Washington, D. C,
Dear Mr.. Brisbane:
Why do you call upon US TO eat 20
tatoes, when they cost 30 cents pei
peck on the market. and we have tc
pay 10 cents for one boiled potato in
the restaurants here? We have to eat
in restaurants because we can't find
boarding houses. We want to b.
patriotic and eat potatoes, but the un
patriotic restaurant profiteers by
boosting their prices compel us to give
aid and comfort to the enemy much
against our will. We can't afford to
eat potatoes in Washington
Yours, truly.

Canp Mauana.


In regard to what Mr.. McRuh
lately said to you about those Camp
Manana occupants up the river, ]
can assure you they were not evil
characters at all, but merely kindly,
WORKOUT gentlemen in search Of rest
and repose. There was one distin-
guished-looking gentleman, remem-
Der, who called himself Fassett-of
course only a nom de plume or
alias-who used to sing a song late
at night composed Of the following
feeling words:
I used to lore a farmer girl
And Bessie tOGs her name,
But though my Bessie fen the COOP,
I lore her just the same.
The rest was sung in such q low,
sad tone l could not catch it. Many
neighboring campers will doubtless
recall the air and words.

That Patent Ohiee Fire.
By GEORGE KIILIAN,

Some Of your correspondents are
iufty in regard to dates. The IRE at
the Patent once occurred in the
early 'S0's-the very day those old
sectional antagonists in baseball, the
Creightons and the Nationals, were to
play q championship game. In his
haste TO get OF from work, one Of the
former team. Branderhorn, caused
the fire by stufhng the engines with
too much old material that was or
dered burned. The north side Of F
street wasn't a vacant lot by any
means, as at the corner Of Ninth and
F streets was Connolly's Silk House,
and adjoining that was Gonzaga Col
lege, now on ! street adjoining st.
Aloyslus' Church. and beyond that
was the property Of St Patrick's
Church

what I have in mind just now
Is that there are either no sani-

will ind the walters or Mattresses

cause all decent people.
These conditions obtain even In
the drug stores and other places
where soft drinks are dispensed.

Inspector Visits University.

Frank T. Shepherd, of Portland,
Oregon, inspector for the western
division of vocational training work
for universities and colleges, was in
Moscow yesterday and inspected the
work that is being done here. Mr..
Shepherd has charge Of this work for
the department of education of the
army. He says that the converting of
the Stewart building on North Main
street into barracks for the soldiers
set new record in rapid work. Mr..
Shepherd had a picture sent out by
the war department showing work
of this kind which was claimed to be
the worlds record for quick work.
Accompanying the picture was the
record, showing how many hours
work is required to complete this
barracks. Mr.. Shepherd said: "You
people of the university beat that
record by just 900 hours"

BELIEVE LATAH
COUNTY HAS QUOTA
TROY FELL DOWN HARD BUT
OTHER DISTRICTS OVERSIZE
SCRIBED THEIR SHARE

1t is believed that Latah county s
quota of $4,000 for the united war
fund has been raised. All of the
figures are not in yet, but enough
precincts have reported to make it
quite certain that the full share for
this county has been subscribed. 1t
is said that. Troy only gave about
$500 Of her quota of $4,000 but sew
eral other points in the county gave
more than their quota.
Moscow was lover the top" last
night, but just how much is not
known. Moscow had quota of about
$4,000, or nearly as much as all of
the remainder of the county. 1t is
believed that the total fixed for the
nation, 100000, has been over
subscribed 1t was hoped the sub
scriptions would reach S250,000,000
and this vast sum may be reached.
Genesee. Moscow and Potlatch are
known to have oversubscribed their
quotas Troy is badly handicapped
by an epidemic Of the "flu' and a
meeting of the business men is to be
held to take action to raise the
amount assessed against the town.
Every precinct that has not raised its
full quota is urged to continue work
until the amount is raised.

miles, through sunshine and storm.
This story of Captain Bartlett
difficult flight is given by the United
States committee on public informa-
ton:
He covered the 341 miles between
Bellville and Clark field, Memphis,
Tennessee, in 3 hours and minutes at
an average speed Of ITO miles an hour
favored by stiff wind from the Great
Lakes and at an altitude of between
1000 and 1000 feet. On the second
leg of the trip between Memphis, Ten
nessee, and Payne Field, West Point,
Mississippi, wishing to stop for lunch,
he descended and was close to the
ground over an abandoned race track
when he suddenly found the air so
thin he knew he could not get off
this ground once he landed He had
difficulty in getting back to the up
per currents again but by following
a flock of birds which flew in an as
cending circle, he secured enough alti-
tude to continue Approaching West
Point fine air was again encountered
but over this town he ran into an
electrical storm and was forced to
descend.
With clear weather the next day he
made 23O miles between West Point
and Lonoke, Arkansas, without a stop
though his gasoline gave out just as
he arrived over Eberts Field, near
this point, and Little Rock, Arkansas.
Here bad weather held him up four
days.
-Four hundred and fifty miles Of the
next leg between Eberts Field and
Post Field, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, which
had not been covered before in an
airplane up to tn. s time, proved the
hardes1 task in lis whole trip. He
made he distance il nine horrs of
