SERIOUS ERROR
In CITY PLAT
DISCOVERY MADE RELATIVE TO
PLATING OF STREET MAY IN
TERFERE WITH PAVING PLAN
Affects North Main Street Paving Dis
trict-Cfty Attorney Now Investi-
eating Matter

Because City Engineer Harvey j.
Smith has discovered that there is an
error in the map of Moscow which is
and has been in general use for a
number of years, complications may
arise as a result, over the North Main
street paving district, which has been
granted by the city council, that may
make it necessary to file a new petit
tion. The North Main street improve
ment district, as originally petitioned
for, included the paving of Main
street from First street north to the
northeast corner of the ground of the
Idaho National Harvester company
and thence west on Harrison street
across the tracks of the Spokane e In
land railroad company.
The city engineer claims to have
discovered that Harrison street" does
not legally exist any place west OF
Main street and that the alleged
street running west from the north
east corner of the Idaho National Har-
vester companys grounds is only a
street or roadway by virtue of its con-
tinued use by the public for more than
five years.
City Attorney c. j. Orland has this
mistake in the description of streets
as it appears in the petition on file and
which corresponds to the published
maps of Moscow under consideration
and will present his decision to the
city council at it's next meeting.
The ordinance providing for the
paving of the Jackson street and AL
mond street districts are to be pre-
sented at the next council meeting.

News of the Board

An era of highway improvement in
Latah county is contemplated for the
approaching year and members of the
county board are investigating the
needs of the various communities with
a view of outlining work that can be
done at a minimum cost and yet pro-
duce system of good highways for
the county. In this connection it is
the plan to provide funds for portion
of the highway improvement while
farmers in the various road districts
are expected to contribute teams and
labor in aiding in the work
The board has recently placed an or
der with a Spokane firm for 40 car
loads Of pea sand gravel to be laid
down at Genesee and 20 carloads of the
same material to be laid down at Farm
ington, Wn. The gravel for Genesee
will provide material for a mile of
road in districts Nos. and and
will be in charge of Charles Grieser
districts. They are to arrange with
farmers in their territory to distribute
the gravel over the mile of road as
soon as the weather conditions will
permit The gravel for Pennington
will be distributed on the main high
way out of Pennington from the Ida
ho line northward for one-half mile
and the work will be under direction
of Overseer J. D. Chandler in district
No. 19, the distribution to be volun-
teered by farmers of the district.
The board plans to investigate roads
out of Troy, Kendrick and other
towns where it is possible similar ar
rangements will be completed.
Before completing the work of the
session the board awarded contract
to T. E. Martinson and A. Arntzen for
the painting of the interior of the en-
tire county building with the excep-
ton of the court room and sheriff's
office The contract price was $3.50.
An application of County Attorney
Frank L. Moore for an appropriation
of $1,000 to be used as contingent
fund in providing expense money for
matters arising in the prosecution of
cases and other matters in connection
with his office was rejected except
that the board appropriated the sum
of $500 for this purpose
The board formally collected from
T. E. Martinson, former assessor, the
sum of $34.05, an amount shown by |
the report of the expert who audited

SANITARY HEAD
WARNS FARMERS
C0MMISSIONER ]. X. WHITE RE-
QUIRES THAT DISEASED CAR
CASSES MUST BE BURNED
Either That Or Must be Inferred
Fear of Disease Spreading Calls
Stringent Rule

