down in history with credit for having
been a sound business one.

IDAHO MOVING PICTURES
TO BE SHOWN IN MOSCOW
WILL BE EXHIBITED FOR THREE NIGHTS DUR
ING FARMERS WEEK AT UNIVERSITY
ALSO SHOWN AT LEWISTON
Probably the Best Collection of Idaho ''MOvies" Now
in Existence-Is Part of the Publicity Exhibit
for the Panama-Pacific Exposition

Moscow people may have an oppOr-
tunity to view the ''See Idaho First
moving pictures that are now in pos
session of the Idaho-Panama exposi-
ton commission. The plans for show
ing the pictures in north Idaho have
been under consideration for some
time. j. W. Jones, director of ex-
hibits, who during the present year
spent much time in securing moving
pictures representing every branch of
Idaho's industries, has been working
with 0. D Center, director of expert
ment stations, with a view of showing
the pictures in Moscow for three
nights during Farmers Week at the
university the latter part of January.
The plan includes showing the pic
lures for six nights, three in Moscow
at the university, and three at Lew
iston.
When Mr.. Jones visited Moscow last
summer he stated that he hoped to
exhibit the pictures here before they
were taken to San Francisco as part
of the publicity campaign arranged by
the Idaho commission. Mr.. Center was
in Moscow Saturday and one of his
objects was to endeayor to complete
the arrangements for showing the
pictures here during Farmers Week.
The moving pictures are among the
most valuable that have ever been
gathered in the state. They not only
portray the varied industries, but num-
erous pictures have been secured
showing the wild life in Idaho, being
descriptive of the value of Idaho as a
fish and game country. Some of Ida
hos rugged scenery has been pictured
by the moving machine and some in
teresting stories have been woven
around the views which will go far to-
ward making the pictures popular.
Recently the pictures were shown at
Boise and were viewed by thousands.
The Boise papers spoke in very COM
plimentary terms of the splendid col
lection. More details concerning the
pictures will become available within
a short time. 1t is expected that Mr.
Center will make some definite an
nouncement concerning their produc-
ton In Moscow at an early date.

fORAED COMMANDANT HERE
Cayta1h George Steunenberg, Who Ac-
hieved Fame Through Poem,
Visiting Friends

Captain George Steunenberg of the
25th United States infantry, now sta
toned at Honolulu, is on two months
vacation, and arrived in Moscow last
evening to visit friends for couple
of days. He has been at Boise for the
past week visiting relatives. Captain
Steunenberg was commandant of the
cadet battalion seven years ago and
while stationed here made many warm
friends. He is an Idaho boy and is
a brother of the late Governor Frank
,Steunenberg.
This is his first visit to Moscow in
two years and he expressed some sur
prise today over the many improve
ments he noted. Captain Steunenberg
achieved national fame a few years
ago when he wrote number of verses
on the Balkan war in which he pOked
fun at the German military instruc-
ton. This caused some diplomatic
correspondence with the war depart
ment and on promise never to do it
again, the matter was automatically
settled. Captain Steunenberg is writer
of fiction, poetry and descriptive stories
and has gained considerable promin-
ence in literary circles.
He will go to Spokane from here and
thence to California where he will re-
main until he returns to his regiment
at Honolulu. He will be stationed at
that point for two years more.
