MAY MAKE MEXICO
A BOOZE EMPORIUM
OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBOR BE-
COMING POPULAR FOR
LIQUOR LOVERS

LAREDO, Texas.-Whether Mexican
cities along the border will become
bases for international drinkers"
when America adopts prohibition in
July has not been determined, de-
spite some leanings in this direction.
A movement recently was started
to have passport restrictions remov-
ed, throw open the international
bridge and run weekend excursion
trains into Mexico. It was proposed
to establish big gambling houses,
cockpits, bull-rings and pretentious
drinking empOriums. A m lean
business men vigorously protested on
the ground that the trains passing
through American towns would bring
only a reputation for lawlessness.
t The Mexican government has not
indicated it's attitude in the matter
and seems disposed to let the liquor
problem solve itself Local officials
deny their citizens profits that Amer
fcan prohibition might bring.
Mexican cantineros have thrived in
1.-THE year that Texas cities have been
dry under the Texas military zone
law. Passport regulations permit per-
sons living within ten miles of the
border to pass from one country to
the other on a local permit. Many
American residents visit Mexican
towns daily to obtain drink. Ameri-
|can authorities have prevented snug
Cling of liquor into the United States.
Medical authorities predict. that un-
restricted border traffic would have
a serious effect on the army's cam
paign against disease.
All suspicious visitors from Mexico
are searched by customs officers for
contraband liquor. AS a result OF
this strict supervision, mezcal,
highly intoxicating Mexican drink
that formerly sold for so cents
quart. now brings $40 a quart here
when obtainab1e from Illegal dealers.

FORESTRY STUDENTS
HEAR GOOD LECTURE
PROFESSOR GILLIS TELLS THEM
OF FORESTRY IN THE PHIL
IPPINE ISLANDS

Professor ]. R. Gillis, professor of
forestry in the Philippine University
addressed the Forest Club of the Uni
versity of Idaho at it's meeting in
Kappa Sigma house last night on for
estry in the Philippine Islands. The
university of the islands is divided
into two parts, the university proper
being located at Manila, while the ag-
|ricultural college and school of for
|estry are situated at Los Banos, some
40 miles distant The attendance at
the two units of the university is nor
mally about 1900.
+ The islands, Prof. Gillis stated, are
abundantly timbered, the forests con
sisting of a very large number of
species, many of which have high
technical value. American logging
and saw mill equipment and methods
are being introduced, and numbering
is already one of the leading indus
tries of the islands. China affords
the principal market for the lumber
output.
The government supports an effic-
ient forest service, of which the
school of forestry is an integral part.
The school has faculty of several
members and a student body num-
bering about so.

BOISE.-Idaho has fired the first
gun in the fifth Liberty loan campaign.
This was done at a conference of
county Liberty loan chairmen, held
with Monte B. Gwinn, state chairman.
The county representatives came to
the meeting in a pessimistic attitude.
They left filled with enthusiasm and
confident that Idaho will be over the
top with more than it's subscription.
There were chairmen present from
40 of the As counties. They were
addressed by Chairman Gwinn, Uni
ted States Senator John F. Nugent,
State Commissioner of Education DR..
N. A. Bryan, Rev. Willsie Martin, the

Der. of soldiers who saw service IN

drive to officers, and soldiers who
have been in the service of their
csuntry, so far as the speaking is
concerned. 1t is believed they can
put the loan over without difficulty
and their pleas for financial assist
ance for the government will be
needed where others would not be.

MAYOR TRU|TT---CLERK STRONG
REN0M|NATED BY VOTERS

"Well done, thou good and faith
full servant" is the message carried
by the voters of Moscow to Mayor
Truitt and City Clerk Strong in the
convention held in the court house
last night when both were renomin-
ated for another term, the former by
a big majority, which was afterward
made unanimous, ard the. latter by
reclamation. The convention held in
the county court house last night was
representative one, the court room
being comfortably filled and several
of those who attended stated that it
was the most representative conven-
tion held for nominating city officers
In several years and the ythought it
indicates increased interest in muni-
cipal affairs. There were Sc dele
gates present from the three wards,
% from the First, IA from the Sec
ond and 20 from the Third ward.
"One good term deserves another %
was the verdict of the convention in
regard to Mayor Truitt, who has serv-
ed one term to the evident satisfaction
of the voters, whose duly elected dele
gates asked him to continue in office
another term, and Judge Truitt accept
ed the invitation in a speech full of
feeling and candor. AS for Judge
Strong, who has served so faithfully
as city clerk for the past II years,
the convention merely handed him the
by acclamation, no one
else being mentioned.
Frank L. White, one of Moscew's
most popular and progressive citizens,
was placed in nomination for mayor
by George Horton, who told of Mr..

Whites long residence here, his many
sterling qualities and the fact that he
had served as mayor before and his
administration had been one of the
best in the history of the city. Judge
Forney nominated Judge Truitt in a
neat speech in which he reviewed the
work that has been accomplished dur
dng the present administration of
Judge Truitt and urged that he be
permitted to complete this important
work with which he Is more familiar
than any other man. The chair ap-
pointed L. F. Parsons, Ray Carter and
A. S. Lyons as tellers. These took
the ballots which, when counted by
Mr.. Carter, gave Judge Truitt 33 votes

IRA A. HAWLEY NOT
IN UNITED STATES
-ADJUTANT GENERAL HARRIS Err.
RED IN REPORTING HIS RE-
TURN ON FEB. 22

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Ira A. Hawley, Of Mos
COW, deepens. All hope that he was
alive had been abandoned some
months ago, only to be revived by a
telegram from Adjutant General Har-
ris to Mrs. Hawley stating that he
had arrived in the United States on
February %. This telegram was re-
ceived several weeks ago and revived
hope in the hearts of his family and
friends, who began a diligent inquiry
to get at the facts, but failed to get
any tangible evidence that he is alive.
Now comes letter from Adjutant
General Harris stating that his for
mer message was an error; that Mr..
Hawley had not returned to the United
States and that he was reported "miss-
ing in action" on May %, 1918, the last
date on which anything was heard
from him. The letter to Mrs. Hawley
follows:
Washington, D. c., April 5, 1919.

from the adjutant general, 1 deeply
