.M0sCOW'S
DRAMATIC EFFORTS
SPOKANE EDITORIAL WRITER
SAYS GOOD WORD FOR PROF.
MILLER'S WORK

Under the heading Moscow Fosters
Good Drama" DR.. F. P. Noble, special
editorial writer for The Spokesman
Review, has the following to say of
the work of Professor G. M Miller,
head of the department of English in
the University of Idaho, in trying to
organize dramatic association here.
DR.. Mobiles article follows:
A year or more ago Professor Miller
of the University of Idaho started a
movement for the presentation of
good drama to the communities of the
Inland Empire. His idea was that
the faculty folk at the state univer-
sites of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
Washington and at such colleges as
Whitman and at such normal schools
as Cheney could become the sponsors
and centers around which superior
companies from the east could rally
and present good comedies and TRACE
dies.
The proposal was favorably received
at Spokane, Seattle and Portland, the
Eatrical managers pledging support but
nothing practical seems to have re-
suited until recently. Perhaps the war
made action impossible. Now, how
ever, the project appears to be as
suming visible shape. Yet it appar-
emily differs somewhat from Profess
or Miller's original proposal.
Citizens of Moscow began on No
vember 18 to present plays, the
twelfth of which will be given about
the end. of next April Persons who
read and act effectively are cast for
the dramatic characters represented,
and the actors appear with playbook
in hand, thus escaping the obligation
to pay royalty. The outcome of the
experiment will be waited with in
terest. Should success be attained,
other communities may be expected to
emulate the example

doubt that the organization viii be
formed and will be a success.

RAILROAD STRIKE
ENDED EARLY TODAY
WALKOUT OF EMPLOYEES AT
KANSAS CITY, DECLARED
ILLEGAL, BROKEN DOWN

KANSAS CITY.-By A. P-The
strike of railway switchmen here
which began Saturday, was called
off by the strikers early today.
This action followed vote at a
massmeeting of strikers which lasted
until far into the night. The strikers
will return to work this morning.
The first indication that the strike
was ended came when a delegation OF
strikers appeared at the office OF
w. M. Corbett, general manager of
the Kansas City Terminal Railroad
men had voted to go back to work.
WalkOut Unauthorized"
Ending of the switchmen's strike,
it was said greatly will relieve the Sc
rious situation confronting the city
because of the fuel famine, due to the
coal miners strike.
Whether requests made by city of
ficials for federal troops to be used
in connection with the strike will be
recinded could not be learned early
today.
The strike had been termed ''unau-
thorized" by national officers of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and representative of the national
officers attended the strike meeting
and counseled the men to return to
work.
1t was understood tonight that G..
w. Anderson of Cleveland, one of the
vice presidents of the Brotherhood of
Railway trainmen addressed the
strikers and he is said to have told
the men that they might not expect
protection or benefits from the ma
tional organization because the strike
was unauthorized
No freight service was attempted
in the terminal yards today, but it
was stated passenger train service
was not badly impaired, all of the
railroads having emergency crews
for that purpose.

kilograms urging that federal
troops be sent to Kansas City by
tomorrow morning if possible" were
sent today to Governor Frederick D.
Gardner of Missouri and Governor
Henry j. Allen of Kansas by the
mayors of both Kansas cities
The messages were sent in compE-
ance with a resolution unanimously
adopted at a massmeeting today. 1t
was explained that the two cities were
out of coal and that as a
result of the switchmen's strike
chances for moving additional coal
were slender.
Authority to Call Out Guard
Authority to call out state troops
whenever necessary in connection
with the strike of trainmen and yard

upon Adjutant General Clark of Mis-

CORN ACREAGE IN
IDAHO |NCLEAsED
STUDENT HAS
WRITTEN INTERESTING AR
TICLE ON CORN GROWING
(By E. M. Dworak.) }

Corn acreage in the state of Idaho
has increased from 5000 to $4,000
acres in the last five years. This, ac-
cording to a statement recently made
by Professor H. w. Hubert of the
University of Idaho, is the greatest
percentage of increase shown by any
state of the northwest for like
period.
| To obtain a variety of corn which
would mature and also yield well is a
problem which the university farm
crops department has been working on
for the last several years. A breeding
plot for this purpose has been main
tained and variety has at last been
propagated which seems to have the
desoired characteristics. In the past
farmers have encountered much diff
ficulty in obtaining a variety of corn
which would mature in the short grow
ing period common to this section of
the country. The growth was retard-
ed by the cool nights, and often the
frosts of late spring or early fall kill
ed the corn plants.
The Idaho Rustler's White Dent
corn grown on the university farm at
Moscow this year matured in a grow
ing period of only ITO days. This
variety has been maturing each year
while the local varieties have often
failed to do so. The last summer was
exceptionally short and corn which
would mature under these conditions
is very well adapted to the needs of
the district.
In the fall of 1916 sample of Rust
ler's White Dent seed corn was OBJ
tanned from Spokane seed company.
This variety is said to be the strain of
corn grow by the Indians of the
northwest. The first year that it was
grown on the university farm it re-
quired a growing period of 121 days.
But by means of selection and cross
breeding the present earlier maturing
and higher yielding strain has been
produced. The university is now dis
tributing this seed to the farmers of
the state.
Favorable reports have been coming
in from the farmers of northern
Idaho in the form of answers to ques-
tionairres sent by the department of
farm crops to each grower who re-
ceived sample of the seed. William
L. Hanson, prominent farmer of the
Coeur d'Alene district, wrote that the
Idaho Rustler's White Dent which he
grew on his place this year gave re-
suits which more than doubled those
of the local varieties.

