MARK P, MILLER DONATES
SWIMMING POOL TO MOSCOW

The question of having swimming
pool for Moscow children has been
settled. Mark P. Miller, one of the
most liberal and public spirited men
in Moscow, today donated to the city
of Moscow or the school district,
swimming pool, free of cost to the
city or district, which ever decided
to accept his offer.
The offer was made to the chamber
Of commerce at it's luncheon today
and was accepted on motion of Mr..
Oversmith. Mr.. Miller's offer as pre-
sented to the chamber, follows:
Mark P. Miller offers to build, at
his own expense in the city park,
swimming pool for children, proper
size to be determined by proper au-
thorities. Said pool to be accepted by
city or school district, with their
agreement to maintain same without
donations from people hereafter.
City or school district to have full
control in every way hereafter. Above
pool to be built of reinforced concrete
and strong enough if desired to carry
ice in winter. The use of said pool
to be absolutely free at all times
hereafter to all children under certain
ages, both for city of Moscow and
country. 1t being the intention to
make this pool in every way suitable
for children to learn to swim in. I
would want small marble slab with
this inscription: Gin Memory of Lu-
cile and Elizabeth"
There was fairly good attendance
at the luncheon today. In the abb
sence of Chairman Suppiger, William
E. Lee presided and C. ]. Hugo acted
as secretary. A. H. Oversmith made
five-minute tolk on the outlook for
after the war in which he refuted the
production that times will be harder
then and reviewed conditions after
the civil war as compared with times
before and during the war.
DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of the
University of Idaho, made a brief but
interesting talk on the new war work
for the university along the lines set
forth in his interview published else
where in this issue.
Professor Miller and Rev. H. 0.
Perry were appointed table committee
for the next month and Professor
Creekmur were appointed commit
tee to bid the soldiers who left today
farewell on behalf of the chamber.

BID FAREWELL TO n
SOLDIERS To-Day
MOSCOW PEOPLE WISH GOD
SPEED TO THE MEN WHO
LEAVE THE UNIVERSITY

The first contingent oHsoldiers sent
to the University of Idaho for train
ing for special war work, left at 3:15
this afternoon. They go forth to "dc
their bit" toward winning the war
They will not carry guns and prob
ably will never kill Hun, but their
work is just as important as is that
of any other soldier in the great war
They go to prepare the way for the
fighting men. The latter must have
equipment Of all kinds and these men
will furnish that. The soldiers who
fight must have information which is
carried by wireless, and among those
who left today are 40 wireless opera
tors, whose messages may saYe an
army, or carry the information that
will help it defeat an army Of the
enemy.
Every one of the men who left Mos
COW today in the olive drab uniform
which is, in itself badge of honor,
is real soldier. He has given. up
home, family, relatives and friends,
and practically every one Of them
has given up a position paying mary
times the pay he will get as a soldier
and not one of them was drafted.
Every one was volunteer.
There was crowd at the depot to
bid them goodbye. They left on the
Northern Pacific at 3:15 this after
noon, going to Spokane and from
there they go east. Their destina-
tions are given in an article from
"The ShrapneP' bright newspaper
which they published here Monday.
Pages two and seven Of The Star-M
ror are made up almost wholly of this
paper which was. edited and printed
by the soldiers. The canteen commit
tee of which Mrs. Hutton is the en-
ergetic head, was there with lunches
for each man and every one got a
flower and souvenir. A special car
was set out for the men by the rail-
road company and it was picked up
by the afternoon train from Lewist-
ton to Spokane.
The men leave two days before the
expiration of the two months for
which they were originally sent here,
going thus early to make room for
the 103 men who come here Thurs
day from almost every county in, the
state. These men will be here two
months and on October Is it is ex-
pected that 25O will come to take
course of special training for special
war work and that number will come
here every two months of the year
thereafter.

Red Cross Workers Needed.

Mrs. Truitt announces that the Mos
COW chapter of the Red Cross has plenty
of material on hand now and needs more
workers. Every woman who can do
work even for few hours day, for
the Red Cross is urged to offer her serv-
ices. This chapter. has been given a
large amount of work to do before Sep
tenber l and unless there are more
workers the quota will not be filled.
Owing to harvest being on little help
can be expected from the country where
the women are all engaged in work dur
ing the harvest or canning seasons, SO
it is up to the women of the towns to do
the work.

Wheat Prices Are Higher.

