ANOTHER HIGHWAY
DISTRICT TO VOTE
TROY WILL ASK FOR $125, 900
BONDS FOR BETTER ROADS
ELECTION JUNE

Another highway district bond cleo
ton is to be held in Latah county
on June 7, making three districts to
vote that day on total of S420, 1000
bonds for highway. Troy district
will vote on the proposition of issu-
ing bonds in the sum of $120,O00,
which with the Deary and Bovill dis
trict elections to be held the same
day, will make total or $420,00O to
be voted and if they carry will give
a grand total of 81 1,125, 900 bonds for
highway district in Latah county.
The Troy News contains the follow
ing statement about the bond cleo
tion. 1t follows:
In another column of this paper
will be found the notice of a special
bond election which will be held June
7th, at which time the qualified voters
! Of the district will vote upon the
\1uestion of voting bonds in the sum
of $125,OOO for road construction,
Fetc. The route of the north and
south state highway will soon be
decided upon, and the commissioners
after careful investigation find that
it will be impossible for them to Sc
cure federal and state aid for the
building of roads within the Troy
Highway District until bonds have
been voted within this district. The
commissioners are therefore helpless
at the present time, and their only
object in calling for bond election
at this time is in order to place them
in such a position that they can go
before the state officials and obtain
federal and state aid.
In the event that the election car
ries. the commissioners do not intend
to sell any bonds unless they succeed
in obtaining the desired federal and
state aid. They are holding a series
of school house meetings to ascer-
tain the feeling of the people on road
matters and at the same time giving
their reason for calling the bond cleo
tion. Considerable interest was
shown at the meeting held at the
Pleasant Hill school house Wednes-
dav evening, when about fifty farm
ers were present to discuss the state
highway proposition and good roads.
The fact that all signed a petition
requesting that the state highway
surveyor be sent here to make sur
vev Of the district for the north and
south road, show that the people llv-
ing in that part of the district are
IN favor of better roads, especially
when federal and state aid can be Sc
cured. The people of the state have
to pay their share of the approprla--
tions made for state roads, and II
these roads are left to go to some
other locality the people are. paying
for something from which they de-
rive little or no benefit. This. district
is indeed fortunate in having the
chance Of getting the state highway,
and as the commissioners have agreed
not to sell the bonds if the state
road does not come this way, should
be an inducement for all to vote for
the bonding at the election on June Z.

league plan is not ratified by the
senate during it's present session.

likely that decision will be reached
before few days, as an appeal will
be made to the Amateur Athletic

JOHN I. bAKEN BUYS
MORE PAL0usE LAND
Moscow Citizen Now Owns 1853 Acres
Near La Crosse, In Whitman
County

John T. Baken, well known Mos
COW citizen, has just rtturned from
a visit to his farms near La Crosse,
in Whitman county, Washington,
where he recently bought more land.
He is enthusiastic over the crop out
look and says some of the fall grain
in that section is practically "made"
and will yield heavy crop. Some
of the fall wheat on his ranch is waist
high, now, and some Turkey red
wheat is beginning to head. Mr.. Ba-
ken says that in the 16 years he has
been in that country he has never
seen a better crop prospect and that
crop conditions are good all the way
from here to La Crosse and beyond
there to Hay and as far as farming
is carried on this side of the breaks
of the Snake river. The La Crosse
Clipper says of Mr.. Baken's deals in
land near that town:
Buys Peter Johnson Place
John Baken is in town this week,
taking possession of the Peter John
son place and removing the line
fence between his old ranch and his
new purchase on Union flat few
miles from town.. The deal was
ClOSoQ ldSC WEEK IOI MI. JOullSOII
1711s acres for cash consideration
of $4,000. Half of the johnson
place is in crop this year. This buy
gives Mr.. Baken 1853 acres on Union
flat, the county road running through
the land. Both places will be farm
ed by the present tenant, Nels Guild
seth.
"Mr. Baken is accompanied to La
Crosse by his aged father, who al
though 80 years old, says he is still
good for days work, and insists on
helping his son tear down the fences"
Mr.. Bakens son, Palmer Baken,
who recently returned from 18 months
of service in the army, having been
overseas for a long time, is at La
Crosse and has been promoted to the
position of assistant cashier in the
First State Bank of La Crosse, one
of the leading financial institutions
of western Whitman county, with re-
sources of $705,000. The young man
had been employed in the bank prior
to enlisting in the army and he was
reinstated upon his return and
promptly promoted to assistant cash
ier.

A Freak Spud.

J. H. Benjamin of Little Bear ridge
left a potato at The News office re-
Gently that was certainly freak, in
that it resembled a pigs head in ev-
cry respect. There were two growths
at each side for the ears, two eyes
perfectly located at either side of the
face and the long snout could hardly
have been more perfect. The throat
at the under side resembled that of
hog in every way. Mr.. Benjamin
had intended bringing it in last fall
when he dug his potatoes, but it be-
came mixed with the other potatoes
and he did not locate it until recently.
He saws it was still more perfect
when it was first dug.-Troy News.

