RUSHING PLANS
ON BRICK PLANT
RAILWAY OFFICIALS VISIT MOS
cow RELATIVE TO TRACKAGE
FOR COMPANY
Superintendent Hall Now Assembling
Machinery for Plant-Expect to
Operate by Fall

J. L. DefOrce, superintendent of the
Idaho division of the Northern Pacific
and J. D. Koren, engineer, were in the
city yesterday comforting with officials
of the Moscow Fire Brick & Clay Prod
ucts company relative to the trackage
to be laid to their clay deposits neal
Joel station and to the plant which
will probably be located near the Nor
thern Pacific depot here. A half mile
Of track will be laid from Joel station
to the cOmpany's clay deposits and
about 1900 feet of spur will be built
to the plant.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the tract of land belonging
to the Northern Pacific railway on
which the company proposed to build,
but it is generally believed deal will
be closed within a week. Construction
will begin as soon as negotiations are
completed.
Two carloads of machinery arrived
this week and are being unloaded by
Thomas Hail. who will be superintend-
ent of the plant. Another car is on
the way and is expected to arrive with
in a week. The total cost of machinery
purchased to date for the plant is
$65O0. The capacity of the plant, ori-
ginally estimated at $4,000 brick per
day, will be nearer $4,000, Superintend-
ent Hall believes, the machinery or
dered having a greater capacity than
he expected.
1t is proposed to have the plant in
operation this fall, actual construction
waiting only on the securing of suit
able plat of ground. Besides the
Northern Pacific land, other plats are
Under consideration and an early start
in building the plant is anticipated.

RAILWAY MAGNATES
TURN DOWN WILSON
REFUSE TO RELINQUISH DEMAND
FOR ARBITRATION OF RAIL-
WAY STRIKE PROBLEM
President Delivers Strong Jab at
Railway Managers and Says His
Proposal Fair
By the United Press Associations.

BY the United Press Associations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The rail-
way presidents representing the roads
involved in the great strike contro-
versy started for the White House
this morning determined to refuse
President Wilson'S proposition to
yield to the eight-hour day. They
prepared statement refusing to
yield on the principle of arbitration.
1t was thought this morning that
President Wilson might present new
proposal.
The railway presidents told Pres
ident Wilson that they refused to re-
linquish their arbitration demand af-
ter their arrival at the White House.
The president replied that the attitude
was unfair and impracticable be-
cause the trainmen had repeatedly re-
fused arbitration.
81 recommended the concession of
an eight-hour day believing the con-
cession to be right" declared a state
ment issued by President Wilson at
should be adopted as a wage basis
even where the actual work cannot
be completed within eight hours. The
railroads now having the eight-hour
day don't seem at a serious disadyant-
age compared with the railroads hav-
ing 10 hours. Only experience can
make certain what arrangements
are fair to both sides. That expert
ence would be a definite guide to the
interstate commerce commission in de-
termining whether the railroads are
entitled to higher freight rates on ac-
count of the change.
Il therefore proposed a postpone
ment of the trainmens extra overtime
pay demand In the meantime l
should seek congressional authority
to appoint small body of impartial
men to investigate and report the
facts without recommendations Then
either party could terminate the
agreement, inviting inquiries on sug-
gested adjustments. 1t seems thor
oughly practical and entirely fair and
think the public has right to ex-
oect acceptance"
President Wilson summoned addi-
ional western railway presidents
his afternoon.

FAREWELL TO MISS CAFFRAY
Assistant Pastor of NJ. E. Church
Given Delightful Party at Church
Last Evening

The parting reception given Miss
Caffray last evening in the First
Methodist Episcopal church was very
largely attended, there being be-
tween three and four hundred people
present. The church was attractively
decorated in yellow flowers and fol-
iage. After singing "Blest Be The
Tie That Binds" the pastor, Rev.
Robert Warner, told how greatly the
church appreciated the work of Miss
Caffray, characterizing her work as
the fulfillment of an ideal of efficiency
he had cherished for number OF
years. "Her work during the revival
meetings a year and a half ago and
the six months she has served as as
sistant pastor has been blessed with
about 300 seekers at the altar, some
seeking pardon and others purity OF
heart She has touched every phase
of the work More than 100 boys and
girls have been under her instruction
in course of religious education. In
the absence of the pastor she took the
missionary offerings of the congrega-
ton which were the largest ever gath
cred in the history of this church
for that purpose. More than $1,000 is
the total"
DR.. w. H. Lillibridge presided dur
ing the program. Mrs. Wilford Her
rington played beautiful organ vol
untary, Miss Camille Mcdaniel pleas

tertaining readings. The church

Boyd, Mrs. Martin, and Mrs. Orland,
and the Epworth League quartet, w.
F. Leslie, VIM. Bell, Miss Cornelison,
and Miss Lillibridge, rendered inter-
esting selections. The Misses Louisa
Martin and Georgia Bell were heard
in a most effective duet. Robert |
Reeves recited poem written by
Mrs Lillibridge which was a splendid
tribute to the work of Miss Caffray
among the boys and girls.
The climax of interest was reached
when Mr.. Payne in we'll chosen re-
marks reviewed the work of the as
sistant pastor and closed by saying
that, "Since few bouquets had been
thrown during the evening he wished
to make use Of one" Mrs. H. D. Mar
