The first death from influenza oc-
Cured early this morning when Miles
Jordan Davis, of Gillette, Wyoming
died after a lingering illness with
pneumonia, following influenza. The
young man was just 21 years old and
was a member of the vocational
training corps. He was taken sick
before entraining for Moscow and was
quite i'll when he reached here. His
condition has been critical for sew
eral days. He had never been able
to take the physical examination.
His mother, Mrs. May Davis, and
friend, Mrs. Southworth, of Gillette,
Wyoming, arrived at noon today and
are being cared for at the home of
President and Mrs. Lindley They
will return to their home with the
body tomorrow, leaving on the morn
ing train. An escort from the voca-
tional training school will accompany
the body.
The other case of pneumonia, that
of Private Cross, also of Wyoming,
who was not expected to live, is re-
garded as slightly improved with
some chance of recovery.
The general situation is reported
better today. In the S. A. T. C. and
vocational training corps, with more
than 800 members, six new cases were
admitted to the hospital and two were

RALPH BROWnLOWS
WIFE IS STRICKEN
FORMER RESIDENT OF MOSCOW
ESCAPES FROM SPOKANE HOS
PITAL WHILE SICK

Mrs. Emma Brownlow, wife of
Ralph Brownlow, former linotype op-
orator for the Idaho Post and resi-
dent of Moscow for a long time, is
seriously i'll with influenza at Spo-
kane and while delirious escaped from
the hospital. Mr.. Brownlow is "over-
seas" having been sent across after he
had completed two months of train
ing in the vocational training school
at the University of Idaho, being a
member of the first class of 100 at
the university. The following from
the Spokane Chronicle tells of Mrs.
Brownlow's escape from the hospital:
Mrs. Emma Brownlow, delirious
patient at the influenza hospital, es-
capped through rear window, and,
after obtaining a nickel from the
landlady of a nearby lodging house,
called the police station yesterday af.
ternoon. She asked that officers be
sent with the patrol wagon to take
her home.
The police responded and returned
Mrs. Brownlow to the hospital, but
she was later taken to her home at
SIPS Thorpe stree, as there is not suf-
ficient help at the hospital for per-
sOnal guard. Her condition is said
to be much improved today.

POLITICAL WRITER

Arthur Wonsettler, political writer for
The Spokesman is in Moscow
today. Mr.. Wonsettler has had many
years of experience in politics in the
northwest and is touring the 10 northern
counties to get line on the political
situation. He predicts that, taking five
counties north of Latah, in which he has
been in the past week, Davis for gov
ernor and Gooding for United States
senator, will have clear majority, de-
spite the fact that Bonner county is
Samuels' home and the labor and T. w.

these counties will vote solidly for Nu-
gent and Samuels. Mr. Wonsettler pre-

COLLEGE CORN
YIELDS 81 BUSHELS
RECORD YIELDS REPORTED IN
SEED PLATS OF UNIVERSITIES
FINE FARM

The agricultural college Of the Uni
versity of Idaho has just harvested
corn that yielded an average of "a
bushels per acre. This corn is known
as "Rustler's white dent" the seed be-
ing obtained from Minnesota several
years ago. This was grown in the
seed plat at the college farm by H.
w. Hubert, who has charge of the
farm crop work of the college.
The corn was grown from selected
seed, each row being planted with
seed from one ear of corn. Seven
of the rows gave yields averaging
over 100 bushels and one row went
125 bushels. The corn is we'll ma
tured, firm and of fine quality. 1t
was harvested about October 1, but
has only been measured and the re-
port tabulated recently.
The corn was planted May % and
harvested October l, making short
season. Last year this corn was tried
with many other varieties and found
to mature earlier than any Of them.
For that reason it is regarded as a
good corn for this northern country
where the seasons are short.
The agricultural college raised 25
acres Of corn for silage this year and
got an average of seven tons per
acre. There are four big silos on the
college farm with capacity of between
800 and 400 tons and they are all
filled with feed for the stock this
winter. There was not enough corn
to fill all of them and peas and oats
were used as silage to some extent,
both being cut while green. This
combination is regarded as very good
silage, almost equal to corn. Alfalfa
mixed with peas and oats has given
satisfactory silage at the college
farm, sheep being fattened on it last
year.

Circularizing is growing popular as
election day draws near. H. F. Samuels
nonpartizan candidate for governor, is
sending circulars to Latah county voters
asking their support Circulars from
II w. w. headquarters asking support
for John F. Nugent, nonpartizan candi-
date for United States senator are also
being received here. A. l. Morgan, the
well-knowns attorney, of Moscow, re-
ceived one of Mr. Samuels' circular let
ters and took his typewriter i'll hand
and answered it. The STAR Mirror is
privileged to give a copy of Mr.. Nor
gan's answer to its readers The letter
of Mr. Morgan is surely an able one,
going straight to the mark and every
word of it should be read by the voters
of this county. The letter follows:
October "a, 1918.
"Mr. H. F. Samuels,
"Boise, Idaho.
"Sir: | have before me your letter
dated October 20, in which you say: /
wish to state frankly and briefly my
position on questions of unusual and
vital importance
"In these troublous times when I am
approached with view to obtaining my
support for any man, | feel that it is
meet and proper that PROFOUND to him
such pertinent questions as may suggest
themselves to me with reference to his
right to claim my suffrage in his behalf
or those with whom he is associated
In your said letter you say that during
the present emergency all that Idaho
has should be placed at the disposal of
the president to be used by America S
forces, and you also say, our one great
purpose at this time is to win the war.
In view of the fact that the non-partizan
league was openly and notoriously
against the war, opposed to the draft,
and not in sympathy with war measures
until it became apparent to the leaders
of that organization that such course
was suicidal, I would like to have you
tell me what you have to offer by way
of showing that the change of front SO
recently made by the leaders of this
organization is bona fide reformation
and not merely ruse to trap the TN
wary.
"Your letter is apparently intended to
lead me to believe that if elected to the
high office of governor you would give
to the state of Idaho an administration
along lines calculated to bring the utmost
good to our citizens. In yesterdays issue
Of the Moscow Star Mirror one Of the

