Nights Contest Rough.

Taking the second game of the
championship basket ball series with
the University of dIaho the University
of Washington last night won the
northwest conference championship
title for the season which has just
passed. The score in last nights

scarcely in doubt at any stage al

improvement in team work over its
performance in the game Thursday
evening.
The game was rough and somewhat
marred by consistant fouling, few
less than thirty fouls being called and
four players going out on personals.
Washington's short passing and ma
chine-like teamwork throughout the
entire game was feature.

SEEKING TREASURE
PARTY LEAVES SAN FRANCISCO
TOMORROW FOR SOUTH SEA
ISLANDS.
Wealth of Gold Treasure Buried Years
Age at Obscure Point is Goal
for Venturesome.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 14.-J. Lynn
Hobson of Bristol, and Capt. John
Smith, an old-time seaman of Cedar
Grove, Me-, will leave here tomorrow
with ship and crew bound for the
South Sea Islands on treasure hunt.
1t is a romantic case Of wealth of
gold treasure which has long been
under the soil of distant island, un-
disturbed and with nobody to claim
1t. Capt. John Smith, the Maine sea-
man, is said to be the only persons
now living who knows where the gold
was hidden.
This gold, Capt Smith explained,
was obtained by plunder during the
Peruvian uprising about the middle OF
the past century. A cathedral which
had been ornamented with gold in
luxuriant abundance was stripped of
its precious metal, and this was added
to vast bulk Of plunder. In order to
avoid pirates who were then rowing
Lue OOutu Oed, Tie FeSsel discharged
its precious cargo on one of the South
Sea Islands. Here it was buried, af-
ter which the ship sailed for Australia.
He had told his story to many per-
sons, but was never able to arrange
Tor an expedition until the venture
some Hobson took hold of the mat
.er.
The ship is provided by salvage
company Of this city, and members of
he company will accompany them. If
he gold is found, the salvage compa-
ly is to receive so per cent of the |
reasure, and the remainder will be |
Iivided between Capt. Smith and Hob /
on.

STOCK INDUSTRY
IN ASCENDANCY
SOUTHERN IDAHO FARMERS NOW
DIRECTING ATTENTION TO
LIVE STOCK.
N. E. Lewis Returns Home and Tells
Of Future Development of Irrigated
Districts in Idaho.

The salvation of the developmen
of the great irrigated tracts of land il
southern Idaho lies in a more genera
turning to the live stock industry
which has already been to a large ex
tent realized by the farmers ant
| stock growers in that section, accord
| ing to M. E. Lewis who returned home
last night from a six weeks stay in
southern Idaho. Mr.. Lewis owns con
siderable farm land In the north SIDE
Twin Falls country in the vicinity Of
Wendall and has been looking after
his interests.
Farmers are turning their atteu.
tion to stockraising in southern Idaho
and it is making such vast differ
ence to the owners of land that this
industry will eventually be the prin-
cipal source of income. Since the
Portland and Puget Sound live st ok
interests have reached into southern
Idaho markets, there has been rap
i'd development of the industry and
the movement is bound to grow year.
ly," declared Mr.. Lewis today.
Several years ago around Lnlmet.
it is reported that buyers Of turkeys
were in there but the most money
that could be spent during the sea-
son was $25O0. AS an illustration of
the growth of diversified farming
the money gained in that
section last year from turkeys alone
was $25,0OO. Of course considerable
hogs and cattle were shipped also"
When interviewed relative to busi-
ness conditions in that section of the
country, Mr.. Lewis said that as lie
had little acquaintance with city mat
ters he did not feel qualified to dis
cuss the prospects for business in the
towns. In regard to land values. he
stated that the whole south of the
state is just now feeling the reaction
rom a period of over-booming during
he last few years. Very few pieces
# land are changing hands. This is |
lue to the fact that the first pur-
.hasers Of irrigated land in that Sec
ion were not bona fide settlers but |
we're outsiders who, without devlop- |
ng their land, held it in the hope Of
isposing of it at great advance in
rice. In this expectation many of
he speculators were disappointed,
nd they have now come to the real
zation that in order to get salts
actory return on their investments
hey will have to till the soil, enter
ctively into the business of improv-
lg their property, and raise crops to
e sold in the markets. The effect
{ this change in viewpoint has been
very good thing for the state at large
nd has had a salutary effect on the
ability Of the financial interests of
lose communities. 1t will not be
cry long now, 80 Mr.. Lewis stated,
efore the south Idaho lands will ar t

,velopment, which the early specul- q
ors hoped to get with the land lying 7

State Commissioner Of Education E..
O. SissOn Delivered Address Last
Night.

One of the most successful sessions
of the county school trustees ever
held in Moscow closed at noon today
with nearly every school district in
the county represented by at least one
member of it's board. Yesterdays ses-
sion closed with an address at the
high school auditorium last night by
State Commissioner of Education Ed
ward o. Sisson. Mr.. Sisson's address
was one of the features of the two
days meeting. He dealt at length with
the various rural school problems
that are confronting the boards of
trustees throughout the state and the
state board of education, offering many
suggestions as to the best means of
their solution.

Fav0rs Group District.

Mr.. Sisson believes that eventually
the problem of affording to the chill
dren in districts which are unable
to provide good school facilities equal
educational advantages with those in
more wealthy districts will be solved
through the group-district system
which is being tried with much sue
cess in some of the neighboring states.
The problem of providing educational
facilities is not, he said, a problem
which belongs to each district alone,
but to all together. The boys and girls
who are educated in poor districts are
to become citizens of the county and
the state just as soon as are those in
the wealthy districts and it is to the
interest of the whole county and the
whole state to see that all are proper
ly educated. If better schools can be
provided by uniting several districts
into one, such a union should be
brought about. 1t is with this prob
lem, among others, said Mr.. Sisson,
that the state board is now laboring.
