MINING STATION
PRINCIPAL TOPIC
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO FOR
WARD MOSCOW'S INTERESTS IN
GOVERNMENT STATION
President BrannOn Tells of MOscOw's
Neutrality-suspicious. Out Gain to
State Mining Industries

Following a talk on the subject by
President M. A. Brannon before the
Chamber of Commerce at the regular
luncheon held today, a committee was
appointed to have charge of the de-
tails of bringing to the notice of the
secretary of the interior the advant-
ages of locating one of the three gov
ernmental mining experiment stations
in Moscow. The committee is compos-
ed of w. E. Lee, John Nisbet, w. F.
Morgareidge, M. E. Lewis, and Senator
Jerome J. Day.
A meeting of the committee was held
this afternoon following the adjourn
ment of the Chamber of Commerce and
tentative plans formulated.
President Brannon in his talk out
lined the points in Moscow's argument
for wanting the experiment station
placed here.
"The advantage of having a combin-
ed institution is one of our best claims
to the experiment station" he said.
"Our research possibilities are made
broader because of the organization of
our mining schools as they are or
ganized here. We are near a great
mining country. Our state is mi
ming state.
'In 1914 the mines in the state of
Washington produced 100000 in ore.
Our mines in the same year produced
$19,O0O,00O. Last year our mines had
increased their production to $4,000
600.
1.-THE experiment station, if located
here, will have federal appropriation
of $4,000 to spend in developing the
resources of the mines in the North
west But the financial advantage is

rot to be compared with the advantage
the experiment station will be to the
mining industry in our state
Director Manning of the bureau of
mines, who in his preliminary report
and in his secondary report recon-
mended Seattle for the third station,
will come here next week at the in
stance of the department of the in
terror to look over Moscows advant-
ages for the location of the station
here.
Butte, Mont, which was contender
for the station have notified the
Chamber of Commerce that they have
withdrawn in Moscow's favor, and
since a station has been located in
Alaska it is not thought that Seattle
will have the chance she would other
wise have. Moscow seems to be the
logical place for the location of the
station, and the business men are out
for all the support they can get in hav-
ing it located here.
DR.. Smith of Cottonwood a visitor
in the city today, addressed the Cham
Der of Commerce complimenting the
business men on the general condi-
lions of this city. Moscow, he said, is
one of the cleanest little cities he has
ever been in. He commented on the
absence of flies, and stated that this
was evidently the result of having san
itations laws that were enforced.

The grass that is wasted along the
roads of the middle west is sufficient
to keep all the live stock used on the
farms of the south in the opinion of a
southern farmer who lately made an
extended trip through some of the
Mississippi valley states, says the
Breeders Gazette
1t is true that great deal of grass
does go to waste along public roads,
but not less serious than that loss is
the damage done by weeds that pros
per along the highways. Wide road
ways are largely responsible for this.
Vegetation along the roads is likely
to be neglected anywhere, but much
morely likely to be neglected in a
country where many of the roads run
for the ground is much harder to work
in the former case.
In the Palouse country, it would be
a good plan to make highway rights
of way only as wide as is necessary for
good roads, in order that there may
be the minimum of land lying outside
of cultivated fields. There will be less
work to do cutting noxious weeds in
the roadways, less ground let go to
fields, and more land working.

Null on Teaching Literature

Professor Benjamin Null Of the English de-
partment of the high school proposes to put life
and action into the study of literature. He be-
ieves that boys and girls should become so i'm
bued with the spirit of piece Of poetry that it
will stand before them piece of real life. He
argues that the action in the piece of poetry
about Paul Revere's ride should become part of
the consciousness of the child so that of it's own
accord the child will put itself in the place of
Revere and re-enact the stirring action of the
poem.
We believe Professor Null is on the right
track Most Of us look back upon the DAYS we
spent in the English classes as dull hours de-
voted to the study of something that was be-
yond our ken and appreciation. If the teachers
had told us in few words that the characters in
the poem we were studying were men and women
just like the ones seen today in Richmond, with
only this exception that they lived one hundred
or two years ago, we would have entered into the
spirit OF the piece of literature with vim and
energy
Professor Null's theory might well be applied
to history or the study of Latin. Speaking from
experience, we know that Horace meant more to
us after we had enjoyed reading biography of
the poet and had studied the time in which he
lived, than we did when we tried to translate his
poems in our college days.
1t may be difficult to translate the scenes and
customs of the past into the environment of the
present, but so much is sure, if the setting of a
piece of literature is grasped by the pupil he will
come to an understanding of the poem very east
ly. 1t also holds true that if pupil once under
stands the reasons that prompted or influenced
an author to write the literature he did, the stu
dent will easily interpret the particular piece of
literature he is studying

What the War is Costing Europe.

