MARK P. MILLER
APPROVES NEW LAW
WELL-KNOWN GRAIN MAN OF
MOSCOW THINKS NEW LAW
PROTECTS FARMERS

Mark P Miller of the Mark p Mill
er Milling company. was asked how
the new law affects shipments of
grain out of any warehouse or elev-
ator of which Miles Cannon of Weiser
is appointed by Governor Davis on
this commission AS I understand it
the law provides no shipment of grain
shall be made from warehouse or elev-
ator until actually purchased from
the farmer or holder of receipts.
Our opinion is that this law is ABB
solutely right and that there never
should be grain shipped from ware
house until sold. The farmer is al
ways in better position to sell his
grain if he can make delivery direct
from point of storing actual grain if
in flat warehouse or it's grade if in
elevator. When conditions get down
to normal the farmer will hold his
grain as before more or less through
the year and during that time there
may be many things come up that
would be to his advantage to have the
grain to deliver at the warehouse
where stored. Nearly always there is
some advantage in being able to make
delivery to any point named.
If the grain is shipped out to some
one terminal and stored the farmer
has lost all chance of selling to any
one but the owner of the warehouse
or elevator where the grain was stor-
ed. And in turn the elevator is at
the mercy of that terminal. Again If
the farmers grain is shipped before
being bought he has lost all chance
of any competitive buying for the rea-
son he can't deliver and when com
petitive buyers know this they are
out of his market.

SURVEYING PARTY GONE TO
PIERCE DISTRICT TO MAP OUT
LINE OF ROAD

LEWISTON.-Yes morning a
crew of railroad surveyors left Greer
for the Pierce section and are presum-
ably in the employ of the Weyerhous-
er timber syndicate. This information
was brought to the city yesterday by
James Mccullough who with Mrs. Nc
Cullough arrived from their home at
Fraser to visit here for two weeks
with their daughter.
Mr.. Mccullough, who is pioneer
of the Fraser section, where he owns
valuable farm lands, is noting with

to indicate an early opening OF the
vast Clearwater timber belt
eve are still experiencing consid-
cradle winter weather in the Fraser

snow, and farmers are still required
to feed. Farther back in the Pierce
district there is still a great deal OF
snow Hay has brought S25 a ton IN
the barn in the Fraser section.
While we have been experiencing
good deal of late winter" continued
Mr. Mccullough, 'tyet we have ex-

AMERICANS KILL
MANY BOLSHEV|STS
REDS REPORTED TO HAVE LOST
500 IN KILLED-ALLIES'
LOSSES LIGHT

ARCHANGEL, Thursday-(By the
Associated Press. )-Compared to the
losses inflicted upon the enemy, alliec
casualties in fighting along the Wage
river since February % have been ex-
tremely light. 1t is estimated the
bolsheviki have lost at least SOC
killed.
American casualties from Febru-
ary 28 to March g., inclusive, were
five killed on the Vaga front and 1C
on the Dvina front. No officers were
killed. One American soldier is miss
ing and two officers and 80 men were
wounded The total American cas-
ualties to date in north Russia
follow:
Killed in action: Officers, 4; men,
Died of wounds: Officers, /; men,
18.
Missing: Men, &c.
Died of diseases: Officers, 2; men,
81.
Wounded: Officers, IL; men, 241.
The health of the expeditionary
forces since the Spanish influenza
epidemic in September and October
has been excellent. Of the SO deaths
from disease, SO occurred before Jan
uary 4.
Throughout the fighting American
troops have generally been greatly
outnumbered, but losses inflicted upon
the enemy have been at least five
times those suffered by the Ameri-
cans. AS the newly mobilized Rus
sian troops are becoming trained,
they are gradually relieving the strain
to which the American, British and
French forces were put in the early
days of the campaign. All American
troops are now enjoying regular rest
periods, either at Archangel or at
convenient villages behind the lines.

