CITY OFFICIALS AUTHORIZE
LIFTING QUARANTINE MONDAY

"It should be clearly understood
that the reason we are lifting or mod
flying the quarantine" stated City
Health Officer DR.. w. A. Adair, ''is
the improved condition of the com
munity with respect to influenza. Dur
ing the past week only three families
have been reported as having it. vi
these the patients in two are now en-
tirely we'll again.
''The cautions observed by the pub
lie should not be diminished in any
degree. Unless people are careful we
shall have return Of the plague in a
worse form than ever, as Portland and
many other cities are having it right
now"
Moscow will be an open town to-
morrow.
The influenza ban, except with
slight notifications, has been lifted
by the city officials.
Tomorrow morning for the first
time in several weeks, the wishes of
the local ministers will be granted
and they will hold services at the
usual hours.
On Monday the school board will
open the seventh and eighth grades,
and, if no spread of the disease oc-
ours through this move, other grades
will be opened the following week.
The change in the quarantine reg
ulations was decided upon at meet
ing held last night in the rooms of the
county council of defense, which was
attended by Chairman Parsons of the
defense council, Mayor Truitt, the
city and county health offers, and Dr..
Boyd, representing the city council
health committee.
A careful survey of the influenza
situation was made by those present.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-01-11

Only three cases had been reported
for the week, one Of them being from
Pullman. 1t was decided that as the
experiment in opening the high school
bad been entirely satisfactory, and as
the opening Of the university with the
return of many students from all over
the state had been effected without the
appearance of a single case of influ-
enza, the city could safely allow the
churches the privilege of public wor-
ship, provided only adults attended
the services for church and Sunday
school.
The university quarantine which has
confined students to the campus was
lifted this noon, and the students were
permitted to come down town to the
various stores, to do their delayed
shopping.
To the delight of their many pat
rons who have felt deprived of their
chief source of entertainment, the
picture shows will be opened Mon
day night. Certain restrictions as to
seating will be in force. Billiard
halls will also be open next week.
No student of the 7th or 9Th grade
or of the high school is permitted to
go to any public gatherings. Dances
are still under the ban.
"The influenza quarantine has cost
the city school district of Moscow"
stated President of the Board L. F.
Parsons, mot less than $4,000, con-
sidering the wages paid and the over
head expense. If we are able to do
SO, we shall keep the schools open
until July l, in order to make up at
least some of the time lost. We hope
that the opening of the seventh and
eighth grades will be so little attend
ed by an outbreak of the disease that
we may go ahead and gradually open
other grades, week by week"

FARMERS WEEK
NOW ABANDONED
WESTERN STATES UNITED IN
SURRENDERING PROGRAMS
FOR CURRENT YEAR

It will occasion disappointment to
good many people over the county
when they learn that, owing to the
danger of spreading influenza there
will be no sessions of the Farmers
and Home-makers' week scheduled
for next month.
This decision was reached last
evening by the faculty of the college
of agriculture which was assembled
to consider the text of a message of
Iddings, who is now in Washington,
wired the department that, due to in
fluenza, Minnesota, Iowa, Montana,
Oregon and Utah had all decided that
it would not pay to take the risk in
volved in assembling the public at
this time.
He stated that President Lindley
and Director Fluharty shared his
opinion that it would be well for the
state of Idaho to follow the example
of these states. The government will
not send out the famous men who had
been announced for various programs,
and it would have been impossible, in
that case, to make the sessions as
attractive to the public as they would
have been had all the noted speakers
been on the platform.
In commenting upon the matter,
county agent leader Kjosness said
that he still hoped that it would be
possible to hold in Moscow some time
toward the end of this month, the an
nual conference Of county agents and
extension workers from over the
state.
eff we do arrange for this very
meeting" said Mr.. Kjos-
ness, 1--WE shall, of course, observe
every precaution. We will admit no
one to the meetings except the agents
and extension workers."

HEALTH TESTS SHOW|
SPLENDID CONDITION
STUDENTS MAKE REMARK ABLE
RECORD IN EXAMINATION
BY DOCTORS

The results of the physical exam
ination of students in the university
are gratifying in the extreme. Only
one student, girl who came from
Spokane last night, shows any trace
of temperature enough above normal
to be regarded as a suspect.
The foregoing is the statement of
City Health Officer DR.. w. A. Adair,
who says that splendid system for
conducting the examination was
evolved by Mr.. Wodsedalek, which re-
suited in their disposing of more than
400 students in a signle half day.
The physicians who participated in
the examinations were DR.. Adair, DR..
Clarke, Dr. Rae, and DR.. Stevenson.
They were assisted by Mr.. Wodseda-
lex, Miss Blomquist, Miss Bernadine
Adair, and number of pre-medic
students.
In view of the fact that the student
body is comprised of persons who
have come here recently from the sur
rounding towns where influenza pre-
walls, the records of the physical test
are regarded as little short of
astounding

