ASSISTS MINERS
IDAHO CONGRESSMAN ASKS
THAT ASSESSMENT WORK
BE OMITTED FOR 1919

WASHINGTON. = Hearings cons
tinue before the Committee ON Mines
and Mining on the bill for exemption
of assessment work on mining claims.
Congressman French was called be-
fore the committee today and in sup
port Of the bill urged that it was be-
ing advocated from every mining
county in his district, and that 1t IS
important that the bill be passed i'm
mediately so that owners of mining
claims may know how to plan. He
pointed out that work vas exceeding
ly high; that powder and other ma
terials are expensive, and that $lOO
worth of money does little more than
$50 to $35 worth of work measured
by normal conditions; that the min.
ing claim owners are not relieved OF
doing assessment work under the bill
but that their work is merely post
poned.
In answer to question whether or
not members would not be coming in
another year to ask that this exemp-
ton be passed over entirely, and
be permitted to go to pat
ents as though the assessment work
had been done, Mr.. French said, mol!
The West would be the first to OPP
pose it and the mining men in the
west would be the first to resent 1T,
for the precious metals al only be
obtained and claims be made valu-
by work"

and his wife, in a "490" Chevrolet car,

bought in Montana, starting about the
middle of June and returning recent

was an interesting and unusual one.
The first night they camped on
Hangman creek, near Spokane, and it
was so cold their radiator froze and
water froze in utensils about the
camp. The second night they camped
in the Bitter Root fountains n a
heavy white frost fell. After tnat II

BUYS MORE LAND
MAN FROM MINNESOTA SHOWS
FAITH IN PALOUSE SOIL BY
INVESTMENTS.

j. F. Papineau, of Cottonwood, Min
nesota, who bought the H. H. Simpson
farm of $50 acres four miles north
of town last spring for $115 per acre,
has closed a deal with Thomas Nagel
for SO acres of land adjoining the
Simpson farm, and he paid $125 per
acre for this tract. MI. Papineau now
owns 449 acres of fine land in a body
and knows that he got a bargain.
He left today for his home in Min
nesota and will return in September
with his family and some fine live
stock, including some registered
Scotch Shorthorns and o. /. e. hogs.
Papieau is delighted with this
section of the country and will try to
bring several of his neighbors out to
look at it. He feels certain that a
number of them would sell their land
in Minnesota and buy here If they
only knew what splendid land can be
bought here at what he regards as a
very low price.

MOSCOW COUNTRY
!. THE BEST THEY SAW
MOSCOW MINISTER AND HIS
FAMILY MAKE LONG TRIP
BUT FOUND THIS BEST

That the country about Moscow is
far ahead of any section they visited
is the statement of Rev. H. 0. Perry,
pastor of the Moscow Methodist
church, who, with his family returned
Saturday night from an automobile
trip through a large part of Wash
ington. Rev. Mr.. Perry kindly con
scented to write a brief description of
the trip and his impressions of the
country, for the readers of this paper.
His statement, which is full of inter
est, follows:
Editor of Star-Mirror:-It might
be interesting to the readers of your
paper to know the impressions of one
who has travelled across three hun
bred miles of wheat and fruit land.
We travelled by automobile to Spo-
kane and west through the Big Bend
country to Chelan and were very
careful to observe crops and general
outlook for the country. We were
quite we'll impressed with the beauty
of the wheat fields all along, though
in places the crop is very short.
In coming home we took the "Col-
lege Hill" road from Pullman and had
a good chance to see the general out
look around Moscow. There is no.
thing for three hundred miles that
compares with the scene that greets
your eyes as you come into Moscow
by way of the University. We were
struck by the beauty of the scene and
also by the richness of the color of
The crops. 1t may be that u crops
are short but we are in clover COM
pared to some other sections. This
S recognized by the people of the
Big Bend. One of it's leading citi-
,ens who recently visited here,
that the Palouse country
vas by far the richest in the state.
We had an enjoyable trip. Travelled

grew warmer and the weather was
pleasant. They went via Spokane,
Occur d'Alene, Wallace, Missoula,
Butte. Billings, Glendive to the Golden
valley, in northern Montana, in which
valley, near the town of Holley, Mr..
Mickey bought $40 acres of farm land
last spring. Speaking of the land he
said:
Il am well pleased with my pur-
chase. OF course this is the dryest
season ever known, and crops are
poor, but they are much better there
than in many places through which we
travelled. We cannot judge that coun-
try by this season any more than we
can judge the Palouse country by this
season. We will have some grain on
my farm and that section will have a
fairly good crop, being one of the best
in Montana. My land is near Holley
and about 80 miles from Beach, North
Dakota, the greatest original wheat
shipping point in the United States,
it is claimed. l am neal Wibaux,
Mont"
The party drove over in North Da-
kota and saw much of the country in
northeastern Montana. They had a
camping outfit and camped every
night. Speaking of the cars and the
cars and the roads Mr.. Mickey said:
Generally speaking, the roads were
good, but we went over some very bad
roads. One point in the mountains
was particularly bad. The Baby
Grand pulled this grade on informed
late and people who travel over the
road told us ours was the only car
that had pulled that grade except in
low. We had no trouble and no ex-
n for repairs except a bolt that
was bought for the 1890" The Baby
Grand averaged on the entire trip of
215O miles, 23 1-3 miles to the gallon
of gasoline and the "490" made an
of 26 miles on a gallon of
gas.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
WANTS STREET FIXED
SMALL ATTENDANCE BUT BUSY
SESSION AT WEEKLY
LUNCHEON

