DRIVEN BOLSHENIKI OUT
or TOWN NEAR ARCHANGEL

Archangcl. Thursday, April 17.-CBy
the Associated Press. The bolshevi-
k have evacuated the town Of Bolshie
Czerki, according to peasants who fled
to the allied lines Yesterday The en-
cmy evidently was driven out by the
constant shellmg to which the Russo.
allied artillery has been subjectng the
town during the last two weeks, finally
making it mtcnable. The bolshevilli
are reported to have established posi-.
uons i'm the woods nearby.
This bombardmcnt. together with "a
shortage of supplies due to the thaw
ing roads leading south from Bolshie
Czcrk is seriously impawing the NOR.
ale of the bolsheyiki, who are reported
tu be without reserve provisions. The
peasants reported 70 the troops desired
to leave the front but that the com
munist officers were holding them i'm
place with machine guns posted along
the road i'm their rear.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY
DISTRICT ASKED
VARD-PRINCETON DISTRICT
PETITION FILED WITH COM
MISSIONERS TODAY

Another petition for highway dis
trict in Latah county was filed with
the county commissioners today by
Scott Ogden, attorney for the petit
tioners. This asks that a highway
district be formed of Harvard, Prince
ton and adjoining territory, taking
in all of the country between the Pot
latch and Bovill districts and extend
ing to the boundary line between
Benewah and Latah counties. The
petition was brought to Moscow by
L. L. Young, of Princeton, and J. D..
Morrissey, of Harvard. 1t is signed
by large majority of the land own
ers in the proposed district. This
makes eight highway districts in
Latah county for which petitions have
been filed and elections have been
held in four of them, every one carry
ing by an overwhelming majority.
Another petition was filed for an
addition to the Potlatch highway dis
trict, taking in a strip two miles wide
on the east side of the district and
including the town of Onaway. Both
petitions will be heard by the county
commissioners when they meet on
April 2.
By the middle of April it is hoped
to have several Of the road and high
way district formed and work started
on the various roads The general
plan is to have the various districts
work in harmony and build net work
of good roads throughout the district
with trunk lines leading to the trad
ing centers and laterals connecting
the farms with the trunk lines. 1t is
hoped to have the trunk lines hard
surfaced and the laterals either hard
surfaced or graded and sanded now
to be covered with a hard surface
later When work starts there will be
a heavy demand for labor and men
and teams and trucks will be needed.

MOSCOW SELLS ITS
SEWER BONDS At "a
EXTENSION AND SEPTIC TANK
ASSURED FOR EARLY THIS
SUMMER is BELIEF

Moscow has contracted its sewer
extension bonds to Ferris & Hard
grove. of Spokane, at "a. The amount
of the issue cannot be determined
now, but it is expected to be about
100000. 1t is thought the sewer ex-
tension work will cost from 100000
to $65,OOO and that at least SO per
cent of this will be paid in cash by
the property owners. The work is
to be done by day labor under the
supervision of the city engineer and
foremen, and will not be let by the
contract.
A special meeting of the council
last night devised ways and means
for carrying on the work and fixing
an equitable assessment. AS the city
as a whole is to be benefited there
will be no sewer districts but the
cost of constructing the sewer will be
paid by all property owners. The
council has worked out a plan for
taxing the costs against the prop
erty owners of the city and it can
run in payments under bonds or prop
erty owners can pay cash when the
work is completed. Past experience
has been that fully half of the tax
is paid in cash, which will mean a
bond issue of from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is hoped to begin work in April
and rush it through before the hot
weather A septic tank and extern
sion of the sewer system between
half mile and a mile are part of
the new system. The outlet of the
sewer is just below town on Paradise
creek and property owners along this
creek just below the outlet are threat
ening to bring suit against the city if
the nuisance is not abated. Owing to
the high cost of labor and material
the work, which was planned for last
year, was not done because no con-
tractor would bid on it. The city
appropriated $4,000 for the work
and no contractor would agree to do
the work for that sum. With the re-
duction in the cost of labor and ma
terial since the close of the war it is
believed the work can now be done
for 100000, thus making a saving of
$4,000 from the estimate made last
year and which contractors regarded
as too low.