SPEND NEARLY ONE
MILLION ON ROAD
IDAHO'S GREAT SCENIC HIGHWAY
TO GET ENORMOUS SUM
FOR BUILDING

BOISE.-Idaho will have one of the
scenic wonder roads of the west when
the north and south highway, upon
which construction work is to start
this summer, under decision reach
ed by the state highway commission
Tuesday, is opened to permit traffic
between Grangeville and New Mead
owS.
The worst section of the road be-
tween New Meadows and Whitebird
will be improved at an estimated cost
of $650,000. and will constitute the
first authorized expenditure under the
recent $1,850,000 appropriation made
by the state for road improvement.
This amount will make available for
use upon the roads of Idaho in the
next biennium something more than
s6,000.000. when the state, county
and federal funds are all consid-
cred.
Section to Cost $2S0,00O.
The section of the highway between
Whitebird and Grangeville is already
under construction, at cost for COM
pletion estimated at $280,000, which
most 81 100000 for the highway. This
will not complete the work on certain
sections to state highway specifica-
tions, but will make the road traversi-
BILE and open a hitherto almost mac
cessible part of the state to public
travel
Three miles of the new construction
at Freedom hill will cost about $4O,-
900 per mile. This work involves some
tunnels, and is almost entirely in SOL
id rock in a preciptious box canyon.
The highway will be open every day
in the year, the worst winter condl-
tions along the line being encountered
at New Meadows.
According to State Highway Engi-
neer H. G. Allen, this route is the
only feasible one for hundreds of miles
east and west of the selected route
which will permit all-year travel. 1t
will open up some of the finest hunt
ing and fishing sections of the state.
Excellent camping facilities are af-
forded by the frequent running
streams along the way.
One Contractor Takes All.
1t is understood that the board OF
highway commissioners who Tuesday
completed their work, to be suppressed
ed by the new board. approved the
policy of granting the entire construc-
ton work to single contractor
Three months are expected to elapse
before preliminary work incident to
securing federal appropriations is
completed, and actual construction is
expected to begin some time in August
or early September

NEW BILL HELPS TO
IMPROVE STREETS
HOUSE BILL, 225 BY HUGO, WILL
=. AID MANY TOWNS TO MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS

House bill 225, which became law
at the last session of the Idaho legis-
lature. was introduced by G. J. Hugo,
of Moscow, and is of special interest
to municipalities of the state, in that
it provides for continued or added
improvements in bonded districts of
municipality before the bonds
against the district are paid.
The bill amends sections 16, rs and
86 of CHAPTER 152 of the compiled
laws of Idaho and permits street i'm
provements to be made in bonded dis
tricts. the cost of these improvements
to become a second lien or debt
against the property in the district.
Under the old law if city or dis
trict in city or town or municipal
itv made improvements for which
bonds were issued it was prohibited
from making additional improve
ments until those bonds were paid.
Thus if a district issued bonds for
grading a street, building sidewalks,
or any improvements it was prohibit
ed from paving or adding to the I'M
provement during the life OF the
bonds.
The new bill provides that added
improvements may be made and new
bonds issued and they become a sub
sequent lien on the property OF the
district. Thus if a district were form
ed and the streets graded and gut
tered and sidewalks built or grades
established and bonds issued for the
cost of these improvements, and 1t
was later desired to pave the streets
or otherwise improve them this could
be done and a new issue of bonds
could be voted and they would be a
subsequent lien.
The amended law will enable many
municipalities to carry on improve
ments that are planned. It is believ-
ed that several streets in Moscow
may now be paved and the paving
on other streets extended. The
changed law was asked for by many
municipalities that desired to carry
on further improvements but were
prohibited from doing so under the
old law

was rendered to the present incum-
bent, J. H. Rich. Mr.. Rich has been
connected with the Moscow schools
during the past five years. He was
first employed as principal of the
high school. Upon the resignation of
former Superintendent Henry, the
board rendered him the position of
superintendent, which he has filled
during the past two years to the sat
isfaction of the board, the patrons
and the students.
Owing to the fact that the second
semester is to be short one, and that
there is uncertainty as to the ability
to be able to keep the schools open,
owing to the influenza situation, the
board voted not to permit an enter
ing class in the primary department.

RID OF WARY THIEF

The sentencing of Fred Bussino oe
Mount Holly to the House of Correction
for not less than two and not more than
five years has, the officials Of the county
believe, rid the section of one of the most
dangerous sneak thieves appearing in the
district in many years. He pleaded guilty
to burglary of a home in Mount Holly.
in county court two weeks ago. 1t is now
understood that the State will present
before the grand jury which meets in
September of this year, evidence which
will tend to show that Mr.. Bussino was
responsible for the burning of the Spear
home in the town of Mount Holly and
1t was established beyond question that
he stole from several persons. residents
of the town OF Mount Holly. In some in
lance he took parts from farm machinery
in the fields while the men were at din.
ner or during the night and In other
instances he broke into houses. The attic
of his home. when searched by the Of
fcers, disclosed many of these stolen
articles. including household goods from
the Perkins home, which he admitted
breaking into and also from the Spear
home which the authorities believe was
burned to destroy evidence of the
burglary.
