillating, Wavering, ant

ing cabinet meeting today Secretary
Bryan was cheerful but other cabinet
members are pessimistic.
New Complications Arise.
That serious new complications have
arisen in connection with the Tampico
incident became evident this morning.
They are due to Huerta's haggling over
the form of the United States ac-
acknowledgement to Mexicos salute to
the American flag. Two stories are
current. One is that Huerta insisted
that the American salute be fired first
or alternately with American guns.
Another was that he demanded that the
federal commander at Tampico be re-
ceived with a marine guard and other
courtesies due his rank aboard the
American warships designated to reply
to the salute.
O'Shaughnessy Instructed.
1t was stated this afternoon that
Secretary Bryan has telegraphed
Charge N. O'Shaughnessy that the Uni
ted States will insist on the firing of
the salute in conformity with strict
naval custom with the American ac-
acknowledgement following the last
Mexican gun.

Saloschein has given no coherent
reason for the attack but intimated
it was caused because he objected to
Mitchell's treatment of the unemploy-
ed and that he was disappointed a.
not securing a municipal appointment

This picture is well up to the fore front in Kleine features and will com pete for favor with any of the pie lures imported from Europe by this progressive house It is in three and a half reels and tells a wonderfully gripping story, of the work of a young engineer in breaking up a robber band The scenes are laid in the South Afri- can diamond mines. and some of them are remarkable for their realism There is a romance in the story of course, and the plucky young fellow wins his beautiful love and they are married and live happy ever after.

A western Kalem picture of more than ordinary merit is being shown at the Avenue Theater under the title of "A Mans Soul" It teaches an admir- able lesson. The husband of a beau- tiful young bride becomes a slave to drink and goes to the west to recoup his manhood and his fortune His wife peculiarly enough unknown to either of them goes to teach school in the community. They meet but she refuses to return to him unless he prove himself a man again With a forest fire breaking out in that section he rises to the occasion, saves her, and is in turn saved by her. Of course they make up. Who wouldn't?