us. We are proud of such a neighbo1
and we hope to welcome her here
again.
All who heard Mrs. Albert surely
felt that her reading ought to be only
the first of a continuous and expand
ing series of good drama to make its
appearance in Moscow. The town that
boasts of the presence of the univer-
sity of the state should furnish the
best attainable in the way of dra-
matte entertainment for the youth of
the state entrusted to the care of this
community. We can have whatever
we deserve and work for. If we care
to work as Mrs. Albert and her
friends are working in Spokane by
the help of an organization of cen
ter4of the Drama League, and by the
cordial cooperation of the town and
the university, we can have here in
Moscow-the best there is in Ameri-
can drama. Don't we need this for
the, proper entertainment of our
young folks and for the proper re-
freshment of those of US who are
older?
G. M. MILLER.
Rev. Bridges Opinion.
Sarah TruaX'S program was really
unusual entertainment. But it was
more than entertainment, 1T had a
unique educational value. No amount
of study of the mechanic and struc-
ture of literature necessary as such
study is) can interpret the real life
and intention of poem or drama
in such a way as direct artistic pre-
sentation can. Mrs. Truax carried US
bodily to other scenes and brought
us face to face with the realities seen
and heard by her authors. We pay
her no idle compliment when we say
that we forgot the art and the artist
in complete ABSORPTION in the SUBJ
ject she presented. We enjoyed
live contact with real literature. Such
a service can only be rendered by an
artist who has mastered the technique
of expression. We appreciate the
wonderful flexibility of Miss Truax's
voice, its sweetness of tone, the rich
variety of manner she displays and
those indescribable touches in ges-
ture, pose, facial expression, which
create the atmosphere and make us
forget who or where we are.
Personally, (and 1 am asked to write
this paragraph personality would
like to see more use made in our
schools and colleges of the interpre-
tive artist. l believe literature would |
mean great deal more if We relied |
more upon art as an interpreter,
and less upon technical text books. |
We need both but we need great |
1eal more of art than we are getting.

CONTRIBUTION BOX

How Mrs. Truax's work is viewed
by competent critics is shown by the
following statements from DIR. G. NJ.
Miller, head of the English depart
ment and Rev. W. H. Bridge, also
of the department of English. Their
statements follow:
AS Viewed by Dr. Miller.
In her dramatic reading at the uni
versity ''Y" today, Sarah Truax made
the large audience understand why
she was the most popular of the
younger American actresses when
she left the stage. Her beautiful
voice, her distinct enunciation, her
attractive yet commanding presence,
her versatility in the rendition of diff
ferent characters, her evident liking
for her audience-all this made her
a delight to all those who were for
tunate enough to hear her. Her pro-
gram of readings was intelligently
chosen, chosen for the particular au-
dience. The two plays and the four
poems complimented us by the as
sumption that we could like and ap
preciate good things. Alfred Noyes,
Dunsany and Vachel Lindsay may be
caviare to the general, but at Idaho
we like such "caviare"! Mrs. AL
bert's reading of "Rada" and "a
Night at an Inn" and the intent way
in which the whole audience hung on
every word go to prove again-what
ought not to need proof play
can have fine literary value and yet
hold the audience for it's dramatic
quality. The best is none too good
for us and we are grateful to Sarah
Truax for proving it to US. We want
such things in Moscow as she gives

CHURCHES TO HAVE
SERVICES SUNDAY

We had fifty-one cases last week
in Moscow, besides several cases just
outside the city. With the exception
of one family the new cases yester-
day were in the homes that were al
ready quarantined. In six instances
both parents are down and most if
not all the children. In a dozen or
more of the homes there is one or
the other of the parents down. Most
Of the cases are doing well but the
danger is not over of the epidemic
becoming severe. Two children died
this week east of town in the Lin
vile district. The university is still
free from the disease. Churches will
be permitted to hold services by seat
ing in alternate rows, and Sunday
school for adults only.