JUL|AETTA CANNERY
CLOSED ITS SEASON
PLANT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
FROM THE START-THIS
SEASON WAS BEST

A few years ago a
cannery was installed in Juliaetta and
has been success from the outset.
Last week marked the clase of the
present seasons run, and the output
was the largest of any year since the
cannery began operations.
This year the seasons run began on
July and continued steadily until
last week, the apple crop being the
last of the seasons rum This was the
first season that the cannery here put
up apples, but so brisk has been the
demand for the canned apples that in
future they will probably constitute
one of the plants chief outputs.
Owing to the unusually dry season
last spring and summer there was a
great shortage in the crops of cherries,
tomatoes and beans, which three ar
ticles have, in former years, repre-
'sented the maiH items of fruits and
vegetables handled
The entire output of the cannery
this season, according to Manager
Mahon was about 400 tons, of which
IS tons were apples, as tons were cher
ries, 55 tons prunes, $50 tons toma
toes. 80 tons were pears and about
5O tons were beans and other veget-
ables and fruits.
Mr.. Mahon stated that the fruit
handled this season was of a higher
quality than that of year ago.
The total amount of fruit and veg
etables canned at Juliaetta this year
amounted to about 25 carloads.
The output of the Juliaetta cannery
is shipped to various points in Mon
tana, to Oakland, California, to Chi
cage, while the Lewiston Mercantile
company, wholesale grocers of Lewis
ton, Idaho, handles considerable part
of the entire output of the plant.
There are three or four carloads yet
remaining in the cannery awaiting box
material before shipment can be made.
Probably not all of this can be moved
before about the first of the coming
year.
AS a pay roll for the little village of

Juliaetta the cannery means much
between $1,000 and $4,000 being paid
out for labor each year, most of which
goes to local people. Again, thousands
of dollars are distributed among the
growers of fruits, and vegetables of
the Juliaetta section, much of which
products would go to waste but for
the preservation of these products by
the cannery.
During the past week the weather
man has perpetrated various kinds of
freaks in the Potlatch section. On
Thanksgiving morning the thermo-
meters recorded six degrees above
zero, while on the last day of Novem-
Der snow lies on the ground to a
depth of eight inches on the level. 4
The snow, which is beneficial to fall
sown wheat, will be hard on stock.

HORACE M|LEHAM
DEVELOPS PLEuR|sY
EX-SOLDIER HAD HIGH TEMPER
ATURE-HIS WIFE DISAP-
PEARS FROM BERKELEY

Horace J. Mileham, the ex-soldier
who shot himself with suicidal intent
in Moscow on the night of October 20
is suffering severely with pleurisy
and his conditnon is far from salts
factory. Mileham got so much better
that he was out on the street several
days, but pleurisy developed and his
condition is causing some concern.
Yesterday he had temperature of
1O21S, but is better today. He has
been wanting the attending physicians
to oprate but they do not think this
alarmed for time, over his codition,
but is again more hopeful.
His bride, who denied that she was
his wife and that she even knew him,
has completely disappeared. A report
from Berkeley, where she was attend
ing school at the University of Cali
fornia and was a member of the Alpha
Gamma Delta sorority, says she took
a three months leave of absence from
the school and efforts to locate her
have been unavailing. Her aunt, Mrs.
R. N. Diggles, blames the sorority for
.having separated Esther from her
husband. She is quoted as saying:
"Esther's sorority has caused much
of the trouble between herself and
her husband. have tried to act IN
the absence of her mother as she
would have me, and | couldn't keep
up the denial of her marriage any
longer
s'That is where these sorority girls
have made great mistake. If they
had allowed Esther to tell the truth
from the start and had not influenced
her to tell untruths, in order to protect
the honor Of her house, these troubles
would have been avoided. From the
start they have tried to set Esther
against her husband. When he was
here they called him insane because he
demanded that she leave college and
return with him. If they had left her
alone | think things would have been
WE'LL
That Mrs. Mileham, or Esther Dig
giles, as she was known in Berkeley,
has been practically expelled from the
sorority which her aunt charges was
responsible for er reputation of her
husband, is shown by the following
statement issued by the sorority, a
copy of which has just been received
here. 1t follows:
"The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority
repudiates the action of Esther Dig
giles Mileham in denying her marriage
to Horace Mileham. This sorority as
a whole, has no knowledge of her
and has assumed no re-
sponsibility for her conduct.