Notices have been received here
from the offices of Sanitary Commits
sioner White of Boise to the effect that
animals which die Of disease or are
killed on farms or elsewhere be-
cause of disease must be buried i'm
mediately Mr.. White says that since
the rabies scare, many animals, es-
fpecially dogs and coyotes, have been
killed and allowed to remain on the
ground, or possibly dragged some dis
tance from the house and allowed to
become prey for buzzards and crows.
Commissioner White intends to en-
force the law where negligence is
shown.
Menace to Health
"The carcasses of animals which
have succumbed to infectious diseases
like anthrax hog cholera, blackleg,
tuberculosis, rabies, ETC., are charged
> with myraids of virulent disease
germs, and just as long as they re-
main where Scavengers can reach
them and portions of them can be
carried away promiscuously, they are
a menace over a large territory to all
animals which are liable to be attack
ed by disease germs. Even carcasses
of animals which have died from 9TH
er causes than infectious diseases, un-
less they are disposed of in a proper
way, are source of danger. Left on
the surface of the ground their odor
soon invites scavengers to congregate
and to bring with them the infectious
material with which they may have
become contaminated by eating car
rion elsewhere.
Should Bury Them
Dead animals on the farm should
be buried deep enough to prevent
them from being dug up again, or
they should be burned. To burn large
carcasses like those of dead horses
and cattle is difficult and laborious
and requires large quantity of fuel.
In most instances it is more econom-
ical to bury them. All animals which
have died of infectious diseases and
are buried should be covered with a
heavy layer of lime before the graves
are closed.
Cold Preserves Germs
"In winter, when the ground is
frozen, it is more difficult to dig
graves than at other seasons of the
year, but it is just in cold wealth
er that disease germs remain alive
and virulent longest in dead organic
matter and that scavengers travel the
longest distances, have the best appe-
tites, and are most likely to carry
disease germs on and in their bodies.
The extra trouble of digging graves
in the winter is easily Offset by the
greater danger it counteracts. Low
temperature prevents the multiplied
ton of disease germs, but many kinds |

storm has been practically continuous
since the first of January and is the

GIFTS TO THE PEOPLE OF
 INDIA.

These are the days of reversals Instead of the Western world look ing to the East for fancy articles, many parts of the Orient are reaching out to the United States for goods.
 The United States Consul in Kara chi, India, says that fancy leather goods are much favored in his dis trict for the holidays and for birth day and wedding presents. Worked, carved and plain leather writing cases, jewel cases, collar and brush boxes and picture frames are used in this way. Since the war began Russia no longer sends carved leather to India. Since the hotels do not generally supply stationery. there is a demand among officials and business men for writing eases in which to carry it.
 There is also a steady, although not large, sale of inexpensive i'm ported jewelry in Northwest India, the articles most in demand being brooches, pendants, rings and brace lets (bangesl. The chief purchasers of this kind of jewelry are in Euro pean residents. Expensive articles are not in general demand. Dia- monds and other stones have no gyreat sale to the general pubic in this district India princes and yer yrich natives buy jewels in large quantities, but the business is done privately and there is no way of knowing how expensive it is. Rings are usually plain gold or have a device worked in gold. Those with stone settings have smaller sale.

RADIATIoNS FROM THE EARTH

While much attention has been paid in recent years to measure ments of the amount of solar radiation received by the earth, at different places and seasons, and under various conditions, there have been comparatively few measurements of another import ant factor in the thermal economy of the earth, viz, the amount of heat radiated outward by the earth's surface at night. Normal measurements of terrestrial radia- ton have generally been limited to the comparison of readings of unscreened minimum thermometers laid on the ground with those of similar thermometers exposed in a screen some feet above the ground. Such observations merely show whether nocturnal radiation has or has not been active, but give no real quantitative values.
 Since May 14, 1914, measure ments of the loss of heat from blackened surface freely exposed to the sky at night have been made by the weather bureau at Mt. Weather, Va. The maximum rate observed was 0.22 ca1orie per min- ute. or 13.2 calories per hour, and occurred on a clear night in early June. The rate has been found to be very uniform during a clear night. If the same rate is main tained during the day, the total radiation from the earth during 24 hours of clear weather in June may amount to BIT calories, or about 40 per cent. of the isolation. The average nocturnal radiation in June was, however, less than 50 per cent. of this maximum, and continued to fall off as the water yapor content of the atmosphere increased.