SECRETARY LANE
BOOSTS AUTO USE
PLANS AUTO STAGE SYSTEMS
FOR SCENIC ROUTES IN WY
OMING AND MONTANA

Washington.-Sec Lane of
the Interior Department announced
this afternoon plan for stimulating
motor touring between three large
and popular national parks of the
west, which will in his opinion mark
the beginning of new epoch in
American travel. This project con-
templates the establishment of an au-
tomobile line from Denver, Colorado
to and through Rocky Mountain, Yel-
lowstone, and Glacier National Parks,
via Boulder and Loveland, Colorado;
I Cheyenne, Douglas, Caspar, Thermo-
polls, and Cody, Wyoming; and Liv-
ingston, Bozeman, Boulder, Townsend
Helena, and Choteau, Montana I'm
proved road conditions next year will
make it possible to change the route
so as to include several other i'm
portant cities in all of the states trav-
ersed.
The equipment to be used in this
service consists of large new touring
cars of seven and ten-passenger ca
pacity. The fleet is to be placed in
operation by Mr.. H. w. Child of Hele-
ma, Montana, and Mr.. Roe Emery, of
Denver, Colorado, who now operate
the transportation lines in Yellow
stone, Glacier, and Rocky Mountain
National Parks. In succeeding sea-
sons this service will be extended to
other national parks of the Pacific
northwest, California, and the south
west.
1t is Secretary Lanes belief that
the Federal Government ought to ac-
lively encourage travel to American
LnoJth a,-te, n,~J
less of whether or not they are in the
great national park system. In other
words, he believes that the National
Park Service, which is in more than
one sense the travel bureau of the
Federal Government, ought to per-
form the same service for the Ameri-
can public that the Swiss, French,
and other foreign government travel
bureaus accomplish for European re-
sorts. Cooperation to this end be-
tween the Interior Department and
the United States Railroad Admin
istration has resulted in marked
stimulation of railroad travel to the
national parks, and it is certain that
similar development would follow
enlightened cooperation between the
government and associations and in
dividuals who are zealously working
to improve motor highways and en-
courage private automobile travel
throughout the country.
Travel to the west by private auto
mobile increased at tremendous rate
prior to the war, and the continued
improvement of road conditions on
the main highways especially be-
tween the national parks, will result
in bringing the private automobile
traffic to phenomenal proportions.
Secretary Lane feels that the pri-
vate motor-car is going to be quite
as important a factor in American
tourist travel as the railroad facilities.
He, however, is encouraging the use
of every means to stimulate outdoor
living and the enjoyment of our great
natural resources for recreation,
health, and observation, in order that
the habit of using these resources
may be firmly ingrained in the Amer
lean people.

A MonstrOsity.

Mrs. Philip Strohm of American
ridge reports that she has a young
chicken with four legs, all perfectly
developed only that the extra two
are crossed over its back. This is
due no doubt to the fact that chick
en- has no more use for four legs
and feet than person would have
for that number. The chicken was
over a week old last Saturday and
was doing as nicely as any of the
others that were Matched at the same
time. It is attracting considerable
attention among the neighbors of that
vicinity.-Troy News.

MOSCOW MAN HEARD
CHIMES OF BR0GES
CONGRESSMAN FRENCH SLEPT
WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF LONG
FELLOWS NOTED BELLS

With this issue we publish the
twentieth and last letter written by
Congressman Burton L. French, for
The Star Mirror on what he saw and
heard and learned on his memorable
trip to Europe and through the war
zone. The letters have been filled
with interesting matter, told by a
Moscow man to his Moscow friends
in a plain, but intensely interesting
way. just as Mr.. French would tell
it were he talking to these friends in
Moscow. The work of preparing
these letters and sending them out
as series to his home paper was
no small task and The Star Mirror
and it's hundreds of readers thank
Mr.. French for the letters which have
been enjoyed so much.
This last letter is no less interest
ing than its predecessors. In it Mr..
French tells of spending the night
near the tower containing the
"Chimes of Broges" of which Long
fellow wrote, and he also tells of the
glorious work of Idaho's noble SOL
diers wherever they were stationed.
His letter follows:
LONDON, England, April II, 1919.
The Editor The Star-Mirror. Last
night we spent in Broges, Belgium,
made familiar to many American
children by Longfellow's poem, "The
Chimes of Broges." The bells that
ring out these beautiful notes every
fifteen minutes are in the tall tower
Of an old church that dates back to
the thirteenth century. We were but
two blocks away and the last sound
L r Ill i,
of the "Chimes of Broges."
l wish | could tell of all we saw
but time and your readers patience
will not permit. We drove from
Broges this morning to Ostende
where those of our party who came
on to London took our boat for
Dover. After leaving Broges we
visited one of the German submarine
bases below the city, looked over the
shelters, partly sunken submarine
boat, and other wreck of the war.
We then visited Zee Bruges, little
further on, and saw other wrecks,
four demolished German floating
docks, a sunken cruiser, shell town
buildings and at the lower end of
the canal as it leaves the harbor sun
ken English ships, which well nigh
block the harbor and whose sinking
was one of the brilliant feats of the
British navy This work wars not only
brilliant but important and cost the
lives of nearly a thousand English
lads. Twice as many more returned
from their task and all were voted
the honor of the Victorian Gross, and
the medals themselves were pinned
upon the few selected by the various
groups to receive the decoration for
all.
Ostende is a torn and battered city,
and here, too, the neck of the harbor
was filled by wrecked English ships,
sunk as a war measure to prevent
the harbor's use as German base.
The boat we took was a small one
"La Vile de Liege"-and by waiting
till the tide was full, was able to
slip out the harbor.
LONDON, April Is, 1919.-Since
the foregoing we have spent busy
days in London. We are out of the
war zone-almost, and yet, even here
we have seen the buildings that were
wrecked by bombs, hurled from the
sky. However, the damage is SO
slight it may be passed over.
But in London was determined the
