MOSCOW STATION.
Important Work Assured in Spite Of
Veto by Governor.
(Mining Congress Journal)

(Mining Congress JournaD
Generous contributions by the oper-
ators of mines in Idaho have made
possible bureau of mines station at
Moscow. A number Of months ago
the bureau of mines entered into a
cooperative agreement with the Uni
versity of Idaho to establish a federal
station at Moscow for the purpose Of
investigating all mining problems Of
that region. Action on the part of
Gov. Moses Alexander in vetoing the
appropriation for the university's por-
ton of the expense Of the maintenance
Of the station apparently put an end
to the project. The need for such a
station, however. is so apparent that
the operators, by voluntary contribu-
TONS have raised the university's por-
ton of the expense and the work OF
the station already has been begun.
Van Fl. Manning, director Of the
United States bureau of mines, has as.
signed c. A. Wright, geologist in the
bureaus service now stationed at the
Salt Lake City station. to take charge
of the supervision Of the work at Mos.
COW. The work done by Mr. Wrigh
on Joplin and Wisconsin zinc ores hal
attributed largely to his well estab.
lished reputation.
One of the principal activities of tn,
Moscow station will be study of tn,
subject of ore dressing. In order tina
this work may be handled by an ex
pert in this particular branch of thu
industry. T. Marley has been giveI
general supervision Of that work. Mr.
varley has been in charge of all non
ferrous ore dressing work for the bur
eau. Before joining the bureau o
mines he. was In charge of the or,
dressing problems for the Fedora
Mining company.

RECENT MINING DECISIONS.
Severance Of Mineral Rights-Adverse
Possession.

One who purchases surface rights
to land and then forms the intention
Of holding the mineral interests there
in, does not establish adverse possess
sion unless his claim Is open and
notorious. The mere use and possess
sion OF the surface is not enough to
constitute adverse possession of the
mineral rights, even If he actually
mines coal for domestic purposes I'M
der his deed. Paying taxes on the
surface raises no adverse claim to til.
minerals beneath 1t in such a case.
Pond Creek Coal Co. v. Hatfield (Ken-
tucky), 239 Federal, s22. February 6.
1917.
Adverse CIaim-Abandonment.
In an action brought on an adverse
claim in patent proceedings, the de-
PENDANT abandoned his application for
patent to the area alleged to be In
conflict after the suit was commenced
and the plaintiff waived his right to
secure patent to that area also. Held.
that as the action then became merely
one for possession and there being
no proof of a conflict, it was an error
for the court to direct a verdict for
the plaintiff. Lucky Four Gold Min

MOST DANGEROUS DESERT.
Few Men Have Been Able to Stand
Its intense Heat.
Git Bits.)


1t is not generally known that the
hottest, post arid desert in the world
is in the United States. but such is the
fact. The Cocapah desert is small but
it is the most dangerous of any known.
Standing upon the mountain range to
the east, looking across the 60 miles of
plain to another mountain range on
the west. with glimpses of two small
lakes midway between. it does not APP
pear that it requires any extraordinary
feat of danger or endurance to cross.
Yet getting over this plain has caused
the loss of many lives.
The sand of the desert is so hot that
in few miles the shoes will be liter
ally burned off the travellers feet:
beasts will be overcome before half
the distance Is encompassed, and the
adventurous traveller dies in agony, lit
orally consumed with heat from with
out and thirst within. Many have been
known to attempt the journey, and but
few have been known to return. These
have gone no farther than the first
lake and, finding it salt water, have
beaten a retreat.
The nearest lake has been reached
often enough to know that it GIBBS and
flows with the Gulf of California, and
the water h the same; hence it must
be a part Of that body, although sep
arated from it by so or 70 miles of
solid earth and high range of noun
tains. This range was probably at one
the bottom of the sea.

ETHAN ALLEN ENLISTS.

