building program at this time.
He has pointed out to the commit
tee the most important items in Ida
ho for consideration if building pro-
gram shall be determined upon and
strongly advises against the whole
program.
Mr.. French further states that it
could not be said that it was a means
for furnishing employment for labor
and place for the sale of materials
at once, for experience tells us it re-
quires two or three years after bill
shall be approved before the building
will actually be begun.
Mr.. French feels that the fartherest
the committee should go is toward
providing ways cor carrying forward
buildings already begun, or where
sites have been purchased and no de-
lays should occur, or where cases are
most urgent.

FRENCH GIRL WANTS
AN AMERICAN HOME
LIEUTENANT OTTO STILLINGER
WRITES TO PARENTS ABOUT
THE MATTER

Chief of Police and Mrs. ]. c. Still
niger have received a letter from their
son, Lieutenant Otto Stillinger, who is
with the American army of occupa-
ton, stating that French girl is very
anxious to come to the United States
and find home here. She has lost
all of her relatives but her grand
mother and a sister. There are prob
ably many homes in Moscow and vi
cinity which would be glad to give
shelter to a deserving young woman
such as Lieutenant tSillinger de-
scribes and If there be such they
should notify Chief Stillinger at once
and the young woman may be brought
over by Lieutenant tSillinger when he
returns to America, which will prob
ably be soon. His letter follows:

MISS ORR MAKES
AN EXPLANATION
MOSCOW WOMAN SAYS SHE DID
NOT KNOW LINDSTROM WAS
MARRIED MAN

An injustice seems to have been
done Miss Edna Orr of Moscow in
| the Introduction of testimony in the
divorce case of Edward Lindstrom,
formerly of Moscow, at Spokane last
week. An account of the testimony
was published in Saturdays Star
Mirror. In it was reference to GER
tain letters introduced in evidence by
Mrs. Lindstrom. These are letters
which Lindstrom is alleged to have
written to Miss Orr and the testimony
showed that they had been "surrend-
ered'' to Mrs. Lindstrom by Miss Orr.
The latter states that she knew
nothing of Mr.. Lindstrom being a
married man when the first letter was
written. She did not answer that let
ter. After Lindstrom moved to Spo-
kane he wrote Miss Orr the second
letter and she having learned that he
was married wrote him telling him
to never write to her again. She says
that Mrs. Lindstrom knew nothing
about the letters until she Miss ORR
told Mrs. Lindstrom of them and gave
them to the wife who used them in
the divorce proceedings at Spokane as
reported in Saturdays Star-Mirror.
The episode occurred between three
and four years ago.
Miss Orr says that Mrs. Lindstrom
came here and when Miss Orr told
the wife of the letters and Mrs. Lind
strom asked Miss Orr to write let
ter to her attorneys in Spokane and
tell the facts. Miss Orr gave Mrs.
Lindstrom the letters and calls atten-
ton to the fact that she would not
have done this had there been any un-
due intimacy between her and Mr..
Lindstrom. Miss Orr naturally regrets
the unpleasant publicity the publica-
ton of the evidence introduced in
court brought to her.

same. By the way, I wonder if you
want to raise very nice French girl
She sure would be a lot of company
for you people. At the present time
she does not speak very good English
but she is smart and would soon learn
When I tell you how old she is you
will think she is too old. She is 19
years old and seems like a girl of IA.
She has only a grandmother and an
older sister and the older sister Is a
school teacher and is coming to Am
erica very soon to teach school. She
is farmer girl and know you would
both like her She can beat me shoot
ing a As revolver and rides a bicycle
like boy. If she don't get away
from here she is doomed to stay in
this village the rest of her life. She
works very hard here, doing the work
that men should do. Now don't think
l am Joking about this for I am not
and if you know anyone that would
like to take her in their family and
have her taught English tell them to
write me. Her name is Therese Fros-
sard. She has already had a good
education in the French schools but
of course it could be improved upon
in America.
She would be fine on a farm with
some good family but it must be a
good family as / would hate to see
her mistreated.
Write me a few lines and tell me
what you think about it. I am as ever,

! A petition Is being prepared here tt
send to the Latah and Nez Perce del
egations in the state Legislature ask
| ing them to support a measure ap-
propriating $4,000 to build strip o1
road in the state of Washington. The
road in question is only about half a
mile long but it is an important link
in the North and South Highway
| it is proposed to build in Idaho and
lis an absolute necessity in order to
give a hard-surfaced road from Mos
COW and Genesee to Lewiston.
Although the road is in the state of
Washington it is of no benefit to the
people of that state, except an Oc-
casional person who might want to
come to Moscow or Genesee from the
immediate vicinity of the strip of road.
The road bed has been graded and is
in condition to receive the hard-sur-
face coating but it is, at present,
merely dirt road.
The strip of road in question lies
between the Idaho Washington state
line and the Lewiston highway which
is one of the finest pieces of road in
the west. 1t is necessary to use this
piece of road in order to connect with
this highway as this piece of road runs
around the end of very deep canyon
which it would be impossible to
bridge.
H. J. Doolittle, consulting engineer
for the Washington state highway
commission, with headquarters at Spo-
kane, who is in charge of the high
way construction work in eastern
Washington, passed through Moscow
last night enroute to Asotin where
he goes to inspect the proposed road
from Asotin to Anatone. Mr.. Doo
little called the attention Of Idaho
people to the need of building this
road and the improbability that Wash
ington would do anything to have it
hard surfaced as the road clearly be-
longs to the Idaho road system, al
though it is in Washington. Mr.. Doo
little suggested that Idaho take ac-
ton on it while the legislature is in
session. He estimated the cost at
from $4,000 to $4,000 for hard surfacing
this strip of road which he says is
just half mile in length.
The matter is to be taken up by
good roads advocates here and an eff
posed Moscow district, will not be
permitted to vote on the proposition.

MOSCOW PEOPLE SHOULD
HEAR IRWIN S. COBB

Irwin S. Cobb, probably the greatest
American writer of the present day
and an intensely interesting speaker,
is to deliver lecture at Lewiston
tomorrow (Tuesday) night, and the
lecture should be attended by Moscow
people. Mr.. Cobb will tell what he
saw in France, Germany, Belgium,
Turkey, Italy and Austria during the
war and he will tell it in an interest
ing, instructive and entertaining way
1t is said that the trip can be easily
made by car from Moscow, going via
Genesee and down the scenic high
way Every one who possibly can do
so should attend the lecture for it will
be we'll worth the trip.