The European war now is costing it's parti-
cipants $150,000,000 every. day, according to
brochure issued by the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank of New York. Since 1914 the in
debtedness of the seven principal nations engag-
ed has been increased from $27,0O0,O0O, 900 to
$75,000,0O0O0O. If the war should end in 1917,
interest on the combined debt of the nations will
amount to $500, 100000 yearly.
The most costly war previous to this was the
Civil war, which cost the United States
100000.
Loans to the belligerent nations by the United
States have reached net total of 81 1926 400 OOO
according to computations made by the National
City Bank of New York. Of this sum, Great
Britain obtained $685. 40O, 900, France $685. 20O,-
900, Russia $117,2OO,O00 Canada S120,000,0oO,
Canadian privinces and cities $185,000,000, and
Germany $20,000,O00. The nations have paid
back $156, $1,000. Latin American countries,
China and European neutrals have obtained loans
amounting to 1881 ,857,63
The ordinary man can hardly grasp the extra
ordinary sums of money involved in these figures.
A daily war cost of $105,oo 900 involves sum
of money so large that many cannot understand
how large it really is.
Our loans to the belligerents also are in terms
Of such magnitude that many may be pardoned
for admitting that they did not know there was
so much money in the world
And when the war clouds SETTLE who will pay
the bills? How do the belligerents intend to re-
deem their debts? Will the taxpayers be able to
stand the strain?

Breaking Into the Majors.
Cheney and HOblitzel Among

BY FRANK G. MENKE.

Edward ("Jeff-) Pfeffer had a hard
time breaking into the majors It
wasn't because no one thought him a
good pitcher, but because the mag
mates who heard Of the doings of a
Pfeffer in the minors confused him
with the ancient Pfeffer. who passed
beyond the big league pale some years
ago.
Back in the latter part of 1913, Jim
Gaffney, then owner of the Braves,
got a letter from a friend in Grand
Rapids.
Grab this fellow Pfeffer, who is
pitching for the Grand Rapids club
advised friend. Hes a wonder; been
pitching real baseball and ought to
be a sensation in the big leagues"
Whereupon, Gaffney laughed.
why should 1 sign up Pfeffer?" he
said to one of his associates. Hes a
has-been."
Had His Dates Mixed.
You see, Jim had him mixed up
with the old hurler by the same name.
A while later it became noised
around in big league circles
that a chap named Pfeffer was doing
great things in the Central league.
But all of the magnates, except C.
Hersules Ebbets, figured it was Pfef-
fer, the veteran. So they passed up
the chance to snare one of the best
moundsmen that has busted into the
big tent in many years.
C. Hercules, however, had scout
somewhere in the Grand Rapids
neighborhood c. Hercules wasn't
sure whether the Pfeffer was the old
boy or a youngster. But he didn't
take any chances. He wired his scout
to take look at that bird" which
the scout did. Pfeffer was drafted by
Ebbets because it wasn't the old
Pfeffer, but a young one who was set
ting the league on fire.
Pfeffer won % out of 35 games for
the Dodgers in 1914 and 10 out of 33
last year. This season he was their
who put them in the fight early in
the year and who, barring one slip-up,
helped to keep them there.
Wheat Cost Only $1,000.
One of the biggest baseball bargains
on record was Zach Wheat. G. Her

were slipping a little something over
on him But Ebhets got surprise
and an agreeable one.
Wheat has been a major Lacquer

After the first inning when Leonaro
went thro everything except cyclone,
he was invincible. The Dodgers got
to him for their only scores in the first
session. Johnston opened the a1ter

scored on Myers single. Merkle then
walked and a wild pitch an error and
another run was across before Leon,

Mowrey.
Then He frightened Up.
The Dodgers then got to Leonard
for only three more hits during the
rest of the game.
Rube Marquard started for Brook

Gardner hung up his second nome run
Of the series off Rube's offerings.
Hobby had walked, and Lewis dou-
bled after him so that three runs
came scampering over and put the
Red Sox in the lead right on the heels
of the Dodgers.
Manager Wilbert Robinson engin-
eered two pitching changes in an ef-
fort to stop the Red Sox but without
avail.
Cheney relieved Marquard, but
vvhen the Sox began to threaten him
the former Cub twirler failed and
Nap Rucker was sent in as last nope.
Rucker delivered and held Boston

up what looked like certain single

MerkIe repeated his stunt of the

though Fred was wearing a sieve
Merkle was given an error Any
possible damage that the muff might
have done died away when Scott
was thrown out by Olson on the next
ball he hit.
The Red Sox connected with two ex-
ira base hits in addition to Gardeners
home run, Lewis and Hobby driving
out doubles. Cutshaw cracked out a
double off Leonard in the fourth for
the Dodgers second extra base clout.
Leonard pitched great ball in the
fourth inning. After Cutshaw had
doubled and Mowrey fans were root
ing madly and contributing all they
could toward forcing Leonard in a
quick trip into the air. Olson was an
easy out to Hobby. Meyers popped
to Scott and Vanguard famed. The
Dodger attack lacked the zip and de-

Leonard's pitching had them badly
puzzled and after their first furry in
the initial inning they did not look
dangerous.
