SUMMER SESSION
AROUSES INTEREST

The University of Idaho will con-
duct summer session this year, in
which students will have an oppor-
tunity to make up back work, or to
secure few extra credits. Profess
sional work will be. offered for high
school teachers and superintendent,
but there will be no professional work
for teachers of elementary schools.
1t is hoped, however, that grade and
rural teachers will avail themselves
of the splendid opportunity for COM
plotting college education, or pursu-
ing some special subject while en-
joying a delightful vacation.
A number of inquiries concerning
the summer terms have alraedy
reached the office and it is believed
that the attendance will be even larg-
er than for previous years.

SCHOOLS SEEK ADVICE
OF IDAHO EDUCATOR

Representative officials of the high
schools of Lapwai and Orofino con-
suited the Department of Education
regarding administrative problems
characteristic of their schools.
Mr.. Segris and Mr.. Hofee of Lap
wal visited Professor Phi. Soulen's
office last Thursday and discussed
with him several proposed plans for
some reorganization and changes in
the administration of their school
system.
Lapwai is considering a high school
consolidated district. Professor Soulen
represents the state board of edu-
cation in such school affairs and, be-
cause of his experience and inten-
sive study of Idaho's high school sys-
tenn and it's problems, is constantly
being interviewed for his suggestions
and recommendations.
The visiting board members spoke
very highly of the work done in their
high school by two of Idaho's grad
yates, Miss Grace Darling, IT, and
Miss Mary Noble, IT.
Professor Soulen said: "These

CHARGES SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED

Gen. Pershing's report that the at
tacks on the military camp at Brest
originated with discharged officer
who had been court martialed for
striking an enlisted man, and who
had threatened to ''get even" when
he regained the safety of civil life
and the license of his old newspaper
connections should be carefully di-
gested by the American public. The
truth is that while the management
of the American expeditionary force
has not been above criticism, many
of the charges and demands for con-
gressional Investigations into overseas
operations emanate from returned Of
ficers with personal grudges to feed.
The public should be slow to accept
as we'll founded attacks on Gen. Per-
shing; in any case, judgment should
be suspended until his side can be
heard -Springfield Republican.

trustees are anxious to retain these
university graduates and are looking
over the prospective material in col
lege now with the intention of filling
next years vacancies with other Ida
no graduates"
Superintendent R. R. Richmond of
Orofino has visited the university,
asking for aid in planning for consid-
cradle reorganization work and new
buildings.
Superintendent Richmond told Pro-
fessor Soulen that Miss Eunice Kel-
Ter, 10, was doing very successful
work and he would look to this col
lege for his teachers.

C.. H. BULLEN MAKES
STATEMENT ON CONCRETE

C. H. Bullen, secretary of the Con-
crete Pipe company, who bid $4,000
on concrete pipe for the sewer extern
sion, was a caller at The Star Mir
ror office today to explain his bid
and the work his company is doing.
Mr.. Bullen says his company has
headquarters at Portland and offices
or plants at Hayden Lake, Walla
Walla, Ontario, Oregon, Vancouver
and Tacoma, Wash. He says his
company has contract to furnish

price of SIPS per foot, and has laid
$50 miles of its pipe in Portland. He
says he plans to establish a plant
here and ship a machine here, if he
gets the contract and will make the
pipe in Moscow, using local labor and
that he hopes to make concrete Gull
verts for many road districts at the
Moscow plant. He contends that by
establishing a plant here and making
the pipe in Moscow it can be done
cheaper, especially if local sand can
be used, than by making the pipe
elsewhere and shipping it to Moscow.
Mr.. Bullen was accompanied by H.
M. Heleniak, of the International
Portland Cement company, of Spo-
kane, which firm got the contract for
furnishing the cement to Moscow

Do not burn up any discarded shoes
or clothing you have stored in attic

In this connection it is inter-

demonstrations have proven the
practicability, by means of small
parachutes of dropping airplane
mail at intermediate points.
There is also under consideration
a plan for the establishment of

The fIume Question Again.
To Be Continued.

1t now appears that, notwith.
standing, the many reports to
the contrary, the question of the
disposition of Fiume has not yet
been finally determined and will
therefore have to be further con-
sidered in connection with the
Austrian Treaty. The President
and Premier Lloyd George having
now left France, and Premier
Clemenceau having apparently
withdrawn from further personal
participation in Peace matters,
a new council of Five has been
formed with the following men,
bers: Secretary Lansing, M.
Pichon, Mr.. Balfour, Signor
Tittoni, and Baron Maxine.
This body is to take charge of
Peace Conference affairs for the
present at least, and one of the
first matters calling for consider

his life, he was noted for the
fixedness of his opinions and the
tenacity with which he adhered
to them under all circumstances.
He was the author of many max
lines and aphorisms, some of
which are repeated among the
people of the county until the
present day.. In the earlier
years of his life, he was often
wont to say, that there were

The fact, that the parents and
one of the grandparents of Sam.
uel B. Clemmons, better known
as Mark Twain, were reared and
married there, has caused a be-
lief upon the part of many, that
the great humorist, himself. was
a native of the county. This be-
lief led a gentleman, who is now
Q919 prominent business man
of Louisville, KY. into an en-
barrassing situation. While a |
high gentleman, with many wor-
thy qualities, he is a very posi-
tive character, especially about |
his information. He is one of |
those positive men, whose infor.
nation consists of nothing but
facts, and he has no opinions
nor beliefs. At the time, that
the mother of Mark Twain made
the visit to Columbia, mentioned
above, the gentleman engaged in
a conversation with several la
dies upon a train, without the
knowledge that Mrs. CJemmons
was one of them. When, for
some reason, the name of Mark
Twain was mentioned, the gen.
tleman promptly volunteered the
information, that Mark Twain was
born at Columbia. Mrs. Clemmons
quietly demurred to the correct
ness of the assertion, and said
that he must be mistaken. He
very positively decl AIRED, that
he was not mistaken, that he
hadbeen shown the house at Co.
lumbia in which Twain was born,
and that his information came
from persons, who were perfectly
reliable, and could not have been
mistaken in their information.
Mrs. Clemmons very quietly
begged pardon, and said, that
she must have been laboring un-
der a mistake herself for a long
time, but that she was the moth.
er of Mark Twain, and had al
ways believed. until then, that
his birth had occurred in Florida,
Missouri.
COL. WILLIAM OWENS.
Col. William Owens, was a
noted lawyer and politicians of
Adalr county. He was born in
Fauquier county, Virginia, on
the fourth day of May, 1779. He
was a nephew of the celebrated
Simon Kenton, who brought him
to Kentucky when he was ten
years of age, in 1888. When
Gen. Anthony Wayne made his
campaign against the Indians, in
Ohio, Owens was a captain in
Wayne's army, and participated
in the various marches and bat.
ties, which occurred in that cam
paign. He is reputed to have
been a very fine soldier. After
obtaining a license to practice
law, ne, at the first, opened an
office for the practice of his pro-
