HIGHWAY PROJECT
PLANS ACCEPTED
SURVEY OF STATE HIGHWAY is
COMPLETED TO POTLATCH
WORK ON BOVILL

The highway project plans and data
for the state highway through Latah
county as far as Potlatch have been
completed by Engineer Monahan and
his assistants and have been accepted
by the state highway engineer and
the board of public works. A splend-
id grade has been adopted, not equal
ing five per cent at any point between
Moscow and Potlatch. The state high
way runs between the Palouse and
Flanagan creek roads, striking the Pa
louise river at Kennedy Ford. It turns
to the right about half a mile after
passing through Viola. An easy pass
through the mountain was found and
an easy grade has been surveyed for
the entire distance. The road has been
located beyond Potlatch through
Princeton and Harvard and the work
of surveying this will begin as soon
as the Moscow-Bovill survey is COM
pleted.
The engineers have completed the
work on this survey to Deary and are
pushing on toward Bovill. This is a
section of the state highway and i. is
believed it will be generally Travelled.
1t leaves Moscow via the Gem etery
and keeps to the left of the railroad,
crossing the railroad but once between
Moscow and Troy. A fine grade is be-
ing established on this road.
The state has examined and accept
ed the work done so far, which in
sures work starting just as early as
possible in the spring, for construc-
ton Of the roads The state examin-
er has passed on the work done and
it has been accepted throughout. Just
as soon as spring opens as many men
and jeans as can be secured will be
put to work on the roads and grading
will be rushed.
Location work on the Moscow Bo-
will highway will start as soon as pos
sible and this line will be completed,
80 far as the engineering work prior
20 beginning of construction is con-
,erned, within the next few weeks.

M0SC0W'S HARVEST FESTIVAL
WILL Be A SPLENDID SHOW

who come to the fair Every store
will have "bargain week" during the
fair. The fair and festival are plan
ned primarily to bring people to Mos
cow to show them what a splendid
trading point this is. Moscow wants
to extend her trade in every direction.
Visitors will be given an opportunity
to learn why Moscow has the reputa-
ton of being the best trading point
in the Inland Empire and why people
come from as far as Grangeville on
the south, Spokane on the north, La
Crosse on the west, and as far as
there is settlement on the east, to
trade in Moscow. Buyers are urged
to wait for "bargain week" at Mos
cow, during the fair, before buying
their fall supplies. Farmers are in
vited to come to the buying carnival.
1t will pay them to come long dis
tance. Not store in Moscow has
failed to enter the agreement to give
bargains during fair week. Farmers
and citizens of other towns can we'll
afford to come here during the week
to lay in their fall and winter sup
plies for they can make enough in
the saving in prices to pay all ex-
penses of coming to the fair. Watch
for the announcements to be made
next week. They will surprise, inter-
est and please you.

COMPANY
GETS FINE CATTLE
HAGEN & CUSHING SHIP CATTLE
FROM CRAIG MOUNTAIN
TO KILL HERE

A carload (26 head) of extra choice
steers from the Craig mountain dis
trict reached the big packing plant
of Hagen & Cushing Monday evening
and are being killed today. The
cattle were bought by Mons Hansen,
one of the buyers for the firm, who
spent some time in the Craig mount
ain country, where he says there is
g choice lot of cattle that are oeing
held for higher prices. The steers
cost the firm considerably more than
$10O per head in addition to the
freight charges and other expenses,
but they are fine lot, weighing a
little better than 100 pounds each, on
an average.
Homer Lyon, another buyer for the
firm, brought in some etxra choice
steers and cows from the Kendrick
district, driving them in from the
farms where they were bought and
another carload was shipped in from
Cottonwood
This firm, which is doing an enorm-
Gus business and is one of the big
enterprises of Moscow, furnishing
employment to many and paying out
vast sums for livestock, and furnish
ing fresh and cured meats to a large
recently. Saturday 80 fine hogs
were killed and Monday being holi-
day they were allowed to hang in the
cooling room. Tuesday these were
cut up and % head of cattle were
killed. Six of these went out We'd
nesday morning and the others will
go out soon. Six head went to Pot
latch Thursday morning.
Thursday about 40 head of cattle
were killed and the remainder of 81
head in the yards will be killed this
week in addition to a number of extra
choice hogs that are in the pens.
The first of the week the firm
bought 35 choice spring lambs from
Frank w. Wallen, farmer who be-
lieves in diversified farming and
raises sheep, hogs, geese and other
poultry and always has something to
sell when he goes to town. The
lambs were a choice lot, weighing
about 80 pounds each and brought
10 cents a pound, or about SO per
head and they were late spring lambs,
at that.
Every day the firm ships out
thousands of pounds of fresh and
cured meats which go as far south
as Grangeville and as far north as
Spokane. One day this week ship
ment of 1000 pounds of tripe was
made to Spokane, and the firm has
regular customers east and west and
north of Spokane, despite the fact
that Armour and Carstens Brothers
each have big packing plant in that
city.
Mr.. Hagen is devoting most of his
time to the packing plant now and
spends little time at the Cold Storage !
market, which, while large, is but a
small portion of the firms great |
business.

