MOSCOW HIGH LOST
GAME TO LEWISTON
DEFEATED BY SCORE OF II TO 6
IN GOOD FOOT BALL GAME
THERE YESTERDAY

The football team ST the Lewiston
high school defeated the Moscow high
school team yesterday afternoon on the
local field by score of II to g. This
was the first game OF the season for
both teams and while the playing was
loose during the first period the teams
frightened up as the game progressed
and provided a fine exhibition with good
team work during the last two periods
Moscow made her touchdown within
five minutes after the game was called
but failed to secure goal. 1t was a
give and take game for the remainder
of the first period and all of the second
quarter with the teams very evenly
matched on line bucking and punting.
In the beginning of the second half
Lewiston secured touchdown in five
minutes using the forward pass for big
gains. Lewiston failed to secure a goal
The second touchdown for Lewiston was
made in the third quarter when Lewis
ton recovered the ball on tumble and
carried the ball over the line by line
bucking. Again Lewiston failed to
secure goal.
The lineup of the Lewiston team yes
terday was: Forrest, l. e.. Ford, l. t.
Wallace, l. g.; Isles, c.. Knight, r. G..
Cash, r. t.; Libert, r. e.. Remer, r. h.
Hendrickson, f. b.. Simpson, (c) l. h.
Arnold Cochran, q. b. Earl Cochran
and Croy, substitutes.
Coach " L. Hall, of the Lewiston
team, was much pleased with the first
showing of his players. Mr.. Hall ex-
planned that the Lewiston team this year
is made up of players from several states
and while the playing was loose at the
beginning of the game, the Improvement
was SO marked as the game progressed
that he feels the prospects are very fa-
vorable for splendid showing in foot
ball this year by the Lewiston organiza-
ton.
At the present time the Lewiston team
has two games scheduled with Charleston,
two with Pullman, return game with
Moscow and prospects of two games
with Colfax The schedule as announced

To PUBLISH NAMES

PLAN TO PLACE BOND BUYERS
IN SAME WORK WITH THE
COUNTY'S SOLDIERS

A plan is on foot here to publish
a book containing the names and his
tory Of every soldier sent from Latah
county. The movement was started to-
day by A. H. Oversmith who started
subscription paper and secured a
number of subscriptions. 1t is
thought the work will cost about
$1,000 and Mr.. Oversmith asks that
100 men contribute $40 each to have
the work published Every contrib

book.
The book will also contain the names

CHAMBER PROTESTS
INLAND TIME CARD
ASKS SPOKANE & INLAND EN-
PIRE RAILWAY COMPANY TO
CHANGE TIME CARD

The following letter addressed to
Waldo G. Paine, traffic manager OF
the Spokane & Inland Empire electric
railroad is elf-explanatory. 1t was
sent today to Mr.. Payne. The letter
follows:
Oct. 8, 1918.
Mr.. Waldo G. Paine, Traffic Man
ager, S. & E. 1. Ry., Spokane, Wn.-
Dear Sir: The Moscow Chamber of
Commerce has passed a resolution in
structing the Secretary TO communi-
cate with your company regarding
the late change in train service on
your road between Moscow and Spo-
kane.
We can readily and thoroughly un-
derstand that the Present unusual con-
ditions prevailing everywhere, may
necessitate the abrogation of some
trains which duplicate the same serv-
ice at the same time on other lines
between the same points; or which
may be the cause of unnecessary
waste Of manpower, motive power or
equipment, or may be run at finan-
cial loss; and we wish to go on record
as agreeing with you, that three trains
per day each way between here and
Spokane, may not be advisable at the
present time.
We also wish to go on record,
however, and most strongly and en-
phatically, as believing that the pres
ent schedule is unwarranted, and
wasteful for all concerned, inasmuch
as the public's time is to be conserved
as well as the railway employees time,
which is not being done under the
present plan.
Your train each way now practical
ly duplicates that of the Northern Pa
cific; yours arriving at 11:35 a. m.
the N. P. one hour later or less; and
your train leaving here at 3:35 p. m.
and the N. P. at 3:15 p. m. both for
the same destination.
This you can readily see is not con-
servation for anyone.
Again, this schedule makes it i'm
possible for any of our citizens to
leave here in the morning and trans
act any business in Spokane and re-
turn the same day; the time spent
in Spokane from 700 p. m. to 500
a. m. can not be utilized for business
purposes, and so means loss of time
and money, both of which we are
asked by our government to conserve
during the war; whereas if we could
leave here at seven or eight a. m.
on your road, and could leave Spokane
at four, five or six p. M, business
man could have four to six hours dur
ing the active business period there,
in which space of time many men
transact full days business.
Therefore the Chamber of Com
merce and through it the citizens of
Moscow and vicinity, most respect
fully and urgently request that you
give this matter due, full and prompt
consideration; to the end that your
service though curtailed, may b. Of
more value to all, and more thorough
ly efficient than at present, and that
the one train per day each way shall
yield the most in service to the public
and in revenue to your company, and

poses for which railways are built,