CONTRIBUTIONS
REPORTED At BANKS
METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL
WITHOUT MEETING GIVES SUM
OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS

By far the largest and most impos-
ing contribution so far made to the
Armenian and Syrian relief fund was
the free-will offering of the Methodist
church which was turned into the
fund today. Without holding meetings
and merely in response to some cards
and envelopes distributed among a
membership which has not been as
sembled for the past three months,
this large and very active organiza-
ton collected and turned in the sum
Of one hundred dollars to the pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. H. o. Perry, chairman
Of the drive.
The local banks report that yester-
day and today several persons have
been in to pay their voluntary contri-
buttons to this meritorious cause.
Ali OF the churches will be pre-
pared tomorrow to receive any dona-
tions to the fund.

MOSCOW CITIZEN
MAY Be APPOINTED
DIR. J. D. ADAMS LIKELY TO BE
NAMED STATE VETERINARIAN
BY GOVERNOR

BOISE.-The entire livestock sani-
tary board resigned this morning.
The reasons were given in letter
relative to the appointment of the
state veterinarian, matter which is
coming up at once. Likely choices
for state veterinarian are DIR. Hender-
son of Idaho Falls, DR.. J. D. Adams
of Moscow, or DR.. Sullivan, the hog
cholera expert, from Twin Falls. It
is believed that DIR. Adams will get
the place.
Two resolutions were introduced
during a brief session Of the house
this morning. One was for big pro-
gram to furnish work for soldiers
and sailors. 1t was from the typo
graphical union of Boise and stated
that the return of the soldiers threat
ems industrial depression, urge that
former positions be given to all the
men, and then asked for a building
program of state and county roads
and public buildings.
The second resolution was from
Ada county council of defense and
asked for jobs for the men from Ada
county. This was considered to be
a sort of forerunner of the bill which
will provide for the completion of
the state capitol.
House bill number one providing for
the appropriating of $4,000 for the
expenses of the session was passed
by the senate yesterday and signed
by the governor this morning. This
is the first completed piece of work
of the 18th session.
The house adjourned until II a. m.
on Monday. There was no session
of the senate today.

OFFICIAL
IMPROVES SYSTEM
JUDGE NELSON MAKES FINDING
OF ESTATE RECORD MUCH
EASIER

Among the popular county officials
who have given the people of Latah
most satisfactory period of service
is Judge Adrian Nelson, of the pro-
bate court.
That Judge Adrian Nelson of the
probate court proposes to give effici-
ent service during his term of office
is indicated by the interest he mani
tests in conducting his office. In or
der to give more prompt and effici-
ent service, Mr.. Nelson has changed
in many details the method employed
in the past in carrying on the work,
accomplishing saving of time and ac-
curacy of information. He has re-
indexed every estate in probate filed
in the office since the organization of
the county. The old system used was
the letter system of indexing, estates
being filed under the initial letters of
the alphabet, making it most diff
cult, as the number of estates multi
piled, to ascertain their location. In
place of this every estate has been
numbered successfully from number
one and by referring to the index
for the name of the estate the number
under which a given estate is filed is
found and the number of the filing
case instantly located.
No register of action of estates was
carried until 1896 and in order to ac-
complish the reindexing it was neces-
sary to search the probate minutes
and up till 1896. Judge Nelson has
now at hand a ready index covering
the period September 6, 1883 to 1895.
Since September 6, 1888 to the pres
ent time the record shows that 1864
estates have been handled. The num-
erical system has been adopted also
in the handling of civil and criminal
actions and reindexing of those files
has also been done.
Mr.. Nelson rounds out today a
continuous service at the court house
If more than sixteen years. In that
period he has had only one vacation,
namely in 1910 when he went as dele
gate to a synodical meeting of the
Synod at Rock Island, ILL.,
He has served the county in an ap-
,ointive capacity until April 1917,
when he was appointed probate judge,
IN elective office. At the time of his
he served as deputy
.lerk of the district court and retained
hat position in addition to his office
# probate Judge At the last cleo
ion he was elected probate judge and
will also fill by appointment the of
ice of deputy clerk of court for the
nsuing term of two years, commenc-
ng Monday, January 18th.
Judge Nelson feels very grateful to |
he people of Latah county for the
magnificent vote given him at the
lection in November last by the
'eople of this county, and he does
ot wish to seem ungrateful when
e expresses himself in favor of the
bolishment of the probate court in
he interest of greater economy and
he adoption of the superior court
ystem. This change can be brought
bout only through the submission of
constitutional amendment to be
oted on by the electors of the state.
uch amendment was submitted some
ears ago and carried by large ma
ority, the supreme court of the state
olding that the amendment had been
Improperly submitted and thus de-
eating the wish of the people.
