.LATAH COUNTY HAS
FLOUR AND WHEAT
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR MARTIN
MAKES REPORT ON AMOUNT
HE HAS FOUND HERE

That there are $4,000 bushels Of
wheat, 100000 pounds of flour and
$4,000 pounds of sugar in Latah coun-
ty is shown by the report of H. D.
Martin, county food administrator
made to State Food Administrator
Bicknell, yesterday, which was the
last day in which these commodities
could be reported under the recent
ruling, in order to avoid prosecution
under the food rulings.
The wheat was found to be mostly
in warehouses, although a consider
able amount, totaling several car
loads, was found to be in the hands
of farmers, but most of this has been
delivered in town. Some farmers are
not done seeding and have asked for
and were granted few days in which
to deliver the wheat they reported 20
be on hand. This was granted as
the food administration has no desire
to interfere with spring seeding.
The flour was found to be well scat
tered throughout the county, there
being in round numbers, half a mil
lion pounds. The greater part Of
this was found in stores and mills.
The amount includes the stocks of
stores in Latah county. Some farm
ers had large supplies, running as
high as 20 sacks (1000 pounds) in
several cases, which they turned into
the dealers from whom it was bought,
when instructed to do so by Mr..
Martin. Only a few families had any
considerable amounts of sugar on
hand. The total amount in the coun-
ty is found to be $4,000 pounds,
which includes all surplus sugar
above a 80 day supply for families in
the country and smaller amounts in
town, and the stocks in the stores.
Mr.. Martin sent out letters three
weeks ago to every one he could reach
and requested answers from each of
them. AS a rule the answers came
through quickly and the writer's gave
a detailed report of the amounts of
grain, flour and sugar on hand. Mr..
Martin feels well pleased with the
with which the answers
came in and the spirit of cooperation
naifested by nearly all to whom the
notices were sent.

bile in the forenoon, probably reaching
Moscow between II and IL o'clock.
They will probably go to the hotels
for lunch. No arrangements have been
made to meet them on their arrival
for they will come in at different
times. 1t is expected there will be
from % to SO visitors. President Lind
ley telephone from Coeur d'Alene to-
day that there would probably be %,
but J. K. Mccormack sent word to Mr..
Heckathorn that there will be about
so visitors from Spokane.
1t has been suggested that Messrs.
Parsons, Creighton, David and others
of wide acquaintance, meet the visitors
and accompany them about town and
introduce them to the merchants and
others and that they spend the time
from their arrival in town until 2 or
2:3O in town and then be accompanied
to the university.
President Lindley will return from
Coeur d'Alene on the noon train and
will be at the university to welcome
the visitors there. He will assist in
entertaining them in the afternoon.
The visitors will remain in Moscow to-
morrow night and drive to Pullman
Saturday morning.

SAYSILATAH WHEAT
BEST HE HAS seen
J. w. RAYMOND, PIONEER GRAIN
BUYER, SAYS OUR FALL
WHEAT is THE BEST

"I have been all through the wheat
belt of the Inland Empire, from Spo-
kane through the Big Bend to the
Waterville district and south to Walla
Walla and the best fall wheat have
seen anywhere this year is in Latah
county and in the vicinity of Moscow,
in Whitman county," said j. w. Ray
mond, Of Spokane, who is pioneer
grain man, having been in the Inland
Empire for more than 80 years.
Mr.. Raymond spent last night in
Moscow, having driven here in his
automobile in which he is touring the
country and looking into the crop
situation. "The acreage of spring
wheat is very large this year," said
he, "and the prospects for big crop
are good. Spring wheat is later in
Latah county than any other district
I have visited. l find few farmers
have not finished seeding. In the Big
Bend country the crop looks well and
there are many fine fields in the
-Waterville neighborhood. The crop
condition is so far ahead of one year
ago that there is no comparison. The
acreage of fall wheat is far below the
average, due to the dry weather last
fall and in many places the fall wheat
does not look well, being thin and
showing the effects of the ground
packing and baking on top, but in
Latah county it is fine.
'I think farmers are making mis-
take in not sowing more oats and
barley. There will be no limit on the
price Of these grains and expect
to see barley bring good prices and
oats sell for three cents pound or
$50 per ton. Every one is planting
wheat and look for a great shortage |
of oats next fall. There will be a big |
demand for oats. The government |
will require large amounts and there
will not be enough to supply the de-
mand The farmer who raises oats
This year will make more money than
the farmer who raises wheat, is my
opinion"

WESTON CORNWALL DAMAGE
SUIT NEARING IT'S END

The day in the federal court was oc-
cupied with the trial of the $15,094
suit for damages of Weston VS.. Corn
wall. The plaintiff introduced his
testimony before noon and when The
Star-Mirror went to press the defend
ants side of the case was presented.
1t was thought the case would go to
the jury this evening. The next case
on the docket is the criminal charge
against Edward F. Snyder, indicted for
selling bottle of bay rum to Indians
at Lewiston. This case will probably
be reached tomorrow morning.

the first of June. This is not posi-
tive agreement, and I shall have no
right to- complain if the price is in
creased before that time. I am fight
ing hard, however, to have this same
price as at the present, continued
until the first of July, but can give the
people no assurance that it will be
done. I am not urging the people to
store coal because of the saving of
seventy cents a ton, but I am urging
them with all my force and energy to
store coal as a patriotic duty, so that
the hundreds of engines and thous-
ands of cars it now takes to serve Ida
no for its fuel supply will be released
for handling war materials"

District taxpayers.

More Haste, Less Speed.

Present inaction is safer than over
hasty action. Much harm is feared by
the District from alteration of its
way. No harm can come from the de-
lay which is required for careful and
thorough consideration of the new
organic act which after the precedent
of the law OF 1878 may govern the
relations between nation and capital
for the next forty or. fifty years.
Evidence has demonstrated and the
Joint congressional fiscal committee
has reported that the half-and-half
law is fair to the nation; that under
it the capital is equitably taxed and
that under it the nation pays not too
much, but too little for capital up
building.
The nation, therefore. does not suf-
fer from the continued existence and
operation of the half-and-half law,
pending the careful framing of a wise
and just substitute; even if the sign
ing of the new Congress must be
awaited before this legislation can be
enacted.
its exclusive possession the right and
power to determine to the rninutest
and it's capital shall be. 1t forfeits
no atom of its power of exclusive
legislation in framing the Districts
rev organic act by postponing action
until the people to be affected by the
altered fundamental law can be heard
considerably and thoughtfully by the
two District committees or by a spe-
c;al joint committee created for this
purpose. The two District commit
tees of this Congress may not be able
to cooperate in framing the law.
SANDER has alienated them and par
alyzed them into helplessness. But
these disabling conditions will not
exist in the new Congress, which will
be available after next March 4.
Congress Fair in the End.
The District has often been threat
ened in the course of congressional
legislation with some gross injustice,
but invariably in the end, when great
and vital issues have been involved,
Congress has decided in accordance
with wisdom and equity. And so it
will be in framing for the 100000
Americans of the District the organic
act, the new state constitution. which
may bless or curse the capital and
its people for the next half century.
The nation will never be so small
and mean as to use it's exclusive
power of District legislation solely in
its own selfish interest. 1t will never
sink SO low as to strike from the or
ganic act of 1878 its own primary OBJ
legation, pledge and guarantee of just
treatment and leave upon the people
of Washington the burden of sacrifice
of American rights and privileges eX-
acted from them in 1878 in connection
with the half-and-half legislation.
Washington's development of forty
years under the operation of the or
ganic act of 1873 is something glor1-