An error was made by The Star
Mirror in reporting the prices paid for
wheat by the Mark P Miller company
The reporter misunderstood Mr.. Miller
to say that the prices quoted in yester-
days paper were the prices he paid.
They are the prices agreed upon by the
mi1lers and grain dealers and allowed
by the government grain corporation.
The fact is that Mr.. Miller is paying
three cents above the prices quoted and
within two cents of the Portland prices,
less freight. See the prices quoted in
his advertisement in another column of
this paper.

Dr. Lindley to Push Work in Idaho.

Dr. Lindley to Push Work in Idaho.
DR.. Lindley is chairman for Idaho
for enlisting in the student training
corps and will take the work up at
once. He has been at Portland de-
livering lectures at Reed college,
where training is going on for the
work of rehabilitating wounded men
when they begin to come back. He
dealt particularly with the psyche
logical aspects. He said there is a
faculty of so at the college, and at
present there are 200 women taking
the work. They are to be known as
reconstruction aides, and their du-
ties are largely such as massage, and
the use of electric appliances to
awaken dead muscles and nerves, to
teach men to use functions they have
lost the use of through shock or
other causes. Part of the work will
deal with the reeducation of men that
they may be prepared to follow a
trade and become useful members Of
society.

V1MgN century ago Lord Sell
HS%1VGN kirk brought his first
agA@gy settlers to the banks of
the Red River, and by founding
his colony established the nucleus
of our western farming Provinces.
The chief place in all that country
was Fort Gary, standing on part
of the site of the present city of
Winnipeg.
A description of Fort Gary, as
it was thirty years later, has been
preserved by the writings of the
traveller, Hargrave, who entered
the country from the south. The
steamboat had come to the Red
River, and Hargrave travelled by
one down the Red River and land
ed at St. Boniface opposite Fort
Gary.
The public means of communi-
cation with the Fort Gary side of
the River was scow-ferry, worked
by rope stretched across the river.
The young men, who operated the
ferry, were often away enjoying
themselves on the river while pass
engers had to wait. Such was the
case when Hargrave arrived at St.
Boniface. and he and his party
crossed in "dug-out." 1T had
no Seats" writes the traveller, and
we were obliged to kneel down,
one behind the other, on some
damp straw, hastily scattered over
the wet interior, while a boy,
seated on the stern 'of the docile
boat, with single oar, worked
alternately on either side of the
dug-out, padded us quickly
across"
Climbing the steep bank they
saw Fort Gary before them-''a
collection of houses surrounded by
a wall, part of the oblong of which
is built of stone and part of large
logs. The stone portion is supplied
with four bastions used as maya
zines for the storage of various
articles"
It was Sunday and, the Royal
Canadian Rifles were setting out
for York Factory to take ship by
the Hudson Bay route for Great
Britain. The coming of this regi-
ment is one of the interesting epi.
sodes in the history of the Canadi-
an West.
About the year 1845 dispute
arose between Great Britain and
the United States respecting the
western portion of the boundary
between Canada and the republic
to the south. It was known as the
Oregon Boundary dispute. It
stirred up considerable feeling, but
in the end was amicably settled by
negotiation.
At this time a British regiment
was sent out to the West, coming
by ship to the shores of Hudson
Bay and thence up the rivers to
the prairie country-the route fol-
lowed by the Selkirk settlers thirty
years before.
In a little book bearing the sim
pie title, Red River" J" the traveller,
Joseph James Hargrave, f. r. G.
S., gives an account of the coming
of those soldiers, of which most of
our histories make only brief mem
tion.
For a space of time extending
over fifteen years." writes Har-
grave, "a regular military force
was quartered at Red River. In
1846 wing of the Sixth Regiment
of foot. a detachment of Artillery,
under command of Colonel Crofton,
were ordered to the settlement
where they arrived in the autumn
of the same year. The entire party
consisted of 18 officers and 329
men.
They reached their destination

son Bay. over the route between

This line, OF which Rheims may be
considered the keystone, was chosen
for the reason that information has
been received by the Germans that it
was less strongly held than sectors

British Take Prisoners.
British troops on the front south
west Of YpIes have carried out sue
cessful local attack. The Germans
were pushed back east of Dickebusch

during the repulse Of German efforts

lost 260 prisoners.
Aerial activity is very marked, es-
pecially on the part Of the Germans
who announce officially the bombing
of large cities and railway centers in
northern France. This is the first re-
port of this kind made by Berlin in
several weeks and may have been
madeto counteract the effect of allied
raids on Rhine cities. Abbeville and
the regions of ST. Pol, Doullens, Creepy

been attacked by enemy airmen. All
these cities are behind the allied lines
