HARRY WHITTIER
BUYS MORE LAND
MOSCOW BANKER AND BROTHER
NOW INTERESTED IN VALU-
ABLE HOLDINGS

Harry Whittier and his brother,
Robert, have acquired another 100
acres adjoining their 1900 acre farm
three miles from Cotton, in Whitman
county, Washington. They bought
the Simmons quarter section, which
gives them 1860 acres of as fine land
as can be found anywhere. The
brothers started several years ago by
acquiring the Ferguson farm, one of
the best in that splendid farming sec
ton. Later they acquired the school
section and now have added the Sim
mons quarter.
Harry Whittier is cashier of the
Moscow State Bank, has lived in this
country many years, is a close student
of conditions and believes that Pa
louse land values will go much higher
and at the same time will yield good
interest on the investment. He has
bought the John Martinson farm OF
160 acres, seven miles rorth of Gen
esee and near the Ben Bush farm of
280 acres which he bought last week.
The price paid in both OF these trans
fers is not made public This gives
Mr.. Whittier large body of fine land
in the Genesee neighborhood in addi-
tion to his other holdings in Latah
county.

HAVE INTERESTING CON-

For the first time since the insti-

1914, the University of Idaho under
class supremacy rests in freshman
hands, the class of 1928 having
trounced its campus wise rivals by a
score of 35 to 20 in the annual con-
test held yesterday afternoon.
Perhaps the feature of the after
noon was bitterly contested tug-of

freshmen. The losing sophomores

University of Idaho have been smash
ed this year. Dean Eldridge an
nounces an increase of 70 per cent.
over the figures of 1917, the last

the greatst increase-3OO per cent
with the school of mines second with
100 per cent and the engineering de-
partment third, with 95 per cent in
crease. The following statement was
issued by the university today:
Figures submitted this morning by
DR.. J. G. Eldridge, dean of the Uni
versity of Idaho faculty, show that
the university's student population is
approximately 70 per cent larger this
fall than it was in 1917, the last
normal year for institutions of higher
education in the northwest.
In the school of forestry, the enroll
ment has almost trebled and the
school of mines enrolment has more
than doubled. The engineering de-
partment in crease is 95 per cent.
Men students registered outnumber
the coed coterie by ratio of ap-
two to one.

That the north Idaho tuberculosis

Clark was a millionaire and with his

southern California. Mrs. Clark
started for Spokane. Her husband

since. 1t has always been supposed

HEAVY FROST HERE
LAST SUNDAY NIGHT
JACK RETURNED ON SUNDAY
NIGHT TO COMPLETE WORK
STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO

The weather man made good on his
promise Saturday for "heavy frosts
in north Idaho Sunday night" The
hardest frost of the season came as
scheduled and it completed most of
the work left unfinished by the hard
frost of September 21. The former
frost killed much vegetation in this
tsection, but left that ON the higher
attitudes. The frost of Sunday night
finished the killing of vegetation on
the lower levels and went little
higher up on the hills than its prede-
cessor. But much corn, potatoes,
beans and sunflowers were left un-
hurt by Sunday nights frost, when ice
formed az thick as window glass in
low places. On the slopes of Moscow
mountain corn, beans and other tender
vegetation, usually killed by the first
frost, is unhurt Many beans planted
last spring failed to come up until the
first fall rains and are now in bloom
or covered with fine String beans
just right for table use.
Much corn also failed to come up
because the ground was so dry, but
it came up when the rains came in
August and is now from 12 to 20
inches high. On several farms near
the mountain corn and beans are
green and fresh today, having been
untouched by Sunday nights frost.
That the frost was general through
out the Inland Empire is shown by
the following story in Spokane
daily paper published Monday:
