FORESTRY SCHOOL
HAS NEW INSTRUCTOR
SUCCESSOR TO PROFESSOR
COOK HAS ARRIVED-IS A
MAN WELL QUALIFIED

Mr.. C. E. Behre, who succeeds Prof.
F. w. Cook, recently resigned to ac-
cept flattering offer from promin-
ent lumber company, has arrived to
take up his work as assistant profes
sor in the School of Forestry, Uni
versity of Idaho. Mr.. Behre is a
graduate of the Sheffield Scientific
School, Yale University, and holds
the degree of master of forestry from
the Yale forest school, graduating
with highest honors.
Mr.. Behre was for a time an assist
ant at the Yale School of Forestry,
but enlisted for overseas service in
the summer of 1917, where he was en-
gagged till July of this year with the
forest engineers, thus acquiring a
wide and first hand knowledge of
forest conditions in France He has
also had practical experience in the
forests of the west.
Prof. J. w. Tourney, director of the
Yale Forest School, in writing con-
cerning Mr.. Behre says: "He is in my
judgment, one of the very best of
the younger men who have graduated
from the Yale Forest School in re-
cent years. He is able, active,
splendid field man and has a splendid
education of back ground behind his
technical training in forestry
Prof. Cook retires from the School
of Forestry after several years of
splendid service, and carries with him
the very best wishes of all his as
sociates and students.

CHARGE MCDONALD
FAMILY WITH MURDER
TWO SONS AND TWO DAUGH-
TIERS OF FORMER WHITMAN
COUNTY JUDGE HELD

That two sons and two daughters
of William Mcdonald, at one time
judge of the superior court of Whit
man county brutally murdered w
H. McNutt, well known mining broker
of Spokane, and buried his body or
his, farm, is the charge made in Spo-
kane where McNutt lived and where
warrants for the arrest of the alleged
murderers were issued.
Fay Mcdonald, also known as Fay
Wilkinson, and her sister, Marie
were conducting lodging house al
Spokane. The house had been under
suspicion as a disorderly resort. Nc
Mutt had claim against Fay Nc
Donald and went to the lodging house
to collect it. That was the last time
he was seen alive. A few days after
his disappearance the Mcdonald wo-
men and their two brothers disap-
peared The house showed that great
haste had been used in abandoning it
and things were torn up and scattered
about as if packing had been done in
a hurry.
Some weeks later the outfit ap-
peared in southern California with
McNutt's fine automobile, for which
Fay Mcdonald held bill of sale. The
search for McNutt was continued, his
wife insisting that he had met with
foul play Today's Associated Press
dispatches tell of finding the body
and arresting the alleged murdererss
McNutt's Body is Found.
SPOKANE.-The body of w. H.
McNutt, Spokane broker, who myster-
iously disappeared last July, was
found today buried on ranch which
he owned in Pend Oreille county north
of here.
The hands and feet were tied and a
gunshot wound was found in his side,
according to officers who made the
discovery. A brush pile had been
burned over the spot where the body
was buried, evidently in an attempt
to conceal the location of the grave.
The information which led to the
discovery was furnished, the local
sheriff's office says, by detectives in
Los Angeles, who asked for warrants
for the arrest of Will, Ted, Fay and
Marie Mcdonald, brothers and sisters,
on a charge of murder. The warrants
were wired to Los Angeles tonight by
local authorities.
Two Women Arrested.
LOS ANGELES Mrs. May Wilk-
inson and Miss Jewel Mcdonald were
taken into custody here late tonight
on telegraphic warrant from Spo-
kane, charging them with numbering
William H. McNutt, a wealthy realty
operator of that city, June 23, last.
The two women arrested tonight
are held incommunicado in the city
Jail here.
Miss Mcdonald and her brother,
Ted Mcdonald, recently were arrested
here on a charge of having brought
a stolen automobile into the state. The
case was dismissed when the defend
ants produced a bill Of sale purport-
ing to. show that the machine had
been purchased from William McNutt,
the slain man.

ELKS RECEPTION
NOT A DRESS AFFAIR
AFFAIR AT ELKS TEMPLE To-
NIGHT TO BE INFORMAL
EVERYBODY. INVITED

81 would love to go to the Elks
reception tonight but | have no party
dress" said Moscow matron over
the telephone in conversation with
The Star Mirror. The woman was
assured that this is not fancy dress
goods show, but real, informal, Mos
COW spirit reception to the teachers
and others interested in educational
work, and welcome home' to Col.
and Mrs. E. R. Chrisman.
"Thank you," said the voice. 81
will be there and | will tell my neigh
bors. I know a number of men and
women who would love to attend and
meet the teachers but they have no
full dress suits or evening dresses and
would not go if they knew it was to
be full dress affair, which many
seem to think it will be. | think it
would be well to say in your paper
that full dress suits and party dresses
are not necessary to gain adnllttancf
s-AAd I believe you will cause many
persda2s to attend who would not at
tend otherwise"
The editor got into communication
with leaders of the movement and was
assured the reception is to be as
nearly informal as possible. There
is to be reception line at the en-
trance to the hall, and after that is
passed all formality ceases and every
one is to be "at home' If they do
not feel that way the Elks, who are
great entertainers, will call upon
each one and make him or her feel
perfectly at home.
''There will be some dress suits and
evening dresses there" said prom
inent Elk, "but the people wearing
them will feel more out of place than
those who wear every day clothing,
for the latter will predominant It
is certainly to be an informal affair
and every citizen of Moscow and his
wife and daughter has a special in
vitation to attend. The reception be-
gins at 8 o'clock There will be plenty
of entertainment and amusement
from that hour until midnight and
later. if the people want to tay."
The man Or woman who misses the
Elks reception tonight will miss one
of the greatest social events of the
year and also miss chance to meet
more of the educators of Moscow
than will probably ever be gathered
together on one occasion in Moscow
this school year.
Better come and have a good time.

Passing of the Buck.

Tourists say they saw a buck
deer weighing about 200pounds,
drown while trying to swim
across Maple lake, the other day.
another was found dead having
playfuliy jumped over preci-
pice, and still another had to be
killed because it would not keep
out of a vegetable garden and
insisted on eating everything in
sight. Down in some of the
lower counties of the state they
are so tame that they will eat
from ones hand. This looks
as if they were getting as plenti-
full as feas on a dog, and yet
when the limiting season opens
it will be said that the deer are
nearly extinct.-Wausau Pilot.