Ethan Allen, direct descendant of
the original Ethan Allen of Fort IT.
conderoga fame, was accepted for en-
listment in the United States marine
corps at Butte last week. He has
heen principal Of high school in
Montana for the last three years, and
has also taught in Ohio and North
Dakota.
Aliens enlistment recalls the early
days Of American history when Fort
Ticonderoga was held in turn by the
French and British until finally cap
tured by his illustrious grandsire in
1775. 1t is another reminder of the
wiping out Of old differences between
nations, happily now serving together
against common enemy.

The club member who wins this
Liberty bond will be known as the
State Club Champion of Idaho in food
production and saving.
The idaho workers do not need this
special inducement to encourage them
to do good work. The club members
are valantly putting forth every eff
fort to grow the largest amount of
food possible, and the highest reward
that can come to them Is the con-
Seriousness of having done their patri-
otto duty in this time of their coun-
try's need. However, the boy or girl,
who through hard work and good
management Is able to show the best
tesults, is deserving of special recog-
milton and this recognition the mem
bers of the Extension club staff desire
to give.
The Club Pin.
Every club member In Idaho this
year who completes his work and sub
mits his report and story according to
| the requirements VI Tie u .. ucptiit
ment of agriculture, will be able to
show a badge for good work accom-
plished. The Idaho State Bankers as
ISOLATION are interested in Idaho boys
and girls, as well as in giving the
greatest encouragement to the states
Agricultural interests. The money
donated by the Idaho Bankers associ-
alton will make it possible this year to
give to each club member, so complet-
ing his work, national Club Achieve
ment pin. which the boys and girls
will be very proud to wear as an evil
dence of the practical, successful work
they have done.
The Liberty bond can be secured by
only one club member. but remember
that the club pin will be given to
every member who has stuck to his
job" This is the time to get in good,
hard ticks.

WOMAN TO MAN IN KHAKI.
(By Helen Rowland.)

What is it about that uniform Of
yours oh. min Khaki,
That makes every woman's throat
choke up and her eyes fill with JOY
and pride and almost possessive in
terest in you?
see you everywhere-on the streets,
in the trolleys, and subway,
And last night you sat beside me at
the theatre,
Clean-cut, calm-eyed, eager and
blithely laughing.
eyes, full of the high hope that can
only win,
l wonder, always, about YOU
Just who you are land why you are
wearing khaki,
|. What high motive, what irresistible
impulse, what flame of patriotism or
burning principle, what aspiration or
youthful enthusiasm
Of the colors?
Why are you wearing khaki?
Is it because you are very young
and fired with the desire for excite
ment and the longing for adventure
Because you are thrilled with the
thought of foreign travel and the vi
sions of strange scenes and new ex-
periences and lifes romance?
T., ~ q
sudden ambition to show the world
the stuff that you are made of,
And eager to snatch at this golden
chance to win your spurs-and per-
haps your epaulets?
Or is it the sportsman in you-the
love of a fight for the fights own
sake?
Are you, perhaps, just tired office
clerk, weary Of the dull round and
hopeless grind of petty duties, sick of
the dngy Office walls and eager to
welcome the opportunity to escape
from the soul-deadening monotony of
gray commonplace life?
Or are you, by chance. a victim OF
unhappy marriage, snatching at the
first means Of escape from persecu-
lions of love, the first chance to for
get your mistakes and your troubles
OR a lonely misogamist, snatching
at the first chance to forget yourself
and your dyspepsia?
Why are you wearing khaki?
In hy
duty--or because you are fired with
enthusiasm?
Is it for love or for an ideal or for
change or for principle?
Is it because you know. as I know,
that you have the fairest, cleanest,
finest, greatest, most wonderful cOun-
try - the woodland because all you
care or ask to know is that your
country needs you?
Or is it because you know that the
whole world needs you?
Because you see the Highland are
willing to fight for what you know is
right
For democracy against Imperialism
For humanity against oppression
For American ideals!
Whatever your reason-for any rea-
son Is good one
Here's to you, Man-in- Khaki!
Every womans heart is with you!
Every woman salutes you!
Every woman's hcnd will work fol
you!
For just that touch Of khaki
Has transformed you from a mere
man into a potential hero.
