HONOR ROLL FOR june.
List Of New Subscribers and Of Those
Who Paid Subscription During
the Month Of June.


of names on the honor roll is not
as long this month as last. But
there is a reason. Some months
more subscriptions become due;
hence there are more to pay up
and renew. The publisher of the
NEWS has now been in the news
paper publishing business more
than twenty years, and at no
time in those years has he had a
more loyal clientele. or a more
appreciative set of readers. The
many expressions of satisfaction
on the part of patrons makes the
editor forget the daily and week
ly grind of labor in getting out
a newspaper. The fact that the
NEWS has turned down many
dollars worth of Objectionable
advertising to its own personal
loss, makes its advertising col
umns more eagerly sought by
reputable advertisers who are
willing to pay a better price for
the service.
Now, in view of the fact that
the Editor of the News is per-
sonally acquainted with most of
the more than 2,200 of his sub
scribers, it has been his custom,
as it is with most country pub
fishers, to continue sending the
paper until the subscriber orders
it discontinued. He does this
because many of his subscribers
who are busy people, do not think
of the expiration just at the time
and would not want to miss a
number. In fact, they would be
offended if their names should be
removed from the list just as
soon as their time had expired,
and would tell US if we were
afraid to trust them for a few
cents until they came to town,
we could take the paper and,
yes, we could
Then, there are people who tell
US that when their subscription
expires, they want US to discon-
tinue sending it. When such or
der is given, we never send it
beyond the time paid for. So,
dear friends, if you are getting
the NEWS beyond the time for
which it is paid, it is because you
have not ordered it discontinued;
and the fact that you are still re-
ceiving and reading it leads US to
believe that you wish us to con-
tinue sending it, and that you
intend to pay for it.
If there is one subscriber on
our list who thinks that we are
trying to force the paper upon
him, and who does not expect to
pay for it, we will thank that
person to write us a postal and
say so frankly, and we will take
his name off the list, and we will
call the bill settled.
Isn't that fair?
We do not want your money,
unless you think you are getting
value received; and you should
not be receiving the paper which
is costing US good hard money,
unless you intend to pay for it.
Is there anything wrong about
that?
1t is a good thing to have these
little heart -to-heart talks once in
awhile.

SOAKING RAIN

FARMERS REJOICE OVER DOWN.
POUR OF THE PAST 40 HOURS
IN THIS SECTION
Indications Point to Cessation of Wet
Weather S0On-Budding Fruit
Not Seriously Hurt

The rain and snow which has been
falling in the vicinity of Moscow dur
ing the past 40 hours is regarded as
bon to the farmer and stockman
and despite the fact that cold wind
accompanied the snow, there is gen
eral rejoicing among the farmers OF
the community.
The indications point to a cessation
of the wet weather within the next "a
hours and those arriving in the city
from outside points declare that in
addition to the thorough soaking the
ground received, all of which vii
greatly benefit crops in the territory,
the downpour has not been sufficient
to make the roads disagreeable.
In the orchards of this locality tb !,
view is expressed that the damage
has been slight to budding fruit,
though cherries had already suffered
by the heretofore freeze.

IDAHO SUING MRS. HARTMAN
Transfer Tax on Railway Stocks Go
to U. S. Court

/ BOISE, Apr. 30-Judge Dunlap in
the probate court last evening over
ruled the demurrer of Mrs. e. H. Har-
riman in the suit filed by the state
against Mrs. Hartman and the Ore
gon Short Line to collect the transfer
tax on the estate of the late E. H. Har-
riman.
The suit is said to be one of the
few of that character ever filed in
the United States and is. without par
allel in the records of Idaho. 1t will
probably be carried to the supreme
court of the United States.
E. H. Hartman was the principal
owner of the Union Pacific railway
system which owns the Oregon Short
Line and therefore has millions OF
dollars worth of property in Idaho.
The defense contends that the state
cannot collect the transfer tax be
cause the railroad is a foreign cor
poration

