HOLLAND REFUSES
TO GIVE Up KAISER
CLAIMS EMPEROR OF GERMANY
ENTERED HOLLAND AS A
PRIVATE CITIZEN

THE HAGUE, Dec. 1.-THE former
German emperor is entitled to the right
of sanctuary in Holland and therefore
his return to Germany cannot be de-
manded, according to statement made
today by Jonkher Beerenbruck in the
lower chamber of parliament during
debate on the visit of the former emperor
to Holland.
The premier said the government
would have preferred that the former
emperor had not chosen Holland as =
refuge, but that he came as a private
Individual after renouncing his throneo
without direct or indirect notification ef
his intended arrival
After remuneration of his throne, Pre-
mier Beerenbruck continued, there could
be no question of internment, nor could
the former emperor's return to Germanv
be demanded i'll view of the immemorial
tradition of right of sanctuary. The
Netherlands government could adopt no
line of conduct but that of granting "the
right of sanctuary, and accepting it al
a fact accomplished"
The government, the premier con-
tinued, must repudiate every effort to
see in this step an unneutral attitude.
Nevertheless he said, the once-emperor'
stay in Holland was regarded only as
temporary. Up to the present no power
had protested against his visit, but any
eventual demand for extradition must
pass the test of law and of treaty. The
government the premier concluded,
would not allow the former emperor to
exercise any influence in another coun-

is in Holland, and therefore
the former emperor had been in that
nineteen days when he formally
laid down the scepter and relinquished
the throne.

The new elevator of the Moscow
Union Warehouse company has re-
ceived more than 100000 bushels OF
wheat this year and "still there's
more to follow" Wheat has been
coming in almost every day since har-
vest until the past two days, when
there were no receipts, due, it is
thought, to the bad condition of the
roads and the muddy fields. Much
grain is stored in bins and granaries
in the fields and as the ground is not
frozen in the stubble hard enough to
hold up wagon, this cannot be haul
ed if the fields are very muddy.
The history of the Moscow Union
Warehouse company is an interesting
one. In 1910 number of farmers,
members of the Farmers Union of
this county, conceived the idea of
handling their own grain and incor-
'porated a company with a capital
stock of $4,000. The farmers leased
one of Mark P. Miller's warehouses
and handled their own grain and that
of other farmers who wished to pat
ronize them, through that. The bust
ness grew and in 1912 they bought
what was known as the IN. P. ware
house" at the south end of Main
street.
The farmers warehouses we're pat
ronized by the farmers of this sec
tion and handled an average of about
100000 bushels a year for many
years. Last year the receivts were
much below this figure, due to the
short crop, and this year, although
the crop is light, being little more
than half of an average yield, the new
elevator has received more than $780,
900 bushels of wheat and will prob
ably reach close to 100000 before the
season ends.
Company Opens Store
In 1914 the company opened a gen
eral merchandise store on Main street
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1918-12-12

directly opposite it's warehouse and
put in good stock of general mer-
chandise 1t put the prices at low
level, sufficient to pay expenses and
small profit. It's business has
grown until the sales during the past
few years have averaged about
$75, 900 per year. The company car
ries a good line of general merchan-
disc, but probably sells more groceries
than any other line. It handles large
quantities of country produce, such
as butter, eggs, fruits, potatoes, etc.
While the stock is owned by members
of the Farmers Union any one can
trade at the store and get the same
prices as the stockholders or members
of the union. Many town people
trade at the store almost exclusively.
Saves Money on Sacks.
This year the company sold 10000
grain bags. at an average price of
26 cents, which is / 1-2 cents below
the prices paid to other dealers. This
means a saving of $4,000, alone, on
sacks this year. The sacks were new
and the same quality as the sacks
sold by others for 27 IL cents. In
other words, on the one item of sacks,
the company saved it's patrons almost
as much as it's capital stock, or 90
per cent of the capital stock of the
company. It sold sack twine at 10
cents a pound while other dealers
sold it for S125 per pound. making a
saving to it's patrons of 55 cents a
pound. It handled a large amount of
twine and the saving to its, patrons
on this item will run into hundreds
of dollars.
Builds Fine Elevator.
In line with the general spirit of
progressiveness in the northwest, the
farmers have been advocating the
handling of grain in bulk and thus
saving the cost of sacks. To encour-
age this method of handling grain
the company decided to build an ele-
