LEWISTON NORMAL
BILL PASSES HOUSE
PROVIDES APPROPRIATION OF
$150,00O FOR AN ADMINISTRA-
ITO NBUILDING

BOISE.-(Special to The Star-Mir-
ror. .)-The measure asking for an ap-
preparation of $150,000 to build an
administration building for the Lew
iston normal school was passed by the
house this morning. Morgan of Wash
lngton county made an attempt to
have all the school appropriations
voted upon together. He received no
support in this when Harrison of
Shoshone county explained the emer-
gency existing at Lewiston and at the
state university at Moscow. Only
Morgan and Baird voted against the
bill upon it's final passage.
The Clark county bill, which had
previously passed the senate was pas
sed by the house this morning. This
was only the third bill making the
rounds Of the two houses during the
twenty-one days that the legislature
has been in session.
The new primary bill is about ready
in joint committee, and will likely be
ready for introduction early next
week The bill will not change the
law so far as counties are concerned,
but provides for state conventions
for the nomination of state officers.
Five bills were introduced in the
house this morning during it's short
session. The most important one of
these call for county division cleo
tion for the purpose of creating Nam
pa county out of parts of Ada and
Owyhee counties. The senate held no
session today.

price reports from the entire area oc-
cupied by the Americans shows that
the prices current prior to the signing
of the armistice have remained sub-
stantially unchanged. Although GER
tain isolated individual cases have
been reported of attempts to over
charge American soldiers there has
been no general tendency among the
Germans to increase the prices on
goods in the stores. In some shops
in. Coblenz where prices have ad-
vanced since the Americans arrived
the merchants contend that this has
been necessary because of an increase
of from 20 to 40 per cent in the price

And to bear out their statements the
merchants show letters from factory
arrangements in Berlin and other
manufacturing points.
Coblenz has had as much difficulty
in procuring food supplies as any part
of the American arena, and yet outside
of serious shortage in some essentials
such as fats, the general feeling in
the city is one of hopefulness in re-

fulness extends only to this area, and

DIRECTOR GENERAL HINES ASKS
HUGE AMOUNT FOR RAILROADS

WASHINGTON railroad ad-
ministration needs $750,000,000 more
for its revolving fund to supplement
the $500, 100000 originally provided
and now virtually exhausted. In pre-
pairing this estimate for congress yes
terday Director General Hines ex-
planned that $196, 100000 of this sum
represents loss to the government, in
CURED in operations last year, and
the remainder represents advances to
railroad companies, to be repaid
eventually with interest
Congress will be asked Immediate
ly to appropriate this amount, which
Mr.. Hines declared would be neces-
sary regardless of whether the rail-
ways were returned to private man
agement within a few months or re-
tanned longer.
Huge Sum for Betterments.
The director general estimated that
$36S $4,000 would be required this
year to finance capital enterprises,
such as improvements and purchase
of cars and locomotives, which rail-
road companies are not able to fl
nance. without borrowing from the
government. This figure also in
cludes s12,840,0OO for contemplated
expenditures on inland waterways
and $20,000,000 to finance reorgani-
zation of the Boston & Maine.
For 1918 the demands accumulated
against the revolving fund included:
Additions and betterments financed
by the government, $3.50, 1000; cash
On hand employed as working capital,
for which railway companies must be
credited now and charged when gov
ernment control ends, $247, 100000;
other working capital in the shape of
conductors and agents balances,
loans made to companies with ma
terials and supplies as collateral, less
current liabilities on these accounts,
$91 ,952,000 loan to New York, New
Haven & Hartford, involving a re-
organization of finances, $51,475,0 900;
advances for inland waterways, all
but about 100000 representing in
vestment in boats and other property,