At the meeting of the Chamber
of commerce today the matter of the
Improvement of west Sixth street
was up for discussion.
1t was brought to- the attention of
the chamber that the farmers living
to the southwest on the road over the
University hill in conjunction with
the Highway District had improved
the road leading to the city and that
it would be necessary to improve
Sixth street to permit the farmers to
avail themselves of the improvements
made.
For several years the question of
improving this street has been a COM
munitv problem, hard to solve. The
people have been without sewer serv-
ice; Paradise creek, which is in the
street, makes the same a mud hole
and impossible in wet weather;
farmers have threatened to boycott
Moscow owing to their inability to
get their hogs to the packing plant;
an excessive cost has been necessary
to get feed to this from their Univer-
sity farm and the farmers to the
southwest of town have found it diff
ficult to get to the city with their
produce and to do their trading. The
problem of how to overcome these
difficulties was put up to the council
and it is hoped that ONE action will
be taken looking toward its solution.
The secretary reported the c. B.
Homer David and Harry
Whittier had been appointed to sol
icit funds for putting on the fall fair,
that a large carnival company had
been secured and that further ar
engagements would be made as soon as
the finance committee has completed
it's work.

125 or better, equivalent to a sharp
shooter rating and $50 more made
ITO to 1875, emitting them to consider
themselves marksmen.
The company of advanced college
students brought home the highest
average score, of 1895 points for
it's 81 men, and also the highest indi-
vidual score, made by Cadet FELTON,
Taylor of Pomona College, California.
Second and third places went to two
companies of high school students,
60 boys from southern California
schools making an average of 117.73,
and II high school boys in the third
company averaging 1889.
In order to select the fourteen men
who will represent the Preside R. O.
T. C. camp at the National rifle match
at Caldwell, N. j., next month, the
camp commander will send all cadets
who made scores of 100 or better,
numbering 81 men, back to the range
for an elimination contest. The team
will be finally selected on July 80,
and will leave for New Jersey the fol-
day.

HOWARD STAPLES
IS A S"HARPSHOOTER
MOSCOW BOY WINS HONORS
WITH RIFLE AT r. 0 T. c.,
SAN FRANCISCO.

Howard Staples, of Moscow, has
made h rifle team" of the reserve
officers training corps at the Presi-
do, San Francisco and will probably
be sent to New Jersey with the team
to compete with the sharpshooters of
the United States. Word reached
Moscow Monday that Howard had
made good" in sharp shooting as he
has done in everything he has under
taken.
The young man is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Staples and a
student of the University of Idaho.
He saw service" with the army in
Europe and on his return he entered
the University of Idaho again and
went as one of the Is cadets to the
reserve officers training camp at
the Preside. The following dispatch
gives the interesting facts:
Cadets ]. R. Hoover, V. R. Peterson
and L. C. Davis (Nampa) from the
Boise High school unit of the R. o.
T. c., and Leon Perrine Of Nezperce
and Howard w. Staples, of Moscow,
from the University of Idaho unit,
qualified among the sharpshooters at
the Preside camp.
Skill with the rifle is still an in
he.lcance of young America, at least
in The West and when under the in
stuction of expert officers. This
appears from the results of the course
in rifle practice given to the Reserve
Officers Training Corps cadets now
in camp at the Preside. Of 482
cadets who Went to the army rifle
rsnge at Fort Barry for rifle practice,
294, or over so per cent, returned with
scores equivalent to qualifications as
mazksmen and sharpshooters. Out

shooting for record, ia cadets made

JUGGLING WITH
JUSTICE" CHARGE
Judge Daily Says Some Plain
Words in New Brunswick
Case
sv star Cor-espoNdent.


NEW BRUNSWICK, July, 3.-That
efforts were being made to "juggle
with justice" by persons interested in
obtaining leniency for Isadore Knew
itz and Samuel Weiseman who were
convicted May goth of malicious mis-
chief, was the assertion of Judge DAILY
in Court of Quarter sessions today.
Krewitz and Weisemen were con-
victed of having entered the bakery
shop Joseph Abraham last January
and destroying flour, bread, a cash
register, telephone apparatus and
generally raising havoc as the out
come of a bakers feud that had been
in progress for some time. The judge
said that he had received letters from
Jews all over the country and that
all kinds of influence was being ex-
erted in behalf of the men.
Judge DAILY deferred sentence for
one week on motion of Walter G.
Sedan, counsel for Krewitz. The
court instructed Mr.. Sedan who was
only recently secured by Krewitz as
counsel, to investigate the matter
thoroughly and report on his find
ings. He denied a motion by John
Kirkpatrick for a new trial for the
men after Kirkpatrick had presented
an affidavit in which one of the COM
plainants' witnesses avered hat he
was not sure of the identity of the
men who ransacked the baker shop.
