"You are a far sighted man." said
H. Melgard, president OF the First
Trust & Savings Bank of Moscow to
the editor of The Star-Mirror.
"Almost one year ago you reported
that our bank would erect fine
bank building on the corner OF Third
and Main streets. Today we closed
deal for the Mark P. Miller corner
and will erect a bank building there.
We had no idea of building there
when the statement was made In The
Star Mirror and thought you had just
made a mistake and located our new
building at the corner of Third and
Main instead of on the corner of
Second and Main, where we planned
at that time to build it, but you must
have looked into the future. At any
rate we are going to make The Star
Mirrors words come true"
Buys Fine Corner Lot
The lot purchased by the First
Trust & Savings Bank as the site of
it's fine building which will add much
to the appearance of Moscows main
street, is regarded as the best avail
able location in Moscow. On the
three opposite corners are fine two
and three story brick buildings that
are a credit to the town. The build
ing to be erected by Moscows strong
financial institution will be fine
one. Architects have been working
on the plans for a month. The full
details of the fine building are not
completed and will not be made pub
lie until the plans are accepted by the
board of directors.
Price Paid is $13,50O-
The price paid to Mark P. Miller
for the lot which is occupied by a
one-story frame building that is al
most wreck, and one of the old land
marks of Moscow, is $13,500. The
building which will be torn down or
removed if it will stand to be moved,
has an interesting history which lack
of space forbids publishing now.
The bank officials have long been
planning to erect building that
would be in keeping with the bank
and it's growing business. 1t had
planned to tear down the building
where it is now located and the room
occupied by the Partisan shop, both
Of which are owned by the bank, and
erect a modern banking house on the
site. But the building now in use is a
good one and to tear it down would
mean loss of many thousands of
dollars in addition to the inconven-
ence of moving to temporary quar-

PREDICTION
ONE YEAR AGO COMES TRUE

ters while the building was being
torn down and the new one erected.
1t was finally decided to keep the
present building, which is desira-
BILE one, easily rented and is a good
investment, and to buy the other cor
ner and build a fine bank building
there.
This is good news for Moscow. 1t
means that the corner OF Main and
Third street will have four fine build
ings, each a credit to the town. 1t
also means that an old, unsightly
building, which has outlived it's use
fulness will be removed to make room
for the march of progress. 1t means
more substantial growth for the cap
ital of Latah county and the metrop-
oils of northern Idaho. The announ-
cement of the decision of the bank
officials to build there will be good
news to the people of Moscow.
Will Remove Land Mark.
The Mark P. Miller building is one
of the land marks of Moscow, having
been erected in 1881, almost SO years
ago. 1t was first built on the oppos-
ite side of Main street occupying the
lot now occupied by Knights Variety
store It was built by Howard Olson
as jewelry store and joined the har-
ness store Of G.. Weber, which stood
on the corner where the Cornor Drug
store now stands.
John and Frank Lieuallen used the
building for a grocery store after Mr..
Olson had disposed of his stock of
jewelry and in 1884, 80 years ago this
summer, the building was moved
across the street to its present loca-
ton and the corner room occupied as
a saloon. S. T. Owings had his
Baltimore Grocery" in the other
room of the building for number OF
years. The rear of the lot was for
merly occupied by a livery stable
which had a number of owners.
whether we build this year or next
the old wooden buildings will be re
moved" said H. Melgard, president
of the bank. 1--WE believe the vacant
lots will look better than the old
buildings that have stood there so
long, The new building to be erect
ed will be 40 by 70 feet and will be
two stories in height, although porb-
ably having but one floor, but it is
to be a modern bank building with a
high ceiling and will be credit to
the town. The entire building will be
occupied by the bank which will have
double the floor space it has in its
present location

MOSCOW HAS NEW
ADMINISTRATION
GRANT ROBBINS NEW CHIEF OF
P0LICE-G. w. SUPPIGER Is
CITY ATTORNEY

Mayor Gibson owho assumed office
last night, made many changes in
the appointive offices for Moscow.
Grant Robbins, who was chief of po-
lice when Mr.. Gibson was mayor
previously was appointed chief of po-
lice and o. e. Stanley was made dep
uty chief. John Hill succeeds w. J..
Costigan as sewer and water super
intendent; and G. w. Suppiger sue
ceeds G. G. Pickett as city attorney.
Three new councilmen took their
seats last night They are George
Horton and H. B. Mickey of the First
ward, succeeding John Nisbet and
DR.. I. R. Boyd; and Carl Anderson, in
the Third ward, succeeding R. w. Nor
ris, who was not candidate for re-
election
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-05-06

Mayor Gibson reappointed L. 7
Hammond as treasurer; W. A. Sheets
5as street commissioner; Harvey j.
Smith, as city engineer and T. S,
Cady, as sexton and j. A. Anell as
park gardener. Dr. f. M. Leitch was
appointed health officer, succeeding
DR., w. A. Adair.
The old council ratified a contract
made by the sewer committee with
j. w. Estes of Moscow for eXcavating
$500 cubic yards of earth for the
semitic tank, at SO cents per cubic
ward and a contract made with the
Standard Asphalt Paving company OF
Spokane, for the rent OF certain ma
chinery and equipment for $50 per
month, which saves the city buying
this costly machinery.
Grant Robbins, newly appointed
chief of police, needs no introduction
to Moscow people. He served as dep
uty sheriff under his brother, w. S.
Robbins, and was chief of police when
j. G.. Gibson was mayor from 1913
to 1917. and has hosts of friends in
Moscow. He is at present in Seat
tie. where he has been for more than
year, but is expected to return and
take up his duties here.
The committees appointed by Mayor
Gibson are: Finance and auditing, H.
B. Mickey and George Horton; water
and sewer Geo. S. Richardson and
w. H. Conner; health and police, Con-
ner and Richardson; fire, public build
ings and electric lights, Carl Ander-
son and H. B. Mickey; cemetery, park
and dumping grounds, Geo. e. Horton
and Carl Smith.