Lewiston People Have Provided
Plenty Of Entertainment for the
Visitors

Lewiston on May will be the mecca
for thousands of visitors, judging BY
the interest aroused throughout the
Inland Empire in the celebration to
be held at Lewiston on May to COM
memorate the completion of the
Dalles-Celilo canal, construction of
which cost the Federal Government
$5,000,000. Supplementing the service

lines to accommodate the throngs from
interior country points. In addition a
holiday in effect has practically been
declared in Whitman county, Washing
ton, when business houses in MANY
towns and cities will close in honor
of the celebration. An estimate was
made that no less than six hundred
will make the journey to
Lewiston.
The Lewiston celebration is handled
by a committee of one hundred cit
liens there and the big program OF
entertainment arranged provides for
a historical parade followed by exer-
cises when addresses will be made by
governors of Oregon, Washington,
and Idaho and other distinguished
visitors including members of the con-
gressional delegation sent officially to
participate in the program by con-
gress. The water fete program fol-

niles to the sea, and will carry full
passenger lists. Estimate is
made that the crowd at Lewiston will

FOR SUCCESS OF SHOW
At Meeting of the Club Yesterday Cen

Under Consideration

The advisory board of the Women's
Auxiliary met with Mrs. Meeker last
evening, Mrs. Holman presiding. Many
subjects we're informally discussed
The president, as chairman of the
park board, reported that the beds
were ready for filling with summer
flowers, and that work on the exten-
sion of the road from the south en-
trance to the band stand would soon
begin. She complained that children
We're picking flowers from the park
beds and it was resolved to issue
I. proper warnings, and then turn those
who persisted in offending, over to
the authorities.
The condition of the walk and cul-
vert at the southwest corner of the
park was also discussed, and the mat
ter will be brought before the streets
and alley committee.
Mrs Truitt asked if publicity had
been given to the fact that the Aux
iliary would hold it's annual sweet pea
show this summer, and it was resolv-
ed that every means should be used
to make the fact known.
Mrs Burke as the only member of
the creek improvement committee, re-
ported that Paradise creek between
Sixth and College avenue bridges was
in condition of extreme untidiness.
The creek has been used to dump
old irons, cans, stray papers and 9th
er refuse. r. w. Morris, of the Nor
thern Pacific, declared his willing
ness to clean the upper half, while the
lower portion is in the hands of the
city. The committee was continued
with orders to report at the regular
meeting Monday, May 3.
Mrs. Truitt was appointed commit
tee of one to consult with the new
mayor as to the appointment of
city health officer.

YAKIMA CITY IS no MORE

NORTH YAKIMA, Wn., Apr. 80
With the closing of the postoffice al
Yakima City, four miles south of here
today, a town dear to the hearts oi
the early pioneers practically lost its
separate identity.
Yakima City was established more
than a half century ago. Previous at
tempts to close the office were
thwarted by the old settlers. How
ever, the postal receipts dwindled SO
greatly that the government, throwing
sentiment to the winds, ordered the
office closed.
The dtacadence of Yakima City began
with the building of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and the establishment Of
North Yakima.

Not Apply to the Position Held
by the Moscow Girl

BOISE, Apr. 80. - (Special) THE
anti-nepotism law passed by the 18th
session of the legislature was held to
be constitutional in a decision handed
down by the supreme court in
the case of Louise Nj. Barton against

law by retaining Miss Barton as mat

of it's details and laid down rules for
its application.
The suit brought by Miss Barton
was to prevent the board from remoT-
ing her as matron of the home on ac-
count of the laws operation. She had
been notified by the board that when
the new law went into effect on May 8
her services would be dispensed with
because her father, Colonel c. H
Barton. was commandant, and the
board understood that the operation
of the anti-nepotism bill would prevent
her being employed since her father
had been given a position.
The supreme court held that the
phrase Associated in office" as used
in the act, permitted Miss Barton to
hold her position, but the court could
not see any merit in Miss Barton s
that the law was unconsti-