MUCH WHEAT COMES
TO MOSCOW HOUSES
FARMERS UNION WAREHOUSE
AND ELEVATOR HAVE RE-
CEIVED 100000 BUSHELS

Despite the fact that much thresh-
ing remains to be done in Latah coun-
ty, wheat hauling is the great order
of the day in this section now and
the warehouses and elevators have
been filling up at rapid rate. 1t
is no uncommon sight to see great
strings of teams lined up at the ware
houses and elevators waiting an op-
portunity to unload. About three
fourths of the grain received so far
is in bulk, and about one fourth is
sacked.
The Farmers Union elevator has re-
ceived almost 10000 bushels of bulk
grain, while the warehouses have re.
ceived more than 10000 bushels of
sacked grain thus far. The big ele-
vator holds $4,000 bushels and it was
filled and $4,000 bushels shipped out
to Seattle and Spokane mills, and the
elevator is almost full again. Ship
ments are being made as fast as cars
can be received and loaded.
Most of the wheat delivered at the
warehouses and elevators is being
sold. Few farmers care to hold for
higher prices than the government
guaranteed price, but most of them
sell their wheat as soon as it is IN
the warehouse or elevator. The wheat
is being milled in the west and ex-
ported as flour.
The White-Dulaney Company, which
recently bought warehouses at Joel
and Moscow, is getting big lot OF
grain at Joel and already has close
to 100 tons of timothy and alfalfa
hav and expects to handle $50 tons
of hay there. Mr.. Stivers, district
manager, says the Joel houses are
doing a fine business. His firm is the
buying end Of the great Fisher Mills
at Seattle, Bellingham and Mount
Vernon, and all of the wheat bought is
shipped direct to those mills, to be
ground into flour or cereals, the Noun
Vernon mill being a cereal mill. The
firm is paying $50 per ton for timothy
hay and is getting nice lot of it.
The Farmers Union Company has
also bought 1900 sacks of peas this
season. They were nearly all of the
Blue Prussian variety and 61z cents
a pound was paid for No. peas of
this variety. Canadian peas are
worth from AN to Az cents a pound.
That Moscow will get much more
wheat this year than last is the opln-
ion of George Sievers, manager of the
Farmers Union warehouses and eie-
vator. He says as rule red wheats
are better this year than last, but
club wheats are running light, running
from SO to 597a poonds to the bushel.

TRAVEL TO
ALASKA BREAKS RECORDS

JUNEAU, Alaska.-(By mail y
Never before in the history of Alaska
has the summer tourist rush to the
northland been as great as it is this
year. Hundreds of people from the
states evidently are obeying the in
junction to "see America first" and
are starting on Alaska.
All Alaska seaports report there
are scores of people here, who, on ac-
count of the rush of excursionists,
are unable to get Accommodations on
steamers back to the states. Steam
ship companies find themselves unable
to handle both the tourist traffic and
the regular summer business.

Many Auto Licenses.

Up to date County Assessor Gim-
nell has issued 1907 automobile lie
enses for Latah county, as compared
with 1885 for the entire year of 1918.
This number includes two that were
cancelled, leaving the number 1908,
and all transfers and dealers licenses.
There are probably not more than 25
or 80 dealers licenses and transfers,
which would make the number of
automobiles licensed in this county
between 1850 and 1875, an increase
of almost $50 over the record for the
entire year, 1918.

School Teachers Needed.
Moscow and Latan county are :

Moscow and Latah county are short
of school teachers. There were four
vacancies in the teaching staff of the
Moscow schools a few days ago but
it is believed at least two of these
have been filled. Miss Carrie Morse,
one of the teachers in the Whitworth
school, resigned unexpectedly and left
a vacancy there. Superintendent
Rich has been in telegraphic cores
pondence with several teachers who
had applied during the summer and
hopes to have all vacancies filled be-
for school opens next Monday. Miss
Lillian Skattaboe, County superin-
tendent, says there are number of
schools in the country districts that
have not yet secured teachers for the
school year to open this month.

Senator w. s. Thompson, of Hutchin-

apt to see that he gets about every
thing he desires while in Kansas. The
reason is that Captain PoIlain and his

a brother-in-law of Senator Thomp-

This brother-in-law is J. r. DON

GERMANY AT FAULT
Leader BInmes Government fol
Trouble With Poles.
tBy .he Associated Press)

Weimar, Wednesday, March 5.--1n
the discussion of the Polish question
in the German national assembly to-
day Matthias Erzberger, chairman of
the German arInistice commission,
criticised the old German government
severely for its policies toward the
Poles, which consistently alienated
them Several speakers supported the
views of Erzberger, but the majority
argued that the Polish attitude to-
ward Germany was one of injustice
and ingratitude.
Herr Erzberger said that the treat
ment of the Poles by the old govern
ment had created a problem where
otherwise there would have been none.
He said that the present government
was as conceEned with the situation in
the east as its critics and was as
anxious to help the Germans in Ger
man Poland. The speaker said he
wished that Germany had been fairer
to the Poles at the beginning of the
present situation, which in that case.
now would be more favorable to Ger
many. The government, the speaker
continued. intended to make demands
for the protection of the German mi
norities IN other states, but it cannot
claim this right unless the Germans
protect the minority populations with
in Germany.
Erzberger concluded by saying that
the behavior of the German troops in
Posen in November had hurt German
prestige with the Poles greatly. He
mentioned that in one instance sew
eral thousand German soldiers and Of
ficers had fled before 500 poorly arm
ed and poorly disciplined Poles.