as making the statement that during the

All Doctors Helping.
In reporting the influenza situation
yesterday the statement was made
that all of the doctors of Moscow are
doing all in their power to control the
situation, and the names of several
were given. Inadvertently the names
of Drs. Hatfield and Leitch were omit
ted from the list. These men are do
ing as much as any men can do to
help in the great work that is taxing
the strength Of all of the doctors of
Moscow.
Capt. Felker Optimistic.
Capt. Luther Felker, commanding
officer of the University Of Idaho S.
A. T. G. said late Thursday afternoon
that the Spanish influenza situation
was well in hand. Captain Felker
said: 1.-THE situation is wellain hand.
Weather conditions are good for the
stamping out of the epidemic. We
have every reason to believe that the
would be in their own homes. All those
are being cared for better than they
would be intheir own homes. All those
who show any temperature are i'm

comfortable quarters with ample care

A, |, MORGAN ASKS SAMUELS
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Coeur dAlene riots in an interview with
you (you at that time being the prose.
cutting attorney of Shoshone county,
you said that the parties who were ther
being investigated and who were sus-
pected of blowing up the Bunker Hill
mill were your friends and business asso-
ciates and the men who had elected you
to office. Upon this ground you refused
Ito. prosecute them. May / inquire, Mr.
Samuels, if you happen to be elected tc
| the office of governor of this state, will
| you entertain like ideas toward the men
who are responsible for your candidacy
toward the leaders of the non-partizan
league? Will you, having been faithful
to the outlaws that terrorized the Coeur
d'Alenes, be like faithful to the expo
nents of the T. w. w. and the nom
partizan league? Will you, having re-
fused to be bound by your oath to EN-
force the law as prosecuting attorney for
Shoshone county, because the men ac-
cused were your friends, business asso-
ciates, and political hackers, turn over
the affairs of the state to your political
hackers in the present campaign?
would like to know from just what point,
if you are elected, will executive control
of our affairs come 4? With whom are
you most friendly and to whom are you
going to attribute your election, the non
partizan league or the l. w. W.? Or
will you give to both the credit, and will
you get your instructions, on account Of
your friendship, jointly from Townley's
headquarters in St. Paul, and Bill Hay
woods headquarters in federal prison
cell? Since you were true to your
friends in the past and since admittedly
the organizations above referred to, and
which are headed and controlled re-
spectively by the men named, who are
your friends, it becomes a vital question
to me just what your attitude will be
toward these men and just what, if any,
control they are going to exercise over
you after election?
"You say in your letter: Let lis save
for our returning heroes a goodly share
of Idaho's natural resources Taking
the admitted fact that the non-partizan
league and the l. W. W. are combined
together in this campaign as a basis from
which to consider the matter. it is

 SERVICE TEA

The cabin homo Of Robert serV- ice, bard of the Yukon, was cen ter of gayety in Dawson last eve ming. Hundreds flocked there and enjoyed the evening as guests of Klondike chapter Of the Daughters of the Empire. The home was brilliant with flags and electric lights, Japanese lanterns and many other gay decorations.
 Large tents and other picturesque booths afforded comfortable retreats where the guests found seats and were served with light refreshments.
 The members of the chapter, comprising young unmarried ladies of the city, were attired in Japan ese costumes, and served the guests All the costumes were most beoom- ing.
 A large platform was erected on the edge of the sidewalk, and first class music was provided, with John Dimes leading the orchestra. A heavy canvas was spread over the boards, and dancing was one of the chief diversions of the evening.
 The cabin was opened, and many of the guests went there and viewed the haunts of the poet, and saw some of his musings just as he had scripbled them on the wall with pen- cil. One of the most conspicuous was over the door in large letters, and ssid, Don't Worry; Work"
 A large stove was kept hot in the cabin kitchen, where the coffee was prepared, and where the dishwashing corps, did its unpoetic, but esential stunts.
 The home of Turner Townsend, adjoining the poets place, also was utilized in receiving the guests. The Townsend place was gay in lanterns and flags, a6 was render er further attractive by the yard ful of beautiful, full blown flowers of many varieties. MT. Townsend provided and put in position the many flags used apout the Service grounds. He was ably assisted by John Ferguson. Mrs. Culbertson, the regent, and the members of the chapter also did much hard work preparatory t0 the event and in looking to the comfort of the guests during the evening. A large sum was uetted for benefit O. the patriotic cause. The base ball game which was scheduled to be played as an auxiliary attrac- tion did not take place, owing to the failure of Senator Shanes Bears to come down out of the woods to offer battle to the Daw- son WOlYes.-Dawson News.