SPOKANE EXPERT
TALKS GOOD ROADS
TELLS WHAT THEY COST, HOW
PAID FOR AND HOW BADLY
NEEDED THEY ARE

F. w. Guilbert, of Spokane, who
has been at the head of the good roads
movement in eastern Washington fol-
several years, has issued the following
statement in regard to road improve
ment. 1t is so applicable to Latah
county that it is herewith republished
1t follows:
l found a man the other day, we'll
served by one of Spokane county S
splendidly improved roads, who is
willing that county road building
shall now cease, for the reason that
we would like to see his taxes re-
duced.
Everybody who pays taxes in the
county helped to pay for that fine
road which so we'll serves him.
There is just about four-tenths of one
per cent of the mileage of roads in
the county improved as well as the
pavement in question, and but per
cent of the county roads which are
at present standard graded, graveled
and otherwise hard surfaced. Yet
this man is willing to let the other
fellows get their improvements any
old way, now that they have built
his thoroughfare for him.
Boost for Other Fellows Road.
Fortunately there are few like him.
Those who have had these good roads
built and know what a general
scheme of such roads will mean to all
are the greatest boosters for the
other fellows road.
Let any one go beyond the terminal
of the several splendid main improved
roads and he will be amazed at the
development which has taken place.
Not all of these sections are pro-
vided with transportation facilities in
the form of all-the-year-round roads
now, but prospects are good for such
helpful means of getting their pro-
duce to market and allowing these
pioneers to have communication with
the city to take advantage also of it's
facilities.
Ask the real estate man who han
dies farm lands and tracts what his
prospects demand almost the first
thing. Soil, of course, comes first.
Then what? And lot of poor soil

FRENCH WILL BE
HERE TOMORROW
CONGRESSMAN WILL REACH
MOSCOW AND SPEAK HERE
WEDNESDAY EVENING

Hon. Burton L. French, congress
man for the First Idaho district, is
to be the guest of honor of his home
town tomorrow evening when he will
speak at the high school auditorium
on the Victory bond drive and what
he saw in the war zone of Europe.
Congressman French is one of the
most interesting speakers known
here and his talk will be filled with
interesting stories of scenes in the
war zone from which he returned to
America last week. Ii is planned to
meet Mr.. French somewhere between
here and Spokane and bring him to
Moscow in an automobile so he will
have the afternoon here. AS tomor-
row afternoon is to be legal holi-
day and all business houses are to
be closed and the afternoon devoted
to the Victory loan, it will give hun
dreds of Mr.. French's friends here an
opportunity to meet him before the
meeting begins.
Slow progress is being made in the
Victory loan drive. Latah county has
less than half its quota raised, al
though several towns are oversub
scribed. B. F. Thomas, captain of
Princeton precinct, reports his pre-
cinct oversubscribed by from 5000 to
S400 He thought the precinct was
short but one man with quota of
$500 had taken double that sum and
that put the precinct over the top
with number of pledges not yet
paid in.
The Roll of Honor.
Following are the names added to
roll of honor since the last |
list was published. The total sub
scribed yesterday through the three
banks of Moscow is $11, $50.

EIGHT KILLED TODAY
WHEN APARTMENT BURNED

COLUMBUS, Ohio.-Eight persons
are known to have been killed and
dozen or more injured, several prob
ably fatally, in a fire which early to-
day destroyed a six apartment house
in the down town section.

looks good to a fellow if it is located
somewhere near hard road, or will
be in the near future.
Why is the government speeding
up road work? And the state, and
then the counties adding to these
funds returns from high tax levies
wise ones?
Road Provisions Picayunish.
wish it were possible to let every
body in Spokane county know just
how petty we have been in our pro-
vision for roads and bridges. Our
levy now is just 1854 mills 2.6 mills
below the average Of the other coun-
ties, which provides the grand sum
of $4,000 a pear. More than $50
bridges must be taken care of out of
that. They are for the most part, in
deplorable condition because of the
picoyunish provision made. Let one
of these bridges fail with one auto
mobile load of our citizens and the
county will face payment of damages
far beyond several years returns from
a little over a one-third mill tax levy.
Another thing: If Uncle Sam says
to Spokane county, Here is $150,0O0
you can use this year and $l75,0OO
next year. what are we going to do
about it? Let some of the live coun-
ties take what we are not in posi-
tion to accept?
That is just about the condition we
are in, excepting in the case of those
roads which are state roads and now
already well taken care of.
See Broader Acceptance.
The next session of the legislature
will be asked to accept a much larger
sum of federal money than ever be-
fore, which must be matched dollar
for dollar by the state and counties.
The legislature will, I feel sure,
broaden the scope of the acceptance
act for taking and permit at least
half of the money thus provided to
be applied on connecting roads to
state highways.
How will we take advantage of
this federal aid without good, lib
eral construction fund from which
we may take dollars, which will be-
come two dollars with the acceptance
Of these offers? 1t will be poor bust
ness on our part not to take every
1ollar we may have a chance to get
n this way. will it not?
